Hiss —
Irin moved forward at full speed.
Suddenly, he slammed on the brakes not far from Gu Tianqing.
Demon King: "???"
Gu Tianqing: "…"
Irin held the broadsword in his hand and stared at the changes on Gu Tianqing's body.
Although Gu Tianqing was silent, there was still a faint smile on her face. But it was obvious that this expression was just Gu Tianqing's habitual pretense.
After the trident was broken, the skin on Gu Tianqing's face was disintegrating and peeling off at a speed visible to the naked eye. Behind the peeling off skin, drops of stinky blood were oozing out as if they were free.
Irin had already figured out Gu Tianqing's current situation. He chuckled and said, "What? You're not coming together? "
Hearing this, Gu Tianqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. But her hand that was clutching her chest tightened. She said, "If you're like this … it's hard for us to be friends happily."
"Okay, I'll go by myself."
"Please … be quick."
Irin replied with a smile, "This, it's hard to say. The opponent is so big, so tall, so strong …"
Gu Tianqing suddenly took a small breath. It was not known if it was the aftereffects of the removal of the curse, or if she had made up her mind.
Suddenly, Gu Tianqing pulled out a card from the storage space.
It was not an item card, but one of the tarot cards in the set.
Gu Tianqing looked at Irin's eyes with a calm expression. "This is my sincerity."
Irin's eyes narrowed even more. "That depends on how sincere you are."
Gu Tianqing was speechless.
But there was not much time left. Gu Tianqing did not waste any more time. She shook her hand and the black card appeared in front of Irin in the blink of an eye.
At this moment.
Irin also saw the face of the card. On the tarot card, there was an image of a ferocious demon. Behind the demon, there seemed to be an abyss filled with endless darkness.
Irin hesitated for two seconds.
Gu Tianqing was afraid that Irin would drag her to death if he hesitated any longer. She reminded him softly, "I think you can see that my current state is not suitable … to use force. This is my sincerity. At this final juncture, I have no reason to harm you. "
"Who knows?"
Irin shook his head, but he still reached for the "Devil" tarot card.
Indeed, as long as one was not blind, one could tell that Gu Tianqing's current state was not optimistic.
At the same time, Irin also speculated that what happened to Gu Tianqing was similar to the sea monster Zhao Xingchen, but it was not as pitiful as Zhao Xingchen's.
The moment the trident shattered and Calypso disappeared, some people were happy while others were sad.
Irin's fingers quickly reached for the tarot cards.
In an instant, the tarot cards turned into streaks of black light that followed Irin's arm and intertwined endlessly.
[Acquired Buff: Devil Transformation]
[Buff Time Limit: 60 seconds]
With the buff on her body, Irin … No, to be precise, Elizabeth Ling's body swelled like a balloon. Especially her arms, which bulged with rock-hard muscles. The veins on her muscles were exposed, and her tuxedo was stretched taut by this sudden change, as if it would overflow at any time.
"This is —"
Irin was slightly shocked as he felt the skyrocketing strength attribute in his body. He did not expect Gu Tianqing's tarot cards to be able to reach this level.
A purely support-type?
Irin quickly analyzed the ability of Gu Tianqing's Spirit Weapon out of habit.
While receiving the buff, a violent emotion gradually spread from somewhere in his mind, as if it wanted to destroy everything in front of him.
However, this was not enough to affect Irin's rationality. It just made Irin feel a little excited.
Gu Tianqing urged, "You only have one minute. You have to be quick."
Yi Lin took a deep look at Gu Tianqing with a meaningful look.
He did not tell Gu Tianqing his guess. Or perhaps, Gu Tianqing had no choice but to use this tarot card on Irin. She also expected that Irin would be able to deduce some of the restrictions or abilities of her Spirit Weapon. She was also very helpless.
"Hahaha —"
There was not much time left.
Irin let out a long roar, and the Nightingale once again activated. Riding the Nightingale, Irin crossed the sea with a long sword in his hand and arrived in front of the Demon King.
