Chapter 276 "Stand up, Anson Deer, it's just a broken dragon, how long are you going to kneel?"
[The target has responded to the call of the "Gate of the Future". The time required for the target to arrive: the last eight minutes.]
The cold system prompt sound pierced into Anson Lu's drowsy brain.
When he came to his senses, he was standing on the edge of the deep pit in the city center. It was Urushihara Ritsu who used the Phantom Crow to move him at the last minute.
He looked into the distance and saw the Winter Dragon Guridag landed in Shinjuku.
BANG——!!!
Even though it was thousands of miles away, the roar that was loud enough to burst the eardrums was still clearly audible, and all the neon lights dimmed.
Lives were lost and the land was in ruins.
After the white dragon landed, it slowly moved its huge head and looked with its erect pupils at Anson Deer in the city center.
It's coming.
There was no trace of fear on Anson Lu's face.
The cold wind tickled his empty eyes. He took a deep breath, covered his face with his hands, and calculated the final chances of victory in his mind.
He only had the last three chess pieces of the Twilight Gods chess set left in his hands - the War Statue - Natasha, the Chief of the Gods - Capseus, and the Ten Thousand Knights Statue - Sugert.
As luck would have it, these three chess pieces were originally located in the deep pit in the city center, not in Shinjuku District, so they were able to avoid the attack of the Winter Dragon.
But it's no use anymore.
"Dusk Light", the most powerful move of the Chief of the Gods, has just been used and has entered its cooling period.
The other two chess pieces, the Ten Thousand Knights Statue and the War Statue, are simply not enough to deal with the final form of the Winter Dragon.
Also, he still had the door to the future left by the principal, whose use was unknown, but it would take another eight minutes for it to work.
Eight minutes...
Perhaps, he no longer has eight minutes.
Boom...
Boom...
Boom...
The earth shook violently.
The nearly three hundred foot tall Winter Dragon inched closer to the city center, as if searching for its final trophy.
Thick black blood was flowing on its body. This was the injury caused by the final self-detonation of the cyber mecha, but the wound was slowly healing.
[World Boss Name: Winter Dragon Guridag (Final Form)]
[World Boss HP: 70%]
A despairing panel appeared before our eyes.
Anson Lu's eyes moved, and he raised his head slightly, looking at the door to the future that was shining with deep blue light, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Principal, the door you left for me...what exactly do you want me to do? Are you trying to make me suffer for a little longer?
Or do you want me to struggle for a while longer?
Anson Deer took a deep breath of the dead air.
"Come to think of it, I still have a trick I haven't used yet." He lowered his head and said self-deprecatingly: "I'm very sorry, but please, come out and help me out."
Then, he held the card of the myth sequence "Anubis" and released the first skill.
[Mythical Skill 1: Gate of Rebirth (Unlocked at Level 35): Temporarily revive players and summons that died within 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, all resurrected creatures disappear.]
In an instant, a huge, ancient and solemn door opened in the sky.
This giant door from ancient Egypt slowly opened, and nearly three thousand players who died in Guridag's landing fell out of the door one after another.
They looked at each other in confusion, but soon realized something and their faces turned pale.
——They are already dead.
——And died completely.
Before the battle began, Anson Lu told them the function of the "Gate of Rebirth".
So, they also know... these are the last thirty seconds, the last time they can survive in this world.
Thirty seconds is neither fast nor short.
During this period, dead players walked out of the Gate of Rebirth one after another.
Some were growling like fools, some were roaring, they threw powerless flames and balls of light at the high white dragon.
Clean Hit
[World Boss HP: 71% → 69%]
That’s right, not even the skin was taken off, it was as weak as a joke.
All players who were briefly resurrected lost the bonus of the Light of Hope, and the boost that the Blue Bird brought to them in the future no longer existed.
They rushed out of the Gate of Rebirth like moths to a flame, heading towards the Tokyo Dragon that would bring them death.
But the Winter Dragon Guridag simply opened his bloody mouth and spewed out a breath of cold air.
Those players who squeezed out of the Gate of Rebirth all turned into ice cubes, and then shattered with a "crashing" sound.
A cold wave swept through, and the players turned into icy rain that sprinkled on the ruins in the city center.
Anson Deer looked up at the sky. The icy rain was very cool, just like the comfort and relaxation after letting go of everything.
Anubis's gate to the afterlife closed and then disappeared into the sky.
"By the way, there is another skill. What's its use..." Anson Lu smiled self-deprecatingly and activated another skill.
[Myth Skill 2: Anubis Gate (Unlocked at Level 50): The ancient Egyptian god "Anubis" has the power to open a "gate". The Anubis Gate can transcend all distances in the world and connect death and rebirth, the past and the future...]
In the sky, an ancient giant gate opened again, and the pattern of the god Anubis was engraved on the surface of this giant gate.
[The Gate of Anubis will open in four minutes...]
"Four minutes, again..." Anson Lu shrugged, his hair messed up by the wind, "Brother, how can I live for four minutes?"
At this moment, a figure suddenly walked in front of him. When he looked up, he saw that the man was Wang Youjin from the Chinese national team, also the man known as the world's number one assassin.
A hint of surprise flashed across Anson Deer's face.
"Is there anyone still alive?"
