Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 73: It’s just a knife
In fact, Su Lun had already found the black sickle lying in the sewage when he was waiting for the assassin to come.
Out of surprise, I looked at this legendary "forbidden object" with my omniscient eye, and suddenly felt something...
Well...how should I put it...
It just hurts.
Those who have heard of the name of this forbidden object only know that this sickle is extremely lethal and can destroy anything.
But no outsider has ever known that its curse properties are even stronger.
[Hypnos’ Black Scythe of Night]
Quality: Legend
Description: It is indestructible and cannot break anything, but be careful as it may cut off your head in your sleep;
Curse Characteristics: Using the scythe can create a long-range slash that splits the void, causing a 'cut in two' special effect on any substance whose legal level is not higher than the sharpness limit of the scythe itself; however, within one hour, the user's body will be affected by this attack. 80% of the damage caused by the slash will come back. Even if it is no longer around you, the blade will cut through the void and come quietly. The higher the frequency of use in a short period of time, the greater the cutting power and the shorter the backlash time;
Detailed explanation: A super-level cursed object created by the ancient alchemists using the rules of alchemy. This kind of item generally has some of the effects of an artifact, but it follows the law of equivalent exchange. The more powerful the cursed item, the stronger the negative effect; it can be used as a high-level career advancement material.
(Note: Artifact - Forbidden Item - Cursed Item - Ordinary Alchemy Item)
"Forbidden objects" are actually more powerful cursed objects.
Usually their curse characteristics are uncontrollable, so most of the time, those super-level curse objects will be banned to prevent the spilled curse characteristics from affecting other people or things around them.
When Su Lun saw the properties of this scythe, a sentence came to his mind immediately: Kill one thousand enemies and injure yourself eight hundred.
Obviously a super powerful weapon, with such a cursed characteristic, immediately turned into a "self-explosion bomb" that died with the enemy.
Now that he has lived in this world for a long time, he also has some understanding of the "curse characteristics".
It seems that because alchemists do not have faith in gods, they only rely on themselves and the power of natural substances, so some high-level law powers that exceed the user's current level of understanding cannot be used directly.
That's why the powerful alchemists in ancient times thought of using the law of equivalent exchange as a trick to forcefully activate these powerful forces.
Alchemists believe that "everything has a price", and the same applies to the use of power. If you use it beyond the level, you will have to endure the corresponding backlash.
After thinking about it, Su Lun thought it was quite reasonable.
Otherwise, why would you, a first-level professional, be able to casually create space cracks?
Even artifacts can only be used by strong people who have understood the high-level laws.
So, this black sickle is also the escape route he left for himself.
I don’t intend to “bet my life” with this thing unless I have to.
.......
Now that he suddenly encountered such a "lord-level" Spider Queen, who couldn't even hit an alchemy bullet, it was already a certain death situation for Su Lun. He didn't think he could deal with it in any way other than the black scythe.
But there is nothing to regret.
Anyway, as long as he is still thinking about this forbidden sickle, he will come to the sewer sooner or later.
As long as you come here, sooner or later you will be tricked by the Spider Queen.
Not knowing the situation in this cave before, Su Lun thought that he might be able to get the sickle when he was at the second level.
But looking at it now, even if he waits for the second level to come, he may be here to kill the Spider Queen.
Just like the second-level assassin before.
On the contrary, this time, someone helped me step out of the way, and the time, place and people were just right.
Let him get the sickle and a chance to gamble.
......
At this moment, Su Lun knew he was outmatched, so he decisively chose to gamble his life.
Hmm...why do you say again?
It seemed like it wasn't the first time, and he didn't think it was inappropriate.
Holding the black sickle in his hand, as soon as the dark spiritual power was injected into it, a layer of dancing will-o'-the-wisps instantly burned on the blade. Su Lun clearly felt a powerful force being controlled in his hands, as if he could tear the void apart with a single stroke of his sickle.
A sense of pride that looks down upon the world suddenly arises.
But even though he was the holder of this black scythe, the sharpness on the scythe's blade made him feel cold, as if it was a tiger that could devour its master, and it would bite him back if he was not careful. .
With the scythe in hand, Red-Eyed Sullun's whole aura suddenly became cold and terrifying, like a demon who had just walked out of the gate of hell. He tilted his head and looked at the scythe in his hand, licked his lips, and seemed to enjoy the feeling of controlling super power.
