Mu You looked forward and saw that the Emperor and Jack's men had gathered outside the square in the distance.
Although he currently holds the heart of the Octopus King, a powerful weapon in the battle, he does not believe that the emperor and others will retreat in spite of the difficulties. The other party will probably make a final attempt to launch a wave of attacks.
And the reality was just as he expected.
At this moment, hundreds of people were having a heated discussion on the edge of the square.
"What's going on? There's no crystals here?" Jack frowned. He once wondered if the other party was using some kind of deception to lead them to the wrong direction.
"But the opponent's formation is indeed defensive, and the place should be right!"
"As for the crystallization, it may appear soon..." Tianzi said and looked at the time.
3:50 local time...
"3:50...4 o'clock sharp...dawn...that's how it is..."
This sensitive time point and the other party's actions allowed the emperor to quickly guess the truth.
"Auroville City, so it can only be opened at dawn..."
Everyone else was stunned when they heard his words, and then they all suddenly realized.
"There is actually such a rule!"
"But if it's four o'clock, there are only ten minutes left..."
"Hurry up and act quickly, we'll run out of time..."
"Hurry up!"
"Everything goes as planned!"
…
The emperor's plan had been explained to all his staff on the road, and the assigned tasks had been clearly arranged.
After spending tens of seconds and making simple arrangements, at 3:51 in the morning, the emperor and Jack, totaling over 400 people in total, launched a charge towards the square.
Four hundred people took the initiative to rush towards the hundreds of thousands of octopuses on the opposite side, which was overwhelming, and there was something tragic about it.
Unfortunately, before they could get closer, they were first attacked by a large magic sniper on the road.
At this time, both Lin Xue and Mu You were enjoying the crystal support from other mystics.
Lin Xue directly waved a thunder net on the spot, and the square in front was covered by dark clouds in the blink of an eye. Countless thunder struck down, and the formation of four hundred people was instantly scattered.
It's just that those who could follow all the way here are not ordinary players. At this time, they hurriedly showed off their magical powers and avoided in fancy ways. After paying a certain price, they finally rushed out of the thunder and lightning area without any danger, and followed closely with the last player. The octopus defense lines in front collided.
If it were the original octopuses, with so many high-level players on site, it would not be difficult to break out of the encirclement.
But at this time, these octopuses are controlled remotely by Mu You. When operated by someone, the combat effectiveness of the octopus group is certainly different from the actions that rely solely on instinct.
Self-destruction, walls of flesh, acid spraying, intensive bombing...
Various targeted actions that the octopus itself could not do were used by Mu Youxin at his fingertips. The octopuses are connected layer by layer, like waves of ocean waves, never stopping to pounce on the opponent's breakout position. The player team almost breaks through a little, and is immediately pushed back even more.
It was unexpected for everyone to receive such strong resistance from the beginning.
At this moment, not only were they blocked from breaking out, but their self-confidence also suffered a huge blow, and their morale was much lower than when they rushed in just now.
"I don't care, just bet on this one. Use whatever trump card you have. I'll reimburse you later!"
"If you don't have a trump card, fill it with your life, and even tear it open!"
Jack shouted over the crowd.
This shout was indeed effective. Players on the front line burst out with various strange props. The originally unbreakable octopus defense line was torn open in an instant.
Everyone had been prepared for a long time. How could they miss such a good opportunity? They immediately accelerated and rushed forward. The entire team instantly turned into a triangular arrow shape, with offensive players with strong attack capabilities on both sides, and several people at the arrow. , and even top players such as Smiling Devil Jack.
Under the burst of a group of experts, the entire team was like a sharp knife, tearing open the defense line and quickly going deep in.
Of course, this wave did not allow the opponent to break through to the end. Mu You was also stepping up his efforts to control the octopuses to adjust their fronts, constantly applying pressure, and using all the entanglement methods he could think of to slow down the breakout speed of this group of death squads.
At this time, Lin Xue can't help much. Area magic can no longer be used after the melee between the two parties, otherwise it will help the players advance. And the single-target attack she is good at is difficult to use in such a crowded environment. .
As the two sides battled wits and courage, the breakout situation became stalemate again, but at last they were slowly advancing.
Although the players were anxious, they had no other choice. This was already their fastest speed, and they could only hope that time would catch up.
