Chapter 327
"Haha! I'm alive again! Although I don't know what happened, I will make you pay the price!" Thirty seconds later, the Headless Knight, an undead, was resurrected once more.
"Let this moonlight Transcendent Flash!"
"Heavenly Cave Illusion, Long Dream Awakening!"
"We invite you all to enjoy this beautiful scenery together!"
"The Up and Down Yi, and they are one with each other!"
"..." Xing looked at the Headless Knight, who was in perfect condition, and didn't know where to start.
This combination is the complete opposite of the previous one!
The previous combination had too much attack overflow, while this combination has no attack at all.
Sigh, you ask why there was no attack?
"Phew... You three are not allowed to attend the music party! Settle your personal grudges yourselves!"
Chen Li kicked Jingliu, Dan Heng, and Silver Wolf aside.
Silver Wolf used his real-world editing abilities to transmit Blade's ultimate move from the other side of the video to this side via the red envelope system.
However, as soon as Blade's ultimate move appeared, it locked onto Dan Heng. When Dan Heng saw the attack coming, he tried to stop, but his attack flew towards Jingliu Liu. After sensing the Killing Intent, Jingliu Liu turned his sword tip and attacked Silver Wolf and Dan Heng.
Fu Xuan instantly activated his divine eye and cast the Array of Universal Observation on everyone, guiding the three attacks together and neutralizing them all. However, this also prevented him from dealing with the Headless Knight.
Four Xianzhou natives can't even deal [1] point of damage!
"Fu Xuan, thanks to you." Chen Li patted Fu Xuan's head.
"Don't be rude to me! But it's really thanks to me. The Xianzhou has three defenses: fire prevention, theft prevention, and teammate prevention!" Fu Xuan sighed.
"It's never too late to get good cards, Great Augur, I'm here to help you!" Qingque jumped out.
The third group of group members has arrived!
"Let the Tyrant of the Heavens witness the shattering of stars! To Survival or Destruction, you have no choice!"
"Damn it, Otto! Is that something you should be saying? Put down the Star of Eden in your hand! I'll make you put it down! You have no idea how heavy this power is!"
"The Karma Wheel!"
"Gah!" The Headless Knight remained unharmed, because all the attacks hit the Friends Circle shield, causing the Friends Circle shield to light up once, which also represented the sacrifice of one of Chen Li's friends.
But Chen Li knew that Su had no choice. If he didn't redirect all the attacks to the Friends Circle shield, one of Otto and Welt would die on the spot.
"..." Chen Li squatted on the ground in pain, covering his forehead.
This team battle taught Chen Li a lesson: these group members, each with their own grudges, are like stars scattered across the sky when scattered, but when they come together...
Chen Li always felt that the one with the Stupidity Halo was not their side, but the enemy.
During the time Chen Li gave up thinking, the chaos continued, but the progress in capturing the Headless Knight remained unchanged. On the contrary, many of the grudges between the group members were resolved.
Perhaps inspired by their predecessors, people continue to seek revenge for their grievances and vengeance.
Like Silver Wolf ambushing Chen Li, Sirin teasing Little Herta, Durandal ambushing Otto, Welt ambushing Otto, Murata Himeko ambushing Otto, Himeko ambushing Otto, Welt ambushing Otto again, Theresa ambushing Otto, Cecilia ambushing Otto, Kiana ambushing Otto...
Unbeknownst to him, Otto had become the one who took the most damage, but none of the damage came from the enemy.
The only one that relentlessly focuses on attacking the Headless Knight is the Astral Express.
Pom-Pom was heartbroken as she watched the Astral Express gradually deteriorate under the constant attacks, but Pom-Pom knew that this was a necessary sacrifice to restore the Astral Express's glory.
As long as the Astral Express continues to be damaged, repaired, and its passenger capacity continues to increase, sooner or later the number of Astral Express carriages will be able to return to its former glory!
As for Chen Li... he had no intention of explaining right or wrong, he just kept kicking his friends out of the music party to catch cabbages and get the professional registration fees.
It wasn't until Otto went through countless trials and tribulations, and the Headless Knight was battered and bruised by the Astral Express, was finally captured by Star using Poké Ball.
After losing its target, the Astral Express slowly came to a stop and finally rested quietly on the grass not far from the starting town of Axel.
"Phew... That was really tough." Eden breathed a sigh of relief after recording all the group members' attacks/ultimate moves with Echo.
"Phew... that was really tough." Xing breathed a sigh of relief after finally subduing the Headless Knight.
"Phew... This was really tough." Vill-V breathed a sigh of relief after repairing Otto's Soul Steel body for what felt like the umpteenth time.
