Wen Manni was so scared that her face turned pale.
Ghost energy value …
100%!
When did this happen?!
"You're wondering, aren't you?"
Irin smiled.
Wen Manni looked up.
One was in the sky.
One was on the ground.
Irin looked down at her from above.
It was as if he had everything under his control.
Irin's next sentence completely shattered Wen Manni's last bit of hope.
"At the beginning of the plot, there was a sentence.
"They carry their own 'Ghost-slaying Sabers' and slay the malicious ghosts, bringing a ray of light to Haunted-mist Mountain.
"In other words, every ghost hunter has their own 'saber'.
"In this plot mode, the ghost energy value is not calculated based on 'who' killed the ghost … It's calculated based on 'whose saber' killed the ghost."
Wen Manni trembled.
She finally understood.
In the dim grove of trees —
"It's him —"
Her voice cracked.
Li Changge!
Li Changge had secretly switched her saber!
That scumbag had been acting the whole time!
Scumbag!
Scumbag!
Scumbag —!
"It's time."
Under Wen Manni's shocked gaze, Irin calmly took out a cracked wooden box from his storage space.
Irin's eyes focused, and his expression became serious.
He carefully opened the wooden box.
Inside the wooden box lay a piece of …
Human skin!
A piece of "human skin" with clear patterns!
The moment the wooden box was opened, an evil black aura suddenly spread out from the wooden box. With Irin as the center, it swept out.
In an instant, the wooden box in Irin's hand seemed to have turned into the legendary "Pandora's Box", emitting endless evil.
Haunted-mist Mountain.
It was actually a cursed place to raise ghosts.
Ghosts ate humans, humans ate ghosts, and humans became ghosts.
Haunted-mist Mountain was like a completely sealed venomous insect. Most of the ghost energy would gradually gather on a certain "creature" during the continuous killing and devouring.
This process was like the legendary venomous insect rearing.
All the creatures on Haunted-mist Mountain were like poisonous insects in a venomous insect rearing in a venomous insect.
This creature could be a human, a ghost, or … a ghost hunter.
The former ghost hunters, Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi, turned into ghosts in the end.
The legendary Ghost Hunter Nie Xiu had hunted countless ghosts, but in the end, he too had turned into a ghost.
But none of them could become Ghost Kings.
If he wanted to become the only Ghost King, this was the only day.
At the intersection of Yin and Yang, when the Blood Moon descended, the person with the strongest Ghost Qi would become the Ghost King.
Nie Xiu had spent many years killing countless people and ghosts. In the end, he understood everything and planned everything.
If Irin's guess was right, what was buried under the tombstone at the top of Haunted-mist Mountain should be a part of Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi's body.
It was suppressed at the peak of Haunted-mist Mountain by some kind of religious ceremony.
He didn't know where Nie Xiu had learned this secret technique.
Nie Xiu was already dead. Perhaps this would become a mystery that would never be solved.
But generally speaking …
It should be similar to what Irin had speculated.
"The reason you haven't become a Ghost King is because you haven't met the person who gave you a piece of human skin."
Yi Lin smiled faintly and moved his mind.
The piece of "human skin" in the wooden box flew toward Wen Manni at lightning speed.
"No —"
Wen Manni let out a shrill scream and turned to leave without caring about anything else.
Go, go, go, go!
She had completely believed what Irin had said!
Because she had already faintly sensed that something was wrong.
Just as Irin had said, this plot mode was full of strangeness.
But under the temptation of the plot evaluation, Wen Manni had unintentionally ignored all the incongruities.
Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food.
Apostles … Needless to say.
Wen Manni's current Agility attribute, with the help of the Ghost Qi, had reached the limit of what humans could reach.
Just as Irin had said, if she couldn't break through the "Limit of Agility," her Agility attribute could only be increased to 10 points and couldn't be increased by even 0.1 points.
But the limit of a human was also extremely terrifying.
Wen Manni had just turned around and crossed nearly 100 meters in one step. She was so fast that she left behind a series of afterimages.
Her body was in front of her shadow, and the shadow was behind her.
Irin couldn't capture Wen Manni's speed even with his "sight."
This showed how terrifying the limit of Agility was.
But the piece of human skin that had flown out followed Wen Manni like gangrene attached to the bone.
It was even faster than Wen Manni!
In the blink of an eye, the strange piece of human skin had covered Wen Manni's face.
The blood-red moonlight in the sky, which looked like a spotlight, had also caught up with Wen Manni.
It shrouded her.
Without a doubt, Wen Manni had become the "protagonist" of Haunted-mist Mountain.