The Demon King looked like an arrow at the end of its flight. Under all kinds of attacks, his body parts were scattered, and the breathing light in front of his chest was constantly flashing.
However, Irin did not dare to be careless. During this one minute of buff, Irin's strength attribute skyrocketed. Gu Tianqing's last move could prevent Irin from using his final trump card, "Bloodthirsty Disaster".
If it was not the last moment, Irin really did not want to use this kind of skill that could kill a thousand enemies but also injure eight hundred of his own.
The Demon King was like a brave warrior facing death. Facing Irin and the Nightingale, who were "like ants", he did not dodge. He directly used his remaining iron arm and fiercely swung it at Irin.
Irin's gaze froze.
It was indeed difficult to drive the motorcycle with one hand, but unfortunately, the Nightingale did not have an automatic driving mode. Irin could only do this.
Rumble —
The air wave exploded. Irin suddenly lifted the motorcycle. In that instant, the Nightingale seemed to have escaped from gravity. It turned 90 degrees and ran along the Demon King's legs.
Bang!
This palm covered the sky and the sun. It was like a meteorite falling, but it hit nothing. The Nightingale spat out waves of air. Under Irin's control, it nimbly circled around the Demon King's body, one circle after another.
This was what it meant to ignore the terrain.
Irin's heart was filled with emotions.
As long as it was a "terrain," whether it was a muddy road or a ceiling, he could drive it up. With the addition of the skill, Irin did not need to be skilled in driving to be able to drive the Nightingale freely in all kinds of terrain.
The Demon King seemed to be stunned for a moment when his palm hit nothing, but he quickly reacted.
"That ant" had crawled onto his body!
"Gugugu … Zizizi … Squeak squeak squeak —"
Meaningless noises that could not be translated came from the Demon King's body.
It sounded like anger, like crying, like helplessness, and also like loneliness.
Irin did not have the time to analyze the Demon King's emotions at this moment.
Under the drive of the main mission, it was either this monster would completely fall, or they would stay in this world and end up like the pitiful governor.
Killing … There was no reason!
It was all a mission.
The Demon King's body twitched crazily. The wounds on his body, as well as the joints, were all rubbing against each other.
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.
The Demon King was on the verge of madness. He slapped his body as if he wanted to slap the Nightingale that was crawling on his body.
However, Irin would definitely not give the Demon King the chance to scratch his itch. He followed the broken road and drove to the Demon King's back.
If you have the ability, scratch my back!
Stretch your hand to scratch my back!
As everyone knew, once the itch started, the back would be an eternal dead end.
The advantage of such a huge Boss was obvious. It was very lethal, but its disadvantage was equally obvious. Generally speaking, it would not be too agile. Relatively speaking.
Irin turned his hand and stabbed the giant blade into the Demon King's armor. With the powerful driving force of the Nightingale, he forcefully tore open hideous wounds on the armor!
"Not enough … Not enough …"
The Demon King howled.
Unfortunately, the strength of Irin's psychokinesis at this moment was not enough to support Irin's weight. Without the Nightingale, Irin would not be able to attack the Demon King's vital points. Other than being able to fix his feet on the sea, there was no other way.
While dodging the Demon King's scratches, Irin held the giant blade and drove the car to the Demon King's chest.
On the Demon King's chest, where the red breathing lamp flickered, it was actually shattered. The inside was filled with solidified mucus. The red breathing lamp came out from the mucus, as if there was something inside that was desperately struggling.
Mucus?
Sea monster?
Calypso?
Could it be that long before this wave of apostles arrived in this world, Calypso had already controlled the sea monster and made contact with the Demon King?
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Irin's mind.
Now, there were less than 30 seconds left before the "Demonification" state.
At this moment, Irin had no time to think about the inside story of the plot.
"Xiao Bai, change your shape slightly."
Bai Xiaoyi: "???"
Irin and Bai Xiaoyi's minds were connected. He immediately transmitted his thoughts to Bai Xiaoyi.
