Chapter 110 Holographic Online Games Are So Cool (Chapter 31)
This is undoubtedly a protracted battle.
Players logged off several times, and at the same time, they also noticed that as the war intensified, the recovery time after they died was getting shorter.
A day... half a day, a few hours.
For players with different time flow rates, this is not a torment, but rather a rest time interrupted from the battlefield.
But this is different for the original inhabitants of this world!
They were constantly bleeding and sacrificing themselves in battle, and after realizing that players were an anomaly who could be resurrected time and time again...
Negative emotions such as jealousy were released from Pandora's box, but what was outwardly apparent was a dependence on the players—
They placed the players in the most important position, attempting to use the players' repeated deaths to ensure the survival of more of their own people.
Players accepted being pushed into the fray quickly; most of them weren't even aware that they were being used...
The world is a game!
Their eyes gleamed, filled with nothing but desire as they faced a battle that the natives dreaded! And so, like a pack of fearless wolves, they pounced on players from other factions and those NPC enemies!
"This is...troublesome."
Freya's eyes held deep resentment; the undead were going mad, causing the number of dark creatures to steadily decline...
In just a few days, their forces were reduced to more than half!
What is the origin of these undead? Freya couldn't help but wonder. She wasn't afraid of the threat posed by the undead, but their actions were tantamount to provoking her king!
"Cough, cough..."
Luo Xinxiu exhaled a breath of stale air. Unlike some players who chose a time to log off and rest, he fought and fought from beginning to end!
It was as if this thing wanted to become one with him; its aura was deeply engraved in Luo Xinxiu's soul.
He is undoubtedly undergoing a transformation... and Si Yisi is merely an observer!
Si Yisi wouldn't instruct Luo Xinxiu on how to fight at all times; he would have to rely more on Luo Xinxiu's own exploration. He would only reveal the most crucial information at critical moments, allowing Luo Xinxiu to avoid this death.
Si Yisi ruthlessly exploited Luo Xinxiu, guessing that the soul inside Luo Xinxiu's body, who had no memory, was his target.
The loss of memory does not affect the subconscious.
Therefore, although Luo Xinxiu was self-conscious, he possessed an unwavering will that was unimaginable to ordinary people!
Freya looked at him: "You still have a long way to go."
Luo Xinxiu clenched his fist and gave a small smile: "Yes, I still have a long way to go—"
His gaze swept across the battlefield, where every fallen dark creature knelt down in its final moments, facing the direction of Si Yisi's throne!
Looking down from mid-air, one would see the dark creatures forming a circle, and at the very center of this circle resided the entity they worshipped—
Demon King's Thoughts!
Such fervent faith is truly astonishing! It even gave Luo Xinxiu a chilling sensation, making him wonder what drove them to dedicate their entire faith.
Luo Xinxiu couldn't quite understand...
But this still made his blood boil!
Even in death, my heart remains with my faith.
In comparison, the soldiers of the seven tribes, who often revealed their ugly side before death, seemed so... insignificant!
It was as if their morale would collapse at any moment! They were not even as good as the first batch of vanguard soldiers who sacrificed themselves... This was not a disciplined and united army.
They seem more like parasites hastily cobbled together to eat military rations.
"Go!" The blond, blue-eyed foreign player [Carlos] strode forward, laughing like a ferocious lion, having successfully and temporarily gained control of people's hearts...
This lion couldn't wait to get out of its cage!
This battlefield has become the players' home ground!
How could the domestic players show weakness? Shouts rose and fell, echoing through the sky, with even war drums adding to the excitement! After getting their hands dirty with blood, the players who participated in the battle all improved to varying degrees!
Moreover... as the battle intensifies, players will no longer lose experience points when they die again!
With his strong liquor and cold demeanor, he stealthily roamed the battlefield. Having lost the advantages of the Berserker Mage, he was destined to only be able to charge into the front lines through methods similar to assassination!
He looked in Luo Xinxiu's direction, his hatred growing stronger, and even when he looked at Si Yisi, who looked similar to Luo Xinxiu, he was filled with malice!
Even now, despite the strong liquor and its chilling taste, they have never given up their plan to hunt down the Demon King.
His ambitions were sky-high, so how could he allow himself to fall from grace so suddenly? Therefore... now is the last chance for him to rise again, in Liejiu Qinghan's opinion!
What if I die at the hands of the Demon King?
"What kind of person is the Demon King?" Lie Jiu Qing Han thought to himself—"As long as he moves gracefully and elegantly, and withstands more of the Demon King's attacks..."
There's no problem with rising to prominence!
In the more central battlefield, Freya coldly swept her gaze across the players attacking her; Luo Xinxiu was also being engaged in combat by other players—
The current guild leader of Shengxing Guild, whom he didn't know very well, revealed his weapon to him, but the two did not develop a tense situation.