Finally, after six or seven minutes of such a stalemate, the player team finally 'grinded' into the interior of the octopus defense line, leaving only the last few meters away from the barrier.
At this time, the pressure to break out had reached its peak, and the team was completely deadlocked, unable to move.
Fortunately, this distance is close enough.
Among the players' team, a blond figure jumped out and rushed forward. It was the Emperor.
"retreat!"
Along the road, the emperor's word spirit barrier has been deployed. Relying on the power of the word spirit, it continuously repels the surrounding octopuses, tearing forward a passage that only one person can pass through. Then he rushes forward quickly and flashes directly to the end. boundary front.
However, when he tried to step into the barrier, he was immediately bounced away.
"Give me another map fragment, quickly!" The emperor shouted back quickly.
He also didn't expect that to enter this barrier, he would need at least three fragments!
They had been robbed of one and nine fragments by the ghost captain before, leaving only two fragments. At this time, they could only ask Jack to borrow the fragments.
"Sun, let us pay such a big price. If you can't win this city lord again, don't blame me for turning your back!"
Jack cursed loudly and without any time to hesitate, he hurriedly took out a fragment from his body and threw it to the emperor.
The emperor took the fragments and finally successfully entered the barrier this time.
As soon as they entered the boundary, the surrounding area immediately became quiet.
Without those densely packed octopuses, and without the noise of other players, only the Fool who has collected three fragments can enter this boundary.
There are only nine fragments in total. The ghost captain holds four, and he holds three. There are only two fragments left outside, and it is impossible for anyone to come in again.
In other words, next, there will be only him and the ghost captain in this barrier.
It was the full support of four hundred people that gave him the opportunity to have a one-on-one duel with Captain Ghost.
And there are only the last two minutes and ten seconds left in the duel!
Can you make it?
The emperor didn't know, and he didn't have time to think about it, because almost as soon as he entered the barrier, he was hit by a large number of invisible wind blades.
"barrier!"
The emperor hurriedly propped up the word spirit circle to defend without any blind spots, and at the same time stepped forward step by step towards the altar.
The wind blades continued to attack at a rate of half a second, and the magic power in Tianzi's body was burning rapidly. However, Tianzi believed that the opponent's spellcasting with this frequency must consume a lot of money.
Moreover, he has now used his "trump card". What he is not afraid of most is consumption. It is still unclear who will win and who will lose in this wave!
What he has to do now is to move to the altar against the opponent's attack within two minutes.
Even if he can't kill the ghost captain by then, he still has at least half a chance of grabbing the city lord!
Just as he was thinking about it, a sound unique to summoning spells suddenly came from the front.
When the emperor looked up, he realized that the front was completely blocked by a large number of summoned creatures, including foot-binding grass, troll war god, legendary witch doctor, fire giant, underworld devil boy, hydralisk guards, undead creatures, various clones...
The Emperor frowned slightly at the sight, but without any pause, he rushed forward decisively, facing the siege of the summoned creatures, shouting "Destroy" constantly, one by one with one palm, and cleared all the summoned creatures in just a few seconds.
"So generous?"
Mu You's slightly surprised voice sounded.
"Your magic power seems to be dozens of times more than before... So it turns out that you rely on the support of others. No wonder you dare to be so wasteful..." Through the exploration of the omniscient crystal, Mu You had figured out the true and false nature of the emperor in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the emperor's total amount of magic power was outrageous, at least two to three hundred thousand points, and these magic powers were obviously not his own, but came from players outside.
This is probably similar to the Death Contract of their association, which can temporarily borrow other people's magic power. However, the Death Contract is black magic, and the cost of using it is huge.
Mu You didn't believe that the other party's method of borrowing magic power would be cost-effective. It would probably have serious consequences and there would be many restrictions. These restrictions would most likely be reflected in the distance. Otherwise, the group of people outside would have obviously sent the emperor in. Well, why do we still gather near the barrier and bear the pressure of the octopus siege?
Obviously, they cannot leave the emperor too far, otherwise this supply of magic power is very likely to be broken.
Hearing Mu You's words, the emperor sighed secretly. The opponent's combat intuition was really strong, and he had basically seen through his trump card in just one meeting.
The emperor looked down at a blue sheet on his waist.
