Chapter 235 The Third
The formation of the headless corpse army relies on the ability of Kuhua and Amanda to work together.
Morrow had never encountered this situation before, so when making the decision, he thought that the star would only be transferred to one of Kuhua or Amanda.
For him, as long as he successfully eliminates one of them, he can directly disrupt the linkage ability of the headless army.
So whether the star is transferred to Kuhua or Amanda, it is an outcome that Moreau can accept.
But he didn't expect·
After killing Amanda, the star mark could continue to follow the trajectory of telekinesis and transfer directly to Kuhua's body.
This is an unexpected surprise.
Amidst the blood, mist, and dust in the sky, Moreau sensed the star mark on Ku Hua's body, and a ray of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
In order to ensure that he could break away from Madge's thoughts as soon as possible, when Moreau released the flying star towards himself just now, he had no extra space to control the power.
So much so that while the deception flying star shattered the broken limbs and mental threads, it also caused damage to him.
In fact, during the burst of thinking at that moment, he had the idea of using the cheating flying star to inject the essence-seizing effect.
In this way, as long as the Deception Flying Star can successfully kill either Kuhua or Amanda, he can use the effect of Essence to recover his injuries.
However, with limited thinking time, Morrow finally decided to use the normal deception flying star for stability.
Because he really has no room for trial and error.
If the ability linkage between Kuhua and Amanda cannot be disintegrated as quickly as possible after the star transfer, then every second after that will be like sand falling into a bottle continuously, and the battle pressure will continue to accumulate.
But now Amanda has been killed, and the star mark has not disappeared, and has been transferred directly to Kuhua.
In this case, if you choose to use Essence-capturing Flying Stars to attack, once you can kill Kuhua, your injuries will be restored, thereby smoothing out the disadvantage.
But if the Essence-capturing Flying Star cannot kill Kuhua in seconds, the fault tolerance rate will be further reduced.
This is a decision between two options.
And there is not much time to think.
"If you choose the wrong one, it's basically a dead end."
"If you choose the right one, you can increase your chances of winning——"
In the blink of an eye, Morrow made a decision in an explosion of thinking that was comparable to life and death. He suddenly rushed out of the smoke and took the initiative to attack Madge, who was closest to him.
「欺诈·夺萃·飞星]
在冲出烟尘的瞬间，他已然朝身后射出一颗蕴含着翠绿色光泽的飞星。
At this time, Madge could only quickly retract her gaze from Amanda's body.
Veins popped up around her temples, and murderous intent surged wildly in her eyes.
I will definitely kill you! ! !
Catalyzed by strong emotions, Madge burst out with an astonishing aura.
She faced Moreau, who was attacking directly, with the raging and boiling murderous intent.
The moment when Moreau attacked Kuhua with flying stars again, she could only believe that Kuhua could defend himself with his own ability.
At this time, what she can do is to take advantage of the critical moment when Moreau's energy is diverted from attacking Kuhua, and strive to severely injure Moreau, or kill him directly.
Her decisions and reactions were all within Moreau's expectations.
But this expected result is not because Moreau understands Madge's character and behavior.
But when all factors are clear, anyone will be driven by these factors to make an "inevitable" decision
.
Even if Moreau were to replace Madge, he would have made the same choice.
Morrow and Madge each held their thoughts together, like two streams of light passing over the flat ground, finally meeting at one place.
!
The limbs of both sides collided fiercely with strong thoughts.
The energy of Nian Qi violently advanced at this moment, setting off a turbulent wave of air in all directions.
Immediately afterwards,
Morrow and Madge were each knocked back a few steps, and their eyes met in mid-air.
Morrow's eyes showed calm killing intent.
And Madge's eyes were filled with boiling murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour Moreau.
She stepped forward fiercely, with astonishing hand speed, her hands were covered with solid thoughts, interweaving into pieces of afterimages, shrouding Morrow.
Morrow, however, seized the opportunity. On the high-altitude steel wire that would kill him instantly if he took one step slower, he was not afraid to shatter his body's energy into bright starlight.
The offensive information from Madge was received by Morrow's starlight in an instant.
However, before Morrow could dodge the attack, the movement of Madge's hand suddenly stopped.