A few seconds later.
The two-meter-long giant blade in Irin's hand grew crazily again.
If it wasn't for Gu Tianqing's tarot card buff that increased his strength attribute, Irin wouldn't have dared to change Bai Xiaoyi's shape to this size.
The size of the blade wasn't better as long as it was bigger. If one didn't have enough strength to control this weapon, it would only have a shape.
Therefore, normally, Irin was more used to changing Nie Hongxiu's shape. It was more lethal against normal humanoid monsters.
Obviously, the Demon King that Irin and Ye Cha were riding did not belong to the category of "carbon-based life".
Although [Killing Technique] wasn't as simple as the skill description said, no matter how hard Irin concentrated, he couldn't find the "gap" on the Demon King's body.
Therefore —
Chi Chi Chi —
The giant blade changed again.
On the smooth blade, there were waves of squirming, and tiny blades were formed.
At this moment, Irin was no longer holding a two-meter-long giant blade … but a three-meter-long saw.
"25 seconds."
Irin smiled slightly.
The inspiration for this kind of fine-tuning came from one of Nightmare's skills.
[Saw Blade] had a 25% chance of triggering the "Armor Break" effect that lasted for 10 seconds. The armor break effect couldn't be stacked.
Next.
It was time for his hand speed to explode!
Swish Swish Swish Swish!
With his bare hands … uh, no, Irin used his actions to fully demonstrate what it meant to use a giant blade to tear apart a mech!
Blood Jasmine turned into a giant saw. With Irin's current strength attribute, he could barely swing the blade. Irin gritted his teeth. Nightmare under him used all his strength and desperately squeezed into the mucus on the Demon King's chest!
Kill Kill Kill!
Dig Dig Dig!
There was no reason, no hatred, only a pure mission!
Either you die … or I live!
Irin, with his gradually crazy killing intent, became one with the vehicle. Like an electric drill, he sank deep into the Demon King's chest.
"Pa Pa Pa … Zizi Zizi —"
The Demon King suddenly made a loud noise.
25 seconds later.
Finally.
In the depths of the mucus, at the end of the flickering red light, Irin stretched out his hand and dug out the red breathing lamp.
Ka.
[Received "Contaminated Fragment of the Tinder Source"!]
[Congratulations Apostle 1010 for successfully killing the "Demon King"!]
[Received Chaos Points + 2333!]
At the same time.
On the surface of the sea.
A lump of rotten flesh floated up.
On the rotten flesh, there were human facial features. However, the position of the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose was a little strange. It gave people the feeling that it was a jigsaw puzzle. The facial features were all messed up and randomly glued together.
"Gulu Gulu Gulu —"
From the mouth of that lump of rotten flesh, there were unknown syllables. No one knew what it was saying.
Zhao Xingchen didn't expect that when the curse disappeared, he would become such a miserable appearance.
However, this was not important!
He was still alive!
He was still alive!
No matter how miserable and broken this body was, it was still Nicholas Zhao's body. What did it have to do with Zhao Xingchen?
As long as he could live!
Live!
Just when Zhao Xingchen thought that he was going to carry the heavy mission of the protagonist template and was destined to survive in this desperate situation, a black-haired figure silently appeared in front of Zhao Xingchen.
Zhao Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes wide.
That single eye was instantly filled with the emotion of 'fear'.
"Good night, Nicholas Zhao."
Gu Tianqing smiled slightly and silently took out a skinning knife.
The moonlight refracted by the knife was reflected on the rotten flesh called "Zhao Xingchen".
It made Zhao Xingchen look miserable and helpless, like a piece of meat on the chopping board.
After killing the Demon King.
Irin was covered in mucus and felt very uncomfortable.
However, it was obviously not the time to take a bath.
"Fragment of the Tinder Source?"
Irin's heart moved. He thought that the breathing lamp that was dug out from the Demon King's chest should be the source of everything.
However, what was a fragment of the Tinder Source?
