Naturally, Frank didn't know what Natha was thinking. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually under enormous pressure.
Just like the majority of the kidnappers who confronted the police, when they used "hostages" to threaten the police, it was often because they believed that they were at an absolute disadvantage and could only rely on this method to escape.
To tell the truth, Frank, who had almost exhausted all his magic power, was already in despair. He stared at the guy in front of him whose body was still emitting a faint white mist. He felt that his legs were going to cramp again and again … One had to know that the last time he used this skill, he had directly killed three "Rose Cross" high ranking priests!
Defensive measures like "Holy Shield" were simply not enough in front of the "Shadow Flames". After the flames burned out, only a small pile of black ashes remained from the opponent's corpse. There wasn't even the slightest bit of resistance.
He had never thought that someone would be able to forcefully resist the burning of the "Shadow Flames" with just their physical body. Therefore, when such a fact appeared in front of him, an unprecedented fear spread, causing him to not hold any hope of killing Roddy.
The guy in front of him was completely an unkillable demon!
"Retreat! All of you retreat! "
Frank exerted the last of his magic power to control the shadow chains and directly put Natha in front of him. At the same time, he retreated 3-4 steps and stood by the river. He instinctively didn't want Roddy to get close to him.
Regarding his request, Roddy unhesitatingly expressed his cooperation and slowly retreated 2-3 meters.
At this time, the two people who were 4 meters apart were once again pulled to a "safe distance" of 7 meters.
"Put her down. If you have any requests, we can discuss it." Although Roddy said some nonsense that no one would believe, his face revealed an extremely fearful expression. Frank couldn't help but look at Natha whose face had turned purple because of the comfortable chains. A thought suddenly emerged in his mind: Could it be that this elf is the opponent's exclusive property?
The more he looked, the more he felt that this was the case. He simply shouted: "If you don't want your woman to die, then don't talk about any conditions with me!"
"Don't threaten me like this. If anything happens to her, you will die without a doubt."
Roddy's face immediately showed an undisguised hostility. His anger directly proved Frank's guess.
Natha, who was restrained at the side, trembled slightly at this moment. She looked at Roddy with an indescribable emotion.
Frank was proud of himself. He opened his mouth to propose more conditions, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Roddy, "Are you the bishop of the Viper Cross?"
Flack's expression froze, his mouth agape. He didn't know how to reply for a moment. He didn't have any signs on him that could reveal his identity, and the Viper Cross didn't seem to have any followers in the Afta territory. It could even be said that not many people knew. How could the other party so accurately determine his identity?
Naturally, he didn't know that in the eyes of a "veteran player" like Roddy, after combining the identity of a "shadow priest" and the scepter that carried the meaning of a clergy, he could basically determine that the other party belonged to the Viper Cross, and his position was not low.
Without waiting for Flack to think of a response, Roddy directly dropped a "heavy bomb". He looked straight into Flack's eyes and said in a deep voice: "'Snake Fang' Gallup, I killed him."
"What!?"
Flack's breath stopped, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of the other party's words. With the strength that Roddy had shown, killing Gallup was really not a difficult task … Most importantly, he knew that Gallup was killed by an arrow, and the archery that the guy in front of him had just displayed definitely had such an ability!
His brain was in shock, and he had no idea that the "situation" had already unknowingly fallen into Roddy's control.
Roddy glanced at Natha imperceptibly. Flack's restraint had left her on the verge of fainting, and her body had stopped struggling as if she would faint at any moment.
He narrowed his eyes, concealing the emotions hidden in his heart, and continued at the same time, "I don't know why you came to the Silent Forest, but I can also tell you that the mercenary leader named Kevin was killed by me here, and his corpse was also burned to ashes by me!"
After saying this, although Flack tried his best to control his expression, the corner of his eyes still twitched uncontrollably a few times. He never thought that the enemy that Sir Goethe was looking for was actually this guy in front of him!
Kevin and Gallup were both extremely famous figures in the Rose Cross. If Roddy could kill them, it meant that he no longer cared about killing him!
After understanding this, the coldness in his body almost instantly drowned him.
Flack, who originally thought that he had the upper hand, looked around. The cavalry that had stopped crossing the river were all standing in the river and staring at him. They allowed the water to soak their bodies without the slightest movement. As for his few subordinates that were still alive, they were either screaming loudly due to their serious injuries, or struggling to swim to the shore.
This guy in front of me really can't be judged by common sense. I better hurry up and leave this place first.
Standing by the river, Flack made a decision in his heart. He opened his mouth and was about to find an excuse to retreat to the Silent Forest, but then he saw Roddy suddenly doing a very strange movement. His body suddenly bent forward, and his legs curled up, as if he was preparing to start running.