This is a hidden relic that he once bought from someone else at a high price. It is called the 'Azure Sky Disk'. Its effect is that it can absorb the magic power of nearby friends within a hundred meters and use it for himself.
This kind of absorption must be carried out with the consent of the friendly party. There is no limit on the number of people and the amount of magic absorbed.
The effect alone seems good, but in fact, this kind of absorption has huge side effects: what he absorbs is pure magic power, which is gone after consumption, but the person who is absorbed loses the upper limit of magic power!
In other words, the magic power sucked away from the friendly party will never be recovered!
Precisely for this reason, this relic is also known as the 'Friendly Disk', and its actual value is extremely worthless. After all, the price of the upper limit of loss is too terrifying. No matter how high the attributes are, friends cannot withstand such a torment.
However, this relic is quite consistent with the emperor's skin ability: the emperor's spiritual speaking skills are almost invincible as long as they have magic power, and this relic can theoretically provide him with inexhaustible magic power!
The two effects combined are a perfect match!
Of course, due to the side effect of absorbing the upper limit of magic power, this item cannot be used normally. It can only be used as a trump card at critical moments, and it cannot be absorbed too hard.
Just like this time, the ratio agreed upon by the emperor and Jack was one-tenth!
Each person provides him with one-tenth of the magic power, which means that each person permanently loses one-tenth of the magic power limit, to help him win the city lord. This is the maximum price that Jack's side can bear. No matter how many more people they have, they can I'm going to quit.
However, from the emperor's point of view, even if each person has one-tenth of the magic power of four hundred people, it is still the magic power of forty people. And he is going to fight a battle that only lasts two minutes, which is enough anyway!
The emperor looked up at the ghost captain on the steps in front.
Now everyone has the fragments in hand, and there is no level suppression between them.
Even if the opponent is really a legend, with so much magic power, the emperor doesn't think he will lose.
With this idea in mind, Tianzi confidently rushed towards the opponent.
But what the emperor didn't expect was that the figure above him shook his wand, stepped on it, and rushed straight towards him.
The emperor was surprised. Shouldn't the other side now keep a distance and continue bombing from a long distance? What's the point of approaching him actively? His word spirit barrier is invincible in close combat...
The emperor was at a loss, but he soon discovered that the opponent's forward charge was just a false shot, and he took a step forward and stopped immediately.
But immediately after, the sky was full of magical light and shadow rushing toward him!
Wind blade, fireball, snowball, water prison, mana damage, thunder ball, dark fire...
From the emperor's perspective, he could only see the ghost captain on the opposite side. His speed suddenly turned out to be numerous afterimages. The wand in his hand kept clicking dozens of times per second. The whole person looked extremely ghostly.
Along with this crazy casting speed, colorful magic effects hit the face with an extremely exaggerated density.
The emperor was stunned. Is this a real casting speed?
There was no time to think about it, and all kinds of gorgeous magic effects had already hit in the next moment. Fortunately, the emperor still held up an invincible barrier in front of him. No matter how dense the magic was, it could block him without any blind spots.
But the price was that his magic power began to disappear rapidly.
The emperor could not help but feel frightened as he watched the magic power in his body disappear piece by piece as if evaporating.
This is magic power for forty people!
In just a few breaths, his magic value of up to 300,000 has reached the bottom...
Not only that, even after his magic power was completely exhausted, the opponent's super-fast attack like a beast was still launching.
At this time, the emperor had no absolute defense. After using up his magic power, he didn't even have the means to escape. Under the intensive bombing from the opposite side, his health points were wiped out in just one second.
[You killed the favored man of heaven, gained experience +12, lifespan +1, obtained 'Skin Spirit Master Skin Fragment'*1, and obtained the Red Wand*1...]
A few seconds later, the emperor was resurrected at the edge of the barrier. He squatted on the ground and did not stand up. His whole body was still in a sluggish state.
This is the first time he has been killed, either in the game or in reality, since he obtained the status of a player.
Six seconds!
It only took six seconds from the opponent launching the attack to killing him!
And when he is full of blood and has the magic power of forty people...
In just six seconds, the opponent output at least three to four hundred spells, and none of them missed, they all hit him squarely.
Is this really something humans can do?
At this moment, the emperor suddenly felt more confused than ever before.
