My Players Are So Fierce

Unfortunately, the poisoning effect was dispelled before the vampire’s midnight healing could take effect.

“I’m fine, don’t worry.

Although the poison is still lingering in my body, I just need to lie in there for a few hours now and then.”

Murphy waved his hand, indicating to Triss and Adel not to worry, and said:

“Have the arrangements for the players been made?

I think my situation must have affected them.”

“If you keep being so nice to them, I’m going to get jealous.”

Triss pouted and said:

“Do you know we were all scared to death?

Maxim was at death’s door because of you, and as soon as you woke up, you asked about your otherworldly friends.

Maybe in your heart, they are far more important to you than we are.”

“Cut it out.”

Murphy gave a weak smile and said:

“I’m their manager and protector; I must be responsible for their lives.

But it’s hard for them to accompany me throughout my life; only you can walk with me to the end.”

“That’s more like it.”

Triss snorted with satisfaction, and Adel also showed a smile.

“Let me see who that assassin was…

I hope the advance funeral fee paid by Twilight was plenty.”

Murphy comfortably enjoyed Triss’s embrace and Adel’s constant shoulder massage from behind.

He closed his eyes, allowed his character card to enter deep data mode, and then opened the combat record.

The whole process of the previous assassination was detailed here:

[

19:45:24 – Entered combat state!

[Interference by subspace power prevented tracker] launched a surprise attack on you; attack assessment begins!

Due to the opponent being a Golden One, the power tier gap is too large, perception failed, perception check skipped!

Due to the opponent being a Golden One, the power tier gap is too large, dodge failed, agility check skipped!

Your stamina is 21, the opponent’s critical assassination roll is 1D100, requiring a roll above 21 to kill you.

Your elite template gives +2 assessment immunity.

A power tier gap of -5 in assessment immunity for both sides.

The opponent holds the Divine Artifact: The Black Fang of Avalon, +2 attack immunity.

The opponent’s weapon is coated with supernal toxin: the secretion of the Abyss Spider Queen, +2 attack immunity.

The final fatal point requirement is 14.

The opponent is an extraordinary law: a Shadow Samurai, an assassin, modifying the assessment process to 3D100.

Assessment begins!

First roll result: 132!

Success!

Second roll result: 11!

Failure!

Third roll result: 100!

Major success!

Fatal assessment passed!

The opponent’s weapon pierced your heart, the poison took effect, [Midnight Healing] ability temporarily removed.

19:45:25 – You died.

19:45:26 – The ability “Embrace of the Weaver of Life” took effect, the Bottle of Rebirth was used, Lady Spider intervened in your death process, your soul was brought back to the material world, you resurrected.

19:45:27 – Battle ended!

“The opponent came prepared, leaving no usable information, except it’s certain he’s a Shadow Elf with a divine artifact in hand.

Almost no evidence was left behind.”

Murphy shook his head and said:

“This is maddening.

Twilight really spent a lot to kill me.

But if I were to guess, I’d say this guy is the mastermind behind the Bernel City incident.

Although there’s no evidence, I think this guy is a traitor from the Mejewa Clan.

The City of Shadow Elves was captured because of his secret interference.

Great!

Now the main quest for the Elf Players has become clearer.”

“At a time like this!”

Triss reached out and smacked Murphy on the head, saying:

“You’re still thinking about your ridiculous missions.”

“You don’t understand; this is the Dog Planner’s self-discipline.

A mere fatal injury can’t stop me from carrying out my duties.”

Murphy took a breath and said:

“I won’t give up opposing Twilight so easily.

Things like this will only happen more frequently in the future; you and I both need to adapt in advance.

But I suspect their reason for striking now is to assist the Pī zhǎo Clan in breaking through the Blackflame Mountain Pass.

I feel this situation is becoming increasingly strange, and there must be something we haven’t discovered yet.

Adel!

Immediately go back to the pass area, contact Lord Hether, and conduct a comprehensive, in-depth inspection of the Black Flame Maw Position.

I suspect Twilight may have planted a mine there that could blow everyone sky high.”

“Yes, I will depart at once.

You take care, Master.”

Adel promptly accepted the order.

Before leaving, she hesitated, glanced at the Grand Duke of Triss, who gave a reserved nod.

Thus, receiving permission, Adel leaned down and pecked Murphy’s cheek before quickly leaving.

“Murphy, come with me.”

Triss stood up and said to her dear:

“I need to give you something that can help you protect yourself better in situations like this.

This time, Veylanther anticipated the danger and prepared a Bottle of Rebirth for you, but that thing can’t work forever.

Especially with someone like Twilight, they have many ways to bypass Lady Spider’s intervention to kill you.

Remember!

No matter what happens in a moment, you are not allowed to interrupt my spellcasting process!”
