Chapter 159 Just Because I Gave You One More Look
The Shadow King's body is undergoing an astonishing transformation.
Those dark chains that emerged from the ground and imprisoned millions of players now seemed to have become its veins.
Countless streams of pure dark energy and life essence were continuously drawn from the chains and flowed into the thousand-meter-tall demon god's body.
Its size was shrinking slightly at a visible rate, but the pressure it exuded was increasing exponentially.
"roar--!"
A roar, completely different from the previous ones, resounded through the sky.
The voice was no longer simply angry, but carried a sense of satisfaction after a good meal, and... a playful anticipation of an impending game.
The transformation is complete.
"The trial...begins."
The Shadow King's massive, scarlet eyes were no longer empty.
Its gaze moved slowly, sweeping over the millions of still "sculptures" on the plain.
Finally, its gaze settled on an orc warrior wielding a giant axe, maintaining a charging stance.
The judgment of the shadows has been appointed.
[Target: Berserker's Axe]
A cold, impersonal system notification sounded in everyone's mind.
The next second, the black chains binding the orc warrior vanished instantly.
He regained his freedom.
But before he could recover from the shock of regaining control, a blood-red debuff icon appeared above his head.
[Shadow Mark: Deals true damage equal to 8% of maximum health per second, undispellable until death.]
The warrior only had time to utter a single syllable of terror before his health bar plummeted at a visible speed!
"Heal!!" he roared hoarsely.
However, his teammates around him were all frozen in place, becoming lifelike sculptures, only able to look at him with terrified eyes.
The Shadow King didn't even glance at him, simply casually unleashing a burst of shadow energy.
puff.
This warrior, whose name no one even remembered, had his health bar instantly emptied and disappeared in a flash of white light.
First.
Everyone understood.
The second phase mechanism is roll call!
The player who is targeted will be freed from control, but will be given a fatal debuff, making them the BOSS's one-on-one target.
This is an execution!
However, true elite players think a step further.
Although their bodies were bound, the minds of Saros, Moon Arrow, and Auro were working at lightning speed.
Those who have been named can take action!
He can choose to attack the BOSS, or... help others!
"Dispel! The person targeted should use a dispel skill or item immediately!"
The commands from the three guild leaders sounded almost simultaneously in their respective guild channels.
opportunity!
This is a chance to break the deadlock and fight for second place!
Whoever gets their person selected first will gain the upper hand!
As if hearing their prayers, the Shadow King's gaze shifted again, this time locking onto a slender, dagger-wielding cat-headed assassin.
The judgment of the shadows has been appointed.
[Target: Feifei is not afraid]
The moment the chains dissipated, the assassin displayed exceptional combat skills, activating his strongest survival ability without hesitation.
"Gray Mist Cloak!"
A cloud of black mist enveloped him, making him immune to all damage for 1.5 seconds.
It's somewhat useful, but not much.
The Shadow Mark above his head was completely unreasonable, ignoring any immunity effects.
The health bar is still dropping rapidly!
After 1.5 seconds of invincibility, the BOSS casually waved his hand.
He then transformed into a second beam of white light.
The entire snow-covered plain fell into an even deeper silence.
Even the elites of the three major guilds showed a hint of despair in their eyes.
How do you play this?
This is impossible to play!
Chen You continued to unleash his attacks, the Jade Emperor Twin Swords seemingly tireless.
The BOSS's health has dropped to 16%.
He glanced at the two dissipating white lights and stroked his chin.
The store does have items that can dispel group attacks; the price doesn't matter.
but……
This thing affects other players and is considered a positive buff.
Will the system classify this as "PVP interaction" and then waste his precious newbie protection period?
Chen You dared not gamble.
Help? On what grounds? We're not related.
He wasn't familiar with this group of people, and if he ended up getting himself involved, that would be a huge loss.
If this newbie protection period is used up, Director Li might have to come to the Origin Realm with a knife.
Chen You continued to be his output machine with a clear conscience.
Anyway, the BOSS seemed to completely ignore this bug and was engrossed in his roll call business.
Since he wasn't under control, he wasn't on the name list.
Good.
He leisurely surveyed the entire room, his gaze finally settling on Moon Arrow.
I can't help but wonder: how long will these big shots be punished after being named and shamed?
Just then, the Shadow King's mountain-like head slowly turned.
The crimson gaze swept over thousands of troops and landed precisely on the camp of the Moon Goddess's Radiance.
It landed on the elven queen, who was graceful and beautiful, but was now bound by chains like a work of art.
The judgment of the shadows has been appointed.
[Target: Moon Arrow]
coming!
When Moon Arrow saw Chen You's gaze, he felt a chill, but he didn't think much of it.
The most important thing right now is to seize the opportunity!
hum!
The chains broke.
The moment he regained his freedom, the leader of the elven gods did not hesitate for a moment.
She didn't even glance at her health bar, but instead took out a silver scroll that shimmered with moonlight and tore it open on the spot!
The soft moonlight emanated from her, forming a huge halo that spread outwards.
Wherever the halo passed, the black chains on dozens of core knights and archers of the Moon Goddess's Radiance snapped inch by inch.
"President!"
"Output! All-out burst! Deal damage!" Moon Arrow's voice was cold and urgent.
Without stopping, she fired an arrow backward.
"Moon Goddess's Protection—Open!"
A beam of white light fell with the arrow, dispelling the dozen or so auxiliary units within its reach.
"Healing, prioritize keeping the damage-dealing squad alive."
This was the decisive decision of the first person of the Elven God Clan!
For the glory of the guild, she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself to create space for the team to deal damage!
In the camps of Titan Temple and Shadow of Roman, Thalos and Auros looked extremely grim.
Damn!
Why did it have to be the Moon Arrow?!
The damage contribution of Luna's Radiance began to increase dramatically at a visible rate, rapidly closing the gap with Titan Temple.
However, the debuff on Moon Arrow was far more terrifying than imagined.
As a top-tier player at level 91, she has hundreds of thousands of health points.
The percentage-based health loss is truly alarming.
Tens of thousands of points of damage every second!
The healers in the back row, now freed from their duties, frantically cast healing spells on her, but they themselves were also losing health and couldn't keep up with her healing.
As Moon Arrow felt his life force rapidly slipping away, a sense of powerlessness welled up inside him.
Skills and items have all gone on cooldown.
Her injuries are now too great to even crack the top ten on the leaderboard.
She secured the greatest benefit for the guild, but she herself would die here, just like those two passersby before her.
As the strongest member of the Elven race in the Origin Realm, she carries the immense fortune and civilizational destiny of her entire race.
If she were to perish, the impact on the elven gods in the real world would be catastrophic.
Not reconciled.
I'm really not willing to accept this.
Her haughty gaze swept across the entire battlefield, over her own kind who were unleashing their fury, over the menacing Saros and Ouro, and finally…
Her gaze was fixed on that one and only figure.
The man who, from beginning to end, seemed completely unaffected, stood in the eye of the storm, leisurely taking drugs and controlling two flying swords.
Chen You.
