Despair

In the arena.

Ray and Enoch coughed and scrambled to their feet from the stone steps.

The two frantically shoveled the Recovery Item into their mouths while staring incredulously at the top of the stairs.

Lu Xiu stood calmly amidst the golden lightning and heavy wind pressure.

Beside her, the Ornstein and Smough stood like two insurmountable mountains.

"----Are you kidding me?!"

Seeing this, Lei lost his composure and couldn't help but shout in a broken voice, "What on earth is going on?! How are you so skilled?! How can you do that?! How can you dodge the BOSS's attacks like that?!"

He had painstakingly struggled through this damned dungeon for so long, thinking he was familiar with it enough.

But at this moment, I realize that my familiarity with it is a joke.

This Architect is practically blind!

How did they manage to do that?! They didn't even notice the two bosses' movements from the front!

Even for Architect! This is outrageous!!!

Although Enoch didn't shout, his trembling hands and pale face betrayed his shock.

Lu Xiu stood in the center of the two bases, looking down at them.

Faced with Lei's questioning.

She had no intention of answering, nor did she have time to.

Because the Dragon Slayer Ornstein beside her, having failed in his first attack, attacked again.

----After all, he's not a real protector.

This attack was extremely sudden and swift, a cold, sharp strike characteristic of Soul-type bosses.

But Lu Xiu reacted even faster.

Almost the instant Ornstein made his move, he rolled forward and dodged the attack, then immediately charged down the stairs!

Damn it!!!

Lei was the first to react.

Despite his inner shock and fear, his pride Chosen Player and his hatred for Lu Xiu prevented him from thinking rationally.

He forcefully suppressed the surging blood and qi within him, gripped the Great Axe tightly with both hands, and lightning once again gathered wildly on the axe blade.

"Die!!!"

He raised his Great Axe high.

However, looking at Ray's opening move, which was full of flaws...

Lu Xiu's sprinting speed did not slow down; instead, she used the gravity of the downhill slope to accelerate even faster!

Clang!!!

In the instant the two crossed paths, the Nameless Blade once again precisely intercepted the Great Axe's attack trajectory.

The third Perfect Deflect!

Lei's Great Axe was swung away again, bounced high into the air, his center wide open, and he was frozen in place.

As she Deflect, Lu Xiu gracefully slid to the side.

Swish!

The very next second after she slid, a golden lightning spear, from the blind spot where she had been standing, grazed her cheek and her flying ponytail, like lightning piercing through the void, and stabbed straight towards her!

That was a furious blow from Ornstein!

This shot was originally intended for Lu Xiu.

But with Lu Xiu's sliding step to give way, this shot landed right on Lei, who was caught off guard due to his stiffness and had his center wide open!

"Aa...

Lei's eyes widened as he stared at the Dragonslayer Spear that suddenly enlarged, his eyes filled with despair, and he couldn't help but roar.

He's going crazy!!!

What is this?!

He was actually fighting Lu Xiu!!!

Still fighting the BOSS!!!

What the hell is this?!

But going crazy won't help.

Roaring won't help.

Ornstein's spear, wielding destructive lightning, pierced through Reina's muscular chest without resistance, then, like a string of candied hawthorns, strung the arrogant Chosen Player together! Raging lightning poured up the spear shaft!

Throwing technique!

Smash it!

Instant kill!

"Thunder!!!"

Enoch was devastated.

Then he watched as the girl, using the momentum from her slide, continued to rush towards him like a gentle breeze.

Disbelief and anger overwhelmed Enoch's reason.

"Stay here!!!"

He roared, unleashing his agility, which far surpassed that of ordinary players.

His entire body transformed into a blurry Afterimage.

Then, four identical Enoch clones appeared in Lu Xiu's blind spot.

[Talent Skill: Afterimage]

Then, five short swords transformed into an impenetrable web of Afterimage, blocking all of Lu Xiu's escape routes from five absolute blind spots, and thrusting straight at her neck, heart, and abdomen!

This appears to be a player from Prison Rock who excels in agility.

But it's not fast either.

Lu Xiu sighed inwardly.

Then, with a Dodge Step to create distance, a series of Deflect follow.

