”What? Ethan Cruz is?”
[Yes To be exact, I see the two re to hiet out hat he has left, huh”
In a way, it was his expected course of action Lee shi+n Woo had killed the Beast General, dropped the Vulture General froht undead heroes What's worse, Lee shi+n Woo had also killed Ethan Cruz's accomplice, Mentes Orun, so in ter and a pawn It would be strange if he wasn't retreating
”But Hmm There's no way he'd just leave”
”shi+n Woo, don't you think you're the reason he's leaving?”
Lee shi+n Woo muttered and Jin retorted Jin believed that Ethan Cruz had done everything he could If he were to point out a fault of his, then it would be that Ethan Cruz hadn't properly assessed Lee shi+n Woo's ability beforehand It seeest mistake
”Still, there's no way he'd just leave There are still a lot of undead left on the battlefield, and the heroes are still fighting, so the fact that Ethan Cruz is running away by hiht be exposed”
”Maybe he thinks he's already been exposed Especially since you went out of your way to pick out and kill the undead heroes”
”No Any noric wouldn't be able to ascertain the link between the undead heroes and Ethan Cruz And so long as they aren't cognizant of that link, Ethan Cruz will remain as a trustworthy hero Aside from me, no one else thinks that Ethan Cruz is evil What's worse, Mentes Orun didn't really sayto expose himself?”
”That's Wait a sec I think we'll know soon”
At that moment, Ethan Cruz had sent him a request for a private chat Lee shi+n Woo was briefly shocked but soon cal that Lee shi+n Woo was hostile towards him So, the purpose of this conversation was
”Senior?”
[Ethan Cruz: shi+n Woo, I'ht!”
[Ethan Cruz: Ooh, that's a relief This ht sound shameless, but I need your help Their airborne troops have found me! But I can't intercept them because of the buff I cast on you Help me out, Super Rookie If I die here, then the buff I cast on you will disappear as well! Everything will becoht At thatEthan Cruz was resorting to his last trick
[Ethan Cruz: The others are busy fighting, so they won't be able to help me I may sound hopeless, but help me out Come over here as soon as you can!]
”I understand, Senior! I'll go ier!”
With his level 19 Acting skill, Lee shi+n Woo replied overly lively and soon ended the private chat When he looked up at the sky, the airborne troops were circling around the area Ethan was hiding If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, then they would truly believe that Ethan Cruz was in danger
”Wait, what happened?”
”What do you mean 'what happened'? He can't leave it to anyone else, so he'll step up and do it himself”
Lee shi+n Woo led Jin towards Ethan Cruz and replied calrasped the situation, Lee shi+n Woo explained further
”The airborne troops that are circling around They're obviously on Ethan Cruz's side You know that ht?”
”Yeah, since Ethan Cruz was the one to call the Vulture General But I'eneral's subordinates”
”Yeah, that's a bit surprising to ht now”
Either Ethan Cruz and the Vulture General had for the air troops The fact that the airborne troops ly, but didn't attack Ethan Cruz was the proof
”He's probably going tothat the undead heroes that are returning to hio and help, then I'll have to fight against a disadvantageous battle, and once I'm dead, he would revive ”
Looking down on the heroes and dispatching two of the 12 generals was a mistake Therefore, it would be better for him to call each hero individually and take care of them one by one It was a reasonable conclusion Ethan Cruz wasn't ai? Are you insane?”
”Jin, you reht?”
Ethan Cruz had used his darkness ic to cast a 'buff' on him It was no simple buff; it was actually a curse that would te side effects would follow The curse's evilest ability was its hypnosis effect, and after a certain amount of time, one wouldn't be able to defy Ethan Cruz's orders
In other words, Ethan Cruz's private chat request was no request but was undoubtedly a 'command'
”But that curse didn't work on you!”
”To be exact, I was able to resist it But that guy still believes that his curse has affected me”
Of course, he could reveal that the curse hadn't affected hiainst Ethan Cruz But if he did, Ethan Cruz would iic link between him and Lee shi+n Woo
Lee shi+n Woo didn't want that To be more specific, Lee shi+n Woo actually wanted Ethan Cruz to cast another curse on hi that, Jin was dumbfounded and muttered
”I knew early on that you were one”
”This was ot that?”
Lee shi+n Woo was sure that Ethan Cruz specialized in curses But so long as Lee shi+n Woo possessed Darkness Resistance: MAX, there was no way one of Ethan Cruz's curses would affect him
If that's the case, then ould be the best way tohi hiht answer is: act like I'm affected by his curse, put him into a false sense of security, and then counterattack If my counterattack is successful, then I'll be able to inflict a grievous wound, even if he's a level 8”
”You fight way too dirty!”
”Just keeping listening”
Lee shi+n Woo clearly remembered Bisher Moon's explanation on the Deadly Force curse
'Because Deadly Force is such a fatal curse, it has a fensides First, it's difficult to use against those with ic than the caster Second, the caster cannot et's death'
The first point probably wasn't relevant to Lee shi+n Woo Lee shi+n Woo didn't think he could beat a level 8 ic
However, he could use the second downside If he could bait Ethan Cruz into using Deadly Force on him, then he'd be able to restrain a level 8 hero! Lee shi+n Woo was immune to all curses, so he'd be able to take that opportunity and attack Ethan Cruz
”I didn't nullify the curse immediately but allowed him to cast it and resisted it But this was a lot harder to do than I'd expected”
”You was the reason you allowed him to curse you because?”
”Yep I wanted to beco the extent ofthe curse itself, but nullifying its effects If that were possible, then Lee shi+n Woo would be able to do as he pleased while Ethan Cruz suffered the downsides to Deadly Force Lee shi+n Woo had been training throughout the battle in preparation for this
”I' to see him soon”
Lee shi+n Woo explained confidently and patted Jin Was he alright with that explanation? Jin ran more quickly than before and left the battlefield He was close enough to Ethan Cruz's hiding place that he could see it With Jin's speed, they would reach it in 5 seconds
'Senior Yasunori Akira is still hiding If he were to attack Ethan Cruz with me once I'm cursed, then it'll be over in a flash But”
But there was one thing that was bothering hihed He didn't really want to think about it, but it was still a possibility If it was true, then it would become a bit complicated
”Well, whatever If that happens, I'll just get three more”
'Three? Why three?'
”Senior!”
Lee shi+n Woo didn't answer Jin and yelled out He didn't know if it was because he'd gotten closer, but the circling airborne troops took that moment to descend and attack Ethan Cruz He al
