Chapter 137: Like a dam collapsing, black blood pours out like a flood
Anson Lu opened his phone and checked the time.
It is now 12:12, which is noon. In other words, both the giant squid and the beam of light leading to the city in the sky should have descended on Tokyo.
"Oh..." Anson Lu was stunned, "It's really twelve o'clock?"
He turned his head and looked out the window. Two beams of light appeared on both sides of Tokyo's 'Ginza' and 'Sky Tree', like a giant tower made of light standing in the corner of the city.
Anson Lu opened the window, stuck his head out, and the cool wind blew on his cheeks.
"Which direction is Tokyo Bay..." Anson Lu muttered, looking around, "I'm really directionally challenged."
Guided by his intuition, he turned his head and looked towards the other end of the Tokyo Bay Bridge.
As expected, a giant squid was entrenched right above the Tokyo Bay Rainbow Bridge, with countless huge tentacles greedily extending outward, about to crush the historic bridge.
"They are all here."
Anson Deer retracted his head and sneezed due to the cold wind.
"Ah-Qiu!"
Cosimo stared at Anson's relaxed face and cursed in shock: "Are you going to play or not? The boss has been out for 10 minutes and you are still sleeping here?"
"Isn't he awake now?" Anson Deer touched his red nose, put his arm around Cosimo's shoulders, and walked into the elevator with him. "Let's go, let's go get that squid."
"Who's with you two brothers?!"
Cosimo gritted his teeth, his expression was so gloomy that it seemed like he could squeeze out black water. If it were in the past, he would have directly covered his arms with metal prostheses and punched this guy in the face.
But if we do this, Tokyo will fall...
Apart from Anson, Cosimo couldn't think of anyone else in the city who could definitely defeat the giant squid and the mysterious monster above the city in the sky.
There is only this sloppy and stupid guy!
No matter how much this guy deserves a beating, he is the best in the world. He has to be invited even if you can't. He is so hateful. It's a pity that I had a better impression of him before, and I thought this guy at least has some humanity!
I was wrong. It is not too much to expect this kind of scum to fall into hell and be roasted by the fire of karma ten thousand times!
"bite."
The elevator door slowly closed and the air suddenly became heavy.
"Oh, we are on the thirteenth floor..." Anson Lu looked at the elevator panel, paused with his index finger, and then pressed the button to open the elevator door.
Looking at the open elevator door, Cosimo was shocked and angry.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"The elevator is too slow. Let's try a more convenient mode of transportation." Anson Deer walked out of the elevator, came to the corridor, and opened the window of the hotel. "The Christmas sleigh is set up right in front of me."
As his order came down, there seemed to be thunder running and flashing in the sky.
“Yo——!!!”
The next moment, the reindeer's light cries echoed in the sky.
Two reindeer stepped into the air, trampling the fallen winter snow, dragging a heavy sled, galloping proudly from the other side of the sky and stopping outside the corridor window.
"Would you like to sit down?" Anson glanced at Cosimo.
"...Sit down." Cosimo curled his lips. "Speaking of which, if you want to release the chess species, you must first use the skill of that domain?"
"Chess Domain." Anson Lu said calmly: "That is indeed my core sequence skill, but I also have some chess types that are not restricted by the chess domain and can move freely inside and outside the chess domain."
"Is it really that perverted?" Cosimo was shocked.
Originally, the existence of this sequence of old chess players was already super-model enough, the only limitation was the scope of the field, but he didn't expect that Anson Lu actually had a chess type that could transcend the chess field? !
"We've already defeated the Boss, and you're still chatting here."
Anson Deer put his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, stepped on the windowsill, and jumped towards the Christmas sleigh in mid-air, standing firmly in the red sleigh.
He turned to look at Cosimo: "You are not afraid of heights, are you?"
"Who's afraid of heights?!"
Cosimo frowned, swallowed a mouthful of water, and imitated Anson's deer, stepping on the windowsill and jumping towards the sled parked in the sky.
"Sled, pull back a little." Anson Deer said suddenly.
"Huh?" At this moment, Cosimo felt light and fluttery. "What did he say?"
In an instant, the two reindeers pulling the sled moved backwards, and Cosimo's body fell empty. He fell to the ground from a height of nearly seventy meters in a daze.
"Fuck?!" Cosimo's roar resounded through the sky, "Anson, you stupid..."
