[You face the devil without fear, holding the eclipse scepter, and activate the 'Tengu Eclipse Moon'. 】
[Along with a distant whine, in the sky where the bright moon hung high, an illusory alien figure stepped on the dark clouds and suddenly arrived, opened its huge mouth, and gnawed on the full moon. 】
[Clouds surged in the sky, thunder rolled, and the wind roared on the ground. The land originally illuminated by the moonlight quickly dimmed. 】
[You look up and see that the full moon is being eaten away by the tengu at a speed visible to the naked eye. This makes you, who believes in the moon god, all the moon phase enhancements in your body disappear, and you become extremely weak. 】
[The Demon King roared, seeming to feel the pressure from the alien beast in the sky, and rushed towards you anxiously. your choice……】
【You choose to escape! 】
[You activated the Wind God Step, your speed greatly increased, you turned around and started to escape from the Demon King. 】
[You have committed the crime of laziness! The attributes of your whole body are declining rapidly, but under the protection of the Fengshen boots, your speed has not weakened at all. 】
[Finding that you are avoiding fighting, the devil becomes even more angry and chases you at full speed. 】
[Your speed is slightly slower than the Demon King. Between chasing and escaping, the distance between you and the Demon King is gradually shortening...]
Mu You looked helpless. The Fengshen Boots can lock the speed without decreasing, but the locked speed depends on Muyou's own Fengshen level.
Mu You had already experimented in one of his previous attempts. If he raised the levels of Fengshen and Fengshen Steps to 10 stars, and then 'gifted' the speed-limiting equipment to the Demon King, he would be able to guarantee that he would be able to run away from the Demon King throughout the entire process.
Unfortunately, although his clearance process this time has been relatively extreme, it is still not completely perfect after all. As a result, he lacks faith. The level and magic of the Wind God are slightly weaker, and he can still be caught up by the Demon King at this moment.
Fortunately, this one has the 'probability of failure' provided by the Grudge Doll, so even if he is caught up by the Demon King, he still has a chance to escape the attack.
[The devil has finally caught up with you! The Demon King raised his hand and launched the magic "Demon King's Claw" towards you...]
[The Grudge Doll is excited and trying to curse the Demon King. The current probability of taking effect is: 11.3%. 】
[Curse failed! You were struck by the demon king's claw, and the terrifying force caused your liver and gallbladder to rupture, your internal organs to shift, and you were seriously injured in an instant! Current life: 55027/83027】
[The life percentage difference between you and the Demon King exceeds 30%, you have committed the crime of jealousy! The 'fire of jealousy' is burning in your heart, and your life is continuing to pass...]
"Backtrack!"
This thing can take away nearly a third of his life with one claw, which is really outrageous!
Mu You hurriedly started over according to the schedule.
The probability of the Grudge Doll taking effect depends on the difference in all attributes between the two parties. The current probability is as high as 11%, which is not too difficult to trigger.
What Mu You is really worried about is what to do next? Because the Sin of Sloth continues to burn his attributes, this probability will inevitably become lower and lower in the future, and in the end it may be reduced to a point that is enough to make one's head bald.
I have no choice but to persevere for now...
[The curse is successful! The cursed doll appeared and climbed behind the devil. With a ferocious laugh, it transformed into a troublemaker and acted wildly on the devil. Under its obstruction, the devil's attack missed, and a claw blasted into the ground beside you. 】
[You were unharmed and took the opportunity to distance yourself! 】
…
"Okay, that's it!"
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could keep this rhythm, it would be over after ten minutes.
Mu You glanced at the stopwatch on the table beside him. The stopwatch is counting down to 600 seconds. It was pressed exactly at the moment when the lunar eclipse was activated. There are now 583 seconds left.
In other words, the current Demon King can catch up with him approximately every fifteen seconds.
However, this number can be amplified as the Demon King later steals the deceleration props he carefully prepared.
Mu You stared at the text intently.
The countdown quickly reached 540 seconds, and after one minute of cooling down, the Demon King indeed activated 'Greed' again.
Muyou decisively rolled the deceleration device.
[The devil committed the crime of greed, and your 'heavy armor' was taken away by the devil. 】
[The heavy carapace slows down the Demon King a bit, but he is still slowly approaching you...]
…
Mu You made special statistics this time and found that the time it took for the Demon King to catch up with him has now been extended to nearly nineteen seconds, which is a significant increase. Moreover, there will be other deceleration props in the future, and it will become increasingly difficult for the Demon King to chase him!
[...The Demon King notices that his speed has slowed down, and he suddenly transforms into a beautiful young girl, casting a seductive look at you. One glance will make your mind agitated and your steps frivolous. You have committed the sin of lust, and all attributes have been reduced...]