The hand has a weapon, but evil comes from courage.
At this moment, there was nothing in Su Lun's red eyes. He raised his head and stared at the Spider Queen not far away, grinning, "Hey..."
The spider lord who originally led the clan was glared at by this cold gaze, and instinctively felt the fatal crisis.
At this moment, Su Lun kicked the ground hard and rushed towards the Spider Queen!
Red light burst out from the Spider Emperor's eyes, but it did not stop his advance at all. Doubt appeared on that beautiful face for a moment, as if he was shocked why his mind control didn't work on this person. He was obviously much weaker than the human being he killed just now...
Looking at the black sickle again, fear gradually appeared on its face.
After all, it was weird. The Spider Emperor felt that the sickle was dangerous and instinctively refused to touch it. But it is weird after all, and it doesn't know what danger the sickle poses.
Red-Eyed Sullun is as fast as a cheetah, covering a distance of a hundred meters in just a few breaths. Facing the ghost-faced spiders that were surrounding him, he showed no fear, only a killing and killing madness on his face!
He was facing the overwhelming cobwebs and the cold flames on his body were even more intense than before. He had a sickle in one hand and a musket in the other. Rushing into a swarm of spiders is like being in a deserted place.
When she was still twenty or thirty meters away from the Spider King, the aberrant lord also felt the crisis. She spit out spider silk in front of her and stabbed the sharp spider spear forward. As long as the human rushed forward, When you come up, you will definitely get a few **** holes.
But it never expected that suddenly, Red-Eyed Sullun stopped.
A ferocious smile appeared on his face, and then he raised his hand and slashed with his sickle without hesitation!
At this moment, it seemed as if time had slowed down a hundred times.
The black scythe fell slowly, and the black fire on the scythe distorted the void and caused ripples. The blade vibrated at a high frequency, as if it had made a crack in God's canvas, and a hole appeared that allowed people to see the emptiness of the world.
The next second, an even weirder scene appeared.
Tens of meters away, the Spider King felt the crisis and wanted to block it with his spider spear. But suddenly, a void crack appeared near its neck. Without giving it any time to react, the crack disappeared in a flash, and a human head with a shocked face fell to the ground.
Green blood spurted out from the headless corpse of the Spider King, several meters high.
The Ghost Faced Spider King, whose defense could not be broken by alchemy bullets, was so easily chopped off by the black scythe.
One knife, just one knife.
The elite monsters and monsters on the side were completely panicked...
Seeing the lord being killed, these ghost-faced spiders, who were not very intelligent, lost their organization and instantly became a mess. Their survival instinct makes them feel that this place is dangerous, that human being is dangerous, and they want to escape. After a while of chaos, they headed towards the tunnels deep in the cave like a tide...
However, after a few breaths, spiders with broken legs and serious injuries appeared in the huge space, struggling among the piles of corpses. No intact spider was seen again.
.......
Using the power of the black scythe for the first time, Red-Eyed Sullun showed unsatisfied greed on his face.
He looked at the body of the Spider Queen and tilted his head, seemingly not enjoying himself.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned around to look at the only living person in this space besides him, Rena.
As if the evil wolf saw its prey, the murderous intent in his eyes became more intense.
"There is one more..."
Red-eyed Su Lun laughed strangely and was about to rush over, but at this moment he didn't know what happened. He suddenly held his head and showed an expression of extreme pain, and roared like a beast in his throat.
It was a kind of mania, as if someone had finally gained freedom, only to be forcibly dragged back and locked up.
Manic and rational, his face alternated between red and white.
As the potion continued to take effect, waves of coldness washed away his mania, and reason gradually gained the upper hand.
The red glow in Su Lun's eyes also quickly faded, and then the clarity returned.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
Suellen panted heavily, his chest rising and falling violently.
The whole person seemed to have just been fished out of the water, with sweat all over his back.
He rubbed his aching temples and his expression returned to normal, as if the hysterical struggle that had just appeared on him had not happened.
"The effect of the 'Advanced Tranquilizer' seems a bit forced... I think I will have to ask the mysterious pharmacist next time if he has any better products."
Muttering to himself, Su Lun turned around and looked at the headless body of the Spider Queen not far away.
Then he looked at Ms. Bait who was still alive.
He breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "Not bad, the timing is just right. The bait wasn't killed by that guy either..."
