The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 83: Don’t say too much

"Well——"

Justin suddenly felt a chill that oozed from his skin.

As if suffering from a severe cold, his body began to tremble subconsciously.

A sharp pain spread from the outside of the left calf to the knee...

Justin knew this feeling all too well.

This is exactly the characteristic of the profession "Curse Hunter".

Only those who have taken a special potion and smeared a lethal ointment on their body without being disfigured can obtain this characteristic... which is the prerequisite characteristic for changing the profession of Cursed Hunter, [Curse Sensitivity] skin】.

Just by being close to an extraordinary person, there will be a faint tingling sensation on the corresponding body surface; when being bound by an inconspicuous spell or becoming the target of a ritual, you can feel pain immediately.

After long-term training, they will gain a new sense.

Through this new sense of touch, you can touch the curse, feel the curse... and hunt the curse.

That's why they are called "cursed hunters".

The moment he felt the pain, Justin wanted to fight back.

He subconsciously kicked out the painful left leg.

At this moment, he just realized——

——This seems to be exactly where Annan is.

Did Annan attack him?

Because of his good impression of Annan, Justin subconsciously withdrew his strength.

But the moment Justin reacted, he felt a little regretful.

No, just collecting three points of force is not enough!

He kicked an underage wizard in the face with almost full force from this angle. It was completely powerful and heavy. If you kick Annan in the chin or the back of the head, it is possible to kill him directly...

He is just a commoner, but he is completely unable to withstand the wrath of the Duke of Winter!

And he has just realized now that what Annan suddenly imposed on himself was not a fatal curse.

There is indeed only pure malice in the curse, which means that it will only have negative effects on itself. But this malice only gave him a chill, not even a burning pain.

This means that its curse concentration is not high...

——Crack.

Something unexpected.

Annan did not step back, but stretched out his hand to firmly block Justin's fierce kick, and calmly received the powerful counterattack that Justin originally thought he could no longer control.

But this made Justin's heart sink.

The fourteen-year-old wizard...

Even if he is from the Principality of Winter.

Can he really take his own casual blow?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

Justin's full-force kick was enough to knock out an adult's head and half of his spine.

The reason why extraordinary people are called extraordinary people... is because they have surpassed the level of ordinary people.

Justin can knock down a solid tree that is thicker than an adult man's waist; even if the doors of various rooms in the Viscount's mansion are locked, he can knock them down with just a bump with his shoulder. open.

Since Annan can block his attack without breaking any bones, it means that he must still have a bronze level fighting profession!

"...Brother Justin, why did you suddenly attack me?"

But it was different from what Justin had guessed.

After Annan blocked Justin's counterattack, he backed away without warning.

He just looked up at Justin with confusion on his face, and his eyes were very dissatisfied: "If it wasn't me standing here... I'm afraid something would have happened, right?"

Looking at Annan's expression, Justin couldn't help but hesitate.

...Could it be that I really misunderstood?

Impossible. My feeling is obviously very accurate...

——But everything is the same as Annan analyzed. Based on Justin's character, when facing Annan Coldong, who was much higher than himself, he still hesitated with his clenched fists.

He subconsciously wanted to apologize, but cautiously turned around and squatted down.

At this distance, his hand can directly reach Annan. You won't be so passive when being attacked.

"Sorry, maybe it was me..."

Justin hasn’t finished speaking this time.

Annan's right arm was swinging, and a sudden punch was thrown at the knee socket on the inside of Justin's leg——

It was only then that Justin finally saw the hammer hidden in Annan's hand.

It was a small, slender, white hammer that looked a bit funny.

It's almost like a toy. I'm afraid it would be difficult to even hammer a nail in... It's more like a hammer used to extract teeth, only slightly larger.

Can this thing really hurt someone?

Although such thoughts flashed through my mind.

But after Justin confirmed that Annan was indeed an enemy, the hesitation of not knowing whether to advance or retreat immediately subsided.

Instead, it is his combat experience of successfully hunting down many extraordinary beings——

Almost instinctively, his left hand tried to intercept Annan's hammer.

The right hand went straight towards Annan's slender neck. His knees were bent and his abdominal muscles were tense. His whole body was like a hunched leopard ready to pounce, intending to directly use his strength to clasp Annan's neck and pounce on him. Fall to the ground!

——But something completely unexpected by Justin happened.

His left hand, which wanted to intercept Annan's attack, seemed vulnerable in front of the toy-like hammer.

Only because of the huge power that the bearer of the hammer cannot resist——

It easily defeated Justin's power. There was a crunching sound from his wrist, and without delaying the hammer's attack for a second, his entire wrist was hammered toward Justin's leg!

However, the force of the attack on the leg socket was far less powerful than the force that directly broke Justin's wrist.

That is very normal. The force of a full blow from a mortal swordsman... It is completely impossible for this force to directly break Justin's wrist!

Justin immediately realized what kind of spell had been placed on him——

——Exactly "no words"!

Its properties are subtly different from what Salvatore told him. But roughly the same.

It was after seeing its properties that Annan made a temporary plan for tonight——

【Skeleton Man's Bone and Blood Trigger】

[Type: Tools/Ritual Props (Gold)]

[Description: You can use "Heart Paralysis LV34", "Forgotten Secret Words LV28", "I'm Not Here LV1", "No More Words LV8", "Claustrophobia LV1", and "Book Page Lock LV14" once a day. , it must be hit with a hammer to a part with bones to take effect correctly. Each person will be cursed up to three times a day]

[Effect: If the bone is struck~IndoMTL.com~ the curse will always linger on the person, and the curse will return and be strengthened after he dies. The enhanced curse level is equal to the total extraordinary level of the cursed person; if the curse does not return within 24 hours, a new curse will be obtained, and the curse that has been applied before cannot return]

[Effect: If the bone is not struck, the use is deemed to have failed. The curse will remain on the struck object for one month. The curse will no longer be regenerated during the cycle]

[Cost: Each time you use it, you need to consume the "bone" and "blood" of a different human being, and it must be used once a week, otherwise the holder will be randomly imposed with three kinds of curses. The level of the curse depends on the level of the curse. It is the currently stored curse level; humans used as materials will have their lifespan reduced by one year]

There is only one difference from what Salvatore said...

That is, Salvatore failed to mention that the weapon was actually a "killing hammer."

If the cursed person is killed within twenty-four hours, the curse's saving throw difficulty will continue to increase. Until a certain curse is released and there is no return within one day, the level will be cleared.

Of course, based on Annan’s judgment of Salvatore, it was not Salvatore who deliberately kept it from Annan. But he himself doesn’t know what its specific abilities are...

But when he confirmed that "No More Words" could be used, the reason why he did not use it on Viscount Barbour was to use the curse that could only be used once today to fight Justin. when!

The instant-death ability of cardiac paralysis may not be effective for extraordinary people who are also at the bronze level.

But don’t say too much about the differences...

Just to break his defense...it can be done, right? !
