Chapter 613
The waves broke apart, then rose again. Shiki Ryougi gritted her teeth, while Boros remained relaxed, scanning everything like a computer.
Boros was bombarded head-on by the Death Perception Domain, while a dense rain of arrows annihilated him from behind. In the distance, a woman was escorting 'Taiyi' forward, which made Boros reveal a bloodthirsty smile.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, Solomon has reached reinforcement range, Aatrox can escape within 30 seconds. Aizen and Uchiha Madara cannot stand idly by.
"Come on if you dare, or don't—"
"I'll kill them as a sacrifice to the flag!"
She straightened her chest and slammed down with both fists, shattering the Death Perception Domain head-on. This made Shiki Ryougi's face turn a little paler, but she did not retreat, nor could she.
The speed contest was crushed, the space was sealed off, and the authority was erased. The black vortex behind them could not be entered by anyone other than the Judge, while the hundreds of Judge stationed in the vortex had already rushed up.
Bite!
The hand slash aimed at his throat was deflected, and the golden armor shattered into pieces. Fortunately, the second attack that followed was slightly delayed.
Boros turned his attention to the top of his head. Elysia was already close by. As a combat expert, he would not underestimate any opponent, especially this pink-haired girl who was hiding her face.
Including the previous tests, 'True Self' Yingjie was weak and powerless. Apart from constantly shooting arrows, he was nothing like an Epic IV-rank player. This abnormality was a threat in itself.
But at this moment, 'Taiyi' disappeared in the distance. The movement of authority could not be stopped by any spatial rift and came straight to his side.
He raised his musket, which posed a greater and more direct threat than Elysia's drawn longbow.
Really? You want to kill me instantly?
Boros's heart sank, but he wasn't nervous. Solomon was already there, and Aatrox would be free in a few seconds. He was prepared; he wouldn't be so easily killed.
Conversely, if you can't defeat me in one hit, don't even think about leaving.
Even a cicada can turn the tables and become the predator. The Roar energy wave surged from within, swatting away Shiki Ryougi behind him and creating a spatial rift. Then, thunderous gunshots rang in his ears.
Bang!!
Death Knell's projectiles were blocked by the fault line, and no matter how powerful they were, they could not hit Boros, but the Star Lord was not pleased but alarmed.
"Is this fake?!"
The Fool's Mask can perfectly disguise an appearance, even transforming Death Knell into the shape of the Lord of Cinder Hand Cannon, but their attack patterns are completely different, and firing a shot will expose their true nature.
No, before the shot was fired, the threat emanating from Death Knell was no less than that from the Lord of Cinder Hand Cannon; this was a deception of Boros's intuition.
Are they deliberately sending themselves to their deaths? Their real targets are the other two groups.
Time seemed to freeze. Boros was somewhat confused by this operation. Solomon, the 'King of Magic,' had already appeared in the sky. Aatrox was about to break free. How could these people be a match for the three Grand Inquisitors? Until a dazzling pink light appeared.
"Didn't you want to find that child? Hurry up, or you'll miss it."
Elysia uttered nonsensical words, released the bowstring, and fired a pink arrow slowly. In terms of lethality, it was not as sharp as Kaguya's, and it couldn't even touch Boros's intuition.
He was bewildered as he watched the arrow pierce the fault line, only to be shattered into dust and turn into pink specks by his punch.
That's it??
Was this Epic Tier IV rating just for show? It has absolutely no offensive power.
Wrong!
The doubt lasted for a moment, then was immediately replaced by astonishment. He crushed a capsule, and a green light appeared on his body.
The level 6 item, the Reset Capsule, can reset one's physical condition, grant immunity to all negative effects, and even has a super-fast repair effect. But it's useless; His feet are uncontrollably moving backward, leaving the newly arrived Solomon completely bewildered.
Damn it, I came to your aid, and you just run away like that?
Boros truly 'deserted himself in the face of battle,' retreating directly into the black vortex without a shred of courage or shame in his escape.
Since this wasn't mind control or manipulation, resetting the capsule was useless. The dazed feeling of spatial teleportation came over him, and his one eye widened.
With a smile, Elysia, and Ryougi Shiki, Shiki Ryougi was filled with hatred upon meeting her enemy, had her authority flash. King Hassan, Mebius, the Demon Child, and other experts joined the battlefield, standing between the black vortex and the Judge. Like thunder awakening a flock of birds, countless players flew out from between the buildings and rushed towards the sky.
