Chapter 22 Return to the city
??Dealing with the man itself was not that troublesome. When the opponent showed his blood bar, Duanmuhuai immediately led Ogis forward to kill him and killed him easily. Then, they returned to the real world.
?But looking at the system prompts in front of him at this moment, Duanmu Huai was not in a good mood.
【Mission "Angry Soul" completed】
【Task evaluation: Barely passed】
【Although you were not his first choice, your fighting ability was barely recognized by him】
【Trigger the follow-up mission "Sleeping Girl"】
【Soul Card +5】
I’m QNMD... Duanmu Huai really wanted to swear. Although he did say that he failed two copies in a row, the system rating would not be high, but what the **** is this thick disgusting tone?
Besides, you are such a loser, why do you still dislike me?
?At the very end, Duanmu Huai figured out what this man wanted to do. To put it bluntly, he was tortured by the guilt of being a father and the pride of being a scholar. He was in so much pain that he begged for relief. Duanmu Huai happened to be here, so this **** put down his burden and went to that world to sleep with his daughter forever. As for the trouble he left behind, he left it to himself!
?Who the **** are you? You went to pursue peace of mind on your own, so you left your troubles to me and ran away? It''s such a corruption of moral values... Duanmu Huai now only regrets that he didn''t smash the man''s head into pieces when he took care of the BOSS just now.
There is also the name of the mission "Angry Soul". It was this name that misled Duanmu Huai, making him think that the purple-haired girl was angry because her father was killed. But in fact, this "Angry Soul" refers to the man''s response to the murder of his father. The anger of his own twisted and cowardly will - to put it bluntly, he is furious at his own incompetence?
??I really should have smashed you to death just now... No, it seems I really did.
Forget it, it’s useless to talk to the dead.
?Duanmuhuai silently crossed out the task, and then looked at the soul card in his hand.
?This time because the mission evaluation is low, there are only five guaranteed cards.
【Ghost Mansion (Bronze)】
?【Consumption: 1】
【Whenever one of your followers (except the Wraith Spirit) is destroyed, summon a Wraith Spirit to the battlefield】
【Ghost (Bronze)】
【Consumption: 2】
【Attack: 2】
【Defense: 2】
【Must kill】
【Immortal Resentment (Bronze)】
【Consumption: 2】
【Inflict 3 points of damage to an enemy target】
【Necromancy (2): damage changed from 3 to 5】
【Shortcut to Death (Bronze)】
【Consumption: 2】
【Give yourself a follower (certain kill) effect】
（??）
【Consumption: 3】
【Attack: 2】
【Defense: 2】
【Sealed (unusable)】
?Five guaranteed cards, the last one is still unused, okay, no surprises, no surprises.
??The necromancy cards have a special element, which is (necromancy) design. It has many special effects that require enough dead cards in the graveyard to activate. For example, the card [Immortal Resentment] means that when there are two death cards in the graveyard, necromancy can be activated to increase the original 3 points of damage to 5 points.
??Of course, after activating Necromancy, the corresponding number in the graveyard will be -2.
The dead cards in the graveyard naturally come from cards that were destroyed in battle.
Fortunately, Duanmu Huai currently has no shortage of dead cards. After all, he can summon unlimited dolls, and each destroyed doll is equivalent to +1 in the cemetery. There are at least nearly a hundred dead cards in Duanmu Huai''s graveyard right now. , there are so many that there is almost no place to use them. But now it''s better. With the necromancy cards in hand, Duanmu Huai can achieve a positive cycle - use dolls to pile graves, and then use [Immortal Resentment] to kill enemies. In the later stage, if he can get more What a powerful undead card, and it will only be stronger when paired with the dolls in the tomb!
Not only that, Duanmuhuai’s biggest gain this time is the bronze card [Shortcut to Death].
The reason is very simple, it will give its followers a sure-kill effect!
Must kill!
The necromancy type’s sure kill is a rules-based killing curse. Unless the opponent has a similar special ability (not affected by special effects) and can only be knocked down head-on, otherwise it is basically equal to death.
This also means that if Duanmu Huai encounters a high-level demon like the Bloodthirsty Madman again, he does not even need to risk sending out Ojis. Instead, he can summon a puppet at random and then use [Death Shortcut] to grant it The sure-kill effect, and then let the puppet go up and touch the bloodthirsty maniac, and the latter will die immediately. It''s just that Duanmu Huai doesn''t intend to use this card on himself or Ojis, because the sure kill is a permanent effect and will not be eliminated unless death. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Duanmu Huai plans to use this card with the doll. In this way, it is not only relatively cost-effective, but also does not worry about consuming heat energy. More importantly, it can be used and thrown away without worrying about consumption.
