Chapter 939: Chapter 708: The Resurrecting Brothers
Landers had originally thought that the brothers, Kausen and Kauk, would at least ask him before they made their move: Long Yi had already killed a Soro, weren’t they worried at all? To his surprise, the two brothers had spent half a month playing around, never once inquiring about Long Yi. And today they suddenly wanted to kill Long Yi out of the blue?
"You’re not joking, are you?" Landers asked.
"Of course not, ever since we came here, we’ve tried all the good food and fun activities. Today we’re just too bored, so our only choice was to amuse ourselves by killing Long Yi," Kausen said.
"But you’ve never even asked me about Long Yi," Landers said, frowning.
"Asking you in advance would influence our combat experience. When facing a new enemy, we should watch with our own eyes," Kauk said.
Landers was left speechless! But in his heart, he had already labeled the two men: idiots!
You’re going to kill someone! Not thoroughly understanding someone is one thing, but not even paying attention to the general details? Long Yi’s combat style is extremely diverse, most people would want to remember every one of Long Yi’s combat skills to counter them. Yet here you are, actually afraid of knowing!
"You don’t need to worry. After all, no matter how strong Long Yi is, he can’t kill us. And eventually, his combat skills will run out, right?" Kausen patted Landers, then the two of them walked away nonchalantly, even leaving without their weapons.
Landers’ eyes twitched, but he didn’t follow them. Not long after, Kausen came back by himself.
"Where’s Kauk?" Landers asked.
"Dead," Kausen said indifferently.
"Dead? How did he die?" Landers’s eyes widened.
"Didn’t really see it clearly, he died in a blink of an eye," Kausen said, swinging his hands continuously as he spoke. Magic runes kept flashing, and after a moment, Kauk actually materialized out of thin air.
"Oh my god, that scared me to death. One punch! He actually killed me with one punch!" Kauk exclaimed loudly.
"That’s because you’re too useless!" Kausen said.
"I’m useless? Why don’t you give it a try?" Kauk roared back.
"Give it a try then! Shall we continue?" Kausen said.
"Sure, let’s go!" Kauk said.
It wasn’t long before Kauk came back this time.
"I took one hit, and then Kausen died," Kauk recounted, then resurrected Kausen the same way.
"That punch really hurt! My head’s smashed!" Kausen shouted loudly.
"Ha-ha, and you said I’m useless? Look at how completely you died!" Kauk teased outright.
"You try it if you’re not satisfied!" Kausen cursed annoyedly.
"Fine, I’ll do it this time! I’ve got a way to handle him now!" Kauk said eagerly.
Then, this time when Kausen came back, he resurrected Kauk.
"Damn it! Long Yi is really tough! But I can take a few of his moves now, haha!" Kauk cursed.
Landers felt incredibly incredulous, were these brothers really that miraculous? Could they indeed resurrect their brother endlessly, as long as one of them was alive?
"Alright, it’s my turn this time!" Kausen said.
This time, Landers followed them, and Long Yi was squatting at the street corner, studying the three corpses in front of him.
"Has he revived again?" Curiosity flickered in Long Yi’s eyes.
Without a word, Kausen charged forward and fought hand-to-hand with Long Yi for several rounds, then, unsurprisingly, was killed. At that moment, Landers looked beside him and discovered Kauk had vanished without a trace.
Long Yi tossed the body of Kauk aside and then continued to study the corpses more carefully.
"What are you doing?" Landers felt sure he must be cursed; otherwise, why would he speak to Long Yi, with whom he was clearly an enemy?
However, as if Long Yi hadn’t noticed, he directly responded, "Just what you see; I’m researching these four corpses."
"Their ability to resurrect their companion is astonishing," Landers said.
"No, I have a different view on this matter," Long Yi said.
"A different view? What do you mean?" Landers asked curiously.
"You’re my enemy, after all; can I tell you such a thing? Besides, those two idiots were specifically sent by you to kill me, and it’s quite all right that I haven’t turned against you," Long Yi remarked in quick succession.
Landers suddenly fell silent, recognizing their adversarial relationship. But what was the point of saying so much and then refusing to explain, just when my curiosity was piqued?
Just then, the brothers, Kausen and Kauk, came back again. This time, it was Kauk who took action.
Compared to before, Kauk lasted longer. Clearly, through repeated deaths, Kauk’s strength was improving rapidly, and at an astonishing speed!
Of course, he still couldn’t avoid being killed by Long Yi this time.
"Interesting," Long Yi uttered.
Long Yi continued to examine the newly arrived corpse.
Landers really wanted to ask what was so interesting, but he still couldn’t speak.
"Don’t you want to know what’s so interesting?" Long Yi asked Landers instead, looking up.
"Yes," Landers said. But you just said you wouldn’t tell me, are you now willing to speak?
"These corpses, they seem to all belong to the same person," Long Yi said.
"They were twins, so they look alike," Landers said.
"No, come look here." Long Yi pulled out Kausen’s hand, then pulled apart Kauk’s hand.
