Death… And Me Chapter 1154 - I Need Him At All Costs

Chapter 1154 - I Need Him At All Costs

"A-Attack him! Kill him immediately!"

Gala and the other three were taken aback by Hedoi's sudden shriek. However, they knew something bad happened when Hedoi connected his marionette threads with Roan.

They all took their weapons and immediately charged at Roan.

Rean smiled in response, knowing what Roan was doing before he took his Black Star out. "Stop them! We can win this fight now that Roan is holding their leader back!"

Samanta, Regio, and Milina didn't know what was happening, but they could only grit their teeth and attack as well. However, they couldn't help but think, 'So what if their leader is caught? The other four are definitely stronger than us. Rean is the only one who can possibly fight one of them on equal grounds.'

Indeed, Gala and the others felt enraged to hear Rean telling his teammates to stop them. "Hmph! I want to see how you four will stop us. Die already!"

However, what Gala and his companions didn't expect was that at that moment, Hedoi took out his weapon and attacked his own team from behind instead!

*Swish, swish, swish!*

Hedoi's sword moved too quickly and was way too sudden! Besides, even if they noticed Hedoi charging to attack, they simply thought that he would attack Rean's team anyway. The possibility of Hedoi attacking them didn't even pa.s.s through their heads!

That wasn't all. Rean knew that Roan had control over Hedoi. To make sure that Hedoi's companions didn't notice, he immediately shouted those words. It was all so that no one would see the moment Roan acted while controlling Hedoi instead. Obviously, Rean wanted to keep the rest of the enemies' attention on his group.

In the end, Hedoi forced two of his member's protective devices to activate so that they wouldn't die! The battle started just a few seconds ago, but two of Klacks Country's people were already out!

Samanta, Regio, and Milina were as dumbfounded as Gala and his other remaining companion. However, they noticed the incredible chance that appeared before them and charged with even more vigor at their enemies!

With Hedoi, Rean, Regio, Milina, and Samanta attacking together, those two guys had no chance of victory, so they immediately tried to escape. Unfortunately for them, only Gala succeeded in leaving the encirclement. The other one died from the focused a.s.sault, without having a chance to break out at all!

Eventually, Gala disappeared in the darkness while Roan gave his order. "Leave him be. This battle is already over."

Milina, Regio, and Samanta immediately nodded and looked at Roan. No, to be more specific, they were looking at Hedoi, who had a terrible expression on his face. It was obvious that he did all of that against his own will.

Roan then snorted at him, saying, "You truly are an idiot. No, I guess it's wrong to say that. After all, if it wasn't me, this technique of yours would indeed be very effective. Today I learned a lot."

Samanta couldn't help but ask, "What did you do? How come he was the one to be controlled and not you?"

Roan didn't mind explaining as he knew Hedoi had already figured out what he did. "His Marionette Control used threads of Yin and Dark Energy to control the opponent. These threads are extremely thin, so they're hard to see. Anyways, they will pierce through your meridians' entrances and take control of the nerves that control your body. The threads do that by using Dark Element to cut your own connection to those body parts."

"However, to do that, Hedoi has to do the same with himself. Although it looks like he was using his hands, in fact, the threads that a.s.saulted me are coming from all the meridians' entrances over his body. They are connected to the same nerves that he tried to cut my connection with."

Roan then looked at Hedoi before continuing, "Unfortunately for him, the one who controls the other depends on who's better at controlling both Yin Energy and Dark Element. He probably thought that no one else in this recruitment would be better than him. At most, he would find someone with a similar level of control. If that was the case, the technique would be canceled, and he would need to fight with other skills, so it was a safe bet if you'd ask me."

"Obviously, I'm better than him. Isn't that right, Hedoi?" Roan asked while patting Hedoi's shoulder. Hearing Roan's words, saying that he was better made Hedoi almost vomit blood. However, he couldn't do so as he was still being controlled.

Roan continued, "Of course, even if you aren't better than Hedoi in these two requisites, you can still avoid being controlled. For example, cutting the threads as I did would be enough as long as you can see where to hit them. Or perhaps generate a small Divine Energy barrier, impeding the threads from pa.s.sing through. As I said, the threads are very thin and hard to detect, which means they are also very weak. Any run-of-the-mill protection that can cover your entire body is enough to stop it."

Rean understood after that. "No wonder they came at us as quickly as they did. It had nothing to do with the environment, although the environment really helped them. It was all so that Hedoi could take us with our guards down and control our bodies."

Samanta, Regio, and Milina were really impressed by that.

Well, they weren't the only ones. Gille, back in the guest hall, also watched this match, and so did most of the people there. Seeing Roan reveal the secrets of Hedoi's abilities made him feel horrible. That was one of the secret techniques of the Blood Path. Not many people were supposed to know about its flaws. Well, the first flaw where one had to have better control over Dark Element and Yin Energy didn't matter much. After all, their top disciples would always be in that position of best control. The problem was the information about any barrier being enough to stop it.

However, he quickly calmed down before looking at Roan with greed in his eyes, thinking to himself, 'I need him at all costs.'