After turning it into a card, Irin didn't have time to look at the attributes and kept it in the storage space first.
Boom!
After losing the fragment of the Tinder Source, the Demon King, who was still jumping around crazily, instantly lost its power and turned into a pile of lifeless scrap iron. It fell down with a loud crash and slowly sank into the deep sea.
From now on, there was no more Demon King in the world.
Irin put away the big saw and twisted the accelerator. The exhaust sound tore through the sky. Irin rushed out of the pile of mucus and landed on the sea again.
"Thank you."
Suddenly.
A gentle laugh sounded beside Yi Lin's ear.
Irin looked around and found that there was no one around.
"Alice?"
There was relief and purity in the laughter. There was no resentment hidden under the laughter in the past. Irin could still tell this.
Alice's laughter disappeared in a flash, as if it was an illusion.
At this time, Irin really couldn't tell if it was an illusion or if Alice really left a belated last sentence.
After all, after the Trident disappeared, Alice should have disappeared. It was impossible for her to continue to exist in this world.
"Alice" was also a type of curse.
"The legendary … Ascending to heaven on the spot and becoming a Buddha on the spot?"
Irin couldn't help but laugh.
"Ling! Ling! Ling! "
Ruth was still alive. She was so happy that she cried. She moved along with the waves and waved crazily in Irin's direction on the sea.
Taking advantage of the last moment, Irin quickly drove the motorcycle to Ruth.
Soaking in the cold sea, Ruth's face was flushed. Her eyes were blurred, as if she had endless words to say but didn't know if she should say them.
Irin knew that there was not much time left, so he quickly said, "I have to go."
Ruth was stunned.
Without waiting for Ruth to ask, Irin took out a bunch of treasures, gems, treasure maps, gold coins, canned food, and water from the storage space and stuffed them all into Ruth's hands.
These useless items would not be of any use even if they were brought back to the real world.
Those gold coins had unique historical characteristics. If they were sold in the real world, it might cause some trouble. Plus, apostles did not have much desire for wealth in the real world, so Irin was too lazy to leave them in the storage space. It would be a waste of precious space. He would just treat it as clearing out the trash in the storage space.
Ruth's eyes widened. Before she could express her joy of surviving, she suddenly had a realization. It was as if she understood the deep meaning behind Elizabeth Ling's hurried actions.
She … was leaving?
This was premeditated, wasn't it?
There was even a beautiful bow on the package?
Irin cleared out the storage space, then took off the mask. He smiled and added, "You don't have to ask. I probably … won't come back."
Ruth couldn't help but hug Elizabeth Ling tightly. "My dear captain, then one day in the future …"
Irin chuckled and pressed his index finger on Ruth's lips, interrupting her.
"Shh —"
"Did you know that 'one day in the future' is a curse?"
"Because when you think 'one day in the future'."
"It usually means …"
“Never。”
Hiss.
[Main Mission 3: Seal 'Calypso' and kill the 'Demon King'! Mission completed!]
In an instant.
Everything was silent.
Time stood still.
Everything in this world was completely frozen.
The cold moonlight, the thick fog that was torn apart, the Demon King's corpse that sank to the bottom of the sea, the messy surface of the sea, the countless wreckage of ships, and the flames and smoke that were not extinguished yet were frozen in time. Everything in front of him froze into a tragic yet beautiful picture, reflected in Irin's eyes.
Irin waved his hand, and the Nightingale turned into light and disappeared into the void.
He stepped on the surface of the sea and enjoyed the moment of peace.
No matter how many times he returned, the scene before returning was always so mesmerizing.
Looking at the frozen world, he had the illusion that he was above the world. It was as if at this moment, the existence of the apostles had completely transcended the 'world' and everything else. It was intoxicating.
Irin looked down and saw Ruth soaked in the sea. In her eyes, there seemed to be an emotion called sadness.
"Heh, lady boss, let's not meet again."
After saying that, Irin did not linger and walked on the frozen surface of the sea.
