Chapter 106 Holographic Online Games Are So Cool (Twenty-Seven)
[Dark Servants under the King's gaze, single-target combat power x2, duration 72 hours!]
A player from the Dark Faction was overjoyed as his attributes on the game panel skyrocketed before his eyes!
Similarly, the power of the "Demon King's Gift" was truly reflected on their spiritual level, giving the dark creatures and their dark followers present an improvement in all aspects!
"Amazing!"
The player clicked his tongue in admiration, but seeing how chaotic the place was, he quickly ran away, wanting to leave the battle and try it out somewhere else.
But the moment he touched the edge of the battle, all of the player's game attributes plummeted, and his character instantly...
He died instantly!
The player stared blankly at his screen, which was completely gray, with a line of small, bright red text above his death declaration...
[The Demon King's Punishment: If you, having accepted the Demon King's gift, develop a fear of battle and regard him as a deserter, you will pay the price!]
Oh my god, a sinkhole!
The player stared in disbelief at the countdown to the ban on resurrection displayed on the panel: 24:00:00
Being unable to revive for 24 hours is a fatal blow to any player, let alone in such a crucial battle against the Demon King!
A few players had this idea, some of whom wanted to take this opportunity to hunt down some small bosses. However, when they stepped out of the battlefield encirclement, they were all punished by the Demon King without exception.
This also made the players of Stellar realize how decisive and ruthless Demon King Si's methods were!
Si Yisi coldly watched the chaotic scene of fighting below...
Si Yisi had anticipated that players in the dark faction wouldn't be very obedient.
After all, even though his existence is highly sought after by players, players are not inherently as absolutely obedient as dark creatures!
Simply put, he's born rebellious!
That's why Si Yisi set up the Demon King's Punishment as a restriction; he wanted to squeeze every last drop of profit out of the players and send a message to those with disloyal intentions—
Fight or die!
He doesn't keep useless people around... Si Yisi sat on the throne. Freya's appearance was merely to boost morale and get things off to a good start. Now that her purpose was achieved, she retreated to the background to stay by Si Yisi's side at all times.
Her face was as cold as ice, her hand gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, as if she could suddenly strike and kill any enemy who approached Si Yisi at any moment!
Freya is a decadent and alluring flower, extremely poisonous!
Si Yisi looked down at the battlefield from his vantage point; what he saw was mostly chaotic, disorderly fighting.
However, not every battle formation is chaotic. For example, the remaining vanguard of the seven races in this world, although they suffered heavy losses upon arrival, maintained considerable discipline and were a very brave assault army!
Several smaller encirclements also exist in the battle. These smaller encirclements are not as orderly as the armies of this world, but they still faintly reflect a certain degree of discipline.
If the vanguard was an army that acted as a shield, dragging the dark creatures down with death, then these small encirclements were sharpened swords!
The sword's edge pointed directly at Si Yisi on the throne!
These guilds that stood on the side of light set their sights on the first kill of the boss from the very beginning!
This role was a really novel experience for Si Yisi, and Chi Chun was absolutely right when he said the game was really fun.
Watching them desperately try to fight him, only to be repeatedly pushed aside by the overwhelming dark army, their expressions of helplessness...
That was really satisfying.
Freya smiled and asked Si Yisi, "Your Majesty, do you think those rats hiding in the dark gutters have escaped?"
She smiled, and the bloody scent emanating from the sword seemed to spread to Freya's eyebrows as well.
"Just... a clown."
As Si Yisi spoke, she couldn't help but think of Liejiu Qinghan being chased and killed, and then she thought of the several players who were said to have been tormented by NPCs for several days.
It is said that their escape was quite deliberate. Several players suddenly escaped from an inescapable situation at roughly the same time, which does not seem like a coincidence.
Furthermore, these players showed obvious signs of fatigue after escaping.
Clearly, the fatigue from this stellar game can be eliminated through multiple means.
This gave Si Yisi the feeling that... the rats behind the scenes initially targeted the players of the Star, and that they obtained something from the players through research!
What you obtain might be something more primordial... such as a wisp of soul energy!
“Just a clown.” The same words came from another person in another place.
