Chapter 182
"Same to you."
Yuki wasn't good at talking, so he gestured to Hayasaka Ai behind him and immediately quickened his pace.
Two heavily armored warriors magnified in view, marching silently side by side, embodying the expectations of countless viewers.
Finish off the enemy and restore the sacred arena to normalcy.
The Bull Demon and the Reaper carried a sense of mission, as if a fire was burning in their chests, which became even more Incandescence due to the oppressive atmosphere.
There is no doubt that the enemy named Kevin is powerful, but warriors never retreat, and the fire of killing never goes out.
As the two sides drew closer, drawn by this sense of mission, the atmosphere began to shift. Many clenched their fists, never before so eager for one side to win.
Every deadly battle has winners and losers, but in the eyes of the audience, it is fair. Regardless of the outcome, they will be crazy about the clash of power and the spray of blood.
Killing needs no reason, but the process is mesmerizing. Who wouldn't want to watch a sharp blade slice through flesh, beheading an opponent amidst a gushing torrent of blood?
Beep--
Just as the atmosphere was about to reach its peak, the Night Domain unfolded, like a rising black curtain obscuring the view, and the cheers that had risen to their throats were once again choked back.
Damn, here we go again.
Within the domain, it was pitch black, Yuki stopped, letting out a slight sigh of relief.
Perhaps it was because the enemy's strength was finally comparable, but he suddenly felt a sense of epic scale just now, as a powerful warrior charged forward under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and a bloody clash was about to unfold.
He began to consider whether to present a killing spree to satisfy everyone's expectations. After a moment, he decisively activated his domain.
Vision was dim, with only a few flickering flames of the soul. The frenzied cheers were suppressed, and calm returned to the body.
"You can't hesitate for even a second, I almost fell for it again." Yuki grinned. This dungeon seemed simple and straightforward, but it was actually incredibly insidious.
For example, right now, killing oneself has become a kind of consensus, and those enthusiastic spectators didn't even utter a sound.
Sound localization is a basic skill, but not everyone has a spiritual vision. The noisier they are, the more advantageous Yuki becomes.
"Be careful, Hayasaka. This battle won't be easy. If things get really bad, you can leave the Night Domain and use the location function of the Spirit Particle Communicator."
"Clear."
The maid immediately replied that the Night Domain moved around Yuki as its center, and although 2,000 square meters seemed like a large area at first glance, its radius was only about thirty meters.
This distance is practically within arm's reach for Transcendental Grade beings.
"Also, the shooting action uses a fixed template, and the error cannot exceed 0.1 seconds. Is that possible?"
Hayasaka tilted his head slightly and immediately understood that Yuki needed to see things from a different perspective. The power of the Death Knell was different, but the speed of the bullets was constant.
"It's possible."
"I believe you." Yuki. Hayasaka Ai and he had the best teamwork, which was a skill that surpassed his usual abilities.
They've arrived.
Two crimson flames of Soul Flame leaped and surged violently from the front, crossing back and forth, almost overlapping each other, and the Demon Eye could not distinguish between them.
Who comes first and who comes last?
Yuki hesitated for a moment, then simply raised his hunting rifle.
Shotgun—Bang!
The souls formed a rain of bullets, covering a large area in front, but the two charging figures did not slow down, only making a crisp 'clang clang clang' sound.
We just toughed it out.
Yuki bent down, drew his long sword, the blood-red blade leaving a crimson afterimage in front of him, and then flicked his wrist.
Clang!
The blade was blocked, the overlapping soul fires separated, Reaper leaped from behind the Bull Demon, his twin swords spinning like a sharp top.
Bang!!
The Death Knell tolled in the distance, and heavy projectiles slammed into the sword's edge like hammers, knocking him back.
'Could that despicable archer see this?'
Her ears were ringing, and the Reaper raised an eyebrow. Of course, Hayasaka Ai couldn't see it; she was just shooting according to Yuki's instructions.
