Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen - Chapter 319 NO GAME NO LIFE
“boom–!”
The sound of the earth being cracked suddenly sounded, and the quiet cold light was directly trampled by the terrifying hooves of the demon species with a demonic posture.
It didn’t even look at Rick who was standing in front of it, and didn’t even have the desire to attack. It just waved its claws casually, and its arms were as terrifying as the attacks of poisonous snakes. The dark claws were wrapped by the alienated elf. It seemed to be coated in a bright red coat, with layers of afterimages, slashing towards Rick’s body.
Looking at the afterimage that still looked like lightning under the enhanced vision, Rick’s face was solemn. When the cold breath on the dark claws was close to his body, he suddenly jumped his legs , in conjunction with the twisting of the spine, with a light and vigorous posture, he narrowly avoided the attack of the demon species.
In the process, he even calmly ignored the murderous intention that could put him to death at any time, accurately stabbed into the joint of the opponent’s attacking arm, and cut it along the lines of the muscles, leaving the purple-black The blood spurted out.
For a moment, even the unpleasant smell of the spirit corpse was diluted by the sweet smell of blood.
“Hoho-!”
The severe pain from his arm caused the demon to let out a sharp roar, which was filled with disbelief.
Its eyes suddenly widened, and it had not yet woken up from the facts in its eyes.
How can this be?
It wasn’t that it was surprised that Rick had dodged his attack. After all, the casual blow had no intention, it was just done casually.
After all, the murderous intention it had towards this little man was probably the level of stepping on the ants on the roadside when passing by.
As a high-level demon species with high intelligence, its purpose of being attracted to this group of humans is naturally not because it wants to rob the hunted wolves. In fact, the reason why it came here is because it recently discovered that its own kind was actually being killed. Human beings kill this strange thing in order to find out the truth about why the human species has undergone such changes.
That’s why it allowed the slow-moving humans to escape for observation, otherwise it would have torn these weaklings into pieces.
In the face of the huge gap between the two, even if it would be more or less dragged down by its huge size, it would still be far superior to the group of humans in front of it.
Not to mention its already excellent strength and defense, even the magical attack of the elf species cannot break through its scales, but why, that weak human can actually hurt himself, even though the thing he is holding in his hand is not It’s not a magic weapon, just an ordinary iron sword.
However, before the monster could think of the answer, Rick had already bullied him. With amazing balance, he used his body as a springboard, pierced its internal organs with his sword again, and cut off several of its internal organs. Thick blood vessels.
The blood spurted out as if it had found a breakthrough, dyeing the monster’s huge body a deep purple-red color.
This kind of injury is no longer a trivial matter like before. Although I wanted to study whether this weirdness was caused by the strangeness of the person in front of me, the manic instinct still caused this demon species to burst out instinctively. own magic.
In his angry roar, the alienated elves that had seeped into his bones during his innate transformation suddenly burst out, spreading like gunpowder that was instantly ignited, with a terrifying power that was like a mountain falling apart.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the air being squeezed, a circle of air waves visible to the naked eye radiated in all directions, and as expected, Rick’s figure was lifted high and flew backwards, hitting the hillside in the distance. On the ground, a deep pit like a spider web was created.
“boom–!”
The unabated force rolled up countless sharp wind blades, cutting everything around them. For a moment, there was only the sound of buzzing friction.
“snort!”
The tall demon let out a cold snort, and did not pay attention to Rick who was knocked away. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at his wound with solemn eyes. By forcibly closing the muscles, the blood flowing out has been greatly reduced.
But this trend still hasn’t stopped. Every few seconds, a drop of crystal clear and sticky blood will be squeezed out from the wound and hit the ground, making an unknown low sound.
This phenomenon made the demon roar even more angrily, and there was even a hint of inexplicable fear.
As the pinnacle of the lower-level races, the physical strength of the demon species is far from comparable to that of the orcs, and this is even more true for the upper-level demon species.
If it hadn’t been like a big hole, injuries like blood vessels and even internal organs cut off by the sword would have been directly covered by the regeneration ability in the next moment. However, its injuries have never improved since the battle with that human. It seems to be solidified.