The clanging of metal being struck echoed continuously.

In that instant.

Millions of eyes, whether in the live broadcast room or on the Fan Lixin, clearly saw it.

The girl's right hand, holding the Nameless Blade, instantly created a series of blurry Afterimage.

Then Enoch's main body, along with his clone, were suddenly thrown back, and all the attacks were deflected.

All the spikes missed their mark at that moment!

Everyone: "----"

Enoch opened his mouth wide.

He couldn't understand it.

Why does the opponent's Architect's agility attribute seem to be higher than mine?

Before he could recover from the shock...

Lu Xiu suddenly stopped, and using the momentum from her Dodge Step, she rolled forward at her limit.

And at the very same moment she rolled over.

Call!

A gigantic hammer, as large as a mountain, carrying immense wind pressure capable of shattering everything, whipped up a suffocating blast of air, and crashed down with a deafening roar!

Lu Xiu's body almost grazed the giant hammer as she rolled past.

She can leave.

Enoch, who was beside her, couldn't roll away, nor did he have time to.

"Iiikekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke" Enoch raised his head and looked at the golden hammer that fell like a meteorite. His liver and gallbladder were split, and he also let out a shrill scream.

He's going crazy!!!

Who am I even fighting?!

How could she remain so composed despite being attacked by two bosses?!

Why----

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt.

Because the giant hammer fell.

Boom!!!!

Another terrifying roar, almost shaking the entire Anor Londo city.

Smough's massive hammer, with its devastating force, slammed into Enoch's head without any resistance.

----And in front of this dump truck.

This agility-based Chosen Player is practically made of paper.

In an instant, it turned into a sky full of blood mist.

Lu Xiu stood up, dodging the Dragonslayer Spear's attack once again with a split-second, and then charged towards the remaining Prison Rock players.

Even Chosen Player with high attributes are devastated.

Not to mention the other players Prison Rock on the stairs.

soon.

Lu Xiu's figure plunged into the densest crowd of players in Prison Rock.

Next, the passive boss battle began!

Swish!

Ornstein's Thunder Thrust struck again, like a leech clinging to a bone.

Lu Xiu didn't even turn her head; she simply made an extremely smooth sideways movement while running.

The golden spear grazed the hem of her clothes, yet effortlessly skewered the three Prison Rock players directly in front of her like a string of candied hawthorns. Lightning flashed, and the stench of burning flesh instantly filled the air.

Call!

The wind pressure overhead suddenly dropped, and Smough's giant hammer slammed down.

Lu Xiu nimbly rolled through the crowd, using her Nameless Blade to deflect a sneak attack from a Prison Rock player.

With a deafening roar, the giant hammer slammed onto the stone steps, smashing the six Prison Rock players, who hadn't even had time to react, into a bloody pulp mixed with rubble.

Sidestep, roll, Deflect, duck, accelerate, lean back----

Lu Xiu danced amidst the two berserk BOSSes and countless Prison Rock players, as if she were in an empty field.

The BOSS's attacks, which were powerful enough to instantly kill players, couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.

But every time these attacks landed, every time they swept across, every time they crashed down, they took away a large number of screaming Prison Rock players!

Lu Xiu did not kill many people with her own hands.

But every time she dodged, she was using someone else to do her dirty work.

Both sides of the stairs.

The Nine Provinces Strategy Group, including Fan Lixin, stared at the horrific scene before them, a scene resembling Calamity, with blood mist, rubble, and lightning flying everywhere. They clung stiffly to the stone railing, even holding their breath.

Gale-force winds, thunder, blood mist, shattered rocks, and the inhuman curses and wails of the Prison Rock players intertwined to create a hellish scene before their eyes.

The players of Prison Rock were like paper in the face of the monster horde led by Lu Xiu; a mere brush with them meant certain death, and even a touch meant certain death.

That's terrible.

This isn't fighting a boss, it's a one-sided massacre!

Fan Lixin watched Lu Xiu constantly shifting and turning among the monsters, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

The High Sequence player from Nine Provinces who had just opposed Fan Lixin's decision to evade the order was also stunned, his mouth agape, standing there dumbfounded.

After a while.

He murmured, "Old Fan—"

Am I seeing things?

