Chapter 666 - The True Usage Of The Puppeteer? Rabbit Being Controlled!
And Lugh finally saw the final goal of this mission -- the true face of the Puppeteer!
A young man with a sickly appearance, as if he had been in an ice coffin for decades, walked out.
If one were to look at his appearance, one would not have thought that this seemingly weak person was the executioner who had slaughtered all the villages around the Undead Mountain Range!
Lugh did not expect that the person who did such a heartless thing was actually this seemingly harmless young man in front of him?
The Puppeteer seemed to have seen the doubt in Lugh"s eyes and said, "You didn"t expect that the person who did such a thing would look like this, right?"
Lugh did not reply. He looked at Monkey who was still lying on the ground and frowned. Logically speaking, Monkey should not be so weak... It seemed that he had used his eyes too much and Rabbit that was healing him was also controlled...
To put it simply, Monkey was out of source energy! After being pushed down, he did not have the strength to stand up again.
And Lugh himself was also trying his best to support his tired body. That slash just now had already used his full strength! He did not hold back at all!
Lugh had also overestimated his own physical condition. He did not expect that the Heaven and Earth Slash after acc.u.mulating strength would put such a heavy burden on his body! It was far more serious than the situation at the Adventurers" Union last time!
And during the previous test at the Adventurers" Union, he did not use his full strength. After using this saber technique, there were no negative effects. His body still had some strength that he could not test out!
This also made Lugh think that this saber technique did not have any residual backlash!
Therefore, Lugh was at a disadvantage this time! The Heaven and Earth Slash that had been acc.u.mulating power for a long time had already emptied his body. He was barely able to stand up now and was already on the verge of collapsing...
Thus, when the Puppeteer appeared, Lugh did not rush over to finish him off immediately!
And the Puppeteer was also injured by Lugh"s saber qi just now. This made his body, which had not recovered, even worse!
Furthermore, the Puppeteer had also tried to see if Lugh still had any strength left. He had used his voice enchantment skill to disrupt Lugh... but he did not expect Lugh to be able to break it so easily!
This made the Puppeteer think that Lugh still had some strength left, so he did not dare to act rashly! He could only stall for time and wait for the young lady, codenamed Rabbit, to be completely controlled by him!
This way, the Puppeteer could control their teammates and turn around to attack Lugh and the others. Then, he could hide himself and take them down without having to put in so much effort!
At this moment, both sides on the battlefield were thinking of ways to stall for time.
Lugh would think of another way to secretly eat a pill while the Puppeteer was not paying attention to him!
Why didn"t he eat it in front of the Puppeteer? That was because there was still a teammate lying on the side, exhausted. Once Lugh let the Puppeteer see that he was trying to hold on, he would immediately attack! And Lugh had no way to save Monkey while dodging the Puppeteer"s attack!
...
The Puppeteer continued, as if he was recalling his own life.
"I didn"t want to become like this! Back then, I was as radiant as all of you, the most dazzling person in the Imperial Capital."
"But an unforeseen event caused me to be imprisoned! Every day, I was treated like a lab rat, having my blood drawn... Being studied... Living a life worse than death!"
At this point, Lugh also understood what the Puppeteer was talking about. Previously, his teammates, Rabbit and Monkey, had explained to Lugh that the Puppeteer was targeted by the evil organization because his source beast was too unique. Then, the Puppeteer was captured and used as a guinea pig to study the source beast in his body.
After that, the evil organization developed the source beast cells in the Puppeteer"s body and ma.s.s produced them... Then, the Adventurers" Union joined forces with the forces of Imperial City to destroy the organization!
And the Puppeteer, who was treated as a research subject, survived this storm and became the only survivor!
However, he did not know how he had survived!
The Puppeteer seemed to have noticed Lugh"s doubts. He smiled and explained, "Are you asking me why I can live for so long?"
At this point, the Puppeteer said fiercely, "That"s because they didn"t want me to die because I couldn"t stand the torture during the experiment!"
"So they injected me with the Vampire gene and transformed me into a Vampire! As long as I breathed in a little blood every day, I can live!"
Monkey at the side also immediately asked, "So you ma.s.sacred the villagers nearby not to cultivate... but to suck their blood?"
The Puppeteer also gave a somewhat sinister smile. "That"s right!"
"But you can"t blame me for this! Who asked them to change me into a Vampire?"
The youth codenamed Monkey opened his mouth when he heard that, but he didn"t say anything! Was this the fault of the Puppeteer? That was for sure! If it weren"t for him, the villagers nearby wouldn"t have been ma.s.sacred!
But was the reason for this the Puppeteer? Probably not! Which evil organization was it!?
...
Just as Lugh and the others were thinking about the Puppeteer"s life experience, a sudden change occurred.
Rabbit, who was completely controlled, rushed over in a strange posture.
"Hahaha! I was waiting for the control of Rabbit to be completed! What are you waiting for?"
The Puppeteer controlled Rabbit as he laughed loudly. In his opinion, was this group of people stupid? They actually allowed him to stall for time!
"Not good!"
Seeing that Rabbit"s body had been completely controlled by the Puppeteer, Lugh also cursed in his heart.
He forcefully roused his spirit and helped the boy with the codename Monkey up, asking, "Can you still walk?"
Monkey also recovered some of his strength and said anxiously, "I can still walk!"
Thus, the two of them fled in a panic while Rabbit, who was still a teammate just a moment ago, was being controlled.
The Puppeteer also watched everything with interest. In his opinion, wouldn"t it be interesting to see their teammate, who was still able to entrust their lives to him, fight against each other now?
If it wasn"t for Rabbit pushing the two of them away just now, the two of them would have been the ones being controlled! The person who had saved their lives turned into the person who wanted to kill the two of them in the next moment!
"How interesting!"
The Puppeteer jumped up in excitement. This action didn"t even affect his wound.
So this was the true usage of a Puppeteer? At this moment, the Puppeteer seemed to have understood something. Wasn"t that what a Puppeteer was like?
"Then why didn"t I do this when I was still in the capital? If I had thought this through earlier, would I still be living there?" the Puppeteer thought to himself.