The demon raised its head and was about to check on the human body, but after taking just one step, it stopped.
In the diffuse smoke and dust, I withstood his diffuse spiritual energy at close range. With the quality that the other party had just shown, he should have suffered serious injuries such as his internal organs being squeezed into a ball and his bones broken inch by inch. If he was unlucky, it would be normal for him to die on the spot. But now, except for the fact that his clothes were a little messy, Rick seemed to have nothing wrong with him.
No, there is still one change.
The demon squeezed his eyes in confusion and looked at the strange red strip on Rick’s head. At the front end, a small section of red light and shadow was slowly disappearing, leaving a pale empty groove.
It raised its head belatedly, only to find that there was a similar strip on its head at some point, but it was much longer than Rick.
“What kind of technique is this?”
It raised its own questions in human language that was not very proficient.
However, the young man with an excited smile on his face readily gave it the answer using his skilled demonic language.
“This is not a technique, but a mechanism.”
“mechanism?”
“That’s right.” Rick narrowed his eyes and looked at the long red strip on the enemy’s head. “Whether it’s your unrecovered injuries, or the fact that I was knocked away but only suffered a small amount of damage, and the blood on our heads. Articles are all mechanisms. In a game where players are fighting against a disproportionate BOSS, in order to give them the possibility of defeating them, these mechanisms will inevitably exist.”
Rick paused slightly and said slowly: “Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to you. If you are willing to give me the opportunity to explain the rules, this game will become a PK between players. On the contrary, It will make this game much more difficult.β
“But under the inherent arrogance of the superior species, you and the other demon species took the lead in launching the attack. In this case, you can only exist as the BOSS. Considering the gap between us before, my’ NO GAME NO LIFE’ will naturally suppress your regeneration ability, and the large-area moves that can instantly kill me will further reduce the damage while retaining the effect of being knocked away. After all, the balance of the game is very important.”
“NO GAME NO LIFE?”
The face of the demon species changed, chewing on this unknown term.
“Yes, this is my spiritual equipment,” Rick said softly, “Although Lord Roland does not have a fixed title for this type of ability, according to him, this guy is a variant of the power of the mind combined with the void and the substitute. Therefore, I took the liberty of calling it the spiritual equipment.”
Arms built from the heart.
Rick has sincerely prayed countless times, if only reality were as simple as a game.
Even if the rules are unfair, even if the opponent cheats, as long as there is a possibility of reversing the rules of strength and weakness, he will definitely find a strategy to get out of the desperate situation.
Perhaps it was such a strong desire that allowed Rick to obtain such a spiritual equipment.
“Although it’s just an experiment, in terms of spiritual equipment alone, your chess piece has already reached the second level.”
Even Lord Roland gave him such a comment.
Although Rick seemed to understand this sentence at first, when he saw that Croni could only use part of her spiritual equipment’s abilities after awakening, but he could materialize the chess pieces, he also roughly understood what he meant. of particularity.
As long as he selects a specific object with the chess piece in his hand and declares the rules he has sworn to, both parties will start a game that cannot be interfered with as players.
From battles, wisdom, to simple competitions, as long as both parties agree, anything, life, soul, and even some conceptual existence can be used as a bet.
Depending on the strength of the opponent, the difficulty of the game will be automatically balanced by Rick’s spiritual equipment. However, if the gap is too large, at most it will only retain the lower limit of having a strategy.
An attack like this monster that starts fighting without saying a word and directly aims to take away lives will be regarded as cheating, giving Rick a huge advantage. The opponent is given the solidification of the boss template, which is the most significant one of the punishments.
It was precisely by relying on its power that Rick killed a low-level demon species alone last time.
“You said this was a game? Stop joking!”
Although the demon had vaguely understood the meaning of Rick’s words, it still had no intention of believing it. Instead, it made a shocking movement and rushed over again.
The atmosphere vibrated vigorously with the roar. Normally, these chaotic airflows carrying elves would be enough to cut Rick’s neck open.
But under the influence of the mechanism, just as the vulnerable iron sword in his hand will definitely break through the defense of the demon species as long as it hits, for Rick now, this is just a strong wind.
