When there were sixteen minutes left before the poison took effect, Feng Bujue obtained the Contra Medal that was modified by Billy, Aldan, and Ravid. The effect of the item had not changed, but the option of 'can you bring it out of the scenario' had been changed to 'yes', and there was only one medal.
After getting the benefit, Feng Bujue was satisfied. He picked up the One-Shot-Kill Pistol from the table and said, "I have one more thing to confirm. What if, and I mean what if … I'm killed by Faust once I leave the door, this medal will come into effect and revive me, right?"
"Yes, as long as you have this medal, whether you're inside or outside the door, inside or outside the prison, even if you're in the territory of the other four Pillars of Divinity, once you die, the medal will come into effect and revive you on the spot," Ravid replied.
Billy added, "Don't worry. When you open the door, we'll go out with you. We'll help you block Faust's attack. All you have to do is point your gun at him and pull the trigger. I'll give this gun the maximum damage. One bullet will be enough to finish him off."
Aldan added, "After you kill him, you take the potion and teleport away, and we'll escape from the cycle of reincarnation and escape the prison."
Billy said, "Then we'll go our separate ways and mind our own business. We don't owe each other anything."
"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking." Feng Bujue smiled and concluded. "Even though at the beginning, you tricked me into taking action, I believe that was because we didn't know each other and didn't trust each other. Now that we've confirmed our goals, we've come to a win-win deal. Judging from your words and deeds, I believe that you are all very honest, noble, and honorable people. You won't do the kind of thing I hypothesized before, right? "
"Enough, stop wasting time!" Ravid grumbled impatiently. "Are you a victim? We don't have much time left, and you've received your reward. Hurry up and do what you're supposed to do! "
"No problem, I'll move out now." Feng Bujue turned around and was surprised to find that the entrances to the four corridors had all disappeared and were replaced by a wall. In the middle of the wall was a door.
"Don't be surprised. The appearance and size of the space is just a form." Billy's voice was heard as the iron door of the cell creaked open.
Feng Bujue turned his head and realized that the puppet was already sitting on a small tricycle at some point in time. It was stepping on the pedals as it slowly came to his side. Ravid also came out from the second cell. He and Aldan looked at Feng Bujue, waiting for this traveler from another world to open the door.
Feng Bujue glanced at the three of them, shrugged, and walked forward.
…
The door opened, and one man and three monsters entered in a single file, entering a very monotonous grey space.
Faust stood about ten meters away from the door. He looked like a man in ancient Roman armor. His armor, skin, pupils, and hair were all gray like cement. If he did not turn his neck to look at them, he would have looked no different from a statue.
"Just as I expected …" Faust said, "Traveler from another dimension, you're siding with the prisoners, aren't you?"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Feng Bujue immediately guessed many things. "So, you're like the others. Before I came to the prison, you already received the potion and knew about my condition?"
"That's right," Faust replied. "I guessed that you would side with them. With your power, it's impossible for you to snatch the potion from them and find the door. " He paused. "So … no matter what you went through in the prison, when you came to me, you were definitely my enemy."
"I'm glad you understand." Feng Bujue raised his gun. His eyes were murderous, and his grip on the gun was firm.
Bang! The gunshot rang out.
Labitte was shot in the head again.
Other than Feng Bujue, everyone else was shocked. Even Faust asked internally, "What's going on?"
After killing Ravid at such a close distance, Feng Bujue did not stop. He turned his gun back to Billy. This time, he kept firing, and he fired several bullets. Amidst his shock and anger, Billy reacted quickly. He immediately made the gun in Feng Bujue's hand disappear, and the trajectory of the bullets changed. Even so, the distance was too close, and Billy's physical skill was almost zero. Furthermore, Feng Bujue's betrayal came out of nowhere. Therefore, Billy was shot in the right side of his stomach, and he was injured.
"You …" Billy muttered angrily, "Aldan! Kill … "
Before he could finish, a wave of evil energy spread out from Feng Bujue's body. This scene was enough to make a monster of Billy's level go silent.
"Hmph … it seems like the activation was successful …" Feng Bujue sneered. The instant the pistol disappeared, he had already activated his only killing move — [Evil King's Black Dragon Flame Wave].
Feng Bujue's Sorcery Mastery was E, so the success rate of activating this skill was forty percent. However, due to the buff from the Alchemist's Determination, the success rate of activating all his active skills would increase by ten percent. To put it simply, the success rate was fifty-fifty.
A wave of black evil energy spread out from Feng Bujue's right arm and covered his entire body. His body was surrounded by a wave of energy, and the Black Dragon Flame Blast was about to be unleashed.
This was the strongest profound of the Fiend King's Flame Kill Fist. Before the move was made, the dragon didn't move, but it already had the momentum of a storm. Putting aside the level of the user, just the power of the move itself was absolutely unparalleled.
Feng Bujue spread his legs apart, and he got into a horse stance. His left hand pressed on his right shoulder, and his right arm straightened. His five fingers curled into a palm … With a dragon's roar, a black dragon formed from energy materialized. It opened its maw and swallowed the wooden puppet on the tricycle.
This skill was fast, powerful, and it was used for tracking. Before Billy could use it, he was stunned by the evil energy and could not escape. Even Aldan, who was standing beside him, could not move.
"Your item, Contra Medal, has been consumed."
This time, he had really used up the medal. The Black Dragon Wave consumed '100% Life Points'. The skill that was activated at such a price was indeed shocking. Billy, who had already been tricked, was unable to defend himself, and he was blasted into nothingness.
