Before the Mirror Demon's voice faded, the demonic aura that filled the sky had completely condensed into real demons and ghosts.
There were at least three hundred of them, and they were all mythical creatures from eastern legends.
"Phantom Dawn, how strong are these monsters?" Understanding Death turned to Phantom Dawn and asked a crucial question.
The answer to that question would decide their strategy.
"We can't win …" Phantom Dawn was silent for two seconds before answering. "… we can't escape."
Although this response was very short, the amount of information it revealed was enough.
"Is that so …" Understanding Death hesitated for a moment. Then, his expression changed. "Heh …" He actually revealed a smile. "Alright, I give up."
"Huh?" Lying Drunk did not get what he meant. He turned to ask, "What do you mean?"
"Do you wish to die on the ground?" Sashimi's face was also filled with confusion.
"Ha ha …" Only Meng Jingchan understood what Understanding Death meant. He chuckled. "He is not giving up, he is …"
"I am giving up on the competition." The next second, Understanding Death picked up where Brother Zen left off. He used a tone that sounded like he had given up on himself. "Captain's duty, S2 champion, year-end bonus … F * ck!" As he spoke, he started to curse.
"Hey … what's going on?" Asura was not familiar with Understanding Death. In their limited interaction, he had a feeling that the man was a calm and reliable person. Who would have thought that Understanding Death would suddenly take such a drastic change?
"I have to think twice before I do anything. No matter what decision I make, I have to think about the big picture. This is so tiring …" Understanding Death continued. "The burden of being the captain is on my shoulders, and it has changed me."
"If by 'yourself' you mean that old chuunibyou, then I don't think that is a bad thing." Sashimi, who understood his teammate's intention, took the opportunity to mock him.
Understanding Death ignored him and continued to speak in an annoyed tone, "Let's not talk about how the match is going. There are only two paths in front of us. Either we die here, or we fight to the death with Mirror Fiend. The former … we will lose immediately, and the latter … we will lose later. " As he spoke, he began to shake the spray can in his hand. "Since I'm going to die no matter what, I'd rather choose a more straightforward way than being overcautious and dying in a half-assed way."
"Humph …" Lying Drunk heard that and smiled. "I really don't know what to do with you. If you had said that earlier, you would have let me be the captain."
"Stop trying to be wise in hindsight." Sashimi could not help but mock him. "Hindsight is my specialty."
"Burp …" Zen Dream added. "Since things have come to this, hehe … let's do this to our heart's content."
At this point, the morale of the four of them was boosted.
At this moment, Understanding Death wasn't the only one who had shed the burden of being the 'captain'. The entire [Order] team had also shed the burden of the 'competition'.
"Oh?" Seeing this, Mirror Demon's tone changed slightly. "Your aura … has changed …" In these ten seconds, the demonic aura on its mirror was still spreading, and it was still releasing demons. "You can say that you are burning your bridges, but you can still maintain this fighting spirit in such a desperate situation … You are indeed somewhat heroic." It paused and laughed weirdly. "Humph! Then, I shall grant you your wish!"
With that, Mirror Demon moved its mind, and the demons in the sky moved as well.
Taotie, Qiongqi, Tao Wu, Hundun, Tao Wu, Feiyi, Chong Diao, Hook Snake, Zombie Soldier, Red Dragon, Gou Chang, Noderafang, You Akiko, Flying Barbarian …
As far as the eye could see, the demons and ghosts were swarming over like a swarm of bees.
Among them … the strong ones were the Four Beasts, and the weak ones were intimidating.
Phantom Dawn was right when he said, 'If you can't win, you can't run'.
"Come at me then! Who's afraid of you! The small monsters won't be able to reflect damage, right? " Lying Drunk finally let go of his fear. He leaped into the air and launched a flurry of lightning-fast punches at the enemy's vanguard.
In an instant, the golden flowing light formed a fine net of fists in the air, creating a foul wind and a rain of blood.
"I shall not hold back …" Sashimi had been holding back for a long time. He picked up his special weapon, Throatbreaker, which was a loudspeaker, and used the skill, 'When the enemy has less than 14 Life Points, they will become restless and roar' at the swarm of monsters.
The materialized sound wave blasted out, and it created a sound wave attack in a large cone-shaped area. The power was so strong that it could shatter the air.
However …
After the two waves of attack, they only managed to kill about ten monsters. Even though the remaining ones were injured, they did not slow down.
