The translucent long knife that rose from the flames swung down towards Lin Chi mercilessly.

Bang!

The weapon summoned by the shadow mage was blocked by the small round shield in Lin Chi's left hand, his knuckles suddenly crackled, and the paralyzing sensation like an electric shock crawled all the way from his left hand to his shoulder, and his left arm directly lost consciousness.

The attack power of that long knife was extremely strong, but after all, it was a summoned weapon, and the attack method was not as intelligent as the weapon held by people, after the first knife was blocked, the blade was raised high again, aiming at Lin Chi's body.

“Sius-gus……”

An unknown incantation floated from beneath the black mage's hood, like the hiss of a viper's spitting letters. The mage's way of fighting is to control the enemy at close range, and then summon a weapon to slash.

Although he had figured out the opponent's fighting style, Lin Chi, who did not have a long-range weapon at hand, had no way to deal with the enemy from a long distance, and only had a chance at close range. Now to make matters more troublesome, his right hand has been immobilized.

"Your life will be a sacrifice......"

The black mage let out an old laugh, and the long knife that was summoned unleashed a crisp slash towards Lin Chi's head!

Click!

A crisp cracking sound sounded, and the sharp pain spread to the bone, and at the last moment before being hit, Lin Chi's body turned around, and at the cost of a broken right hand, he dodged a fatal blow.

“……”

As if he didn't expect the enemy to be so reckless, the black mage was also a little surprised for a while, and at this time, Lin Chi had already relied on the strong stimulation brought by the severe pain, so that the strength of his left arm, which was almost unconscious, was restored again, and with a wave of his left hand, the round shield was also released.

With a crisp sound, the black magician's head was smashed by the shield, a mouthful of old blood spurted out from under the hood, and the dark restraint that controlled Lin Chi's right hand disappeared.

At this time, Lin Chi's right hand had already turned into a "gummy candy" thrown around, and there was still bleeding between his fingers, but even so, it couldn't be easier to deal with the unconscious black magician.

Dodging the long knife that came with the third swing, Lin Chi rushed to the side of the black mage who fell to the ground, and kicked the opponent's head with a big kick, only to hear a click, the guy's head tilted back ninety degrees, and the summoning weapon and the flames disappeared together.

"Emissary, you've completed the trial of tactics."

At the same time as the black mage died, the voice of the old god once again resounded throughout the arena: "Next, you have to face pure power, defeat him, and complete the final trial." ”

"Is it finally over......

Looking at his comminuted fractured right hand, Lin Chi bent down and picked up the short sword that fell to the ground with his left hand, and did not take the round shield that had made a great contribution just now.

This time in the arena was a black-skinned rhinoceros with a back covered in spiked armor.

Just looking at the appearance, this rhinoceros was a more difficult opponent than the two people just now, but when he saw the sharp horns on the top of the rhinoceros's head and the two small eyes, Lin Chi smiled instead.

- Even if the brute force is strong, the enemy is nothing more than a raging beast. After experiencing a series of bloody battles, Lin Chi felt a little relieved when he saw this kind of "weak" enemy.

He retreated to the edge of the arena and watched as the rhinoceros charged towards him, slamming to the right just as he was about to be knocked away.

Bang!

The rhinoceros's body slammed into the wooden wall of the arena, creating a spiderweb-shaped crack on the wooden board, and at the same time as it hit the wooden board, the short sword in Lin Chi's hand had already stabbed into the rhinoceros's flank, which was not covered by armor.

The rhinoceros's skin is indeed very hard, but the skin in the folds is very soft, which can be said to be the best target, Lin Chi pulled out his short sword, bringing out a long line of blood, avoiding the rhinoceros's constantly writhing body.

Once you know how to play, the next thing to do is to repeat the process over and over again. The rhinoceros, tormented by the kite-flying tactics, soon had several more wounds on its body, and the sand where it passed was covered with sticky blood plasma, and its movement speed became more and more slow.

Finally, when he was hit by the short sword for the fifth time, the rhinoceros finally struggled a few times, and lay on the ground and could no longer stand up, his little eyes kept turning, as if two tears were shed.