Flack instinctively felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to exert pressure on the shadow chains on Natha, he heard the sound of water behind him. At this moment, Flack suddenly remembered the hidden magical beast that he saw when he crossed the river, and the strange thing that Roddy stepped on when he crossed the river.
"Pu!"
The calm river suddenly swelled up. Nokia's eagle-like mouth directly broke through the water barrier, and its body that weighed over a hundred kilograms rushed to the shore with unbelievable speed. Before Flack could turn around, Nokia bit down on his right knee.
[Herculean Strike] and [Fierce Bite] were simultaneously cast by Nokia. When that mouth with astonishing biting strength closed, the sound of the knee bone breaking could be clearly heard.
"Ka la!"
"Ah —"
Flack's mind instantly went blank. He wanted to cast a spell, but the unbearable pain caused him to scream out uncontrollably. His body was also unable to stand due to Nokia's violent shaking of its head, and he immediately fell to the ground.
From the time Roddy bent his waist to the time Flack sat on the ground, only a total of two seconds had elapsed. Using these two seconds, Roddy had already pulled out the dagger from his leather boots. In a flash, he 'leapt' across a distance of six meters and rushed in front of the shadow priest. Without hesitation, he delivered an absolutely fatal blow.
Death came too quickly, and Flack's face still had traces of pain and shock.
"Pu!"
The ice-cold dagger pierced through Flack's heart. Flack's eyes bulged out, and he raised his arms. However, he was simply unable to conjure any shadow spells. His opened mouth emitted a 'ho ho' sound, and his pupils gradually dilated.
However, Roddy's movements did not stop. His eyes were cold and angry as he stared at his opponent. The dagger in his hand fell again and again, allowing the blood to splatter on his face.
After four stabs, Flack's chest was riddled like a hornet's nest. After releasing the dagger, Roddy did not have any interest in Flack's two subordinates that were still alive. He directly rushed to Natha's side. When he felt Natha's ice-cold body, Roddy felt as if his heart had instantly stopped beating.
The binding of the 'Shadow Chain' was like a python coiling around its prey. Even if it was only tightened for ten seconds, it was enough to cause unimaginable damage to the human body. At this moment, Natha's face was devoid of blood. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her limbs were powerlessly spread out. It seemed as if she had already lost all signs of life.
In the eyes of others, Natha's current state could almost be called 'dead'. However, in Roddy's eyes, Natha's HP hadn't been reduced to zero. Instead, it had been reduced from 3% to 2%!
The status icons of 'Near Death Suffocation' and 'Unconscious' appeared in front of Roddy's eyes, causing him to stop in midair. Because 'Unconscious' meant that he could not use the potion!
Holding the expensive potion bottle, Roddy did his utmost to think of a countermeasure. However, in just two seconds, Roddy discovered that his HP had once again decreased to 1%.
"Why is this happening … The chain is gone …"
Roddy could no longer conceal the nervousness in his eyes. In a state of panic, he gritted his teeth and stood up. Giving up on the so-called 'first aid' methods in the game, he stretched out his hand and gently pinched Natha's nose. With his other hand, he lifted her chin and lowered his head, directly performing artificial respiration!
Natha's lips were soft and a little cold. At the same time, there was a little fragrance. However, at this moment, Roddy was not in the mood to think about whether this was his and Natha's "first kiss". He felt his body trembling violently due to nervousness. The feeling of fear of losing something was extremely similar to the time when he first walked into Mogra Village.
Roddy remembered how to perform artificial respiration, but he did not remember how many times he had to perform it. After a few assisted breaths, Natha's body still did not improve. Just as he was pondering whether he should perform the 'heart compressions', a strange moist and soft feeling suddenly came from between Roddy's lips.
Roddy abruptly raised his body. The first thing he noticed was that Natha's chest was slightly heaving up and down. Shifting his gaze forward, Roddy inadvertently made eye contact with a pair of slightly confused eyes.
Natha's mouth was still slightly open. The tip of her tongue was subconsciously licking her lips. It was obvious that the feeling Roddy felt just now came from the tip of her pink tongue. Natha seemed to have realized this after a few seconds. Her pale cheeks almost instantly flushed red. Her eyes that met with Roddy's also looked away as if she had been electrocuted. Her mouth slightly moved a few times as if she wanted to say something. In the end, she clenched her fists, slightly pursed her lips, and turned her head to the side.
Roddy was not in the mood to pay attention to Natha's embarrassment. He was only looking for the status icon of "near death from suffocation". After confirming that it had disappeared, he slowly exhaled.
"Fortunately … fortunately …"
He patted his chest, but his palms were scalded by the heat from the leather armor that was still burning hot.
