Chapter 394 Sir, Please Have Tea
Although Nicholas has his shortcomings, at least he is not a fool.
Not being a fool means that he can distinguish the order of importance of things.
The significance of the Spirit World Book is too great, and therefore, Nicholas attaches great importance to this cooperation with Dean.
He suppressed the bloodthirsty desire in his heart, and suppressed his ambition to kill Dean and turn the Five Kings of the Black Domain into Four Kings. After condensing a clone with props, the clone went to the target location to negotiate with Dean. The real body rarely abided by the agreement and returned to the territory.
A few hours later, Nicholas' true form appeared in front of the mansion.
He continued walking forward, one foot stepping into his home.
…
Going out is like sailing on a long journey, and going home is returning to port.
Even for Nicholas, home is a warm harbor and a solid fortress.
But in fact, Nikola himself knew that his home was definitely not solid - because of a very simple fact that Nikola's skill system was not linked to the formation.
He knows almost nothing about formations.
The level is at the level of "only seeing pigs walk".
After all, when he was at level 12, his wish was "others can't kill me, but I can kill anyone", not "I want to be omniscient and omnipotent". The level 12 system integration did not provide any skills related to the formation, and the system before level 12 did not have anything in this regard. Nicholas' personality also meant that he would never ask a strong person who was good at the formation to design a house protection formation for him.
But it's not a big problem.
In the entire Black Domain, who else can withstand the Pale Funeral and kill Nicholas, who has died billions of times?
Thinking of this, Nicholas suddenly stopped. His front foot had already entered the door, but his back foot was still outside.
No, it didn't before, but it does now.
The little kid named Xia Lin.
He is immune to his own Pale Funeral combo, and his recovery ability is enough to support him in fighting a long war of attrition with himself, gradually reducing the number of times he has died as a substitute.
So theoretically, in order for him to kill himself, he only needs the following prerequisite: create a death cage where no one can get out, and then fight with himself to see who can last to the end!
However, as soon as the thought came to his mind, Nicholas himself laughed.
"If I think this way, then what's the difference between me and ordinary people who choose not to go out because they are worried about being hit by a car?"
Anything is theoretically possible, so there is never a foolproof strategy or absolutely correct decision in the world.
Nicholas didn't believe that Xia Lin had the courage and time to build a death cage specifically for himself.
Just as he couldn't believe that when he returned home this time, the first person he saw was not his loyal servants, but Xia Lin.
"master."
The uniform voices rang out, causing Nicholas to look up.
In front, the servants had already received the news that they were about to return home, and had lined up neatly in front of the gate to welcome their master home.
The dual skills of mind-controlling blood and mind interference took effect, allowing Nikola to confirm that these servants were the ones under his control.
Nothing has changed.
Home is still the same as when I left it.
Nicholas lifted his legs, stepped his feet into the door, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He smelled the scent of white camellia.
…
There is a white tea garden in the house.
The tea seeds were purchased by Nicholas from the outside world hundreds of thousands of years ago. This white tea is also a rare variety, a treasure that can strengthen the soul and calm the mind.
Whenever the camellia flowers bloomed, Nicholas liked to stand in the tea garden to relax and alleviate the mental oppression caused by the original dark side.
This trip was not smooth. Nicholas encountered his natural enemy and suffered setbacks, which made the erosion of the original dark side even worse. It also drove Nicholas to come to the white tea garden as soon as he returned home to calm his mind and stabilize his soul.
In the tea garden, Nicholas sat on a recliner, feeling the gentle breeze and the intoxicating scent of camellia. The blood red in his eyes gradually faded away, and he looked peaceful and relaxed.
A stronger scent filled his nose, causing Nicholas to open his eyes.
Then he saw that a traveler from the Ashes Zone named Yuan Zhuo had already brought the teacup to him.
"My Lord, please have some tea."
Yuan Zhuo said softly, Nicholas took the teacup and was about to drink it, but suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at Yuan Zhuo, and looking into Yuan Zhuo's clear eyes, he couldn't help but ask.
"When are you going to accept the Level 10 mission and leave the Ash Zone?"
The two had discussed this question before. Yuan Zhuo had been hesitant about it before, but now he gave a clear answer: "After this sequence war is over, I will prepare to leave the Cinder Zone."
Nicholas nodded, brought the teacup to his lips, and sipped the tea slowly.
After finishing a third of the cup, Nicholas let out a long sigh: "When the battlefield between the two worlds begins, I will help you."