What's going on? Send me away so they can gather their forces and instantly kill Solomon and Aatrox? Isn't that even more difficult? Besides, I can go back to provide support in a few seconds.
A completely useless tactic, could it be --
In that instant, the fierce battlefield vanished from sight, and the desolate desert under the starry sky returned to view. This was His lair, the starting point of countless judgments, but the single eye in the middle of His forehead stared even wider.
In the desert, before the vortex, besides the dozens of Judge had retreated to rest, there was one more person.
Black hair, black clothes, Black Blade, and red eyes—in that instant, he understood why Elysia was an Epic IV-tier player.
Unleash your True Self, transcend the laws of causality to find the answers you crave, a truly unsolvable bug skill.
Wasn't he trying to find the true form of 'Taiyi'?
Swish.
The man who had been waiting for a long time swung his long sword, unleashing a terrifying and violent aura. This killing intent was like the Blood God of the Pantheon possessing him.
Taiyi is right before my eyes.
Chapter Twenty-One: Kill! Annihilate! Destroy!
Taiyi, are you with me?
Boros's head was buzzing; this situation was far too complex to be resolved in a short time.
You think Shiki Ryougi and the others are feigning an attack, but they are actually intercepting. You think they are intercepting, but they are only intercepting the other Judge. You think they are intercepting the other Judge, but they are actually creating a trap to kill!
The goal Yearning Dream for is right in front of me, but the problem is...
"Why am I facing the enemy alone!?"
This statement is biased. Dozens of Judge had withdrawn to rest had already assembled, but each of them was just as bewildered as Boros.
Wasn't Taiyi always running around like a rat? How did he suddenly launch a counterattack, and even directly retaliate into the Judgment Domain?
This was an absolute surprise, and Yuki had lost the will to speak.
[Conceptual Craft Essence: Khorne's Blessing]
Activation.
Kill! Annihilate! Destroy!
He forcibly eliminated all distracting thoughts; the complex and massive plan was no longer relevant to him. At this moment, only killing remained, and only killing existed.
[Bloodline Skill: Demon Possession]
He transformed into a winged demon covered in jet-black scales, the Epic Metamorphosis of his soul fire turning him purplish-red, and with a gentle flap of his wings.
Swish--
Demonwing stealthily charged into the ranks before the group of Judge could even form their battle lines. His Black Blade flashed, tearing up a mass of flesh. Khorne 'Demon Wings stacked up, and it was like a pot had exploded, causing the group to scatter in all directions.
Bang!
The shotgun blasted several people into mincemeat. These Judge were wounded soldiers who had been evacuated, and many of their defensive items were still on cooldown. When Yuki started killing, there was no way to organize any resistance, and they had to rely entirely on instinct.
The Judge, born from the world of cultivation, activated the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth. A hundred-meter-tall Giant stood on the desert. It raised its heavy Mountain-Breaker axe, and a blood-red afterimage rose up, heading straight for its face.
Splat
His enormous head exploded like a tomato, spraying blood that stained Yuki. He became even more fanatical and violent, and upon noticing the bright beam of light, he reached out and grabbed the pale spine.
Earth Lord, rise!
Although it was flying in the air, it felt as if it were standing on the ground, with boundless power coming from its feet. It even lifted the hundred-meter Giant with one hand and faced the thick beam of light.
The Judge released the Death Star was dumbfounded. The heavily armored Giant swung it like a spear, its body glowing red from the Death Ray. It was like a giant piece of paper, slapping back and forth, exploding everything it touched into clouds of Blood Mist, until another comet pierced through.
Boom--
The Giant exploded layer by layer, Boros disappeared into it, penetrating from the groin and emerging from the neck like a spinning top, before delivering a spinning kick directly to Yuki's head.
Thump.
The aura exploded, and he unleashed a powerful downward kick, but his opponent remained unmoved. Boros narrowed his single eye and asked a pointless question.
"You want to kill me!?"
That was indeed nonsense. He had never seen such pure killing intent before. As the supreme ruler of the Star River, his first thought was to avoid its sharp edge. But when Taiyi crushed the Judge with killing intent, he understood.
Once this trap is set, there's no way for him to escape; hiding back in his own judgment space is useless!
Sizzle--
The blade drew bright sparks across the golden armor. Yuki didn't answer; he simply swept his longsword forward, leaning forward and letting his heel slam into his shoulder, a swift hook punch colliding with a smashing elbow.
