The Death List Novel - Chapter 387
Chapter 387 Backlash
No, I have to leave a survivor! Qin Lun’s gaze turned cold as he looked coldly at the Stealth Cultivator who was battling Elizabeth.
Qin Lun felt a little angry. He had never been in such a sorry state since he entered the Broken Star System.
Of course, there were many objective factors. In order not to reveal his identity as an apostle, he kept all his apostle equipment in his storage space. Because this stealer was too strong and fast, he didn’t even have any time to react.
When he was attacked just now, even if he was wearing sacrificial gloves, he wouldn’t have been so miserable.
After pondering for a moment, a cold light suddenly appeared in Qin Lun’s eyes. He took out an eyeball-shaped object from his storage space and stuck it to his right eye. This eyeball-shaped object was very similar to a human eye, but its pupils showed a clear and transparent crimson color, making it look strange and beautiful. This was the treasure Qin Lun had obtained from the Hunter’s World-the Scarlet Eye!
The moment the scarlet eye touched Qin Lun’s right eye, a refreshing aura pierced into his brain and accumulated behind his right eye socket. The scarlet eye in his hand gradually lost its luster and turned into ashes that fell from between his fingers.
“Try it!” Qin Lun tightly covered his left eye with one hand and opened his right eye with all his might. The silver dial of the Eye of the Clock suddenly protruded. However, the hand inside was slightly different from the ordinary hand of the clock. A fourth hand vaguely appeared at the core of the hand, forming a small cross with the previous three hands.
As soon as the cross appeared, it spun crazily clockwise like a small windmill, leaving behind circles of afterimages in the silver dial. The afterimages of the hands grew more and more dense. As they rapidly accumulated, the color of the silver dial grew darker and darker. In the end, it turned pitch black. The pupils of his right eye were like a resplendent black gem.
“Not enough, I’m still a little short!” Apart from Qin Lun’s pitch-black pupils, his entire eye was covered in dense bloodlines, and a line of blood and tears slowly flowed down from the corner of his eyes. At this moment, the refreshing aura formed by the scarlet eye finally moved. Under his command, it poured into the clock eye that had been activated to the extreme.
The pitch-black pupils finally underwent a qualitative change, and a hole the size of a pinhole appeared at the core. The small hole quickly caused the entire black pupils to collapse inwards, forming a pitch black and deep funnel-shaped vortex.
If someone outside could “see” Qin Lun’s perception, they could see countless strands of perception waving in front of the youth’s face. These perceptual threads took the right eye as the source point and quickly twisted into a straight spiral pipe like a rotating tentacle. It was like a steel cable wrapped in countless wires, but it was hollow inside.
“Skill requirements met. Create a core skill unit. Use the skill name as the unit name ‘Star Black Hole’.”
“Detect the surrounding combat environment and establish a single combat model …”
“Elemental fluctuations are weak, not enough to affect high-grade pupil skills …”
[Target is a high-agility creature, close to the limit of the Eye of the Clock’s perception. There is a certain chance that the skill will miss its target. It is recommended that the attack point be changed to the torso …]
[Attack point is target’s heart, elevation 3.2 degrees, range 32.7 meters, not out of range of skill attack range, attack after 0.7 seconds, skill fine-tuning …]
…
The stalker who was fighting Elistine in the distance suddenly felt a burst of fear. This feeling was exactly the same as when he was a child wandering alone in the wilderness, when he was being targeted by a hungry lone wolf. He still couldn’t forget the fatal threat that would tear his throat in the next moment.
Who is it? ! The Stealth Cultivator could barely resist Elistine’s bear claws. At the cost of a three-inch wound on his chest, he swept his gaze around. Then, he saw Qin Lun, who was sitting on the ground, covering his eyes with one hand and with silver bangs on his forehead.
Under the silver bangs, Qin Lun’s only exposed right eye was a dark and deep funnel whirlpool rapidly spinning in his pupils. At a glance, it seemed as if it could suck in other people’s minds, carrying an extremely strange and mysterious aura.
The Stealth Cultivator felt a chill in his heart. He had never seen such an ability before, but this did not prevent him from instinctively sensing a threat to his life.
“Heh!” The Stealth Cultivator shouted loudly, and the white light around him shrank, sending Elistine flying. Even the two bone arrows were blown awry. The two Fairy Rangers who cooperated with Elistine no longer had arrows.
Just as the stealer was about to jump up and avoid Qin Lun’s front, a sharp pain came from his chest. It was as if a huge steel drill was pressing against his chest and spinning counterclockwise, heading towards his heart.
Surprisingly, this power did not touch the white Dou Qi on the surface of the stealer at all. It seemed to penetrate through the cover of the Dou Qi and directly act on his body.
“Ao!” The Stealth Cultivator cried out in pain and jumped up like an electric shock. However, he could only avoid the vital parts of his heart in time. A funnel vortex the size of a bowl, pitch black as ink, that looked exactly like Qin Lun’s right eye appeared on his right shoulder.
The moment the black vortex appeared, the Stealth Cultivator couldn’t help but let out a miserable cry. His entire right shoulder, flesh, and bones were rotating and pulled into the vortex. His broken right arm shrank sharply and disappeared from the core of the vortex.