After barely escaping to the city center, Wang Youjin listened to the noise coming from behind him, gasping for breath, and then asked:
"Anson Deer, do you have any other tricks?"
Anson Deer was silent for a moment and raised his finger.
"Yes, there are, but not many, these two doors."
His bony index finger pointed at the Gate of Anubis and the Gate of the Future standing in a corner of the sky. These two ancient doors glowed faintly in the night.
Wang Youjin followed his gaze and asked hoarsely, "What is that?"
"I don't know either. Something will pop up soon, but you'd better run." Anson Deer said slowly:
"I feel like there's no point in doing this. We can't last more than a few minutes with just the two of us. It's not good to let you risk your life."
After a pause, he added: "Uncle Wang, we have already lost."
"No, we haven't lost yet!" Wang Youjin said firmly: "Although the dragon has entered its final state, Cosimo's self-explosion has reduced its health by 30%. We still have a chance!"
"Are you kidding?" Anson Deer sneered, "Look up, okay? The dragon is still resurrecting itself, and its health bar will be full soon. What chance do we have?"
Wang Youjin was still breathing heavily. He was silent for a long time, and his cloudy eyes looked at the Gate of the Future and the Gate of Anubis standing in the sky.
"Didn't you say you had another trick?" He swallowed.
"Just think I'm joking." Anson Deer sighed, "Face the reality, we don't have eight minutes."
"About...about eight minutes." Wang Youjin turned his head to look at the dragon and said intermittently: "I'll go and drag it away. Try to...keep the dragon away from you."
Anson Lu couldn't help laughing again:
"You're going to drag that dragon? How long can you drag it? Ten seconds. Don't lose sight of yourself. Stay away from me. Its target is me. If you run now, you might be able to run out of Tokyo before I'm eaten. That way, at least you can survive."
His voice was harsh, almost mocking. With his spirit on the verge of collapse, Anson Lu was too lazy to care about Wang Youjin's mood.
He only hoped that this idiot could realize how overestimating he was and get as far away from this place as possible.
"Listen..." Wang Youjin said hoarsely, "Anson Lu, listen to me."
As he spoke, he slowly turned around and faced the approaching dragon.
"You are, you are the best in the world, and I am just a mediocre person, a mediocre person who can barely see your back after trying my best..."
He panted and said hoarsely:
"I'm almost 41 years old this year. I've been a waste all my life and have accomplished nothing. Only in this game do I live like a human being and am respected by others. They all say that I'm the strongest ordinary player, but in front of you, I know I'm nothing... I'm still that waste..."
Anson Lu was about to refute, until he saw the hideous blood groove on Wang Youjin's back that went deep into the bone, he seemed to understand something.
No wonder this man is panting so hard...
Judging from his injuries, Wang Youjin is already dead.
With such injuries, he wouldn't be able to survive for long. He would be caught up by the white dragon and trampled into mud...
"But, young man, please..." Wang Youjin's voice gradually became hoarse. He smiled with relief at the end and said softly, "Even a loser like me... hasn't given up yet, so how can you give up?"
After saying that, without waiting for Anson Deer to respond, he had already spread his shadow wings, stepped on the wasteland and ruins, and rushed towards the white dragon.
Wang Youjin's back was deeply wounded, and no one could endure such a wound.
Therefore, despite having skills as support, his running posture is still very funny... stumbling, treading on thin ice, but determined.
Like a mad dog.
The Winter Dragon was soon attracted by Wang Youjin's attention.
Anson Deer felt his head swelling and slowly backed away.
Then, he raised his empty eyes and watched the Winter Dragon exhale, and watched Wang Youjin's right leg being frozen, but he was still running around desperately in the wilderness like dancing.
Finally, the Winter Dragon caught up with him in two steps, grabbed him, and swallowed him into its mouth.
Puff——
The teeth crushed the man's body and his blood spurted out, as hideous as a tomato being bitten into the mouth.
What on earth are you…
What are you still struggling for?
They are all dead...
They are all dead...
Anson Lu stared at the scene in a daze, kneeling on the ground almost hysterically. He lowered his head, and his messy hair covered his eyes.
"roar--!!!"
The roar of the Winter Dragon resounded through the sky, and the land within a radius of one thousand meters was completely covered with frost.
Anson Deer knelt in front of the giant dragon and murmured hoarsely: "...Principal, what should I do? In the end, I am still the same as you... Nothing has changed at all, okay? I haven't achieved anything. I just keep losing, keep losing."
Bang!
At this moment, one of the gates in the sky suddenly opened.
Anson Lu's messy thoughts were completely shattered.
He raised his dim eyes and looked towards the sky.
What opened was the Gate of Anubis.
"You are too outrageous..."
At this moment, a cold voice came from the other side of Anubis' Gate.
Hearing the familiar voice, Anson Deer slowly opened his eyes.
He raised his head and looked at the figure falling from the door.
That was a girl with dark brown eyes.
She was wearing the uniform of Shangshi High School, her skirt fluttered in the wind, and her long black hair swayed in the wind.
After Anson Lu landed, she took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and looked coldly through the Anson Deer at the slowly approaching Winter Dragon.
"Stand up, Anson Deer."
She crossed her shoulders and asked with disdain, "It's just a broken dragon. How long are you going to kneel?"
