Durkan's Secret of Pain

As if they were gradually emerging from the shadows, two figures slowly emerged from the corner of the corridor and became more and more distinct.

One of the terrifying giant figures was the faceless man surrounded by four masks.

The other companion was a small, thin man.

"Hehe..."

The dark and strange laughter echoed in the corridor.

They officially met Durkan and Cornelia in the corridor.

Durkan and Cornelia had no intention of fleeing and were prepared to fight them to the end.

"You can keep the girl, but will have to kill the boy."

"Okay."

After a brief exchange, the faceless man not to attack immediately.

Instead, the thin man raised his hand.

Several cards appeared on his palm, and then his other hand passed over the cards one by one, triggering them all.

Suddenly, black fog and shadows filled the corridor, and the floor was wet, as if it had turned into a poisonous swamp.

As the eerie wind swept over them, Durkan and Cornelia felt their bodies become extremely sour, and their breathing also became heavier.

Then their eyes went black and they felt a sharp pain that spread from their internal organs to their skin.

These cards are obviously poison and curse types.

Durkan and Cornelia not only felt a decrease in all their properties, but were also constantly damaged.

But, the expression on the thin man's face soon became strange.

He felt an indescribable pain in his body which made him unstable for a moment.

He could not explain the principle.

It was as if he had been cursed at the same time.

"Damn, someone dared to curse me!"

Durkan was so angry that he laughed a little and summoned the ruined poet without hesitation.

Suddenly, the 6-fold pain feedback turned into 60-fold.

The thin man could only feel that his body was being pierced by countless sharp swords, and his already bulging eyes were as big as copper bells.

He opened his mouth wide and his throat made a hoarse sound as if it was rubbing uncontrollably.

Afterwards, he fell to the ground like a puppet whose strings had broken, and his life or death was unknown.

When Cornelia made sure that the thin man had been lose consciousnessed, she immediately pulled out a third-level [Group Purification] and lifted the curse on herself and Durkan.

Since the second-class Durkan could not use third-level spell cards, he bought a special card with a third-level cleansing spell before he left and put it on Cornelia in case of emergency.

Anti-poison, anti-spell and anti-control.

The faceless man narrowed his eyes and stared at the summoned creature behind Durkan, paying no attention to his fallen companions.

"Young man, give me your epic card and I will let you live."

Said the faceless man coldly and with a madness in his eyes that could not be hidden.

He wanted Durkan's card too much.

It's just a shame that you can not get epic cards by killing people.

Once an epic or legendary card is soulbound, it will not unlock automatically even if the user dies unless the user actively unlocks it.

If the user is killed, the epic card also breaks and disappears.

This is why epic cards are so rare today.

Not all epic cards are passed on smoothly.

Many are lost in the shadow world and die with their owners.

"Hehehe."

When Durkan heard the faceless man's suggestion, he seemed amused by it.

That's way to trick a three-year-old child.

But Durkan still wanted to tease the faceless man, so he asked, "If I give you this epic card, will you let us go?"

"Hoho, of course..."

"Attack directly!"

Without waiting for the faceless man to finish speaking, Durkan shouted.

He charged towards the faceless man at the same time as Cornelia.

Just one hammer is enough to knock him out rely on 20 times the pain!

"Then you better die."

The faceless man's tone was full of warning.

Although Durkan and Cornelia were on a lower level than him, the epic card with unknown effect was too threatening.

The Faceless Man used the Mask of Evil Spirit to protect himself, backed away slightly and summoned three fifth level summons in one breath to attack Durkan and Cornelia.

Although fifth level summons are far less powerful than fifth level warriors.

But the large number of summons still gives an equally powerful warrior a headache!

Summoning a group of fifth level summons to besiege a fourth level opponent is absolutely oppressive!

He summoned three [Multiform Aliens] - strange and twisted beasts with painful human faces.

The effect of this fifth-level summon is immune to hard control, and it has high health and a high attack value.

It is difficult to control and kill, leaving humans weaker than itself no chance at all.

