Chapter 77 76. I hope you have the same attitude towards your own life! 【1660】
(Additional update for brother ‘Huo Zheng is very good’ [1/20])
It has been several days since Murphy triggered the test of strength, but he has been unable to find a suitable target in Cadman City, which is full of things to do.
After Jade appeared, Murphy threatened the eldest lady that if she did not cooperate, he would use her as his "black iron evidence", but that was just an artistic and exaggerated threat. In fact, after Jade appeared and
The moment he tried to take advantage of Murphy, this pretentious guy was branded with a certain label in Murphy's heart.
Although using a silver-level vampire as the target of the Black Iron Trial is obviously too exaggerated and inflated.
But in the current situation, Murphy felt that he had no chance of winning.
In this remote place in the ruins of the outer city, dim sunlight continued to shine through the cracks in the thin black smoke. While the ashes on the ground were wandering, Murphy, holding the Blade of Desire Ethnic, moved toward
In front of him, Jed, who was holding up his ragged wings, threw out a reconnaissance.
The feedback information formed an information label that moved with Jade in front of his eyes:
Status: Fragile and easily injured, mental stress, physical collapse, natural entanglement, deepening pain, day curse
Rating: extremely dangerous
"You are really seriously injured. Although I don't know what kind of torture you suffered in the Blood Vulture Corridor, just looking at your wailing body and terrible wrinkles, I know that you have lived a miserable life during this period."
Murphy stared at the wounds on Jed's chest that were pierced by the green hunting arrows and were completely unable to heal and were still dripping with blood. He deflected his wrist and made a sword show, and whispered:
"However, we are all midnight nobles with status. Why don't we skip the boring and vulgar battle and let me help you relieve this long-term pain.
You no longer have to go through the ignominy of struggling, and I save some precious time.
What do you think?"
"Haha, it turns out that under the disguise of mediocrity, there is such an arrogant and crazy soul hidden? Tris is really blind!"
Jade wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He stood up with the tomb ritual black blade of the tomb sword guard decorated with ebony flowers and night bats, and recovered the tattered blood wings behind him. Although there would be blood dripping with every step he took, this guy's momentum at this time
But he kept rising in anger.
His bloodshot eyes stared at Murphy and said hoarsely:
"I am very weak! I feel that the next moment I will return to midnight and enter eternal silence, but that is not something a reptile like you is brave enough to humiliate!
Come on, Murphy, you better find a few more people.
For example, your mistress hiding in the dark, your little bitch and the poisonous woman Femis, let her come with you!
This way you still have some chance of winning."
"It's so disgraceful! Master Jed, an elegant gentleman like you shouldn't say such vulgar words, and as you said, I also want to find help."
Murphy sighed and said:
"It's a pity that this is the black iron trial I chose for myself. I can only complete it alone. I will sacrifice your noble strong blood to Midnight and the Fierce Sun, so that I can truly embark on this path of power.
You are the perfect sacrifice I have chosen in my pursuit of strength.
So, from now on, please bring the consciousness and dignity of being a sacrifice."
"!"
After hearing Murphy say this, Jed suddenly felt that he had been severely humiliated again.
This bastard!
He actually regarded himself as a test of strength. Where did he get the courage?
"die!"
Jed growled.
Under the call of the tomb sword guard, the cold dark spiritual energy gathered the gloomy edge on the ceremonial sword, and with an almost flickering skill attack, Murphy was about to be chopped in front of his eyes.
He has confidence!
There is no way that such a little bastard, who doesn't even have the strength of black iron, can block this decisive blow that has accumulated hundreds of years of experience and strength!
Murphy really didn't have the confidence to overwhelm Jed in a head-on battle, but after he repeatedly studied the rules of the Trial of Strength, he realized that there were actually "loopholes" that could be exploited in this rule that seemed to allow no tricks.
"Snapped"
With the help of the dark pace, he kept sliding to distance himself while waving his left hand backward. Femis, who was hiding high behind, saw this agreed gesture.
She hesitated.
Because such intervention does not seem to be in line with the principles of the Black Iron Trial. However, thinking about it carefully, I did not really intervene in the death battle between the two people below. I just
The eldest lady was very hesitant, but still followed Murphy's previous instructions, focusing her remaining spiritual energy on the secret energy staff, and pointed the head of the staff carved by night bats towards the sky.
Psychic shock and strong wind!
freed!
"boom"
With a muffled sound like an air cannon, the thick psychic energy shot straight into the sky and exploded in the thin layer of astral smoke under the precise control of the eldest lady.
It was like a pair of rough hands tearing open the curtain that blocked the sun.
The next moment, the dazzling golden sun poured down like a waterfall.
The golden beam of light illuminated the entire block below like a stage spotlight in the torn smoke hole. Jed, who was caught off guard, and Murphy, who was well prepared, were simultaneously included in the sun's scolding at this moment:
This is a world of light, no evil spirits are allowed to set foot!
