Chapter 646: Selent's Selfishness
"I don't think we'd better dwell on this matter for now, then, those metal tentacles seem to have been stimulated by the arrows of light and are starting to mutate!" Celrant and Barnett rarely heard such panicked voices from the Troll Warriors.
When Celent and the old dwarf were alerted, they found that the metal tentacles surrounding them were indeed different from before. All of the metal tentacles began to twist wildly, layers of black mist seeping out of them. Through these black mist full of demon aura, Celent saw that the metal tentacles had grown sharp barbs like the first tentacle, and it was obvious that what they had been fearing most was becoming a reality.
"It looks like my divine magic has spurred these metal tentacles. Sellent said with a wry smile, he could feel the obvious hostility in the black mist, and this hostility was only aimed at him. Celent could almost conclude that the demonic aura on the metal tentacles, which he didn't know how Kenobi had collected, was attracted by his divine magic, and drove the metal tentacles to aim their fire completely at him.
'If that's the case, it's a good opportunity!' Selent pondered. If his guess is correct, the metal tentacles will temporarily give up their attacks on Zambit and Barnett, so that he can attract them and let Zambit and Barnett get out of the way and continue to complete the task that Alfie had assigned them.
As for his own safety, Celent didn't pay attention to it at all, as if his divine magic had a good effect on those metal tentacles, and he might be able to wipe them out when the time came.
I have to admit that I have been with Alfie for a long time, and Celent also has a certain ability to plan, and unlike Alfie, who likes to take risks, Silent's planning is based on a clear understanding of his own strength. In terms of Serent's cautious character, if he is 100 percent sure, then he will only say that he is 80 percent sure to the outside world. And this time, according to his estimates, if he used that divine magic, he was more than eighty percent sure that he would destroy all these metal tentacles.
"Mr. Zambit, Mr. Barnett, I have a plan......" Sellent said, looking up at the two of them.
"Oh? The old dwarf looked interested, and Celent rarely offered his opinions, which made Barnett very curious as to what he could suggest.
"In a moment I'll use a divine glow to draw the attention of these metal tentacles, and you can look for opportunities to break out. Sellant spoke quickly about his plan, and he noticed that the metal tentacles were starting to move, and that they were running out of time.
"How can this work? Don't look at your divine magic as if it has some restraint effect on metal tentacles, but divine magic can only restrain the demonic energy on them, don't forget that they are mainly used to launch physical attacks, and you can't resist them at all. Zambit had an insulted look on his face, when did the dignified Troll Warrior fall to the point where he needed to hide behind a support class?
"Mr. Zambit, have you forgotten that I also know martial arts?" Sellent smiled and pulled out a metal rod from his spatial bracelet, which was similar in length to the original Guardian Hammer, which Elfise gave him just in case after the Dungeon Battle - this metal rod was also one of the trophies that Alfie had brought to Ingneil's lab in the first place.
"Huh, this thing...... Why do I look so familiar?" Barnett scratched his head, the swarthy iron rod always gave him a sense of déjà vu, and he could be sure where he had seen it.
"Maybe you've dreamed something like that after getting drunk sometime?" Zambit teased, he couldn't accept Barnett's habit of having a drink all the time. In the opinion of the Troll Warrior, a warrior should always keep a clear head, and spirits, which can reduce reactions, should not be touched without touching them.
"I have to admit that even if your mind is not so bright, you can sometimes get to the point, this is the so-called fool's thousand thoughts, right?" Barnett nodded and replied solemnly. His answer made Zambit's forehead bruise, and he almost couldn't help but give the old dwarf a hard blow with his spear, and the troll warrior couldn't accept the fact that his IQ was crushed by a drunk.
"How is it? Do you accept my suggestion?" Seeing that the two were about to start an internal fight, Celent hurriedly interrupted.
"Have you discussed your plan with Alfie?" Zambit asked a little uncomfortably after making a note in his heart to the old dwarf.
"Alfie wouldn't object. Silent replied vaguely, knowing in his heart that Alfie would not agree to him doing so, even though it might be the best thing to do right now.
Septe had a faint illusion that after reuniting with Alfie, Alfie always protected him well intentionally or unintentionally, and refused to let him take risks easily.
After entering the real game level, it was clear that whether it was Koco's fish-man army or Elfie's defensive fortress, Silent's divine magic could play a huge role, but Alfie let him join the squad that harassed the enemy.
Even if Syrent was sluggish, he knew that it didn't matter if he didn't do anything—in fact, they didn't do much along the way other than to detect the movements of the mechanical monsters in advance—so Celent suspected that Alfie had actually made Zambit and Barnett his personal bodyguards.
Despite the lack of actual evidence – with Alfie's intellect it was absolutely impossible to leave Celent with any leverage – Septe had always felt that way. So after deciding to face the metal tentacles alone, Silent didn't telepathically tell Alfi about his plan.
Perhaps a little selfishness, Celent wanted to prove that he didn't have to be Ellefi at all - and Celent himself didn't realize when this competitive mentality began to affect him.
"Okay then, as long as you can keep yourself safe. Zambit completely misunderstood what Celent meant, he mistakenly thought that this was actually Alfie's plan, but Celent may not want to admit it head-on because of his self-esteem.
"Little bald head, are you sure?" Barnett glanced at Serent suspiciously, he knew Serent far better than Zambit, if this plan was really formulated by Elfie, with Serent's character, he would definitely not take it.
"Of course you are sure, you must seize the opportunity! After breaking out, you must find a way to complete the task assigned by Alfie and harass the other party as much as possible. After Celent finished speaking, he did not give the two of them a chance to continue questioning, and began to chant the incantation of divine light.