"Your mechanism is too obvious. As long as I do not attack the boy, the dizziness will not return to me, and you can not deal with my summons."

Mumbled the faceless man, his eyes filled with mockery.

But then.

"Bang!"

Cornelia

knocked down a [Multifaceted Alien] with a hammer.

Then she began to fight with the two other multiform strangers.

The multiform stranger, who fell to the ground, whimpered in pain.

Before he got up, Cornelia took the opportunity to hit him again so that he almost lost consciousness.

After a brief confrontation, the two other multiform strangers seemed afraid to touch Cornelia.

As long as their attacks hit Cornelia, they became extremely painful and her movements became stiff.

The faceless man: "???"

What kind of dizziness control is this?

Can it control the multiform alien?!

No! This is no joke!

The faceless man stared at the ruined poet behind Durkan, analyzed frantically and soon guessed the situation.

The epic card behind Durkan, which has a strength beyond common sense, not only provides a simple control effect bonus, but a pain bonus!

Durkan and Cornelia's equipment must also have effects such as pain return and pain amplification!

What a new cult this is!

Even the Faceless One, a member of the Church of Resurrection, could not help but curse out loud.

But.

He quickly calmed down again.

The solution for this system is also very simple.

The enemy's core and command tower are too obvious.

And the pain feedback cannot be returned to the master via the summon!

As long as the faceless man does not use his own body to attack Durkan, he will be invincible!

So if you use summons to attack Durkan and the Ruined Poet, you only need to lose two or at most three summons, and you will definitely be able to attacked Durkan and the Ruined Poet!

So without the Destroyed Poet bonus, Cornelia had nothing to worry about.

"Let us see how long you can last."

The Faceless One drew two more Summon cards, originally intended for close-range protection, and ordered them to bypass Cornelia and attack Durkan.

Even though all the summons were afraid of Cornelia's hammer, Cornelia tried to block them all, but four was still too much.

Durkan frowned, quickly retreated with the Ruined Poet and ran to the other end of the corridor.

The weaknesses of him and the Ruined Poet were that they were too fragile and could not be attacked by the enemy.

In order to protect Durkan, Cornelia forcibly blocked the summoned creature.

"Hold on, fight!" (We can not hold out any longer, we have to fight him!)

Believing that the battle line would collapse, she called out to Durkan.

Her idea was she could stop blocking the summoned and attack the faceless man to take him out.

"No!"

Durkan stopped him immediately.

The faceless man might have had some protection cards he had not used yet.

It was too risky to act rashly.

It was possible that Durkan, who was behind him, would be hit first, and Cornelia still not hit the Faceless Man .

If they wanted to win, they had to take the Faceless One down in one hit.

Durkan had to give Cornelia the opportunity!

And Durkan was already preparing for that opportunity.

He needed a little time to fully master this move, which he had never shown anyone before.

"Wait, face, counter, power!" (Wait until I give you an opportunity. Also, the mask next to him has a counter-injury effect. Watch the power when you hit him!)

Durkan passed the tactic on to Cornelia.

Cornelia: "I understand!"

Earlier in the corridor, all the damage from Durkan's hydrogen blast was blocked by the evil spirit's mask.

As a trigger, Durkan realized that he had received damage back.

From this, he concluded that the mask had the ability to repel damage.

The reason Durkan had not gotten much damage back was because of the card's unique damage assessment principle [Hydrogen Explosion].

The damage is mainly divided into two parts. The first part is a first-order fireball. The purpose of this fireball is not to hit the enemy directly, but to provide ignition.

The second part is the explosion damage caused by the ignition of hydrogen.

The source of the ignition damage caused by the first stage can be regarded as the releaser of this card.

However, the second explosion caused later has no source of damage.

The card " Hydrogen Explosion" therefore has another use, namely to test whether the opponent has equipment with rebound damage!

Durkan didn't want Cornelia to get herself seriously injured due to the rebound of damage.

As long as the faceless man passes out from the pain, that's enough.

The faceless man could not help but laugh when he saw Cornelia and Durkan in such a mess.

