Chapter 43 Forced Teleportation
The moment the throwing knife was thrown, You Che immediately pulled back to create distance.
In the Silent Forest, all mana-consuming skills are unusable, and for the sword-wielding knight's injuries, which involve significant loss of flesh and blood, healing potions alone are ineffective; spells or skills must be used for healing.
In other words, You Che doesn't need to worry about him catching up for the time being.
The knight wielding dual daggers deflected You Che's throwing knife, but glancing at his companion beside him, he hesitated whether to give chase.
"Go and catch him!" The swordsman glared at him. "Don't forget our mission! Are you planning to let him escape?"
As they were talking, You Che had already disappeared around the bend in the forest path ahead.
Seeing this, the dual-dagger knight finally gritted his teeth and gave chase.
The swordsman spat angrily, then limped to the roadside, leaned against the trunk of an ancient tree, and took out a healing potion from his pocket to begin healing himself.
Although the healing potion couldn't quickly regenerate flesh and blood, it was still much better than doing nothing. With the physique of a high-level knight, he would soon regain basic normal mobility.
"Once I get this injury under control, I'll... I'll... Anyway, you just wait, you little thief!"
The knight gritted his teeth as he bandaged his wound, unaware that a green figure was hanging from a tree branch above his head, with several sharp vines tipped with deep purple venom silently approaching him.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side, You Che was already engaged in battle with the pursuing dual-dagger knight.
His fight with the knight was much different from before. The two of them each held two daggers and quickly exchanged blows, the clanging sounds echoing in the air.
The swordsman from before was clearly a strength-based build. His longsword swings were incredibly heavy. Even if Yu Che perfectly parried and deflected the attack, he would still be forced to lose health due to the huge difference in attributes.
This knight, who uses dual daggers and throwing knives, is clearly a character with a focus on agility. Although his strength is much higher than You Che's, it is not yet high enough to achieve attribute suppression.
Of course, since he was agility-focused, his speed and movement should naturally be superior to You Che's. Unfortunately, his combat skills were completely outmatched by You Che, and even with his superior speed, he could only maintain a stalemate with You Che.
"You... how do you know our swordsmanship so well!?"
Even though he knew he wouldn't get an answer, the knight couldn't help but ask.
You Che simply smiled and said, "Your attacks were too predictable."
He didn't explain in detail; they were in the midst of a life-or-death battle, how could he possibly give pointers to his opponent? A few sarcastic remarks would be more appropriate.
In Yu Che's opinion, the two knights' moves were indeed almost entirely secret.
They both practiced the standard combat tactics of knights in the army, in other words, the basic attack modules of knight-type professions.
I've seen and used this mod far too many times before, since newbies tend to prefer playing Knight.
Under this premise, whether they use longswords or daggers, there is nothing unknown to You Che.
Not to mention that the two of them used this sword technique very awkwardly, a typical result of group training.
This level of skill is fine for bullying ordinary people, but in front of You Che, it's just child's play.
Basically, once the knight makes his first strike, Yu Che can predict where the next three or four strikes will land. Whether to dodge or perfectly parry is a piece of cake.
The difference is that big.
Therefore, if it weren't for the significant difference in their attributes, neither of the two knights would last more than three moves against Yu Che.
However, this guy from Agile has an advantage: while he can't do anything to Yu Che, Yu Che can also hardly hurt him.
After all, his agility is much higher, and he has very strong control over the subtle aspects of his body. In other words, even if You Che calculates his actions and prepares to launch an attack in advance, he will still be able to barely dodge at the last moment.
The battle suddenly reached a stalemate, which was clearly disadvantageous for You Che.
After all, the sword-wielding knight was clearly receiving treatment, and most importantly, Yu Che estimated that the Silent Forest's existence was nearing its end...
If they wait until the maze disappears and they are forcibly teleported, Yu Che will have a lot of trouble just facing the dual-dagger knights whose skills have been unlocked.
"We must find a way to resolve this quickly."
With this thought in mind, You Che made a decision.
The next moment, after deflecting the knight's attack, he suddenly feinted and then pulled out a packet of poison powder from his pocket, which he then threw at the knight!
"...!? Oh no, it's poison!"
He immediately held his breath and stepped back. Even though knight-type professions generally have high resistance to abnormalities, he didn't want to have his face covered in poison of completely unknown composition.
However, his movement naturally threw him into disarray. This was the opportunity You Che had been waiting for. From the small cloud of smoke formed by the poison powder, several flying knives and axes came one after another. The knight hurriedly parried, appearing somewhat flustered.
He was thinking of creating some distance and then looking for an opportunity to counterattack, but before he could take any action, he felt a sharp pain in his left leg.
He looked down and saw an inconspicuous wound on the inside of his calf, and then... it burst open!
"Ugh...!!"
The knight instinctively let out a muffled groan, but reason compelled him to try and retreat.
However, You Che's figure had already approached him from another direction, his hound claws aimed at the back of his neck!
"--Bye now."
However, at that very moment, everything around Yu Che and the knight turned into a mirage-like illusion, then dissipated like smoke and dust, with a translucent white mist enveloping everything in sight.
Yu Che: "!!"
knight:"!?"
Both of them realized what had happened: forced teleportation!
The next moment, the two had returned to the forest where the stone gate at the entrance to the maze was located.
Feeling the magic power rekindled within him, the knight couldn't help but laugh: "What a pity, you were just a little short."
A flash of magical light emanated from him, and the bleeding from the wound on his leg immediately stopped, beginning to heal slowly.
Emergency Healing is one of the common skills for Knight-type classes.
He then looked at You Che and said, "You seemed pretty arrogant just now, relying on the suppression of that damn forest. So, what are you going to do now?"
Standing at a certain distance opposite him, You Che frowned, but his hands still gripped the dagger tightly, clearly showing no intention of giving up the fight.
This only made the knight laugh even more disdainfully.
"It seems you don't know when to give up, so I won't be polite then."
He raised his two daggers, both of which were enveloped in sword energy condensed from magic, and the effects of more than one skill enhancement also appeared around him.
However, at that very moment, a different expression finally appeared on You Che's face—a mocking smile.
"That's why I said your behavior is so predictable."
knight:"!?"
Before he could do anything, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, followed by a chill entering his body.
The knight was immediately shocked to find that he had quickly lost control of his body. He collapsed limply, completely powerless.
"I... what exactly are you...?"
You Che shrugged and said, "This has nothing to do with me. It's just that you weren't paying attention to what was behind you, which is why you gave yourself away."
In PVP, it's common to fight multiple opponents at once. If you don't even pay attention to your own back, you deserve to fail.
The knight reluctantly turned his head and saw a somewhat familiar green figure pass by him and walk up to You Che.
"It's...this guy..."
With immense resentment, the knight uttered his last few words before losing consciousness and plunging into darkness.
Yu Che looked at the monster girl standing in front of him with a smug expression and said helplessly:
"How did you manage to get out here?"