Yu Yin Rao Liang even gave Luo Xinxiu a friendly smile: "I would like to thank you properly—for helping to bring our former chairman down from his horse."
"It was only after he left that I realized how many loopholes had appeared in the guild—" Yu Yinrao Liang said sincerely, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as soon as he finished speaking, "However, it seems that before thanking you, we are bound to have a battle!"
The curved sword in his hand was eager to be used, and the crystal pendant on the hilt struck the blade with a sound like shattering jade.
Then, with the lingering sound, he drew his scimitar horizontally—
Without any fancy moves, he slashed at Luo Xinxiu!
"Ah..." Luo Xinxiu was stunned for a moment, but this did not affect the speed of his counterattack!
If it's war, then let's fight!
Freya also fully revealed the abnormality of being a fallen elf... her exposed, snow-white skin was covered with burn marks!
Wisps of black flame emanated from her body, flames that seemed to come from the depths of hell.
The player's body, touched by even a trace of this demonic fire... resembled a flower being scorched, its petals gradually distorting their original shape under the heat of the flames.
In the blink of an eye, the body of [Carlos], who was closest to Freya, was completely incinerated!
"Hahahaha!" Some domestic players couldn't help but burst into laughter. This pretentious foreign player actually thought he could kill the Demon King in one fell swoop?
As a result, it seems that he didn't even get a second of his life in the hands of the Demon King's general!
But in reality, once they got close to Freya, these players realized how naive they had been... It wasn't that the foreign players were too weak; it was clearly that Freya was excessively strong!
If things continue like this, the price they will have to pay to kill this general will be much greater than they imagined.
and--
Some players noticed that the Demon King Si on the throne was resting her cheek on her hand, and her raven-black hair covered half of her face.
However, the gaze that was constantly fixed on them and gave them a sense of oppression proved that the Demon King had been watching their every move!
What's even more outrageous is that while the Demon King was focusing his attention on the general's battle, Freya's ability index on the panel they were examining suddenly surged by more than half again!
"What the hell is this?!"
The guy who bravely roamed the battlefield filming, speaking out the true feelings of these elite players at that moment!
They watched as a blush suddenly appeared on Freya's cheeks, and then... this beauty flower became increasingly ruthless and poisonous! It was simply an insurmountable obstacle for players!
And all of this was because of a single glance from the Demon King...
"Mental exhaustion" is not enough to describe how the players feel!
Freya took a deep breath, and her smile grew even wider. Sis already had a premonition that she would win this siege.
No matter how many players there are, sheer numbers won't work against Freya. They say ants can shake a tree, but the players in front of her are far from capable of doing so!
They are going to suffer a crushing defeat!
The player struggled to stay afloat, but Freya stopped using her magic fire skills and instead began to perform a beautiful sword dance!
But when this sword dance comes to an end, it will be the players' time to die!
Think of a way, think of a way—the game developers can't leave behind bosses that players can't defeat, unless they don't want to continue making them.
The players' prayers seem to have worked!
Just as Freya's sword drew a perfect arc in mid-air, the gleaming silver blade poised to strike the players and slay them in one blow...
Freya's figure suddenly froze! A black rose phantom suddenly appeared on her chest, and at this moment the black rose was slowly oozing bright red blood.
The black rose seemed to correspond to Freya's own condition; in this sudden turn of events, she coughed up a mouthful of blood—
Severely damaged!
This mouthful of blood was not the end. Freya struggled to hold on in this painful way, with shocking bloodstains seeping from the corners of her eyes, ears, and other facial features!
Si Yisi was also startled... Freya had obviously been ambushed. He stared at the rose phantom that appeared on her chest and immediately connected Freya's recent abnormal behavior with it!
As a demon king, Si Yisi is able to detect things that ordinary beings cannot.
Therefore—
He discovered that the black rose on Freya's body exuded a repulsive aura, and this aura could be felt even in the vicinity of the battlefield and far away from it!
Si Yisi still hadn't figured out what had happened...
There were too few clues, and things happened too suddenly; even he couldn't make sense of it all for a short time!
But Sisley knew one thing very well: Freya was in danger!
Sure enough, although the players looked at each other in bewilderment, they were unwilling to let go of this excellent opportunity!
They simultaneously unleashed the most powerful skills they could muster, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, they all aimed at the black rose phantom that appeared on Freya's chest!
A dazzling light from the skill exploded before Freya's eyes, and she saw several attacks hurtling toward her heart.
But it was already too late; there was no way to help!
Closer—the attack is getting closer, it's about to pierce Freya's heart without any hindrance!
Blood...splattered everywhere!
