How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

Page 48

Something happened to Lall!

We have already run out of the barrier's range.

Cliff felt the suspension bridge sway as he stepped onto it; the sheer drop seemed like a gaping, dark hole, ready to swallow him at any moment.

Could it be...

A thought popped into Cliff's head, and he broke out in a cold sweat, running frantically without a care in the world.

They quickly left Mulder and Yolien far behind.

Cliff had already reached Sirocco, just a step away from the ground at the bridgehead.

He felt as if time had stretched out, and this time, he saw Sirocco's twisted smile.

Click.

With a flash of cold light, Sirocco instantly severed the four ropes at the end of the drawbridge with his broadsword.

"you....!!"

Cliff first felt his feet sink into the ground, fear rising in his heart, followed quickly by anger taking hold of his mind.

"Sirocco————!!!"

"Help me—!!!"

"..." (Yorien's eyes rolled back; he was already dizzy.)

The three voices echoed in the abyss, their volume decreasing and their distance receding.

"This is what happens to minotaurs."

Sirocco declared victory.

He didn't sheathe his knife, nor did he jump up and shout "Long live the king!" He wiped his sweat, approached the edge of the cliff, and carefully examined it.

A discovery has been made.

"Huff...huff...uh..."

Cliff's eyes were bloodshot, his muscles were tense and red, and he was clinging to the cliff face with his hands and feet.

Little by little, they quietly climbed upwards.

"Sirocco, I accept your proposal and will post your video online."

But the content is about how pathetic and embarrassing you looked after I beat you up!

Then you'll be laughed at by the whole school... no, the whole world!

That's not enough. I'll find the best priest who will beat you into a pulp every time, then resurrect you with full health, beat you into a pulp again, and leave you unable to even cry.

This is what happens when you play me.

Cliff climbed upwards expressionlessly, but in his heart he was killing Sirocco countless times; anger filled him with power.

The bright cliff edge is already in sight.

Cliff reached out and grasped at hope.

"?"

Contrary to expectations, it didn't feel like hard stone; instead, it was cool and soft.

hand.

Seeing Sirocco's friendly smile and holding his arm.

Cliff quickly mustered all his strength and tried to climb up.

"Wait!!"

Unfortunately, Sirocco showed no mercy and, without the slightest hesitation, kicked Cliff in the head.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!——”

Besides the indelible bite marks, Cliff now had a size 39 shoe print on his face, and his screams were louder than ever before, growing fainter as he fell.

36. Don't take medicine if you have residual blood.

Sirocco coughed up a mouthful of blood in great pain.

"Damn it, can't I just...act cool for once?"

He could no longer maintain his calm and composed demeanor; at that moment, his internal organs seemed to have shifted.

As expected of Lv10, one punch crippled me.

I really am not good at one-on-one fights!

"Ahem... Anyway..."

It felt so good to take down the minotaur.

Despite the metallic taste in his mouth, Sirocco smiled with relief.

The initial attack was mitigated by the skill "Transform into Rock".

The additional blow was truly taken by sheer physical strength.

Thankfully, the homeroom teacher, Priss, sealed Cliff's talents and skills. Once he unlocked the "Hunter's Forest" talent, he would have been able to swing back up from the bottom of the cliff long ago.

He activated the ring and retrieved the medium-sized recovery medicine, worth 3000 rubles, that Cass had previously given him.

A quick glance at the HP number reveals it's dropping to 21, 21, 18... and still slowly decreasing.

If we don't eat soon, we'll die.

"Sirocco!"

Just as Sirocco was about to inject the recovery drug, Cass's voice made him stop.

An idea flashed through my mind.

It's not safe to drink yet.

I can still do something with this pineapple-shaped body.

This is a game, this is a game...

Hilock endured the pain and retrieved the recovery medicine from the ring.

At this moment, Cass drew his sword and ran to the edge of the cliff.

They could already see Sirocco on the other side, lying motionless against the rock wall, barely alive, with a large pool of blood on his chest and on the ground.

"Sirocco!!"

Although he didn't see Cliff and the others, Cass's heart was in his throat when he saw Sirocco's seriously injured appearance.

Cass looked around and found that the suspension bridge had broken.

For a moment, I even thought about jumping over the cliff, but judging from the distance, it was too far to jump across.

They could wait for the suspension bridge to repair itself, but Cass didn't think Sirocco could hold out until then.

Cass sent Brid the location, telling her the exact spot and urging the rescue team to come.

Anxiously looking around for a way to get across, Cass finally focused his attention on a very tall tree.

Gripping his straight sword tightly with both hands, Cass unleashed his full power with the skill "Sonic Slash," cleaving a tree in half with a single strike. The tree, surprisingly, served as a perfect makeshift bridge. Ignoring the risk of falling into the abyss, Cass sprinted and finally reached Sirocco's side.

"Sirocco, are you still conscious? I have some recovery medicine."

Cass pulled up the ring chart and couldn't help but curse:

Ugh! I'm such an idiot!

Because he was so excited when he came, he mistakenly thought that Sirocco wanted to invite him out to play, so Cass's ring gauge was empty.

"Sir... Sirocco..."

Cass's tears flowed uncontrollably, and he felt a deep resentment towards his own powerlessness and lack of preparation.

Because there's no recovery potion, Sirocco might die.

Seeing Sirocco's pale face and purple lips, Cass felt a deep, agonizing pain in his heart.

"Sirocco... I'm sorry, you must hold on, Brid and the rescue team will be here soon."

There was nothing he could do but offer words of comfort, which was also a way of comforting himself.

Sirocco shakily raised his hand and placed it on Cass's shoulder:

“Bride?...I...I'm fine...This is...the consequence of being powerless....”

"Sirocco!!!"

Seeing that Sirocco was still conscious, Cass was overjoyed, but upon hearing this, he gritted his teeth in regret.

No power.

Yes, Sirocco is right.

If I were stronger, Sirocco wouldn't have encountered this situation.
