Chapter 227
The fallen angel no longer represents light, but still has the ability to restrain Dark Shadow, not to mention that Su Xingyuan gave the administrator authority over part of the territory. Dark Shadow's presence here is equivalent to being thrown into the enemy's base alone.
Of course, it was also very happy to share the lord's worries, as the black shadow in front of it was one of the beings it hated the most.
Su Xingyuan's words "Light and shadow have always been born together" ignited its never-forgotten hatred.
It doesn't know whether Su Xingyuan said this intentionally, but this sentence does kill two birds with one stone. It looked at the fluctuations of divine power on the black shadow, which immediately became more intense, and uttered a brief sneer.
It will not kill Him, but it will torture Him in this territory until He has only His last breath left, and then wait for the harvest from the returning lord.
The golden light completely gathered, but this time it was no longer a thin line. Instead, it gradually evolved into a huge door. Facing the young lord, it tentatively extended a ladder for people to climb.
The dark-haired lord waited patiently.
This door seemed to be an illusion caused by light and shadow, or an image when the signal was not very good, flickering intermittently at a very high frequency. The golden light that made up the door surged faster and faster, and finally, as if it had finally confirmed something, it stopped high in the sky within the territory.
Su Xingyuan stepped forward.
The black shadow's reaction became more intense, from disbelief at first to suddenly realizing something. He wanted to rush over to stop him, but was stopped by the fallen angel once again.
The black-haired human didn't look back. He just said lightly:
"If you go any further, you'll knock on the door with your head."
This sentence did not contain any real murderous intent and seemed to have no deterrent effect, but it caused the black shadow's movements to suddenly pause.
Su Xingyuan pushed the door open smoothly.
The door seemed to still be trying to confirm his identity, so that the new god would no longer need to look for the door and could return to the temple at any time. However, no matter how it resonated, the magic power in the black-haired human's body remained unchanged, and not a trace of divine power appeared.
The door began to shake again.
The angel who was waiting for the shadow to come back suddenly realized something was wrong. It wanted to force the door to close, but the black-haired human had already stepped into it. In a flash, he came to the six thrones he had been to before, raised his head, and showed a happy smile to the angel who was once high and mighty but now alone.
"The last time I was here was last time," the black-haired human said briskly, slowing down and taking his time to move forward, seemingly with no intention of immediately starting a fight, "time flies by."
“…”
The angel came back to his senses at this time. He ignored Su Xingyuan's nonsense greetings and just stared at him coldly: "So... you took away their godhood."
Not only that, he did not have the slightest idea of using the godhead to become a god. He merely used the power contained in the godhead to temper his own body step by step. What a waste of God's gift!
No wonder his body can contain such terrifying magical power, and no wonder he can surpass the limits of the human body...!
After realizing this, the angels, who also possessed divine power, found it difficult to control the humiliation and anger that arose. His golden eyes swept across Su Xingyuan's body, and he sneered, "You are indeed cursed... Are you in such a hurry to attack me? Are you afraid that you won't have the strength to move after a while?"
"yes."
The black-haired human was not at all affected by the anger and ridicule of the god, and he admitted very calmly: "After all, I am just an ordinary human. Since I am a human, it is normal for me to be cursed by the devil. A human cursed by the devil - how can this not be considered an honor?"
He moved forward step by step.
"Of course, I came here for another purpose. I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time—"
The blade, which was brighter than the throne of God, was unsheathed with a clang. A huge amount of magic power suddenly spread and rose with the black-haired human as the center. The instantaneous change of magic power lifted the human's long black hair like a hurricane, revealing a pair of green eyes that were as bright as emeralds after the darkness, and almost instantly gathered a frightening fighting spirit and ambition.
"You said that the blood of angels can cleanse impurities?"
The long sword that seemed to be struck by lightning was even faster than the God of Wind. The sharp blade pointed directly at the angel's feather-covered neck in an instant. Before the tip of the blade arrived, the cold pain came with the wind!
The angel's pupils suddenly shrank, and his three pairs of wings flapped forward violently, pulling his body backward to create distance. Golden light instantly condensed into a three-meter-long bow in his hand, and the arrow was shot from the string, aiming at the human's heart!
The black-haired human who was good at close combat decisively withdrew his attack after missing the target. The protective shield was placed at the front of the backpack. He could take it out directly without thinking, and blocked it in front of him like flowing water, taking the golden arrow that contained great divine power!
“Crack.”
The crisp cracking sound was clearly heard by the black-haired human.
"Oh?" He blinked. In such a battle, he still had the leisure to put the shield in front of his eyes and sighed with regret: "Sure enough, there is a durability setting. It is indeed difficult to hold on for too long without divine power and relying only on the main body, but..."
