"He has left?"
Somewhere in the western part of the city, the Observer, who had his feet melted into the ground, suddenly spoke.
"Who do you mean has left?" Bloodthirsty asked. "Is it the Anomaly?"
"No …" The Repentant's voice echoed in his mind. "He is talking about the leader of the demons."
"Oh? What's going on? " Confusion appeared on the Bloodthirsty Demon's terrifying face. He continued, "As far as I know … as long as the leader of the demons personally led an expedition, there has never been a situation where he returned empty-handed." He paused, and his expression shifted. "Not long ago, I saw him at close range with my own eyes … I don't think he will lose to anyone …"
"Watch your words, Bloodthirsty." Snatcher's large skull (or body?) turned to look at Bloodthirsty. Turning around, it used its empty eyes to stare at the other party and said, "Don't forget the mission our king gave us … and … your identity."
The Repentant continued, "As one of the Nine Leaders of the Dead Souls, you should not be afraid of any existence other than our king." She turned her face slightly and looked at Bloodthirsty Demon. "This … you should learn from your brother …"
Bloodthirsty's brother was the Banished Demon that looked like a mushy flower with compound eyes and a gaping mouth. In terms of personality, the elder brother was a greedy, cunning, bully the weak, and cower in fear of the strong. The younger brother, the Banished Demon, was much more innocent than his elder brother. Like most of the bosses in Thriller Paradise, he was not intelligent, ferocious, fearless, and would not give up until he was dead.
"Humph … It is not up to you to lecture me," Bloodthirsty replied unhappily. It raised its third right arm and flashed its claws. "It's still too early for you to preach to me …"
Hu!
A shadow flashed past the Bloodthirsty Demon, interrupting its words.
"Shut up, all of you." War Spirit opened the dragon wing on his left back and stopped the argument between his two comrades. "You will distract the Observer."
"Tsk …" Hearing this, the Bloodthirsty Demon bitterly shrugged its three pairs of shoulders and slithered to the side.
At this moment, the five leaders of the Nine Leaders of the Undead Spirits, Spirit Seizer, Battle Spirit, Bloodthirsty Demon, Penitent, and Observer, had gathered together again. Their plan to purge the city had to be canceled because there was nothing left to purge.
After the leader of the demons descended, it forcefully gathered the dark energy in the entire space. In his battle with Lu Te, he had used up 90% of this power. This led to the death of the mutated monsters in the city.
The only living beings left in the city, other than the players and Anomalies, were the Nine Chieftains of the Undead. Under such circumstances, acting alone was obviously disadvantageous. Therefore, the Observer was currently using her ability to investigate the situation in the city, trying to find and summon back the remaining Four Chiefs.
Of course, as an AI of the same level, the judges and jurors also formulated a similar strategy. However, the losses on their side were already very heavy, especially the Shi Guan. At least four of them had been killed …
…
On the other hand, after the initial chaos and the ambush by the hundred Anomalies from Origin … the number of players had decreased by more than half. Of the remaining survivors, there were many who were injured, had used their ultimate skills, and were half-dead. There were not many who were close to full health.
Thankfully … the survivors gradually found out about the changes that were happening in the city.
With the combined effort of Phantom Dawn, Shiva, Zombie Blade Victor, and Uncle Worthless, the survivors started to regroup and regroup. The few players who were not found by them had escaped from their predicament with the help of the Anomalies from Organization Z and found out about the scenario.
The counterattack against Origin … had begun.
But … if one analyzed the current situation from God's perspective, the difference in power between the players and the Anomalies was still quite big.
From the battle with Not a Scaredy Cat, one could see that even a strong player like her could only deal with two level three Anomalies at the same time. If this was a player at Hong Hu's level, he would probably only be able to deal with one. In a one versus two situation, he would be defeated quickly.
At this moment, the meaning of the combat ability ranking was revealed. Against the Anomalies, there was no such thing as mastery or equipment suppression. At the end of the day … those with a higher ranking were more effective than those with a lower ranking.
But … there were exceptions, like players like Shiva, Uncle Worthless, and Are A Name Too Hard to Choose. As long as the situation allowed it, they could kill level three Anomalies instantly.
Overall, if the two strongest combatants, Lute and J1-Fast Duo, were not taken into consideration, then … there was indeed a fight between the two sides.
…
"I really did not expect this day to come," Lying Drunk said with disappointment. "I have joined forces with the people from Zombie Blade …" He walked with a leisurely gait.
The ones leading the way were Sashimi and Zombie Blade Victor.
Zombie Blade Victor turned his head to glance at the man. "If not for the fact that I have no choice, I would not have cooperated with you people from Regulation."
"Ha … Fine." In Lying Drunk's tone, there was undeniably a trace of condescension.
Zombie Blade Victor did not say anything because he was already used to this kind of treatment. Other than some small gaming studios, most of the players from the first and second-tier gaming studios viewed the people from Zombie Blade Victor with hostility and condescension.
The world was actually very fair. Perhaps some people or organizations could use underhanded methods to obtain success. But in the end, when they gained something, they also lost something.
"We are already very close." After walking for a while, Zombie Blade Victor stopped. He lowered his voice and said, "Let's find a place nearby to hide. When the other players arrive, we will meet up with them."
"That space gap is still quite far away, right? Isn't it too early to stop here?" Sashimi asked as he looked at the explosion tunnel in the sky.
"It is best if we do not take the risk," Zombie Blade Victor said. "When I found you, the four Anomalies that you were dealing with were just small fries. The truly powerful ones …"
Ding!
A cold light flashed, and a crisp sound rang out.
Zombie Blade Victor did not finish his sentence because he had already sensed the sudden attack, so he quickly turned around to evade.
A triangular metal blade sliced through the air and headed straight for Zombie Blade Victor's back.
In the blink of an eye! Just as Zombie Blade Victor was about to turn around, Lying Drunk had already flashed behind him and used two of his fingers to catch the metal blade that was flying at him. The 'ding' was the sound of the blade coming into contact with his fingers.
Upon closer inspection, Lying Drunk's hands had turned into a pair of iron hands, and the surface of his skin was glowing with a dark glow.
"There is no need to thank me." Lying Drunk waved his hand and tossed the metal blade to the ground.
"Tsk … We did not need your help in the first place," Zombie Blade Victor, who had already flashed to the side, replied.
As they spoke, seven or eight Anomalies walked out from the dark alleys and corners around them and entered their sight.
"Looks like my detection power is useless against them," Sashimi added. "These people do not even have a heartbeat or pulse. As long as they stand still behind some kind of cover, I will not be able to 'hear' them …"
"That kind of thing is fine," Zombie Blade Victor said. "In this kind of situation … there is no need for any detection power, right?"