The next second, the Christmas sleigh was speeding down and came right under Cosimo. Cosimo fell into the sleigh and stood there, not realizing what was happening.
After a while, he turned his head with a look of despair and asked blankly:
"Are you fucking sick?"
Anson Deer turned on his phone and said nonchalantly in a translator's voice: "My dear Mr. Cosimo, am I not proving to you that a sled runs faster than an elevator or a subway?"
"Anson Deer, you, wait for me..."
Cosimo was completely furious, with his messy blond hair sticking up his head.
"Sled, go to the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay." Anson Deer said calmly, "It's the place you went before."
“Yo——!!!”
The two reindeer worked even harder to shuttle through the cold air. People sitting inside the sled would be protected by an invisible force and would not be affected by the air pressure. They could only feel the temperature outside.
Although Cosimo was so cold that his scalp was numb, he still had to say: "It's really awesome..."
"Is everyone here?" Anson Lu looked at the squid on the Tokyo Bay Bridge and the dense black shadows outside the bridge.
Cosimo stared at the two reindeer absentmindedly and cursed, "They must be here! Gather at twelve o'clock. This is a matter concerning a capital city, and you are the only one sleeping in."
Anson Lu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not that late. I'll go straight in and tell them to get ready."
"No, you're going to do it right away?" Cosimo was stunned.
Originally, he thought that Anson Lu would discuss some tactics with the group of players first, but he didn't expect Anson Lu to be so reckless and start fighting without even saying hello?
Anson Lu sighed softly: "Don't you see, the longer we delay, the lower our chances of winning will be."
Cosimo was full of questions: "Why?"
He thought that Anson Deer was still on the road and hadn't even reached the Tokyo Bay Bridge, so how could he come to such a conclusion for no apparent reason?
"It is devouring the Rainbow Bridge." Anson Deer paused and said, "And... its size is growing, visibly growing."
"Get bigger?"
Cosimo suddenly turned his eyes away from the reindeer and looked at the dark squid. Just as Anson said, it was using its tentacles to "swallow" the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay while its body was slowly expanding.
January 18th.
Outside the Tokyo Bay Rainbow Bridge, a dense crowd of people gathered outside the bridge, led by Yu Mingdao, the representative of the general class, and two sequence players, Kamishiro Ruri and Yuliu.
Yu Mingdao stared at the giant squid and said solemnly, "Have you noticed that this squid seems to be getting bigger and bigger?"
"I see." Yuliu said calmly.
"Now that you mention it, it's true." A hint of surprise flashed across Kamishiro Ruri's beautiful eyes.
Yu Mingdao took a deep breath of cold air and said slowly, "It seems that we have to deal with it as soon as possible. If we let it swallow the entire Rainbow Bridge, the situation will only develop to an uncontrollable level."
Kamishiro Ruri took out the dark hilt from her sleeve and unsheathed the sword with her slender fingers.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, the chess player hasn't arrived yet. Our chances of winning are too low."
At this moment, behind Yuliu, Yu Mingdao, and Kamishiro Ruri, there are more than a hundred players of ordinary professions.
Among this group of players, 65 have changed their professions. Most of them are mages, archers and priests, with few warriors and assassins.
After all, warriors and assassins both need to engage in close combat with the enemy, so compared to players of other professions, they take much greater risks, and their survival rate is naturally much lower.
Among the player group, the most popular job transfer direction for mages is elemental mage or magic mage.
Few people would choose to change their job to "melee mage". After all, the original advantage of a mage is that they can output from a distance, have a higher tolerance rate, and do not need to rush into the battlefield to fight like assassins and warriors.
The output limit of "Melee Mage" is naturally the highest. This is a career change direction with both risks and benefits. If there is someone who can make good use of this profession, that person will definitely become the pinnacle of the magic profession.
Unfortunately, most people don’t have that kind of spirit.
Yu Mingdao was the same, but the basis for his job change was more sophisticated. His idea was that after fighting the Tokyo dragon for half a year, as a mage he couldn't just rush up on a broom and hit the dragon, right?
Wouldn't he be slapped away?
Yu Mingdao believes that providing the most stable output in the safest position is what a back-row player should do.
If one day, all the players in the back row choose to play in a life-or-death manner, then this game will basically be unplayable...
In addition to the mage, the archer's job transfer options include gunner and night hunter, and the priest's job transfer options include paladin and priest.
