This is Catherine's third death. Due to the game settings, the resurrection time will increase with the number of deaths. This time her resurrection time is half an hour.
Catherine remained conscious as she continued to sink into the quagmire of nightmare.
Recalling how she was killed instantly because of her excessive impulsiveness and recklessness, she did not get angry or crazy like she did the previous two times she died in battle, and she even caused turbulence in part of the nightmare space.
She seemed very quiet this time.
She hugged her knees and immersed herself in the depths of the nightmare, quietly waiting for rebirth, with even a hint of a smile on her black lips.
“Haha… I actually made such a mistake. If the boss knew about it, I would definitely be demoted to an apprentice clown, and I might even have to re-evaluate my membership.
Is it true that the long vacation has made me physically lazy? Or have I been in the circus for too long and become too proud and conceited
This death is great. It finally allows me to calm down and think slowly about my own shortcomings and stupidity. It's time to show my true ability~ Catherine. "
When the resurrection is complete and the egg blooms like a flower,
Catherine took out the treasure chest calmly and reached out to search for the things that were pressed at the bottom and had not been used for a long time.
It was during her search that she suddenly noticed a problem:
"Huh? My resurrection time is half an hour... Why hasn't William died yet?"
…
Half an hour ago.
Catherine's physical death directly caused a long period of 'rain'.
Impurities, mainly hair, teeth, and minced meat, mixed in with the raindrops, continued to fall.
Wearing a faceless mask and restricted in his freedom, Yi Chen stood on the playground. His body was trembling slightly due to the stimulation of the two emotions of excitement and fear, but he soon stabilized through the whole body's brain control.
Not far away,
Zed retracted his right hand and turned his arm 360 degrees back to its original position.
Even though Yi Chen was in a restricted state, he could still see the mountain-like aura of corpses behind Zed.
Cold sweat slid down my cheeks and I swallowed my saliva.
"If I make any mistakes, the teacher will catch them. If I want to fight him head-on, I must do it as perfectly as possible without making any mistakes."
At this moment, it was as if an extremely difficult Olympiad test paper was placed in front of Yi Chen, which had to be completed fluently within the limited time and with full marks.
There was no time to prepare.
In the playground... Buzz! Yi Chen caught a resonant noise.
The sound comes from Zed's ankle. Through the high fibrosis of the ligament structures and muscle compression at the ankle joint, as well as the bearing drive of the bones, an ultra-fast movement without obvious movement is achieved.
Although it seems that he is standing still, he can actually get close to the opponent in an instant and kill him by surprise.
Zed called this technique "Instant"
Zed had taught Yi Chen this move many times in Paradise.
At first, Yi Chen fell to the ground when he tried to use it. His ankle was dislocated and swollen as big as a carrot. There was even one time when a bone exploded and pierced his ankle.
Until now, Yi Chen can barely use it, but he can only achieve "instant" effect within a range of five meters.
current,
The distance between the two sides of the playground where the black rain fell was a full hundred meters.
Buzz~ As Yi Chen heard the strange ankle sound, Zed had already come close to him and swung out a palm.
Because Yi Chen knew this move in advance, all the brain nerves in his body reacted super quickly, and he immediately moved his body to dodge sideways...
Buzz! Zed swung his palm strike but Yi Chen dodged it and the strike completely missed.
Perfect Dodge
At the moment, Yi Chen was right next to Zed, the best attacking position.
Thanks to the perfect dodge, Yi Chen could even vaguely see the "slaughter line" at the back of Zed's neck.
Without hesitation!
The pitch-black substance spread across the skin of the palm, and a hand knife slashed down along Mo Hu's "slaughter line".
Perfect dodge → capture the killing line → kill with a knife
It was smooth and without any hesitation. Theoretically, it was impossible to dodge... Yi Chen could even imagine the scene of Teacher Zed being beheaded by him.
Swish! Beheading completed.
What!
Looking closely, I realized that what was cut off was just a vague outline.
Zed lowered his body just before being beheaded, dodging with the same perfect dodge... Yi Chen didn't have time to make any further moves before he felt something being swung at him from the side.
Systemic epilepsy quickly began to adjust the body, preparing to withstand the upcoming unknown blow.
A high sweep came from the side.
Zed leaned forward with one hand on the ground, raised his waist, twisted his back and swung his legs, all in one go! It's a bit like the Brazilian war dance in real life.
The high sweep hit Yi Chen's side.
Even if the body is ready to withstand the blow, the moment it is kicked... the entire physical system instantly sounds a red alarm, and the entire body further adjusts to try to unload the force and minimize the damage.
Yi Chen flew out in a spiral shape, crashed into the school building and disappeared.
On the playground,
Zed stood up again. He did not chase after him, as if waiting for the other party to come back on his own initiative.
Sure enough, a black shadow jumped out from the broken teaching building. Although his entire arm was kicked into a bloody mess, the rest of his body did not suffer serious injuries.
When Yi Chen stood back on the playground,
Zed suddenly began to speak:
"You should rarely engage in such pure "physical combat", and all kinds of movements seem exaggerated.
Before you make any movement, I only need to observe your muscle pulsation, the direction of subcutaneous fibers and blood confluence area to determine your next movement or even a series of subsequent continuous behaviors.
Except for the 'receiving' just now, the rest were not up to standard.
Since you are willing to give up your nightmare characteristics and fight with your pure body, I will play with you for a while longer."
Yi Chen felt a little strange after hearing these words. He felt as if he had been exposed, but the last sentence did not sound like he had been exposed.
Huh~ Yi Chen took a deep breath
He followed his teacher's advice and tried to make his actions less obvious.
He takes a quick step forward and slightly lifts his leg, pretending to deliver a mid-section kick, but actually delivers a straight punch to the face.
Swish! Still missed.
As his fist missed, Zed struck Yi Chen on the chin with his palm.
He was knocked flying more than 30 meters high, his entire jaw was shattered, and he fell headfirst on the playground.
"Too deliberate... Come again."
Regenerating with the power of the nightmare, Yi Chen adjusted his posture and continued to move forward.
The situation remained the same. He had just made two moves when he was kicked in the side. His body slid along the muddy playground for more than a hundred meters before finally stopping. His entire body was rubbed off.
"That's a bit of progress... Let's do it again."
Before he knew it, Yi Chen had already put on his "dead man's makeup".
No matter how badly he was beaten, he could always get up and return to Zed to continue fighting.
And make sure to do better each time, and make sure every punch, hand knife, kick or leg you swing is strong and powerful.
Yi Chen could feel that his body seemed to be learning, which was something that had never happened before.
The whole brain covered by systemic epilepsy makes the body have the same learning ability as the brain, and it keeps learning the advanced fighting skills shown and taught by Zed.
At the same time, I slowly read, recorded, appreciated and learned from Zed's perfect body.
The movements are no longer redundant, and the moves are more powerful.
He was even able to occasionally deceive Zed's physical perception and fight for a longer period of time... This state lasted for a full half an hour.
Eventually, because all the energy was exhausted, the dead makeup was passively removed.
He fell to the ground and his head was crushed by someone stepping on him.
Zed stared at the corpse slowly turning into inky liquid at his feet, muttering, "Not bad, you're learning pretty fast."