Gou 'zi was combing his fur with his tongue. When he saw Irin pass by, he silently used his two paws to make a few complicated gestures.
Irin: "???"
'Can you at least speak human language?'
Irin ignored Wang Tiandi and went straight to Gu Tianqing.
Gu Tianqing had a smile on his face. On the surface of the sea, there was a pile of unknown rotten meat that was also frozen in time.
At the end of this world, the two of them looked at each other.
There was not much time left. In the end, Irin was the first to break the silence.
"Which side do you belong to?"
Gu Tianqing: "Guess?"
"Heh, you despicable pirate."
Gu Tianqing smiled and changed the topic. "Killing the demon king should be a good reward, right?"
Irin blinked. "Do you want to know? I'll tell you. "
Gu Tianqing: "?"
"Give me your hand."
Gu Tianqing hesitated for a few seconds. He did not expect to really reach out his hand. It was as if he thought that Irin would not cause any trouble at this moment.
Pa!
A pile of mucus instantly stuck to Gu Tianqing's hand.
Irin: "The BOSS is covered in this stuff."
Gu Tianqing: "…"
In the next second.
Irin's vision blurred. In his vision, the dark night and the vast sea were replaced by a dazzling stream of light.
In the stream of light.
[Calculating rating …]
[Rating: A]
[Note: Due to the reward of 'Main Mission 2', rating + 1!]
[Final rating: S!]
Irin: "…"
"A" …?
Irin was a little disappointed. However, after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense and he felt relieved.
[Total attribute points reward + 0.8!]
[Allocating based on Apostle 1010's trial performance …]
[Strength + 0.4, Agility + 0.2, Spirit + 0.6, Willpower + 0.2, Luck -0.5, Charm -0.1 …]
Yes, Luck and Charm were deducted by 0.6 and added to other battle-related attributes. Wasn't this a very normal operation? There was nothing to be surprised about.
Normal … my foot!
Irin was too tired to complain.
The calculation continued.
[Calculating Death Points …]
[Difficulty Bonus: 40% (Nightmare Difficulty)]
[Rating Bonus: 30%]
[Obtained Death Points: 3400!]
Irin looked at the 'massive' amount of Death Points. His expression was neither happy nor sad.
After leveling up to Stage 2, the basic Death Points for each trial had reached 2000 points. Adding the difficulty and rating bonus, it seemed like a lot, but it was actually just so-so.
Irin had earned a lot of Death Points from the experience in Haiting City. Now, these 3000 plus Death Points could not affect Irin's mood. It was just a drizzle.
Oh, it was time to draw the lottery!
Irin waited silently.
He was very calm.
…
[Now drawing a random reward!]
[Obtained item "Scene Card: Sunken Ship" x1!]
[Obtained item "Rotten Tentacle of Sea Monster" x3!]
…
Irin was speechless.
He silently calculated his current Luck. He held his hand and looked at it with tears in his eyes. He was speechless.
The calculation continued.
…
[Due to Apostle 1010, part of "Alice's Long-Cherished Wish" hidden storyline has been completed. Completion rate is 32%. Obtained "Alice Mini Fantasy Commemorative Badge" x1.]
[Due to Apostle 1010, you obtained a certain amount of activity in the trial under the name "Skeleton Gentleman." You can change your current title to "Skeleton Gentleman." Yes/No?]
[Yes/No?]
Irin thought about it and chose to change it.
[Level up …]
[Congratulations, Stage 1 Apostle, you have reached Level 16 of the Tower of Death.]
[Current Level: LV16]
[Detected slight damage to Apostle 1010's body. Consume Death Points to repair the damage?]
[Yes/No?]
The slight damage was probably the side effect of using the psychic needles. Irin did not suffer much damage in the final scene. However, to be safe, Irin chose to repair the damage without hesitation. The more death points he had, the better it would be.
“YES。”
[Consumed 58 Death Points!]
[Repair completed in an instant.]
[Return!]
…
On the surface of the sea.
Time resumed its flow.
