This will not be a protracted battle, as both Lu Ning and Nimophis know very well. The moment the two of them fought, Lu Ning realized that the demonic state gave Nimophis powerful strength and defense, and Nimophis also encountered the ice that quickly froze on the surface of Lu Ning's skin.
The sharp claws only grabbed a few pieces of ice, but Lu Ning's sword was enough to tear the demon's skin.
"The strong and weak have been divided. Is there no backup plan?" Lu Ning opened her hand and pressed it directly to Nimophis's face.
"You probably don't have the ability to fly yet."
With these words, Nimophis spread his wings and rushed into the air. At the same time, green flames burned in his hands. The flames grew bigger and bigger as they beat regularly, and soon turned into two balls about the size of a football. Fireball.
Lu Ning's eyes flashed, and the pocket watch dropped from his fingers. Time locked everything in the present, and at the same time, the unstable freezing air in the air turned into ice flakes when Lu Ning raised his hand. In normal times, these ice pieces are naturally fragile, but when stopped, they are enough to be used as ladders.
"Eighty-four seconds, eighty-three seconds..."
As she climbed up the stairs towards Nemophis, Lu Ning silently counted the seconds left. She no longer cared about how many of these props were left. After all, they were all things that could not be taken away. Now she just needed to pay a little attention. Check the stock. At the same time, this can also be regarded as a countdown to Nimophis' death.
She had already circled behind Nimophis.
"You can move, don't try to deceive me."
At this moment, Nimophis suddenly turned his head and pressed the huge green fireball in his hands directly towards Lu Ning's face!
"You left no stars at all."
Lu Ning punched into the flames. The green demonic fire was not something that the crimson suit on her arm could withstand. It immediately burned on her skin, and the burning pain immediately spread across her body, but this close range The punch within hit Nimophis's thrown arm without any error.
The raging green flames seemed to be guided by something, and rolled back towards Nimophis.
"Damage reflex? You got something good."
Nimophis raised his arms, and the flames began to flow through his body.
"But this flame can't hurt only demons! As long as I'm still in demon form, I won't be able to - poof!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
"It's not a reflection, it's a transfer." Lu Ning stood on the ice flakes in the air. The other hand on his chest was released. The wound penetrated by the wooden stick "Earth Rejuvenation" had healed quickly, and the stick had already stabbed Entered Nimophis's chest.
Nimophis opened his eyes wide and fell from the air. A dark pocket watch was thrown out from his waist, and it hit the ice piece, making a loud collision sound. The demon's vitality is no longer at the level that can be killed by piercing the heart, but Lu Ning will definitely not maintain that crude killing method at this moment.
A burning feeling surged out from the wound in his heart, and immediately, his whole body felt like it was on fire.
"The flame... is out of control... you..."
"You are evolving into a new life form. It may be stronger, but it will definitely not be a demon." Lu Ning lifted the time pause, and the ice flakes accompanying the sky fell lightly to the ground.
——"Fifty-five seconds."
"It was amazing to block all possible countermeasures at that moment." Nimophis sighed from his chest, "Your ultimate goal is to let me be burned to death by my own flames."
Lu Ning raised her hand and set up an ice shield. The green flames were thrown out by Nimophis and fell like meteors all over the sky. The corridor gradually began to burn. Nimophis stood there with his whole body on fire and did not continue to attack. .
"It's probably impossible to extinguish this flame?" Lu Ning looked at him.
"Yes...unless it's Shi Ming and the others who handle it. So what does it matter?"
"You are compressing our living space."
"If you want to be a villain, you have to go to the end, at least..." Nimophis raised an arm that has evolved into a white bone arm blade, "...I want you to have to face something."
Lu Ning frowned instantly, and stepped in front of Mao You and others. His pupils turned, and Hu Jian's vision suddenly expanded.
It was deathly gray, everything within the field of vision turned into deathly gray, and Nimophis' arm with a deathly color directly fell down, cutting off his own head.
"This is my curse... It's a pity that I can't rely on the terrain to fight you with all my strength. In that case, please wait for the dusk to come. I will be waiting for you at the end of dusk, Lu."
The head fell to the ground and he stared at Lu Ning. After saying this with a weird smile, the green flames suddenly rolled in the head. Lu Ning only saw that the flesh and fur on his head were burned away in an instant, leaving only a completely alienated skull.
"Lu! The situation is not good!"
Kogami Rinko shouted to Lu Ning that the elevator on her side had been locked, not because of the sticker, but because of some unknown interference and could not be used at all.
"Open the door and go to the garden next to Xu Qi." Lu Ning said in a deep voice.
Nimophis's intention was obvious. His final sacrifice locked all the elevator shafts in the garden. Among all the places known to everyone, only the location of the escape point was completely unknown, and it was impossible to rely on it between the gardens. relative position to shuttle.
Moreover, this guy had a temperament that was as long as he could harm others, regardless of whether it was beneficial or not. The flames almost burned all the props he had exchanged for him, and there really was nothing left for Lu Ning except the pause meter that fell out. Lu Ning picked up the watch and saw that the time was almost full, which meant that this guy must have spent all the stars before the battle.
"I can only hope that he didn't change the save point in advance." Lu Ning was the last to step into the hole made by the void, and soon the scenery in front of her changed, and she returned to the Spring Garden where the temperature was still mild.
After taking a short breath, Lu Ning immediately started the "Heart Voice" scan, and the number of people scanned this time decreased by two, which meant that Nimophis was probably really dead.
At this moment, the eyes once again transformed into the shape of a brain.
"Uh... I should have asked a quack doctor before." Lu Ning rubbed her temples and looked up in the garden. It was quiet and no one was there.