The Demon King is recovering again, but it doesn't matter. With the Aeolian Boots around, his speed will not be affected whether his attributes drop or not.
The description of the Aeolian Boots is 'When the speed drops for the first time in combat, the current speed is locked. 'The description does not mention the effective time, so it should be able to last for a whole game.
[The curse is successful! The Grudge Doll appeared... Under its obstruction, the Demon King's attack failed again. 】
[You were unharmed and took the opportunity to distance yourself again! 】
…
[The devil committed the sin of greed, and your 'shambling sheep's head staff' was taken away by the devil. The center of gravity of the sheep-head staff swayed from side to side, making it difficult for the devil to maintain balance, and his speed slowed down again...]
…
The next battle began to proceed according to Mu You's expected process. He kited the Demon King throughout the whole process and kept circling in the not-so-large area at the top of the tower. At the same time, he used his pocket watch to avoid the Demon King's occasional attacks, and then every one minute , 'give' it a negative prop.
The only thing that worries Mu You is that his attributes have been reduced to an unbearable level due to the continuous weakening of the sins of laziness and lust.
The direct impact of the reduction in attributes is that the probability of triggering the Grudge Doll continues to decrease, making it increasingly difficult for Mu You to dodge the Demon King's attacks.
[...You looked at the sky while escaping, and witnessed the process of the last ray of moonlight being swallowed up by the Tengu. The entire full moon was completely swallowed up by the black shadow, leaving only a dark red ring, and the entire earth became pitch black. . The moonlight has completely disappeared, and your weakness has reached its extreme...]
Mu You glanced, and the countdown finally passed five minutes. The lunar eclipse was halfway through, the moon was completely dark, and the next step was the process of the Tengu spitting out the moon.
Mu You continued to play steadily, sneaking around the demon king.
[The devil has caught up with you again! The devil raised his hand and attacked you...]
[The Grudge Doll is excited... The current probability of taking effect: 0.1%. 】
[The curse is successful! The Demon King's attack failed, and you took the opportunity to distance yourself...]
…
After escaping another attack, Mu You's face turned a little solemn, because he had to retrace the attack more than a thousand times before finally triggering it.
The key point is that this is just the beginning. As time goes by, this probability will definitely continue to decline. If it continues at this rate, he can't imagine how low the probability will be later.
…
Facts have proved that Mu You's guess was correct.
In the next two minutes, faced with five attacks from the Demon King, Mu You pressed his watch and almost vomited.
Especially in the last two times, the trigger probability of the Grudge Doll has dropped to less than 0.01%, which means that he needs to backtrack more than 10,000 times on average to succeed once!
What makes him even more desperate is that only seven minutes have passed, and his attributes will continue to decline. The next three minutes will basically be in this semen and dirt mode, and the number of backtrackings will continue to increase!
Mu You's scalp was already numb just thinking about it.
[...The Demon King failed to attack again. He roared in annoyance and reached out to grab the laughing kid on the back of the neck. Unfortunately, the Cursed Doll nimbly avoided the Demon King's capture and quickly retracted into the prop. 】
[At this moment, the bright moon in the sky is being slowly spit out by the Tengu, and the earth becomes bright again. The Demon King seems to have finally realized the crisis! 】
[The Demon King looked at you who was running away like crazy. This time, he did not choose to continue chasing you. Instead, he suddenly raised the Demon King's claws and grabbed his own heart! 】
[As green blood spurts out, the Demon King's life begins to decrease rapidly...]
"Huh?"
Mu You was stunned.
He was having a headache as to how to spend the next three minutes. Why did the Demon King suddenly stop chasing him and started to harm himself?
[...The Demon King completely ignored you and stood still. The Demon King's claws pierced into his heart again and again, and his health dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye...]
What the hell, the devil has given up on himself?
Mu You frowned. This weird scene made him feel like he had overlooked something.
Until half a minute later...
[The Demon King's health dropped below 70%! 】
[The difference between the life percentages between the devil and you is greater than 30%. The devil has committed the sin of jealousy. The devil's jealousy ignites in your heart, burning violently, and your life begins to decline rapidly! 】
"etc……"
Mu You suddenly opened his eyes and finally understood what the devil wanted to do!
The sin of jealousy, this ability that has been ignored by Mu You before, has the effect that as long as the life percentage difference between the two parties is 30%, whether the Demon King has more than him or he has more than the Demon King, the result will be that he loses blood until the life gap returns again. Within 30%!
If this is just the case, forget it. If the Demon King wants to use this method to make him burn blood, he must first lose the blood himself and actively widen the blood volume gap to 30%, so this method cannot kill Mu You, because even if Even if the Demon King mutilates himself until he only has 0.1% of his life left, Mu You's life bar will remain at 30% and will not drop any further.