"I'm sorry, I have to live." Lin Chi said and threw away the short sword in his hand, stood in the center of the arena, raised his head and asked loudly, "Okay?" ”

"Very well, messenger, you have my approval."

With the voice of the ancient god, the illusion of the arena began to disappear, and Lin Chi's body also changed back to the appearance of a walking corpse, returning to the center of the old Sodom City, appearing next to the high platform destroyed by the heavenly fire.

Lin Chi was looking around with a bewildered expression, only to see that the black qi shrouded in the center of the city began to dissipate, and the ancient god's inquiry voice began to become weaker and weaker:

"Tell me, messenger, what do you want?"

For Lin Chi, it was more troublesome to answer this question than to let him fight the boss, and he said slowly: "I don't have any wishes, I just want to fight side by side with you." ”

"Don't lie." The Old God's voice turned into a deep whisper, "Tell me what you really think. ”

- If you tell this guy that he's interested in AI, the old gods probably won't be able to understand it. If you simply want to collect followers, maybe you will be killed directly by the ancient gods. Then the next way to answer should be......

"I want to explore the world." Lin Chi said seriously: "I like this cruel, barbaric, and war-ridden world, and I want to continue to walk and see all the wars in the world." ”

"Are you a battle maniac?" The Old God's voice was tinged with anger.

"No, I'm just adventurous." Lin Chi shook his head: "My strength is still very weak, please help me." In exchange, I will continue to give you my strength. ”

“……”

As soon as these words came out, the old gods temporarily entered a state of silence.

Since he didn't know much about the preferences of the ancient gods, his answer was actually risky, Lin Chi knew that he might lose the favor of this god at any time, and might even be killed by the ancient gods. But what he just said is indeed what he really thinks:

The virtual world is more of an appetite for him than the boring reality. Traveling in the virtual world is also Lin Chi's hobby.

“……”

The icy silence continued, and the ancient idol vanished completely, making no sound.

The old Sodom City in front of Lin Chi began to slowly lose its color, just like when he first arrived, and once again turned into a dark world composed of black, white and gray.

The city in front of him began to disappear, Lin Chi's body began to become transparent, a gust of wind blew, he seemed to have been punched hard, his eyes were dark, and when his vision was frozen again, he found himself outside another "Sodom City".

The full moon hanging overhead casts a bright moonlight. Looking at the bushes around him and the winding forest path, Lin Chi immediately realized that he had been thrown back into the "afterimage of the abyss", and returned to the road near the execution ground when he entered the game.

But this time, he wasn't alone.

"Woo ......"

A familiar female voice sounded behind him, Lin Chi turned his head, and stumbled over the forest path with a touch of white, crashing into him.

"Ah...... Where am I? ”

Mo Liya stretched out her hand and pressed Lin Chi's chest, raised her head and saw the face of the "Messenger Master", and a happy smile immediately appeared on the pale face of the Holy Maiden:

"You...... Still alive? ”

"If the walking corpse were alive, I would probably live for a long time." Lin Chi looked down at the walking corpse body that he had returned to its intact state, and checked his backpack and skill bar, the equipment and skills he had previously held appeared in it intact.

It seems that before sending himself out of that space in the old Sodom City, the old god also repaired his body by the way. At the same time, there was also Moria, who entered that world with herself.

So, that boss battle should be over, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi turned around and walked along the path towards the execution ground, and Mo Liya followed.

The statue of Mephistopheles, which originally stood on the execution ground, seemed to have been weathered, turning into an unrecognizable stone form.

Despite the vanishing outline, Moria recognized at a glance what the "stone" was, and she blinked vigorously, reached out to stroke the rubble, and whispered a prayer for the gods who had disappeared from this world:

"Good luck, Master Mephistopheles......"

"Don't be sad, he's just awakened." Lin Chi patted Moleya's shoulder.

"I know......" Moriah muttered quietly.

Once a saint of the Mephistopheles, she knew that she would probably never see Mephistopheles again. But even if the god is gone, Moria will never forget the other party's saving grace.