"Lu, Cheng Wuling said that if you have time, you can go to the Beehive." Gan Xu quickly spoke, "She said she left some information in her old place."
old place? honeycomb?
Lu Ning understood immediately, nodded, and quickly led a few people to the No. 2 courtyard where the hive was located.
No obstacles were encountered along the way, as if Dahan's servants and leaders had also disappeared. Lu Ning successfully found the room where the calendar and notes were before and opened the drawer. This time there was a folded letter in it.
"Why did she start this thing again?" Lu Ning picked up the letter and opened it. On it was Cheng Wuling's neat and featureless font.
[If you don’t break it from the inside, attack it from the outside. Try it in your mind and give it a try. 】
Lu Ning watched for a long time and saw that Cheng Wuling had never given up her plan to try the fifth crisis, but her idea was really... starting to take risks.
"There's no need to go to this step." Lu Ning folded the letter and put it back. She glanced at the drawer and found that there were some analysis diagrams engraved at the bottom, which were generally similar to the analysis she heard from Gu Li. It seems that Cheng Wuling also thought that the mastermind might be the S-class weapon itself.
"Anything gained?" Maoyou asked.
"Cheng Wuling found a possible way to deal with the fifth crisis, but I don't want to follow." Lu Ning shook her head and said, "I originally felt that the differences between us were getting bigger and bigger, and she came to the same conclusion. The response I got was this, which made me see our fundamental differences.”
Gan Xu and Kogami Rinko looked at each other and said nothing.
"You seem...a little relieved." Mao You looked at Lu Ning.
"It's nothing, I have some things to think about. Generally speaking, I have gained enough from this scene, so it can be considered settled."
"No! We still have to face the final crisis!"
"We definitely can't win. Even if Cheng Wuling has other ways to attack, the mastermind won't care about the loss of just a petri dish." Lu Ning glanced at Mao You, "Finish your mission now. Everyone changes keys and prepares to leave immediately after the elevator blockade ends. Nimophis cannot permanently block the escape point even if he sacrifices his life."
"okay!"
Finally, Mao You's luck was not so unlucky that new tasks were stuck in crisis, and he almost completed all the tasks within a short time. During this period, the four of them also met several companions. After conveying questions about Nimophis to each other, they immediately went to work on accumulating stars.
When Mao You got the key card, they met Lewanska and Fu Junnian in the Summer Garden.
"It seems that everyone has achieved their goal." Fu Junnian held the key card and looked obviously happy.
"How long until the elevator is unlocked?"
"I don't know, it was still locked when I just checked, which is a bit troublesome." Lewanska said with some worry.
"I think it's almost the limit. The elevator should be lifted before the crisis, otherwise we will really be forced to go head-to-head with Shi Ming and the others." Mao You muttered.
"That's not the problem, Lu, have you realized something that might get us stuck?"
"Huh?" Lu Ning raised his eyebrows. After carefully thinking about all the details, he finally thought of something that might cause the plan to collapse.
"Detachment point?"
"There are six escape points in total, and none of us have used one yet. I originally wanted to ask Helena, but they have been missing. If the escape process is not completed in an instant..."
"Hey! Doesn't that mean someone is going to stay behind?" Mao You was shocked.
"Or in another case, it would be terrible if that thing had a cooling time." Rinko Kogami said with a somewhat cold expression, "I'm afraid we have to fight hard for the first six cabins to be used."
"So you need to arrange the order?" Lu Ning asked.
"Sequence is one thing, and in the meantime, we have to fight those three guys," Lewanska said.
"Fight? Isn't it concluded that if you don't fight, you may die slower?" Mao You asked doubtfully.
"Did you consider their non-combatant suppression according to the usual tactical strike calculation method?" Lewanska frowned.
Lu Ning nodded, and then realized that her thinking in that way was indeed a bit shallow. She was still not as good as Cheng Wuling or Lewanska in this kind of overall thinking.
"Duan Yunxiu's light arrow attack is combined with Shan Lianmei's switching teleportation point. The ultimate goal is to suppress the escape point. The area there is very small. As long as an arrow is shot randomly and the effective range remains more than one kilometer, then the escape point will be suppressed. Everyone in the point may be wiped out. In order to avoid this problem, we must either keep these two people at war at any time, or we cannot stay in the escape point and wait for it to be used again. And the biggest thing back inside the Four Seasons Garden is The problem is that we have to face the crisis monster and these two people who wander around at any time, which is an endless cycle."
"..."
"Where is Ming then?" Mao You asked eagerly.
"Shi Ming is obviously a fill-in condition. If you really fight her, you will probably die, and the speed of death will definitely be faster than a person dying in five minutes. I don't like to use anything to measure life, but this time I still let Let me make an exception...I think five minutes of a life is a reasonable price."
After Lewanska finished speaking, everyone looked a little more solemn.
"Is there any way to deal with it?"
"There is no way to escape, just to fight hard. The most reasonable thing is to stay behind with the stronger ones, everyone brings save points to fight to death, the pause table forces time delay, and the script... props below level five are really useless. "
"But how many people actually have fifth-level props now? Even if there are, there aren't many left." Lu Ning only has two or three of them, most of which are trophies, and the people who look around are also Who can spare the money after just buying the keys?
"I can stay." Kogami Rinko raised her hand and said, "Although I can't help much in the battle, I have the remaining stars."
"Where did you get the remaining stars!" Gan Xu looked at her in panic, "Don't be so pretentious!"
"I killed Hofinger. He has a lot of stars in his account. I only need to do two more tasks to exchange for two level five props. At worst, I will use six lives to forcefully drag the body." Rinko Kogami said nonchalantly, "They are all here. It’s the final battle, and it’s time to realize what you have to give.”
"We will need you." Lewanska glanced at Rinko Kogami carefully, "Thank you."