"Thank you, sir."
Yuan Zhuo's main star is in Nikola's territory, but because it is covered by the Cinder Zone system, the main star is shielded and separated from this place according to the dimensional rules.
And when the battlefield between the two worlds is opened and the dimensional shielding rules disappear, Nikola can use certain means to participate in Yuan Zhuo's mission in the battlefield between the two worlds.
With the help of a level 12 expert, Yuan Zhuo’s level 10 mission is probably secure.
Of course, this is not without cost.
The price is: "According to the old agreement, when you leave the Ash Zone, I will plant the Heart Control Blood Seed for you, and you will serve me for 10,000 years."
Yuan Zhuo smiled and filled Nicholas's teacup: "I won't forget it."
Yuan Zhuo does not have the heart-controlling blood.
Because the logic is very simple - every time the Ash Walker enters/leaves the Ash Walker, the Ash Walker system will cleanse its own state.
This particularity means that as long as Yuan Zhuo does not leave the Cinder Zone, he will not be controlled by the Heart-Controlling Blood Species, which also makes Yuan Zhuo the only one in the manor who does not have the Heart-Controlling Blood Species in his body.
"My Lord, please have some tea."
The teacup was handed to Nicholas for the second time.
Nicholas took it, drank another third of the tea, and sighed leisurely.
"You are talented and strong. It is difficult to break through in this generation of Jhin because there are too many geniuses. But even so, you can still rank among the top ten."
"I believe that once you leave the Ash Zone, you will definitely be able to become my right-hand man."
Yuan Zhuo added more tea and handed the cup to Nicholas: "It's all thanks to your cultivation..."
"Gudong, hiss...it all depends on your own efforts. You have lived up to my expectations."
"By the way, sir, what about Xia Lin..."
With a "pop", the teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
A whistling sound wave spread out from Nikola's mouth, causing the white tea trees in the white tea garden to shake continuously.
"Don't mention Xia Lin to me!!"
His eyes were bloodshot again.
The two words "Xia Lin" seemed to have magical power, making Nicholas explode on the spot and unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
But after flipping over the teacup, Nicholas himself was stunned.
This shouldn’t be the case…
There is no reason for him to be so angry.
Yuan Zhuo on the side, as if performing magic, produced another teacup, filled it with white tea, and handed it to Nicholas with a smile.
"Maybe you didn't drink enough white tea... My Lord, please drink more tea, drink it in big gulps."
Nicholas also felt that it might be because he didn't drink enough white tea, which allowed the erosion of the original dark side to prevail. He gulped down the tea, and when Yuan Zhuo poured more, he drank it again.
Pour again and drink again and pour again and drink again...
Nicholas's belly bulged visibly.
Corresponding to the bloated belly, there were more and more bloodshot in his eyes, and his emotions became more and more unstable, like a volcano about to erupt.
"wrong……"
At some point, Nicholas suddenly stopped taking the tea.
Confusion took over the soul and the pupils began to shake.
He looked down at the teacup in his hand, then looked up at Yuan Zhuo who was still smiling.
Nicholas' chaotic brain could no longer support deep thinking.
This also made him freeze in place for a moment, like a sculpture.
When their eyes met, Yuan Zhuo's face began to melt.
Xia Lin's voice, coming from under that melting face, was like a nightmare, detonating Nicholas' soul!
"You just realized something was wrong now... Then you are really dead today."
It was like a ray of light that dispelled the chaos in my mind.
Nicholas roared: "You..."
However, before he could finish his words, the light of his skill had already erupted.
The skill that could have been easily avoided by Nikola was now firmly imprinted on Nikola.
Six-pillar level skill: pseudo-random permutation!
…
A level twelfth strongman is indeed special, with a sense of being out of the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements.
Because of the logical problems at level 12, a level 12 warrior can choose between two combat modes - a combat mode within the rules, and a combat mode outside the rules.
The combat mode within the rules is to compete with skill judgment. In this mode, a level 12 warrior will gain additional judgment weighting due to his level.
But the level twelve warriors in the Black Domain generally do not choose this kind of combat mode within the rules.
The reason is simple - they do not have an advantage in terms of skill judgment level, and there are very few six-pillar level skills.
Because they followed the wrong boss.
——Six-pillar-level skills and items all require the power of the six pillars to catalyze. Working under other six pillars, you have many opportunities to gain the power of the six pillars, but the original dark side is obviously a special case.
