Chapter 2922 When Night Falls (XIV)
Chapter 2896 When Night Falls (XIV)
Cassandra's punches were fierce, and Schiller raised the candlestick from time to time to resist, but Cassandra's expression did not show any pride or relaxation, but became more and more serious.
She found that the opponent resisted too easily. Her greatest strength combined with internal energy and inch strength should be able to easily smash an adult male's arm into a comminuted fracture, but the opponent did not spend any effort to shake off her wrist.
This means a terrible thing - your enemy is much stronger than you, and even not at the same level.
This is very desperate, because this is not a difference in skills, but more like an ordinary person fighting a brown bear with bare hands. No matter how skilled you are, the difference in size and strength cannot be made up. Even if you are a kung fu master, you will still be crushed by a claw.
Cassandra's parents are both top killers. She has received the most professional training since she was a child. Even though she is limited by her body type genes, she really cannot grow into a huge body and her weight is a bit too light, but she is practicing internal strength after all, and the power she can burst out is far beyond that of ordinary people.
This is also the key to her victory over the ordinary Batman. When Batman faced her before, it was a bit like she was facing Schiller now. This confrontation was completely unfair.
But she really didn't understand how Schiller could burst out with such great power. Did he also practice internal force?
But Schiller was not the same kind. Cassandra could feel that those who practiced martial arts would have special inductions. Besides, the opponent's moves were obviously not hers.
Cassandra took the Eastern path. The method of martial arts practice was not very advanced, but it was also orthodox. Moreover, she was quite talented in this aspect. At a young age, her internal energy was condensed and her blood was full.
But there was also a disadvantage of practicing internal energy, that is, some idealism. Once she began to question herself, her internal energy would not flow smoothly.
Cassandra became more and more confused as she fought. Distraction in battle was a taboo. She didn't turn her mind around, and her fist was three inches shorter. Schiller seized the opportunity and did not turn his body to dodge. Instead, he leaned forward and pressed her shoulder directly.
With just this pinch, Cassandra felt that her shoulder blade had been broken. She was forced to groan, but she still twisted her body and broke free at the cost of breaking an arm, and then she kicked back again.
The combo was broken, and she just wanted to use this to force Schiller back so that she could have a chance to catch her breath.
But Schiller was not fooled at all. He did not dodge and took the kick. Cassandra was sure that his ribs must have been broken, but the next second she was also knocked out by Schiller.
This time it was not like the previous throw, which at least left her the opportunity to adjust her body in the air to unload the force. With such a head-on collision, Cassandra felt that she had hit a train head-on, and blood and internal organs spurted out of her mouth.
"Cassandra!!"
The Robins' eyes were blazing with fire. No one had ever beaten the strongest fighting master in the Bat Family like this.
Cassandra, who fell to the ground, vomited blood again, and her face became visibly pale. Because he was worried that the broken ribs would hurt her internal organs, Batman did not help her, but gave her another injection of treatment needle.
However, using two treatment needles in a short period of time would greatly reduce the effect, so Batman could only call Dick again.
But Dick's vampire magic treatment was limited. This evil spell itself was not good at healing. As soon as the purple light enveloped her, Cassandra felt that the wounds in her body were healing, but at the same time, her blood was disappearing rapidly.
Batman also found out, so he quickly called a halt. Fortunately, she recovered a little, and Cassandra was helped to the side to adjust her breathing.
Robin also realized that they were now in a very troublesome situation.
It's not that they didn't use long-range means just now, but most of them couldn't hit, and a small part of them hit the opponent without any reaction, and even the more injuries he suffered, the stronger he became.
Robin and his friends had never encountered such an opponent before. Even against Deathstroke, a round-robin battle would be useful. First, they would consume their physical strength and then injure them. Anyway, they had more people, so it would be more or less effective.
But facing Schiller, this strategy would not work. Obviously, the worse the opponent's condition, the better the condition. If they drag on like this, it is uncertain whether they can consume the opponent to the limit. They are definitely on their way out.
Fortunately, Batman was not just watching the fun from the side. He had already grasped the key.
He turned his head and shouted to the second floor: "Tim!"
The sniper scope focused instantly, and an anesthetic needle shot out. Schiller dodged it as expected, but a puff of smoke rose after the anesthetic needle landed.
Robin and his friends immediately covered their mouths and noses and stopped breathing, but it was obvious that Batman could not use such a simple strategy. This thing was not anesthetized by breathing, but by invading the wounds on the body, especially open wounds.
Although Schiller had a large area of burns on his body, he was also hit by two darts before, and there were wounds on his chest and arms. After contacting the anesthetic smoke, his movements immediately froze.
Even so, it did not really restrict him, so Batman called Dick again.
This time Dick understood what he meant, and he directly took back his magic to restrict Kongsu. Kongsu waved his staff vigorously, and a beam of moonlight shone on Schiller.
In an instant, the cuts and burns on Schiller's body were healed, and the burned clothes were replaced by cloth woven with silver moonlight. His body began to glow with a faint silver light again, and the protection of the moonlight returned. .
Schiller put down the candlestick, took a deep look at Batman, turned and walked out of the Batcave door.
Before Kongsu left, he only left one sentence, "It's almost dawn."