She was … the Ghost King who was about to be born!
Irin glanced at Oda Wu. Seeing that she wouldn't die for now, he ignored her.
He directly soared into the sky and chased after the blood-red "spotlight."
Under the moonlight, Wen Manni clutched her head in pain.
The piece of human skin was nowhere to be seen.
But Wen Manni's skin was gradually turning purple. Under her skin, there seemed to be countless worms wriggling. Her veins were bulging. It was a horrifying sight.
Suddenly, Wen Manni raised her head.
She roared at the sky.
In an instant, with Wen Manni as the center, a fierce gust of wind spread out with a bang.
The thick blood mist was instantly torn apart.
With Wen Manni as the center, she could clearly see everything within 100 meters.
The blood-red moonlight slowly shrank.
From one meter to half a meter …
Finally, it shrank into a small beam of light and fell on Wen Manni's head.
Wen Manni suddenly raised her head.
Her eyes had turned completely blood-red.
She opened her mouth, and two slender fangs protruded from her upper and lower jaw.
Wen Manni … no, from now on, she should be called the Ghost King.
Chi.
The last beam of moonlight completely shattered and dissipated into the night sky.
The blood-red moon in the sky also returned to its normal state.
Wen Manni stared at Irin in midair.
Her eyes were filled with hatred.
She could no longer open the "Apostle Panel."
After she had successfully mutated, she had only received a notification. Due to some special reasons, she had been stripped of her identity as an apostle.
In other words, even if she could kill everyone and survive in the end, she would not be able to leave this place.
She would not be able to return to the real world.
She would be completely bound by this mountain for the rest of her life.
This place had completely become a prison that she could not escape from.
"Ahhhhh —!"
Right now, the only thing on Wen Manni's mind was to kill Irin.
Her heart was filled with hatred.
Boundless resentment, as vast as the sea, completely drowned her reason.
Hate, hate, hate!
Kill, kill, kill!
She wanted to use the cruelest method to kill everyone who was still alive on Haunted-mist Mountain.
She wanted to use the cruelest method to torture them to death.
Wen Manni roared, and the flesh on her arms wriggled. Countless tentacles wrapped around her sleeves.
In the blink of an eye, her original weapons, the two sleeves, were swallowed by Wen Manni into her flesh and blood and merged into one.
The two blades also became an extension of her arms, becoming the Ghost King's tentacles.
"Not enough! Not enough! Not enough! "
Wen Manni had no choice but to give up.
The hatred and resentment in her heart made her disregard everything.
Her two tentacles suddenly stabbed into the ground.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle —
From other parts of the forest, the ground cracked open. Countless tentacles appeared out of nowhere and engulfed all the ghosts in the forest.
Li Changge, who was alone in the misty forest, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
"F * ck!"
"Run!"
Li Changge grabbed Pan Zhengyi and ran toward Irin with all his strength while dodging the tentacles that broke out of the ground.
He swore.
This was the fastest he had ever run in his life.
There was no other speed!
…
Irin's eyes narrowed.
"This is …"
Was she swallowing all the ghosts on Haunted-mist Mountain?
Was she crazy?
She was right.
Irin sympathized with her.
Wen Manni had become the Ghost King.
In other words, she had changed from an "apostle" to the final boss of this trial world.
What she was doing now was nothing more than what every final BOSS should do, and what she had to do.
That was … to destroy all the players who came here to challenge the dungeon.
From Irin's perspective, countless wriggling tentacles surged out of the mountain.
In the ruins of the village.
The ground was a mess.
The broken ground cracked open. The tentacles seemed to come alive and devoured all life, regardless of whether it was human or ghost.
Oda Wu fell to the ground and gasped for breath. She recovered some strength and stood up again. She waved the sword in her hand and sent the tentacles flying.
Although Oda Wu looked a little haggard, the tentacles wouldn't be able to kill her for a while.
The tentacles that had devoured countless ghosts were like blood vessels, sending nutrients to Wen Manni, who was in the center.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Irin knew that he couldn't let Wen Manni continue to develop.
"It's time to end all of this."
He couldn't just watch Wen Manni develop to the maximum level.
"From now on, let the world …"
Irin prepared to use Calamity to interrupt Wen Manni's development.
Wen Manni was no longer in human form. She didn't look like her usual delicate self.
Her entire body was covered in wriggling greenish-black flesh, and it looked as if there were numerous terrifying sarcomas hanging from her body. It was an extremely shocking sight.
She suddenly sneered, and her voice sounded like it came from the netherworld. "Do you think your control skills will work on me?
"To deal with you, I've already increased my Willpower to the maximum. Your control skills won't work on me!
