Chapter 78: Dare to attack
Riven had a lot of thoughts, like how he absolutely didn’t want to be where he was right then. He began to calculate how he could get out of the problem, and he came up blank each time.
Even his Undying effect wouldn’t work because when he came back to life, he would still be standing right there.
Wait, Riven frowned.
"...if I put the necklace on and ask him to run out of the place while I distract Zandrel with my life... that’ll work, but the problem is that I don’t know if there’s a shield formation in place... there is... so instead of making my escape... my secret will just be revealed..."
Riven took a deep breath as he felt everything close around him, as if he was between the jaws of a monster and the monster was slowly but surely closing its jaws.
He began the process of summoning the Grave Knight, but the slightest bit of aura that leaked out of him made one of the constructs react.
The big statue twitched and then blurred forward, its fist snapping out. Riven didn’t even have enough time to blink properly before the blow slammed into his chest and sent him skidding to the back.
Pain flared in his chest, and he felt as if something had been broken. He gasped for breath, blood dripping from his mouth, but he dragged himself away—just in time too, as a stone foot crushed the place he had just been.
He tried to stand properly, but he swayed, his body trembling. Just one punch, and he had almost fainted. Any hopes that he had about fighting back were crushed. His only option lay in getting away.
He would have to risk using Spartacus’s method.
