He opened his mouth subconsciously and wanted to spit it out.
But he raised his hand to cover his mouth, clenched his teeth, and restrained the nausea surging in his chest.
That was the body's instinctive rejection.
But rejection wouldn't work.
Sweat continued to flow, making Miss Huai Zhi's face gradually become wet.
As his vitality plummeted again, Huai Shi felt that the alcohol content in his blood vessels began to soar — incomprehensible and unbelievable. Even this time, there wasn't even a transition phase at the beginning.
Without warning, he directly entered a state of deep drunkenness!
Until this time, Huai Shi discovered that the alcohol brought by Bloody Mary was not metabolized as he thought. Even after the alcohol of Long Island Iced Tea was injected, it reappeared.
It directly skipped the initial tipsy stage, and he fell into an uncontrollable drunkenness.
I still underestimated the bartender's skills …
Eliza's alcohol couldn't be metabolized!
Instead, it was like a stack of poison. It would increase with each round of drinking until the upper limit of the rapid decline of the tolerance could no longer resist the erosion of alcohol. Then, everything would be over.
"I've watched your previous matches. Your resistance is indeed very high, but this isn't something that can be ignored just because you can resist it."
Eliza looked down at Huai Zhi Suzi's embarrassed look and raised her eyebrows happily, "After all, how to quickly get the guests drunk is the bartender's unique skill."
Huai Shi didn't respond.
He was trying his best to resist the erosion of alcohol and the urge to fall asleep and faint. He had no time to talk.
Eliza shook her head and sighed. She took out the iron box from her pocket. After opening it, she rummaged through the tobacco and cigarette paper. After skillfully rolling one out, she stuck out her tongue, licked the corner of the cigarette paper, and sealed it.
"Do you want to smoke?"
She asked casually, but Huai Shi didn't respond.
She shook her head and sighed. She tilted her head and lit it herself. After taking two puffs, she took off the cigarette and stuffed it into the corner of Huai Zhi Suzi's mouth.
The strong smell of tobacco mixed with unknown powder made Huai Shi's drowsy consciousness gradually wake up.
It was only temporary.
"Surrender?" Eliza asked, "With your current state, let alone holding on to the next round, you can't even continue bartending, right?"
Huai Shi propped himself up in a short period of sobriety and absent-mindedness, scrutinizing his opponent who was glowing with shadows.
He smiled faintly.
"It's not time to admit defeat yet … Besides, who says I don't have a solution?"
"I don't hate stubborn girls."
Eliza smiled, but before she finished speaking, she saw that in Huai Shi's hand … a short Yingzhou knife that was as short as a rib slowly appeared. The overlapping feathers of the blade had a scarlet bloody light. It was so ferocious.
In front of everyone, Huai Shi raised his saber, turned the hilt, and pointed it at his neck.
The main artery was stabbed!
Eliza's expression suddenly changed, and she reached out to stop her.
It was too sudden!
She didn't understand why her opponent wanted to commit suicide when he couldn't win, but she instinctively didn't want to see blood on her workbench. She also didn't want this opponent who made her so happy to die for such a reason.
But it was too late.
The blade sank into Huai Shi's neck.
It pierced from the left and came out from the right.
There was no scene of blood splattering as expected.
It was as if it was just a toy to scare people.
But now, Huai Shi raised his hand as if nothing had happened. His eyes gradually became clear, and he was recovering his sobriety.
Gradually, he returned to normal.
Indeed, the alcohol in the blood couldn't be metabolized, so … it was better to just let the blood and alcohol go!
In this way, countless blood with the sweet fragrance of alcohol flowed along the resentment and flowed into the Cage of Dreams. Bit by bit, it was devoured by the Crows.
This excessive amount of alcohol, enough to intoxicate hundreds of people, was quickly drained from Huai Shi's body. Then, it flowed to the innocent Crows …
Next, Young Master Ming's hematopoietic function was activated.
The huge vitality from the Mountain Ghost surged and quickly turned into blood. Huai Shi took a deep breath, took off the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, and flicked the ash.
"Thank you for the cigarette."
Eliza's expression was unreadable, "Going to the bathroom to vomit after getting drunk in the Wine Competition … This is cheating, Miss Huai Shi."
"No, I'm just preparing the ingredients for today's last cocktail." Huai Shi smiled slyly, "Besides, there's no rule that says you can't bleed yourself in the competition, right?"
Yes, these are the ingredients for today's last cocktail.
Anyway, that's what he said. As for the last cocktail … can't I change the recipe at the last minute?
Casually, he pulled out the resentment that had been washed by the good wine and put away the blood.
Huai Shi's other hand picked up the empty porcelain bottle again. After pouring in the sake again, he directly inserted it into the ice bucket. Then, the forging furnace was restarted!
This time, what burst out was no longer high heat. On the contrary, countless chills were rapidly shrinking inward.
The ice in the ice bucket melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was because the heat was being transferred from the porcelain bottle to the outside.
It was still the water refinement in alchemy and the fluid transformation method in the foundry's skill. The essence of disaster from hell was injected into it.
