Before Zhang Heng could finish his sentence, the doctor, Kratos, and the others received a system notification.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the first stage of the main mission: Find the key character. Game points + 100. You may view the character panel for relevant information …]
[Since the first stage of the main mission has been completed, the second stage of the main mission has automatically begun. Please confirm.]
[Main mission updated …]
[Main mission updated. Now changed to kill Loki.]
[Will return after the main mission is completed …]
Kratos almost cursed out loud when he heard the new system notification. How could this be?! They had already completed the main mission and could leave the dungeon, but he did not expect the system to go back on its word and change the main mission halfway, forcing all the players to stay in the dungeon.
And the content of the second stage of the main mission was ridiculous. What did it mean by killing Loki? If Loki was so easy to kill, the Norse gods wouldn't have been helpless against him for such a long time. All they could do was watch him jump up and down, causing trouble all over the world.
In Norse mythology, Loki's combat power was not the strongest, but he was definitely the most difficult to kill.
The corner of Loki's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes swept across the audience, taking in the expressions on the players' faces at the moment. It was as if he was enjoying a play.
But the next moment, the smile on his face froze.
[Warning!!! Warning!!! An unknown external force has been detected to interfere with the game. The main mission difficulty is abnormal. It has been reported, and emergency response mechanism has been activated.]
[Emergency response mechanism is activated …]
[The main mission has been modified and corrected. The main mission remains unchanged. The new mission restrictions are as follows: Loki is not allowed to leave Pripyaji during the mission period. Killing Loki's five incarnations can weaken Loki's power. Loki is not allowed to attack players for 12 hours. Loki can choose a building in the city as a stronghold. After 12 hours, Loki will stay in the stronghold and cannot move.]
"Tsk tsk tsk … Are you really going to treat me as a boss?"
Loki's face flashed with a playful look. "Well, it's rare to have a chance to exercise my muscles. I will play this round with you guys."
After that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Heng on the side. He was about to say something to Zhang Heng before he left, but he did not expect Zhang Heng to not give him a chance at all. The next moment, the Shrouded Scabbard slashed at him again. Loki snorted, and regardless of his posture, he quickly rolled on the ground to avoid Zhang Heng's slash. The arrogance that he had worked so hard to build up was gone.
On the other hand, Zhang Heng did not give up the chase. Instead, he stuck to Loki like a maggot. The Shrouded Sheath kept colliding with the concrete floor, making a clanging sound. Loki could not get up at all. All he could do was roll down like a ball.
"This is too much!" Loki was so frustrated that he almost got stabbed several times. Although Zhang Heng did not know how he managed to stop the bleeding, it was obvious that he was still afraid of the Shrouded Sheath in Zhang Heng's hand. Obviously, he did not want to add another wound to his body. All he could do was keep yelling, "You will regret it if you don't put away your sword now!"
Zhang Heng ignored Loki's threat. After hearing the mission restrictions, he realized that this was an opportunity. In addition to weakening Loki's power by killing the avatar, Zhang Heng also noticed the rule that Loki was not allowed to attack for 12 hours.
The original intention of this rule was to give players time to kill the avatar. But now, Zhang Heng had used it to bypass the link of killing the avatar. From the looks of it, he wanted to kill Loki, who could not fight back, in one fell swoop.
And Zhang Heng shouted while slashing at the avatar, "What are you waiting for? Do it!"
Only then did the players on the side wake up. Doctor Liang Mang raised the TT-33 in his hand, aimed at Loki on the ground, and pulled the trigger. The latter was suppressed by Shrouded Sheath at the moment. He had no other choice but to choose the lesser of two evils. He used his lower abdomen to take the bullet.
Seeing that Kratos and Mouse were about to rush over to join the battle, Loki had no choice but to make up his mind. He gritted his teeth, stretched out his left hand, and grabbed Zhang Heng's Shrouded Sheath.
As expected, four of his fingers were directly cut off by Zhang Heng. But at the cost of this, Loki finally bought himself some precious time. He stretched out his other hand and snapped his fingers.
When the Shrouded Sheath fell again, Loki had already disappeared from where he stood.
Zhang Heng pulled out the blade that was embedded in the wall, and when he heard footsteps coming from above, he ran all the way up to the roof.
Restricted by the new rules, Loki could not attack the players yet, so Zhang Heng did not have to worry that this was a trap. He ran straight to the roof and saw Loki standing on the edge of the rooftop.
Loki did not seem to realize that he had been forced into a desperate situation. He stopped, and his face was gloomy as if he had something to say to Zhang Heng.
As a result, Zhang Heng, who had caught up, took the Pestilence Bone Bow from his back and nocked the Paris Arrow. This time, however, Loki learned his lesson. Before Zhang Heng could shoot the Paris Arrow, he had already snapped his fingers and disappeared again.
And this time, he had completely disappeared. Zhang Heng looked around again, but he did not see any trace of Loki.
Zhang Heng was not disappointed. He knew that the God of Lies and Tricks would not be killed so easily, and the battle just now was not meaningless. Even if he could not kill Loki on the spot, the Shrouded Sheath's unique bleeding and damage bonus to mythical creatures would definitely be enough to make him suffer.
And if he could kill all five of his avatars, he could further weaken Loki, and the players' chances of winning the final battle would be further improved.
Zhang Heng put the Pestilence Bone Bow back on his back and was about to walk downstairs when he saw a militia's military truck coming from the street in the distance.
"What's going on?" At this time, Kratos also came to the rooftop. He was in the second best condition among the players, so he followed Zhang Heng up. Unfortunately, the battle was over before it even started. At this time, Kratos also noticed the two trucks.
Zhang Heng seemed to have thought of something, but he did not say anything. He just turned around and ran downstairs again, bumping into Doctor and Mouse on the way. As a result, the two saw Zhang Heng rushing to the third floor, where Shelbina was.
Zhang Heng slammed the door open and saw the vice chairman lying in a pool of blood in the living room. The latter was no longer breathing, and even his body was cold. It seemed that he had been dead for at least a day. After that, Zhang Heng also noticed the flies surrounding Shelbina's body.
"Close the door!" Zhang Heng said to Kratos and the others who came after him.
