Chapter 209 You Still Have Me
The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole, and the last wave of people appears are the mind flayers and the "hidden ones" controlled by the mind flayers!
Despite Luo Feng's mental barrier, when he devoted a lot of energy to Tai Chi to deal with Akanis' fierce attack, the Mind Flayer, the number one psychic power master in Faerûn, took advantage of it, and his mind exploded in his mind. The sound made his whole body stiffen, and his mind went blank for less than 0.1 seconds.
If this fleeting pause were against someone else, that person would not be able to react or even notice it. However, Luo Feng was facing the number one assassin in Amn, the patron saint of shadow thieves, Arkanis Gath. A tenth of a second means a thousandth of a second. As long as there is a flaw, he can find an opportunity to use the killing sword!
Luo Feng tried his best to dodge, and the sword passed through his body, grazing his heart. The tip of the sword came out from behind. Although the sword did not stab him to death, it still caused him serious injuries.
Luo Feng was also puzzled. He never expected that in addition to the Blind Church, the people who came to kill him tonight would also be the Mind Flayer!
When did you ever have a grudge against a mind flayer?
Since arriving in Faerun, Luo Feng has always paid attention to maintaining the basic diplomatic principles of "mutual respect, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence" with evil forces for the safety of the weak team members, unless it is for interests. Conflicts cannot be reconciled, such as the shadow thief who is obsessed with the troupe. He rarely conflicts with evil forces.
I don't know what happened today. The Blind Church and the Mind Flayer, which they had never had any contact with before, jumped out together and cooperated with the Shadow Thief to kill themselves.
Could it be that these two evil forces were bribed by the shadow thief to help?
No way!
The Blind Sect, the Mind Flayer Association, and the Shadow Thieves Guild have irreconcilable fundamental conflicts, and it is absolutely impossible to reach any compromise on anything.
Under the severe injury, Luo Feng temporarily lost his resistance and his consciousness was somewhat blurred. He was still calculating and thinking in his mind, but he could not figure out the logic of the three parties' cooperation to assassinate him tonight.
Is everything a coincidence?
This thought finally came to him, and the conclusion made him smile bitterly. Could it be that he had committed too many sins, and even God could not see it? The entire world of Faerûn had a deep malice towards him.
The Mind Flayer disguised as a human led the "Hidden Ones" to surround the Shadow Thief. Looking at Luo Feng, who was lingering under the sword of Akanis, he said in hoarse and modified Faerentian: "Leave that person behind." His life, give him to me."
His dark eyes swept across, and the shadow thieves were in a trance. They stood there blankly. Some of them were weak-willed and couldn't hold the daggers in their hands and fell to the ground.
Arkanis sneered. His will was as strong as iron, and despite his deliberate precautions, the Mind Flayer's mental abilities could not affect him at all.
His sword was still stuck in Bredlow's chest. As long as he twisted the hilt and stirred the blade, all of Bredlow's internal organs would be minced. His life and death were controlled by Arcanis's hands.
How could he be intimidated by a mere mind flayer and give up on the person he must kill?
"No one can save the people I want to kill. Bradlow will die tonight unless..."
"cough……"
Before Arkanis could finish his words, Bredero, who was standing stiffly after being stabbed in the chest, coughed up blood and weakly interrupted him: "I don't want to die yet. I think there's a good chance I won't die tonight either." .”
"Ah."
Akanis snorted coldly, glanced at him, and said: "No one wants to die, but death will come eventually. Do you have any special skills to escape?"
Luo Feng smiled weakly at him, his smile was very charming, and he said meaningfully: "I still have you."
Arkanis was stunned. He suddenly realized that he was also injured. When he stabbed Bredero with his sword, Bredero also took out a sharp weapon and stabbed him hard in the chest.
However, Bredro's stab didn't cause much damage, and he didn't even feel any pain. Arkanis thought that his leather armor was strong enough to block the sharp blade.
He quickly looked at the part where he was stabbed. Three arrows exuding divine power were inserted there, and the arrow shafts were held in Bradero's hand.
The Patron Saint of Shadow Thieves looked at Bredreau in astonishment, but was surprised to find that this man looked so good-looking when he smiled!
With those melancholy eyes, mournful beard, miraculous boxing skills, and the evil smile on his handsome face, Akanis felt a warmth in his heart, and an emotion he had never experienced before was drying up. The murderous heart sprouted, sprouted, sprouted, and took root. The roots tightly grasped his iron-like heart!
No!
The patron saint of shadow thieves clenched his steel teeth, resisting the fatal temptation of the man in front of him with his tenacious will.
How could I like a man?
I am a tough guy among tough guys, and I will never feel any warmth towards anyone, even if he is a man with a nice smile!
He was exempted from the permanent charm spell of the first Cupid Arrow, but the Will Test of the second arrow struck again.
But, but why does my heart hurt so much!
Seeing him so weak and hurt like this, I feel really guilty. His blood has been flowing. If it keeps flowing like this, he will die!
What a talented man he is. His plays can make me, as cold as I am, feel a touch of human warmth, and allow me to escape for a moment into the dream world he created when I was the loneliest and lonelyest.
There is a tiger in the heart, sniffing the roses carefully, and a tough man also has tenderness. Doesn't the cold heart cultivated by endless killings need a little warmth?
No!
The shadow thief's patron saint, heaven and man, were at war, and his murderous heart was pulsing, which offset his appreciation and admiration for the inner beauty of the man in front of him.
Killing is the path I pursue. It is a rugged road paved with blood!
Nothing and no one can shake me! I am Arkanis-Gath, the patron saint of shadow thieves, the shadow thieves guild is my home, and the shadow thieves are my family. The great cause forged with iron and blood will be carried forward in my killing hands!
The second Arrow of Cupid was also exempted by him, but to be on the safe side, Luo Feng shot out three arrows at once. The God of Cupid power contained in the third arrow exploded, hitting Akanis again like a huge wave with flesh and blood. A spiritual dam made of dry bones.
Why do people live?
I, Arkanis, have worked hard for the Shadow Thieves Guild all my life. I have killed so many people for the Guild and established so many achievements, but how have I ever lived for myself?
Am I always a murderer hiding in the shadows, unworthy of living in my own little world?
Even if you become a butterfly in the next life, or fleeting like a shooting star, at least you will live out your true self!
The man in front of me, at first glance, felt that he had an indissoluble bond with the killer. Somehow, he felt that even if the most desperate killer met him, the line of fate would tremble slightly and start a completely different life. In that kind of life, you will be happy, satisfied, feel emotions, and experience love!
Could this man be the one I, Akanis, am destined to be?
Is my destiny just drifting with the tide, doomed to rush towards the ending of killing and never return?
No!
The precious opportunity given by the goddess of fate is fleeting. I can't sink in the sea of blood. I want to change. I want to accept this fate!
"Yes, you and I!"
Akanis held Luo Feng's hand, his eyes shone with a captivating light, and his tone was as firm as iron but gentle enough to melt steel: "I will never allow anyone to hurt you!"
