The night was dark, but not quiet at all. The noise of crowds could still be heard in the distance. Bertha listened carefully to the sounds around her, and from time to time Gaila's cry came to her.
Gaila is a hand monster that is very difficult to fight in close combat. If it were just Gaila, it would not be a big deal. What is difficult is the person. Bertha covered the wound on her shoulder, and the flying knife just touched her flesh.
It carries great power.
"If a real fight breaks out and they attack me as soon as they advance further, I will almost certainly die and have no chance of winning." Bertha's thoughts suddenly changed. They had had a good fight before, and in just a short while
, she was injured several times. If she hadn't used a trick to restrain Guy and injured him in the subsequent knife fight, I'm afraid she would have been killed directly by the senior warrior.
"No, people like him can't use one move twice. But if I want to hide here, I don't have time to hide. I have to think of a way." Bertha turned to look at the people on the street.
Bright Light: "I just need to escape to the residential area over there. Can I escape?" Bertha put the dart to her mouth and was lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, the senior soldier got a little impatient and said, "Damn it, if you want to compete with me in patience, then I'll stay with you until the end. Let's see if you can endure it or I can."
Suddenly I saw a figure appearing on the broad street. "Okay, I can't bear it anymore." The senior warrior stepped off the brick wall, and with the strength of his fighting spirit, he suddenly jumped out, and several flying knives in his hand had already been shot.
It doesn't matter whether that person is a commoner or not.
‘Ping Ping’ two flying knives landed in front of Bertha: “Have you been discovered?”
"Humph, you stupid stinky woman." The senior soldier landed not far away on the street: "Do you think you will do the same trick to me twice? I won't let you escape this time."
Bertha frowned. She knew that Gaila would be here soon. She felt that the situation was very bad and wanted to run away again.
"This is the third time, I won't let you succeed." The senior warrior threw throwing knives with both hands. The belt on his body was hung twice, and there were throwing knives under his open clothes. He was not afraid of running out. This time
He learned his lesson and blocked all the roads leading to and from Bertha.
Bertha had no choice but to parry, but before she could take action, her back tightened, and two broad hands grabbed her firmly: "Damn it, it's coming so fast!" She couldn't even hide.
Three throwing knives pierced Bertha's body directly.
The flying knives were so powerful that two of them actually pierced her soft armor. The blood quickly flowed out and turned into ice.
"Haha, you can't run away this time." The senior soldier laughed: "Gaila, let her taste your power."
Gayla let out a strange scream, grabbed Bertha's hand, and spun her against the wall like a bag.
"Ah...my hand..." Bertha screamed in pain, then her throat felt sweet and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Come back Gaila." The senior soldier saw Bertha's painful expression and laughed happily.
Gayla stepped on the wall of the room, leaped into the air, took Bertha's hand and spun it sharply in the air, and then slapped her hard on the ground again.
There was a dull thumping sound, and the thick ice was broken. Bertha felt that her internal organs were violently shaken, and her chest instantly felt like it was crushed. The blood in her mouth and nose did not flow out, but was sprayed directly.
It came out and sprayed far away. The three flying knives under the body were also pierced.
The senior soldier smiled and said: "Let go, let go, don't kill her, I still want to fight her with a flying knife."
When Gaila let go, Bertha's hand was already limp, and all the bones inside were probably broken. Besides, talking about a knife-throwing duel was a joke.
The senior warrior stepped forward and looked at her for a long time. Seeing that she didn't move at all, he kicked her with his feet, but there was still no reaction at all: "She's not really dead, is she? After all, she is also a senior knight. How can she be so inexperienced?
?" Then he picked up a throwing knife and stabbed it hard into her shoulder blade, but there was still no reaction and she didn't even move.
The senior soldier breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that he is really dead. What a pity. There are too few people playing throwing knives on the mainland. It's not easy to encounter one. He died like this before the winner was decided. That's it.
Yes, you and I have fought two battles, and the injuries are not serious. It is really unreasonable for you not to die. Come on Gaila, we are done here."
After waiting for a while, the senior soldier took Gaila back and turned to leave. The figure reflected in the streetlight slowly lengthened.
Bertha, who was lying motionless on the ground, slowly lifted up: "Fortunately, I have the art of fine steel to protect my bones and internal organs, but... I just don't seem to have fully learned it!" She looked at the man who was slowly walking away.
The senior soldier was cold, holding a dart in his mouth and flicking his head, which happened to be inserted into the senior soldier's back.
"Are you not dead yet?" The senior soldier turned back to look at her, looking very happy. He was not hurt at all by this dart, but it pricked his thick clothes: "It's a pity that this dart
It's not strong enough, otherwise I would have been injured a little bit."
Bertha lowered her arms and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to fight me? How could I die?"
"Yeah, great, let's get started." He said and took out the throwing knife again.
"Wait a minute." Bertha suddenly smiled: "Don't you want to know why I pretended to be dead?"
"Huh?" the senior soldier asked in confusion.
Bertha took a few steps back and took her position. She did not answer his question, but said: "I pretended to be dead just to insert this dart into you accurately and without any error."
The senior soldier's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Haven't you noticed yet, I don't have a few darts left on me." Bertha glanced around as she spoke.
The darts used by Bertha were thin and long, and could be placed on several layers on a special leather buckle, hundreds of them. She had used many before, but still had dozens of them on her body, but now she only had a few left.
The senior soldier looked around and saw her darts stuck everywhere on the walls, lampposts, and snow. Each dart seemed to have traces of thunder, and he was completely immersed in it. Although he didn't understand what was going on,
But he felt uneasy and hurriedly pulled out the dart from his back: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"You will soon know that electricity can attract each other." Bertha squatted down and pressed on a dart on the ground. A magic character was written on the dart in blood. When the magic power was activated, all the darts were connected with each other.
The electric currents connected, and all of them were connected to the dart in the middle.
The lightning flashed only for an instant. After the lightning faded, the senior warrior's heart was already pierced with dozens of darts.
"...Uh...you..."
Bertha said coldly: "Before you take action, use your brain first. Did I run out and let you beat me?"
The senior warrior fell to the ground, his body twitched a few times, and he was completely dead. Not long after, a hole opened in the void above his body, and Gaila crawled out of the hole.
A special space can be formed in each person's body. After death, the space is broken, and the monster has nothing to do with its owner anymore.
But Bertha's heart was in her throat. Now she had no strength to fight, let alone deal with Gaila. She really hoped that Gaila would never have any evil intentions.
Some monsters hold grudges the most, and many people who have defeated their opponents through hardships are eventually killed by the monsters that return to freedom.
Gaila stared at Bertha with a pair of narrowed eyes. It seemed to see that the other party had no strength, so it slowly took a step towards Bertha in a controlled manner.
Bertha frowned.
Seeing that she didn't move, Gaila took two more hurried steps.
Bertha felt bad and thought that she would follow in the footsteps of those who died in vain.
Suddenly, Carter's shouting was heard in the distance. When Gayla heard an outsider coming, she ran away immediately. She had just been freed, and she didn't want to become someone else's slave.
Bertha breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground. Her injuries were not light at all. There were more than a dozen visible scars on her body, and four flying knives were inserted into her body. It can be said that
She was only half a step away from death. She fell to the ground and gasped for air. She took out two pills from her pocket and swallowed them. She could only wait for Carter to save her.
…
Going back in time, Jack was already in trouble before the battle between Carter and Bertha began. He pressed the wound on his heart, and the guy in front of him was much more powerful than what Bertha and the others had encountered...
