What did you do with the dice?

But the appearance is the smallest problem of this skill. Although Rusalka now has the blood recovery ability of the dragon heart, her blood volume is decreasing at a rate of 20 blood per second!

Fortunately, Rusalka is still available in the private chat channel: (Brother, my health is rapidly decreasing! 20 per second! It is much stronger than the cat!)

Sanitta wanted to say something, but after hearing Rusalka's second half, he fell silent. Because the sixth ring was locked, he could only use magic to convert a temporary sixth ring when activating [Ring Shift], which he had to release immediately. He used it to open a [Mystic Door] and first pushed the two confused elves in with the giant magician's hand. Then, after looking at Hydra who shook her head and Phoenix who entered the Shadow Plane, he followed in. (This place is too dangerous. I'm retreating first. I don't know why you don't want to go in with me to avoid the opponent's ultimate attack and come back, but I wish you happiness. Goodbye.)

Rusalka: (No, brother, the secret door can be used like this?! Why didn't you tell me earlier!)

Sunita: (Because just when I was about to say something, someone suddenly said, "Brother, don't be impatient, just watch my performance.")

Rusalka didn't care. After all, everyone had run away, and the most he would do was to be on the verge of death and break a dice: (Ah, poor Rusi! Poor Yuyu is going to be killed by you again.)

Bang! As soon as Rusalka finished speaking, his health instantly returned to zero and the dice shattered. This time he did not gain any resistance because the loss of life was caused by overdrawing magic power.

However, there was not even a moment to mourn his 11th life, as the one about to rush to the battlefield was Rusalka, who had 55 health points after his 11th resurrection.

But the magic circle was not interrupted and remained in place, and his health was deducted by 20 points the moment he was resurrected!

Rusalka was horrified: (There's a bug! Why am I still using this skill?! [Eel Transformer] hasn't even been activated!)

Sanitieta believed that this ability should be some kind of unique "power" of the true dragon species, bestowed upon it by the goddess of wealth. Therefore, it has the characteristics that it cannot be interrupted when released and will not end unless it dies completely. It is not impossible.

Although the cowardly brothers fled, the two cats were still focused on the battlefield. They rushed into the sky and tried to interrupt Garces' ultimate move with their attacks. However, when Hydra just came to Garces' side, her wings quickly withered and dimmed, and her body retreated as if she had been electrocuted. The same was true for Phoenix's black mist. As soon as it appeared, it was directly sucked into Garces' magic circle, forcing Phoenix to transform into a line and escape.

"What kind of terrifying ability is this? Just getting close will destroy your vitality!"

Hydra looked at the small tuft of hair on his forehead that had turned white with lingering fear. If it weren't for the strong vitality of the Filin people, an ordinary Filin would have a lifespan of 700 years, not to mention entering the extraordinary realm, so it wouldn't be a big deal to deduct some of it. Otherwise, if it were a human, he would have instantly turned from a young man into an old man if he had just approached.

After Rusalka died once, she unexpectedly regained the ability to speak and shouted, "You guys go! Leave this to me!"

Hydra landed beside Rusalka, shook his head, and placed a hand on his back, channeling the power of Holy Light into him. He said firmly, "I've lost so much before. I once swore that if I ever gained power, I would never again watch helplessly as everything around me slipped away! Rusalka, even though I don't like you, I'm very happy to fight alongside you."

The speed of blood loss has slowed down significantly.

Phoenix landed slowly and placed her hand on Rusalka's back. Without saying anything, she transformed Lady Shadow's power into vitality and continuously channeled it over to her.

"You guys...really..."

Although this scene is very righteous and touching, Rusalka is really at a loss for words. He really won't die.

Garces increased his output once again, and Rusalka's health, which had stabilized, dropped rapidly again. Sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two cats, but they could not stop the speed of Rusalka's life slipping away, and the twelfth life soon passed away.

【Life Ferry has been activated.】

Click.

Another dice shattered gently, and a small trickle of life-giving water dripped into the dry body.

【"Twelve Trials" has been activated.】

The water droplets instantly turned into a roaring and rushing river!

[390 health points restored, 12 triple-ring positions, all dice rolls at maximum value.]

[All previous resistances have been superimposed. ]

Rusalka increased her health loss rate again and shouted at Garces in the sky, "Damn it! You're going to fight me to grow? You found the right guy!"

"You are just an inferior creature. How can your vitality compare to mine, who is favored by the goddess!" Garces spat out the red orb he had just swallowed. The orb actually emitted a golden light, merged into the orange-red beam, and slowly moved forward, then touched Rusalka's beam.

