Chapter 635: Chapter 343: Seeking Death But Unable to Achieve it (7000 words)_4

Sure enough, he saw an energy arrow shrouded in a thick wind shield, rushing towards him with unmatchable power, currently sitting several dozen meters behind the Ghost Captain.

The reason he hadn’t noticed the arrow before was because it was positioned in a straight line between him, the Ghost Captain, and himself, blocking his view.

Could it be that the intention of shaking this empty space was to use his body to block his view of the arrow?

If that were the case, once time stop concluded, his opponent would dodge swiftly, leaving him exposed to the arrow...

World Walker felt a chill down his spine; he was relieved he had discovered the plot in time! He now only needed to get off the line of fire to avoid being hit.

However, with this idea in mind, he felt something was off.

If his opponent had the ability to predict the future, he inevitably would foresee his eventual position. If the arrow was unable to hit him, didn’t it render his opponent’s actions meaningless?

Unless... the opponent had some way to ensure the arrow would definitely hit him!

As World Walker finally realized this, he was consumed with massive panic.

Again, he experienced the horrors of the ability to predict the future: it was a power that could declare a death sentence in advance!

World Walker hurriedly directed an attack towards the arrow in mid-air. Yet, it was protected by the wind shield, deflecting all attacks.

Moreover, the delay had led to the time-stop reaching its limit.

World Walker could no longer wonder about that; he quickly sprinted full speed away from the scene, praying that the time stop would hold a bit longer.

About four seconds later, time stop automatically ended, with everything returning to normal.

At this moment, World Walker had only run a hundred meters or so.

The instant time stop ended, he suddenly found his surroundings changing. He was standing where the Ghost Captain had been standing, and the Ghost Captain was looking back at him from the position he’d just fled.

Teleportation. World Walker realised it was this high-level spell.

The next second, a sharp pain swept through his right shoulder, and he was thrown off by the immense force, falling away in the distance.

When everything stilled, World Walker marveled at the fact that he was still alive.

However, as he looked around, he discovered something even more terrifying: his right shoulder and the entire right arm had completely disappeared.

World Walker instinctively took out a potion from his waist and drank it, but his arm showed no signs of healing.

He understood now. This was the same type of special arrow that prevented wounds from healing.

Having confirmed it, World Walker quickly made a dash to the front; there lay his bloody severed arm.

The switch of his time stop was located in his right hand. As long as he could retrieve the severed arm, there would be a chance to control time stop.

However, before he could get close, he saw a chain claw swoop in, perfectly gripping the severed arm on the ground and bringing it back to the hands of the Ghost Captain in the distance.

"My hand!" World Walker’s eyes turned red in anger. He stared furiously at Mu You, but didn’t dare approach.

Mu You was now holding the severed arm, evaluating World Walker’s condition.

"Even in such a situation, you didn’t reveal any item that controls time stop. It appears that the real control element isn’t even on your body. You merely borrowed someone else’s power; this in your hand was merely a switch."

Having said that, Mu You ignited a fireball in his right hand. The severed arm quickly burned and turned into ashes in the flames, disappearing, leaving behind an arm band that emitted a faint golden light.

[Hand of Angus: Arm band used by War God Angus in legends. When equipped, the corresponding arm can achieve a magic immunization state, and physical defense power +2000 points. It cannot be bound and must be dropped upon death.]

"Damn it!"

After seeing the properties of that object, Mu You couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes.

No wonder this guy’s right arm was so tough that even the Electric Arc Sword couldn’t sever it. With magic resistance and an additional 2000 points of defense, as soon as he put this thing on, his right hand had turned into a Kirin Arm!

World Walker watched his arm burning, and his equipment being taken away. His eyes turned even redder. Suddenly, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it towards his own heart.

Losing his arm didn’t matter. As long as he committed suicide now, after resurrecting, his right hand would naturally be restored.

World Walker kept stabbing himself with the dagger. However, before he managed a few stabs, a sharp arrow quietly flew from afar, precisely hitting his wrist, knocking the dagger flying out of his hand.

At the same time, a surge of Holy Light descended upon his head, and his severely depleted HP was instantly restored by a considerable amount.

World Walker was startled and looked up at the Ghost Captain who appeared not far in front of him.

The Ghost Captain was maintaining the gesture of casting a spell with his wand.

"Who gave you permission to die?"

While speaking, Mu You added a level 5 Holy Shield to him.

"You!"

World Walker suddenly felt a tremendous insult. He had lost his time stop ability. Now, couldn’t he even die?

Seeing the Ghost Captain and an Archer on the other side getting closer to him, World Walker suddenly jumped up, waved his magic wand, disappeared, and reappeared a hundred meters away before running towards the distance without looking back.

Mu You looked at his direction of escape, Skull Mountain, and understood his thoughts.

He clearly seemed to have lost hope of a comeback and was placing his hopes on Red Sleeve.

Mu You shook his head. Regardless of who would receive the Grim Reaper inheritance, the performance of this World Walker was utterly abysmal.

Even though he was an epic rank, and his attributes and equipment were quite luxurious, he didn’t dare to fight them head-on.

In an all-out battle, they wouldn’t kill him. He might have actually stood a chance in the short term, but he didn’t even have the courage to fight.

This was the result of over-reliance on abilities. His battle will was too weak. The moment he was at a disadvantage, he sought help from external sources. Such people could only win when they had the upper hand. Once they lost their abilities, they would lose their will to fight without anyone else interfering.

"Don’t use that kind of arrow from earlier, use normal arrows. Aim for his legs and just immobilize him. Don’t kill him..."

"Understood, my Lord..."

World Walker stumbled and ran forward while hearing this conversation from the back.

When he looked back, he found that the two were leisurely following behind him, as if they were leisurely herding sheep.

What made him spit blood was that a life-link was now being emitted from the Ghost Captain, connected to him. However, this link wasn’t sucking life from him, instead, it was infusing him with HP at a rate of a few hundred points per second.

A few thousand HP that he had managed to reduce by stabbing himself were quickly restored to full in a blink of an eye.

Moreover, the Ghost Captain summoned a witch doctor carrying a crutch, who activated a Healing Aura. Even World Walker was included in its area of effect. As such, his HP was continually being restored at a rate of 2% per second.

It’s safe to say that apart from the wound in his right arm that couldn’t heal, he was healthier than ever.

World Walker had to abandon the idea of continuing to stab himself. The healing was faster than the bleeding; it was pure torture.

While running at full speed, he didn’t forget to look up at Skull Mountain in the distance.

Red Sleeve must have obtained the Grim Reaper inheritance, right...

Normally, he would have been confident about this, but now, his life hanging by a thread, that certainty was starting to waver.