"hiss"
It's like hot oil pouring, and it's like burning fire.
Layers of green smoke rose under Murphy's skin protected by the elder's armor, causing him so much pain that even his defensive movements were completely out of shape at this moment. The dark steps under his feet were also out of control, causing him to stumble and almost fall, using his hands
The sharp sword propped up the body to barely hold on.
But this is already settled.
At least he didn't have so many terrible negative statuses on his body, but Jade, who had six fatal debuffs on his body in front of him, was in a miserable state.
His whole body felt as if he had been poured into sulfuric acid.
In the absence of blood essence and the physical collapse of his body due to multiple escapes in the form of a bat, even the slightest direct sunlight would make him miserable.
What's more, this is the scorching sun that tears apart the night at dawn in the morning. It is the most active time of the day for the solar energy in nature.
"ah!!!"
The screams of agony lengthened, like a banshee's screams that spread throughout the deserted ruins at this moment. Jed, who knelt down in the sun, was in so much pain that he couldn't even hold his sword.
He was lying on the ground, trying in vain to block the sun with his hands.
The skin exposed to the light was blistering and carbonizing. He struggled, desperately trying to squeeze the dark spiritual energy in his body to create a shadow to block the sun.
But Murphy stepped forward.
He bit his broken pocket watch in his mouth to prevent himself from crying out in pain.
With the white smoke rising from her body, she wielded Tris' Elder Blade, and mercilessly used her master-level blood vulture swordsmanship to attack Jed who was in "sunlight weakness".
This is his only chance to win!
This was the battle plan he had already made when he regarded Jed as the target of the trial. He would use the terrain to create a bug and achieve a tricky level-up challenge.
But no matter how tricky he is, Jade's overwhelming strength cannot be questioned.
After realizing that he was likely to be tortured to death by Murphy here, Jed immediately lost his will to fight. He knew that now was not the time to save face!
I must run now!
"Get away!"
The power originating from the Silver Rank erupted in Jade's screams as miserable as a burning ghost. He slashed Murphy back with his claws, and then ran towards the nearest shadow to avoid it.
But the moment he started, Murphy raised his left hand to cast a spell with a psychic binding action. Under Tris's repeated guidance, the psychic shock and suffocation that he had mastered was released in the next moment.
Murphy also added a bit of "fancy" to this mediocre skill.
The dark psychic energy that belonged to him turned into an invisible hand and clasped Jade's neck, strangling him tightly so that he could not breathe. At the same time, Murphy continued to release the psychic energy with his left hand and dragged the struggling Jade from the ground into the air.
.
It's like an invisible sling hanging the criminal in mid-air.
The subject's fierce struggle will deepen and accelerate the suffocation effect, thus giving this ordinary skill a sense of cruel beauty and ritual during execution, and also allowing the person hiding in the shadows of a high place to peek at the battle with an obscene posture.
The eldest lady's eyes lit up.
Hey! This execution is a good move!
It's easy to learn and yet cool. It adds a finishing touch to an ordinary skill. Let's call it "Midnight Noose".
"puff"
The Blade of Desire pierced Jed's shoulder from behind, then picked up Murphy's wrist to cut off the bones. Then his left hand turned into a scarlet claw and grabbed Jed's heart, intending to take his life while he was weak.
.
But it's not that simple.
The piercing scream of crows exploded around Murphy.
Jade is not just a Tomb Sword Guard, he is also an elite midnight hunter.
Summoning death crows to peck at enemies is their special skill, and when summoning them in a desperate situation, they naturally do not hesitate to release psychic energy. As a result, in the next second, Murphy's entire body was surrounded by a large group of deadly black crows.
Dozens of psychic piercing attacks in an instant turned Murphy into a "bloody man".
Just like in the Souls-like game, he was provoked by the boss because of his greed for swords, and the health bar disappearing spell was directly performed. What was even more tragic was that this moment of delay allowed Jade to break free from the midnight noose.
But he didn't turn around to fight back. Instead, he staggered towards the nearest shadow.
"Bite him to death!"
Murphy whistled while wielding his sword to deal with these psychic black crows.
The giant giant wolf from the astral world lunged out with a howl. Under the command of his "Wolf King", he chased Jade and knocked down the miserable upper-level vampire from behind with one claw.
Jade screamed in pain from the crazy biting, showing no trace of dignity. It was obvious that under the wrath of the truly noble Sun, the Children of Midnight had no dignity at all.
Jed's entire skin was about to be carbonized, and he could only struggle to pull out a miserable bloodstain in the sunlight, and finally crawled into the shadows that saved his life.
He kicked away the giant astral wolf, staggered to his feet and continued to rush towards the dark room in front of him.
And Murphy also swung his sword and killed the last crow.
A hint of ferocity flashed across that handsome face, and after wiping the blood, he held up his sword and rushed into the dark house with his limping giant astral wolf.