"So, that's how it is … They are indeed powerful …" Meng Jingchan observed for a few seconds before dropping the wine in his hand, spitting out the cigarette in his mouth, and … for once, he gripped the sword with both hands. "I wonder if I can hold them off …"
In the blink of an eye! Before Brother Zen finished, he had already leaped into the air and started to wield his sword. His sword moved as if it was light, and it was majestic. The aura of the sword could be more than one hundred meters long, and the power of the blade could cut through metal and stone.
While he swung his sword, Meng Jingchan was chanting.
"I wish to drink alone in the grave,
Drink half a pot of wine before the grave.
Silver frost hangs in the grave,
The soul under my sword disappears … Burp! "
Meng Jingchan was chanting a crooked poem as he displayed his extraordinary swordsmanship. When he finished reciting the crooked poem, "I am the Drunken Silver Sword," he had already swung his sword dozens of times, and each strike had the power and range to cut through a Gundam.
After this round of attack, the results were quite remarkable. About fifty monsters were cut down by the aura of the sword and fell into the abyss. Of course, this was not all due to Brother Zen. The previous two AOE attacks by Lying Drunk and Sashimi had already taken out a lot of the monsters' HP. Brother Zen's attack was equivalent to finishing off the monsters.
"Be careful! The second wave is coming! "
Brother Zen had just finished his attack, and before he could catch his breath, Lying Drunk and Sashimi shouted, reminding him that he had to be ready again.
This was because … the next wave of monsters had already arrived.
Right now, Lying Drunk and Sashimi was almost constantly releasing [Lightning Speed Fist]. Faced with so many powerful enemies, his single-target killer moves were useless. Instead, his AOE skills could cause more damage.
"Don't worry! There's still me! "Right then, Understanding Death, who had been shaking the spray can for a long time, was finally ready.
With a loud shout, he came forward and spun his body to kick out two seemingly ordinary roundhouse kicks.
The wind kicked up by the kicks carried the floating colors in the air. They sped up and enlarged in midair, dying all the monsters that were caught in the crossfire colors. Two seconds later, the monsters exploded like fireworks, scattering in all directions, and each piece of broken debris became a geometric figure in Tetris.
"So, this is the real power of Drunken Dream …" Asura looked at the performance of the four, and many thoughts appeared in his mind. "The value of something like a video is indeed limited. These guys are all monsters …" With that in mind, he could not help but move his gaze to Phantom Dawn. "Speaking of which … this' monster of monsters' has not made any move until now. What is going on?"
Indeed, with Phantom Dawn's personality, he would not have been so low-key.
The reason for his temporary silence was simple … he needed time to clear his mind and make a decision.
"Sigh …" After standing there silently for about a minute, Phantom Dawn suddenly closed his eyes and shook his head. He sighed. "Something about putting down the burden … something about going all out …" he mumbled softly. "Hah … This is why I say, adults are unreliable …"
At that moment, this sixteen-year-old boy's mind was clearer than anyone else's.
"Since the competition is hopeless, why fight?" Phantom Dawn mumbled to himself. "To vent the pressure that has accumulated? To bask in the thrill of battle? To give it your all in that meaningless battle, to bleed until the last drop of blood … is that really that fun? "
To him, this was indeed a very unfamiliar feeling ….
Ever since he entered Thriller Paradise, he had not experienced the feeling of 'fighting with his life on the line'. When he ran into Lute in the finals of S1, he had the chance, but … the opponent purposely targeted and limited him so that he could not unleash his full potential.
Later, he became stronger and stronger. Be it inside or outside the team, he could not find an opponent who could match him. Even Shiva, who was' the person closest to him ', from Phantom Dawn's perspective … was getting further and further away from him.
Today, even a demigod like Dianli King could not compete with Phantom Dawn under the premise of 'setting up a trap'.
If Wang Tanzhi was a man who could use various powers to assassinate a god, then Phantom Dawn was a man who could fight a god head-on … or rather, a young man.
How could someone like him understand the feeling of pushing oneself to the limit before defeating an opponent?
But that day, his chance had arrived.
Just as Feng Bujue had said … the Six Fold Mirror Demon was a 'new god'. To put it bluntly, it was a world boss that fit the difficulty of the next version. Its setting … was not something that the players of this version could deal with.
And Phantom Dawn was a character that was beyond the level limit and version limit.
One of the reasons Feng Bujue had called for the Battle of the Mirror World was to see … who would win.