He wore a long black robe, and his pupils were filled with an unnatural grayish-white color, indicating that he was partially blind!
"The Demon King was merely a decoy, her existence was meant to lull us into a false sense of security. But she was unaware that we had known of her existence from the very beginning!"
The half-blind man's voice was slightly high-pitched, like a hissing venomous snake.
"The fresh blood of the undead will be a bridge for us to leave this mirror world—" the half-blind man said emphatically, "Hold on a little longer, my brethren!"
"When this great battle against the Demon King comes to an end, it will be our time to step in!"
As he spoke, the half-blind man lowered his head and kissed the back of his hand, on which was tattooed a lifelike black butterfly, as if it could break free from the constraints of his flesh and take flight at any moment!
Freya seemed to sense something, and a tiny butterfly suddenly appeared in her heart.
On the butterfly's black wings, these words appeared: "[The day you leave is the day you are free.]"
But across the small gray characters was a thin, dark red line, the color of congealed blood, as if someone were vehemently denying the contents of the characters!
Freya suddenly pressed her hand to her heart, her eyebrows furrowing in pain.
“Freya.” Sis couldn’t have missed her unusual behavior.
“The King…it seems there’s something trying to interfere with my control over my body.” Freya gave what she considered the most likely reason. “But it’s alright, I’ll handle it.”
"..."
Sure enough, after a while, all the abnormalities in Freya's body disappeared. Freya naturally concluded that the person trying to interfere with her had failed—this kind of mental interference had been attempted more than once.
But each time, they were defeated by Freya's strong willpower! As a fallen elf who was reborn from endless suffering, even the most powerful forces of interference were nothing but paper tigers in front of Freya!
Siss didn't speak; Freya's unusual behavior stemmed from within herself.
The secrets she herself possessed!
Si Yisi glanced at Freya but didn't delve any further. He slowly closed his eyes, appearing to be taking a nap while seated on the throne!
This is a battlefield, a chaotic battlefield! Yet, the Demon King Si, who was constantly facing attacks, actually closed his eyes and took a nap in this environment!
This is... such powerful confidence, such great spirit!
Her actions were so bold that they were astonishing, but these daring moves only boosted the morale of the dark faction!
Humanoid and unformed dark creatures all emitted terrifying howls, sounds that seemed to come from a dark valley... nothing but eeriness!
In an instant, the power of darkness surged across the battlefield, and several streams of dark energy converged, becoming so powerful that they could even distort space itself.
It manifests as a solid black mist! But there's only one place, only one place where the rampant black mist doesn't exist...
Not a trace of black mist could be seen around the throne where Si Yisi sat.
They retreated to the surrounding area, creating a completely clean domain around the throne—they were like the most loyal subordinates, never daring to overstep the bounds!
Within this completely pristine area, Si Yisi was like a moth drawn to a flame. He quietly closed his eyes to rest, seemingly not placing a single thought on this battlefield...
Even though he appeared completely unguarded, he was surrounded by a seductive and corrupting aura.
This bewitching aura made even those who stared directly at Si Yisi's face gasp for breath... It was as if they were seeing a true god!
How could this be a character created by the mortal world?! Only the title of a god seems worthy of this demon king.
"Take good care of my body."
Siss casually conveyed this message to Freya.
He didn't take a short rest; instead, he directly "abandoned" this body and descended into Luo Xinxiu's body once again!
War is often accompanied by smoke and blood. One soldier after another falls, and more soldiers follow one after another to fill the void.
The game is so realistic that it almost loses all sense of realism; only the game panel next to the player reveals that it is just a game!
Luo Xinxiu has no shortage of strength, but he lacks practical combat experience...
In this blood-soaked battle, he briefly found himself at a disadvantage. But he wasn't the only player who suffered a similar fate.
Death became commonplace in the battle against the Demon King. Fortunately, players had the chance to resurrect and collected various potions and other aids, which allowed them to continuously die and advance...
A crazy path to advancement was forged with blood and flesh.
It also indirectly built a "path to heaven" for others!
Just as Luo Xinxiu made a mistake and was about to be killed in close combat by a warrior player...
A familiar sound exploded in my ears!
"Move two steps to the left," Si Yisi instructed.