Rick stood up silently and raised the sword in his hand.
With the time just now, his physical strength bar has been restored to full. Coupled with the bleeding injuries caused by this long sword, after two more rounds, this high-ranking demon species will inevitably die.
However, the next moment, a huge claw clawed at his body in horror.
With a clear intention to kill, the demon exploded with far greater intensity than usual. Rick looked solemn and took this opportunity to stab the opponent straight into the heart.
The demon species who realized this acted almost at the same time as Rick. When he thrust out the sword, he also brazenly stretched out another claw.
Then, in Rick’s surprised eyes, the long sword with a clear sound penetrated into the demon’s heart without hesitation, and the enemy’s claws had already grabbed his calf.
This demon actually had no intention of blocking the attack. Instead, it directly held Rick’s body and pushed him to the ground and dragged him along.
In an instant, the blood bars above their heads began to drop rapidly!
“Can your game mechanism stop such an offensive?”
Seeing that the plan was working, a cunning light flashed in the demon’s eyes.
Although he didn’t know much about the game, he had only a vague understanding of many of Rick’s words, but this did not prevent him from understanding the fact that he would die after the red strip on his head disappeared.
But according to that human being, this should be relative.
Even if you don’t have that kind of player status, there is no reason why the opponent will not fail. Judging from the length and frequency, the opponent must die first!
Now that we have fallen into the enemy’s calculations, we might as well take full advantage of our speed, which is not limited by our power.
No moves are used, only ordinary bodies are used to compete.
Anyway, even if he guessed wrong, he still had room for recovery.
Pressed to the ground and dragged along, Rick’s mouth was completely filled with the smell of rust, and his face was pale, but his characteristic of not having his physical attributes affected due to the reduction of his health bar was still being exerted tenaciously. effect.
The young man struggled to twist the hilt of the sword in his hand, letting it crush the huge heart completely.
But even such a serious injury could not change the vitality difference between the two. Rick’s health bar dropped to the edge at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he looked in danger.
On the other hand, the demon species still has a health bar that is nearly one third of its length.
“It’s just a human! You’re trying to fight against a demon species, so stop dreaming!”
Just when the demon species was laughing maniacally and wanted to use its own strange power to end this battle, its eyes widened suddenly.
Because, in an extremely unfavorable situation, the smile at the corner of Rick’s mouth still did not shrink, and he even had time to cast a caring look at the enemy as if he was mentally retarded.
“Because of this…why do you think that you can win the game by fighting an irresistible battle with pure attributes?”
A blazing white light suddenly lit up in Rick’s hand, and his already exhausted body actually gave birth to a new force out of thin air. It was tossing inside the demon’s body like a river, and the demon’s health bar dropped. The speed also suddenly increased to a new level.
And his health bar suddenly became longer, saving him from dying.
“No, that’s impossible!”
“Thankfully, I revealed some rules to you. Whether as a player or as a BOSS, you suck.”
Rick sighed and rolled his eyes helplessly.
“If the boss doesn’t have any tricks and only uses attributes to crush it, who will play such a crappy game? For the sake of balance, it is natural to add a function for players to increase the energy bar when they are hit.”
“In other words, in a layman’s terms that you can understand, just now – I upgraded.”
“so what!”
The demon species roared angrily and wanted to raise it again to continue its previous offensive.
“Even if your power becomes stronger, you are still far behind me. The result will not change. I will clear your health bar before you kill me!”
Hearing such innocent and ridiculous words, Rick was about to speak, but suddenly froze and looked above the demon species with surprised eyes.
There, an extremely brisk yet teasing voice sounded.
“It’s a good idea. Compared to other demon species, you are less stupid, but unfortunately, you will never be able to do this.”
“Didn’t this kid tell you everything? The health bar is also part of the mechanism. You only have a quarter of your blood bar left, so”
The demon turned his head in hindsight and stared blankly at the black-haired young man with ruby-like pupils in the sky. He looked at the two people fighting below with gentle eyes, as if issuing a verdict.
“ββIt’s time for execution.”