??Moreover, with this card, combined with [Ghost] and [Wraith], it is much easier to deal with the believers and subordinates of the God of Filth.
As for the task [Sleeping Girl], Duanmu Huai currently has no way to complete it. The task requires Duan Muhuai to go to at least five undead fragment worlds - so far, he has no idea, so he can only take his time.
??The attack power of that card was not very high anyway - in fact, after looking at the card, Duanmu Huai understood why the purple-haired girl was able to fight him back and forth.
With only 2 points of attack and defense, it is only at the same level as myself...
??Although it is a core card, Duanmu Huai really doesn''t see how powerful this card is.
In short, let’s leave it alone.
?After getting six soul cards, Duanmuhuai left Luoyue Forest and returned to the City of Silver. Although the elf scouts also provided him with several pieces of information, except for Luoyue Forest, Duanmuhuai did not trigger any missions, so he did not waste time - since no missions were triggered, it was probably just a rumor.
??Back to the Silver City, it still feels like a desolate place. There are almost no pedestrians on the streets and only soldiers guarding the city walls. It is not surprising that the city gate that was originally smashed was finally repaired. After all, before Duanmu Huai left, he heard from the elf scouts that most of the residents here were in panic because of the attacks by the rat people and followers of the evil god. They all fled the city.
After saying hello to the castle guards, Duanmuhuai entered the castle.
However, to Duanmuhuai''s surprise, when he came to the castle hall, what he saw was not Alyssa and her mother, nor the Caddo Knight Captain, but the one who led the reinforcements here... …What’s that guy’s name?
Forget it, no matter what his name is, this guy is currently sitting in the lord''s position, looking at Duanmuhuai at leisure.
“Ah, it really surprises me, Mr. Black Knight, I didn’t expect you to come back.”
“I just came to see Alyssa, where is she?”
Duanmu Huai glanced around and asked in a low voice. When he heard his question, the guy showed a proud smile.
"Ah, please rest assured that Miss Alyssa and her mother are both safe...but you...maybe you should consider your situation."
As he spoke, the man snapped his fingers. The next moment, a large group of armed and violent believers suddenly rushed out from all around, holding bows, crossbows, swords and shields, and surrounded Duanmu Huai.
“What does this mean?”
Duanmu Huai glanced around and asked coldly, while the man smiled slightly.
“Actually, it’s nothing, it’s just that I made an agreement with some people and hope to keep you...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”
?However, before the man could finish his words, he saw the war hammer in Duanmu Huai''s hand suddenly thrown out, and his legs were broken with a "bang".
“Attack, attack!”
?Seeing the man being attacked, someone soon shouted, and the tyrannical believers raised their crossbows and aimed at Duanmuhuai''s helmet - but the next moment, the scenery in front of the soldiers suddenly split into two and split diagonally. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the hall who were fully armed and holding swords and shields seemed to be cut by invisible blades, turning into pieces of scattered flesh and blood, scattered on the ground.
?Until then, Ogis lowered her hands, and the brilliance of the puppet''s silk threads flashed across her fingertips.
Duanmuhuai didn''t care about these boring trivial matters. He just strode forward towards the usurping lord.
“You actually dare to make a deal with the evil god, betray order, and become a lackey of Chaos!”
“You, don’t come over!”
??Looking at the tall warrior with black armor walking towards him, the man whose legs were smashed also turned pale at this moment. He tried desperately to struggle, but he couldn''t even move.
“I am a lord personally appointed by the emperor. If you kill me, it will be equivalent to becoming an enemy of the empire...ahhhhhhh!!”
?However, before the man could finish speaking, Duanmu Huai had already stepped on his palm, crushing the man''s right hand into pieces of flesh.
"so what?"
“…You…by doing this, you are defying His Majesty the Emperor…”
Hearing this, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, picked up the war hammer that broke the man''s legs, and then raised it high.
"Anyone who betrays order and takes refuge in Chaos will die. Whether he is an emperor or a king, the lackeys of Chaos must be eliminated!"
?As he spoke, Duanmu Huai''s war hammer hit hard!
“Bang!!”
?Blood mixed with brain matter spattered on the wall. The man''s body jumped up like a fish, then collapsed heavily to the ground, unable to react anymore.
"snort."
Duanmu Huai took back his war hammer without even looking at the idiot''s body.
??I really didn’t expect that this kind of thing would happen. It seems that reality is not a game after all...
“Oh, I didn’t expect you to be so fast... I thought I could catch up.”
Just as Duanmuhuai was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him. Duanmuhuai turned his head and saw that the elf scout was supporting Cardo, who was all injured, and waved to him. Behind her were Alyssa and her mother who were in shock.
“But fortunately, it looks like I’m not too slow, right?”
