Critical hit!
All of Marvin’s tricky combos just now were for the sake of this moment!
His power was very limited and thus his strategy was to attack the enemy weak point, to maximize the amount of damage!
The curtain of night scattered and the setting sun shone onto Jack’s face, which showed unfathomable pain.
His knees were soft, and he slowly knelt down!
But what made Marvin shocked was that this guy was actually not dead!
”I have an undead body!” Black Jack roared toward Marvin!
However, his limbs were trembling and he couldn’t move!
Marvin’s eyes narrowed. He wouldn’t rashly approach.
Black Jack’s HP had dropped very low, but it didn’t end up as a Fatal Hit!
‘This guy is truly at the limit of the 3rd rank.’ Marvin was feeling apprehensive.
Luckily he chose this kind of attack!
Many 3rd rank class holders had a toughness characteristic that could make them immune to Fatal Hits!
Their body had been toughened up to a certain level. Their heart, and even their brain had an abnormal recuperative ability. They wouldn’t instantly die unless they were beheaded!
They would instead die slowly!
During that time, if they were properly treated, they could still recover!
‘Thankfully I didn’t decide to just use Cutthroat or aim at his heart, or else the consequences could have been unthinkable.’
There was some sweat in Marvin’s palms.
This was lingering fear.
In that fight, it looked as if everything was under his control, but Marvin knew how much pressure Black Jack, who was on the verge of the 3rd rank, gave him!
If not for the fury from watching those innocents lying in a pool of blood, Marvin might have not been brave enough to fight head on with Black Jack!
Those three consecutive combos almost exhausted all of Marvin’s cards and skills. Yet this was barely enough to knock Black Jack down.
If there was a mistake in any of these three combos, Marvin could have ended up on the receiving end.
This was like walking on a tightrope.
Fortunately, Marvin succeeded. Sure enough, Black Jack was immune to Fatal Hits, but the Kingfisher Jade dagger was still stuck in the back of his head, deeply piercing into his spine¹!
His nervous system had already been wrecked. It could be seen from his limbs’ movements. He wanted to stand up, but was powerless.
His very high HP was slowly declining.
But while dying, one wouldn’t avoid the pain, and especially the fear of knowing that death was approaching.
Marvin slowly went around and stood in front of Black Jack’s body, still maintaining a certain distance from him.
He was careful to not make a mistake. Who knew if this madman had something to drag him down together or not. Before he was thoroughly dead, Marvin would still keep his distance.
...
”Coward!”
Black Jack spat out some blood, his eyes wide opened as he stared at Marvin. ”Trickster, I’ll kill you...”
But he didn’t finish his sentence before he heard a ”Woosh!” A dart was ruthlessly thrown at him, accurately hitting his shoulder!
His body immediately got knocked to the ground as he painfully groaned.
Marvin was holding onto a few darts, fiddling with them emotionlessly.
He didn’t bother to ask something stupid like why Black Jack killed those innocent elves. He had already guessed Black Jack’s reason. It was simply in order to advance.
This guy was so lawless, that he probably had fallen out with the Shadow Spider Order, completely losing their blessing. In the end, he could only seek refuge in the most extreme group.
The Outlaws of the Crimson Road had always been a source of chaos. In Feinan’s continent, every time there was chaos, the shadow of the Outlaws of the Crimson Road could be seen behind it.
He just stood there, ruthlessly throwing dart after dart at Black Jack!
Dart wounds weren’t deep, but they did hurt.
Marvin especially chose some non vital areas for his darts.
Soon, Black Jack’s body was covered in darts!
Upon taking a closer look, his current situation was very frightening. Blood was flowing everywhere. There were even two darts in his cheeks.
Marvin was just like the most ruthless executioner, ending Black Jack’s life bit by bit.
This kind of person… his sins were too great! To give him an easy death would be far too merciful!
Black Jack’s vitality was comparable to 3rd rank class holder, so after losing his ability to move, he could only endure this torture!