That's the advantage of having Soul Steel body; if materials are lacking, its size can be reduced.
Every creature is endearing when it is young, Otto was no exception. Little Otto was indeed quite handsome, but it seems that no one would hesitate to touch him for that reason.
"Okay, let's take a look at the team's contribution statistics for this battle!"
Chen Li took out the Miracle Card [Game Life].
In order to clearly monitor the Headless Knight's health and better help Xing capture the spirit, Chen Li started the Game Life from the beginning and started the boss battle.
That's why the players take the stage in groups of four.
Because 4 people is a full squad.
At the top of the contribution list is undoubtedly Astral Express, who constantly whips the Headless Knight like a spinning top. Rating: 13.0. Second place goes to Pardo, who is responsible for throwing the Headless Knight over her Overhead Toss every time he revives. Rating: 8.0. Third place is Kevin, who killed the Headless Knight once. Rating: 5.8.
Fourth on the list is Star, who captured the Headless Knight. Rating: 3.0
Fifth place is occupied by everyone else except these three. Rating: 0.0–0.5
Otto ranked sixth. Rating: -13.0
"..."
Yes, my friend, apart from Kevin and the Astral Express, everyone else did virtually no damage or influence on the Headless Knight.
Either the effort exerted was too great, but the target of the attack was an ally, or the effort exerted was too small, and it could not cause any damage to the Headless Knight.
If the total damage suffered by everyone in this game amounts to one bushel, then Otto would have eight bushels, the Headless Knight one bushel, and the others one bushel in total.
Therefore, Otto received the lowest score.
"Everyone has raised enough for the registration fee, right? Let's go register," Chen Li said with a sigh.
Let's choose a place without Otto next time to have a party.
"Otto, you..." Chen Li patted Otto's shoulder, about to say something but then suddenly shut his mouth.
"What's wrong?"
"Um... Otto, do you still want this Soul Steel body?"
"Why do you say that? This body has shrunk so much, of course we need to go back and get a new one. If you're interested, I'll give it to you."
"...good!"
But then again... Chen Li suddenly changed his mind when he saw the [Taunt Follower] attribute on Otto.
There's nothing wrong with bringing Otto along.
Now we not only have the entry, but also the shape of the Miraculous Item, and even the material for the Miraculous Item Embryo (Soul Steel).
"Otto, you must protect your body. Here, take this! You really can't die again, or we won't have enough materials! And you won't be able to continue this journey." Chen Li handed the Revival Match body to Otto.
"Thank you, my friend. A friend in need is a friend indeed. What Welt did has truly saddened me." Otto assumed Chen Li meant that the Soul Steel materials needed to repair his body would become insufficient, so he gladly accepted the Revival Match card.
"Hey, we're practically brothers, aren't we?"
I just hope you won't cry out in pain when you're being burned.
"Are these your two new companions? They look quite... well, quite pretty girls." Upon arriving in town and seeing Satou Kazuma leading three beautiful girls to greet him, Chen Li offered his blessings to Satou Kazuma's "ordeal."
One was a blonde, blue-eyed, tall and voluptuous female knight who, at first glance, appeared quite feminine and cold.
One is a short-haired, flat-chested loli with red eyes and a cute face, possessing smooth black hair and a lovely appearance.
Satou Kazuma blessed!
"Did you get fooled by those two too? One is a high-level mage who puts all his Skill Points into Explosion Magic, causing him to run out of mana every time he uses one Explosion Magic a day, with a one-day cooldown after each use. The other is a melee attacker who can't hit any target at all, and he's also a Cross Knight... Friend, now we can only rely on you." Satou Kazuma looked at Chen Li with expectant eyes.
"Hey, what are you going to do, damn it?"
"I'm sorry, Chen Li, but my team only needs Aqua as a burden..." Satou Kazuma apologized to Chen Li first, then spoke loudly.
"What? Although recruiting new teammates requires your permission to distribute the Friends Circle Terminal, you can't be so heartless as to shut them out like this! Megumin, Darkness, I'm really sorry, although I think you two are both very reliable teammates, the power for Aqua and me to choose teammates is in the hands of this Miraculous Forger, so..." Satou Kazuma sighed helplessly.
"Ah, you're the Divine Emissary of the God of Wisdom, the amazing guy who created the super-high-quality equipment that gave the Goddess of Wisdom her halo!" Darkness walked over and looked at Chen Li in surprise.
"No... never mind, it's me." Chen Li didn't want to reveal his true identity in this world, because as long as he was associated with Satou Kazuma, Sato Satou Kazuma would definitely tarnish his identity Miraculous Forger.