Soon, the bone-chilling gray sake was poured into Eliza's wine cup.
"Special Sake – Sang Ran."
Huai Shi smiled. "Let me give you a spoiler. This is a different feeling from anger. Be careful."
Sang Ran.
Eliza lowered her head and stared at the gloomy and heavy color in the glass. Her brows slowly raised.
It was indeed the color of Sang Ran.
It was just that this color was really sad.
In a trance, she suddenly felt sad.
No matter how thick her nerves were, Eliza was still a woman. The gentler her nature was, the easier it was to feel hurt.
After this involuntary sigh, she finally reacted, but the glass in front of her was already empty.
Only a trace of coldness went down her throat the moment she absent-mindedly drank. With the cold wine fragrance, even the flames of the whole world couldn't extinguish the coldness and loneliness.
The chill was spreading.
Her movements were stiff in place.
As if she was frozen, it was difficult for her to breathe. She was so sad that she couldn't control herself.
The past that she couldn't forget once again floated to her heart with this coldness, bringing heart-wrenching sadness and loneliness.
She tried to raise her wrist with difficulty, but when her knuckles rubbed against each other, it made a sharp sound.
It was difficult to move.
It was even … difficult to breathe.
Because she was bound, from the inside out …
In the broken mournful sound, the projection in her soul emerged. A dark and illusory chain broke through her lungs and extended from her body.
It penetrated the joints, bound the muscles, surrounded the lungs and internal organs, and finally converged on the heart that was beating hard.
It gradually shrank inward.
— — Sorrowful Lock!
Not caring that Eliza couldn't continue drinking, Huai Shi drank one glass after another, tasting the sadness and loneliness that once belonged to him.
For this kind of thing, just one glass was enough.
Any more wouldn't have any effect.
But loneliness and sadness to this extent … It was really unexpected.
Huai Shi lowered his eyes.
Behind the bar counter in front of him, countless chains had pierced out of Eliza's body, binding her layer by layer. They multiplied and spread crazily, almost enveloping the entire arena.
Boundless and tyrannical Origin Substance rippled outwards, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
Huai Shi, who was close at hand, couldn't bear the aftermath of the sadness.
He could only rejoice from the bottom of his heart that he didn't fight to the death with such an opponent but had a Chef Demon duel … Otherwise, the one who lost and died would most likely be him, right?
Huai Shi had always known that Eliza was a powerhouse.
But he didn't expect that she could be so strong … Even among Tier 4, there were very few people who could be comparable to her, right?
"As expected of the Explorer who won the Lone Wolf Medal, Ms. Eliza."
Huai Shi raised his head, drank the last drop of Sang Ran's sake in the porcelain bottle, and sighed softly, "This determination and this strength are really awe-inspiring."
Bang!
A shattering sound sounded.
It was the wail of sadness being defeated.
Cracks appeared on the countless chains, and the shackles of the Sorrowful Rope collapsed. In front of Eliza's raised eyes. An ocean-like torrent emerged from the emaciated body.
The phantom of the skinny ferryman emerged from the torrent of the River Styx, looking down indifferently at the mortal world. In an instant, it disappeared without a trace with the rushing River Styx.
Charon!
Roman Genealogy – Tier 4 – River Styx Ferryman – Charon!
Eliza raised her eyes, took a deep breath, clenched her fists slightly, and the net of chains collapsed in an instant.
Now, Huai Shi could finally understand … how she carried the ruler's curse.
Because this woman was really unreasonably strong!
Just by relying on determination, he could defeat his own sorrow. Relying on her own strength, she could bear the ruler's curse … If you have such strength, why don't you go kill people and rob them!
Why do you have to work?
Huai Shi shook his head with regret, feeling despair about this overly fantastical world.
"I have to admit, Miss Huai Shi —"
Eliza raised her eyes and sighed solemnly, "You are an opponent that I can't defeat with alcohol. From this round onwards, I will really start to use the bartender's means."
"Me too."
Huai Shi responded with a smile, "I have found your weakness, Ms. Eliza."
"Then let's have a showdown, Miss Huai Shi."
Eliza smiled, raised her hand, and took off the ring on her left index finger. At that moment, darkness that was thousands of times stronger than before gushed out from her five fingers.
The curse of death instantly shrouded the entire audience, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
And from the illusion of ashes, the ruler who had already died raised his eyes and stared at the mortal world. That was the reflection left behind by the last existence.
Just its existence was enough to freeze people's horror.
In the beer barrel in front of Eliza, the valve opened, and a cup of dark beer with pale foam appeared in the glass.
And between the five fingers of Eliza's left hand, in the small glass, endless malice appeared in the color of vodka.
The sorrow was condensing into a curse.
Together with the small glass, it fell into the dark beer.
There was just a soft puff.
That was the dull sound of death falling.
"Deep water … No, this is the Abyss Bomb specially customized for you."
She stared at the smiling woman in front of her and said softly, "Please enjoy, Miss Huai Shi. For a strong opponent like you, there should be such an honor."
