Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up

Chapter 457 A Reborn Helper

When Lu Yu said they would die here, the eight laughed and started approaching Lu Yu.

"Don't think you're awesome just because you can defeat our boss alone. One against eight, what can you do now?"

"It's kind of worth exchanging five of your teammates for our boss. But, do you have the guts to do so?"

"Hehe, I can't believe you gave such a precious staff to Han Xuefei. How extravagant. No wonder she's so loyal."

"Come on, let's see where your confidence comes from."

The eight henchmen stood before Lu Yu. Huang Kai, who was behind Lu Yu, was already hunched over and getting extremely weak.

"Kill this guy for me, hurry!!" Huang Kai shouted.

The eight henchmen walked quickly toward Lu Yu. As they walked, they suddenly stopped and couldn't move forward anymore.

They tried lifting their feet but felt that their feet were stuck to something.

"Hey, what's going on? The surroundings suddenly got so cold."

"Hey, my shoes are frozen!"

"What's going on? My legs are also frozen!"

"Something's wrong. Where is this frost coming from? Shouldn't it already stop?"

"He has an ice elemental skill? That's impossible!"

At that moment, Lu Yu looked at the attackers and revealed a faint smile.

"Next, it's my turn."

He rushed toward the first person and extended his right claw. His sharp right claw directly pierced through the first person's abdomen!

The first person's death was an instant kill. These underlings were much weaker than Huang Kai, but they were a huge obstacle to Su Qing, Yun Zirou, and others.

The first was that they had a numerical advantage. Yun Zirou and Xu Yuan were supporting members, whereas Su Qing possessed average strength. The fact that Han Xuefei was the only person capable of inflicting damage did not improve their dire situation.

Their combat power wasn't strong, as they only excelled at in supporting.

After Lu Yu killed the first person, he immediately attacked the second person.

Swoosh!

The sharp claws struck out, leaving only an afterimage as they pierced through another stomach.

By the time Lu Yu rushed toward the third person, the attackers had unstuck their legs, breaking free from the ice, and could now move freely.

When Lu Yu got close to the third person, he swung his arm and clawed at him, leaving a few deep wounds on the enemy's chest; blood started pouring from the injury.

When the others saw this, they carefully surrounded Lu Yu and stared at him. Once Lu Yu took the initiative to attack, they would instantly surround him and fight him as a group.

Five people against one were barely enough to have the upper hand. However, these five people weren't enough to be a match for Lu Yu. His strength alone was enough to crush them.

Lu Yu took a few quick steps forward and struck out with his claws. As one of them raised his arms to block, the sharp claws broke them!

After cutting off the enemy's hands, Lu Yu swung his claws a few more times, slashing the enemy until he was covered in blood.

Killing him couldn't be any easier.

However, at that moment, a figure approached from behind. The attacker was holding a long, thin dagger and was about to stab Lu Yu's neck.

Lu Yu was wearing full body armor, which covered him entirely. Lu Yu's neck was the only slightly exposed part, so the attacker thought he could deal damage without breaking Lu Yu's armor.

However, before the dagger in the man's hand could pierce Lu Yu's neck, a ball of ice and snow smashed over, turning the man into an ice sculpture on the spot.

The three people next to him were all dumbfounded. In almost an instant, two of the five left had died.

"Damn it! We aren't his match at all. Let's kill these hostages! Even if I die, I'll take a few with me!"

One of them shouted, trying to get closer to the tied-up hostages.

As he ran, another ice ball hit the man, turning him into an ice sculpture.

After a short moment, only one of the eight people was left.

He was trembling, and his face was pale with fright. He didn't dare to look Lu Yu in the eye, and his arrogance was gone entirely.

He was certain he would die, but he just couldn't understand where the snowballs that turned his teammates into ice sculptures came from.

Suddenly, he saw the doors to the castle open, and a figure walked out.

The person was Irene, whose body was burning with undead flames!

She was burned to death by the flames and then revived. She was now Lu Yu's puppet, and he could control her.

The two snowballs were attacks ordered by Lu Yu. They perfectly froze the enemies and helped Lu Yu create an opportunity.

Lu Yu came to Han Xuefei and the others and untied them.

Xu Yuan quickly stood up and rubbed his muscles.

Lu Yu looked at his arm and asked, "How's your hand?"

"Not bad; it's recovering well. I sure didn't expect you to be able to gain control of Irene and turn the situation around."

"Otherwise, it would have been a little difficult to fight against them."

Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile, "I sensed that she died, and then I knew I could control her then. After all, this is part of my ability."

Lu Yu looked at Huang Kai, who wasn't far away. He dropped to the ground, crawling forward with all four limbs. His last desire to live told him that he had to distance himself from Lu Yu as quickly as possible.

Lu Yu walked over.

"Are you really going to continue crawling forward? Look, it's useless, and you're going to die soon. Sigh, why couldn't you approach us with some common decency? Well, I guess you now know the consequences of robbing."

Lu Yu started chastising him...

Huang Kai acted as if he didn't hear him and continued to crawl forward.

After crawling for a while, he finally stopped. His eyes were unfocused, and it looked like he had finally died.

"So, it's finally over? Sigh, I don't want him even as a puppet when he's in such a state."

Lu Yu returned to Han Xuefei and the others.

"Search them and take everything; don't waste anything."

Yun Zirou and the others began to search the corpses, stripping their equipment and items. They also checked their storage and found many treasures.

Lu Yu didn't pick up anything. Instead, he walked up to Irene and looked at her carefully.

Irene's skin was grayish-white, and she showed no signs of intelligence. After all, she was already dead.

"I don't think bringing her along like this is a good idea."

Lu Yu was thinking about whether he should bring her along with him. If he brought her along looking like this, he was afraid that something might go wrong or he might create unnecessary misunderstandings.

Suddenly, Lu Yu realized that since Irene was already dead, it meant she was a corpse. Although she could still act according to Lu Yu's orders, she was a dead being.

Lu Yu picked up his storage ring and muttered, "Come on!"