The magazine rotated, and the second bullet had already entered the chamber, but the trigger had not yet been pulled.
"Hide."
Upon hearing the voice from the Spirit Particle Communicator, she flew into the air without hesitation, only to hear a muffled thud as something crashed heavily onto the spot where she had just been standing.
A meteor hammer? Its ability to pinpoint sound locations is that accurate?
This was no quiet listening exercise; separated by dozens of meters, with the giant axe and long sword at the same time, the Bull Demon's strength was clearly several levels greater than Yuki's.
He threw the hammer with one hand and suppressed it with the other. When he felt the force in his hand suddenly relax, he was not nervous. Following his instinct, his huge body leaned back.
Bang!!
The shotgun fire sent the Heat through his face as the bullets grazed him. Yuki didn't care that he missed his shot; he already knew these soldiers had incredible intuition.
Demon Possession. (Expand)
Blood Blade.
The gray mist merged into the night, and soul energy filled the blade. After being released, it formed a blade of light more than ten meters long, which touched the long axe and then spread to both sides.
Swish--
The blade pierced through the area, leaving two long, thin marks on the left and right sides of the arena, even extending to the edge of the arena, causing the red light curtain to sway.
This was the first time an attack had spread beyond the 'Black Egg,' causing tens of thousands of viewers to hold their breath, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope.
Yuki didn't care what they thought; he only felt as if he had struck Ishigami with a sword, but the reef remained unmoved, letting the torrent wash over it.
Before he could strike a second time, another ball of crimson flame had already circled around from the side.
The Blood Reaper was extremely agile, rushing to Yuki's side in a single stride, and slashing down with two serrated longswords at the same time.
Without needing sword skills, just a frenzied barrage of slashes, Yuki felt the sharp wind and had no time to sheathe his sword and defend.
Reinforcement Magecraft.
The hunting rifle glowed with a deep blue light, and he simply used the sound of the gunfire to deflect the attack.
Ding ding ding ding...
Dense sparks flashed, and the emitted gray mist offered little protection; a stinging sensation continued to assault the senses.
There's something wrong with this spark.
The bursts of sparks were like tiny blades, splashing onto the body and giving a feeling of being slowly sliced to pieces, instantly turning half of the body into a bloody mess.
Now Yuki understands why he's called the 'Blood Reaper', and he also understands the two people's thoughts:
Despite the 2v2 format, they ignored Hayasaka Ai's more obvious weaknesses and focused all their energy on themselves, giving no chance to defeat them one by one or any openings for them to shoot.
With a clear objective and decisive actions, just as stated—
They just wanted to kill me!
Chapter Twelve: Calculations Accurate (First Update)
Without the influence of a frenzied atmosphere, Yuki maintained his composure without needing to Quiet Dew still.
Close-quarters combat should have been his forte, keeping players on their toes and often leading him to complain that they were too timid. But he never expected to get his wish in this dungeon.
The warriors were all melee experts; the Bull Demon was heavy and tough, Reaper was fast and agile. Coupled with the Lingchi Sparks technique, even Yuki was having a bit of a headache.
On my left side, there are hundreds of wounds. They are not only very painful, but they also cause a lot of blood loss. Fortunately, I am not fragile now.
"The Regenerative Tail."
Yuki decisively used his Bloodline skill, instantly healing all his wounds, and at the same time, his shotgun was reloaded.
He twirled his gun and unleashed a burst of shotgun blasts in front of him.
Bang! Bang!
Thousands of projectiles were fired, and even though the Reaper wielded his twin swords with impenetrable precision, more than a dozen blood flowers still bloomed on his body.
He grunted, sheathed his sword, and retreated. Yuki, who was chasing after him, was blocked by the Bull Demon and quickly jumped up on the spot.
Swish--
The giant axe grazed past his feet. Yuki put away his hunting rifle, gripped his knife with both hands, and chopped down with all his might.