The problem is that the Demon King can quickly recover his health through the Sin of Gluttony, but at the same time, under the suppression of the Sin of Gluttony, all the enemies of the Demon King cannot restore their health by any means!
This means that Mu You's health bar dropped a little during this battle and could never be recovered, but the Demon King could drag him into the water and then return to full health through gluttony.
At this time, since the life gap between the two parties is once again greater than 30%, the sin of jealousy will take effect again and continue to burn Mu You's life until he is completely burned to death by the fire of jealousy!
"Nima, this is too shameless!"
After coming back to his senses, Mu You suddenly cursed secretly.
Only now did he realize that there was such a loophole hidden in his seemingly unsolvable 'lunar eclipse' style of play!
But what surprised him even more - shouldn't this Demon King be a virtual character simulated by the Tower of Brave? Such a virtual character actually knows how to judge risks and bugs?
Just now, the Demon King had obviously realized that Mu You had the ability to forcefully trigger the cursed doll. It would be useless for him to continue to pursue him, so he urgently changed his tactics.
[The Demon King saw your life finally starting to slip away, showing a cruel smile, and stabbed his body harder with his claws...]
[The devil's life has dropped below 50%, your life has dropped below 80%...]
[The devil's life has dropped below 30%, your life has dropped below 60%...]
[The devil's life has dropped below 10%, your life has dropped below 40%...]
[The Demon King stopped his self-mutilation, looked at you with a sneer, and quickly rushed to a dining table in the center of the tower. As the Demon King sat down, countless delicacies suddenly appeared on the dining table...]
[The Demon King completely ignored you and began to feast, his health being restored quickly...]
…
Sure enough, things started to develop according to his prediction.
Mu You can't do anything now. His attributes have been reduced to the point where he is unable to launch any attacks. He can only watch the Demon King eat and regain blood.
The question now is, is there enough time for the devil to complete his plan?
There were about 100 seconds left on the clock, and Mu You made a quick calculation in his mind.
The recovery speed of Gluttony on the Demon King's side is 1% per second. It only needs to recover to more than 70% before it is Mu You's turn to lose blood. And as the life gap between the two parties becomes larger, the fire of jealousy will burn more intensely. , Muyou will lose blood faster...
Mu You soon discovered that calculations were useless, because he had no idea how quickly the fire of jealousy would burn his life, and he could only wait.
Soon, sixty seconds passed.
When the time came to the last 42 seconds of the countdown, the Demon King's life recovered to more than 70%, and Mu You's life began to burn again.
At this moment, the Demon King was still stopping at the dining table to overeat and continue to recover his life, trying to speed up the burning speed of the fire of jealousy as much as possible.
Mu You hurriedly looked back at the stopwatch dozens of times, and at the same time wrote down the specific value of the blood volume drop during this period, and finally figured out the pattern of jealousy's fire burning blood.
What made him relieved was that even if the Demon King continued to eat too much until he regained his full blood, the last little time would not be enough to burn out his life. In the end, he would probably still have about 3% of his life left!
"In this way, it should be over..."
Mu You let out a sigh of relief. Now there are only the last thirty seconds left in the countdown. As long as the Demon King doesn't do anything else, then...
"Depend on!"
Mu You cursed out when he was halfway through the thought, because the text suddenly changed again.
[The gluttonous devil suddenly became anxious again! 】
[While the devil is eating, he is also paying attention to your life and the changes in the bright moon in the sky. As the situation gradually becomes clearer, it seems to have finally realized that it will not be able to kill you if it continues to eat, because it will be devoured by the Tengu before you! 】
[The Demon King suddenly roared, overturned the dining table, stepped over the food on the floor, and rushed towards you quickly! 】
"Gan!"
Mu You's eyes twitched and he hurriedly asked the character to escape again.
However, the top of the tower is only so big. No matter how far he runs, he is just circling the Demon King. According to the Demon King's previous speed, it only takes more than twenty seconds to catch up with him.
In other words, he will definitely be attacked by the devil again before the lunar eclipse ends!
Thinking of this, Mu You hurriedly clicked on the 'Grudge Doll' in the text above, wanting to confirm what the current probability of triggering the curse was.
result……
[The Grudge Doll is excited, the current probability of triggering the curse: 0%. 】
? ? ?
Mu You almost thought he had made a mistake. Why was it 0%? Can this probability directly become 0?
But after thinking for a moment, he quickly realized: it was because he was bleeding!
Life was originally the only relatively intact attribute on Muyou's panel, but now he was burned down to residual health by the Demon King's tricks. Naturally, the gap between him and the Demon King was once again magnified. In the end, the quantitative change caused a qualitative change, which led to the curse. The probability returns directly to zero...
Thinking of this, Mu You hurriedly went back in time and equipped all the props on his body that could support attributes, hoping to bring the probability back.
