“Swoosh!”
Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang attack came as a sudden ambush, completely unexpected.
However, it held no advantageous outcome.
“Ding!”
Hayward Xavier, who had been smiling at Dean McKenzie’s face the whole time, had never for a moment let his guard down, much less become complacent.
As soon as Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang was on its way, he already flicked it away with the dagger in his hand.
Simultaneously, he quickly gave up on the nearly dead Douglas Murphy, and headed straight for Dean McKenzie!
Dean McKenzie reacted quickly with a “Slow Curse” to halt his opponent, immediately followed by “Bone Resistance”.
He used the same move again.
But this time, it didn’t have the same effect as before.
The Slow Curse had just taken effect when a blood-red light flared on Xavier’s body, nullifying the control.
At the same time, he flashed to avoid Dean McKenzie’s Bone Resistance, then aggressively lunged.
“Bone Armor!”
“Full Defense!”
Dean McKenzie’s reaction wasn’t slow either, he directly activated his ultimate ability, entering the Turtle Shell Defense state.
After his third-turn transformation, Dean, who had become a numerical monster, had his defense raised by two or three times in this state.
Xavier’s attack couldn’t break through Dean McKenzie’s defense.
“Nice skill!”
Standing next to Dean McKenzie’s Bone Armor, Xavier gently tapped Dean McKenzie’s defense and praised, “Breaking it won’t be an easy task. As expected from someone who can pass the Hell Mode Trial, you are indeed something.” “But, aren’t you better off alive? Why attack me? Didn’t I let you go?”
“What I want is more than just getting away, and I don’t trust you!” Dean McKenzie replied from within his defensive stance.
“From the moment you laid eyes on me, I knew you wouldn’t let me go!”
“You are rather vigilant. Unfortunately, you are a bit naive. I let you out and you just came out?
If you had stayed inside, I would have been a bit cautious around you.
After all, as much as I don’t want to admit it, Donald Morgan is a formidable adversary. If he dared let you challenge me, he must have had confidence that you could kill me.
But now that you’ve come out, whatever he had planned is of no use.
Without his tactics, a mere third-turn Mage like you is nothing before me.”
Dean McKenzie’s brows raised, just as he was about to retort, Xavier had already seen his dissatisfaction.
“Disagree?”
“Thinking just because you defeated a third-turn as a second-turn, you can defeat a fourth-turn as a third-turn?
You are too naive.
The gap between second and third-turns, and third and fourth-turns, is an entirely different concept, not on the same level.
Let me show you the vast difference between us!”
As Hayward Xavier spoke, his dagger gently pierced into the Bone Armor in front of Dean McKenzie.
This attack, despite not being a fierce outburst nor having strong power, most likely not amounting to more than a hundred thousand, still truly pierced Dean McKenzie’s Bone Armor. Concurrently, Dean could clearly feel his Bone Armor stalling.
Nearly immediately, Dean saw myriad cracks appearing on his Bone Armor.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie’s face changed colors.
At the same moment, a faint smile appeared on Xavier’s face: “The biggest difference between the third and fourth turn is how to utilize their own strength. Third-turn professionals utilize the strength, fourth-turn professionals gradually master the strength.”
The same ability, same kind of attribute, used by a third and fourth turn have different results.
For instance, this strike of mine would only interrupt a same-level professional’s skill. However, against a third-turn like you, I can use it to break your skill! Do you understand?”
Dean McKenzie stared at his crumbling Bone Armor and subconsciously nodded, “I see. No wonder after the fourth-turn, there is an additional ‘Intermediate’ Trait that reduces the damage from low-level professionals by eighty percent and increases damage to low-level professionals by eighty percent. So that’s why!”
“Huh?”
Hayward Xavier, worthy of being the one to counterkill Donald Morgan, felt that something was wrong the moment he heard Dean McKenzie’s words.
Moreover, his reaction was acutely swift. He wanted to retreat from Dean McKenzie almost instantaneously.
But it was too late!
The Gate of Bone behind Dean McKenzie opened instantly, and Bone King Doggy Two, who had been amassing power for quite a while, roared from within.
The Bone King with Dragon’s Might instantly turned Xavier’s face pale.
At the same time, Old Eight emerged from the shadow beneath Xavier and pierced straight through his chest.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang struck Xavier’s chest.
The terrifying frost immediately detonated, instantly freezing Xavier’s body into an ice statue.
“[Successfully killed Hayward Xavier (Bloody Saint) (Perfect) (Level 81), your level raises to Level 62!]”
“[Your Strength, Physique, Agility and Spirit each increase by 16 points!]”
The system refreshed.
Foretelling that this cunning individual had indeed been stealthily killed off by Dean McKenzie.
After killing Xavier, Dean McKenzie quickly turned his gaze to Douglas Murphy and shot off another Bone Fang.