It was just a very ordinary sentence at first, but it made Batman's heart sink to the bottom.
The coming of daybreak means two things - the sun comes out and the moon disappears.
The former will severely damage the current vampire Schiller, and the latter will invalidate Schiller's moonlight protection.
And this also means one thing, that is, Schiller's intensity will reach its peak.
The only good news is that Schiller at his peak strength is not causing trouble for the Bat Family.
After a big battle, with almost everyone injured, Batman took the anesthetized Robins back to Wayne Manor and bandaged them up with Alfred and Schiller.
"What's your weakness?" Batman asked while setting Cassandra's bones.
"Do you think it's appropriate for you to ask me this?" Schiller was cleaning Jason's shoulder wound and raised his eyes to ask Batman.
"You are the same person."
"Yeah, so what's Batman's weakness?"
Batman remained silent, but soon spoke again: "This cannot be compared. You are obviously not on the same side, otherwise you would not come to my place."
"Most Batmans also work on their own."
"Is his weakness your weakness?"
"Don't you know very well?"
Batman recognized this in his heart. He thought it shouldn't be the case, or he didn't want to think that the two of them were actually the same person. This ferocious Moonlight Schiller was the young Schiller in front of him.
If this is the case, although their weaknesses are merged into one, their strengths are also merged into one.
The young Schiller is very good at fighting, which means that the old one may not be incompetent, but he may have mastered another skill during his long years of practice, that is, a gentleman uses his words but does not use his hands.
The problem is that his verbal destructive power is also very strong. If it is combined with the force value of his youth, he will be in big trouble.
It would be better to let the Teen Titans fight Deathstroke. At least Deathstroke doesn't talk much and only taunts when he speaks. Moreover, Deathstroke has no murderous intention towards these children. The Robins will only get beaten up at most.
But Schiller, in addition to being both civil and military, is also a madman, and the mental trauma he brings to the Robins may be much greater than the physical trauma.
Now, for Batman, vampires are not a big problem, but the surgeon next to him is much more troublesome than vampires.
Batman tries to negotiate terms with him.
"I hope you stay out of the Bat-Family's business," Batman said.
"Then do you think your children will let it go?"
Batman was speechless again. He knew very well that this fiasco would only make the Robins more motivated. Sooner or later, they would have to settle accounts with the younger version of Schiller.
Batman does have strong control over the Bat Family, but in this case alone, warnings are ineffective, and the more they are not allowed to go, the more they want to go.
Jason usually takes the lead, Damian helps, Tim builds bridges, and Dick paves the way. The only ones who can save a little trouble are the two girls Barbara and Cassandra. Can't live with the boys.
The matter was at a stalemate here, and Batman had to start thinking from another angle. He said: "You said there is another mole in the Bat Family, but the so-called surgery failed to trick him out."
"Perhaps he was deceived, but because of the existence of another me, the other party did not take action." Schiller raised other possibilities. He said: "It is also possible that he thought Moonlight was the intruder he arranged."
"Why is this so?"
"Don't think of this organization as too high-end." Schiller shook his head and said, "No matter who the mole is lurking in the Bat Family, his status in the vampire organization must be very high, otherwise he would not choose you as his opponent. "
"But not everyone is capable of leading such a large organization. Do you think any of your Robins can take over Wayne Group immediately without causing trouble?"
"Tim counts as one."
"So you may have eliminated another candidate." Schiller said: "Do you think if Tim wanted to take your life while you were weak, he would make the situation like this?"
Batman shook his head, not only because Tim had experience in handling things in Wayne Group, but mainly because Tim was not such a person. He was a bit like himself. Force was always the last resort, and the best way to solve problems without bloodshed was good.
"So if he were to do it, the possibility of poisoning would be much greater than finding an army of vampires to surround the Batcave, and he would be less likely to terminate his plan because of an inexplicable foreign intruder."
"So this mole doesn't have strong leadership skills." Batman thought, "He can't organize a decent attack."
"And he is very conservative and cautious." Schiller said: "If he broke in by moonlight and canceled the invasion plan after things changed, then he must not be a very radical person."
"But it's also possible that he made me think that way on purpose."
"It is indeed possible." Schiller did not deny it, but continued: "But if he wants you to distrust the Bat Family, it is best not to come up with any directional characteristics. It is indeed good to falsely accuse someone, but it is more beneficial for him to let you have no handle and keep guessing and hurt your feelings."
Batman recognized this because he knew that the Bat Family was just a bonus, and the other party's biggest goal was still to deal with Batman.
So doing certain actions to lead Batman to guess someone may indeed make Batman feel difficult, but it is only a short-term pain, just like Dick.
Not revealing any flaws and letting Batman suspect everyone equally is a long-term pain, and being able to keep distracting Batman's attention is the best approach.
Then the other party's exposure of certain personality traits is not a deliberate strategy, but more likely to be incompetent and forced to expose.
But when it comes to incompetence, these members of the Bat Family also have their own shortcomings, and no one is perfect. It is still too difficult to truly determine a person's suspicion based on this small mistake.
However, this tactic of deliberately creating confusion and luring the enemy into deep territory cannot be used a second time in a short period of time. So what should be done next?
