"Borrow a knife!"

Jack's voice rang out, and then Luthor's eyes went black and he fainted.

At this moment, the Spider King seemed to notice that the little cold light on the tip of the sword heart in Jack's hand made it afraid, and his body turned to the depths of the night to flee.

"How could it be so easy for you to escape?"

Jack half-squatted, his right hand backhand pulled out the sword heart, and the moment his heel made contact with the ground, a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly exploded on the ground.

The surface of the body glows red, and the temperature around the body rises little by little.

It's like the high heat emitted when using a greatsword.

Turning into a red shadow, he rushed towards the Spider King.

When the Spider King heard the strange noise, he paused, only to find a red shadow approaching quickly, and his mouthparts were closing one by one and making a gurgling sound.

It seems that he wants to beg for mercy in this way, but he does not get the slightest mercy.

Laugh at!

Laugh at!

The scorching heat slashed across Spider-King's body

In an instant, the Spider King turned to charred ash.

In the distance, Leon only saw a flash of red light, and Jack sliced through the body of the Ghostback Tarantula Spider King like a red electric current, making a sound of air rubbing.

The dust raised by the heat cleared, and Jack was half-kneeling on the ground with a knife and panting.

The white shirt turned into strips of cloth and flew in the wind during the battle just now, brushing his loose hair, and smiling self-deprecatingly.

Let Luthor see it, and he will definitely say, "Isn't this Chidori?" ””

Leon walked in with Luthor on his back, frowning.

"You have used the power of the "Fragments" without authorization to exceed the agreement! Are you responsible if it causes him to fail to fuse with the fragments? ”

"He's fainted, he should be fine, right?"

Jack scratched his head, tore off a corner of his shirt, and wiped Kenshin clean.

"An agreement is an agreement, and you are violating the law!"

Leon's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he looked at Jack indifferently.

"We said at the time that the world was built for him, and since he lost consciousness, it shouldn't be considered a violation."

Leon's brows furrowed, his expression indifferent.

"Don't take it as an example"

"Don't take it as an example!"

At this moment, Jack did not have the shadow of Luthor when he met him in the tavern, and Leon and Jack's conversation was as cold as a deal.

There seems to be a secret that Luthor doesn't know.

Of course

These things were impossible for Luthor, who was already unconscious, to know.

Leon snorted coldly and stopped dwelling.

Carrying Luthor on his back, he walked into the distance.

Jack returned to the clearing and picked up the greatsword, fastened it to his back, and as if sensing something, he glanced at the tower, which had been battered by the previous battle, the top roof was gone, and the rubble and dust fell on the tower.

It's an illusion

Jack shook his head, he was not feeling well at the moment with a burst of strength beyond the agreed power, and there were bursts of discomfort in his body.

Gotta go back!

Hurry up to catch up with Leon,.

Moments later, the figures of the three were drowned out in the night.

......

The dark clouds in the sky receded, and a hint of whiteness appeared on the horizon in the distance.

The stars loom in the darkness.

It seems to be the last time before dawn.

There was a vague sigh from the silent factory.

A red shadow floated above the ruins at the top of the tower, staring at the three who had left.

......

Two days later

Queen's Road, in the inn

Luthor felt a little itchy eyelids, and the moment he opened them, he was surrounded by such dazzling eyes.

After a moment, he regained his vision and found himself in the hotel he had been in, the room was empty, and he was about to sit up with a tearing sensation from his body, which made the corners of his mouth bitter.

I vaguely remember that I was knocked to the ground by the Spider King on the third floor of the tower.

Falling from a height of twenty meters was a great blessing for himself, and the pain from his body made him grin.

What about Jack and Leon?

Kenshin was on the table next to the bed, and his clothes and belongings were neatly placed aside.

Looks like it won in the end!

I just don't know who killed the Spider King!

While Luthor's mind was still wandering, the door to the room was opened.

Jack reverted to his green suit and approached Luthor with a wicked grin.

"Look, this is the bloodless hero who has woken up!"

"Bloodless?"

"Of course, it's a bloodless blade, and he was injured and fainted before he even touched the enemy, what is it that isn't a bloodless blade?"

Luthor grabbed the pillow at hand and flew over, where he was caught by Jack.

"You melon peel!"

Jack frowned slightly, but when he saw Luthor flying the pillow and tugging the affected area, he couldn't help but laugh at the moment.

"Your badge is for you!"

"With the badge in your hand, you can check the information here!"

Jack pointed to his eyes, and Luthor understood.

"Why are there spider swarms in the factory, and where do these monsters come from?"

From the first mission to kill the real murderer of the church, Luthor has a vague understanding of the game scene

But weird horrors, nightmares, and spider swarms

Why are they mixed in the same scene, and what is the connection between these and the final mission [Stopping the End of the Town]?

Will monsters like ghostback tarantulas flood into town?

Jack replied with a little thought

"The church case is the fuse, and the ghostback tarantula is just one of the many invading monsters!"

"There's more?"

Jack was noncommittal

"What other monsters?"

Luther asked, confused, but Jack stopped answering his question.

"Can you tell me what the hell is going on with this game? Why have I never seen anything like it? ”

Luther pointed his index finger at the ceiling and turned his head. I want to know the truth from Jack's mouth.

Jack glanced back at the closed door.

"This game.... Well..... How to say"

"The purpose is to select some elite talents through the game, I probably understand your situation, it's because of the game link, just wait for the game to end."

"That's all I know for the time being, and I don't know anything else."