The dark-haired human smiled.
"That's about enough."
The anger hidden in the angel's eyes grew even stronger. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his divine power quickly condensed into arrows again, shooting directly at the black-haired human's body!
In just a short moment, He released eighteen arrows.
In battle, this kind of rapid shooting often comes at the cost of giving up some of the hit rate, but every arrow he shot was on Su Xingyuan's path of movement, almost blocking his next move and forcing him to use his protective shield to take it!
In this situation, there was almost no time to think. All he had to rely on was combat experience, talent and instinct. In an instant, the routes of more than a dozen arrows were all engraved in Su Xingyuan's mind. Even the time relationship before and after, which was almost impossible to notice, was clearly visible in his brain.
If the angel had carefully observed him at this moment, he would have discovered how those green eyes, which were always considered to be cat-like, clearly captured the trajectory of each arrow, just like a feline when hunting.
No matter how tricky or densely packed the eighteen arrows are, it is impossible for them to arrive at the same time. As long as there is a time difference, there will be room for maneuver!
The first arrow flew straight towards his eyes. With his extreme concentration of mind, it seemed as if a prompt sound was rang. The black-haired boy made a "ding" sound for his own amusement. Just at that moment, he moved half a step to the right rear with extreme precision, as if he was a machine controlled by an extremely rational person.
“Swish!”
The arrow filled with terrifying divine power instantly passed through his hair and went straight into the endless space behind him!
[Congratulations on achieving a perfect dodge! 】
[Within ten seconds, your agility will increase by 20%! 】
The angel god's movements paused slightly uncontrollably.
It was not because Su Xingyuan dodged his first arrow, but because he finally saw through the layers of interference and saw the flames leaping in the black-haired human's eyes, the kind of brightness that instantly gathered as if locking onto its prey!
A bad premonition instantly spread over his body, and his hand, which was about to shoot the arrow, trembled slightly uncontrollably. The arrow that was supposed to pierce the human heart deviated from its trajectory and went in another direction.
The black-haired human noticed this scene keenly.
So, even when he was pointed at by several arrows and could lose his life if he was not careful, he raised his head and smiled at the angel.
Are those arrows deadly weapons?
No, it's an item that increases movement speed.
After perfectly dodging the first arrow and gaining a 20% speed bonus, the black-haired boy's already amazing speed became even faster; the tiny entry points between each arrow, which were difficult to capture, seemed to be flaws that he could spot at a glance!
[Congratulations on achieving a perfect dodge! 】
[Congratulations on achieving a perfect dodge! 】
【Congratulations on achieving...】
Since some time ago, the angel had almost forgotten everything else. He closely followed the increasingly elusive figure of the black-haired boy, continuously shooting arrows, even to the point of being a little frustrated. However, all these attacks became tools to make the opponent's speed faster and faster!
In just one breath, the black-haired human perfectly dodged the dense arrows and instantly got in front of Him with his sword!
When the battle started, he was able to dodge the black-haired human assassin's charge in time, but now he was shocked to find that although his consciousness had caught up with the speed of the black-haired boy, his body had no time to react. He could only watch the illusory pain become a reality, and the sacred golden blood instantly gushed out from the blade!
“Buzz——!”
At the moment when Su Xingyuan's long sword made the angel bleed, the protective mechanism in his body, which was almost the same as that of the black shadow, instantly erupted!
Su Xingyuan had anticipated this and retreated without hesitation, thus avoiding being cut into pieces by the angel's pair of steel-like wings that suddenly flew out of his body.
The angel gasped for air.
Unlike other gods, he seemed to regard his blood as extremely precious. His face, which had never changed much, even became a little distorted at this moment. He stretched out his hands to cover his neck, and looked at Su Xingyuan with hatred as if he wanted to pull out his tendons and bones.
Instead of feeling frightened by the enemy's behavior, Su Xingyuan developed a curiosity that was hard to dispel. He tilted his head slightly, raised his long sword, wiped the golden blood on the sword with his fingertips, then opened it with his fingertips and looked at it carefully.
“…Huh?”
After dodging two arrows shot madly by the angels, Su Xingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the purple spots on his wrist that were about to form lines. Suddenly, as if attracted by something, they slowly flowed towards the direction of the golden blood.
Then, the bright gold began to become turbid, and in the player's status bar, the debuff of [Plague] disappeared, and his condition returned to its peak.
The angel frantically urged the divine power to heal his wounds. He did not dare to relax at all when the curse of the first demon king's disaster had not completely disappeared. But when he raised his head, he saw a black-haired human not far away looking at the blood on his fingertips with a gradually unclear expression.