It was as if the astonishing afterimage she had just created with her hands was just a bluff.
But this is obviously to prevent the starlight from converging to achieve the ability conditions.
Morrow suddenly stared, and at the moment when Madge suddenly stopped, he took back the starlight that had not completely spread without hesitation.
Happily luckily, when he used his ability just now, he consciously controlled the spread of the starlight.
It is this kind of detail that allows him to gain the critical time difference without sacrificing his energy at this moment.
As Moreau decisively withdrew his manifest energy, Madge's true intention was also revealed at this moment.
The afterimage she intertwined with her hands was not a fake move, but she used her thoughts to weave a thought network out of thin air and used "hide" to eliminate the traces.
The use of this technique is extremely delicate and high-speed.
Moreau withdrew his manifest energy in time, but was still covered by this thought net.
The next moment.
Ma Qi's thought network suddenly closed, and at the moment when Moreau's body was tightly bound, a shuddering murderous intention erupted.
She controlled the sharp thought thread with one hand, and the other hand turned into a palm knife, stabbing Morrow's heart without hesitation.
Morrow was tightly entangled in the mind net, and he could only burst out his energy to cover his whole body, resisting the sharp cutting force like a kite string.
When Madge's sword came towards him, he suddenly turned sideways and used his thoughts to squeeze his right arm in front of him to block Madge's attack.
Poof!
Machi's palm knife penetrated deeply into Moreau's arm, and blood spurted out instantly, drawing a dazzling scarlet arc in the air.
Almost as blood spattered, Moreau's expression was extremely calm, as if he was not the one who was stabbed in the arm.
He just used this to adjust the angle, and the left hand that was also squeezed by the restraining thought network was more accurately the sheath of Yuanna on his left hand.
The binding strength of the Machinian Thread is indeed not weak, but it cannot seal Morrow's mobilization of his mental energy.
Morrow allowed Magi to pierce his arm, thereby injecting more energy into the Sheath of Yuanna despite the limited amount of energy revealed.
With the injection of thought, a wave of energy light suddenly erupted from the scabbard, directly pushing out the sheathed red jade bird knife.
Ma Qi's pupils shrank sharply. At such a close distance, there was no time to defend herself. She could only rely on her judgment and concentrate her thoughts on the place where she was hit as much as possible.
Expansion!
The red jade bird knife was wrapped in a piercing red light, and it hit Ma Qi's chin with the handle.
After receiving this blow, Ma Qi immediately leaned back, blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, and her whole body instantly lost her balance.
But even so, she still insisted on reading the thread.
However, Madge's momentary loss of vision and changes in body posture were enough to free Moreau from the shackles of his thoughts.
It's all because Yuanna's Sheath can continue to shoot.
Morrow aimed at the angle and injected telekinesis into Yuanna's Sheath again.
In the meantime, a beam of energy spurted out from the sheath, accurately hitting the thought thread extending from Madge's hand.
However, during this gap, Madge let her body fly backwards and kicked Moreau in the abdomen.
The energy beam destroying the thought thread and Madge raising her foot to kick Morrow in the abdomen happened almost at the same time.
As his thoughts broke, Moreau was kicked backwards and flew low into the sky. The blood spit out from his mouth was scattered on the ground along the way.
Machi’s kick caused considerable damage to Moreau.
Not only that, he was kicked out, which meant that he could not recover the Ruby Bird Knife.
And when he injected telepathy into Yuanna's Sheath just now, the telepathy defense strength of other parts of his body will be reduced accordingly.
Hence, in such a short period of time, Morrow's body was cut with many wounds by the thought thread.
This is the importance of showing Qi Qi.
"Using less than half of the manifest energy to counter Madge's offensive is really risky—"
Morrow’s right arm was penetrated by Madge’s palm knife and was unable to move.
But he didn't care about the tragic injuries on his body. After pulling away, he inserted the Sheath of Yuanna back to his waist, and immediately condensed a flying star with emerald green luster on his left hand.
But the next moment, he withdrew the Essence-capturing flying star that he was going to use to attack Kuhua again.
Because it is not necessary.