Luthor stared into Jack's eyes, his eyes drifting around from time to time as he spoke, presumably he must have had a lot of unspoken words, which seemed to be somewhat restrictive. I don't know if someone was watching him or something else, but Luthor breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that some of his memories were lost during the game link, and that the game would return to normal when the game ended.

"You've been lying here for two days, you're lagging behind, eat this, recover, and come to the tavern to find me in the afternoon!"

Jack placed something like an energy bar on Luther's bed, nodded and left.

Luther sat up slowly, looking at what Jack had left behind.

A slender glass tube, like a large test tube used in school, is a yellowish, milky white liquid inside, and when the lid is opened, there is no smell.

Luther knew that Jack was not going to give him a bottle of poison, and frowned and poured it down his throat.

Like milk, with a faint sweetness.

"I don't feel anything..."

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes were black and he fell on the bed again.

When he woke up again, it was already afternoon, and Luthor got out of bed and felt his vision clear. I shook my head, felt my head become clear, and opened the bathroom door, but I didn't know if my strength had increased.

The doorknob of the bathroom was pulled off by itself.

This?

Luthor suddenly realized that there was no pain in his body, and that the injuries he had suffered before were already intact.

Strength seems to have grown, and the head has become nimble.

"Attributes!"

Loose black letters appear in the field of vision.

[Name: Luther]

[Race: Terran]

[Class: Trialist]

[Power: 16 (10)]

[Dexterity: 17 (10)]

[Wisdom: 24 (10)] [Normal adult years in parentheses]

[Combat Strength: 119]

[Trial-of-the-ground rankings: data unavailable]

3D properties improved by 10 points each?

Luthor clenched his fists, and the power from the heart of the fist told him that the strength had indeed grown.

Stand up, bend over and jump, head in close contact with the ceiling.

Both strength and agility have increased

The body has also become flexible

Shaking his head, the increase in wisdom attribute was not noticeable.

Could it be?

Is that the reason for the potion?

If you drink a few more bottles, wouldn't it...

Hey...

Glancing at the sky, Luthor prepares to go to the tavern to find Jack.

......

Queen Street

Agni Bar

Luthor pushed open the door to the bar and saw Leon dressed as a waiter again, arranging the rows of wine glasses.

"Leon, where's Jack?"

Leon turned his head and smiled at Luther, pointing to the basement.

"I'll have you a drink later!"

Leon paused when he heard this, and a slight arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and after a moment he returned to indifference.

Passing the spiral staircase, Luthor stroked the warm handle of the escalator, thinking that if this thing were put in reality, it would be estimated that it would be no less than a million.

Everything in the game world is so realistic, if it weren't for the fact that Luthor had already identified himself in this place from Jack's mouth, and let his discovery be made, Luthor would have thought he had crossed over.

"Jack, what potion did you give me? The effect is so good! Is there any, three or five more..."

"You're talking about...... The brain marrow of the Ghost Back Tarantula Spider King? ”

"Huh?"

"The brain marrow of the Ghost Back Tarantula Spider King, what do you think?"

Vomit~

Luther's throat felt dry in his eyes

The brain marrow of the Ghost Back Spider King!

I actually drank a tube myself!

Jack looked at Luthor with disgust.

"What do you think it is? Looking down on the brainbolt of the Devilback Spider King? This is a holy medicine that comprehensively changes the quality of the human body! ”

"I said earlier, I wouldn't have drunk it... Gott~"

"An adult ghost-backed tarantula spider king can produce a tube of brain marrow, which can increase the overall quality of the body, you can return if you don't want it!"

Luthor stopped retching when he heard this, and laughed twice.

Originally, he didn't know what the potion tasted like, but when he thought of the green compound eyes of the Devil-backed Tarantula Spider King, Luthor's heart was furious.

For the sake of the face of its own attributes, I don't care about it........

"Have you checked the progress of the mission?"

Luthor slapped his head, and after losing his accessibility function in the game menu, he seemed to have become accustomed to not looking at it, and it turned out that the mission progress could still be viewed in the game menu.

The silent menu opens the properties panel.

[Name: Luther]

[Race: Terran]

[Power: 16 (10)]

[Dexterity: 17 (10)]

His combat effectiveness has improved a lot, and it seems that he has killed no less than 30 little tarantulas scattered, and it seems that each of them has increased his combat power by 2 points.

Click on the message in the upper right corner of the field of view and find the task progress item.

[Current Quest Progress: 6.92%]

6.92%?

I killed so many tarantulas, and the three of them worked together to wipe out an entire nest of tarantulas, and they only added more than 3 points of progress, think about how terrifying the hidden characters behind them are.

Luthor shuddered. Look up and ask Jack.

"Let me see how others are doing."

Jack pushed the notebook to Luther. Luthor opened the page of the record.

"This mission will end soon, tonight I will take you to finish the follow-up of the last nightmare, if you have any questions on the way, now go clean up, and gather at the door of the tavern when the sun sets!"

Jack spoke quickly, glancing at him from time to time.

With that, he turned and left.

Before Luthor could open his mouth, Jack had already ordered the eviction.

When he walked out of the tavern, he saw Leon's busy appearance, and he felt irritated for no reason.

Kick a pebble near your feet.

I always feel that the atmosphere between Jack and Leon is very delicate, just now Jack's hurried appearance and looking around the hotel gave Luthor the feeling that he was on the lookout for Leon to appear, Leon should be a novice instructor NPC, why is Jack, who is also a player, so cautious.

Luthor wondered.
