Chapter 76
[Special Trait Activated: Heart of Sacrifice]
An invisible mental wave spread out, and in an instant, Yuki almost retaliated with a swift strike to fulfill this man's wish.
Fortunately, he remained relatively calm and quickly used reason to control his murderous intent, only then understanding why the Tyrant did not use it indiscriminately.
This characteristic affects both friend and foe, and it also puts teammates' mentality to the test, but the results are equally outstanding.
The sound of crashing into the wall disappeared instantly. Within a hundred meters, the retreating demons turned around, and no matter how mutilated their bodies were, they were like puppets with broken strings, out of control.
All the hatred is focused on the Tyrant. It would be too easy to sell this man; he could be easily dragged down with him. It really tests the level of trust.
He shifted his gaze uneasily to the figure in front of him, who raised his sword and slew the demon without hesitation.
"Trying to run away? Not so easy!"
Chapter Twenty-Five: Player Yuki on a Killing Spree (Second Update)
The Reincarnation Game filled with betrayal; those with a slightly suspicious nature can drive themselves mad, and the characteristics of Tyrant are a form of torture.
This was the first time he had used it in front of other players, but Yuki did not disappoint him. He never even considered betraying his opponent; his longsword was both fast and steady.
"Hold it back, I'll handle this."
The black-haired boy rushed out, while the Tyrant paused for a moment before nodding emphatically.
This decisiveness dispelled his last doubts, and with a companion he could entrust his back to, he was finally able to devote himself wholeheartedly to the battle.
Instant Step.
Boom--
The spot where he had been standing was covered by a giant hand, and the man instantly appeared beside him, raising his twin guns.
Explosive bullets.
The giant skeletal hand was deflected, and the sudden burst of fire illuminated the warehouse and also Yuki, who was hiding in the shadows.
He pulled the knife from the Butcher Doctor's back, his scarlet eyes fixed ahead.
The Giant had turned around and appeared in his vision as a huge black fog, with the darkest part being his right chest.
"Right chest, third rib."
Yuki shouted decisively, but it was no use. The Tyrant couldn't free his hands, and the Giant was lying on the ground, unable to shoot.
The choice then becomes obvious.
"I'll do it."
Yuki charged in from the side, taking down demons along the way to maintain his buff. Since the Tyrant had drawn all the hatred, the killing went even more smoothly.
Like a skilled assassin, Yuki suddenly appeared, striking a vital point with a single blow, and continued forward.
Stepping over the demon's corpse, he quickly approached the Giant's side, then, with a flick of his toes, launched himself out like an arrow.
Bite--
The blade struck accurately, but the force of the impact nearly caused the longsword to slip from his grasp. Yuki looked at the spot where the sword had struck, and felt a steel-like feedback from the thin carpet of a human face. Then, the face the sword had struck suddenly opened its mouth.
Not good.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!"
A piercing scream rang out, and that familiar Mental Impact came again. With the help of the Demon Possession resistance, Yuki quickly sheathed his sword and retreated, only to see a skeletal arm pierce through the carpet from the inside.
Swish--
Holding the machete in his arm, even from a meter away, Yuki felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw a wound about an inch deep on his chest, as if it had been cut open by a wind blade.
Wait a minute, a machete?
Yuki took several steps back, looked up, and saw a scene that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Half a mutilated body extended from the Giant's back, he gripped a cleaver, and pale bones connected his spine to the demon's back.
"Jack."
Yuki recognized the burly white man he had once trained at a glance; sure enough, connecting him to the player's head would create a special demon.
"We meet again, Thomas." The man's mouth stretched to his ears, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "I've always wanted to see you again and show you what freedom and human rights really mean."
The thief was driven by fear, while the other was driven by hatred. This amplified the negative emotions, which explains why he turned back to retaliate.
This connector is not as simple as it seems!
Yuki completely ignored the provocation, lowered his head, let the greatsword pass over his head, and with a backhand slash, pierced the butcher's right chest. He then pressed down silently with his toes.
The time to Reinforcement Magecraft is almost here, so I'm not going to waste my breath on you.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't players even exchange a few words when they meet?"
Jack tilted his head and immediately hid under the skeleton. In his memory, Yuki was the strongest veteran player, so why would he fight him head-on? He controlled the skeletal Giant to escape the taunts.
With two minds in one body, the Tyrant's characteristics clearly cannot attract hatred, and Jack's choice is also flawless, judging by the number of demons slaughtered.
Yuki ten times worse than Tyrant.
Ugh--
The giant hand slammed down like a wall, but Yuki had already anticipated it when he saw it. The step was just a feint, and he lunged to the side in advance.
Boom!!
The giant hand swept away everything within ten meters, and the impact made Yuki roll twice on the ground. After bouncing up, he killed two nurses and refreshed his buff. Looking back, he saw another giant hand coming from the front.
One in front and one behind, like trying to swat a pesky mosquito.
Good judgment; you know I pose the greatest threat, but you might not know that...
"He's better than me."
The wind pressure whipped his black hair, and a figure appeared in mid-air.
The battle was not a ring, and the mission objectives could be changed at any time. The Tyrant appeared on the ceiling with a flash, chewing, stepping on the chandelier, and holding two pistols together. His eyes under the gas mask also emitted a blue light.
The gun barrel is charged with energy; the preparation time for this shot is very long. It hovers in mid-air, magnified, like a giant target.
But the skeletal Giant had already focused all its attention on Yuki, and by the time it realized what was happening, it was too late.
Beam Bullets.
A crimson beam of light lingered in the air, slicing through anything in its path as the gun barrel rotated.
