Looking around on the right, he found that most people chose to watch the fight, and the target of their spectatorship was an outsider who was fighting with the Ant King.
Yes, fight alone.
However, there is a major problem, which is that it feels like there are fewer people on the right.
The missing people weren't people I knew, but they were missing too. Was it because I didn't keep up or...
He jumped off the right side of the black beast and quietly reached where Kurama Makoto and the others were gathered.
When Youfang successfully got within 10 meters behind them, Kurama suddenly moved, and a rose shot over. Youfang dodged it by just turning his head slightly.
However, when they saw that the person coming from the right was coming, the group of people subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"what's going on?"
The right side asked casually.
"This ant king has upgraded."
Kurama sighed, looking helpless.
"Ok?"
Youfang didn't quite understand what was said at first, but when he casually glanced around and found that other people also had helpless expressions, he knew that something special must have happened.
At this time, the right side once again turned his attention to the center of the field. A player wearing dark purple medieval knight armor, holding a sword in one hand and a submachine gun in one hand was fighting the Ant King 1V1.
[Name: Suzaku Kururugi]
【Sex: Male】
[Title: Knight on the Lake]
[School emblem: Ashford College, a private university]
[Occupation: high school student, pilot, knight]
[Container of the Heart: ???]
【companion:???】
[Plot Event: Battle of Promotion]
【System Comments: Cat Slave】
However, the Ant King who was fighting against Suzaku at this time was holding a black and white longbow, which was very abnormal.
Yes, a longbow, the kind used for archery. But looking at the amount of gas covered on this longbow, even if it is not used for shooting arrows and just for hitting people, it can probably easily blow someone's head off.
Different from what the right side imagined, the Ant King at this time was very delicate in combat and was avoiding close combat. Every time he pulled the bowstring, an arrow made entirely of air would be generated on the longbow and shot towards Suzaku from various tricky angles.
I was a little puzzled when I saw the way the ant king fought.
Is the Ant King a user of this type? Shouldn't he be a more violent melee fighter who can blow up other people with his tail?
Just by looking to the right for a while, I saw that the air arrow in the ant king's hand changed into several different colors.
But soon someone took the initiative to answer the question for Youfang.
Xiao You moved crookedly to Izumi Shinichi's shoulder, looking at the battlefield and the right with his two eyes, one in front and one behind, and then began to explain.
"Players are in a prisoner's dilemma situation and can't really unite together, so they choose to fight 1v1. It seems despicable, but in fact it is the only solution."
"The Black Star who had been shouting the loudest before was killed by the Ant King in one blow. A large bite was taken from his body. Then the Ant King seemed to have gained some new abilities. The nature of his aura changed subtly."
"The longbow was transformed from the guard that could split itself. When the ant king held the longbow, his energy suddenly surged, and his fighting style also changed from the previous violent melee to this typical archer fighting style. But I feel that this may be a test and integration of something."
Chapter 484: Kuma River Falls into a Trap
Black Star is a typical berserker assassin, and uses the soul wavelength used by all craftsmen from the "Death Butsuden" as his energy.
A healthy soul needs to be housed in a healthy body. Only when both are strong at the same time, the craftsman's soul wavelength will become stronger.
Generally speaking, the weapons held by craftsmen are partners or even companions of their race's "weapons". When the craftsmen fight with weapons in hand and the soul wavelengths between the two are harmonized and resonate, they can exert their greatest strength.
Well, the strength of the soul cannot change a person's way of thinking and behavior, so Black Star's soul wavelength is indeed rare and powerful, but he is a fool.
He was so stupid that he couldn't even realize that the Ant King was deliberately hiding his strength. Then when he happily grabbed the first qualification to fight the Ant King and stood in front of the Ant King, loudly declaring "I am the only one in the world", the Ant King suddenly attacked him and punched him in the head with all his strength. The speed was so fast that even his body couldn't react.
Such a quick and decisive death even makes people wonder how he managed to survive until now.
In fact, Black Star was very reliable when he was alone or with only his partner. This was why he was able to survive the last round, because he didn't encounter any players along the way.
But when there are a lot of other players around, he will start to act stupidly. You can say he is showing off in front of others, but the result, as everyone can see, is generally the same.