"You know, fingerprints, they are absolutely unique, not even twins will share identical ones," Long Yi said.
Landers looked closely and indeed, the fingerprints of the two men were identical.
"What are you trying to say?" Landers asked, looking at Long Yi.
"What I’m saying is, these two brothers might very well be the same person," Long Yi said.
"This..." Landers instinctively felt it wasn’t possible, because despite the brothers’ similar temperaments, they each had distinct characteristics.
"Have you heard of magic that can clone living beings?" Long Yi asked.
"No," Landers shook his head.
"Neither have I, but I have heard of machines that can clone living beings, Giants have them," Long Yi said.
Landers froze. He immediately thought of the appearance of Kausen or Kauk resurrecting their brother. If you removed the part about casting magic, wasn’t that just like retrieving something from a personal space? Although there were many magics, there had never been anything like this for resurrection! And only retrieving something from a personal space! As for the connection with Giants, his teacher Adaman indeed had the legacy of a Giant! Even though he didn’t know exactly what that Giant legacy entailed, if it included cloning, wouldn’t that be unsurprising?
"Don’t rush, let me try something else!"
Long Yi chuckled, gesturing for Landers to stand aside as Landers instinctively got up and moved away from the corpses. Then Landers was taken aback, why had he, Long Yi’s enemy, who had come to kill Long Yi, inexplicably joined forces with Long Yi? And Long Yi himself, didn’t he have the slightest awareness of being an enemy?
Indeed, brothers Kausen and Kauk came back to life.
"Don’t you get tired of coming and going like this? Why don’t you just come at me together?" Long Yi beckoned to the two of them.
"That’s not okay, what if we can’t beat you and die here?" Kausen shook his head and said.
"Right, we are still too weak, but I believe, soon you will no longer be our match," Kauk said.
"You’re weak, I believe that. But you being this weak, I don’t believe," Long Yi said, sticking out his foot to kick a corpse beside him, not knowing whether it was Kausen’s or Kauk’s. "If my feeling is correct, every time I kill you, I will be afflicted with a curse. This curse is very mild, and it is also a reverse curse. But when the number of times I kill you is sufficient, all the curses’ effects will erupt at once."
Brothers Kausen and Kauk looked at each other, then burst into laughter together.
"Hahaha! Long Yi, you really live up to your reputation! Even such a hidden curse has been discovered by you! Yes, this is indeed a consecutive curse! As long as you kill us six times, the curse will take effect! And now you have killed us five times, do you dare to continue?"
Clang!
Kauk hadn’t finished speaking when a thick Dragon Spear pinned Kauk firmly to the ground. A similar Dragon Spear was also stuck in the ground in front of Kausen, but this was not because Long Yi missed his target, Kausen dodged it.
"Alright, enough talk, I can’t wait to see this so-called curse of yours, hurry up and show me!"
Long Yi was clearly impatient.
Landers felt increasingly puzzled by Long Yi, even if you are full of confidence in yourself. But do you really need to prove your strength in this way? Knowing that the enemy deliberately seeking death is problematic, not only do you show no intention of avoiding, but you actually help them unleash the curse?
Seeing Kauk killed in combat, Kausen finally sneered darkly.
"Long Yi, oh Long Yi, I admit you are very strong. But your strength has led to your arrogance, and your arrogance will ultimately lead to your demise!"
Kausen’s body flickered with runes, with mana swirling continuously.
"I haven’t taken any action yet, I’m still waiting for your curse. So stop talking, hurry it up! I have two Divine Armor improvement meetings to attend today, I don’t have so much time to play with you."
Long Yi appeared even more impatient!
Just then, the corpses lying on the ground suddenly began to convulse inexplicably, and one by one, semi-transparent spirits emerged from them. These spirits were covered in blood-red runes, and as they appeared, they surged toward Long Yi, surrounding him in a circle, attempting to enter his body.
"Revenge Spirit?"
Long Yi laughed.
Kausen also paused for a moment, he hadn’t expected Long Yi to identify the curse so casually.
The curse of the Revenge Spirit was simple: A person would cast the Revenge Spirit curse on themselves before death. After death, their spirit would autonomously seek revenge on their killer. The method of revenge would differ depending on the person who cast the curse. The curse Kausen cast on Long Yi was to let the Revenge Spirit enter Long Yi’s body after being killed six times, disrupting his spirit and reducing his reaction speed, putting Long Yi into a state of mental confusion, then Kausen could easily kill Long Yi.
"Not bad," Long Yi said, smirking and nodding his head, "This curse is quite interesting. You’ve encountered me, someone who is very bored and went along with your act. But what if you met someone who couldn’t be bothered with you? Would you persistently annoy them to death six times over?"
"Against ordinary people, there’s no need for a Revenge Spirit, even against ordinary powerhouses, one Revenge Spirit is already enough. But you’re different, Long Yi. You’re much stronger than the average person, so these six Revenge Spirits were specially prepared for you!" (To be continued.
