Chapter 613 529: Death Knight Ghost Armor
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shuhang in the video coughed twice, clutching his chest, quickly steadied himself, and discreetly wiped the blood from his lips.
The God of Killing Changqing landed steadily in front of the group of five, kicked up the Engine Sword resting on his shoulder, and gave a long yawn.
The five exchanged glances and quickly dispersed, leaving only Xiao Xinzhu standing in place, confronting the man.
"Not planning to take out a weapon?" The hoarse voice of the God of Killing Changqing came from beneath his mask.
"You can try approaching me," Xiao Xinzhu said calmly.
The gaze of the God of Killing Changqing sharpened, finally noticing the chilling gleam ringing around him. Upon closer look, dense and resilient threads had unknowingly sliced through the space around him, weaving an invisible giant web.
Even his legs and arms were entwined with these threads, the ends all connected to the girl's fingers. With a slight movement of Xiao Xinzhu's fingers, the sharp threads would swiftly contract, tightening gradually, causing faint blood marks to ooze on the skin's surface.
The God of Killing Changqing snorted coldly, a fierce aura emanated from his body, instantly dispersing the threads entwining him, some even snapping in mid-air.
He crossed his arms in front of him, ignoring the layered web, charged forward, the Engine Sword swirling in the air. Nearby threads were caught like water drawn by a storm, then burnt away by the flames from its engine core.
He made a swift dash towards Xiao Xinzhu, swung the sword to strike. However, the girl remained unmoving. Just as the Engine Sword, carrying an endless imposing force, was about to strike her, a sudden alert exploded in his mind, his motion sank, and the attack meant for her shoulder narrowly grazed Xiao Xinzhu's arm, leaving only a trace of the superficial blood mark.
Immediately after this, the God of Killing Changqing quickly retreated, slicing apart the incoming web with consecutive strikes, vigilant of the girl's direction even upon landing; a shallow blood mark also appeared on his arm.
"Hecate's Magic Tail," Xu Xiaoyou said.
"The combat abilities of a Life Musician are not strong; they excel in deceitful and unpredictable abilities, being a half-combat, half-support profession possessing decent survival abilities. Plus, with this Mimicry, if there's only one guerrilla unit in the team, it's essentially impossible to cut off this one."
"The ability of this Mimicry is roughly that units touching her threads receive equal harm when attempting to attack her, commonly known as counter damage. Unless the range of the Magic Tail is escaped, this effect persists."
"Oniri's Champion's Hand, Hermes' Divine Speed Boots, Erebos's Death Contract, Assassin God, Hecate's Magic Tail," Tang Xin recited, silently simulating possible scenarios against Assassin's Creed in his mind.
"Tsk, what's this mix? I can't even remember half the names," Angelina clicked her tongue.
"How do you know all these effects?" She looked at Xu Xiaoyou.
"Of course, they wouldn't publicly disclose their Mimicry effects," Xu Xiaoyou replied.
"I and a few analysts from the Light Chasing Garden slowly deduced it through the video; there may be minor errors, but the general idea is correct."
"This video is carefully chosen by me; incidentally, all five used their Mimicry effects concentrated in this small section," Xu Xiaoyou said.
"It's a bounty match between Queen's Armament and Assassin's Creed; though called a bounty match, it's essentially akin to a public training match."
"Add some excitement to a tedious training match, surely you all understand."
Xu Xiaoyou did not continue, uneasy about Xiao Xinzhu's situation and pessimistic about cutting off the opponent. Past videos never showed this Life Musician being cut off.
Usually, the guilds facing Assassin's Creed tended to ignore Xiao Xinzhu; though not many benefits came from her, her agility was low. It largely relied on Lu Shuhang and the Four-leaf Phoenix Tree for long-distance mobility. Instead of chomping hard on this bone, presidents preferred focusing fire to resolve Zhou Zhao first.
As she pondered, Xu Xiaoyou noticed everyone silently looking at her, puzzled:
"Why are you looking at me? The way to win isn't on my face but in my mind."
"Want to look inside?"
"Stop being narcissistic," Bai Youyou said. "How about the next video? Play it."
"I'm afraid you'll get complacent if I play it," Xu Xiaoyou sighed. "There's nothing worth seeing next."
"Play it," Bai Youyou insisted.
"Yes, play it," Angelina echoed.
"I want to see," Tang Xin crossed her arms.
Xu Xiaoyou couldn't resist the girls' insistence and reluctantly shrugged.
"I need to emphasize, Assassin's Creed really isn't weak, at least in 5v5 it absolutely surpasses the Heterogeneous Front."
After speaking, she resumed playing the video.
Before the God of Killing Changqing could react, an ivory door appeared behind him, the pixel light waves inside poised to strike, while Lu Shuhang and the Four-leaf Phoenix Tree lunged at him from different directions, except Yu Lan was nowhere to be seen.
Calmly observing, he repelled Lu Shuhang and the Four-leaf Phoenix Tree with punches, turned, and a sweeping blade flashed out full force, overturning the ivory door, intent on annihilating it.
Lu Shuhang decisively used 'Assassin God', swapped positions with the door, then switched with the Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, who dodged the black blade with Divine Speed Power, while the pixel light wave from the repositioned door redirected, straight towards Changqing's chest, targeting the heart.
The God of Killing Changqing reacted, stomping a foot to raise two colossal walls before him out of thin air, then clasping hands in the next instant, causing the walls to collide and close in, intending to intercept the beam.
At this moment, Lu Shuhang moved again; this time he swapped positions with the beam, blinked out of sight, replaced by Yu Lan with a Giant Scythe poised to strike, raised over her head. The scythe's swing resembled lightning tearing through night, slicing the walls from the middle, killing intent bursting through towards the slightly stunned God of Killing Changqing.
The contract on the man had stacked up five times, a hit from the girl would drain his health bar instantly.
"We got him!" Hope flashed in Assassin's Creed members' eyes.
Suddenly, an unexpected twist, the God of Killing Changqing performed an unimaginable action. He thrust both hands into his own heart, crushed it, killing himself before Yu Lan's strike could land!
"This is..." The five widened their eyes slightly.
"Death Knight Ghost Armor!"
Instantly, a hellish evil ghost's roar erupted from the man, an indescribable violent aura exploded, ravaging outward, soaring skyward!
This wave of malice resembled the sea, surging out in waves, each overwhelming the next, so terrifying it left everyone present from Assassin's Creed shaken and paralyzed by nameless oppression and fear clutching at their hearts.