Rusalka felt as if something in his body was being sucked away through the beam of light. An unprecedented sense of fatigue arose from his body. He felt weakness in his limbs, soreness in his hands and feet, pain in his waist and legs, and he felt drowsy and listless. The aura of aging permeated every cell of his body.

This was the first time since crossing over that Rusalka had personally sensed such a strong "negative state" with the help of skills.

【The enemy has activated "The Blessing of the Goddess of Fortune."】

But the next moment, he seemed to have regained his youth and became full of energy again.

【You have activated the "Blessing of the Lord of Time."】

Rusalka heard the voice coming from the void again, a female scream of embarrassment and anger, and a magnetic and gentle male laugh.

"This is impossible, you...you actually!!!"

"I don't know what happened, but you must die!"

Rusalka directly invested 300 blood, and his beam of light suddenly expanded, swallowing up Garces' beam and covering his body.

“No!!! Goddess, why is this happening!!!”

He screamed and aged instantly under the influence of the beam. His scales fell off and disintegrated, and his muscular dragon body shrank and eventually became a skin and bones body, and finally turned into ashes and dissipated.

Phew—although the final battle process was not as dramatic as imagined, I, Rusalka, was still the victor!

Just when Rusalka breathed a sigh of relief, Phoenix's eyes rolled back and she and Hydra fell to the ground unconscious at the same time.

The ordinary laughter that Rusalka had just heard turned into an indescribable whisper of terror in their ears, which directly shattered their spirits and made them faint.

Rusalka hurriedly turned around and cast the Paladin's three-ring [Resurrection] to heal them. Next to the red round bead in the air that was still intact after being baptized by the light beam, a small portal opened. With a long sigh, a dragon claw stretched out from it, and was about to grab the round bead.

When the crane and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?

But the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

The holy light on the Sun Guardian that Hydra had thrown aside suddenly shattered, and a beam of white light shot up into the sky!

Chapter 248 I jump directly onto the table and eat!

The white beam of light that rushed out from Hydra's shield hit the red bead directly, knocking it several feet upwards, and then quickly changed into a white rune in the air. This rune was exactly the same as the rune that Theresa had drawn on the ground that Rusalka had seen in Sicily. Then, like a dragon's claw, a jade-white forearm popped out from it, and the five green fingers curled up in the palm, turning into a small hand claw that looked very cute in contrast on this cruel battlefield, grabbing the red bead.

The dragon claw that had grasped nothing was naturally unwilling to be outdone. It extended a finger and unleashed a golden light with countless small runes flowing inside. It shot forward with a force comparable to Rusalka's ultimate move, attempting to shatter the small hand and the runes together. "Theresa, you dare to rely on the favor of the God Light and the Goddess of Joy to rob the artifact left by our Goddess of Wealth! Are you prepared to be burned to ashes by my wrath?"

The pink barrier swallowed up the golden light, and Theresa's chuckle rang out from it. "Don't say that! You sound like you can leave Dragon Island. Back then, when you and the War God's followers colluded with each other, cutting off my escape route and supplies, yet letting me survive, didn't you realize this?"

Just as they were fighting, an invisible wizard's hand suddenly appeared beside the bead, grabbed the bead, and flew downwards.

It turned out that when Rusalka reported that he had captured it, Sanita had already secretly passed through the portal - he believed that Garces must have the power of faith or something else important, such as the red bead, and Theresa would definitely not miss this opportunity, which was why he deliberately did not bring Ai Li with him.

He knew the habits of dragons very well. Although most of the dragons who believed in the Goddess of Wealth had an almost fanatical collecting habit and would be unable to extricate themselves from plundering precious treasures, they had a more serious hamster syndrome than Rusalka and would only hoard treasures in their own homes for appreciation.

They will never allow anyone, not even their own kind, to touch these things. What's more extreme is that if they are asked to carry or even use these treasures, it is almost as difficult as asking them to die. Therefore, except for those dragons who are not believers of the Goddess of Wealth, basically most dragons will not use their collections in battle. This is also a very inexplicable character that reduces their own combat power. Unlike humans, once their lives are in danger, they would rather throw their underwear out in exchange for their lives.

Because of this, Sanita immediately determined that no matter how rare the red bead that Garces took out and swallowed was, it was definitely not his "trophy". In this case, the possibilities were very limited.

Just grab it first!

But there was a problem. The usually upright Ai Li this time went against common sense and stayed behind to treat the wounded. This kind of situation, which should have made everyone feel that things were going smoothly, instead aroused deep suspicion in Sanita. He didn't believe that Theresa would be unprepared, so there was only one possibility - that is, she probably had a backup plan for Hydra.

