William was naturally the type to make conversations suffocating.
When Walker made his earlier remarks, it wasn’t just to ease the awkwardness but also to let William know how cunning he was.
Unmatched in wisdom and bravery!
With such a leader, how could there be no bright future ahead?
Yet, William just stared at him and asked, “What if they find us?”
“If they find us? Then we’ll kill them!” Walker said. “As long as they don’t bother us, we don’t need to provoke them.”
Pausing for a moment, Walker continued earnestly, “I can take on five by myself, no problem, but I’m considering your safety. If I engage them, I won’t be able to protect you, especially with all those monsters lurking around.”
What a nice thing to say.
Still claiming he could take on five by himself.
“You don’t need to worry about me during a fight,I can run fast!” William said, clearly not planning to fight alongside him, “You don’t need my help, right?”
“…” If Walker dies in the Doors of Terror, it’s likely not because he was killed by monsters or other people, but because he was choked to death by anger from something William said.
He had thought that William’s current strength could at least hold off one or two people, making their odds in a two-versus-five fight not entirely hopeless.
Taking on five by himself, he actually wasn’t so sure, considering those guys had all gotten stronger.
“How fast can you run? Are you sure you won’t encounter any monsters if you do run? And if you do, can you handle them?” Walker still hoped that William would fight alongside him, “Besides, always running away isn’t a solution. You need to truly improve yourself through real combat. You don’t really expect to be protected by women all your life, do you?”
“Um, I think I can,” William nodded seriously.
“Just like that, you can’t always run away…”
William pondered, “What I mean is, I can always enjoy the feeling of being protected by women.”
“You… are really beyond help!” Walker didn’t know what else to say. Has the feeling of being protected by women really become something that no longer brings shame?
The scene in the Doors of Terror was tinged with a scent of blood in the air and an eerie atmosphere, though the buildings around were styled like those in a modern city.
However, the surrounding houses were too dilapidated, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
Walker and William cautiously walked through the dimly lit alleys, their steps light, carefully listening to the sounds around them.
In the Doors of Terror, who knew if a monster might suddenly leap out of one of these decrepit houses?
Although the streets lined with buildings offered places to hide, they were not safe.
But if they wanted to hide and wait for Oscar and his group to turn on each other, they had no choice but to stay in such places.
After all, two living people couldn’t just stand out in the open.
“Be careful! Try not to make any noise,” Walker whispered.
William casually followed beside Walker when suddenly, a small snake, glowing an eerie green, darted towards William.
With a flick of his finger, Walker sent a knife flying through the darkness, shattering the snake’s head, its brain matter exploding.
William slightly shifted his stance, dodging all the splattered remains.
Soon after, a strange hissing noise surrounded them.
“You move pretty fast; seems like you really can run,” Walker noted, observing William’s swift and skillful dodge.
The snake’s head burst open, and the direction of Walker’s thrown knife had minimal splatter. William had merely stepped forward and slightly turned his body to avoid all the blood and bone fragments.
William coolly said, “If you put all your attribute points into agility, you end up running fast.”
“All in agility?” Walker, with five flying knives hovering beside him, glanced at the slowly approaching venomous snakes and chuckled, “No wonder you’re so confident. Even if I hadn’t intervened, you probably could have dodged it. You’ve kept your strength well hidden.”
William responded, “So you don’t need to worry about me, just take care of yourself.”
“Is that so? Are you sure you don’t need me to look out for you? These snakes seem highly venomous, a single bite could be fatal.” As Walker spoke, four of his five flying knives moved, their blades flashing as they decapitated several snakes.
The remaining knife hovered in front of William, protecting him.
The blood from the slain snakes spread, attracting even more monsters to the area.
The noise of the gathering monsters grew louder, including some heavy footsteps. Many of the surrounding buildings trembled, clearly indicating that something big was approaching.
William said, “You don’t need to worry about me, just take care of yourself.” With that, he dashed into an alley swarming with bizarre snakes.
“Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Walker was stunned. Did this guy really just charge in there?
There were at least twenty of those strange snakes in that direction.
The moment William charged, several snakes sprang up, attacking him from all angles.
Walker hadn’t even had time to throw his knives when William, with a few swift moves, dodged all the attacks and then disappeared into the darkness.
“Holy shit!” Walker was shocked by William’s agile maneuvers.
The snakes were incredibly fast, and there were so many of them, attacking from every conceivable angle. Yet, William managed to evade them all through his agility, not getting hit even once.
Did he really put all his attributes into agility?
“It looks like I’ve underestimated him before,” Walker said with a smile curling at the corner of his mouth. In his view, William had kept his abilities well hidden.
With such agility, as long as he didn’t encounter someone exceptionally strong, he could generally remain undefeated, or at least keep his life.
That guy William, though not strong in combat, certainly had his own way of surviving.
“He charged out there probably because he didn’t want to drag me down!” Walker’s expression hardened, deciding to focus on dealing with the monsters in front of him first, and then go find William afterward.
With such a commotion, those bastards like Oscar must have noticed. If they had already formed an alliance, they might head this way. If William stayed here, he might just become a burden.
“Bring it on!” Walker roared, his body’s energy aura soaring, radiating a crimson glow around him. His muscular veins bulged, tearing through his clothes.
Over the years, having tempered his body through witchcraft, he had endured countless hardships. Whether in terms of strength or speed, he had far surpassed most of his peers among the Soulmancers.
Facing the fast-moving snakes, he could only use his flying knives to slay them, but for the monsters that appeared afterward, he planned to use his fists to teach these foolish creatures a lesson.
Damn it, how could using flying knives for long-range attacks be satisfying?
Real men fight with their fists!
While Walker was engaged in a tough battle.
A voice once again rang in everyone’s ears.
“There are currently eight survivors left. The final five survivors will have all their attributes doubled based on your current capabilities. Keep it up!”