“…”
An indescribable, subtle, yet absolutely unignorable feeling of horror chilled through my entire body.
"It turns out that your confidence is your blood."
The black-haired boy said in a soft voice. He clenched his fingertips, then raised his head with a smile.
"I have put a lot of thought into keeping the disaster in the human world at the plague stage, but I didn't expect it to be purified by you here. Otherwise, how about you pay me with some blood?"
He once again grasped the long sword that had killed countless gods and monsters. The look in his eyes as he looked at his prey was no longer concealed. With the blue flames burning around his body, he lightly passed through the space and landed on the wound on the angel's neck that had just healed.
He said considerately: "Don't worry, I just need to be able to deal with the number of curses."
[Skill: Starry Sky]
In the last second before the movement speed bonus brought by the last perfect dodge expired, the long sword, which was attached with magic and hellfire at the same time, instantly stabbed into the angel's shoulder!
The angel immediately picked up his longbow to block, and strong divine power gathered on his four pairs of wings, and at the same time surrounded the black-haired boy who had come in front of him!
But just as the tip of the knife was about to follow its trajectory and land on his longbow, the black-haired boy suddenly turned his wrist, and in the blink of an eye his offensive force had completely changed. The first knife in the combo no longer stabbed at the god, but used the sharp side to directly chop at the wings that were closing in on him!
Obviously, the attack just now was just a fake move for the angels to see, relying on his terrifying speed and reaction ability!
In just a split second, eight swords came out at the same time. The arrows shot by the angel could be captured by Su Xingyuan with a slight time difference, but in the eyes of the angel, his combo seemed to be fired at the same time, and a tearing pain was instantly felt on his intact wings!
What’s even more terrifying is that the black-haired boy’s speed can obviously be even faster.
[Skill: Starry Sky]
[Description: Inject magic power into the weapon, maintain a combo, each attack will inherit the strength of the previous attack, increase attack speed and power, and reduce magic power consumption]
“——Shh.”
The ninth knife!
The wings, which were extremely important to the angel, were all severely damaged. The tip of the knife, which could have blocked the attack, sank directly into the flesh and blood, and penetrated the jade-white bones!
Just when the angel thought he would be hit by the next blow without any breathing space, the black-haired human actually stopped his continuous attacks. The angel knew this only because, according to his original speed, this short period of time was enough for him to swing his sword three more times.
...Is it intolerance or arrogance?
In such a situation, the angels simply had no energy left to think about these illusory things in the face of life and death. He knew very well that this human, Su Xingyuan, would never feel any compassion towards his enemies, and would never let any unnecessary arrogance interfere with his judgment in battle. Therefore, behind the subtle pause at the end of the combo might not be kindness and tolerance, but even more irresistible ruthlessness!
As expected, before he could gather his divine power to take advantage of Su Xingyuan's approach to severely injure him, he felt something cold entering his body along the blade that pierced his shoulder, bringing him a piercing pain in an instant.
He turned and looked.
…The thing that passed through His shoulder was a blue chain made of flames.
The temperature of this flame is controlled arbitrarily by its owner. When it no longer pursues heat but cold, the flame that was originally able to burn everything becomes ice that freezes everything. The chain passed through his wound without hesitation, and even froze his blood completely, but it did not hurt its owner at all. It was held in the palm of the black-haired human like a harmless dog chain.
"...Su, Xing, Yuan!!"
The angel finally let out an insane scream.
"The second stage?" Su Xingyuan dodged backwards skillfully, successfully avoiding the indiscriminate attack of the angel after he lost his mind. However, his hand was still firmly holding the cold chain condensed by flames. The end of the chain was rooted in the angel's shoulder, as if it had grown out of His flesh and blood.
"You all seem to like calling me by my full name. That's not a good habit."
While saying these words which were even slightly intimate and joking, the black-haired boy became more and more ruthless. In order to minimize the waste of blood, each of his attacks was switched to a forward stabbing method. Every time a new gap was opened in the angel's body, there would be chains waiting to penetrate and freeze it.
The platinum-colored angel was like a trapped beast in the blue chains.
But in Su Xingyuan's eyes, "He" was more like a disobedient cow in the hands of a cattle farmer, kicking its hooves hard, and it seemed to have great strength but did not move a single step. It only took a strong pull -
“Boom!”
The gate of the shrine slowly opened above the human world.
Just like a pair of partners with telepathic connection, the world consciousness simultaneously released its obstruction on the gods. The gods, who were pierced by chains but did not shed a drop of blood, were directly pulled out of the temple by the black-haired human and fell on the platform outside the door!