Therefore, the spell he had specially prepared before was not the kind of damaging magic that Rusalka imagined, which would hit Garces on the head and turn it into ashes, but this indigenous high-level magic [Hand of the Void Mage] that could not be detected at all.

[Hand of the Void Mage]: This magic is an advanced variant of the "Hand of the Mage", with 11 Strength, 14 AC and half the caster's HP. When the Mage's Hand does not physically collide with the "entity" of the main plane, it is judged to be in the [Void] plane and cannot be touched or observed by non-entities. This inability to observe is not unobservable in the sense of "optics" or "smell". Even [True Sight] cannot make it visible.

He was very confident that Rusalka could defeat the opponent, just as he had always said before: I can't beat Brother Lai in a fight, but I can't beat him in strategy!

However, the dragon claws and the white little hands that stretched out from the white magic circle would not let Sani Iron Tower succeed, but quickly grabbed towards the bead. The exposed magician's hand was obviously no match for them, and after pulling the bead down for a distance, it was dispelled by the combined magic fluctuations.

But this had already delayed enough time. The moment Sanita appeared, he shouted into the private chat channel: (Rusalka, go grab that bead!)

Rusalka looked back and saw the bead in the air and the wizard's hand that was about to be dispelled. She immediately flapped her wings and took off on the spot. She threw the sword in her hand towards the bead, then activated the Phantom Step and teleported onto the sword. She reached out to the falling bead and was about to grab the bead first.

At this moment, the little white hand pointed at Rusalka, and a pink magic circle locked Rusalka's arm. The latter felt that her arm seemed to be "suddenly out of control" and twisted back by itself.

Damn bad woman, you want to steal my things just by sending a hand?

If you at least show me a little ice cream tip, then maybe I'll consider it a little.

What should I do if I'm controlled? Don't panic, I still have [Eel Transformer]!

Feeling that the uncontrollable Qilin arm had become obedient again, Rusalka reached out directly.

"Where did you come from, little bug, Fesseln (bind)"

"Oh my, little knight, I won't let you out with this~ Lock of Light."

Two brown and white chains suddenly appeared on Rusalka's body, tying his hands behind his back.

Damn, two against one playing Landlord, right?

But the Eel Transformer can only be used once per round. Seeing that Rusalka was about to fall and miss the chance to fight for it, the dragon claws and Theresa's little hands turned against each other again. Both sides began to show their magical powers and sucked the beads with an unknown force.

The beads began to tremble violently and were pulled back and forth by both sides, and it seemed that they were evenly matched for a while.

Theresa seemed to be getting a little impatient. She gently hooked her little finger inward, and a faint black mist emerged from her fingertips and slowly seeped into the orb in the air.

At this moment, a third unexpected blood-red portal opened in the void.

An elegant man's voice rang out, and he chuckled, "A hero who personally slew the dragon deserves his share of the spoils. It would be a shame to have them snatched away midway. Let me help you."

A blood-colored ray shot out from the small blood-colored round hole and directly hit the round ball that was being pulled in the air, knocking it out of control and falling towards Rusalka again. The blood-colored energy still wrapped around the small ball, preventing it from being interfered with by the two forces. However, facing the two small hands and dragon claws that were grabbing at her like a shadow, Rusalka's hands were still locked at this moment, and she had no way to catch the ball.

But of course this is not the end. As the saying goes, help others to the end and send Buddha to the west. The people behind the blood-red portal seem to be well aware of the principle of being helpful. After boosting the small ball, the blood-red ray actually split into an undetectable strand and hit Rusalka's body.

Rusalka felt that his whole body was suddenly filled with an unprecedented sense of power, and he felt that he was omnipotent. He even violated the laws of physics and stepped on the greatsword in the air with no support at all, made a double jump, and suddenly rushed towards the red ball with his head.

Even though he had the ability to control his emotions, Rusalka felt a surge of inexplicable anger rising within him. A violent thought immediately took over his mind:

I'm so pissed! The loot I got from the boss was stolen by someone else, right? Damn it, if I can't have it, then no one else should have it! I'd rather smash it than give it to you!

Just as two hands flew over to grab the red ball, Rusalka, who was closest to the ball, opened his mouth as wide as he could, took half of the red ball in his mouth, and then bit it hard with his teeth! He wanted to see which was harder, the ball or the teeth that had the highest damage to the dice.

As a result, the red ball, which was thought to be very hard, was actually bitten into half by Rusalka. The upper and lower teeth even hit each other so hard that a drop of Rusalka's blood was deducted. But this was not the key point. The key point was that he really did not react in time, and as a result, he accidentally swallowed half of the ball whole.

