Chapter 515: Dark Souls (2/2)
”Don't worry! I am not going to let you guys hang two blue balls in between your legs. Everyone will have his turn after I am done with her! I am sure she will fetch a good price on the market too!”
Another burst of laughter erupted among the group of vile men.
Tan Bu and Duo Lun's faces were taut; they knew that their situation was dire. Not only their opponents had the edge in number, but some of the outlaws were of a higher level than them.
”The dagger is poisonous.” Tan Bu spoke under his breath. Despite the peril they were in, he had kept his calm. Duo Lun gritted his teeth and let out a few words between his clenched jaws. ”What should we do?”
”Can you fend them off for a while? I need to bring the poison under control.”
Charles didn't mind the two's quiet exchange of murmurs. ”Haha! Have you heard of the X-593 nerve agent? I have never heard of anyone who was able to expel the poison by himself.”
Tan Bu's face twitched slightly, as he could feel the position getting out of control and attacking his sea of consciousness directly.
Charles slowly took out a bottle and announced, ”Here is the antidote. Follow me from now on. We have everything here! I bet you wish to taste that little spicy medic too, don't you?”
Despite the fury inside of Tan Bu and Duo Lun, they didn't lose their calm. Duo Lun scanned their surroundings and conceded that they were trapped. If Tan Bu were not injured, they might have had a chance at breaking the encirclement. They had been walking for a long time, and therefore, Duo Lun didn't expect Wang Tong to notice the commotion this far away.
”Who are you? Why do you want to kill us after we saved you? Do you have any shred of humanity left in you?” Duo Lun chastised Charles.
”Humanity? Haha! What a joke! I just want to live… No, I want to live like a king! Haha... Hurry up and make your decision. I have already drugged the other two. I have a nice curvy body to enjoy after I am done away with you!”
”Charge!” Tan Bu's voice boomed.
With that, the two young soldiers charged at Charles at the same time.
”You are courting death!” Charles didn't flinch, and summoned two mastery fireball which he hurled at the two soldiers. The two fireballs were meant to stagger the two soldiers, but not to kill.
Tan Bu was still struggling with the poison inside his system, so he was not fast enough to evade the attack. Duo Lun, on the other hand, quickly veered to the left and dodged the attack. Without any hesitation, Tan Bu corrected his course and continued his charge.
By then, Charles had already unleashed the second mastery attack: the Fire Drake. The rest of the outlaws swarmed at them as well.
Despite being outnumbered and outclassed, Tan Bu and Duo Lun fought bravely and didn't show any signs of backing down.
A cold sneer found Charles's lips. ”Kill!” He issued a command.
The attacks from the bandits that surrounded Tan Bu and Duo Lun suddenly gained both speed and vigor. Life was draining out of Tan Bu's face by the second. Every time he used his soul energy, the poison would gnaw at his sea of consciousness.
”Leave, Duo Lun! ” Before Tan Bu could finish his words, he was dealt another blow.
”Buzz off! We will get out of here alive together!”
Suddenly, Tan Bu shouted and charged up all of the remaining GN force with abandon.
”KOM!”
In a blink, his eyes had become bloodshot, his face pale like a piece of paper. ”Go!”
He snatched Duo Lun by his shirt and threw him over the crowd. And then, he charged at Charles despite the excruciating pain from the poison.
By then, Tan Bu had fallen deep into a battle trance and unlocked his full potential as a level fourteen warrior. But, Duo Lun didn't leave the battlefield either; he charged at Charles after he gathered himself from the fall.
Charles cursed quietly. He wanted to finish the two as quickly as possible, but the fight had been dragging on for too long.
”Kill! Just kill them all!”
A few dozen sharp blades hewed towards Duo Lun and Tan Bu.
”Aim at the head. Don't damage their METAL suit!” Charles put in.
Suddenly, a flare shot out from nowhere and disoriented the bandits. When they opened their eyes again, the two young soldiers had disappeared.