In a way, the twelve levels under the original dark side do have inherent deficiencies, which is why Wuxin heard the immortals say that the twelve levels of the black domain are garbage.
Now facing Xia Lin, Nicholas still doesn't know how to adjust his combat logic.
First, his brain was groggy and his thoughts were no longer clear.
The second is to adjust his death faster - facing Xia Lin's pile of six-pillar level skills, he would be really dead if he was judged to be dead.
The light flashed and disappeared, and there was still no prompt sound for the Ashen Zone.
However, Xia Lin had already adapted to the combat rules of level twelfth, and he instantly realized the effect of the first pseudo-random substitution.
It can be replaced, but not all at once.
The skill he chose to replace must be Nikola's recovery skill - Pale Crimson.
If he doesn't master this skill, it will probably take him years to kill Nicholas.
Under the interference of the God-given transcendent power, the gap between the six-pillar level and the racial foundation level no longer exists. Whether the skills can be effective depends on the energy reserves and attributes of both parties.
In Xia Lin's perception, pseudo-random substitution was like a rope, precisely tied to the skill of Pale Red.
However, the first pull only shook the connection between Pale Red and Nikola's soul, loosening it a little. Xia Lin had to keep pulling to forcibly pull this skill from Nikola.
Is this bad news?
No... this is good news!
The moment Xia Lin realized that pseudo-random permutation could really work on Nicholas, he had already grasped the crown of victory.
Nicholas is dead, today, even gods can’t save him!
This is no longer just a matter of system restraint.
It is the confidence that comes from careful preparation!
The shadow of the scale flashed by, and the fair trade reset the pseudo-random replacement CD.
Xia Lin slapped out with his palm, and the second pseudo-random displacement hit Nicholas solidly.
Along with the light of skills, there is also the roar of the emperor engine.
——In fact, the Emperor Engine had been started a long time ago, but it was just for disguise. Xia Lin had been suppressing the efficiency of this system before, so it can now run at full power.
The Emperor Engine amplifies attributes, with the effect of pseudo-random replacement of attribute amplification.
Just like a precision instrument, skills and techniques are like meshing gears, driving the machine's power to gradually increase.
However, Nicholas still could not avoid the second pseudo-random permutation.
He just stood there, motionless like a target.
Because of the secret medicine that Xia Lin carefully prepared, the medicinal power began to explode.
…
In fact, Nicholas himself did not realize where his biggest weakness lay.
But Xia Lin knew: it fell on the boss behind him.
It is common sense that all the people under the original dark side are crazy.
Nicholas, who looks normal, is essentially tortured by this curse-like rule.
This was clearly seen from the first conversation between the two.
But unfortunately, perhaps because he was in the Black Domain, most of the people in the Black Domain were contaminated by the original dark side, causing Nikola himself to be trapped in an information cocoon.
He didn't think this was a problem because other people were more seriously affected than him, and his condition was relatively better.
With such a comparison, how could he think that this was his weakness? This should be someone else's weakness, right?
He set the wrong reference standard, which led Xia Lin to seize the opportunity.
The medicine is self-developed.
It was not Xia Lin who developed it, but Scarlett who developed it.
But Victor had some help.
As early as in the City of Oath, the Ashes system had informed all travelers one day in advance that the final destination was the Black Domain.
The Black Domain is the home of the original dark side, and it is full of lunatics.
Knowing this situation, Xia Lin prepared a lot of big tasks for this group of crazy people. One of them was the secret medicine called "the medicine that leads to ascension to heaven" that was mixed into the white tea and drunk by Nicholas!
This is not real poison, but rather a magical elixir.
The effect is simple: it can strengthen the user's compatibility with the Way of Heaven and enhance their induction with the Way of Heaven.
Of course, under Victor's guidance, the potency of this medicine was a bit too strong. Just now, Xia Lin used fair trade in advance to once again enhance the potency of this medicine.
The real ascension to heaven was thus produced. It was colorless and tasteless, and mixed with white tea, it was drunk by Nicholas.
The essence of the finished product of the Ascension is actually just the racial foundation level, but you, Nikola, did not choose the fighting method of fighting based on judgment.
As soon as the medicine entered his stomach, its effect began to take effect. Nicholas was strong enough, so he took the medicine directly by drinking it, but he still suppressed the effects of the medicine and endured it for a very long time.