Although Black Star had adjusted his pain sensitivity to 1% due to the krypton gold, the headshot just now should have been equivalent to a bullet to the brain for Black Star who had already returned to the infirmary.
If many of the top 100 in the comprehensive score had not abstained from voting, it would not have been his turn at all.
Just look at KID’s expressionless face and you’ll know that it’s the same with or without him.
After he made the opening move, he officially activated the Ant King's ability as a BOSS.
The Ant King's telepathic ability is of the special type. If he were to perform the Mizumi-shiki ritual to test his ability, all the water in the quilt would disappear, as if it had been swallowed up by something in the void.
Devouring, this is the ability of the Ant King. When he devours other Nen users, he can strengthen his own Qi by devouring the opponent's flesh and blood, and there is even a chance that he can gain the ability of the Nen user.
This ability is naturally strengthened when facing players with various abilities.
After taking a bite of Black Star, the Ant King gained the ability to mobilize his own soul wavelength, but at the same time, it also activated some memories from his original period that should have been hidden deep in his soul.
The ability to materialize air arrows through telekinesis is a byproduct of recovering some of the original body's memories.
This ability is called "Seven Color Bow and Arrow".
Another interesting thing is that as an individual who can undergo nano-level changes, Owl Yapfu's submission and loyalty to the king are unquestionable. He is completely willing to serve the king in terms of body and soul. The king is heaven and everything.
This relationship caused Owl Yapfu's soul wavelength to automatically move closer to the domineering Ant King, forming a passive soul resonance, which once again enhanced the Ant King's strength.
Although no one in the crowd could fully see the existence of the Ant King's data panel, everyone still had some vision. The changes in the Ant King were obvious to all. Thinking about the Ant King's behavior of taking a bite of Black Star, it was not difficult to extend the association to the Ant King's ability to devour.
"So that's how you all look at it?"
Although Youfang said this, he had already taken out a big round watermelon from the bookmark. After a few flashes of light, the watermelon was perfectly divided into a bunch of half-moon pieces.
The old friends who were familiar with Youfang silently took the watermelon handed over by Youfang, took a bite, and it was sandy and sweet, as if it had been chilled.
The new friend who was not too familiar with the person on the right also started to eat the melon after seeing the person on the right and others eating it first.
So sweet~
At the same time, they also found that their heads were cooling down and their mental energy was recovering slowly and rapidly.
It seems that the real meaning of the right side should be "You just stand there and watch without even eating the melon?"
Youfang's gaze moved from the Ant King to the Suzaku. There was a very familiar fluctuation on the other's body.
It's Lancelot's fluctuation.
You must know that on the right there is a man holding the fragment of the Black Holy Grail, and there are also many remains of heroes in it, and among them happen to be the remains of Lancelot's heroic spirit that remained in the Fourth War. This familiar energy fluctuation can be seen at a glance on the right.
It seems that this Suzaku has been blessed with the Heroic Spirit Template of "Lancelot" in some way, and has become a mimic Servant-like existence.
The reason why he was able to hold out for so long was probably because the Ant King had not yet switched to combat form.
The air arrows released by the Ant King seemed to be very powerful, with red flame arrows, orange rapid arrows, and yellow lightning arrows, but in the final analysis they were still air bombs. They would not cause much damage to Suzaku, who had high magic resistance and was wearing a layer of what should be enchanted armor. If it was a heavy punch, the situation might be different.
However, Youfang felt that this Suzaku must have another trick up his sleeve. After all, a player who dared to take the initiative to fight after witnessing Black Star's sudden death on the spot was definitely not seeking death.
At this moment, a hand secretly reached out from the side to the remaining watermelon placed on the stone on the right, but a knife flashed by and the hand almost left its owner forever.
"I just want to eat a piece of your melon, why are you so stingy?"
Kumakawa, who had somehow mixed into the group of people on the right, looked very unhappy.
"My melon, I am happy with it."
He turned his head to the right and answered with confidence.
When he saw the blue eyes on the right staring at him, Kumakawa subconsciously shuddered all over.
For the first time since entering the game, Kumakawa truly felt what it meant to face death as he completed the story mission in the form of death.
"You can kill me."
Youfang was somewhat puzzled by Kumakawa's sudden remarks. However, when Youfang discovered that the lines and dots on Kumakawa's body reflected in his eyes were visibly fading, he realized that this might be related to what Kumakawa had just said.
