Chapter 798: Two Cecilies
Chapter 798: Two Cecilies
Cecily, a Seventh Rank Legendary powerhouse, lay on the floor of her guild's grand hall, drenched in blood. Who could have ambushed her?
Su Yu's heart tightened as he quickly knelt down to examine Cecily's injuries. Her face was pale, her cheeks devoid of color, and her eyes tightly shut. The expression on her face showed immense pain. She wore a tight black leather armor, half of her body shrouded in black smoke. Her abdomen, where the armor seemed to have been struck, was torn and shattered, blood gushing out and quickly staining the hall's floor red.
Due to her severe injuries, the power within her body could not be contained and was leaking into the air, forming dark energy illusions around her. Su Yu channeled his magic and used the Ice Seal spell to freeze her wounds.
Aside from him, everyone present was an assassin, with no healers like priests or druids around. This was the best they could do for now.
He then turned to the surrounding NPCs and players. "Everyone, what just happened here?"
"We don't know either," a Fourth Rank player scratched his head, puzzled. "She was fine just a moment ago, then she suddenly screamed and ended up like this."
"Right."
"Exactly."
"Was she ambushed?"
"To injure a Legendary Rank member in one strike, it must have been a Divine Rank assassin, right?"
The NPCs and players around him were abuzz with speculation.
Listening to their discussions, Su Yu shook his head slightly. "No, it wasn't a Divine Rank assassin."
Based on his knowledge, there were no Divine Rank assassins in the main plane of the game world. While other planes did have them, there was no record of any Divine Rank beings visiting the main plane.
Noticing that Cecily was still conscious, Su Yu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Cecily, do you know who ambushed you?"
Cecily, lying on the floor, quickly responded. She strained to open her mouth and said, "It was Cao... Cao..."
After speaking, she slumped to the side and fell into unconsciousness.
...
Although Cecily had mentioned the attacker, Su Yu didn't fully understand what she said. Due to her severe injuries, she had pronounced "Cao" and "Cao" as "cao" in a slurred manner.
So, Su Yu only heard, "cao... cao..."
Cao? What Cao?
Cao what? Cao how?
What nonsense?
The NPCs and players around him also began to whisper among themselves.
"Cao? What does that mean?"
"Could it be some kind of plant-type monster?"
"Cao... It sounds like an insult to me."
"In our dialect, 'cao' has a vulgar meaning. Could she have meant something unspeakable? That makes some sense!"
Su Yu ignored their speculations.
It didn't matter if he couldn't understand. After all, Cecily was only severely injured, not dead. He would take her to be healed, and everything would be clear once she recovered.
Su Yu informed the NPCs and players around him, then cast the Teleportation Array spell to send the severely injured Cecily to the nearest church.
...
...
The scene returned to the Skruu Star, the western part of the Wildlands, at the "Final Secret Realm."
The area around the "Final Secret Realm" has erupted into chaos, with the Skrull race and the native magical beasts fiercely clashing to secure the most advantageous terrain, making it easier to escort their kin into the secret realm.
However, at the heart of this fierce battle, the Skrull god-tier powerhouse, Cecilia, lay unconscious, a steady stream of crimson blood flowing from her abdomen, her condition extremely dire.
If Su Yu were here, he would be shocked to discover that the severely injured and unconscious Cecilia was in the exact same position as the Cecilia from the game, even the wounds were in the precise same spot! Aside from their appearances (one being a green-skinned Skrull and the other a pale purple-skinned Dark Night Elf), the two of them could have been carved from the same mold.
But since Su Yu was not present, no one noticed Cecilia's abnormal state.
Now, the other five Skrull god-tier powerhouses formed a circle around Cecilia, protecting her from any attacks by the enemies present.
Manina III, the leader, glared fiercely at the figure of Chancellor Cao floating in the sky opposite him, and shouted angrily, "Cao Cao! You finally made your move! Just wait, from now on, we won't let a single Blue Star cultivator enter the secret realm!"
"Suit yourself," Chancellor Cao, standing in the sky, replied expressionlessly, "But I must clarify that Cecilia made the first move. I was forced to retaliate, I'm not as shameless as you all!"
The truth was that Chancellor Cao did not suddenly turn against Cecilia. Just moments ago, Cecilia had used a special spell to try to snatch the "Hilt of the Ten Thousand Admonitions Sword" from Cao.
Cecilia's spell was successful.
Orange threads shot from her palm and instantly adhered to the sword's hilt. In the blink of an eye, Chancellor Cao almost lost control of the hilt.
If he lost control of the hilt, the only outcome would be death for Chancellor Cao!
Fortunately, he had been communicating with the hilt for the past few months, forming an unbreakable bond.
So when Cecilia tried to snatch the hilt, Chancellor Cao immediately reacted and broke free from the orange threads.
Seeing the hilt almost snatched away, Chancellor Cao was enraged.
He swung the hilt and swung a fierce blow, the pale blue sword light spanning several dozen meters, striking Cecilia's abdomen and severely wounding her.
Originally, both sides had intended to cooperate and work together to secure a spot in the "Final Secret Realm."
But after this incident, the two sides immediately broke ties, showing no mercy.
Chancellor Cao, standing in the air, continued coldly, "Since you showed no mercy, don't blame me for following suit!
From now on, if I see any Skrull of the sixth tier trying to enter the secret realm, I will kill them without hesitation!"
With that, Chancellor Cao activated the "Leaf of Deception" spell, his figure vanishing completely.
...
Watching Chancellor Cao disappear, the five Skrull god-tier powerhouses' faces darkened like the bottom of a pot.
From Manina III's perspective, he truly wanted to cooperate with Chancellor Cao. After all, the "Final Secret Realm" competition would be more intense, and Plant Lang't hadn't returned yet yet. Now only could anyone think that Chancellor Cao had a special bond with the "Hilt of the Ten Thousand Admonitions Sword," and he was determined to protect it at all costs.
So, as the battle raged on, the two sides immediately broke ties, showing no mercy.
Chancellor Cao, standing in the air, continued coldly, "Since you showed no mercy, don't blame me for following suit!
From now on, if will not let a single Skrull of the sixth tier trying to enter the secret realm, I will kill them without hesitation!"
With that, Chancellor Cao activated the "Leaf of Deception" spell, his figure vanishing completely.