Why do I see three bosses?

Fan Lixin: "----"

In fact, it wasn't just Fan Lixin.

Everyone who witnessed this scene, whether players from Nine Provinces or Prison Rock, had one thought echoing wildly in their minds.

----Is this really not the third BSS?

Inside the Prison Rock's live stream room.

The player from Prison Rock stared at the girl standing unharmed in the center of the monsters.

The initial shock gradually turned into despair.

The number of bullet comments is decreasing.

But each one is unbelievable.

"----This is the Architect of Nine Provinces?"

"Are you kidding me?! How can you dodge all attacks and even guide the BOSS to attack our players under these circumstances?!"

"Is this what a true Architect is like? To be so familiar with the enemies in their own instance, to be able to handle things with such ease even in this situation."

"Why—why can't Lord Helag do it—are they really all Architect?"

"Ahhhh------why on earth----"

At the same time.

Prime Minister Prison Rock sat motionless, watching the Prison Rock players being utterly slaughtered by the "three BOSSes" without any chance of fighting back.

What is that?!

What on earth is this?!

Negative buffs can also become advantages???

Does this mean that the only way for Prison Rock to kill her is before she gets entangled with the monsters???

Are you kidding me?! Is this still considered a negative buff???

Inside the arena.

This horrific massacre did not last long.

Because Lu Xiu's progress was too fast.

Swish!

With a final Dodge Step, the girl's slender figure landed at the very bottom of the steps leading to the Anor Londo.

The magnificent staircase behind her had now transformed into a veritable inferno.

Everywhere was littered with rubble and evaporated blood.

The hundred or so players in Prison Rock were crushed by a bulldozer composed of the "three major BOSSes".

As for the remaining dozen or so players Prison Rock had narrowly escaped death and were huddled against the edge of the railing, trembling with fear, they were frantically sending messages.

The information is disorganized, but it can be summarized in one sentence.

Don't provoke Lu Xiu when there's a monster behind her! Absolutely not!

-"

Lu Xiu turned her head and looked at the empty road ahead again, ignoring the defeated soldiers who had been terrified.

With a gentle flick of his Nameless Blade rang out, drawing a crescent arc in the air before the bloodstains on its surface were completely wiped away.

Then continue forward.

All that was left for everyone was a slender silhouette.

And behind her.

Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough, leading a band of Silver Knight and giant guards, roared and charged after them once more.

The Train King Ring City Marathon belongs to Lu Xiu.

The second half has officially begun.

But unlike before...

This time, she moved in as if she were in an empty place, with no one stopping her.

Because other players in Nine Provinces and Prison Rock had also received the message.

Thus, an absurd and comical scene unfolded in the Anor Londo.

On a wide stone bridge in the outer city.

Two groups of players, who were initially enraged by the Bonfire, were preparing to unleash their ultimate attacks in a desperate fight to the death.

Suddenly, a roaring sound came from the bridgehead.

Both High Sequence players froze simultaneously as they saw a girl with a high ponytail hurtling towards them with a light, graceful motion, leaving a trail of ghostly blue flames.

The two sides, who were fighting to the death just a second ago, now displayed amazing teamwork.

Without hesitation, everyone put away their weapons and rushed to both sides of the stone bridge in unison, pressing their backs firmly against the cold stone railings. Some even pushed and shoved each other.

"Move over a bit! Make room for me!!!"

Swish!

Lu Xiu flew across the center of the stone bridge, glancing at the players Prison Rock against the wall, feeling a little sorry, but she didn't stop, because there were more and more monsters.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

Following closely behind her were the Ornstein and Smough and a vast army of monsters.

Only after the Monster Tide had completely disappeared did the players on both sides on the stone bridge breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had been completely exhausted.

that's all.

Both sides retreated in unison and lined the streets to bid farewell.

Lu Xiu encountered no obstacles whatsoever. Leading the ever-growing monster army behind her, she circled around the Anor Londo before finally arriving at her final destination.

That was a huge, suspended terrace extending outwards from the edge of the Anor Londo.

A transportation hub connecting Anor Londo and the Sen's Fortress.

----This is also what players jokingly call the Didi Ghost-Busting Stop".