But this secret medicine did have some effect after all.
And when this certain effect begins to appear, the main force taking effect is no longer the ascension, but Nikola himself, and even the backstage behind him - one of the six pillars, the original dark side!
The essence of guiding people to ascend to heaven is actually just an introduction.
The real uncurable poison is the relationship between Nicholas and the original dark side, or simply put, it is the original dark side!
So at this moment, Nicholas heard the call of the gods...
Chaotic noises filled the brain and began to tear the soul apart.
The original dark side instinctively hates wisdom and even hates life.
Therefore, His followers do not need wisdom or vitality - just like those evil gods!
It's like a steel bar stuck in the skull, and then it starts to stir.
The higher power made Nicholas cry and wail miserably!
He simply ignored Xia Lin's actions.
Because compared to Xia Lin, the original dark side is really a bigger and more direct crisis.
But Xia Lin's threat level is not weak and can be very deadly.
Caught between two attacks, Nikola couldn't have the best of both worlds.
The only thing waiting for him is death!
The solid skill was finally pulled by the rope called pseudo-random replacement.
The roar that did not exist but was clearly heard by Xia Lin flashed by.
Faintly, Xia Lin seemed to see a pale white skill light ball breaking away from Nikola's body and falling into himself.
Pale Red skill, get it!
Without this skill, Nikola's defense system would no longer be self-contained.
The pain of losing skills allowed Nikola to temporarily escape from the pain inflicted by the original dark side and awakened his self-awareness.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Lin. The bloodshot in his eyes merged into one, turning his entire eyes blood red.
The next second, Nicholas turned and ran.
There is no shame in escaping.
Because escape is the only way to survive.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. This was the key creed that enabled Nicholas to rise from humble beginnings and eventually become one of the Five Kings of the Black Domain.
He had failed, even failed too many times, but as long as he was alive, everything could be saved.
Until there was a loud "boom".
Nikolai crashed into the hard energy barrier.
The remaining sanity made him look up and around.
Then I saw that the entire manor was covered by a maze of treasures.
But this time, the core and eye of the Treasure Maze that Scarlett cast were no longer the Kuntian Mirror and the Sun Wheel Guardian Sword.
But it is a six-pillar-level treasure, the core of the world!
The core of the world stabilizes the world and increases the strength of the Wanbao Maze.
Just as the pale waves began to ripple out and Nikola wanted to follow his previous experience and break through the Treasure Maze within 13 seconds, Xia Lin reached out first and touched the core of the unified world!
Material mimicry is activated, merging into one core.
The Wanbao Maze system is still maintained, but the core has changed from the Unified Realm Core to Xia Lin who has merged with the Unified Realm Core!
Take yourself as the center of the formation.
As long as Xia Lin is alive, the formation will not be broken.
The deathmatch cage is built!
Looking at Nicholas who was stunned there again, Xia Lin stuck out his tongue and gently licked the corner of his mouth.
"Either you die or I die."
"I didn't give you a third option."
Nicholas roared like a wild beast.
But no matter how strong a beast is, it is just prey in front of an experienced hunter who has set traps.
Xia Lin took a step forward and threw a heavy punch, but just as the wind from his punch tore Nikola's face, Xia Lin suddenly stopped.
Because Nicholas really turned into a beast.
The horror of the six pillars was beyond Xia Lin's expectations.
The combination of the original dark side and the ascension has broken down Nikola's mental defenses. Nikola's behavior just now was just a last gasp. Now he has become a six-pillar puppet in human skin.
This is too fast!
Much faster than when Nicholas used Pale Erosion against Xia Lin.
But as soon as his thought turned, Xia Lin sorted out the internal logic - these professionals who were blessed by the original dark side were too deeply infected by the original dark side.
They are strong because of this, but also vulnerable because of this.
The distortion has spread from the soul to the body. Nicholas' limbs began to swell, and countless tiny flesh buds, like those on a baby's hand, emerged from his pores, like body hair fluttering in the wind.
The clothes of the intelligent creature began to rip.
Xia Lin was silent for just a moment, and another pseudo-random displacement hit Nikola.
Strategies always need to be fine-tuned as circumstances change.
If the ascension to heaven has no effect on Nikola, the Wanbao Maze with itself as the core can allow Xia Lin and Nikola to engage in a desperate fight - this will take a lot of time, but at least Xia Lin can ensure that Nikola will not escape from his grasp.
This is a bottom-line strategy.
