Chapter 243 - Arrogance, Laziness, Greed
When he heard this, Mike did not react much. In this short period of time, he was used to being invincible, used to being strong. No one could hurt him, no one could make things difficult for him, no one could make him feel danger. At least, except for the gods, he was invincible in the lower realm. Even the game's Timus could not defeat him.
So, this arrogance made his reaction slow.
He heard the sound, but he did not do anything. He just subconsciously looked in that direction. But just by not reacting and looking in the direction, he did not have any chance to do anything else.
He saw a dark green light and Angelina Sabrina's furious face.
When he realized the danger and tried to react, it was too late.
The dark green light was like a big net that completely covered his body. Suddenly, his feet seemed to have left the ground.
No, not just his feet!
His whole body was in a kind of floating state!
No matter how hard he tried, he could not exert any strength.
Without a point of strength, even if he waved his arms randomly, his body still floated in the same place, neither forward nor backward.
Soon he found the root of the problem.
It was the green light that enveloped his body. Now, the light had changed a little. Compared to the light before, this felt more like a ball of liquid. In fact, one could say it was like a ball of jelly!
That is right, Mike felt like he was in a ball of jelly.
When this happened, Mike's mood had fallen to the pits of despair. He finally understood how deadly his arrogance had been, and how weak he was.
So what if he looked invincible?
Without the laws, he could no longer create new passive skills. Even more so, he carelessly chose to lend the Umbrella of Meredith to Timus.
He thought that Timus would always stay by his side, and whenever he needed it, he could get it back.
He never expected something like this to happen.
He was brought here alone by the guards, and Timus, who had the Umbrella of Meredith, was probably still asleep in the guest room of the tavern.
Even so, Mike still had not used the right strategy. With his ability, it would have been easy for him to defeat a general and a group of guards who had probably made great achievements on the battlefield by force.
But because he was afraid of causing trouble, Mike chose the most peaceful, albeit the most complicated method to escape.
This was all because he was confident that he would not be blamed for this. After Nikorei arrived, Mike had witnessed the magic of the psychic, he was even more convinced that he could be cleared from his name. Anyway, it was Crow who killed her, not himself.
The greater the effect of the psychic to play out the scene, the more he could clear his name.
All of this was in Mike's naive mind.
But he did not expect that there was something in this world called an accident! And right now, an accident had just occurred.
And this accident, coupled with Mike's careless choices, had led him to a dead end. Right now, Mike was like a bird in a cage, completely helpless.
Even if he wanted to use violence to solve all his problems, it was too late.
Forget about launching an attack, he can't even leave the jelly ball he was trapped in!
At this moment, Angelina Sabrina's face, which was full of feminine charm, was only filled with anger and killing intent.
Her eyes bled. If anger could be turned into an attack, Mike would have been killed countless times by Angelina Sabrina.
"So, you really killed Veronica.
"Moreover, after committing such a horrifying crime, you still want to attack my other daughter, right now!
"Human, you have successfully angered me!"
Mike really felt fear this time. He even began to regret why he did not use the rule long ago to turn the ability of the umbrella of Meredith into his passive skill.
Even if it made the passive skill weaker, at least Mike would not have been in this situation.
This was all because of Mike's greed, laziness, and arrogance.
Mike did not make up any excuses for this because he knew very well that people believe what they want to believe.
Especially when the so-called truth is able to completely convince them, nothing could change their minds thereafter.
At this moment, all the explanations were starting to sound like excuses, and he was trying to think of a way to survive.
Subconsciously, he looked at Ulysses Sabrina. The Elven Princess was her accomplice, and now he had to ask her for help.
This was clearly the last glimmer of hope in Mike's eyes, but the only hope was fleeted after a mere second.
Angelina Sabrina stood between Mike and Ulysses Sabrina, which blocked Mike's line of sight. Her anger made her voice tremble.
"Even now, what do you still want to do to my daughter? !"
"You've already killed one of my daughters, and now you want to kill my other daughter. She's my last family member in this world!
"What is your motive? Why did you do this?!
"Who ordered you to do this?!"
Angelina Sabrina's voice had gotten louder and louder. She had been through too much tonight.
First, she saw her daughter's dead body, then she heard her first daughter mentioning that she wanted to kill her biological sister, and finally, she witnessed her daughter being killed.
And in the end, this human murderer actually wanted to attack her only daughter left in front of her.
The over-stimulation of events made her emotionally unstable.
Even General Osmond, who had been with her all along, had never seen Her Majesty like this.
After all, Her Majesty had always been amiable and calm. With how Her Majesty currently acted, it now even made him feel somewhat at a loss.
Subconsciously, he blamed these negative emotions on Mike.
"Your Majesty the Queen, let me kill him and avenge Her Highness the Princess!"
With a clang, Osmond drew the sword at his waist, as if he was going to chop Mike's head right then and there.
However, Angelina reached out to stop him.
"Wait, Osmond."
Osmond was slightly stunned and turned to look at the Elven Queen.
'Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen has subsided her anger so quickly?' He subconsciously thought so.
Angelina's next words made him truly understand what the anger of the royal family was.
"I want to keep him alive and let him be executed in front of all the Elves tomorrow.
"I want to cut off his flesh piece by piece until he is completely dead.
"I want to let him completely experience what true despair is, what true pain is, and what true fear is!
"I want to let him have a good taste of my anger!"
