Chapter 22 Till death, Alice

The light illuminated by the psychic powder dispelled the dense night, temporarily providing the three people with barely usable light.

But the suddenly flying severed arm cleverly got stuck in the blind spot of Ed's sight. As he was wielding his shield to smash the arm under his feet, he had no time to defend himself. After hearing the warning, he could only shrink up and hide behind the shield. .

Although Aaron didn't know what would happen if he was caught by this arm, the image of being caught by two broken arms was quite scary just in his mind.

What is the name of this style of painting where the arms are severed at the elbow and flying around in the air?

At this time, Sartre had to sprinkle a pinch of psychic powder again, pointed at the arms, "Starlight above, ban."

The two severed arms that were about to catch Ed were entangled in a blue light band out of thin air. They lost their strength in the blink of an eye and hit the shield feebly.

Even though Ed had experienced many battles, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Maybe it's the Avengers Rune. This cultist is at least Silver level!" Sartre shouted again.

If the criterion for reaching the Bronze level to the Silver level is to find a way to use the extraordinary aura, then after truly understanding the extraordinary aura, it will automatically condense into a rune.

In other words, the condensed runes themselves are proof of advancing to the silver level.

The effects of runes are all kinds of strange, but most of them are related to one's own abilities.

For example, the two severed arms flying out for no reason in front of him, Sartre speculated that they were probably related to the "Avenger" rune, which was also a relatively common rune among cultists.

This kind of rune will leave a mark on the subject. When the subject dies, the remaining life and soul of the subject will be directly extracted to launch a counterattack against the attacker. The form of counterattack is also ever-changing and difficult to prevent.

For cultists of the Order of the Creeping Hand, the "Avenger" rune often causes the deceased's arms to break free and attack again.

At first glance, this rune does not seem powerful. After all, it is a rune that is similar to death. It requires a price of life and soul. However, as long as this rune falls into the hands of cultists who care about human life...

This is also the reason why Alice was in a hurry to have her attendants retreat from the beginning - in the battle with the cultists, ordinary people would not only be of no use, but would probably become the opponent's spellcasting material.

"Attention, it has passed!" Alice reminded loudly, rushing back from a distance.

She had just taken the lead, rushed into the darkness first, and successfully met the Creeping Hand. However, she did not expect that the Creeping Hand did not want to have any entanglement with her, and directly released an earth-binding hand to restrain her.

Although she quickly broke free, the creeping hands had already bypassed her and headed straight for Aaron and the others.

Following Alice's reminder again, Aaron saw a black spider-like shadow lying on the ground through the blue starlight around him, running towards them quickly.

However, he couldn't help but take a second look and found that it was not a spider at all, but a skinny human hand!

Its whole body is green and black, and it uses five fingers together. The fingers are running flexibly on the ground, exuding an ominous aura.

And when Aaron saw its appearance clearly, his vision suddenly blurred, and he only saw the skinny human hand leaping out of the air and grabbing directly towards him.

The picture was so clear that he could even clearly see the dust scattered on his palms and the long, dark nails, but he had no time to respond.

Even though the hand hadn't made contact with him yet, he already felt as if someone was strangling his neck, and a huge force was squeezing his throat.

I've been attacked?

The feeling was so real that he couldn't help but gasp.

But the air around him seemed to have abandoned him. No matter how hard he tried or how his chest rose and fell, he could only exhale but couldn't inhale any air.

"Starlight above, disperse."

Just when he was a little confused due to lack of oxygen, he finally heard Sartre's voice.

A blue beam of light fell in front of him, and he felt that the huge force hovering around his neck disappeared into thin air, and the surrounding air began to flow again.

Aaron was so shocked that he couldn't help but gasp.

But the next moment, he was stunned.

The feeling of being strangled by someone's neck just now was indeed real, because his hands actually strangled his own neck without knowing it!

Aaron subconsciously looked at his hand, which was so real and familiar, yet so unfamiliar.

In an instant, he felt a cold current spreading along his spine, making his hair stand on end.

He even had a vague illusion that this hand seemed to have become someone else's hand.

"Calm down," Sartre took the time to glance at him. Seeing that Aaron's expression was wrong, he whispered: "No matter what you see, I believe it is just an illusion. The cult atmosphere is trying to distort your perception."

"But why do my hands..."

"That's because you have just advanced to the Black Iron level and are not used to the extraordinary aura yet." Sartre whispered, "This is the characteristic of the creeping hand. Once you sense it but fail to withstand its hallucination guidance, You can't help but want to strangle yourself. Although it is just a projection, it also has such characteristics."

As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of psychic powder from his pocket again. Looking at the few spices left, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Aaron watched Ed hide behind the shield and skillfully block the attacks of the creeping hand. He could only hear the muffled sound of blunt weapons or sharp scratching sounds coming from the one-handed shield.

"Get out of the way!" Alice finally arrived at this moment. The silver-white sword was emitting a dazzling light, even directly lighting up the surrounding environment.

Taking advantage of the creeping hand hitting Ed's shield, she slashed it down without hesitation.

She didn't hold back!

Aaron only saw that the blue-black palm was vulnerable to the silver-white light, and was cut into two pieces without any room to fight back.

But the sword's remaining power remained, and it struck Ed's shield hard.

boom!

Aaron didn't know how heavy the sword was.

But the middle-aged man Ed, who was carrying a one-handed shield and a one-handed sword and wearing half-armor, seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer and flew backwards like a rag doll!

He was stunned, watching Ed's figure flying away, watching him fall heavily to the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

This is what is called "If I become ruthless, I will even beat my teammates?"

If Alice's eyes hadn't turned red, he would have thought that Alice was also controlled by the cultists.

Or maybe she is actually a berserker?

Aaron swallowed secretly and shrank carefully towards Sartre.

What's even scarier is that she is his fiancée.

A firm attitude that will last until death...

Well, it should be the kind that will not change the relationship until death, and you will kill him if you break off the engagement...
