"Hiss... The person behind this who can openly command these orcs to attack you in the capital is probably not simple."
Two minutes later, the group moved to another location. Xiao You canceled her avatar and covered her head, saying...
Then switch to Qiqi's incarnation.
As a result, my headache was relieved considerably.
Fu Bufu said that they had tried to escape, and usually, as long as they were in the capital, they would retreat if their first attack failed.
So Qiqi didn't run too far with them.
Suppressing those orcs for two minutes consumed nearly fourteen million units of magic power.
Qiqi's head naturally hurts.
However, according to Qiqi's estimate, if this 14 million magic power is not used here to kill orcs, it can probably only kill one orc instantly, and will not be of any benefit to the subsequent battles.
Because after killing them, Qiqi herself would lose most of her fighting power due to headaches.
"Wow, Your Highness Su, you can turn into Qiqi too!" Fu Bufu said, his eyes sparkling.
"Tell me about the attack first..."
"Well, okay. Anyway, after I successfully got to Magri and met that fox, I've been attacked ever since, even though they know they can't kill me, they still do it with great enthusiasm."
Fu Bufu pointed to his companions behind him and said, "Although these uncles are not as high-ranking Your Highness Su, they are all very talented. However, even with their help, I still rarely survive these orc attacks."
In conclusion, he said, "I felt like they were trying to prevent me from completing the trial."
"Then it must be someone from the higher-ups of the Beastman Empire. Only they would know about the trial mission," Qiqi said after a moment's thought.
"Even if it's a high-ranking member of the orc race, or a prince or princess, we have no way of knowing who's behind it all."
"Why?"
"Because the Beastman Empire has more than five hundred princes and princesses."
Qiqi: "..."
Did the Beastman Empire have so many princes and princesses in its previous life?
I forgot about such a small thing.
Never mind.
These special missions are also contested by several lucky players, and the mission mechanics are similar to her Saintess mission.
Qiqi asked, "Where are your competitors for this mission?"
Fu Bufu shook his head and said, "Never seen it before."
All right.
"Let's go check out the trial dungeon first."
Kyoto, an island nation.
At Oshima Hideo's house.
"How well did the cover-up for the Okinawa incident go?"
"It's perfect. They definitely won't be able to figure it out. Most people die from heart failure," someone nearby replied.
Oshima Hideo snorted coldly and said, "So what if they know? What I'm afraid of now is who this Irina from the USA really is. If she publicly supports the USA government, our operations will be greatly hampered. And then there's Su from China..."
"We haven't found Irina's true identity yet, but we've discovered a bit about the true identity of the Chinese woman named [Su]; her name is Su Xi..."
"In that case, let's find a time to have Shimogi write her name down and see if we can use the power of the Grim Reaper to kill her. If Su Xi dies because of this, there's no need for Nakajima Ai to live."
"Yes!"
At the same time.
The USA secretly recalled soldiers from all over the world to its own country.
Now, wars in the Meta World are more important than wars waged for resource plunder.
The Okinawa incident clearly served as a wake-up call for the USA.
Of course, international condemnation is necessary, but no one echoed it; everyone was busy exploring the Meta World.
The bodies of the Okinawan soldiers were also taken back by the USA, and the island nation did not stop it.
The island nation was confident that their disguise on the corpses would not be discovered by the USA, but the USA had a player with the talent of [Image Rewind].
It was easy to see what their soldiers looked like before they died.
"Poison gas?" Kevin asked, looking at the images.
The expert in the white coat replied, "Yes, we suspect it's a toxic gas that can cause heart problems."
"This is really troublesome. These islanders are so restless." Kevin rubbed his temples, feeling quite troubled, and then asked, "Have you found out who Irina is? Also, have you sent out invitations to all the gaming clubs on the leaderboard?"
Another elderly man in a black butler's uniform respectfully said, "Irina is suspected to be a singer. We asked her, but she didn't give us an answer. As for the gaming clubs, they have all become major departments of various companies. If we want to send them invitations, we need their owners' consent."
"Shit!" Kevin angrily threw the pen on the ground.
He shouted, "A pack of despicable jackals!"
Then he instructed, "Forget about them, organize the army as soon as possible, enter the game to acquire talents, and level up to increase our strength. We can't afford to be too slow!"
"Yes."
We arrived in the suburbs.
Qiqi was just about to enter the underground dungeon entrance with them.
The system suddenly made a sound.
"System notification: You have been attacked by a curse."
"Ding, you have suffered a fatal injury."
Avatar mode canceled!
The skill [Rose Regeneration] is activated.
(Effect: After the wearer dies, they will be enveloped in roses and enter a bud state for 10 seconds. While in the bud state, anyone who attacks the bud will suffer thorn damage reflection (70% of the damage is reflected). If the bud is not destroyed within 10 seconds, the wearer will revive and recover 50% of their health.)
Holy crap, what the hell is that? It wiped out almost 60,000 of my health in one go!
A giant rose instantly enveloped Su Xi was completely bewildered before looking at the system's notification.
Has someone used Curse Kill me?
Fu Bufu looked on in bewilderment as His Your Highness Su was enveloped in a giant rose.
"Your Highness Su, what is this...?"
Because of her [Holy Tree Symbiosis] talent and ten Resurrection Coin, Kurumi wasn't worried. She simply crossed her arms and said, "Someone used special means to kill her instantly."
Fu Bufu looked shocked. "Your Highness Su so strong, how could you be instantly killed?"
"There are 7 billion humans in this world, who knows what strange talents they might draw?" Kurumi said without any surprise.
During their conversation.
The rosebuds disappeared, and Su Xi's health returned to 50%.
As soon as she came out, Su Xi said, "Someone used Curse Kill attack on me."
Fu Bufu asked, "Do you know who it is?"
Su Xi shook her head.
Then, the system issued another notification, and the Curse Kill attack struck again.
"Who on earth is Curse Kill..." Su Xi frowned.
Although the main body can reverse curses, Curse Kill and curses are not the same thing. This thing belongs to the witchcraft or death-type damage skills, which are different from status skills.
