A direct spear attack, such a simple attack … Dorcas should be able to block it, right?
Although this was what Wa Yi thought, his expression clearly began to become nervous. Even though Wa Yi and Dorcas usually didn't see eye to eye and were like bad friends, Wa Yi was still worried when it came to critical moments.
Just like now, Wa Yi's heart was hanging high in his throat. His gaze didn't move as he wanted to see how Dorcas would counterattack.
According to Wa Yi's understanding of Dorcas, he would definitely be able to block such a direct attack. Even if he couldn't, he could activate his bloodline and use the Swordback Sandworm's thick, gold-like skin to block the attack.
However, an unforeseen event occurred at this critical moment.
That strange call of "Yuna" seemed to pass through layers upon layers of mountains, coming from afar and reverberating in the air above the arena.
Hearing this call, Wa Yi's expression became even more nervous. Before this, Dorcas had continuously reduced the number of stabs because of this strange call. Now that this call had appeared at such a critical moment, would it affect Dorcas again?
Wa Yi's guess was correct.
As the call of "Yuna" reverberated, Dorcas became absent-minded.
Even if it was only for a tenth of a second, it was enough to cause an irreversible and fatal crisis.
Accompanied by the evil woman's sharp and arrogant laughter, the blood-colored spear of light suddenly accelerated. It was already as fast as lightning, but now it reached a speed that could almost pierce through space.
Pu — —
A violent sound was heard as the blood-colored spear of light pierced through Dorcas's chest at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
Seeing Dorcas get pierced, Kal and Wa Yi were both stunned.
At this moment, in their eyes, even time seemed to slow down. They could even clearly see the pierced Dorcas look down in confusion at the large hole in his chest. His absent-mindedness turned to shock, and finally to helplessness.
Seeing the changes in Dorcas's expression, they could roughly guess. Perhaps even Dorcas himself didn't know what had happened at that moment.
Time slowed down, in the end, was just a kind of sensory delay. It couldn't be fixed at this moment forever.
When they felt the flow of time again, the first thing they saw was a fountain of blood spurting out from Dorcas' chest.
Immediately after, there was a thud as Dorcas knelt on the ground powerlessly. He used the red sword as a crutch to support himself from falling to the ground.
His fighting spirit still hadn't dissipated, and when he looked at the evil woman in the sky, his eyes became even redder.
It was just that everything was at a loss.
This scene had the tragic feeling of a hero who had been defeated because of his twilight years.
Kal-El and Wai couldn't even bear to look at her and turned their heads away. Only Angor and Black Earl were still reading the book.
The evil woman's laughter became even more arrogant. She looked down at Dorcas with disdain and disdain.
"Isn't it great to be on the verge of death?" A strange and crazy voice came out of the evil woman's mouth. "It's a feeling that makes you addicted. It's like countless hands dragging you from the hard human world into the soft, comfortable, and worry-free underground world … Do you want to go?"
"Do you want to go? Haha! Pfft! Of course I do! " Dorcas looked up with bloodshot eyes while coughing up blood. "But I want to take you down there and come back on my own!"
The evil woman behind the hair narrowed her eyes and became even more violent. "Still struggling? Then I'll send you on your last journey! "
The evil woman's words were harsh, but she was still cautious when it came to fighting. She didn't forget that the judge above her might be on Dorcas' side. If he tried to stop her, she would immediately withdraw.
However, the evil woman was overthinking things.
The Wise Ruler was on Angor's side, but he had his own rules. As long as he didn't break any rules, he wouldn't interfere with the duel.
Even if the evil woman killed Dorcas on the spot, the Wise Ruler would only look on coldly.
Besides, Dorcas wasn't important. The two most important people hadn't even come yet.
The evil woman saw that the black-robed referee did not react at all after her feint attack. She immediately grinned and turned her feint attack into a real attack. "Your sword stab really hurt me. Then I'll let you stab me with my blood spear. This can be considered an eye for an eye, right?"
With a mocking tone, blood flowed out of the wound under the evil woman's bandage, which turned into blood-red spears of light. These blood-colored spears of light were exactly the same as the ones that had pierced through Dorcas.
