The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 49: Annan’s Curse
[Sublimation ceremony completed]
【Class promotion——】
A large amount of data flow flashed before Anan's eyes.
The surrounding crimson ocean suddenly began to boil uneasily, with large bubbles popping up.
In the bottomless seabed, black mud suddenly began to gradually leak out. Tiny whispers and chuckles accompanied the melodious and weird music.
Finally, the mud hugged each other and slowly rose. A bright red light slowly shone in Annan's eyes.
Until it rose to the level of Annan's eyesight, the brilliance suddenly exploded. Just like a plane passing by at low altitude, there was a buzz in Annan's head, and his vision completely disappeared and became pitch black.
In the dark and lightless world, three light groups emerged.
They are an emerald eyeball, a kitchen knife stained with blood, and an abstract picture of a stab on the back.
At this moment, a new curtain of light also flashed before Annan’s eyes:
[Curse Manifested——]
[Eternally Lost Eye (permanent type): Your left eye will occasionally suffer severe pain, as if someone had dug it out with a knife. 】
[Note: After the interval between two pains exceeds three days, the duration of pain will gradually increase. The maximum duration of pain will not exceed 12.4 seconds, and the minimum duration will not be less than 2.4 seconds. 】
[Butcher's Blade (dissolving type): You must use a kitchen knife to kill one person every month. 】
[Note: Cause at least 10% of the total damage. The cleaver must have cooked human food normally within the day before the ceremony. 】
[Backstab Oath (forbidden type): You cannot sneak attack from behind and kill those who trust you. 】
[Note: "Trust" means that the other person did not think that you would kill him at the moment he was attacked by you, and the two of you knew each other's existence. 】
The contents of the three curses were written very clearly and were placed in front of Annan by the system.
But completely opposite to the clearly written negative effects, there is no description at all about the power you will get by choosing each spell.
"Three types of curses..."
Annan murmured.
In fact, at least as far as the bronze-level curses are concerned, there is nothing too harsh.
Except for the first curse, which is too deadly and can easily hold you back at critical moments, the remaining two are actually optional.
The second one is very simple. It is basically equivalent to killing one person every month. It can be said that there is almost no difficulty.
After all, Annan has a special identity. It is not difficult to execute a death row prisoner in a month. Even if there is really no one to kill, Annan can also issue a task to the players and ask them to choose someone to die for once.
So what if you die and lose a level or two?
Annan directly compensated him with experience that can upgrade him to level three or even level four, and also gave him 500 personal favorability points. Isn't this nice?
When the time comes, I’m afraid the players who come to give away their lives will definitely be the gongs, drums, firecrackers, red flags, and huge crowds of people.
As for the third curse, it is not difficult to avoid it.
Although this cannot be betrayed, it is a bit difficult for Annan... With Annan's way of doing things, it is easy to violate this rule.
But fortunately, this curse's requirements for "backstab" are still very relaxed. The so-called "the other party did not think that you would kill him at the moment when you attacked him"...that is to say, as long as you declare that you want to kill him before betraying him; or you do not kill the other party after backstabbing but subdue him, you will be fine. You can avoid this one.
However, Annan thought about it and chose the second option.
Not because of anything else.
Just to pave the way for the next promotion.
After all, although the third article seems to have little impact now...but in the subsequent advancements, you may get new curses at each advancement. There's a good chance they'll hinder each other, further limiting Annan's ability to backstab.
The most important thing about the curse is keeping it secret.
It's best if no one knows about your spell except the Keeper...or if they know, they can't break it.
So, once Annan starts to act with restraint, as long as there is a smart person among his enemies, after they investigate Annan's behavior pattern, they will easily guess what his curse is.
On the contrary, it is a resolving type of curse. Although it seems to be mandatory, it is actually the best way to solve it. It is also least likely to conflict with other spells.
So...
As Annan's heart moved, the blood-stained bubble began to expand rapidly, quickly engulfing the other two bubbles. The content gradually turned turbid red, then slowly turned black, and turned into a small bubble again. of black sludge.
Then, the sludge flew over and stuck to Annan's right forearm, and began to flow slowly... as if something was carved on the skin of the arm.
Wherever it flows, there is a corrosive pain. And left a pure black scar visible to the naked eye.
The color is like the skin is naturally cracked, and the inside is void... without a trace of blood, it is dim and deep.
The shape of the scar is like an abstract broken sword or a twisted circuit.
And new words flowed before Annan's eyes again:
[Butcher's Blade: Attached to an edged weapon (the blade cannot be longer than 1.5 meters), no maintenance cost, cooling time of 30 minutes after contact]
[When attacking edible creatures (meaning that they will not die after being eaten), if an attack does hit and cause damage, and is not blocked, parried or tilted on the way, then when attacking the target repeatedly, the weapon will 's sharpness and hardness are treated as temporarily doubled. 】
[This effect can be infinitely stacked and has a built-in cooldown of 2.4 seconds. After stacking two layers of effects on other enemies, other blessing effects will return to zero. 】
…seems pretty good.
Annan's eyes lit up.
This is a very practical ability. ~IndoMTL.com~This ability can be simply described as...
...A flesh-and-blood unit special attack version of the Black Slicer?
For most enemies, as long as Annan's weapon damages the enemy once, the sharpness and hardness of his weapon will begin to increase rapidly. As long as he can bypass the opponent's weapon or shield and hit the opponent once or twice, he will become significantly stronger.
Until his weapon is strengthened to the point where he can cut off the enemy's weapon and cut off the enemy's shield with one sword.
This means that even if Annan holds two kitchen knives, after a few rounds of fighting, he can use Blade Storm to smash the enemy's weapons and armor into pieces.
However, it seems that this is not suitable for that kind of swordsmanship.
It is somewhat suitable for the kind of light and flexible technical fencing.
The shortcomings of a thin sword or a bayonet that are too fragile can be completely compensated by this weapon. As long as Annan can quickly injure the enemy several times, he can strengthen his weapon to an astonishing degree - even directly penetrate the shield or armor and kill the enemy directly.
The first thing Annan thought of was his frost sword skill.
The triggering condition for this ability is "causing damage", not necessarily "bleeding". And the sword energy fired by Frost Sword Technique cannot be blocked or deflected...
So if Annan starts to slash with Frost Sword Skill, will he be able to stably trigger a layer of buff?
The only drawback is that except for the main target, which can be stacked infinitely, others can only be stacked one layer at most.
This will no longer be a monkey, which is a pity...
After being branded by the black mud, Annan lost consciousness again.
When he woke up, he had returned to the frozen water port in the real world.
