"Enemies will arrive at the battlefield in 30 seconds. Crush them."
"Total enemies: 452. Remaining enemies: 452."
"Enemy locations have been marked on the battlefield map."
As soon as he entered the ga, Ren Suo received three notifications. Besides these three notifications, he couldn't see anything else on the ga screen, just the small map in the bottom left corner. If it weren't for Ren Suo's "Evolution of the Cat" sharp vision, having caught a glimpse of the cityscape and the silhouette of Disaster Girl, he would have thought the ga hadn't started yet. The ga was like soone who had been holding it in for too long and found Ren Suo to relieve themselves, not even taking off their pants before unleashing a hundred waves of enemies—giving Ren Suo no ti to react.
The ga probably had to pay a price to suppress a hundred waves of enemies. Of course, that price would eventually be borne by Ren Suo, as he would still have to deal with these enemies in the end.
Then, as soon as Ren Suo opened the battlefield map, he felt like cursing.
The gaming machine considerately marked the na of the area—it was Tokyo, to the east of Mount Fuji.
But the range was really too large!
From guro in the south, Shinjuku in the west, Ueno in the north, to Asakusa in the east, the linear distance in all directions was at least ten kiloters. This almost encompassed the entire core area of Tokyo, and the battlefield was pitch black!
More than four hundred red dots were evenly distributed across this vast area, like stars in the night sky!
How can I fight this?! It would take almost an hour just to get from guro to Asakusa by train!
Or is the ga transitioning into a lawn-mowing simulator?
Wait, Ren Suo thought for a mont.
If I started from the first wave, with about four or five enemies each wave, then the red dots would be confined to a small area. That would make it much easier and more straightforward to fight.
Now, spreading over four hundred enemies across the area doesn't actually increase the difficulty of the ga. Instead, it gives a chance for victory—with such distances, players have the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
If they all ca at from the start, with more than four hundred enemies, Disaster Girl would probably have broken down imdiately.
However, that was for normal gaming circumstances. Currently, Ren Suo was planning to use a sneaky trick, consuming a festive promotion to summon ga characters to help!
I had initially planned on grouping monsters and doing a one-wave sweep. Now that they're scattered, it's going to be incredibly troubleso to fight.
Ren Suo mulled over his options: The adventurer is still on cooldown and being four-star, so forget about it. The Assassin is too weak.
The Mage Harem Group, on the other hand, is strong enough, and with eight people, they can still take action...
There's no question about Ren Han's strength, and he also has area-of-effect taunting spells—he can burst anyone who dares to hit him...
The Devouring the Spirit of the World is still in the form of the Handso Monkey King; needless to say, its strength is off the charts. Moreover, compared to my own pirated "Struggle Warrior (Damaged)," the Devouring the Spirit of the World can use the official "Struggle Warrior" to create hundreds of clones to entangle enemies. That would be very stable...
Then there's the Truth Seeker. Although not as powerful as the previous three, that was the Truth Seeker of the past. If I equipped her with other Bond Abilities and Spells, with her super Talent, she would undoubtedly master all of my Abilities in no ti. Her combat power would surge significantly. She might even be close to the Devouring the Spirit of the World and Ren Han in terms of single-target destructive power...
However, I'm about to cheat. Of course, I want to prepare to activate an impressive and blatant cheat, loudly announcing to the world: The cheater has arrived!
All these ga characters are very good, but for the current situation—a wide range, large battlefield, and many enemies—they still fall a bit short.
Moreover, Ren Suo opened his personal Attribute screen and discovered that the Unnad had already been carrying a debuff before the battle even began:
'Night of a Hundred Demons: During the outbreak of Violent Energy, all natural light will be absorbed by the Violent Energy. Demons will gain stronger Perception Ability during the Night of a Hundred Demons; normal living beings will be blinded but can see the blood-red light of the demons.'
This debuff wasn't actually too strong, since players only needed to defeat the demons; being able to see the demons was enough. Ren Suo guessed that this debuff gradually appeared with waves of enemies and persisted for a long ti, likely affecting only an area the size of a park.
However, after a simultaneous outbreak, the duration of the Night of a Hundred Demons was shortened, but the total amount of Violent Energy released hadn't changed. Consequently, the Night of a Hundred Demons, along with the demons, expanded into several districts of Tokyo. This resulted in the bizarre spectacle of complete darkness in broad daylight.
The countdown was about to end, and Ren Suo also thought about his requirents this ti:
A wide-area AOE Skill, but it must be precise. Otherwise, if it accidentally demolishes hos while attacking, it would sully Fairy Palace.
It must have an extrely strong Move Ability, so Teleport is a must.
To be on the safe side, it's best to also have strong Healing Ability.
And of course, I myself must be invincible, able to defeat any kind of enemy...
It didn't take Ren Suo long to set his sights on the most suitable candidate.
"So... Hear the command of the Supre Supre! Use the 'Cold Dew Festival Promotion' as the price, summon the only traveler between reality and fantasy!"
