Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Trial of the Lamp

The final trial, the trial of the blade?

Morning Apocalypse was stunned, according to the hint of the Lady of the Mist, only the person with the light can break this trial.

He pressed the doubt in his mind and looked at the text.

[The black fog poured out all around, and you held the long knife of the debtor and looked at the stone statue of the city lord in front of you.

The Stone Statue of the Lord of the Misty City, armed with a stone knife, keeps coming towards you! 】

[The Lord of the Misty City will tell you the goal of the final trial,

There is only one goal in this trial: to defeat him!

In the Lightless Lands, victory can only be achieved by facing fear! 】

Morning Dawn looked at the text.

Trial of the Blade, this should be the long knife from before.

Morning Apocalypse tap on the Duel Saber in Misty City, tap on equipment!

[Looking at the saber at your waist, the stone statue of the Lord of the Misty City tilted its head, as if it evoked some memory.

In the city of the Mist, there is an ancient duel in which each side holds a rusty knife, and no magic is allowed to be used, and the battle is fought until one side admits defeat.

The Lord of the Misty City takes on your challenge, and he raises his stone sword, willing to engage you in a white-knuckle fight. 】

Morning Apocalypse looked at the text, this dueling knife could allow the stone statue of the Lord of the Misty City to enter a white-knuckle battle with him without using a spell.

[The Lord of Misty City holds a stone moss long knife, waiting for your move!]

The final trial, begin! 】

A bright red text jumps out, and the entire screen is surrounded by black fog.

Even through the screen, he could feel the silent oppression of the Lord of the Misty City in front of him.

[The Lord of the Misty City holds the long knife and waits for you to draw it.]

You find your chance and stab it with one sword!

With the skill of the Bloody Blade Meal, you fight with it ten times in a row! 】

[The skill of the blade is qualified.] The Lord of Mist City said slowly.

Suddenly, at the moment of your bayonet, a sharp wound appeared in your arm! Blood splattered!

In the blink of an eye, the Lord of the Misty City has come behind you, slashing through your back, cutting a stark wound that shatters along with the blade stone on your back!

You're in a state of severe bleeding and you're losing your health! 】

Chen Qi looked at the text, and in an instant, two texts jumped out, and his HP dropped to 50%!

He subconsciously held his right shoulder, and a tingling sensation came from his body.

This is a real monster, a monster who has returned from the Land of Light, and in front of the monster in front of him, he can't even hurt the other party with a single knife!

Now, with the exception of the Shelter Lamp, all of the Lady Mist's items are used.

Morning Apocalypse took a deep breath, trying to recover from the pain as much as he could, and looked at the text.

[Blood splatters out, and the Lord of the Misty City slashes through your right arm like a basic lightning bolt.]

A terrible wound was cut on your right arm by a stone knife, and your chest was cut off by a stone knife!

In the midst of the blazing pain of flesh and blood, you still hold on to your long knife, fending off the opponent's attacks as much as possible. 】

[He said slowly, the real trial has just begun! 】

With this series of texts, Chen Qi couldn't help but be stunned and clenched his teeth.

[Your HP is reduced to 25%, and your life is like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished with a gentle blow.] 】

Now he only has 25% of his blood left!

According to the previous text, as long as he resists a blow of the same intensity, he will die!

And in the next moment, a shocking text jumped out again.

[The Lord of Misty City slashes out like the wind, the tendons of your feet are injured, and your HP decreases.

You half-crouch on the ground, looking at the cold stone statue in front of you, he slowly walks in front of you.

His petrified face looks at you, but he doesn't deliver the final stab. 】

[The stone statue of the Lord of the Misty City puts the knife in front of you, and the stone face grins.]

You are on the verge of death.

Like a rookie veteran, the Lord of the Misty City grinned as he pointed his long knife at the entrance, signaling that you could leave here. 】

[The advocate of Misty City opened his hands, he was once an imposter hero, and he would not kill anyone for no reason.

He'll give you a chance, a chance to live. 】

"When you look at this place of trial, there is not a single corpse. 】

There were no corpses, and Lady Mist survived the trial.

Chen Qi bit his finger, maybe as he said, even if he didn't pass the trial, he could survive.