"If that's really the case …" Phantom Dawn took a deep breath. "Then I should also abandon the 'restriction' … and give it a try."
The moment he made the decision, his energy exploded!
An energy that was as vast as a black hole appeared. Its presence expanded instantly, and it was bigger than the space itself.
"What … is that?" Asura looked at the red-haired young man who was about his age with shock. He was like a mortal looking at a god.
This glance made him feel an indescribable sense of despair. He suddenly felt that this so-called "secret weapon" of his was really overestimating his own capabilities. All of his self-confidence came from ignorance — he didn't know what he was going to face.
Several seconds later, Phantom Dawn looked down at the Mirror Demon and called out his opponent's name. "Six Fold Mirror Demon."
"You …" There was a trace of fear in the Mirror Demon's voice. "… What do you want?"
"I want to apologize to you," Phantom Dawn replied.
The Mirror Demon did not answer. He silently ordered all the demons that had materialized to change their target to Phantom Dawn.
"First, I want to apologize for not giving it my all earlier." Facing the monster army, Phantom Dawn was calm and collected. "Until two minutes ago, I was still considering the fact that I should conserve some of my power for the competition after killing you." He shook his head. "That thought is too naïve … You are not something that can be taken down with that kind of determination."
Before he finished, the demon army arrived.
At the same second, four strange figures appeared out of thin air to protect Phantom Dawn.
They were his double, Nightwalker, and his three psychic beasts — Mask, Undertaker, and Water Demon.
The four beasts cooperated seamlessly, each with their own unique abilities. Using their bodies and abilities … they resisted the onslaught of the demons with all their might.
Of course, the demons released by the Mirror Demon were not to be underestimated. Some of them were as strong as the demons summoned by Phantom Dawn. The four beasts could hold them off for a while, but they would not be able to hold on for long.
"Secondly, I want to apologize for what I'm about to do." But Phantom Dawn continued, and he spoke at a steady pace. He was neither arrogant nor humble. "After all … you only have one life, and I can start over."
"Ridiculous!" Hearing that, the Mirror Demon was shocked and angry. "Do you think … with the determination to die together with me, you have the ability to do that?"
Before he finished, the Mirror Demon fired out a beam of demonic energy from the mirror. It pierced through the crowd of demons and aimed at Phantom Dawn's heart.
To his surprise, Phantom Dawn's body suddenly blurred and morphed into a shadow.
"A sudden attack means that you are afraid." When Phantom Dawn spoke again, he had already appeared behind the Mirror Demon.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" The Mirror Demon's voice cracked.
"My speed is faster than yours, so it's impossible for you to ambush me. Furthermore … your attack is not that strong. Even if I'm hit, I won't be killed in one hit." Phantom Dawn did not answer the man but continued to speak. "Therefore, I advise you to give up on the plan of attacking first and prepare for the attack."
"Ke … ke ke … ke …" The Mirror Demon screamed like he was having an asthma attack due to his agitation. "Damn it!"
"Oh, by the way …" At the last moment, Phantom Dawn seemed to be reminded of something. He turned to look at his four teammates and said with a smile, "Curly Noodle Guy, Bowl Cut Guy, I have to apologize to all of you as well. With regards to the reason … you will find out soon enough."
"Hey! There are outsiders here! "
"Has my nickname been exposed?"
"I might look like this now, but I used to be known as …"
"Little b * stard! If you want to be known as Aruba, just say so! "
The four spoke at the same time, responding to Phantom Dawn with sarcasm.
Phantom Dawn chose to ignore them as well.
After a breath, his smile turned into a ferocious grin. His murderous aura reached its peak in a flash, and all of it was directed at … the Mirror Demon in front of him.
Crack!
The surface of the Hexagon Mirror started to crack when it reflected the pure murderous aura.
"Don't tell me you …" The Mirror Demon's voice was trembling. "You want to …"
"Take a good look!" Phantom Dawn interrupted the man roughly. His arrogance had returned.
"Use that one life of yours …" That domineering and self-confidence of his had returned.
"Wait … Wait …" The Mirror Demon seemed to have sensed something. That was the survival instinct of a higher being, but … no matter what it said or did, it was too late.
"Come and witness …" Phantom Dawn did not plan to listen to the man. "… what it means to be the strongest!"
It was the strongest declaration and the strongest attack.
The flame that could swallow the sky, the power that could shake the earth.
When Phantom Dawn poured all his power into the Left Hand of Judgement, the whole Mirror World shattered like a fragile mirror.
