Chapter 112 112

Chapter 29. Friendly Fire

After the Dark-robed Magic Puppet's followers were removed from their petrification state, they would wake up within 30 seconds.

The design of this place was full of bad taste. For example, from the entrance of the tomb to the second coffin where the dark-robed magic puppet was hiding, a level 40 player with an agility increase of 2.5 per level could take just 30 seconds to run to the scene while panting.

This was probably the time limit.

However, if he exceeded this level, the magic puppet would wake up earlier. By the same logic, the dark-robed marionette's awakening time would be shortened if a magic item or a speed-increasing skill was used.

Coincidentally, no matter how fast you sped up, it would always open its eyes just as you rushed into the tomb and opened the coffin lid, and then reveal a shocking look.

Char had suspected that the system had malicious intentions.

Until one day, he realized that this could be very cool.

Char did not turn invisible, nor did she soften her footsteps. He ran down the stairs, and the noise she made woke up a gargoyle on the ceiling!

The level 35 Magic Stone Gargoyle leader was also the last barrier to protect the Dark-robed Magic Puppet!

The underground tomb of the Elves was huge. The elves seemed to be here to let the souls of their ancestors have a party. There was even a crystal chandelier on top of their heads. The first floor was also filled with gargoyle sculptures for defense, which they called Sky Magic Puppets.

Now that the tomb was in ruins, the chandeliers had long been damaged, and the demonized gargoyle was hanging upside down from the center of the ceiling. When Char took his first step down, it immediately spread its demonic wings, and in an instant, they were more than five meters wide!

The thing whizzed over, and its two cold, sharp claws, like iron hoops, grabbed his shoulders.

Char did not even try to dodge, allowing the other party to pierce through his leather armor and send him flying.

The gargoyle flaunted its spoils of war and flew around the elf's grave. It then brought the elf to the Dark-robed Magic Puppet that was getting up from the coffin.

There were only three seconds left before the puppet fully awakened. It had only stood up, but the gems in its eyes had not yet lit up.

Everything was ready. Char prepared his skills, relaxed hos body, and continued to approach!

Rider Kick!

Borrowing the gargoyle's speed, Char kicked the puppet's most vulnerable chest!

The Shadow Servant's [Divine Dragon Tail] was activated!

[Divine Dragon Tail: The well-trained Shadow Servant can use a powerful kick to cause a lot of damage to the opponent and cause a temporary stun effect, causing damage to machines, puppets, and other units that can not be stunned.]

Buzzzzzz!

With the addition of the high-speed flight's potential energy, the puppet's chest caved in, and Char's foot was stuck in it.

The gargoyle's speed did not slow down. When it saw this, it angrily tried to pull Char away from its master, but Char used the momentum to hook onto the puppet. His body swung down like a pendulum, and he held tightly onto the puppet's neck.

The gargoyle pulled with all its might, and it actually managed to pull both the human and the puppet up!

As the wind blew past his ears, Char hugged the dark-robed puppet tightly with all his strength.

At this moment, the latter woke up.

It was about to slap the annoying bug to death, but when it saw that it was Char, it could not help but stop.

"Hurry up! Use more strength!"

Char shouted through gritted teeth. Zin'rokh understood and growled. He swung his claws at him with all his might, and Char lowered her head!

With a crack, the gargoyle's claws broke like paper.

It hit!

It was an ally!

The gargoyle slanted away in pain and hit its head against the wall, falling listlessly.

Without the attractive force from the air, the puppet and the human drew a perfect parabola in the air and crashed into the tomb wall.

The underground tombs of the elves were all very luxurious. Even the lamp frames protruding from the walls were made into the shape of two snakes surrounding a sword, with candles at the tip of the sword.

It was made of Khorium and was extremely hard. It pierced through the puppet.

The puppet shrieked in pain. Char knew how to take advantage of the situation and cut off the magic puppet's spiral horns, making it lose its ability to summon mana and elements. It was now a simple-minded creature that only knew how to fight in close combat. The tip of his sword accurately pierced through the puppet's anus and destroy its gem.

This clean and neat technique shocked even Zin'rokh.

"You're worthy of your reputation! You have such a deep understanding of the puppet's structure!"

The voice sounded in Char's head.

'I've dismantled at least eight thousand puppets with my bare hands!'

The process was perfect.

At this moment, the limbless gargoyle pounced forward valiantly. Char calmed down slightly and held the longsword tightly with both hands. Hos palms were pressed against the embossed of the blazing phoenix on the handle. He took a step forward, raised the longsword high, and slashed at the gargoyle's body!

The sword light brought with it a string of dazzling sparks, illuminating the slightly dark underground tomb.

The gargoyle twisted its body in midair in pain.

Having lost its legs, it was very clumsy in controlling its direction. Char immediately jumped onto the magic puppet with the help of the wall. In mid-air, she chased after the gargoyle and slashed out with her sword.

This time, the long sword left a deep wound on the opponent's hard wing, but the blade of the sword was bent because of it.

The gargoyle finally realized that the human in front of it was not easy to deal with, so it turned around and tried to escape.

However, as soon as it opened up a distance from Char, the latter's two icicles blocked its path.

Although the icicles were unable to deal any damage to such a magic-immune unit, they did form a thick layer of ice on its wings. The Gargoyle's body slanted and crashed into the ground, and it was greeted by a coffin that was lifted up.

Bang! Bang!

The dust that had accumulated in the underground tomb for years was suddenly stirred up by the air wave, and the room was covered in dust.

Char threw an [Ascending Airflow] as if he had predicted it, and swept them all towards the stairs. She even used water to clean the surrounding air, so that there was not even a speck of dust on her clothes.

"Alright, let's get down to business. I'm going to collect the spoils first."

Char deftly dug out the gargoyle's eyes and pulled out the hollow bone tubes hidden under the magic stone on its wings. She even took out its toenails. Finally, she found a few similarly hollow ribs from its broken abdomen. She collected them one by one and stored them all.

As expected of one of the most outstanding creations of a magic civilization. As a level 35 Demonic Gargoyle Leader, its entire body was a treasure. The 4400 exp it had gained was far more than just a small amount.

Nailed to the wall, Zin'rokh did not even bother to struggle.

The blueprint had changed.

"What?"

"All orders related to Hilda have disappeared. Instead, I'll have to directly attack Felix Dawn."

"Oh?"

Char stopped and thought for a few seconds.

Originally, Felix had only been corrupted after Hilda had been corrupted and the 500 members of the Fury Guards had all died. In the end, he could have been saved by Orivande at the cost of his life. However, it seemed that he could not even do that.

The blueprint was not IT will.

Even if Char had not informed Zin'rokh beforehand, she could have guessed that the next target would be Felix.

"Do you have any other instructions?"

"No"

"I know."

Shaya took out a rusty ancient elven sword from a stone coffin and blew the dust off it. He then turned around and walked towards the magic puppet with a kind smile.

"You will drop the [Magic Puppet's Heart], right?"

Zin'rokh was taken aback at first, but then he forced a smile.

Char's heart sank.

'It can't be, right?'

"There's a priceless crown hidden behind that secret compartment!" Zin'rokh said awkwardly. "It's so valuable!"

"How can I not f*cking know?"

After destroying the Magic Puppet's life core gem, Char searched its stomach and turned around with a dark expression.

Buzzzzzz!