"Everyone here has to die! Die, die, die!
"Even if I can't run away, all of you will stay here with me!"
Wen Manni roared madly as she increased the speed at which she devoured the flesh.
Her originally petite body began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few seconds, Wen Manni had turned into a terrifying mountain of flesh.
Countless tentacles reached out from the "mountain of flesh" and whipped the ground. Deep cracks appeared on the ground.
Boom, boom, boom!
The tentacles flew everywhere.
Irin stopped chanting.
"Heh, thanks for the reminder."
Irin quickly moved on to the next step.
Plan ABCDE. Follow the plan.
Irin held the saber in his left hand and slowly raised his right hand.
Boom, boom, boom!
The ground —
It was shaking!
Wen Manni was shocked!
The village, the forest, and the ground all collapsed with the rumbling sound!
The ground cracked and turned into small floating islands that floated behind Irin.
The houses of the villagers were also in ruins and reformed into countless pieces of rubble that floated behind Irin.
Irin's face was pale. No one noticed that after Irin did this, his body was trembling slightly.
His forehead was also covered in sweat.
Wen Manni looked at the scene in horror.
What the f * ck?
What was this?
Who was the boss?
"Go!"
Irin pointed his finger. The floating islands, the village, the dead trees, and everything that floated behind Irin came from all directions and pressed down on Wen Manni with incredible power!
Suppress!
"Impossible!"
Wen Manni only had time to let out a miserable cry before she was drowned by the countless heavy objects.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Pan Xiaozheng, Li Changge, and Oda Wu all stopped what they were doing at the same time.
They all looked at the man floating in the sky with astonishment in their eyes, who looked like a God or Devil.
This kind of action could no longer be called … human!
"Is this guy using hacks?"
In the blink of an eye, Wen Manni's physical body, which had been formed after devouring all the flesh and blood, was buried under countless pieces of rubble and dust.
Upon seeing this, Li Changge was dumbfounded.
Pan Xiaozheng's eyes flickered. No one knew what he was thinking.
Oda Wu, on the other hand, sat down limply on the ground. She no longer had the strength to swing her saber.
Ghost King Wen Manni's voice was completely drowned out.
On the ground, all the tentacles stopped moving.
Irin felt a stabbing pain in his head.
His Spiritual Energy was being rapidly depleted.
But it didn't matter. The outcome had already been decided.
In Irin's eyes, Wen Manni's "will-o '-the-wisp" was like a firefly in the dark night. It was also like a lamp in a sea of bitterness. It was dazzling.
It was more dazzling than any other ghost's will-o '-the-wisp.
If I don't kill you … who am I supposed to kill?
"No!"
With a loud boom, Wen Manni suddenly broke free from the restraints of the hill and burst out of the ground.
Her body was covered in wounds of various sizes, and black blood spurted out from them.
She stared at the figure floating in the sky in disbelief.
She roared in indignation.
The entire Haunted-mist Mountain was deafening.
"Impossible! You're cheating! How can the limit of your spiritual power be this high?! "
Wen Manni didn't believe it!
She wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death!
She could guess that Irin had strengthened his spiritual power.
But Irin had also said that there was a limit to human strength, agility, and spiritual power.
As long as one was human, they would never be able to break through this limit.
Unless …
"Cheating?"
Irin repeated in a low voice.
He … didn't comment on this.
He was well aware of his current attributes.
…
[Spiritual Energy Value] 560 (+ 900)
[Spirit] 5.6 (+ 9.0)
…
Irin's spiritual power had already broken through the "limit" when his will-o '-the-wisp value exceeded 60%.
Perhaps it was because he had broken through the limit in his previous life. Everything happened naturally.
Irin couldn't even feel the existence of the "lock".
He had also regained control of "psychokinesis".
Cheating?
Let's just assume that it was.
Who couldn't cheat?
Irin smiled slightly.
He didn't answer.
Instead, he said, "Have you ever seen a sword technique that descends from the sky?"
Wen Manni was stunned.
Whoosh —
A dark red light, burning with black flames, descended from the sky.
From the beginning, Irin had separated the "tentacles" of his psychokinesis to suspend Blood Jasmine in the air.
The seemingly intimidating cloud of dust and the pressure of the mountain were just to restrict Wen Manni's movements.
After all, her will-o '-the-wisp value wasn't much. It was best to control her before attacking.
Wen Manni didn't even have time to react before she was struck by the "Ghost Slaying Sword" infused with Ghost Energy. It accurately hit the "will-o '-the-wisp" in her body.
Crack.
