Mercenary Wars

Chapter 64 Fair Curse
"boom!"

The mithril magic-destroying arrow pierced through the fallen angel's wings, creating a palm-sized hole, and black feathers and blood flew everywhere.

Suffering such a severe blow, the fallen angel immediately lost its balance and fell from the air while circling. Cassandra took the opportunity to escape and jumped onto a roof not far away.

After shooting an arrow, Gao Jianuo turned around and ran away.

The fallen angel obviously couldn't die yet, but he had no other means except this arrow. Steel arrows and the like probably couldn't break through his defense at all, so he could only run away quickly.

The fallen angel fell rapidly, flapping its wings like a moth, and finally managed to stabilize its body before landing, then looked fiercely at Gao Jianuo in the distance.

This is... a third-level mortal?

He couldn't believe that he was shot down from the sky by a third-level mortal!
Without hesitation, after stabilizing his body, the fallen angel immediately started chasing Gao Jianuo.

His wings were injured, making it difficult for him to fly, so he could only chase on the ground. Even so, his speed far exceeded Gao Jianuo's, and the distance between them was rapidly shortened.

Cassandra quickly jumped down from the roof and chased after the fallen angel.

Gao Jianuo looked back and saw the fallen angel, who was sometimes running wildly and sometimes flying low, approaching him quickly. He immediately drank a bottle of speed potion.

Immediately afterwards, he started the "Blood Burning Sprint".

With six clusters of swift breezes, swiftness potions, and the powerful blood elf spell "Blood Burning Sprint", Gao Jianuo's running speed soared to dozens of meters per second.

For a moment, the distance between him and the Fallen Angel barely closed any further.

This made the fallen angel look incredulous and hesitant.

In fact, his own situation was very dangerous. High-ranking members of the Holy See might arrive soon, and he didn't want to waste too much time on a third-level mortal.

But after a brief thought, he decided to kill Gao Jianuo!
Because he noticed that the air exhaled by Gao Jianuo while running was a faint blood color. It was obvious that he had used some spell with side effects and could not last long.

This is indeed the case. "Blood Burning Sprint" can greatly increase running speed, but the cost is burning blood.

An average person could only maintain this state for a minute at most before losing consciousness and facing a high risk of death. Gao Jianuo's physique was stronger than that of an average person, but it could only last a minute and a half at most.

Gao Jianuo originally wanted to lead the fallen angel to the church, but then he changed his mind and quickly came up with a better idea.

Thieves Guild!

As expected, Yuris's men had already passed through the loophole in large numbers and would soon reach the Thieves Guild.

Wait... could it be that Yuris and the Fallen Angels are in cahoots?

Gao Jianuo quickly rejected this possibility.

If Juris dares to join forces with the devil, not only will he not get the title, he will also suffer the most terrible punishment, and no amount of cardinals can save him.

And the Thieves Guild is not far from the church.

Gao Jianuo made up his mind.

In order to prevent attacks from behind, he only took small paths, walked through streets and alleys, and ran towards the Thieves Guild.

Along the way, most people were frightened by the fallen angels and fled in all directions.

A few brave warriors attempted to stop the Fallen Angels, but they were often easily repelled or even killed. Despite this, they still helped greatly, preventing the Fallen Angels from launching effective long-range attacks on Gao Jianuo.

After about half a minute, the Fallen Angel grew tired of the chase.

In addition, as more and more people tried to stop and interfere with him, he immediately slowed down and chanted a spell.

The spell was completed, and the fallen angel pointed.

The black and sharp nails pointed directly at Gaogano.

The invisible spell transcended distance and took effect immediately, and then a string of information flashed through Gao Jianuo's mind.

[Achieved Status: Curse of Weakness (Second Ring)]

wipe!
Gao Jianuo suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost fell down.

Although he managed to maintain his posture with great effort, his speed inevitably dropped significantly, becoming almost the same as running normally.

Seeing his speed drop suddenly, the Fallen Angel rushed in again, and the distance between them began to rapidly close again. Gao Jianuo had not yet selected the fourth section of the Holy Name.

The main reason was that he was very attracted to both [Jesaros] and [Laerinis].

With the weakening curse imposed by the fallen angel, the entanglement about the Holy Name once again surged into Gao Jiano's mind.

If you choose to rebirth at dawn, there is only one result - being caught up and killed by the fallen angel, and then resurrected, the level returns to level one, and you lose the panel and Swift Breeze.

If you choose the Fair Curse, there are two possibilities: either you die completely, or you kill the Fallen Angel.

Two choices, one conservative and one radical.

Which one to choose?
Gao Jianuo felt that he was facing a choice between two destinies.

He even had a subtle fantasy: both choices would allow him to survive, but the lives they led to were completely different, even contradictory.

Gao Jianuo wanted to think about it carefully, and even wanted to study the gods represented by the two holy names "Jesaros" and "Laerinus".

But fate will not give him this opportunity. As the distance between him and the fallen angel is rapidly shortening, he must make a choice - now!
Without time to think carefully, Gao Jianuo gritted his teeth.

Laerinyes!

Following his choice, a faint voice suddenly rang out: "The most important thing is fairness..."

In a trance, Gao Jianuo also saw a solemn figure, holding a sword in her left hand and a scale in her right hand, flashing by in the glorious scene.

This is followed by two strings of prompt messages.

[Countermeasure: Curse of Weakness (Second Ring)]

[Target level is too high, counterattack failed]

[Curse lifted]

This result was not unexpected by Gao Jianuo. A level five named one would have a high chance of resisting the second-ring curse, and the fallen angel seemed to be about level eight.

But according to the principle of "fair curse", after the counterattack failed, the curse on him was lifted.

So Gao Jianuo's speed returned to the level of tens of meters per second, and even became faster - after all, he had been upgraded.

The distance between the two sides not only stopped shortening, but gradually widened.

A trace of doubt flashed across the fallen angel's face, and after a brief hesitation, he cast the curse again.

Then the same scene happened again.

[Achieved Status: Curse of Weakness (Three Rings)]

[Countermeasure: Curse of Weakness (Three Rings)]

[Target level is too high, counterattack failed]

[Curse lifted]

Gao Jianuo probably guessed what the fallen angel would do next.

As expected, after a moment of uncertainty in his expression, the fallen angel decided to give Gao Jianuo a big blow.

This time the casting time was significantly longer.

Then several strings of information appeared in Gao Jianuo's perception as expected.

[Achieved Status: Curse of Weakness (Five Rings)]

[Countermeasure: Curse of Weakness (Five Rings)]

【Successful countermeasure】

"Bang!" Gao Jianuo and the fallen angel fell down almost at the same time. The only difference was that the former fell into a soft mud as prepared, while the latter hit the hard stone ground headfirst. The sound was made by the latter.
