Chapter 801: 798, Two Cecilias
Cecilia was a Seventh Order legendary fighter, so why was she lying on the floor of her own guild hall, covered in blood?
Who had ambushed her?
Su Yu’s heart tightened slightly as he quickly bent down to check her injuries.
Cecilia’s complexion was cyanotic, devoid of any color, and her eyes were tightly closed; her facial expression revealed extreme pain.
She was dressed in a black, form-fitting leather armor, with half of her body enveloped in black smoke.
The leather armor around her abdomen seemed to have been struck, becoming torn and tattered as fresh blood spurted from her abdominal cavity, quickly staining the floor of the hall red.
It was precisely because of her grave injuries that her inner strength uncontrollably escaped her body’s confines and spread into the surrounding air, forming pitch-black energy phantasms.
Su Yu activated his magic to use the “Ice Sealing Skill” and froze her wound.
Aside from him, those present were essentially assassins, with no priests, druids, or shamans of the healing professions available, so this was the only treatment they could manage for the time being.
At the same time, he looked around at the NPCs and players, asking, “Everyone, what just happened here?”
“We have no idea,” a confused Fourth Order player replied while scratching his head, “Everything was fine just a moment ago, then the guild leader suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.”
“Right.”
“Exactly.”
“Did the guild leader get attacked?”
“To injure a legendary leader with a single strike, it must have been a God Level assassin, right?”
The surrounding players and NPCs engaged in continuous discussion.
Hearing the discussions around him, Su Yu shook his head secretly, “No, it wasn’t a God Level assassin’s doing.”
From his understanding, there were no assassins among the 15 God Level beings in the main plane of the game world. There were some in other planes, but Cecilia had no grudges with them, so why would they need to strike her down so ruthlessly?
Noticing that Cecilia was not yet completely unconscious, Su Yu leaned closer to her ear and gently asked, “Cecilia, do you know who ambushed you?”
Cecilia lying on the ground seemed to muster some strength, barely opening her mouth to say, “It was Cao… Cao…”
Having spoken, her head tilted, and she completely lost consciousness.
…
Although Cecilia had named her attacker, Su Yu had not fully understood her.
Possibly due to the severity of her injury, when Cecilia said the name “Cao Cao,” she pronounced both “Cao” and “Cao” with the same tone as “grass.”
Hence, all Su Yu heard was “Grass… Grass…”
Grass? What grass?
Is it a hasty conclusion? A hasty end?
What exactly was Cecilia trying to say?
The surrounding NPCs and players also began to discuss quietly:
“Grass? What does that mean?”
“Could it be that some kind of plant-based warcraft is responsible?”
“Grass…why do I get the feeling it’s a curse word?”
“‘Grass’ is slang in our dialect for something indescribable; could it be that the guild leader wanted Boss Ke to do something indescribable to her… That makes some sense when you think about it!”
Su Yu paid no attention to the players’ wild speculations.
It wouldn’t have mattered if she couldn’t understand the meaning behind the words, after all, Cecilia was only severely injured, not yet at the brink of death.
Simply getting her treated, and once she fully recovered, everything would become clear.
Su Yu told the surrounding NPCs and players, then cast the “Teleportation Circle” spell, and teleported the severely injured Cecilia to the nearest church nearby.
…
…
The scene shifts back to Skru Star, to the western part of the untamed continent known as “The End’s Secret Realm”.
The vicinity of “The End’s Secret Realm” was a battlefield, with the Skrull people and the native Demon Beast Group attacking each other, all vying for the most advantageous terrain to facilitate the entry of their kin into the secret realm.
However, right in the middle of the fierce battle, the Skru God Level powerful being, Cecilia, lay unconscious on the ground, her abdomen oozing a steady stream of fresh blood, her condition critically dire.
If Su Yu were here, he would have been shocked to find that the Cecilia lying on the ground with severe injuries was in the exact same position and had identical wounds as the Cecilia inside the game!
Apart from their appearances (one with green skin of the Skrull people, the other with light purple skin of the Dark Night Elves), the two were virtually indistinguishable, as if carved from the same mold.
…
But since Su Yu was not present, no one noticed the anomaly with Cecilia.
Now, the other five Skru God Level beings formed a circle around Cecilia, protecting her from the attacks of the Demon Beast Group and enemies present at the scene.
Manina III, leading them, stared daggers at Prime Minister Cao Cao, who hovered in the sky opposite him, and said angrily, “Cao Cao! You really did make a move! Just wait, from now on, we will not let any Blue Star cultivator enter the secret realm!”
“As you wish.” Standing in the sky, Prime Minister Cao Cao replied expressionlessly, “But I still have to state that it was Cecilia who attacked first, and I was forced to strike back. I certainly am not as shameless as you are!”
The real situation was not that Prime Minister Cao Cao suddenly turned and launched a surprise attack on a Skru God Level; it was that just moments ago, Cecilia used a special spell in an attempt to snatch his [The Hilt of the Sword of Thousand Precepts].
Cecilia’s spellcasting was successful.
Orange-yellow threads flew out from her palm and instantly stuck to the hilt of the sword; in the blink of an eye, Prime Minister Cao Cao nearly lost control of it!
Had Prime Minister Cao Cao lost control of the hilt, he would have had only one fate—death, right here!
Fortunately, his bond with the hilt was strong.
In the past few months, there hadn’t been a day he didn’t study the hilt, communicating and bonding with it, forming a certain connection between them.
So the moment Cecilia tried to snatch the hilt, Prime Minister Cao Cao instantly reacted and together with the hilt, broke free from those orange-yellow threads.
Seeing the hilt almost taken away, Prime Minister Cao Cao was naturally furious.
He swung the hilt in retaliation, and with a backhand strike, a pale blue sword light spanned the distance of tens of meters and struck Cecilia’s abdomen in an instant, leaving her severely injured.
Originally, both sides intended to cooperate with each other to compete for the spots in “The End’s Secret Realm”.
After this incident, however, they immediately turned against each other without mercy.
Prime Minister Cao Cao stood in the air and continued coldly, “Since you show no kindness, do not blame me for my lack of righteousness!
From now on, don’t let me see any Skrull people of Sixth Order attempting to enter the secret realm. I see one, I kill one, without mercy!”
Having said that, Prime Minister Cao Cao activated the “One Leaf Blinding” spell, completely vanishing from sight in the air.
…
Watching the figure of Prime Minister Cao Cao disappear, the five Skru God Level beings’ faces turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
From Manina III’s standpoint, he really did intend to cooperate with Prime Minister Cao Cao. After all, the competition for “The End’s Secret Realm” would be fiercer, and Pu Langte had not yet returned from Sun City.
But who could have predicted that Cecilia would suddenly make her move and try to snatch Cao Cao’s hilt!
Now they had failed to get the hilt, Cecilia was also gravely injured and unconscious, the situation was indeed very grim.
What do you think?