"Ilina, get in there!"
---
The people under the Night of a Hundred Demons heard the Immortal Venerate say, "Let there be light," and then they saw the light return!
The sky was pure white. The warm and soft white light flooded everything, banishing the fear in their hearts, reviving their spirits, even moving them to tears. Those who had never experienced darkness could hardly understand this joy. It was like diligently completing sumr howork and losing it, only to miraculously recover it the day before school started!
They'd rather be slaughtered with others than die alone in a riotous, dark world. At least in the forr case, they could comfort themselves that everyone else were their funerary objects, and the pomp of their own death was no less grandiose than that of Qin Shi Huang.
Moreover, compared to the sun that could be obscured, the white light now appearing was almost omnipresent, with the entire city bathed in its evenly distributed radiance.
Behind the light, there was no more shadow!
And they also saw their assailants: almost entirely grey in hue, varying in style, appearing as if they had stepped out of a fantasy world. Their only common feature was their eyes, which shone like rubies!
Even the robots had patches of blood red where their eyes should be!
However, they were not afraid, but instead looked up at the only azure spot in the white sky.
In the mid-sky was a blue-haired girl in a blue dress, reading a very thick Parchnt Book. Quiet and elegant, she was slowly walking in the sky, each step creating ripples.
At that mont, a Phoenix engulfed in flas let out a mournful cry as it traced a fiery path in the sky towards the blue-haired girl!
The people on the ground couldn't help but scream, yet the blue-haired girl remained calm, continuing her slow walk. But when the Phoenix was still ten ters away from her, it hit an invisible barrier, smashed into a flaming pancake, and dissipated in the air!
The blue-haired girl didn't stop, calmly looking down at the violent foes on the ground, her expression as serene as a lake.
She was the character Ren Suo had chosen, the most suitable for urban combat—Ilina!
The city of Tokyo now seed as if it was plunged into total darkness, but the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons had only absorbed the natural light; the electricity within Tokyo was still operating normally.
And with "Perfect Erosion" allowing her to extend her Magic to any part of the city via internet cables, this was the battlefield where Ilina could exert 100% of her combat power!
Just now, the Phoenix's seemingly suicidal Charge appeared to be effortlessly resolved by her. In reality, it was because she had applied many Defensive Magic spells to herself: "Miracle·Repulsion Force Field (Defense)," "Relic Guardian·Tough Armor (100% Reflect Damage)," "Azure Heart·Paralysis Force Field (Paralyze for 3 seconds)," "Tales of Heroes·Toad Skill (All effects amplified by 10 tis),"...
Ilina, able to use all her ga Abilities in reality, only needed to combine several Skills from different gas in the database. This would arm her with an "absolute defense" state where anyone touching even a hair on her head would result in Turning to Ashes!
Ilina glanced at the brightly lit ground below, thinking that 10,086 instances of "Magical Beast·Great Holy Light Technique" and "Transmit Fire·Warm Fire" should have reclaid the light from the Night of a Hundred Demons.
Plus, because of these two Spells, people on the ground could muster the Courage to flee, and their Recovery speed would also significantly increase.
So, what's next...
Ilina turned a page of her book and calmly stated, "In reverence to the Immortal Venerate's command, I shall eradicate the Violent Evildoers."
Even though her reach could extend throughout the city, and saving lives could be done without limit, killing enemies could not be unrestricted. She still needed her Perception Ability to lock onto enemies before she could execute her ultimate Skill to eradicate them.
I will just have to take it slow.
Scanning the ground, Ilina said, "There are 38 Violent Evildoers. Na: Violent Evildoers. Cri: Violent Evildoers. Charge: Violent Evildoers."
"The judgnt is rendered. In reverence to the Immortal Venerate's na, they are sentenced to Heavenly Punishnt!"
In an instant, the sky was filled with rolling Purple Thunder, and thirty-eight streaks of Purple Thunder struck down, illuminating the entire city!
...
Ren Suo glanced at the live streaming room. With his adjustnt, the live broadcast perspective was now following Ilina, so everyone was watching Ilina move across the sky on Lingbo steps, inflicting Heavenly Punishnt on enemies on the ground. All of them were thrillingly enthusiastic, with the barrage of comnts slowly filling page after page, seemingly more fervent than for the Disaster Girl's journey of murder and arson.
However, this was also partly because Ilina had cast a Charm Spell on herself—after all, even Ren Suo couldn't look away after glancing at Ilina.
As she was the strongest force under his command, Ren Suo had urged Ilina in "Rippling Spring Sounds" to ensure this scene was spectacular. The goal was to awe the naive audience and present an image of Ilina that was icy, graceful, yet sufficiently captivating—an invincible maiden whose re appearance could turn all viewers into adoring fans.
Then Ren Suo happily manipulated his Disaster Girl to look for isolated Strange Creatures to pick off.