However, there was only one spear before. Now, there were ten spears in front of the evil woman, all aimed at Dorcas's weak points.
If all ten spears hit him, Dorcas would never survive.
In the eyes of everyone, Dorcas's current situation meant that he wouldn't be able to turn the situation around.
Wai had been keeping a straight face all this time, but when he saw that Dorcas was in danger, he couldn't hold it anymore. He turned around and looked at the Dark Count with a pleading look.
In his eyes, the only one who could save Dorcas now was his master.
Wai and the Dark Count had a telepathic connection. Without Wai saying anything, the Dark Count understood what he meant.
However, the Dark Count shook his head and said to Wai through their telepathic connection, "If I interfere in the duel now, I will only be violating the rules. The person behind the scenes wants to see Noah's descendants violate the rules. If that's the case, according to the rules, even the Wise Ruler will act against us. "
Wai: "But … Dorcas is my only good friend."
The Dark Count: "Even so, I can't save him."
Wai's face was full of shock. "Why?"
The Dark Count: "Because … of curses."
In each major school, there were different types of curses. One could use blood, hair, skin, nails, and so on to curse others.
However, these curses weren't very effective against official Magi. This was because curses were a type of killing technique. As long as it was a killing technique, once it landed on a Magus, even if they were thousands of miles away, the Magus would instinctively sense danger and avoid it.
Hence, in the southern region, curses were the methods of low-level Magi.
Of course, there were also curses that could be used on official Magi. For example, the Western Continent's Epha Clan's curses could even curse Legends, let alone official Magi.
However, the Epha Clan had never entered the southern region, so this was negligible.
Now, in the Dark Count's eyes, Dorcas had been cursed. Moreover, he had been cursed in the middle of a battle.
With the Dark Count's experience, he could tell at a glance that the vile woman's curses weren't very strong.
The reason why she was able to successfully cast it on Dorcas was because of the right time, place, and people. Moreover, the vile woman had attacked and cursed at the same time. This confused the Magi's premonition and made it impossible to determine whether the danger came from the vile woman's attack or the curse.
In addition, the vile woman had mentioned Yuna, which distracted Dorcas. Even if it was only for a second, it gave the vile woman a chance to cast the curse.
It was estimated that when Dorcas was beaten to the ground by the vile woman, that attack had been mixed with the curse.
As for the vile woman's curse, it was obvious that it came from the extraordinary organ that she had transplanted.
This curse wasn't strong, but it was rather stubborn.
With the Dark Count's nose, there was no way he could directly remove it. If he wanted to remove it, there was only one way: to directly attack the vile woman and remove the extraordinary organ that had cursed her.
Saving Dorcas was already a violation of the rules. In order to save Dorcas, he had to directly attack the opponent. This was a continuous violation of the rules.
Not to mention the Wise Ruler's reaction, even the Dark Count himself would be embarrassed to do so.
The conversation between the Dark Count and Wa Yi quickly flowed through his mind. There was almost no time limit to this kind of exchange of thoughts, and Wa Yi understood the current situation in an instant.
However, the more he understood, the more dejected Wa Yi felt.
According to his lord, Dorcas was completely beyond saving?
Perhaps sensing Wa Yi's depressed mood, the Dark Count added, "Bloodlines have very strong self-recovery abilities. Even if he only has a head left, he might not necessarily die."
Whether or not the Dark Count's words of consolation were effective was still unknown. However, on the stage, the ten blood-colored spears that the vile woman had condensed in front of her had already transformed into streaks of light that shot towards Dorcas.
The Black Earl was right. The evil woman had indeed held back. All the blood-colored light spears were aimed at the weak points. Although all of her spears were aimed at the most important part, the head, the vile woman hadn't aimed at it.
In this kind of situation, Dorcas might be on the verge of death, but he might not necessarily die.
The reason why she had held back this time was actually because of the Dark Count.
Before entering the stage, Hui Shang had warned her that her opponent was very likely from that family, and that the clone of that lord might even be present.
In order to not anger the Dark Count, the vile woman had held back this time.
However, whether or not the vile woman had held back this time, the result would have been the same.
