The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 345 Deadly Law
William didn't kill the last lizardman right away. Of course, it suffered more pain. Compared with its companions who were directly killed, the fate of having its limbs and spine broken abruptly was definitely more cruel than death.

This is William's usual method of dealing with some "temporary captives" in his previous life. It can not only prevent the captives from resisting or escaping, but also cause them great pain, torture and mental intimidation. It is simple, cruel and effective.

After hastily disposing of the lizardman captives, William quickly checked his surroundings. There were no other intruders disturbing the messy battlefield for the time being, and of course this would not last long.

The stench of the monster's bodily fluids in the air made William a little unbearable, and he leaned over to inspect the Manticore's injuries.This loyal beast suffered heavy injuries, and almost lost its blood. If the manticore's vitality was not strong enough, it would have died of exhausted blood. According to William, it might even stop breathing in the next second.

The Manticore looked at William and hissed lightly, his obsidian-like pupils gleamed with inexplicable joy, but William's mood was somewhat complicated.It was only a short time after meeting the Manticore, and William didn't really accept its submission. This kind of beast was not raised from a young animal, but it was also known for its evil. William always had a feeling for it. Twelve points of refusal.

But the living reality broke William's defenses. Through the chaotic remains of the battle scene, it is easy to see that the reason why the Manticore was so seriously injured was not just a matter of the opponent's strength.If it wasn't for protecting William who was in a coma, how could this tyrannical beast, which can attack from a distance and is good at guerrilla techniques, cut its strengths and shorten its strengths, and fight head-on with the ferocious Sebes lizardman and end up being so seriously injured.

Watching the dying beast, William wondered how to save the Manticore's dying life.Not to mention that he has always been cautious about magic, an incomprehensible magical power.Even if Tabari or Yasuna were here, they might not be willing to expend a lot of energy to heal the Manticore. This desert has a strong interference effect on the power of magic, and the caster who uses spells will cause a lot of damage.

The manticore was still dead after all, the cold pupils still had the undiminished indulgence and a little bewilderment, the burst of dark energy pierced through the hard skull, instantly destroyed the manticore's brain, and William ended it with his own hands The last pain of life.

The feeling of ending the life of his companion by himself is very bad. Even if it is to make it less painful before dying, William still inevitably feels guilty in his heart.

As a tough guy who is used to seeing life and death, William did not deliberately suppress this negative emotion, but let it continue to brew, spread, and magnify in his heart, allowing the emotion of guilt to permeate and stir in his heart.As the saying goes, "When love grows stronger, love turns weaker." What's more, William didn't have much emotion for Manticore, and after he deliberately released it, the guilt came and went quickly, and there was no trace .

This is the method of mental cultivation that William self-realized and groped for in the process of fleeing in his previous life. It is used to eliminate distracting thoughts and temper his mind, so as to relieve the increasingly heavy psychological pressure and avoid being swallowed up by despair and madness.Of course, the flaws of this method are also very obvious. It requires the practitioner to have enough self-control to avoid excessive indulging in emotional illusions, whether they are good or bad.

William broke several bone spurs from the Manticore's body, held one in his hand, and stuck the rest in his waist.Manticore's bone spurs are in the shape of a slender cone with a through hole in the middle. Its hardness is comparable to that of fine steel, but it is much lighter than weapons made of steel. It can be used as a dagger for close combat or as a flying arrow type out.

It's a pity that William's sword was lost when he was unconscious, which left him without a main weapon that he could play to his heart's content.After all, no matter how smart a manticore is, it is impossible for a man to remember to carry a heavy weapon when he is running for his life like a human being.

Of course, the ring in William's hand is not without spare weapons, but in this unknown underground, there seems to be an inexplicable magnetic field that will interfere with all metal objects.William estimated that there may be a magnetic field source similar to magnetite nearby, and chitin weapons are undoubtedly more suitable in this environment.

William walked up to the last living lizardman. For ordinary people, the pain is enough to cause a mental collapse, but it seems unable to affect this severely injured humanoid. Its limbs are obviously distorted into an irregular Z shape. There was only half of the originally strong and flexible long tail left, but it still tried to attack William with the half of the tail that was still bleeding.

William stepped on the stubble of the lizard man's tail, and the sharp bone spur pierced into the lizard man's left eye and penetrated straight into the brain. Dots of red and white brain marrow slowly ooze out along the cavity of the bone spur, drop by drop. fall to the ground.The lizard man howled in pain, but it was as if his spine had been pulled out. He could no longer struggle, and limply hung his head, lying on the ground twitching slightly.

At this time, William suddenly smelled a faint strange fragrance, and he couldn't help taking a deep breath, and suddenly felt a strange coolness rushing straight to his forehead, like being drenched in ice water in the dog days. The dizziness caused by the attack of the demon fish disappeared suddenly, and the whole person seemed to be much more awake and sharp.

William quickly found the source of this strange fragrance. He was surprised, but also a little excited. Judging from William's own experience, this fragrance not only has refreshing, refreshing, and pain-relieving effects, but also has some more Wonderful effects, such as stimulating the secretion of certain hormones in the human body and so on.

The brains of these ferocious-looking lizardmen actually have such a magical effect, which is much higher than spices such as dragon incense, musk, and sandalwood.William is sure that this spice will be of great help to his practice in the future, and it will be the same for others.

As far as William's nature is concerned, although he has some shining points such as pity for the weak and sympathy for the helpless, and occasionally act chivalrously, but in essence, he is really a very cruel person.Not to mention anything else, based on William's unashamed use of live trolls and northern barbarians practicing kung fu, he could not escape the reputation of demons and sadists in his previous life.

Similarly, William also performed the extremely brutal act of dissecting the head and extracting the brain of the Sebes lizard man without any pressure.To him, it was no different from cutting bezoars from the belly of an old cow, or picking dog treasures from the belly of a dirt dog. In other words, William did not regard the Sebes lizardmen as an intelligent race.

And this also means that William has already made a big mistake without knowing it.He didn't realize that in this new world, human beings are not the only protagonists, so human behavior standards are not only constrained by human secular morals and laws, but also by other deadlier and harsher laws and taboos .