Blood Slash!
The longsword seemed to have expanded a hundredfold, embedding itself in the axe blade, and the sparks it emitted illuminated the night.
The Bull Demon raised his axe in his right hand to block, and swung his meteor hammer in his left. The Reaper appeared from the side, ready to follow up with the meteor hammer and suppress the Bull Demon with a barrage of slashes.
"You guys have great teamwork, but have you forgotten that this is two against two?"
Hayasaka Ai had somehow flown above the three of them, and in the fleeting flash of light, the Death Knell tolled.
Bang!
The gunshot was deafening. The shot struck the Bull Demon's shoulder precisely, shattering his armor and forcing him to his knees. His flail, which he had swung, flew off into the distance.
It's exaggeratedly harsh.
Yuki's eyes twitched; even he didn't dare to take Death Knell's bullet head-on, and these two reacted extremely quickly.
Within fractions of a second of the next bullet being loaded into the magazine, the Reaper had already jumped on top of his teammate, his swords crossed, ready to take the hit head-on. The next moment, the gunshot was indeed clear, but only a weak, powerless spark remained.
Death Knell only had six bullets, and with Mai Sakurajima not around, Hayasaka Ai wouldn't waste them, but she still took a deep breath.
Even in normal mode, Death Knell bullets are enough to penetrate two walls, yet these soldiers didn't even flinch.
Bang bang bang bang.
The maid frantically pulled the trigger; since ammo was unlimited in normal mode, she practically turned her revolver into a Gatling gun. Under the cover of fire, Yuki finally fell back to the ground from mid-air.
This is tricky. One is a speed-based strategy, the other a power-based strategy. Which one should we tackle first?
Without him even needing to choose, the Reaper charged straight at him, wielding his twin swords as he ran. But after only a few steps, he saw a crescent-shaped arc of light coming straight at him.
Without stopping, the Reaper continued wielding his twin swords, only this time the two swords were clashing wildly against each other, somewhat like trying to start a fire by rubbing sticks together.
The serrated edges of the twin swords rubbed together, creating sparks that grew increasingly dazzling, finally bursting forth completely before him.
The Killing Flower.
A giant crimson flower bloomed and collided with the sword light. The two energies intertwined, squeezed, and exploded, finally bursting apart with a loud 'boom'.
Thousands of tiny blades shot out, indiscriminately covering most of the Night Domain, causing Hayasaka Ai to dodge quickly and halt Yuki's charge.
Suicide attack?
Yuki frowned. The Reaper was so close; wouldn't it take the brunt of his ultimate attack? But the burst of soul energy was too much, interfering with his vision. He could only see the Bull Demon spinning in the distance with his naked eye.
The chains of the meteor hammer wrapped around his body like ribbons, and then in an instant—
Grass.
A giant meteor hammer, over ten meters in diameter, shot out, its accompanying storm carving a deep groove in the ground. There was no time to dodge, Yuki raised his spear and fired.
Bang!
The Soul Bullet struck the meteor hammer, slightly altering its trajectory. Yuki the opportunity to sidestep and saw the enormous object hurtle past him.
His ability is to enlarge weapons?
Yuki remembered that the Bull Demon used a giant hammer last time, which was obviously different from what he saw now. Before he could think further, the chain in front of him, which was at least a meter thick, was already taut.
Not good.
The warrior in the distance flicked his wrist, spinning his meteor hammer. This thing was like Death Windmill, whirring and covering everything within a hundred meters. Even outside the area, a meteor could be seen spinning.
"It's Death Meteor!"
"Hahaha, Bull Demon King is getting serious now."
"He's finally dead this time."
The atmosphere heated up again, Yuki really didn't dare to intercept it. If he just used his sword to block it, the meteor would definitely come back and smash him into a pulp.
The Reaper clearly knew this, lying prone on the ground like a blank sheet of paper, but Yuki could only jump, watching the chains swing back, and growling softly:
