A large amount of data flow flashed before Annan's eyes.
The surrounding crimson ocean suddenly began to boil uneasily, with large bubbles popping up.
In the bottomless seabed, black mud suddenly began to gradually leak out. Thin whispers and chuckles accompanied by melodious and weird music sounded.
Finally, the mud hugged each other and slowly rose. A bright red light slowly shone in Annan's eyes.
Until it rose to the level of Annan's line of sight, the brilliance suddenly exploded. Like a plane passing by at low altitude, there was a buzz in Annan's head, and his vision completely dissipated and became pitch black.
In the dark and lightless world, three light groups emerged.
They are an emerald eyeball, a kitchen knife stained with blood, and an abstract picture of a stab on the back.
At this moment, a new curtain of light flashed before Annan's eyes:
[Curse Manifested——]
[Eternally Lost Eye (permanent type): Your left eye will occasionally suffer severe pain, as if someone had dug it out with a knife. 】
[Note: After the interval between two pains exceeds three days, the duration of pain will gradually increase. The maximum duration of pain will not exceed 12.4 seconds, and the minimum duration will not be less than 2.4 seconds.]
[Butcher's Blade (Defuse Type): You must kill one person every month with a kitchen knife. 】
[Note: Cause at least 10% of the total damage. The kitchen knife must have cooked human food normally within the day before the ceremony. 】
[Oath of Backstab (taboo type): You are not allowed to sneak attack from behind and kill those who trust you.]
[Note: "Trust" means that the other person did not think that you would kill him at the moment he was attacked by you, and the two of you knew each other's existence. 】
The contents of the three curses were written very clearly and were placed in front of Annan's eyes by the system.
But completely opposite to the clearly written negative effects, there is no description at all about the power you will get by choosing each spell.
"Three types of curses..."
Annan murmured.
In fact, at least as far as the bronze-level curses are concerned, there is nothing too harsh.
Except that the first curse is too deadly and can easily hold you back at critical moments, the remaining two are actually optional.
The second one is very simple. It is basically equivalent to killing one person every month. It can be said that there is almost no difficulty.
After all, Annan has a special identity. It is not difficult to execute a death row prisoner in a month. Even if he really can't find anyone to kill, Annan can also issue a task to the players and let them choose a person to die once.
So what if you die and lose a level or two?
Annan directly compensated him with experience that can upgrade him to level three or even level four, and also gave him 500 personal favorability points. Isn't this nice?
When the time comes, I'm afraid the players who come to kill people will definitely be the gongs, drums, firecrackers, red flags, and huge crowds of people.
The third curse is not very difficult to avoid.
Although this point cannot be betrayed, it is a bit difficult for Annan... With Annan's way of doing things, it is easy to violate this rule.
But fortunately, this curse has very loose requirements for "backstabbing". The so-called "the other party did not think that you would kill him at the moment when he was attacked by you"... that is to say, as long as you continue
You can avoid this by stating that you want to kill him before betraying him; or by subduing him instead of killing him after backstabbing him.
However, Annan thought about it and chose the second option.
Not because of anything else.
Just to pave the way for the next promotion.
After all, although the third article seems to have little impact now... But in the subsequent advancements, you may get new curses at each advancement. They are likely to hinder each other and further limit Annan's back.
stinging behavior.
The most important thing about the curse is keeping it secret.
It's best if no one knows about your spell except the Keeper...or even if they know, they can't break it.
So, once Annan starts to act with restraint, as long as there is a smart person among his enemies, after they investigate Annan's behavior pattern, they will easily guess what his curse is.
On the contrary, it is the resolving type of curse. Although it seems to be mandatory, it is the easiest to resolve and the least likely to conflict with other curses.
So……
As Annan's heart moved, the blood-stained bubble began to expand rapidly, quickly engulfing the other two bubbles. The content gradually turned turbid red, then slowly turned black, and turned into a small black sludge again.
.
Then, the mud flew over and stuck to Annan's right forearm, and began to flow slowly... as if something was carved on the skin of his arm.
Wherever it flows, there is a corrosive pain. It leaves a pure black scar visible to the naked eye.
The color was like the skin cracked naturally, and the inside was void... without a trace of blood, it was dim and deep.
The shape of the scar is like an abstract broken sword or a tortuous circuit.
And new words flowed before Annan's eyes again:
[Butcher's Blade: Attached to an edged weapon (the blade cannot be longer than 1.5 meters), no maintenance cost, cooling time of 30 minutes after removal]
[When attacking edible creatures (meaning that they will not die after being eaten), if an attack does hit and cause damage, and is not blocked, parried or tilted on the way, then when attacking the target repeatedly, the sharpness of the weapon will be reduced.
The strength and hardness are considered to be temporarily doubled.】
[This effect can be stacked infinitely, with a built-in cooldown of 2.4 seconds. After stacking two layers of effects on other enemies, other blessing effects will return to zero. 】
...seems pretty good.
Annan's eyes lit up.
This is a quite practical ability.
This ability can be simply described as...
...a flesh-and-blood unit special attack version of the Black Cleaver?
For most enemies, as long as Annan's weapon hurts the enemy once, the sharpness and hardness of his weapon will begin to increase rapidly. As long as he can bypass the opponent's weapon or shield and hit the opponent once or twice
, he will become significantly stronger.
Until his weapon is strengthened to the point where he can cut off the enemy's weapon and cut off the enemy's shield with one sword.
This means that even if Annan holds two kitchen knives, after a few rounds of fighting, he can use Blade Storm to smash the enemy's weapons and armor into pieces.
However, it seems that this is not suitable for that kind of swordsmanship.
It is somewhat suitable for the kind of light and flexible technical fencing.
The fragility of a rapier or rapier can be completely compensated by this weapon. As long as Annan can quickly injure the enemy several times, he can strengthen his weapon to an astonishing degree - even directly penetrate it.
Use a shield or armor to directly kill the enemy.
But the first thing Annan thought of was his frost sword skill.
The triggering condition of this ability is "causing damage", not necessarily "bleeding". And the sword energy fired by Frost Sword Technique cannot be blocked or deflected...
So if Annan strikes with Frost Sword Skill, will he be able to stably trigger a layer of buff?
The only disadvantage is that except for the main target, which can be stacked infinitely, others can only be stacked one layer at most.
This makes it impossible to be a monkey, which is a pity...
After being branded by the black mud, Annan lost consciousness again.
When he woke up, he had returned to the frozen water port in the real world.