He got a bargain, sweeping up the barely breathing Douglas Murphy too.
[You have successfully killed [Douglas Murphy] (Rare) (Level 101), your level has risen to 65!]
[Your attribute points have been increased, you have been granted an additional quota, currently remaining quota: 3!]
And this was just the beginning.
Dean McKenzie took away these two major players, he didn’t let any of the currently immobilized ones get away either; he killed all of them.
[You killed 366 Second-Turn Blood Cult members]
[You killed 231 Third-turn Blood Cult members]
[You killed 7 Fourth-turn Blood Cult members!]
[Your level has risen to 71!]
One base alone has made Dean McKenzie’s level skyrocket by 10.
Then, Dean McKenzie started extracting talents.
[You successfully used Extraction on [Hayward Xavier], gaining 50 attribute points, and a fragment of a Perfect Template!]
[You successfully used Extraction on [Douglas Murphy], gaining 50, and a Rare Quality Template!]
It has to be said, the quality of this base is quite high.
Those who could reach the Second-Turn were basically of Excellent Quality; about half of the Third-Turn ones were of Rare Quality; and among the Fourth-Turn, only one was of Excellent Quality.
In one fell swoop, Dean McKenzie got 150 Excellent Templates and 50 Rare Templates.
The most important part was that after getting Hayward Xavier’s template, Dean McKenzie now had two fragments of Perfect Quality templates on hand. He only needed one more to compose a Perfect Quality Template.
Dean McKenzie’s eyes couldn’t help but linger on the only surviving blood cult member, Donald Morgan.
Donald Morgan also possessed a Perfect Template. As long as he killed him, Dean McKenzie could obtain a Perfect Template.
At this moment, Donald Morgan was barely hanging on. If only Dean McKenzie made a stronger effort, his death would be certain.
However, Dean McKenzie didn’t make that effort at that moment. He only glanced at the limbless Donald Morgan before he opened the Gate of Bone.
At this moment, the Gate of Bone that Dean McKenzie opened led directly to a cold, dank dungeon built by Old Six.
And in that dungeon, was a child.
A three- or four-year-old girl, who looked as delicate as a crafted doll.
Aside from this little girl, there were Doggy Two from Dean McKenzie’s home, Old Six, Old Four, and Old Nine.
There were also 45 Fourth-Turn Skeletons that had just been summoned after completing their promotion in the Promotion Temple.
And they were all staring at the little girl.
To keep an eye on this girl, Dean McKenzie didn’t even ask Doggy Two to step in when he was killing Hayward Xavier.
“Hayward Xavier probably couldn’t imagine that he thought he saw through everything, but in fact, he was still used by you in the end.
I have to say, you played your cards quite well!”
As he spoke, Dean McKenzie looked at the little girl and pronounced her name word byword: “Bio! Od! Morgan!”
“Big brother, big brother, what are you saying, I can’t understand!”
“Are you really not understanding?
Or are you pretending to not understand?
Is it any use pretending at this point?
At first, I didn’t see it, I just thought you were attacking my weak spot by using a little girl and wanted to control me.
But after you started everything today, I realized there’s no need for it.
Once your plan started, it wouldn’t really matter whether I wanted to get involved, and you already have a weapon to control me, there’s no need to do more.
But I still didn’t understand why you gave me a little girl.
As Hayward Xavier gradually took control of the situation, I gradually realized what the true purpose of you giving me the little girl was.
You didn’t give me a little girl at all, you gave me yourself.
The last time I attacked you, you definitely discovered the existence of the Land of Bone. So you calculated to use my sympathy and send your true self to my Land of Bone.
Using your clone to ensnare Hayward Xavier, luring him into the trap, step by step.
I’m pretty sure the tool that could curse Douglas Murphy to death was prepared by you.
You knew their relationship from the very beginning.
You may have had the tool, but you lacked the conditions to use it. So, you cleverly gave it to Hayward Xavier, set him up to use it.
Because you understood him, you knew that he would surely kill Douglas Murphy once he thought he had the upper hand.
As long as Douglas Murphy dies, your objective would be achieved.
Next, you would come out when I send Doggy Two out to deal with the enemies and secretly kill Hayward Xavier and me, right?”
After Dean McKenzie finished speaking, the little girl who was just trembling with fear suddenly smiled: “I actually didn’t trick you?”
“You’re smarter than I thought!”
“I thought all the idiots cultivated by Anthony would be fooled for a while!”
Dean McKenzie was taken aback: “What did you say?”
The little girl, or rather Donald Morgan, grinned, taking out a piece of equipment from her bosom.
Seeing that equipment, Dean McKenzie’s eyes couldn’t help but widen in surprise.
He recognized it at a glance. The piece of equipment Donald Morgan took out was the Earth Ring, one of the two pieces of Silver Equipment previously given to Anthony.
Please give me a monthly ticket, I don’t have any reason to add more