The only problem is that although the lines and dots on Kuma River have become very faint and vague, they have not completely disappeared.
As the right side of the brain warms up slightly, these lines and dots return to their original state.
Seeing the sudden rise of malice from his right side, Kumakawa's expression changed uncontrollably.
At the same time, he also discovered that some other players around him were moving around to surround him intentionally or unintentionally.
Youfang threw away the melon peel in his hand, took out a tissue from somewhere, wiped his mouth and the knife, and then showed an innocent smile to Kuma River.
"Now that you're here, don't leave."
Chapter 485: Life is worse than death
Objectively speaking, the vast majority of players are the chosen ones and the protagonists in their respective campuses. Some players’ abilities are buggy from the very beginning, but relatively speaking, the dangers they face will be much higher than those faced by ordinary players.
In most cases, the player's existing abilities are sufficient to handle the situation in their own campus as long as they are used reasonably. However, when the player appears in other areas and comes into contact with other players, the collision between abilities begins.
The Mystic Death Eyes on the right can kill everything within its field of vision.
Kuma River's outrageous lie can be used to invalidate all objective facts.
However, in terms of versatility, Big Lie is much more versatile than Mystic Death Perception, and its specific effects are also very diverse. But precisely because of its versatility, it is not as targeted as Mystic Death Perception. In terms of skill effect priority, Big Lie is slightly inferior.
Kuma River has not yet fully realized this fact.
In fact, Youfang and other players have no idea what Kumakawa did to Xiaomai, and Kumakawa is also completely unaware of the specific effect of Youfang's Death Perception Eyes, but there is one thing that everyone is very clear about.
That is, they all hate this player named Kumakawa.
If you ask everyone to choose between being a noob, a drag, a hindrance, and a traitor, then more than 90% of people will choose to be a damn traitor.
The food doesn’t matter, just be honest and obedient.
It doesn’t matter if you fall behind, those who are capable will give you a hand.
It doesn't matter if you make things worse, at least you have the intention to help. After being beaten and learning the correct way to help, you can become a good teammate.
The only thing people want to do is to get rid of a traitor at the first opportunity. A dead traitor is a good traitor.
Even if the players who survived the last round didn't watch the battle video of the last round to pieces, they would at least fast forward to watch the beginning and the end. In addition to being speechless about the mechanical Scourge on the right, they were disgusted by Kuma River's backstabbing behavior.
Kumakawa should feel honored to be tagged by so many players at the same time.
When he first found himself surrounded by other people, Kumakawa didn't care. In a sense, he was even looking forward to a fight from this group of people, getting beaten, recovering quickly, and inflicting group damage. As long as he could get beaten many times before this group of people could really react, then even if he couldn't kill these people in seconds, he could at least make some players with relatively low health count low. So at this moment, he was just using lies to heal his own injuries.
Pain and happiness.
Then his eyes went dark and he saw the scene he least wanted to see.
"Does this guy have a skill like Thorn Aura? I feel like if I hit him, the damage will bounce back."
"You were also hurt? I lost three hearts directly."
"Me too, is it a fixed damage?"
"I didn't attack and was injured? This is unscientific!"
"Is he dead?"
"It seems that he is not dead. The ranking list is still there."
"Weird..."
A group of people gathered around Kumakawa, who was lying on the ground with a knife stuck in the middle of his forehead and a strange smile on his face, and started discussing. They also took out the food they had saved and started eating it.
Everyone is very interested in the abilities displayed by Kuma River, specifically his extremely strange recovery ability.
Whether it was the extreme lava burns from the Roaring Earth or the lashing from the Rose Whip that was powerful enough to tear steel, although both left obvious burn and cut marks on Kumakawa's body, all of his injuries were healed almost the next moment, and even his torn clothes were restored to their original state.
Rather than saying it was a high-speed recovery, it was more like it was erasing the attack they had previously launched on Kuma River.
Despite these attacks, Kumakawa showed no signs of falling down until he was hit right between the eyebrows and then he fell to the ground like a living dead.
It was also at this time that everyone, whether they had made a move or not, found themselves hurt. Three red hearts fell silently, and everyone lost three hearts.