"I chose the ...... as well their own path. Moria clenched her fists.

Like Mephistopheles, she chose the option of freedom. The difference is that she doesn't plan to go on a journey alone, but finds a new companion.

Mo Liya turned sideways, looking at the lazy appearance of the walking corpse beside her, she reached out and grabbed Lin Chi's sleeve, lowered her head and asked:

"Lord Courier, I know I have deceived you. I beg your pardon me if you can, I still want to be with you...... See more of the scenery. ”

After saying this, Mo Liya lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lin Chi's eyes, playing with her fingers nervously, and her heart was also unusually worried.

She thought that Lin Chi would think about it, but the other party's reply came unusually fast, Lin Chi nodded almost without hesitation, smiled at Mo Liya, and said:

"Come on, I'm worried about not having a travel companion."

——The opportunity to recruit hero-level NPCs, Lin Chi naturally couldn't miss it. Even if she loses the power given by Mephistopheles, Moria, who is a vampire, can still come in handy.

Although there are many weaknesses, the advantage of the Bloodlines in battle is also very obvious: in other maps, most people are probably not wary of vampires. And when faced with enemies without sacred weapons, the Bloodline can almost be called invincible.

"Thank you ......"

Mo Liya stretched out her right hand wearing a skull ring, held Lin Chi's hand and waved it vigorously, as if she was reaching some kind of "blood contract".

After completing the recruitment of this NPC, Lin Chi took out the observer's contract, only to see that the text on it was unusually concise, with only four words: "Touch the altar".

Lin Chi stood in front of Mephistopheles' weathered altar, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone, and the ancient whisper seemed to sound from his body, shaking his internal organs:

"The pact is made, build an altar for me, and I will curse your enemies."

Before Lin Chi could answer, his left hand suddenly sank, and a black circular coat of arms appeared in the palm of his hand.

The shell of the coat of arms is painted with curved lines, like the tentacles of an octopus, and when you get the equipment, the item description immediately pops up:

Coat of arms of the Old Gods:

Special items, summoning items.

Item Class: Unknown.

In the available maps, use this coat of arms to invoke the ancient gods, follow the instructions of the ancient gods to build an altar, and your enemies will suffer a curse.

"Don't anger an ancient being, or the consequences will be dire. Anyone who tries to touch forbidden knowledge will have their bones rot on the bloody path. ”

- So, this is the "leader-level retinue" recruited this time?

Realizing that he had completed the task on the contract, Lin Chi weighed the coat of arms in his hand and stuffed it into his backpack before Molya asked.

He had thought that this time, the leader-level retinue would follow him in human form, just like Jane. Now it seems that the situation is obviously a bit special, and he did not recruit the ancient gods, but obtained a "communication device" of the ancient gods.

By erecting an altar to an ancient god, you can harness the power of that god to cast a deadly curse on your enemies. Judging by the extent to which the demon kings of Sodom City have been weakened, the curse of the old gods is definitely outstanding.

However, Lin Chi still has a lot of questions about this "entourage":

What is the true name of this ancient god? Can you be cursed, is it a player or an NPC in the game? And what is the Crimson Book that you obtained?

This map about the afterimage of the Abyss. There are still many mysteries that remain unsolved. But just like the "Dark Sword" that liberated the power in other maps, the secrets of the Old Gods may also be revealed in the course of the game.

So, the next thing to do is to get out of here and complete the final battle of the game:

At this time, the remaining players in this game, including Lin Chi, were only three left, he opened the map and looked at it, only to see that the locations of the three players, including himself, were displayed on the map in the form of red dots.

Now that the recruitment has been completed, there is no need to continue to spend it here.

He was about to turn around and leave, when a few lines of text suddenly popped up in front of him:

The boss battle "Old Sodom" has ended, and it took one hour, three minutes and twenty seconds.

Congratulations to the player "Reverse Current" for completing the first kill of this boss and breaking the record for the fastest kill of this boss! You have earned the achievement "Dreadbringer!" ”
