However, Violet did not press her advantage. After subduing the boy, she slowly pulled away, maintaining a safe distance from him.
The boy knelt on the ground, his peripheral vision catching sight of the nearly empty hourglass. Despair overwhelmed him, and the fear of death finally made him burst into tears.
"Why? Why am I the one who has to die? I still have a wonderful life ahead of me to enjoy!"
After crying for a while, the boy suddenly looked up, staring intently at Violet with endless resentment in his eyes. "Do you think you're so kind? It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I might have won. You're the one who's causing my death, hahaha, let's die together, you bitch."
Violet watched the boy gradually descend into madness. Every word he said was exactly what she had expected. She wasn't exactly disappointed, but she was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
"While you are not worthy of salvation, whether or not you are saved has nothing to do with your own will."
Despite being on the verge of death, Violet uttered a peculiar remark, though it was unclear whether she was warning the boy or comforting herself.
The boy felt as if he had been ignored, but looking into Violet's deep, star-like eyes, he couldn't utter a single word. He suddenly felt his own insignificance, and his fear slowly faded. A different feeling rose in his heart. It seemed that a person's life and death were really just a trivial matter, even if the person who died was himself.
Ignoring the somewhat dazed boy, Violet turned to look at the fat man with murderous intent, a hint of pity on her face.
"Farewell." Violet mouthed to the fat man.
The fat man understood Violet's meaning, but he couldn't comprehend it.
But none of that matters anymore, because the time limit has expired, and all he has to do is kill the two people in front of him according to the rules.
The fat man raised his hand, and a terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from it. Unlike the previous slight punishment, this time he intended to kill.
"Sizzle".
Just as some people closed their eyes because they couldn't bear it, six beams of light descended from the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Each beam of light precisely targeted a robber, yet none of them uttered a sound.
The dazzling light stung a little, but the beam of light came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only six cylindrical craters.
As for the six bandits, not even ashes remained.
"His Majesty the Emperor has activated the city's protective formation; we are saved." Among the students were many knowledgeable individuals who recognized the significance of the situation.
"Great! We're saved!" The crowd cheered, and many people hugged each other, celebrating their survival.
Only Violet remained calm, and only he noticed that an invisible hand reached out from the void and took the black box that the fat man had placed on the ground.
······
"This little girl is quite clever," the emperor said admiringly, looking at the projection in the palace.
With the help of the city's protective array, the emperor could see anything happening in any corner of the capital, but he could not hear anything.
The emperor was initially puzzled as he watched the two students chasing each other, but as he watched, he discovered a pattern.
Although Violet was constantly on the run, her escape route was predictable. It was not easy for those looking at her at eye level to notice, but for the emperor, who could see the whole situation, the information was crystal clear.
It wasn't difficult at all; Violet simply pieced together her route into a few words.
"The bad guys are going to kill someone! Help!"
The emperor originally intended to wait for the ransom messengers to arrive before taking action, but since the hostages' lives were threatened, he had no choice but to act ahead of schedule.
Looking at another projection in the corner, this human emperor was actually praying there, "The safety of Philliss is in your hands. Don't let me down, Wu Yu, the dragon slayer."
He then placed his hand on the scepter beside him, about to wield the supreme power of the entire empire.
······
"Sizzle".
A buzzing sound came from the earring used for relaying messages, and the bearded man suddenly stood up.
He knew that Fatty and his gang should have been wiped out, and according to the leader, he now had one minute to escape.
The leader ordered him to release Phillis safely at this time, but because of Wu Yu's appearance, he now has other ideas.
The bearded man struck out with his palm, aiming directly at the sleeping Phillis.
Although Wu Yu acted unreliably, he never slacked off in the slightest, keeping his eyes fixed on Philliss. Wu Yu also made a timely judgment at this moment.
The skill's description was a bit vague, and Wu Yu didn't know exactly how powerful it was. However, Wu Yu was unwilling to sacrifice his other arm for Phillis, so he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
A desperate gamble
Description: Special skill that deals damage to enemies based on weapon quality. After use, the weapon will suffer significant damage.
PS: You found out after all. That's right, besides grinding, spending money is always the unchanging truth for gaining power. But for those poor losers who can't even afford an iron sword, they should just go to sleep. Being a nuclear-powered swordsman isn't something anyone can do.
This move has nothing to do with the user's strength; its power depends entirely on the equipment. Once, when playing a game, Wu Yu was provoked, so in a state of extreme anger, he detonated a top-tier piece of equipment and defeated the high-level player whose attributes were superior to his.
But because it was just a PVP match, people often called him a simpleton behind his back.