This ti, the "Technique-Oriented Player" achievent should be secure (my Health Points just need to be above Minor Injury to get it). So, I'll turn my attention to "Strongest King"—not miss any "Flash Step" opportunities, and at least use "Flash Step" to kill an enemy.
Ren Suo now planned to first look for the monster that seed weakest, with the largest Attack range (thus a higher Flash Step success rate). Then, when Ilina ca to kill it, he would have her leave a sliver of Health Points for the creature so he could snatch the kill, thereby completing the achievent.
The plan was perfect. However, a problem arose when Ren Suo, controlling the Disaster Girl, moved close to an enemy. An enemy in full armor, wielding a shield and a one-handed sword, suddenly abandoned the pursuit of a fleeing couple and turned to attack the Disaster Girl running atop the buildings!
His speed was not fast, and from beneath his full-face helt, blood-red eyes flickered like flas.
But Ren Suo thought, This is bad news. The Armored Man's actions had caught the attention of people on the ground, who began to cheer and support the Disaster Girl.
In this situation, the Disaster Girl absolutely cannot run away. The enemy in front isn't strong; he looks like a rcenary from so dieval reality-based work. It would be too shaful for the Disaster Girl to run away from such a character.
I didn't expect the protagonist to have a special attraction to these enemies... As soon as Ren Suo saw what was happening, he imdiately understood. Many ga enemies automatically target the protagonist and ignore their comrades, striving to give the player the 'most thrilling' gaming experience.
The enemies in Chapter Four had this setting for so reason. Perhaps it was because when they fled the Grand Cetery, they happened to catch a glimpse of the Disaster Girl among the crowd?
Just as the Armored Man was about to climb up using an air conditioning unit on the outside of the building, Ren Suo, with a quick thought, commanded the Disaster Girl to swing her Greatsword, unleashing a Fla Slash.
He's probably just a novice from the first ten waves. He might die with just one strike!
But unexpectedly, the Armored Man was extrely nimble. He darted into the building, avoiding the fiery Fla Slash, then leaped out again. Within monts, he had scaled to the rooftop!
Weren't these all monsters ford by Violent Energy? Why does each of them move with the agility of a powerful figure in a state of sage-like focus?
Upon seeing this, Ren Suo realized it was nearly impossible for him to take down the Armored Man with "Flash Step." I could probably kill him in combat, but with his vast combat experience, incredibly agile movents, and the fast attack speed of his single-handed sword, he won't give the opportunity for a Flash Step.
Then let ... squash you to death!
Just as the Armored Man reached the rooftop and was charging toward the Disaster Girl, and just as Ren Suo made up his mind to cut him down, a Spatial Crack suddenly appeared on the rooftop!
A beam of white light shot out from the Spatial Crack and pierced right through the Armored Man's chest!
The Armored Man staggered. He didn't turn back and still desperately thrust his sword at the Disaster Girl in front of him!
But because of the wound in his chest, his attack was unavoidably sluggish, revealing a flaw that even Ren Suo could catch!
The Disaster Girl's figure flashed, and the lting Iron Greatsword slashed through like thunderous fire.
When she reappeared, the Disaster Girl was already behind the Armored Man.
"Not bad."
Upon hearing her voice, the Armored Man fell to the ground, dissolved into blood-red energy, and dissipated.
Hearing the Disaster Girl's voice line, Ren Suo patted his head. That's her voice line for killing an enemy with a Flash Step. This is the second ti I've triggered it, and I designed it myself.
In the past, it would have been fine. But this ti it was clearly kill-stealing, and her saying 'Not bad' seems a bit weird. No one saw that, right...?
At this mont, the cara angle shifted back to the front of the Disaster Girl (it had just been showing the Armored Man falling from behind). Ren Suo saw a young man in a tracksuit with a hunched back and bowed waist standing in front of the Spatial Crack, along with... a Pangolin in a cloak!
While Ren Suo was still in shock, the young man looked at the Disaster Girl, suddenly straightened his back, and spoke in a self-important tone, "Average, average. That was rely one of my common techniques; it's fortunate to receive praise from you, Miss."
Ren Suo blinked. After a mont, he ca back to his senses. Did he think that 'Not bad' was said to him?
Indeed. The Disaster Girl was looking forward when she spoke. If that beam of white light that fatally wounded the Armored Man was released by him, then his delusion is understandable.
"Who are you?" Ren Suo asked.
If he can travel through a Spatial Crack with a Pangolin, he definitely isn't an ordinary person, right? Naturally, Ren Suo was a bit curious.
Yet, for so reason, upon hearing the question, the young man coughed twice, lifted his head like a proud rooster, and suddenly began to recite with great seriousness:
"My bones are made of swords,
My blood is iron,
My heart is glass.
I have traversed countless battlefields without defeat,
..."
As Ren Suo listened to the 'Poetry Recitation,' a sense of guilt suddenly welled up inside him: I should do fewer of these unethical things in the future... unless they're worth a lot of Research Points.