The Demon King's body continued to sink until it completely decayed. It might not be salvaged.
The surrounding fog had completely dissipated. From today onwards, there would be no more curses in this world. There would be no more mysterious fog in this world.
Splash.
Elizabeth Ling suddenly fell into the cold sea.
Ruth's vision blurred. For some reason, Elizabeth Lin, who had been in front of her, suddenly teleported to a place not far away. Although Ruth was dumbfounded, she still hurriedly swam forward. She did not even have time to care about the big bag of "property" that had been packed.
"Ling! My captain! "
Elizabeth Ling's eyes were tightly shut as she fainted.
On the surface of the sea.
A dog swam in a slightly disheveled manner. It panted as it swam towards them. Its dog eyes were wide open, and it was panicking.
Not far away.
A navigator from Japan, "Amakusa Seishiro", had a complicated expression on his face. It was mixed with pain, confusion, shock, and confusion. His heart suddenly stopped beating. His expression was completely frozen. Then, he silently sank to the bottom of the sea.
Even he didn't know how he died. He was clearly still in his warm bed a second ago, but when he came back to his senses, he was already here. He didn't even have time to say his last words before he died tragically at sea.
Ruth did not know what happened. She just frantically called Elizabeth Ling's name.
Suddenly.
Elizabeth Ling opened her eyes. Her eyes were shining with a deep blue light, just like the color of the sea in front of her.
"Damned outsider!"
Elizabeth Ling gritted her teeth. Her eyes were filled with hatred that Ruth felt was extremely unfamiliar.
Ruth said, "Ling?"
A moment later.
The hatred in Elizabeth Ling's eyes disappeared. She bobbed on the surface of the sea, elegantly rubbing the ornament on her earlobe.
There was a drop of dried blood on the earring. It melted into Elizabeth Ling's white fingertips without a trace.
Elizabeth Ling Swan smiled at Ruth. "Do you want to see the new world?"
New, new world?
Ruth did not know where she was thinking. Her breathing quickened a little.
Was, was, was it that exciting?
You, you finally figured it out! My good captain!
Thinking deeply, Ruth also felt her limbs heat up in the cold sea. She subconsciously twisted.
She did not notice that after Elisabeth Winter said those words, a trace of hidden hatred flashed in her eyes.
Ten days later.
Various versions of the battle in the Fog Sea spread throughout the sea.
London.
The Governor's Mansion.
An elegant woman with a calm demeanor appeared in the empty and gloomy Governor's Mansion.
Elizabeth Ling went straight to the gorgeous corridor on the first floor, which was carved with concave and convex spiral reliefs, as if she had entered no man's land.
Beep beep beep beep —
After Elizabeth Ling slowly stepped through the corridor, a dazzling red light flashed around her, and the alarm rang loudly.
But soon, the ear-piercing alarm went silent again, as if it had never sounded.
Elisabeth Winter walked gracefully up to the dark door.
She had not yet entered the password when the elevator opened on its own, as if welcoming Elizabeth Ling's arrival.
Ten minutes later.
Underneath the Governor's Mansion.
This was a room filled with white light.
The four walls of the room were covered with many strange instruments, which made beeping sounds from time to time.
In the center of the room, in a glass tank filled with a strange green liquid, there was a mutilated body soaking.
It looked like the head of the mutilated body in the glass tank was still intact. Electrodes connected to wires were stuck around the head. The face was fragmented, and the appearance was terrible.
Below the head, it was even more miserable. Most of the body seemed to have been bitten off by some monster. Only half of the body was left.
If it was a normal person, they would definitely not be able to survive in this state.
Elizabeth Ling came to the glass tank and chuckled. "Long time no see, Governor Henry Turner. Or should I call you … Outsider? "
In the glass tank filled with green liquid.
The fragmented body, the closed eyes on the face, slowly opened.
"Do you want to leave this world? Outsider. "
Gurgle —
In the glass tank, a string of tiny bubbles suddenly gushed out.