Now that the effect of guiding people to ascension is so powerful, Xia Lin might as well pursue more benefits.
He wanted to strip Nikola of all his skills and then send him to death.
This is not difficult given the current situation.
Eighteen minutes later.
Just when Nicholas was about to transform into something indescribable, Xia Lin finally got everything he wanted.
The Wanbao Maze glows with endless light, and the light is like a furnace, starting to burn and purify!
Xia Lin took out a chapter of stability and used it.
So Nicholas' private space opened its door to Xia Lin.
As for the space props such as the storage ring, they had been seized by Xia Lin during the battle just now, and he took them all away.
Not until Nikola's physical body disappeared and even his remaining soul returned to the original dark side and disappeared without a trace, did Xia Lin immediately open the skill panel and look at all the skills of Nikola that he had plundered.
The strength and logic of level twelve were clearly presented in front of Xia Lin at this moment.
Xia Lin's focus was on the skill of Pale Funeral.
The pupil shrinks to the size of a pinpoint.
Because Pale Funeral's skill description is changing rapidly!
The original skill description gradually faded away, and a new prompt sounded in Xia Lin's ears.
[You do not possess the twelfth-level authority, you do not have the power of transcendence bestowed by God, the twelfth-level core skill: Pale Funeral, the effect is weakened. ]
New skill descriptions begin to appear.
[Pale Funeral (Racial Heritage Level) (Level 12 Core Skill) (Weakened): Active Skill.
Flowers are the embellishment of the funeral, music is the atmosphere of the funeral, a thin coffin, a few handfuls of soil, I will sink your body into the ground, and I will create a pale funeral for you.
Activation prerequisite: 10,000 Pale Waves effective strikes. 1,000 Pale Corrosion effective strikes, and the enemy must be in a polluted state. 100 Destruction standard stacking. 10 enemies' pure white crystal carvings as the main body. Time: 5 minutes.
Within five minutes, when you meet all the conditions for a single enemy, you can start a pale funeral for the enemy! This skill will hit the enemy regardless of the distance and will take effect. After the skill takes effect, the enemy will die and his soul will be scattered!
Note: After the ceremony, the music ends and everyone disperses. 】
The prerequisites have increased tenfold, the time limit has been reduced from ten minutes to five minutes, and there is no longer a causal-level kill effect that ignores resurrection items.
The strength of the entire skill has gone from being a killer to being a bug in the gutter, with almost no practical value.
But what Xia Lin cared about were the following two notes.
[Note: When you achieve level 12 and obtain the God-given Transcendental Power, the effect of this skill will be restored to its original state. You can also choose to disassemble this skill and turn it into God-given Transcendental Power. But please note that since you do not have a level 12 status, you cannot use God-given Transcendental Power even if you have it now. There is no way to disassemble the level 12 core skill in the Ashes Zone, please find the relevant method yourself. ]
[Note: The additional God-given transcendental power can greatly enhance the benefits you gain when you advance to level 12.]
Carefully savoring the meaning of it, Xia Lin suddenly laughed out loud.
The laughter gradually grew stronger, eventually filling the entire white tea garden!
"This is true. I owe the Demon Emperor a huge favor..."
Because at this moment Xia Lin finally understood what kind of advantages his Eternal Inscription Replacement System brought to him!
One of the advantages: At the twelfth level, this system can still break the opponent's skill logic!
Taking into account the skills of the level 12 bosses, they must be complementary, and a single move will affect the entire body. The significance of this battle has been clearly highlighted in the first battle with Nikola!
The second advantage lies in the two additional notes.
The eternal engraving replacement system can plant seeds and wait for Xia Lin to reach level 12 to reap the fruits!
Whether it is the so-called "benefits gained upon promotion" or having an additional super-super system taken from others after level 12, these are all manifestations of fruit and additional advantages that the Eternal Inscription Replacement System brings to Xia Lin.
These two professions are not in vain, and those bugs are not in vain!
Even what Xia Lin gave was far greater than what he received.
"But don't say I took advantage of you."
After all, the gift of the Six Pillars has already been priced.
…
Somewhere quite far away from the Death Star.
Nicholas's clone made of props has been staying here for more than half an hour.
He had a face similar to Nicholas, but his aura was so vague that it was obviously fake.
At a certain moment, the dummy suddenly opened its eyes, moved its body slightly, and then continued to move towards the Death Star with a more relaxed pace.