But now that things have come to this, there's no point in hiding it anymore.
"You don't agree to us joining that Miraculous Item group that Kazuma mentioned?" Megumin walked over, Magic Wand in hand.
"No, I agree. Welcome to the Friends Circle." Chen Li distributed four Friends Circle Terminals to the two of them.
"Chen Li, didn't you say the requirements for joining the Friends Circle were very strict?!" Satou Kazuma's eyes widened.
Friend, have you betrayed me too?
"But I feel they are both outstanding. One is a high-ranking mage with super strong offensive power, and the other is Cross Knight with an indestructible defense... They perfectly complement the shortcomings of your team."
"But..."
"There are no 'buts' about it. Just accept reality. These two are your destined teammates."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, that's right. The fates of your squad have long been intertwined in places unseen." Aponia stepped forward and nodded.
Because she reclaimed the power within her Stand and fused with the butterfly that could Destruction the world, Aponia unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune, and could see the threads of fate even in another world.
"Okay, alright." Although Satou Kazuma had doubts about whether these two were the best teammates for him, as long as Chen Li agreed to let them join his Friends Circle, and helped them get their Exclusive Profession and Loot Module, their shortcomings should be made up for.
"What? I can have my own Exclusive Profession? I definitely have to choose Explosion Mage! Heavens, if I could become Explosion Mage, I would put all my Attribute Points into Explosion Magic!" After hearing Satou Kazuma briefly introduce the benefits of the Friends Circle feature, Megumin's eyes widened.
"???"
"If possible, I'd like to put all my Skill Points into defense, but I wonder if my Exclusive Profession can grant me a more sensitive body?" Darkness was troubled.
When Satou Kazuma discovered that the two women were not paying any attention to the super-attractive things like Miraculous Item and interdimensional travel, but instead were constantly reinforcing their own characteristics and had no intention of changing their shortcomings, Satou Kazuma was in despair.
"Chen Li, those two are truly my best teammates... Miraculous Forging? Do not disturb?" Kazuma was speechless as he watched Chen Li pull out blood-stained weapons and begin forging Miraculous Item on the street.
I dare not disturb you.
The bloodstains on those weapons were proof to Satou Kazuma that they were the real deal!
If you dare to disturb Chen Li's forging, be careful, Chen Li will let you experience how to use these weapons!
With this in mind, Satou Kazuma kept quiet.
Although Satou Kazuma wanted to say: Isn't it as absurd as a chef cooking in front of customers if Miraculous Forger is forging Miraculous Item on the street? Who would dare to use a Miraculous Item with so many terrifying elements added to it?! Isn't the person who uses this weapon afraid of having nightmares at night?
"I'm sorry, I was really too loud just now. Please lend me this Miraculous Item in a critical moment. With this Miraculous Item, I'm sure I can keep Aqua in check!" Upon learning that this Miraculous Item was God-Slaying Artifact Satou Kazuma immediately knelt down.
"Uh, get up quickly, stop clinging to my leg, I promise."
"Hahaha, that's it? God-Slaying Artifact? Kazuma, do you think such a tiny thing can subdue me? Do you really think that a small plastic knife that can't even cut a watermelon can defeat the mighty Goddess of Water?" Aqua looked disdainfully at the palm-sized knife in Chen Li's hand, which seemed to be made entirely of plastic.
What god would be afraid of such a small knife that looks like a radish knife?
"Really? Here, you can borrow it." Chen Li handed the plastic knife in his hand to Satou Kazuma.
"How do you use it?" Satou Kazuma immediately became interested.
"This Miraculous Item is called [God Must Die], and the method of its use is..." Chen Li whispered in Satou Kazuma's ear.
Satou Kazuma's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and then he gave Aqua a dangerous smile.
The next moment, Satou Kazuma's figure vanished instantly.
"Huh!" At the same time Aqua felt a poke in her back, but it didn't hurt.
In gaming terms, it only resulted in a slight loss of damage, although that's still quite significant.
Aqua turned her head and saw Satou Kazuma and blade.
"Kazuma, is this the power of this God-Slaying Artifact that's too weak, or is it that I, a god, am just too strong?" Aqua completely ignored Satou Kazuma and continuous attacks on her with the plastic knife.
However, for some reason, Aqua felt herself getting angrier and angrier.
"Alright, Kazuma, stop playing this boring game!"
"Hmm, Aqua, who are you talking to? By the way, is Chen Li's Slayer Miraculous Forging?" Tonghua came out after completing her job certification at the Adventurers' Guild.