He won't give up!
Just like facing Joe Pan Macchi in the smuggler's forest, when it's time to fight, Murphy is unequivocal!
Even though he already has an administrator system that can summon cute and ferocious little players to fulfill almost all his wishes, for players this is just a game that can be AFK at any time, but for Murphy.
That's all he has!
This is his life!
Which normal person can live life with the same casual attitude as playing games?!
"Shua"
The eldest lady flapped her bat wings and glided down from a high place, landing on the ground where Murphy and Jade were fighting for their lives.
The blood and blood around her made her clenched her fists.
Being born into a noble family, she has never had the experience of risking everything to win a victory like Murphy. The impression left by this battle on her is destined to be indelible.
She knew she shouldn't help.
This was Murphy's strength test, but at this moment she couldn't help but walk towards the dark room with the staff of secret energy.
"Hey, little girl, we meet again."
A familiar voice came from behind, causing the eldest lady to stop and look back. She saw the old knight Finock riding a red horse, wearing oak armor, and carrying a large oak holy blade on his back.
Her eyes narrowed and she immediately raised her staff.
She felt as if she had fallen into the same situation as Murphy, and was about to face an impossible opponent to fight for her life.
"Men are fighting for survival, and ladies should stand aside and watch, and be ready to send blessings and kisses to the victors."
The old knight whispered:
"This is not something you should be involved in. Back off. Don't let Vampire Murphy's exquisite arrangements go to waste. Hehe, I thought you were the hidden danger that should concern me the most in this ruins, but after witnessing what just happened with my own eyes,
After a scene, I suddenly realized.
Even in your current small group, you are far from the leader!
Murphy!
Very good, I remember this name."
"boom"
The wall of the dark room behind the eldest lady collapsed in the huge burst of psychic energy. As she watched with constricted pupils, Jed, who was covered in blood and had turned into a "charred monster", limped out of the darkness.
Murphy!
Could it be
She looked at the guy who had raised his staff.
But the next moment, after Jade took two steps, the clan leader's bodyguard's legs softened and he fell to his knees with a pop, and the ritual black blade in his hand fell into a pool of blood.
Behind him, Murphy, who had only one arm left, held a weakly beating vampire heart in his hand. At his feet lay the headless body of his loyal astral wolf, and on the other side was a man holding desire.
The right hand of the ethnic blade.
"Ahem, I actually don't need to show up at this time."
Murphy coughed up blood and said to Jade, who was kneeling on the ground and looking up at him with difficulty:
"There are many ways I could have killed you, sir, but you helped me once, whether it was out of sympathy or pity, and I owe you a favor.
I just want to give you the final dignity and attend your funeral with sincerity.
Rest in peace, Master Jade.
Through the passing of death, your ambition is also added to my journey.
I will make good use of the power you left behind."
"puff"
Jade wanted to say something, but blood spurted out when he opened his mouth.
Then he fell to the ground in violent convulsions. The sunlight shone through and turned him into a faded statue, allowing this careerist to find eternal silence in this land of ashes.
And Murphy.
He held Jed's Heart in his hand and raised his head.
The face that was stained with blood and still had blood stains that did not belong to him at the corners of his mouth, he tried his best to show the eldest lady an elegant and decent smile that a midnight noble should have.
It's just that in the current scene, this smile is a bit too scary.
It even made the eldest lady take a step back subconsciously.
She really has rarely seen such a ferocious vampire. It seems that this is the attitude that their clan should have in this malicious continent.
It tore off all the appearances of elegance and hypocrisy, and revealed the inner ferocity and viciousness like a bloodthirsty beast.
The eldest lady suddenly realized that she had been a vampire for so many years, but she did not understand the power of the Midnight Gift as much as the "more than one year old" vampire newcomer in front of her.
But behind her, the old knight riding on the horse suddenly applauded.
He shouted loudly:
"Congratulations, Vampire Murphy, I applaud the winner, but maybe I should also sound the death knell for the evil spirits! You are a potential threat, and I have to be with you."
"Shua"
Something was kicked by Murphy and flew to the foot of the old knight's horse.
The thing shone scarlet in the sunlight, causing Finok to squint his eyes and get off his horse to pick it up.
"The key is given to you! But without the help of the last few Sons of Blood Vultures, you will never be able to enter the corridor."
Murphy coughed and said:
"Is this enough to buy our lives?"
The old knight did not answer.
He picked up the fragments of desire on the ground. After confirming that the thing was real, he took one last look at Murphy and the frightened Femis, then got on his horse and left without saying a word.
"ha"
Murphy grinned.
In the dizzying weakness, he fell to the ground and was held in the arms of the eldest lady who flashed over. He could no longer hear the eldest lady's anxious call, but before he fell into coma, he saw what he had always wanted:
[Novice guidance task (6/6): Return to the end and starting point, completed! 】