The variables in a duel were never something you could predict.
When the ten blood-colored spears shot towards Dorcas, despair flashed through his eyes … Scenes of his life flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
When one of the scenes flashed through his mind, the revolving lantern paused for a moment.
It happened not too long ago.
In the background, there was a luxurious banquet hall, where Angor was looking at Dorcas with a smile …
The scene suddenly stopped. Dorcas looked at the blood-colored spears that were already inches away from him and gritted his teeth. A sword pierced through his chest, and there was something that looked like a leather scroll attached to the tip of the sword.
Without hesitation, Dorcas reached out his hand and pulled the scroll down.
The scroll revealed its long and winding appearance. As the scroll was pulled open, a halo of light flashed.
The halo was extremely dazzling, and it carried a very strange energy. Dorcas, who was closest to the scroll, was forced to close his eyes.
When he closed his eyes, he felt as if everything around him had disappeared. The world became … so peaceful.
All the noise was excluded, and all the worries seemed to have disappeared. The discomfort of the past, the worries of the past, and the past of being deceived, wronged, and wronged seemed to have turned into smoke and dissipated.
All the mental wounds were healed in this moment of tranquility. This feeling was even better than drinking Windsor's Advanced Witch Soup. It was as if the haze in his spirit sea had turned into a clear blue sky under the gentle breeze.
Furthermore, it was not just his spirit that was satisfied. Even his body felt extremely satisfied.
The places that were supposed to hurt suddenly became numb and itchy. This kind of numbness and itchiness was not uncomfortable. Instead, it was like a slender finger gently stroking the spine, unconsciously producing an electric shock. His scalp was tense and numb, but his spirit was unusually happy.
Dorcas resisted the pleasant feeling and opened his eyes.
Until now, he still didn't know what had happened. Also, what did Angor give him? Was it really going to help him fight back?
When Dorcas opened his eyes, he saw that the scene in front of him had completely changed.
A circular light barrier appeared in front of him. This light shield enveloped him tightly. Everything outside, including the noise, noise, energy, and even the monsters roaring in the void, were all blocked outside the light shield.
In addition, the ten blood-colored light spears that the evil woman had condensed earlier were also repelled by the light shield.
What surprised Dorcas even more was that the spears on his body were gone.
The big hole in his chest was completely healed.
His body, spirit, and mana whirlpool were all at their best!
And there was something else that Dorcas could not believe: his talent of Inspiration was restored! And the effect of his talent was the clearest he had ever seen.
In the past, his Inspiration was only a vague direction. But now, his Inspiration had reached an unimaginable level. He could even see through the woman's weaknesses through his Inspiration.
It might just be an illusion or a temporary feeling, but Dorcas could not believe that his Inspiration could reach such a level as soon as it was restored.
What the hell was that magic scroll Angor gave him?
Wasn't it the Sunlight Garden?
Dorcas blankly looked at his surroundings. After the light barrier flashed, it slowly condensed into the image of a temple. In the center of the illusory image was Dorcas.
At the very top of the temple, a beam of holy light descended and shone directly on Dorcas.
The warm feeling appeared again.
Dorcas was a little puzzled. Hadn't his physical and mental injuries already healed? Why were they here again?
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a scream.
When he turned around, he saw that the evil woman, who was originally floating in the air outside the light barrier, had suddenly bent over and covered her only exposed eye.
Blood flowed out from between her fingers.
"Why … Why …" The evil woman's voice was filled with misery, "Why did my eyes backfire … Ahhhhhhh!"
The evil woman let out an ear-piercing howl as her hair began to grow crazily. A large number of strands of hair rushed towards Dorcas.
However, they were all blocked by the outer layer of light.
The evil woman used all kinds of methods, but the light barrier still did not budge.
"Damn it, damn it! What the hell is this?! Why did the curse break? Why? Why?! "
The evil woman crazily asked. But … Dorcas himself did not know the answer.
However, apart from the evil woman, everyone present, including Dorcas, already had a vague idea when the light barrier appeared.
There was a strange, dense energy inside the light barrier.
And this energy … was Mystery power.
In other words, what Dorcas just activated was a Mystery scroll!