The remaining half was torn into a quarter by each hand and pulled back into their respective portals.

The Sunny Tower was dumbfounded watching from below. What kind of operation is this: (Are you really not picky about food?)

Rusalka was also startled, and was glad she didn't choke on it: (No, man, I just wanted to hold it in my mouth, but it seemed a bit like a Dove copy. It was so silky smooth, it slid straight into my stomach! But it's okay, I'll probably poop it out tomorrow... No, wait, it seems we can't poop? Haha, so we are perfect girl idols?)

After the beads were divided up, the three portals slowly closed. Some were happy, some were worried, and one was smiling leisurely.

Bloody Portal: "Haha, Pearl Tear Knight, go become stronger, and then let's meet in Alice City."

Golden Portal: "Arrogant human, damned lackey of the God of Light, and you...you treacherous fellow, you will soon learn the price of provoking the Goddess of Fortune and the dragon!"

White Portal: "Thank you very much, little knight. Please come to the cathedral when you are free. I will personally prepare a thank you gift for you, okay?~"

As the portal closed, everything disappeared, as if the battle had never happened.

After Rusalka fell to the ground, she touched her stomach and looked at the system prompt.

Fortunately, apart from a few [Exemption Failed] prompts, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Rusalka was so proud of her sudden inspiration that she immediately made a bad joke: (Hahaha, what? I'm laughing at Garces's lack of wisdom and the Goddess of Wealth's lack of strategy. If this was the artifact I gave her, I'd set up fingerprint and facial recognition dual keys on it. 8848 Ultimate Artifact, automatically explodes if the person and the machine are separated by ten meters.)

"Interesting! You actually devoured my divine weapon at all costs just to gain power. I'm very satisfied with your greed. How about becoming my believer?"

Rusalka couldn't laugh anymore: (What the hell? A woman's voice sounded in my head! She's trying to mind control me!)

Sanita: (I didn’t hear anything.)

【Your greedy behavior has won the favor of the goddess of wealth. 】

【You have received the blessing of the Goddess of Wealth. 】

No, sister, did your blessing express come from "Open the door, Dongfeng Express!"? Can't I refuse it? Don't I have the right to refuse blessings?

[Blessing of the Goddess of Fortune: Your luck increases by 30 points (but cannot exceed the upper limit).]

He finally had something that actually gave him points, but it ended up causing him to lose so completely. It was another completely useless blessing, Chao!

Rusalka was furious: Shi!!!

But he soon realized that some "blessings" not only had no positive effects, but also brought negative effects.

[In addition, you will develop an extreme desire and dependence on "wealth", and you will acquire a permanent "Dragon Syndrome" state.]

[Dragon Syndrome]: People with this syndrome will develop a greedy desire for items that they perceive as having "high value" equal to their "perceived value." Every time they see the item, they need to pass a DC 25 Perception saving throw. If the saving throw fails, they will develop an "intense desire" proportional to the value of the item in their perception. You will do whatever it takes to get the item, and not being able to get it will make you think about it day and night, unable to sleep!

You will refuse anyone from getting their hands on your treasures. The more deeply you are affected by the "Dragon Syndrome", the more times you fail your saves, or your actions succumb to the Dragon Syndrome, your [Alignment], [Race], and [Faith] will gradually shift, and you may even be completely reborn and become a "true dragon".

【Note: It's my precious! ! ! 】

Rusalka: It's over. The dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon. Now I will become a dragon! The cat is mine, mine!!!

[Your "Outsider" talent is activated, making you immune to negative mental effects, and your "Dragon Syndrome" effect is negated.]

Rusalka: Oh, then it seems I have nothing to do. Human bloodline is invincible in the world!

System, the noblest exemption!

As a result, this [Blessing of the Goddess of Wealth] has almost no effect. Congratulations to Rusalka for collecting another gym badge.

Rusalka will feel disappointed if she gets useless blessings once, twice or thrice.

But this is the fourth time, I'm getting used to it. And maybe there's a hidden effect? ​​Previously, the Lifespan bonus from [Time Lord] seemed pretty useless, but this time it countered the opponent's Lifespan Stealing build. It's a testament to the fact that everyone has their uses. Maybe in the future, I'll encounter a build that'll just bring me bad luck and deduct 30 points of Luck. Wouldn't that be the point where [Goddess of Fortune]'s blessing comes in handy?

When everything was settled, Rusalka, who was completely out of combat, lost the five stolen abilities, and her original abilities were returned. The specialty characteristics of [Twelve Trials] also disappeared because they had been triggered.