The shelf was severed, the cut revealing a lava-like texture. The skeletal Giant paused for a moment, its forearm, which was about to close, detaching from its body.
He was only a few meters away from Yuki into mincemeat, but the Giant couldn't care less about him. The Tyrant's gun barrel glowed red again, and the second shot seemed to be about to slice through the Giant's body.
Don't even think about it!
Jack suddenly appeared at the Giant's waist, gripping his sword with both hands and aiming at the Tyrant in the air, clearly intending to force the man back. But before the Chaos Item could unleash its wind blades, a dark shadow shot in from afar.
Extreme Speed.
Like an arrow released from a bow, the bright blade aimed straight for Jack's brow, causing him to instinctively shrink back into the Giant's body.
Clatter.
Yuki stepped onto the human skin carpet, watching the changing faces without pausing, and quietly wiped his hands across her face.
Ahhhhh--
The wailing shockwave spread out, but failed to hit the rapidly moving Yuki.
"Shoot at me!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The crimson beam appeared and disappeared in an instant, shooting close to Yuki's back. Its penetrating power was clearly superior to that of the longsword, blasting charred holes into the steel-hard human skin carpet.
This wasn't a random shot; it was more like a game of whack-a-mole. Yuki was closely following the shadowy figure moving under the carpet, using the Piercer force of the Beam Bullets to keep it firmly in place.
The Mental Impact chased after Yuki, Yuki chased after the demon core, and beams of light from the sky followed one after another, forming a logical loop.
Three seconds later, the skeletal Giant began to roll, feeling the undulations of the 'ground' beneath its feet. Yuki gritted his teeth.
It cannot stop. If it stops, it will be hit by Mental Impact on the spot, or die at the hands of its teammates. And there is not much area left for it to dodge.
The battle was measured in seconds. Two seconds later, Yuki stepped onto the Giant's neck and saw the shadowy figure finally stop at the back of its head.
Before Jack could even say two words, he was being chased all over the place by the two of them. He could feel the skeletal Giant's weakness; his severed arm hadn't grown back yet, and he deeply regretted not breaking free from their taunts earlier.
But he hated that black-haired boy so much. He, a big shot at the gym, was being treated like a chicken by a kid. He wanted to kill him at any chance.
You must die!
Thump--
With the severed hand planted on the ground, the Giant straightened his body, and at the same time, wrinkles appeared on the human skin carpet, like the fleshy back of a fat man's neck.
This blocked Yuki's path of attack. Seeing more than a dozen pained faces open their mouths at once sent a chill down his spine.
Even with resistance to Demon Possession, this roar would surely annihilate him, and the dense black shadow had already crept in from under the carpet.
Yuki could remain still and let the Tyrant finish him off with a single shot. In any case, the Demon Possession was about to end, and without those eyes, there would be no next chance.
"But we'll both perish—"
"You think you're worthy?!"
The mask ripped open, revealing Yuki's mouth, which held a purple crystal bottle with a little liquid still inside.
Glug glug.
He drank the Quiet Dew in one gulp. This Chaos Item, like the Chainsaw Sword, was difficult to control, and the amount consumed depended entirely on experience.
Excessive drinking froze his mind and body, leaving him motionless like the monster from years ago. But a moment later, the piercing scream jolted him awake.
Aaaaaaah!!!
The terrifying Mental Impact, the combined negative states of Abomination, fear, and rage, even dispelled the gray mist surrounding Yuki. Taking advantage of this moment, Jack leaped off the carpet like a dolphin, his bright cleaver slashing towards Yuki's neck.
Call out!
The beam grazed Yuki's shoulder. Of course, the Tyrant wouldn't kill him as well. This 'leniency' allowed Jack, who was prepared, to tilt his head slightly, and only a charred hole was blasted into his chest.
Just as I expected.
He slashed with his sword, intending to simultaneously retreat back into the Giant's body, but the ferocious smile on his face quickly froze.
Clatter.
His hand was gripped firmly, and at the same time, a bright, cold light magnified in his eyes.
Player Yuki a killing spree!
Chapter Twenty-Six: Qualitative Change (First Update)
Click, click.
Bones shattered on the ground, and angry, wide-eyed heads rolled far away. Yuki leaned on his sword with one hand, bent over and panting heavily, leaving the remaining demons to the Tyrant to deal with.
The effect of the Conceptual Craft Essence has passed, and this is not a side effect of the Chainsaw Sword. Human stamina is not unlimited, and once the main problem is solved, fatigue suddenly overwhelms you.
It's finally done.
He slowly raised his head, and all he could see was Corpse Mountain, Blood Sea; hundreds of demon corpses filled the entire floor.
The walls were shattered, the ground was full of cracks, and a large pile of bones formed a small mountain, while he leaned on his sword atop the mountain peak.
'What a stunning view!'
Although my body was tired, the pleasure from killing filled my heart. The battle just now perfectly demonstrated the Conceptual Craft Essence, and the feeling of becoming a killing machine was amazing.
"Conceptual Craft Essence limitations, but we can use our intellect to turn those limitations into reality."
Just like the saying that 'Hesitation is Defeat' that killed Thomas, the Conceptual Craft Essence is not omnipotent. If it were a demon in its normal state, how could it possibly achieve a kill streak in ten seconds?
But with good teamwork, decisive moves, and crucial weakening, he can fully realize the concept.
Unfortunately, this still has limitations. The Demon Possession time has already ended, Quiet Dew can only reduce the side effects, not prolong the duration.
If Jack's observation skills are sharp enough, and he chooses to fight a protracted battle, the outcome is still uncertain.
"That was a close call, thank you so much."
