Chapter 496 Game
This is a confrontation between calculation and counter-calculation, a game of trap and counter-trap.
This is a life-threatening gamble.
The attackers laid the most dangerous and hidden trap for the three Lynches.
How to set up traps so that they are most likely to be baited?
Of course one way is to set it up so that no one can see it, but no matter how hidden the visual effect is, as long as the target is careful enough, the trap may still be discovered.
Therefore, the really effective trap is to make people let down their guard. In other words, just when you think there should be a trap here, there really is a well-hidden trap here. So when you proudly think that the trap has been cleverly discovered as expected, the real trap has already appeared behind your back.
Yes, effective traps are not set visually, but in people's hearts.
This is exactly what the attacker did. He dropped the attacker into the most accurate place at the most precise time, and displayed a textbook psychological trap skill in a matter of seconds.
Attacking the target unprepared and dropping the attacker next to the target from a distance is the first psychological trap.
Using three cannon fodder to paralyze the target's alertness, using one strong person to attract everyone's attention, and creating sufficient space for another strong person to attack, this is the second psychological trap.
Once the target is mentally prepared to escape from the killing situation to a safe area, thinking that this is all a trap, the real trap will quietly come.
[Power: Shadow, Ability: Shadow Escape]
The attacker can use the ability to emerge directly from the target's shadow and launch a fatal blow. This in itself is an extremely dangerous assassination ability. Coupled with the foreshadowing, the targeted target is almost certain to die.
But they were up against Sir Lynch Levief.
As an otaku, Lynch didn't understand these conspiracies, but he did not hesitate to be wary of the insidious enemy of the League of Shadows at all times, so he decided to take a gamble at the beginning. Since he didn't know what the other party could do, he might as well just take a gamble. Take out all your cards and go all-in.
The trump card includes the most disgusting thing, the Hound of Tindalos. When he realized that the enemy had launched an attack, he began to recite the incantation and did not stop no matter how urgent the situation was. Finally, at the last moment, he gave the attacker a surprise.
The ups and downs of life only take one second.
The sudden change caused the attacker's expression to change drastically, and he subconsciously took a step back.
In this step, the blue smoke had taken shape, and several strange hounds emerged from the sharp angle of the attacker's dagger. As soon as they took shape, their cold eyes were fixed on the attacker. Apparently, the victim dog he killed had marked him, and the same victim dog from another time came to take revenge.
The attacker cursed angrily and swung out his dagger. The powerful force easily defeated the formed hound. However, as he swung the dagger, more mist masses emerged from around him.
The attacker screamed and fled into the shadows. When he reappeared, he was already at the living room window, passed through the window and landed in the courtyard.
The servants coming and going were dumbfounded as a stranger jumped out of the window. Before they could react, they saw a few familiar blue mist emerging from the pruning shears on the side, chasing after them in the distance. The escaping attacker rushed out of the mansion.
Lynch breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the attacker panicked in the end and wasted the last opportunity.
At this time, he has exhausted all his cards, and the attacker can kill him with just one more blow. Although he can escape death by relying on the stand-in puppet, the light of miracle will inevitably be snatched away by the opponent. Although this does not help the opponent's situation, it can at least help the opponent to have a back-up before death and complete the task.
But the other party obviously had no experience of being chased by dogs, so he made the wrong choice and chose to escape immediately. This made Lynch smile. It doesn't matter if you are inexperienced. You will soon accumulate a wealth of experience. As long as you can surpass the gods before you die, you may have a chance to start all over again.
Just as the smile appeared, there was another roar in his ears.
Another assailant who controlled the cold saw that something was wrong and immediately chose to evacuate. His power suddenly burst out and forced back Ms. Skye Milt who was entangled by him. Then the three of them in Lynch Before rushing over, he followed his friend through the window and rushed into the courtyard.
Ms. Skye was stunned and immediately chased her out. As soon as she arrived in the courtyard, she found that Lynch and three others had followed him out.
You stepped on your head and still want to run?
In the courtyard, the assassin had already gone away, being chased by a group of hounds. The other attacker was fleeing out of the courtyard. The power that sent them in seemed to have failed at this time. He could not stay where he was when he came. Disappeared and could only escape with his legs.
Seeing that he had already run a long way and was not far away from the courtyard wall, Lin Qi knew that he could not catch up. He was unwilling to shoot three consecutive rounds of death coil at the opponent's back. Unfortunately, the opponent was already beyond the target. Within the range, the green skeleton escaped halfway through the flight.
Damn it, he ran away, what if... huh?
While secretly hating himself, Lin Qi suddenly felt that something was wrong, and seemed to see something strange out of the corner of his eye.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a person floating above several people, looking down at them.
It was a man in his thirties, with handsome appearance and an aristocratic temperament, but he was naked and smiling at the people below.
The smile was elegant and kind, but some parts were a bit eye-catching. Before the three of them could react, the man raised his head and pointed at the back of the fleeing attacker.
“Prosperity will eventually come to an end, life will eventually wither, and at the end of the passage of time, everything will become dust.”
In the soft chanting, the attacker he pointed at seemed to have no idea what was happening behind him and was still running forward.
In the first step, the body gradually stooped between steps, and the blond hair turned gray in an instant.
In the second step, the body quickly shriveled up, and the clothes carried by the wind wrapped around the body, revealing that the body was already like a skeleton.
The third step, as soon as the steps were taken, the body fell to the ground as if falling apart. Then the clothes became tattered and old at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually turned into a puff of dust together with the body under the clothes.
[Power: Time, Ability: Years]
The man smiled at Lin Qi again, but the next moment, countless blue smoke sprayed out from all over the yard, Covering almost the entire courtyard.
So the next moment, the man with a stiff smile suddenly disappeared into the air, just as abruptly as when he appeared, and the gathering blue mist seemed to have lost its target and dissipated into the air again.
Only Lynch and the three people were left stunned looking at the corpse that turned into ashes, as if they had just experienced an unreal dream.
The trump card is revealed, and the outcome is decided.
The gamble has finally come to an end.