The sound waves were annihilated in the full-force collision. Boros's single eye contracted, and he discovered that, in terms of the power of light, Taiyi was actually much stronger than himself.
The Star River Overlord was an absolute melee king; no one in the entire Judge faction dared to confront him head-on. And yet, he was suppressed by Taiyi?
How is that possible?!
Yuki silent, wielding his steel sword and musket, and gave chase without any concern about sustain after the initial burst of power.
Super Particle Form!
Boros's entire body turned crimson red. In an instant, a barrage of burning bullets pierced through Piercer, leaving behind a series of afterimages that were pushed a thousand meters away. The series of afterimages behind him seemed to be alive, rushing towards Yuki was chasing after him.
It's no use!
He slashed them all down with a single blow, seamlessly transforming from a cunning and ruthless schemer into a mad dog.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Slaughter all living creatures, and crush all enemies.
Such is the brilliance of will. Boros wasn't stupid; when faced with such a mad dog, he could only avoid its sharp edge and use his Hundred Eyes of True Knowledge to observe the situation.
Where are the reinforcements?!
News of his attack has already spread, and as part of the established strategy, every Grand Inquisitor is fishing for him; this is undoubtedly the true form of 'Taiyi'.
The big fish has been caught, and all the Judge are on their way, but Yuki has also made arrangements.
Across several spaces, the battlefield between the two factions instantly became intense. All the players surged out, desperately trying to stop the Judge's return. Solomon and Aatrox were blocked by the Thorny Rose, Sephiroth and the Herrscher of Finality were entangled before the vortex, and Aizen and Uchiha Madara moved a little slower, but they also stepped over the flesh and blood of the players to reach the sky.
"These useless people are too slow!"
The battle was measured in milliseconds. Boros hadn't even flown very far before his particle clones were all destroyed. Yuki didn't even bother to defend himself, letting those fists pound on him, shattering the Immortal Crystal, piercing through the Insect Demon Armor, and then repairing himself with High-Speed Regeneration.
Abandoning defense and launching a full-scale attack, he grew three heads and six arms, wielding either a spear or a halberd.
The Six Gods' Authority. The Avatar of Strife!
The particles scattered, were absorbed by the Void Conversion, and turned into fuel, providing a continuous source of energy for this killing body. Then he chased after it and unleashed a flurry of slashes at Boros.
Ding ding ding...
Two streaks of red and blue meteors intertwined, stretching from the starry sky all the way to the desert, leaving behind countless pale halo rings along the way, like a giant beast galloping across, leaving behind a dense array of circular pits in the desert.
Boros was having trouble breathing. This mad dog was nothing like Taiyi. Wasn't he just like Sōsuke Aizen, hiding behind the scenes with a sinister smile?
"No, more ferocious than me, more insane than me!"
A hand slash pierced his left chest, the tightening muscles clamping his hand tightly. The halberd of conflict came crashing down on him. Boros leaned back, his legs kicking wildly. A series of cracking sounds filled the air as he pulled his hand out, then felt as if he had been shoved hard.
Bang!
The Kindling Pellets embedded in his back caused his single eye to become bloodshot, and the burning soul fire was isolated at the cellular level, triggering a super-fast repair process.
He suddenly twisted his body, his raised fist like Thor's Hammer, and collided head-on with the Black Blade that Yuki was slashing down with both hands.
Click--
The spatial fault spread outwards like a knife, leaving a five-finger-width mark in the air and on the ground, as if it had entered the end of the Judgment Domain, severing anything that stood in its way.
Such immense power.
Boros saw his fist freeze in mid-air, the two energies colliding continuously, the azure lightning being sliced apart layer by layer. Then, he raised his knee to meet the heavy punch that Yuki was throwing down.
The Continental Shatter!
Earth Lord, Gravity Roar!
A fist slammed into a knee, like two eggs hitting each other, leaving cracks all over their bodies. With a 'crack', the golden armor shattered into pieces, and Yuki's body was also covered with fine cracks. The two intertwined figures were sent flying backward.
"You enjoy fighting even more than I do!"
Boros was breathing heavily, he didn't even have time to catch his breath, the net of light woven by gravity had already enveloped him, Taiyi, pounced on him with a bloodthirsty, fanatical smile.
Death is the inevitable outcome; a head is the only thing one desires.
Boros couldn't understand what this guy was trying to do. Did this rabid dog want to return? Was he going to turn the Borderlands into a bloodbath and pile up corpses where no one should have been killed?