Unfortunately, there are very few props that directly add attributes. Muyou rotated all the high-end equipment, but the probability is still 0.
It wasn't until Mu You accidentally replaced the 'Lucky Dice' with a piece of equipment during his experiment that the text of the Grudge Doll finally changed.
The lucky dice must be installed in the props slot in the Tower of Brave to be effective. Mu You rarely wears them because the effect is too weak and is far less useful than an artifact or a hidden relic.
But I didn't expect that in this moment of near despair, this humble prop would come into play!
[The Grudge Doll is excited, the current probability of triggering the curse: 0.0001% (bottom probability)]
Probability of bottoming out!
In other words, it is not that adding this dice directly amplifies the probability by 0.0001, but because this is already the smallest number that the probability can display!
Mu You suddenly remembered the Heart of the Forest. The percentage value displayed by the Core of the Forest was also to four decimal places. It seemed that this was the rule of the star spirit world. All statistical values could only be to four decimal places.
However, Mu You couldn't be happy because, 0.0001%, which is equivalent to one in a million...
A traceback of every ten seconds is one millionth, which is equivalent to an average of 2777 hours, 115 days, or nearly 4 months for a trigger! Nearly four months of non-stop clockwork, without any distractions on the way...
Mu You suddenly recalled the fear of being controlled by the witch's door lock!
Moreover, the difficulty of this matter now is twenty times more difficult than opening the witch's door lock...
Mu You didn't know what to say for a moment, and he had no time to hesitate. At this time, the devil's attack had arrived.
[The devil has caught up with you! The devil raised his hand and attacked you...]
[The Grudge Doll is excited... The current probability of taking effect: 0.0001%. 】
[Curse failed! The devil will slap you to death on the spot with one claw...]
"Looking back..."
Mu You sighed, pressed his pocket watch, and began a long journey back.
In his current life, he will die if he is wiped out by the devil. The only hope here is to rely on the cursed doll to survive.
However, Mu You didn't just sit there stupidly and mechanically press the clock for four months without sleep, which would turn his brain into mush. Instead, he put on his vampire skin, activated 'Super Speed', and went to the study. I brought a bunch of messy books over.
Anyway, this period of time is idle, so why not use your speed to enlarge the time and use it for reading or something.
Retrace every ten seconds. When you get tired of pressing, you can enter the 'speed' state to read a book, take a break, and distract yourself.
A speed session lasts for a full eighteen minutes. If Mu You sets an alarm clock, he doesn't have to worry about delaying the clock setting because he's so absorbed in reading, let alone forgetting to miss it because his brain has turned to mush under long-term mechanical action. Game results.
After dealing with it this way, the backtracking process finally became a lot easier to accept.
Moreover, I don’t know if it was because of the blessing given by the fairies before that directly doubled his luck. Mu You’s luck this time was quite good. In fact, it was far from going back as long as a million times. It was probably backtracking. After about 170,000 or 80,000 times, the results came out directly.
Mu You closed the book in his hand and looked at the game screen.
[The devil has caught up with you! The devil raised his hand and attacked you...]
[The curse is successful! The Demon King missed with a claw, his eyes were bloodshot in annoyance, and veins popped up all over his body. You took the opportunity to distance yourself...]
Then the Demon King began to chase him again, but time had come to an end and the Demon King had no chance to attack him a second time.
Finally, the countdown on the table ran out to the last second and completely reset to zero!
[The lunar eclipse is over, and above the sky, the bright full moon emits a dazzling light, illuminating the earth again! Bathed in the moonlight, as a believer of the moon, you have regained your strength! 】
[The phantom of a tengu roared towards him and bit the demon king. 】
[The Demon King let out a miserable howl, his body shattered inch by inch, and he fell straight to the ground. 】
[The Demon King died tragically on the spot, and the 'Grudge Doll' and 'Humility Commandment' on his body automatically separated from the body and flew to a certain floor under the Brave Tower, waiting to be discovered by the Brave next time. 】
[Congratulations, you successfully killed the Demon King and became the first brave man to clear the Tower of Brave! 】
【You have obtained the status of 'The Fool'. 】
[As the first person to pass the 'Tower of Fool Server No. 2', you have obtained the administrator qualification of this server, and one of your causal lines is automatically connected to the Mountain of Creation. 】
…
At the same time, a series of other prompts popped up below, as well as a server-wide prompt announcing that someone had cleared the level.
But Mu You had no time to pay attention to other fragmentary prompts, and all his attention was focused on the last one.
"Tower of Fools...server?"
Mu You looked at this item in surprise, so this tower is essentially a 'server'?
What does the 'administrator' at the end mean? There is also the Mountain of Creation. Could it be referring to the Mountain of Creation?