[In your eyes, you feel that the Lord of the Misty City has turned into hundreds of taunting people, and says to you:

"Run, weakling." 】

【Wanderer, please make your choice, whether to leave here?】 】

Chen Qi looked at this important option in front of him, and at the moment he didn't have a prophetic dream to help him.

But the previous text shows that only by defeating this gargoyle monster can you pass the trial!

And the Lamp of Shelter isn't used yet!

According to the previous text, there should also be a special way to defeat the Stone Statue of the Lord of the Misty City.

Some details told him that the Lord of the Misty City, like the other stone statues, had other ways to defeat it, only more difficult.

Chen Qi hesitated for a moment, his fingers trembled, and finally chose to refuse!

Black text jumps out one after another!

[You look at the Lord of the Misty City in front of you, and the blood leaves from your body, forming a pool of blood.

Hearing your answer, the stone statue of the Lord of the Misty City shook its head.

You will face real fear!

From behind the stone statue of the Lord of the Misty City, a steady stream of black mist began to emerge. 】

[The black mist is haunted by evil spirits, gradually covering your body.

In the pool of blood, images of the gutter continue to emerge in your eyes, and some fog keeps rising from your shoulders. 】

His in-game character is in terrible condition!

Chen Qi looked at the text, and in an instant, his spirit value was deducted by 5 points!

[In the black mist,

You see the horrific calamity that dominates the skies in the lightless lands, destroying city after city like an ant.

You return to the Nightwatchman's small, multi-person room, and the blades on your body are faintly attacking, painful and unwilling. 】

Morning Qi looked at the texts, and for some reason, his hands were becoming stiff.

A text he had never seen before covered the entire figure in an instant.

[The reflection of the black mist from the lightless land that faintly penetrates your soul.

See, your soul, the distant calamity, with that faint connection, touches your very being!

Please stay awake! 】

What does this mean, what kind of attack is this!

Suddenly, the text on the screen froze.

Chen Qi was stunned, and from his neck, some black mist appeared, like a shadow beast looking at him.

The black mist enveloped him in an instant.

Why is this happening!

He was stunned, he didn't expect that the content of this trial could affect his own body!

"Stay awake."

He clasped his hand on his face, slowly opened his face, and in the black mist, he saw his young self and saw many familiar faces.

I saw myself in a daze at the school gate, watching the gentle parents pick up their precious children.

In the black mist, he saw the table mate he had a crush on, and in the end, he didn't do anything because of his ordinariness.

I saw the exam where I failed even though I tried my best, and I collapsed on the bed alone.

Chen Qi looked at these former pictures and was speechless for a while.

He dug his nails into the flesh on his forehead, using the pain to keep himself calm.

What is the origin of this black fog, it can not only affect the game character, but also himself.

He exhaled, the memories were so real, so sad that he felt sorrowful, but it had nothing to do with the present!

For now, at least, he had to find a way instead of drowning in these sad memories!

The black fog slowly dissipated, and the black fog itself seemed to be an illusion.

Morning Apocalypse exhaled and continued to look at the game!

Even the slightest chance of passing the trial was worth his all.

【Light Trigger!】

You come back to your senses and look under your feet.

At this moment, lured by the black fog, you have come to the entrance.

And the Lord of the Misty City, with a stone knife in hand, is waiting for you to leave here. 】

After shaking off the black fog, Morning Apocalypse looked decisively at the text in the game.

[Black fog erodes around you.] 】

【Light Trigger!】

A glimmer of light appears from the Lamp of Shelter in your backpack, shielding you from the dark mist that comes from the Lightless Lands, fed by the Lord of the Misty City himself. 】

[This light provides you with the last trace of guidance, allowing you to come back to your senses from this black fog.]

You look around, and in the billowing black mist, there is only a glimmer of fire still burning on the throne! 】

[The billowing black fog has covered you. 】

A piece of text jumps out.

[You look at the flame, and the flame appears in the darkness with the breath of life.

You hold the long knife again. 】

Morning Apocalypse looked at the flame in amazement.

[The Misty City Lord's Life Embers, HP: 1/1.] 】
