Chapter 364: The Realm of No Self in the Sword Saint Domain
night.
The cool moonlight fell on this ancient city.
Kingdom of Two Lions, Inner City Wall, Royal City.
Various plants of various colors are scattered in the courtyard.
Knights in heavy armor, holding torches, patrolled the courtyard of the royal city.
On the bluestone floor, you can occasionally see the texture of time densely spread on it, and the gaps are covered with mosses similar to moss.
Click click click.
The knights were wearing heavy armor and stepped on the bluestone ground, leaving behind a series of heavy footsteps.
Under the firelight, slender shadows were left behind each knight.
The strange thing is that the blazing torch did not sway at all, but the shadows of the knights swayed slightly from time to time, as if the dimness was disturbed by the wind.
There is no wind around.
There was no verbal communication between the knights, as if they could not bear to break the rare silence. In the courtyard, only the sound of staggered footsteps became the only sound here.
In the royal palace, a grand banquet was being held.
The melodious palace music and the melodious singing of the singer came from the inside of the royal city, which was pleasant and refreshing. The knights could not help but imagine how extravagant and luxurious the banquet in the royal city was.
swish swish...
Click, click, click...
In a corner of the courtyard.
There is a training ground for knights.
The training ground is covered with fine sand. In the sand, there are many traces of the knights' training, which is messy.
Around the training ground, dummies were neatly set up.
The dummy is also covered in strong armor. The style of the full-cover armor is roughly the same as the standard armor of the knights of the Double Lion Kingdom. The only difference is that the knights of the Double Lion Kingdom have the tattoo on their chests that they are proud of.
"Two Lions, Swords and Shields", but on the chests of the armor on these dummies is a large word "enemy".
Each armed dummy has sword marks of different depths interlaced into various patterns. Some of these sword marks are deep, some are shallow, some are long, some are short, some are new, and some are old. If you observe carefully
, maybe from these sword marks, we can roughly visualize the angle and force of each sword of the person who left these sword marks.
"That dog... had a lot of fun."
Yi Lin is not jealous.
He just passed by quietly inside the royal city.
The atmosphere of the palace banquet was very luxurious.
Perhaps it was because of Blacksmith Ge Lang that the king of the Twin Lion Kingdom, who was middle-aged and fat and looked like he had no palace, sat high on the throne, red-faced and drunk, staring at Blacksmith Ge Lang with a lustful expression.
"Is it because of the appearance of Blacksmith Ge Lang, the 'Sword Master Mentor', that they have no time to pay attention to us?"
"I'll put you in jail first and talk about it later when you have time?"
After Yi Lin quietly slipped out of the so-called "well-guarded cell", she couldn't believe what she saw along the way.
Aren't they worried about the prisoners in the prison escaping?
The prison cells in the Kingdom of Two Lions are indeed somewhat special.
The use of any "god-given skills" is prohibited.
However, the player's other functions, props, and talents are not affected at all.
It's weird.
I don’t know if it’s a bug in the game.
According to Yi Lin's understanding, some games seemed a bit cruel to kill "red players" in full view of the public. So they dragged the "red players" to the "cell" and locked them up, completely sealing off skills and props.
Locking the account for 2035 days, euphemistically called unlocking after 2035 days, is actually no different from "deleting the account".
The prison cell setting in the Kingdom of Two Lions is probably similar to this.
Yi Lin sneaked out, just like walking in the back garden of her own house, she could run out at any time.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, if Yi Lin swaggers out of the Kingdom of Two Lions and then finds a leveling point, no matter how awesome Emperor Song Pope is, there is no way he can find a "player" in the vast leveling area.
But.
This is a bit unkind.
How could he be the kind of person who would cheat his teammates?
Yi Lin temporarily gave up her plan of "leaving her teammates and escaping alone".
Taking a step back, if Yi Lin really escapes, Ning You's skill "I stand here and you hit me" is also a natural skill. It is not difficult to dig a hole in the cell and get out.
.
"Let's see and then talk."
In fact, Yi Lin thought more about it.
Leaving the continent of Gaia was not just to avoid a hostile force like the "Holy See".
During these days of being trapped in the game, Yi Lin's team traveled through more than 85% of the "Gaia Continent".
On the map, there are not many foggy areas left.
The highest level of monsters in the leveling area is only lv32.
It's far from the level cap of this game.
If you want to enter a more advanced leveling area, there is no other way except to find a way to get an airship and leave.
They almost snatched the aerostat, but no one knew how to fly it.
So it would be of no use to actually grab an aerostat.
While Yi Lin was using her brain, she turned into a shadow and stalked in the darkness.
The two skill combinations of [Following Like a Shadow] and [Shadow Killing] are very suitable for sneaking. Along the way, no one noticed Yi Lin's existence.
Time passed minute by minute.
Yi Lin came to a corner of the courtyard.
This looks like a training ground.
"Is there anyone?"
suddenly.
Yi Lin, who was strolling in the courtyard with a shopping mentality, suddenly stopped breathing.
The air around... seemed to suddenly become heavy.
Of course, air is air and cannot suddenly become heavier.
Yi Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, looking forward in the darkness.
In the empty training ground, under the moonlight, I saw a blond man wearing heavy armor, with his back straight and standing with a sword in both hands.
It's Homeros.
The boss of [lv???].
Homeros remained motionless.
Under the moonlight, it looks like a sculpture, with a perfect profile.
The posture of looking up at the moon at a 45-degree angle gives people a sense of direct gaze with silent pretense.