The ability to seize essence suddenly activated at this moment, healing his injuries at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The attack between him and Madge just now seemed to go back and forth several times, but in fact the two sides were very fast, and it happened in the blink of an eye.
And the cheating, essence-capturing, flying star he shot out at the beginning also threatened Ku Hua's life at this point in time.
At that time, when Kuhua saw the flying star coming, his first reaction was to take back the dispersed manifestation energy.
However, after the battle started, he and Amanda never expected that Moro could use this method to break through the defense of the headless army and Chrollo and others.
So much so that he unhesitatingly focused on high-speed reproduction of objects.
Every time a corpse is copied, some of the manifested energy will be diverted away.
And because of the dispersion of the body, he, like Amanda, cannot take back all the manifested energy at once.
Plus·
The extraction effect will weaken the power of the flying star, but the speed will not be affected.
So the doubling speed played a key role at this moment and became the last straw for Kuhua.
The Essence-capturing Flying Star formed by the condensed energy of more than half of Morrow's manifest energy, penetrated Kuhua's head.
The timing happened to be the moment when Moreau was injured by Madge.
This result cannot be said to be perfect.
· Because Moro originally wanted to use the established condition of his limited manifest energy to show weakness, so before Chrollo could reorganize his offensive,
· He took the risk and tried to implant the star mark into Madge.
It turns out that he was overconfident.
Under those conditions, not only did the star fail to be implanted, but it was further severely damaged by Madge.
After all, Ma Qi can exert a 100% conversion rate of both the change and strengthening systems at the same time. In terms of frontal combat strength, she is by no means comparable to auxiliary logistics personnel such as Sister Pikeno and Kuhua.
Showing his absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, the only thing he could do was to hit Madge on the chin with a ruby bird knife.
It should cause damage, but it has no real effect.
However, judging from the results, it is generally in line with the initial expectations.
[Lv.63→Lv.64]
With the death of Kuhua, Moro's level has also been improved while recovering from his injuries.
Killing Amanda before did not directly upgrade.
On the one hand, his current level is very high. Under the influence of the experience attenuation mechanism, the difficulty of upgrading has obviously increased.
On the other hand, Amanda's level is not very high. It is impossible for him to level up at once. He can only accumulate experience points.
Now that I have killed Kuhua again, I have been promoted to one level.
The improvement in level also restored Moreau's potential energy to a certain extent.
It can be said that the decision Morrow made in a very short period of time created an opportunity for him to regain blood and mana at the same time.
At this time, Ma Qi also noticed Kuhua lying on the ground.
A large amount of blood flowed out from under Ku Hua's body and gathered into a pool of blood. He was obviously dead.
Machi's expression suddenly changed, and her eyes, soaked in cold murderous intent, were fixed on Moreau's body.
At this time, she could not observe the fact that Moreau had recovered part of his potential energy, but she could see that the penetrating wound on Moreau's right arm was healing quickly.
It was still an unexpected change, like a heavy hammer, hitting her mentally hard.
What the hell is this——.
What's going on? !
How many abilities does he have! ?
It is obvious that our side has an absolute numerical advantage, and even completely targeted his ability, but why "
It became like this?
Maggie found it difficult to accept this fact. Affected by the turbulent emotions, her delicate and beautiful face gradually deformed.
Morrow met Macchi's eyes that were intertwined with anger and murderous intent, and casually shook his fully recovered right arm.
His move undoubtedly further stimulated Madge's nerves.
As if to say to Ma Qi: Your offensive just now is meaningless.
Machi's anger reached its peak.
She has never felt such a strong desire to cut a person into pieces.
This mood and will are revealed freely with her aura.
Morrow felt the strong murderous intention from Madge with an expressionless face.
I didn’t expect that it didn’t even require a “verbal offensive” to anger Madge to such an extent. After all, not everyone is a fan of Chrollo and Il.
But suddenly, Moreau's eyes changed.
At this moment, Ma Qi also suddenly stopped thinking of rushing towards Moreau.
The changes in the two people's reactions were all due to Chrollo's movements.
After he was blasted away by Moro with Yuanna's Sheath, he did not regroup and fight back, but turned around to deal with Kurapika.
