In less than ten seconds, the beam caught up to Shiva, and his whole body was frozen in ice. The ice was medium-sized, and it was like a coffin. It covered Shiva from head to toe.
But that did not mean that Feng Bujue had won.
The seven stone plates of the Heavenly Hourglass split into two. Three stayed by Feng Bujue's side while the other four flew back to Shiva.
The nine beams from the three stone plates shot out from the same angle, and they all hit the barrel of the Freeze Ray Gun. The barrel of the gun was knocked away by the force, and it forced Feng Bujue to stop firing.
The twelve beams of light from the other four stone plates shot out precisely at the ice that bound Shiva's limbs, shattering part of the ice.
For Shiva, as long as he could move his limbs again, it was not hard to escape. He shattered the ice around him in a few moves and escaped from the area, flashing into a small alley.
"You are very similar to me, Feng Bujue," Shiva said from behind the corner. Shiva, who was hiding behind the corner of the wall, said, "You can see through your opponent's skill with one glance and immediately understand what kind of fighting style will allow you to win."
"The player who is ranked second on the combat stat ranking has said something like that to me. Is that a compliment?" Feng Bujue replied as he moved forward, but since he was wearing the armor, he moved very slowly, and each step was loud.
"To be complimented by someone like me, other than being happy, you should be afraid." As Shiva spoke, the seven stone plates flew into the corner where he was hiding and temporarily escaped from Feng Bujue's sight.
"Afraid? Ha … Why? "Feng Bujue laughed.
"Is it that hard to understand?" Shiva said. "Then I will make it clearer." He paused for a moment. "Having the talent to stand shoulder to shoulder with top-notch experts isn't necessarily a good thing, because …" With a flash, he rushed out of the corner, a large hourglass floating beside him. "On the same tyrannical path, there's no need for two Tyrants."
At this moment, a blue light appeared on the hourglass, and an overwhelming force gushed out.
Seeing this, Feng Bujue knew that this was definitely one of the opponent's killing moves, and he could not be careless. However, he was currently wearing heavy armor, which made it difficult for him to move. Coupled with the fact that both of his hands were holding guns, he couldn't use Death Poker to defend himself.
Thus, he decided to take it head-on …
At least in terms of physical defense, the cold-blooded armor's defense was undoubtedly higher than [Shield]. As long as the opponent didn't use any non-physical attacks, Feng Bujue was seventy to eighty percent sure that he could withstand it.
But Shiva's attacks were mental attacks.
He had already seen the defensive power of the cold-blooded armor and was also wary of the bombs on Feng Bujue's body. Under these two reasons, it was obviously unwise to use force to attack.
Therefore, he used the "Water" special effect of [Heavenly Hourglass], [Cleansing]. It ignored physical defense and launched a wave of mental erosion on an enemy, adding a "Cleansing" status to the target for 30 seconds. Based on the target's Terror Points, a certain percentage of Life Points would be drained every second, no lower than one percent. After using it, the Stone Plate of Water would shatter, and it would only recover after returning to the log-in lobby.
From the player's perspective, even though Shiva could not tell the authenticity of the bombs, he was certain that the bomb would explode if one lost consciousness was a lie.
When the player lost consciousness, it meant that they would dissolve into white light, and the items (bombs) on them would follow them out of the scenario. If the bombs could not be taken out of the scenario, as a consumable item that had nothing to do with the plot, they would stop working and return to their 'untouched' state. They would be picked up by other players, and they would not explode.
This setting was to prevent players who knew that they were about to die from setting traps before leaving the scenario to affect the later development of the scenario.
Shiva, who was familiar with the rules, knew these details like the back of his hand. That was why he used the ultimate that he had planned to save for Seven Kills on Feng Bujue.
If this mental attack succeeded in killing his opponent, which Shiva believed had a high chance of success, he would not only get Mr. Freeze's armor and gun, he might even get the powerful fuel-air explosive. Then, the use of [Cleansing] would be worth it.
"That is quite a good skill," Feng Bujue said in a strange tone.
At that moment, Brother Jue's eyes were filled with shadows and strange sights. His ears were filled with ghostly wails and strange noises that would make one's hair stand on end.
The effect of [Cleansing] looked similar to the scarecrow's poison gas, but they were actually two different approaches. The scarecrow evoked the human's inner fear, while [Cleansing] was the most direct 'fear', a physical stimulus that came from the outside.
For example, when people heard the sound of nails scratching on glass, they would have goosebumps. That was because the frequency of the sound was high, and it would stimulate the eardrum, causing the brain to react accordingly.
In a neural connected game, even the stimulation that was beyond the normal five senses could be simulated by the system.
When a normal person was hit by this skill, no matter how calm and rational they were, due to the physiological reaction, their Terror Points would rise. Under the influence of [Cleansing], most people would be unable to resist it. If one's Terror Points stayed at fifty percent for ten seconds, their Life Points would be depleted, much less thirty seconds.
Looking at Feng Bujue, who stood where he was, Shiva scoffed and said confidently, "Humph … It's over." He could not wait to open the game menu and wait for his opponent's status to turn to 'dead'.
In the end, he waited for thirty seconds …
Half a minute later, Feng Bujue stood there perfectly fine and said, "That's it?"
"Hey … Hey, hey, hey!" The curses in Shiva's heart started to fly in the opposite direction again. "You didn't die? How is that possible? Those who are hit by this skill won't die even if they drink a health potion … "
"Hmm … And I thought this skill would be so powerful. It only dropped thirty percent of my Life Points, and it took thirty seconds. Ha!" Feng Bujue commented with condescension. "The effect on the senses is not bad, but I'm wearing armor, and you didn't ambush me. In the end, it's still useless."
Hearing that, Shiva's own Terror Points rose again. He thought, Is this some kind of joke? There hasn't been anyone who survived from [Cleansing] before! You only lost thirty percent of your Life Points? Isn't that the theoretical minimum? Is your Terror Points always zero? Are you really human?
"I'm so sorry. From the start of the scenario until now, I've underestimated you … I didn't expect someone like you to exist in this world …" Shiva's eyes changed, and there was a seriousness that he had never seen before. "Feng Bujue, facing an opponent of your level, I should use a different attitude."
"Oh? What is it … "Before Feng Bujue finished, his expression shifted, and his pupils dilated.
Because at that moment, Shiva morphed into a shadow and charged at Feng Bujue with explosive speed. There was murderous intent on his face. "An attitude that says I will die together with you."