"finally found you."
Yi Lin thought.
He did not dare to be careless, so he carefully entered the sandy ground of the training ground and circled around Homelos. Seeing that there were no changes in Homelos' movements, demeanor, and breathing, Yi Lin became bolder.
The level of Homeros is beyond imagination.
Although Yi Lin did not have a head-on confrontation with Homelos on the city wall during the day, the sense of oppression that Homelos brought to Yi Lin in that short span of time was extraordinary.
Although this kind of pressure can be explained as an illusion caused by hierarchical suppression. But for some reason, Yi Lin would rather believe that it is because of a certain trait in the opponent that makes her feel that "this boss is unusually awesome."
.
What Yi Lin is even more worried about is that the effects of his innate skills will be weakened at an epic level if the level gap is too large.
"My health is too thin. If I hadn't attacked in 'non-combat mode', I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the blow from this boss."
"But as long as he can't break my stealth mode, he's just an ordinary boss."
"You can give it a try."
Yi Lin didn't dare to be careless.
Bosses and their physiques cannot be generalized.
Yi Lin tortured the Moonlight Wolf King all night long. Although it was a boss, at best it was just a small [lv25] mini-boss in the low-level leveling area.
——Besides, she is still pregnant and has a "weak butt" boss.
In front of Yi Lin's eyes, Homeros was just standing there indifferently, but it gave Yi Lin a feeling that she had no idea what to do.
Thump, thump, thump.
Yilin's heart rate suddenly soared.
He could even hear his own heartbeat, very clearly.
The hands holding the Question Mark Divine Sword tightly broke out into a thin layer of sweat.
"I'm scared...?"
"No."
"This game is so interesting!"
Yi Lin suddenly smiled.
Smile and be kind.
【Like a shadow】!
【Shadow Kill】!
【Poison Tempering Dagger】!
A green dagger went straight to Homeros's head.
Homeros: "?"
The boss...is green.
But Yi Lin had no intention of making Homelos' life easy.
In the past, Yi Lin used to wait for the poison damage to start to increase before launching his combos.
But this time, because Homelos' level was too high, the pressure from that stance put too much pressure on Yilin. Yilin's shadow almost touched the back of Homelos' head and threw the so-called "throwing" skill.
Before the damage from "Poisoning" had time to rise, Yi Lin's follow-up combos had already arrived unexpectedly.
[Two Blade Style]!
【Concentrate】!
【Venom Assassination】!
Breathwork!
Shadow-shattering blow!
This seemingly simple sword contains all the abilities that Yilin currently possesses.
How do you say something?
All things are unified...
It doesn't matter how many combos you have.
There are countless combos, even if only one combo ends up, as long as the damage is enough, this one is the most powerful combo.
Yi Lin did not pursue the special effects of "bx99", he only pursued a one-hit kill.
【-1】
The first thing that appeared on Homeros' forehead was poison damage.
Immediately afterwards...
【-97】!
The number that floated up almost immediately after the poisoning damage was only two digits.
But Yi Lin felt happy in her heart.
Defense broken!
But because Yi Lin has not entered the "combat state", the opponent's health bar does not show up. But for Yi Lin, as long as it can cause damage and break the defense, it is enough!
"Um?"
Homeros, who was looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, his cold gaze condensed. The moment the damage number popped up, his seemingly heavy two-handed sword suddenly shook back and swung out a terrifying wave.
Sword shadow.
The straight moonlight was interrupted for a moment.
If someone looked from the side at this moment, they would see such a magical scene. The long sword swept across the moonlight, and for a moment, the shadow of the sword actually cut off the moon's light.
hiss--
Yilin's scalp instantly became numb, as if she had undergone a complete electrotherapy spa.
He did not naively throw a second set of combos at Homelos' head, but decisively launched [Shadow Kill], [Following Like a Shadow], transformed into an imperceptible shadow, and dived into the ground again with a swish.
Completely disappeared.
【-1】
【-1】
【-1】
【-1】
On Homeros' forehead, green numbers popped up one by one.
The aloof knight of the country, the sword master, the iceberg god, the dream lover of thousands of girls, the lifelong enemy of thousands of unmarried men in the Twin Lion Kingdom... That man, that man with countless titles, turned around and looked at the empty space.
Behind his back, his expression finally changed for a moment.
Homeros frowned slightly, frowning into an arc.
He raised his head and looked at the sky, as if waiting for something.
Yi Lin knows.
The boss is waiting for the "scale".
A scale that symbolizes "fairness".
Those are the rules of the game world of Ouranos.
All battles must follow the "turn system".
"The level gap is too big...and this heavy armor obviously has a high defense. My combo that can kill the priest of Novice Village in seconds only caused a double-digit damage to him. This is still
The effectiveness of that set of 'breathing techniques', if it weren't for that mysterious set of 'breathing techniques', even Homeros' defense might not be able to be broken through with this sword."
This strike had allowed Yi Lin to roughly deduce the level gap between the two.
Like a chasm, it cannot be crossed in a short time.
but……
Can break defense...
Can cause harm...
That's enough!
Yi Lin held her breath and concentrated in the shadow, quickly changed her position, and came behind Homelos again, preparing to launch the second set of combos.
But at this moment.
A sudden change occurred.
Homeros seemed to notice something.
He snorted coldly.
"The Sword Master's Realm·The Selfless Realm."
hiss--
In an instant.
The cold Homeros suddenly lit up like an LED light bulb.