The black vortex had only appeared for a short period of time. In just an instant, the severely injured stealer’s right shoulder revealed a radial crack. The broken muscles and bones were twisted and exposed in the air, and fresh blood gushed out like a fountain. This high-level assassin’s face was ashen, and his expression was withered, as if he had instantly aged tens of years.
At the same time, Qin Lun, who had executed the Star Black Hole, fell on his back as if he had been heavily injured, and a blood arrow shot out from his right eye towards the sky.
…
“Big brother, big brother, where are you? Wuwuwu ~”
“What’s wrong, Little Mei? Eh, on your arm … did that old man hit you again? Damn it!”
“Big brother, I’m hungry. Are you hungry?”
“You … Xiao Mei, wait here for Big Brother for a while!”
…
“Brother, where did you get the candy …”
“It’s from the aunt of the convenience store. Is it delicious?”
“It’s delicious. Big brother, you eat it too! Eh, you’re injured … Wuwu, big brother, you lied to me. You stole the candy, didn’t you?”
…
“Xiao Mei, what are you doing? Quickly put down the dead mouse. This thing can’t be eaten. Don’t touch it in the future, understand?”
“Hehe, I know, brother!”
“What are you hiding in your hand? Show me the rat poison? You take the rat … Why do you have so many rat poison? Why do you have so many rat poison in your pocket?”
“Hehe, big brother, Xiao Mei is amazing, I saved it bit by bit!”
“Xiao Mei, what do you want?”
“Hehe, I won’t tell you!”
…
“Xiao Mei, don’t, don’t do that!” Qin Lun roared and sat up. He looked around blankly.
“Filar, are you awake?” Qin Lun heard a familiar and unfamiliar voice.
Qin Lun only felt his consciousness slowly return from an extremely distant place. His lax gaze gradually condensed and he stared at the slender figure in front of him.
“Elistine?” Qin Lun’s hoarse voice scared him and wiped the cold sweat off his face. He felt extremely tired. The right eye that had used the [Star Black Hole] was even blurry, as if its vision had been greatly affected. I’m afraid that it will take some time for it to be repaired by me.
“Haha, recognize me. Looks like my brain isn’t injured!” Elistine touched Qin Lun’s forehead and said with satisfaction.
The elven druid was still wearing a green raincoat, but the paint on her face had been wiped off by her, revealing a smile like a flower. “High Priest Menon said that you have used a high-level spell that you haven’t mastered yet. Your mind has been seriously injured, and I’m afraid it will damage your brain.
“However, Miss Nicole, the former head of your mercenary corps, advised us not to worry. After she treated you, she said that you would definitely recover. It seems that Elder Menon was wrong.”
Qin Lun smiled and did not reply. He knew that Elder Menon was right. If it weren’t for the Scarlet Eye’s pupil power supplementing it, recklessly using the Star Black Hole would indeed affect the apostle’s consciousness.
The requirement for the [Star Black Hole] was 50 points of Spirit Will. In fact, he hadn’t met either of the requirements for the [A] class clock eyes. The Eye of the Clock had reached A-rank with the help of the Moon Fairy’s ancient inheritance, but it was still a small step away. Originally, his Spiritual Will was satisfied with 50 points, but in order to conceal his identity as an apostle, he took off several pieces of equipment and lacked a few points in battle.
Most importantly, just like another [A +] class [Descending Tree Realm], other than the skill requirements on the surface, [Black Star Hole] also had a hidden requirement, requiring an extremely large amount of pupil power to support it.
The Moonlight Fairy bloodline had improved Qin Lun’s eyesight, but it wasn’t enough to support the Star Black Hole. That was why he suffered a major backlash afterwards. If it weren’t for the addition of the scarlet eye, his right eye would have been blind.
“Elistine, how long have I been unconscious? Is it night now? How is the battle outside?” Qin Lun, who had regained his senses, had already noticed where he was. He was currently lying in a tent with only the druid elves by his side.
“The battle ended two days ago. You were unconscious for two whole days and one night. Now it’s the night after that.” Elistine sighed, his expression somewhat gloomy. “The loss of our clansmen is very great. A total of more than 100 clansmen have returned to Afande. There are more than 200 injured, and about 200 clansmen have been kidnapped by the human thieves. The casualties are close to half of the migration team.”
At this point, Elistine gritted his teeth and said, “Actually, we can still redeem a portion of our abducted compatriots through the caravan, but the tribesmen who returned to the Fairy Kingdom will never return. They were basically killed by the orc cavalry’s ambush.”
“These despicable and shameless inferior creatures only managed to pierce through our team and directly flew away without turning around. Otherwise, the mages and elders would have already planned to join hands to cast a large range of high-grade elemental magic.”
“Where’s the stealer who ambushed me? Did you catch him?” Qin Lun closed his eyes, leaned back, and asked indifferently.
“Let him run! He used a secret technique to stimulate his potential after he was injured” Elistine said dejectedly. “However, there’s already a high-grade elven ranger chasing after him. I believe he won’t be able to escape very far.”
“It’s been two days … Elistine, so we’ve already crossed Lake Naga?”
“Yes, we can already see the Anke Forest. Grand Elder Adrienne informed them this afternoon that we will be able to meet up with the Anke Fairy Court’s escort team tomorrow morning!” Elistine forced a smile.
“That’s good!” Qin Lun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this news. After pondering for a while, he suddenly blinked his eyes and asked softly, “Elistine, how is the Japanese Fairy Envoy now?”