After Feng Bujue killed Billy, he was swallowed by the black flames as well, but he immediately revived on the spot. With a smug look, he looked at Aldan, who was the last of the three, and said, "Before you charge at me in anger …" He slowly retreated and shamelessly stood beside Faust. "You'd better consider your current situation …" He smiled. "I remember Billy said that of the three of you, only he can defeat Faust in his strongest state … So, if I were you, I wouldn't have come here to die for nothing. I would have chosen to return to the prison in your current state and be prepared to welcome a monster that will soon enter the prison."
Faust seemed to have understood the situation. He turned to look at Feng Bujue and said sincerely, "You sure are cunning …"
"You've fooled, deceived, and used us …" Aldan hissed through gritted teeth.
"It was you who did this to me first, wasn't it?" Feng Bujue said, "But you were not good enough, so you failed. And I have shown you the right way to do it. "
"You used the gun and medal that we gave you to deal with us …"
"Hmm … You are indeed honest and noble people. During the negotiation, you revealed everything that I wanted to know … like your power, the theory behind these items, and the comparison of your power with Faust." Feng Bujue added, "And you even gave me the things that I wanted so that I had the confidence to carry out this plan."
"You dirty, despicable, evil …" Even when Aldan was scolding, he was very particular about the accuracy of his words. It appeared that he was not programmed to swear.
"That's enough, Aldan." Faust cut him off. "The hatred between you and this traveler from another dimension has nothing to do with me. But I have my duty. Now, I order you to return to your cell, or I'll have to send you back myself. "
Aldan's blue eyes dimmed. His gaze lingered on Feng Bujue for a long time like he wanted to carve this man's image into his mind forever. About 10 seconds later, he retreated into the cell, and the door closed behind him …
"Phew …" Seeing Aldan leave, Feng Bujue let out a long sigh of relief. As he took a second breath, he turned to Faust and said, "Excuse me, the bottle of 'unknown chemical potion' in your hand …"
"Understood … understood …" Faust extended his hand and handed the potion to Feng Bujue.
When Feng Bujue accepted the item, he received a system notification.
"Main mission progress updated.
"Find the chemical potion (4/4)
"Current mission completed. Main mission updated."
The new mission in the game menu was, "Mix the unknown chemical potions (A), (B), (C), and (D) into an antidote to neutralize the toxin."
The system voice paused for two seconds before continuing, "Do you wish to combine a specific mission item?"
Feng Bujue clicked confirm on the menu that popped up before him. The other three potions in his inventory disappeared instantly, and the potion that he was holding dissolved into white light. After the data was reorganized, it turned into a new item, Antidote.
Feng Bujue did not drink the potion immediately. Instead, he turned to Faust and said, "I say … Big brother, I helped you with this prison break. Aren't you going to thank me for that?" As he said that, he lifted his head to look at Faust.
However, the prison guard before Feng Bujue froze. Upon closer inspection, Faust really did turn into a statue.
"You didn't help me with anything. You only helped yourself." Faust's voice came from another direction.
Feng Bujue turned around and saw another Faust glowing in silver light walking towards him.
"It doesn't matter which side you're on. They won't be able to escape," Faust said. "They'll just come here again and again to kill the clay dolls I made."
"You …" Feng Bujue's expression shifted slightly. "I get it now … There is no such thing as a spell from the Master of Time. From the beginning, it has been you who has been playing tricks here."
"Humph … Of course." Faust laughed coldly. "Why would the master allow a prison guard who is weaker than the prisoners to guard the prison?" He walked to Feng Bujue and continued, "This clay doll is made from a special magical material …" Faust patted the gray sculpture that looked exactly like him. "Of course, I'm not weaker than Billy. In a one-on-one fight, they're no match for me. However, if the three of them work together, it'll be troublesome … "
"So you set a trap …" Feng Bujue took a few steps forward and tilted his head to look at the gray sculpture of Faust. "Whoever 'kills' this clay doll will have their powers taken away, right?"
Faust's gaze followed Feng Bujue closely. As Feng Bujue moved, Faust also turned his body slightly so that his back was facing the prison door.
"Actually … It doesn't matter who kills the clay doll. As long as the clay doll is destroyed, everyone in the 'door space' will have their powers taken away," Faust said. "So, I've always been outside this space, controlling the clay doll remotely to fight with them. They naively believe that the clay doll is me.
Hehe … Every time they kill the clay dolls, their strength will return to a very weak state. This way, the real me can easily send them back to their prison cells from the shadows. "
"After a few times, they will naturally be confused by this phenomenon …" Feng Bujue followed the man's lead and added.
"That's right," Faust added, "so I came up with this so-called 'reincarnation' theory. I told them that this is the spell of the Master of Time. No matter how many times they kill me, it's useless. They'll only enter a new reincarnation. "He shrugged." I used this method to solve the problem of their frequent escapes. As for the other work here, it's relatively easy. All I need to do is throw a monster in at the right time to ensure that something will accompany them. "
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue licked his lips. "Looks like … you're quite good at being cunning."
"Are you mocking me?" Faust snorted. "Hmph … I'm still lacking compared to you when it comes to deception."
"Hehehe … Hahahaha …" Feng Bujue threw his head back and guffawed like a madman.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped and a sinister smile appeared on his face. "No … it's not just lacking, it's far from it."
At that moment, Faust's expression froze. He felt a bone-piercing chill coming from many parts of his body. He looked down and saw balls of black shadow had wrapped around his neck, wrists, knees, and other body parts …
"You'd better not move. Your blood is flowing in my veins." Aldan's voice rang in Faust's ears.
At the same time, the creaking sound of the tricycle came from behind him …
Billy rode his tricycle up to Faust. He lifted his gloomy face and calmly asked, "Have you ever been kicked by a furry animal with its hind legs?"
"Wha …" When Faust heard this question, he sensed something and turned around …
He saw Ravid jump two meters into the air and spin in the air. It used its thick rabbit hind leg to kick Faust's face. It howled, "Da —"