"Hahaha! I thought you were that powerful?"

"As long as I do not hit you, you are a useless person who can not fight back!"

"Give me the epic card now, maybe I can cause you less pain before you die!"

The more he understood the effect of Ruined Poet, the more the Faceless One coveted this core card of the new pain system.

However, he saw that Durkan was unmoved, full of rage that he had nowhere to vent, and so he could only continue to taunt.

"Even if you are a pain system that focuses on controlling effects, if you meet me, you will not have any room to use!"

"You're still too naive to play with curses in my presence!"

The faceless man opened his arms, and the muscles in his face under the gauze seemed to twitch strangely, and he laughed wildly.

"Hehe."

Durkan's eyes were extremely cold, and his eyes were as deep as the bottom of the sea, darker than black.

He looked at the faceless man as if he were looking at a fool.

"Your stupidity is truly ridiculous."

"I am the founder of the pain system."

Durkan muttered to himself in a barely perceptible voice.

He seemed to have finally prepared something and called out to Cornelia, "Wait, knock!" (Wait until I've him under control, then you go and hit him!)

"Okay!"

Cornelia's voice sounded a little excited.

Durkan's Secret of Pain is finally ready.

It's time to show the true meaning of the "pain system".

He lowered his head, covered his chest and seemed to repeat something over and over again, his voice gradually getting louder and louder.

"Cornelia was injured to help me fend off the enemy's attack. It's all my fault. I'm so heartbroken and guilty..."

Durkan hypnotized himself like a madman.

"Why fight, why loot, why target us just because we're friendly... I'm angry!"

Durkan felt more and more depressed, and his negative emotions were about to reach their peak.

"I can't win, there's no hope, why am I so weak, I hate my powerlessness so much!!!"

Durkan leaned forward and clutched his clothes as if he couldn't breathe from grief.

"Guilt! Anger! Despair!"

"Pain! It hurts so much!"

"Faceless man, it's all your fault!!!"

"All my pain is caused by you!!!"

As Durkan lifted his head and looked at the faceless man, he shouted the last sentence.

The faceless man suddenly felt his heart leap as if it had been hit and crushed by a thousand-pound stone in an instant.

Then there was an indescribable pain that seemed to tear his heart apart.

He covered his chest in pain.

For a moment, the Faceless One regretted having been born human.

Then he knelt on the ground and uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of dirty blood that stained his veil brown-red like rusty iron.

The Summons without the real-time instructions of their masters, they became much slower.

At the same time, Cornelia also took the opportunity to break through the encirclement of the summoned creatures.

"Why can you... Feel pain?! I obviously didn't hurt you!!!"

The faceless man's voice trembled and he looked at Durkan in disbelief.

"You made me sad!"

Durkan shouted confidently.

Sadness is also pain, heartbreak is also pain.

Even if Durkan's heartbreak is the result of his self-hypnosis, which infinitely intensifies the negative feelings in his heart.

The ultimate secret of pain flows 60 times heartbreak attack!

The only downside to this trick is that it requires self-hypnosis and cast time too long.

"Poof!"

Hearing Durkan's words, the faceless man couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

This mouthful of blood was spat out in anger.

He had never seen such a shameless guy!

Damn him! How could he do that!!!

But at that moment, Cornelia's heavy hammer had already arrived in front of him.

The faceless man looked at the hammer, which was getting bigger and bigger in front of him, and before he could become frightened, he lost consciousness.

With a "bang", the faceless man was smashed against the wall and fainted.

All the summoned creatures disappeared.

She followed Durkan's instructions and didn't use all her strength. She only used a quarter of her power to hit the faceless man's head.

This hammer was enough to knock the faceless man unconscious.

So the rebound of damage she suffered was not serious.

"Huh, it's really over this time."

Cornelia held her head in pain and sat on the ground without standing firmly.

In the distance, Durkan also breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was very tired, and smiled helplessly.

In the messy corridor of the Demon Academy, the two looked at each other from a distance and their eyes met.

A knowing smile.

This is take a tacit understanding between him/her.