The Gunner gave up the "quick action" characteristic of the Archer profession and used bulky thermal weapons instead, pushing the output to the extreme of the profession, but with a relatively low survival rate, just like a fixed turret.
The Night Hunter is different. This job transfer perfectly retains the original characteristics of the Archer, and is a combination of "output" and "mobility".
Paladin is a more common job transfer direction for priests. The abilities are comprehensively improved on the original basis of the priest job, with healing capacity and group shields available.
Priest is a relatively rare career change for priests.
Compared to the Paladin, the Priest has lost the ability to heal, but has a group buff skill that adds damage to his own team, as well as a damage skill with a higher value.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Yu Mingdao couldn't help but ask, "Where's Anson Lu? Why hasn't he come yet?"
"I don't know..." Kamishiro Ruri said with a smile on her face, "But Cosimo has gone to find him, so don't worry, that guy runs very fast."
“It’s coming.”
Yuliu Mena suddenly raised his head and looked at a corner of the sky.
“Yo——!!!”
The light cries of reindeer resounded through the sky, and from the other side of the blue sky, two reindeer were pulling a sled and galloping towards them.
There were two figures sitting on the sled, and they were naturally Anson and Cosimo.
This magical scene caused the players to exclaim in surprise.
Many people had not seen Anson Deer's legendary chess skills, and they were all stunned at this moment. At first, they thought it was a monster spawned by the Sky City, and almost used their skills to knock the sled down.
"He's here." Yu Mingdao said deeply.
Kamishiro Ruri smiled seductively, "What a grand way to make your debut."
Finally, the Christmas sleigh rushed to Tokyo Bay at a terrifying speed and stopped right above the giant squid.
Suddenly, the squid, which was as black as a ghost, angrily stretched out two huge tentacles towards the sky, determined to drag the sled into the sea!
"Damn it, why don't you park in a better place!" Cosimo shouted in shock, lying on the corner of the sled.
"Can you stop swearing, little brat?" Anson Deer said calmly, "Christmas sleigh, use the skill - Deer Roaring Thunder Flash - on the tentacles. At the same time, place the bone hedgehog in my hands."
As the command came down, the two reindeer stomped their hooves in the air again and again like a pair of cows ready to go. Lightning poured out, transmitted to their silver horns, and accumulated at one point.
"boom!!!"
The next moment, the two reindeers twisted their heads, as if thunder had descended upon the world, and violent lightning roared out from their horns, like a laser sword, shooting forward with unstoppable force.
"roar!!!"
In an instant, lightning struck the two tentacles of the giant squid, causing the squid to roar. The terrifying electricity was transmitted along the tentacles, as if the entire Tokyo Bay's water had become the medium for its transmission.
Not only that, there was also a small hedgehog in Anson Deer's hand.
"Bone Hedgehog, play with him."
Anson Deer threw the bone hedgehog downwards with an expressionless face. The bone hedgehog expanded violently within just a few seconds of landing, and in an instant it was more than ten meters wide and long.
[Bone marrow growth (after placing the bone hedgehog, the size of the bone hedgehog will continue to expand and grow. The specific growth limit depends on the level of the chess type)]
Finally, the white monster smashed right on top of the giant squid.
"Use the skill, Violent Bone Spike." Anson Lu further said.
[Violent Bone Spikes (The Bone Hedgehog stops growing and extends its bone spikes all over its body, causing piercing damage to surrounding enemies (the damage depends on the growth of the Bone Hedgehog), and after five seconds, the Bone Hedgehog disappears)]
As Anson Deer finished his words, the bone spurs on the hedgehog's back grew outward at a violent rate, piercing the giant squid's body in an instant, causing it to wail miserably.
Just like a dam collapsing, black blood poured out from the breach in the squid's body like a flood.
“Roar——!!!” The giant squid was furious.
The next second, under the further pressure of the Bone Hedgehog, the Rainbow Bridge collapsed.
In just a blink of an eye, the giant squid fell into the sea, its entire body was ravaged by horrific electricity. The surrounding sea water became a greenhouse that nourished the electricity, further torturing the squid's entire body.
【Perfect Hit!!!】
[Boss Giant Squid HP: 100% → 78%]
[Current damage ratio panel]
[NO.1——Anson Deer (former chess player): damage accounts for 22%]
Only after looking at the refreshed damage panel did all the players recover from their shock, and they couldn't help but gasp.
Is this... the strength of being the best in the world?
Such emotions appeared in everyone's heart and ignited the spark of hope for them.