This strike completely shattered the Ghost Jade hidden in Wen Manni's body.
Wen Manni's terrifyingly vigorous will-o '-the-wisp was instantly extinguished.
…
[Congratulations apostle 1010 for successfully killing the "Ghost King"!]
[Chaos Value + 650!]
[Main Mission: Kill the Ghost King. Mission completed!]
It was finally over!
The thick fog dissipated.
The wind was clear and the moon was bright.
"It's finally … over."
Irin slowly landed on the ground from the sky.
He raised his head.
He looked at the bright moon in the sky.
The thick fog that had shrouded Haunted-mist Mountain for the past ten years had completely disappeared at this moment.
It was as if it had never appeared.
Parting the clouds, he finally saw the blue sky.
Suddenly.
At this moment.
A small piece of human skin peeled off soundlessly from Wen Manni's gigantic, crumbling body.
It flew toward Irin!
Crack.
Irin's expression changed slightly.
That strange piece of "human skin" actually broke through Irin's "psychokinesis" shield.
It slapped Irin's face.
At this moment.
A line of words appeared before Irin's eyes.
[Received Parasitic Growth Equipment "Resentment".]
“?”
That piece of "human skin" …
It was actually an equipment?
And it was the most unique and rare Parasitic Growth Equipment among all the equipment types?
As everyone knew, equipment was divided into six grades: Rough, Normal, Rare, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.
Outside of these six grades, there was a type of equipment that was called "Special".
There were many types of Special, and they did not belong to the six grades.
Among these Special equipment, some were useless, some had trash attributes, but some were even more terrifying than Legendary equipment.
It was both a Parasitic Growth Equipment …
Irin was somewhat surprised.
After that piece of "human skin" was placed on Irin's face, Irin only felt a cooling sensation on his face, and then he could no longer feel anything.
Irin touched his face. It felt no different from before.
At this moment.
After Irin received "Resentment", Li Changge and Pan Zhengyi ran over.
Pan Zhengyi had a silly smile on his face as he followed behind Li Changge.
"Bah! Scumbag! "
Suddenly, Pan Zhengyi spat at Li Changge's back.
Inexplicable.
Li Changge, who had survived the disaster, directly ignored Pan Zhengyi's vulgar words. He ran in front of Irin in two steps.
His face was calm and relaxed.
His hair was not messy.
His eyes were sharp.
Suddenly, Li Changge hugged Irin's thigh.
"Boss! Do you still need a pendant on your leg? From now on, I'll follow you! "
"Get lost!"
Irin did not hesitate to use the last of his psionic energy value to activate "psychokinesis". He condensed an invisible palm and slapped Li Changge away.
Oda Wu also struggled to stand up. She was seriously injured. It was already very difficult for her to stand up.
When she saw Irin looking over, she just nodded slightly and did not say anything.
The next moment.
Everything was silent.
This world suddenly froze.
The four apostles who were still alive became the only ones who could still move in this world.
Li Changge got up from the ground with his face covered in dust. He did not continue to make a scene. He sat on the ground and waited for the score.
…
[Calculating the rating of the pass …]
[Evaluation: SSS]
As expected by Irin, it was indeed an SSS rating.
In this trial, Irin could be said to have done the best.
Killed Nie Xiu.
Dug out the plot.
Obtained the source of the ghost land on Haunted-mist Mountain … "Resentment".
Released Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi.
Killed the Ghost King with his own hands.
Killed countless monsters.
If he could not get an SSS rating after doing all this, it would really be a bit unjustifiable.
Irin was quite satisfied with this kind of ending.
The calculation of the pass continued.
[Total attribute points reward + 1.5!]
[Allocating according to apostle 1010's trial performance …]
[Strength + 0.4, Agility + 0.6, Spirit + 0.8, Willpower + 0.2, Luck -0.3, Charm -0.2 …]
“!”
A total attribute allocation of 1.5 was very generous.
Spirit increased by 0.8 in one go. It was simply unprecedented.
It seemed that "Tower" had given him a very high evaluation of his performance in the battle of wits in the level.
Moreover, Irin's ghost-hunting method in the trial was mainly assassination, so the "Agility" bonus was also quite skewed.
As for Charm and Luck …
Irin was expressionless.
If this continued, it seemed that he would gradually drift away from "handsome" and "lucky" existences.
Irin also could not predict what would happen if Charm and Luck continued to drop like this.
Forget it, he would not care for now.
[Calculating the death points reward …]
[Difficulty Bonus: None]
[Evaluation Bonus: 50%]
[Received Death Points: 1500!]
[Now drawing a random reward!]
