The King is Dead!

Some of the collapsed fishmen took the opportunity to escape towards the surrounding passages.

Luther's goal is to eliminate all these fishmen.

So at this moment, he decided to take real action.

Hand-to-hand combat is not his strong point.

His strongest skill at the moment is still sword.

From the previous battle, he had figured out the Murloc's attack pattern and also found some weaknesses that it had not noticed.

He was confident that he could easily resolve the battle using the dagger.

After devouring a blue-skinned murloc, Zagga is back to form.

It wiped the corners of its mouth and walked towards Luther again.

"Human, you have earned my approval."

"But you want to defeat me, that's impossible."

"Here, I have endless supplies!"

The shouts of the fishmen in front of them made the already collapsed fishmen even more at a loss.

They had been fleeing cautiously before, but now, after hearing the words of their king, they no longer cared about anything else.

He started running as fast as he could.

"You bunch of idiots, is it any use running away now?"

"Stay here and help me kill this human. Otherwise, all that awaits you is death!"

Zagga roared as he looked at his collapsed tribesmen.

These guys are even dumber and weaker than those ugly ghouls.

After hearing what Zagga said, most of the fishmen stopped.

They rolled their eyes and thought carefully, and it seemed to be true.

His escape only temporarily saved him from being killed by this human.

But as long as the king dies, what awaits them will eventually be death.

After figuring out all this, the fishmen turned around and gathered towards Zagga again.

"Very well, you idiots, stay here and don't move!"

"Follow my orders!"

Zagga flicked his tail and attacked Luther the next second.

From beginning to end, Luther watched all this silently and recovered his strength silently.

The current situation is already the best.

While dodging the attack sideways, Luther began to count in his mind the number of times the Murloc in front of him attacked him.

After ten times, every time it attacks at an odd number, it will expose the soft spot in its lower left waist.

Luther's dagger will also be pointed in that direction.

And after twenty times, every time it attacks at an even number, it will expose its weak spot at the tail or upper right waist.

As the wounds on his body continued to increase, Zagga realized that something was wrong.

Every time the human in front of him draws his sword, it will leave a wound on his body.

It vaguely sensed an inexplicable rhythm from this person.

Its ears moved, and it faintly heard the human mumbling something.

"He must have cast some spell!"

"right!"

"This must be his spell!"

In order to be able to hear the human's spell clearly, this time, when facing the stabbing dagger, Zagga gave up turning around and swinging his tail, and instead used his body to block Luther's sword.

It also finally understood the mantra from his mouth: "Odds change but evens don't. The sign depends on the quadrant."

"Odd changes but even does not change, the sign depends on the quadrant?"

"Is the effect of this spell guaranteed to be successful?"

Zagga muttered to himself, glanced at Luther, and suddenly retreated backwards.

Then he twisted his mouth and yelled in front of Luther's surprised gaze:

"Odds change but evens don't. The sign depends on the quadrant!"

Luther narrowed his eyes and looked at the Murloc not far away, his eyes flickering.

He was a little scared. Could this Murloc also be a traveler?

Zagga looked at the human's performance and a look of victory appeared on his face.

"Hehe, little bug, now I also have a guaranteed hit effect!"

"Look at your surprised expression. You definitely didn't expect that I could speak Venn so fluently!"

The two sides started fighting again.

This time, facing the murloc who attacked in the same way again, Luther chose to dodge.

And tentatively, he uttered a word.

"Nothing special."

"Oh, didn't he hear it?"

For the first time, Luther thought that he didn't hear it. If it was really a time traveler, it should be able to pick up the code that followed.

He dodged the Murloc's uppercut by leaning sideways.

After it roared again, "Odds change, evens remain unchanged, the sign depends on the quadrant."

Said another sentence.

"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers!"

Then he ducked, dodged its tail swing, and stepped aside.

It should have heard it, and if it really was, it would have continued what I was saying.

only.

The Murloc's reaction was bound to disappoint Luther.

It growled and pounced towards Luther in an angry manner.

Luther shook his head. It was obvious that he was overthinking it.

What it just said was most likely just imitating others.

And I recite that sentence to myself just to make counting easier.

I guess it learned that sentence as something special.

Luther recalled its excited expression at that time and was speechless.

Am I really overthinking it?

Are all murlocs stupid?

Holding the dagger, he rushed towards the murloc again.

Zagga was angry. It was very likely that he had been fooled by the human in front of him!

What it just said was totally useless!

He was playing tricks on me on purpose, his purpose must be to make himself look bad in front of his tribe members!

Facing the dagger stabbed at him by the human.

This time, the angry Zagga chose to hammer.

Luther looked at the Murloc's movements, his eyes lit up, the opportunity had come.

"You are such an idiot!"

While saying this in his heart, he thrust out two swords in a feint forward, and sure enough, the Murloc was fooled.

It hammered down on its own deliberately exposed body.

Luther dodged its attack with a simple donkey roll and stood up.

Before the Murloc could stand up, he kicked it in the direction of its body.

The kick, powerful enough to crush rocks, hit the softest part of the Murloc's body.

Suddenly, there was a sound like a watermelon popping.

"You idiots! Are you going to watch me die?!"

"Now, immediately, come at me!"

"He has been injured by me. If you all come together, we can definitely kill him!"

"Otherwise, what awaits us will be death!"

Zagga, who was lying on the ground, endured the severe pain in his lower body and grabbed the last bit of clarity of consciousness and shouted loudly.

Luther calmly looked at the murlocs rushing towards him.

He squatted down and chopped off the head of the Murloc lying under him with one sword.

When he stood up, he received another system prompt.

From just now until now, the system has been refreshing the screen for a long time, but he subconsciously blocked them.

Of course, he won't go to see it for the time being.

We have to get rid of these ordinary fishmen first.

Putting the dagger back into the scabbard at his waist, Luther glanced at the murlocs present with an expressionless face, and walked towards the two murlocs closest to him.

"The king is dead!"

"He-he killed the king!"

"We'll all be killed!"

"Run away!"

"I can't move my body anymore!!"

As Luther easily killed two blue-skinned murlocs, the murlocs present finally came to their senses.

They wanted to escape, but their bodies were frozen with fear and they couldn't move.

Death comes.

Despair filled their hearts.
