Li Ji's actions are now going against their expectations, and are even pushing their plans toward an irreversible collapse.
Antoinette had prepared for the worst.
"Everything will proceed as planned for now. If necessary... I will find a way to handle it."
Chapter 40: "Lucien, the Crimson Blood Diamond" (5k6 bonus chapter)
"So there was another road here... I really didn't know that if someone hadn't led the way."
Li Ji personally opened the wooden door in front of Miss.Christine, who was standing there.
They have now arrived at a road that is completely off the map, and this road also has different nodes as combinations.
Based on the current route and the nodes passed, the final boss node ahead is—it's too late to recover from the spilled water.
After Li Ji opened the wooden door, they entered the crack directly.
[ISW-DF - What's done is done]
[Restrictions - Maximum of four operators can be deployed in combat; the number of units that can be deployed simultaneously is reduced to three; deployment costs no longer regenerate naturally; nine high ground positions on the map cannot be deployed; redeployment time increased by 50%]
Li Ji's chosen team consisted of Chong Yue, Shu, Xi, and Wan Qing.
[Damn, these restrictions are so strict... How long would it normally take to get a collectible like this?]
[This is a bit difficult, especially without any information about the Boss.]
[No, trust Wanfeng, he's the one everyone wants!]
[If I can successfully complete this level, I really need to play this mode properly!]
talking.
The grand curtain slowly rose, and the troupe's actors appeared one after another in their finest attire.
Dressed in gorgeous scarlet geishas, they appeared backstage and then appeared as a group on the right side of the stage.
Fortunately, there is still one square left in the middle, which is just enough for Xi to hit Crimson Diva after activating her skill.
However, Li Ji did not rush to put Xi down. Instead, he chose to have Wan Qing move down first and guard the vicinity of the Blue Gate.
Given that the fees will not be automatically refunded, Wanqing naturally became the first choice to take the lead.
Appearing alongside him was Chongyue, who stood at the very front of the middle section of the road.
At this moment, Chongyue was surrounded by a sharp, crimson light, as if blood had flowed down after the air was torn apart.
"Sword Dance!"
With only four people allowed to join the team, Chongyue seized this one-quarter opportunity and took the most crucial sword dance!
Surprisingly, this time Chongyue did not release his skill after his skill bar was full.
[Isn't it supposed to be about selflessness...?]
[Hey, why not bring such a powerful skill?]
[Could there be some advanced skills involved?]
[A double hit with a 380% multiplier already makes 760%! I really can't imagine anything higher!]
[Huh? You guys dare to dream of anything over 760%? I don't believe it! If he had that, I'd eat my computer screen!]
[Screenshot taken. Don't blame me if you don't eat it later; I'll find you through the internet. Bai Fan, 114 Berlin Road.]
[Wow, this box!]
"Shh, don't make any noise!"
Raven interrupted the audience's speculation about the skill at this moment, "Can't you guys just watch properly? It's tense!"
Their collection is actually quite good now, and from the perspective of damage alone, Raven is quite confident.
Chongyue alone could actually eat quite a few of the collections.
Every time she acquires a piece of her collection, she actually calculates the potential damage.
Based on their current collection, two simple, selfless punches... would be enough to blow the Boss's head off.
刀舞100%攻击、无我380%倍率、止戈+65%、残破合影-12%防御、赶车长鞭+25%物理伤害、绿菜叶罐头、073试剂、破釜沉舟+40%攻击力……
Furthermore, they also obtained some other collectibles while passing through the small checkpoints before the fourth and fifth floors.
Just by adding up all these scattered bits and pieces, Chongyue's two punches were enough to kill many early-stage third-level mini-bosses in two punches.
The only thing I'm afraid of now is whether "Lucian, Crimson Blood Diamond" will have any unexpected mechanics or stats.
……
As time went by, Li Ji's finances gradually improved, and he quickly arranged for Xi to be placed on the only available high platform.
With the boost from her initial skill points, Xi's skills improved rapidly.
With a slight flick of her wrist, the fine brush in her hand seemed to come alive, drawing an elegant arc in the air.
Thick ink then flowed out, like a black waterfall cascading down, enveloping the crimson singer in a sea of black.
"The long sun falls as the brush falls, and layered peaks rise as the brush begins to move!"
Accompanied by a low murmur, the ink droplets swirled in the air and struck the crimson singer, followed by a deafening roar!
"boom!"
The explosion was like a thunderclap, suddenly bursting forth with countless ink stains, affecting all the surrounding Crimson Songstresses.
What's even more terrifying is that after the explosion, the ink and brush seemed to come alive.
When they touched the enemy and the ground, they immediately turned into black streaks, like winding rivers, spreading across the ground.
They gradually coalesced into several small, dark blue dragons, which were particularly troublesome compared to Ling's Xuanjing and Xiaoyao.
Wherever ink is stained on the ground, it will grow there.
"Little Freedom" is the summoned creature that comes with Xi's third skill!
The scarlet singer, walking slowly on the 'stage,' was still trying to avoid these little attacks, but little did she know that it was all in vain.
Xiao Zizai, perhaps able to sense their presence, followed them closely.
As long as the land can be deployed, it will grow under Xi's repeated 'ink splashes' and constantly attack them.
But when they went to great lengths to target Xiao Zizai...
Xiao Zizai, however, was repeatedly attacked by Xi... It's unclear whether he was reborn or instantly regained his full health.
Numerous famous singers found themselves unable to move an inch under these vast expanses of freedom!
[One person can form an army!]
[She's still summoning! Hahaha, I just killed her and she's back again!]
[It's a pity though, the damage feels a bit low. Even with such a high attack speed, you can still feel a slight scratch.]
[Compared to this annoying mechanism, I still prefer this one. If I were stuck like this for this long, I'd definitely curse it out.]
[Don't just focus on dealing damage! This is more powerful than many heavy armor units just because it provides a blocking effect!]
[Haha, stop talking! Look at the field, these Scarlet Divas are wearing themselves down, and they're still fighting!]
……
The Crimson Songstress was already gradually decreasing under the attacks of Xi and Xiao Zizai, but just as Xi's skill was about to end, she was about to die.
The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, with only a faint red glow flickering in the darkness, as if overflowing from the depths of hell.
Against this dim backdrop, a shadow quietly appeared, its outline faintly visible amidst the blood and corpses scattered on the ground.
The bodies of the Scarlet Diva were piled up, stained with blood, resembling a cruel and bloody painting.
In this grand death ritual, the shadow suddenly became clear. It was no longer a simple black outline, but had an eerie crimson hue, as if stained with blood.
The scarlet shadow twisted and writhed, as if pulsating, carrying a chilling sense of desolation.
"coming."
The raven gave a low growl, and its scarlet shadow finally came into view.
【Lucien, "Crimson Blood Diamond"】—Lucien, the Troupe's Calamity, codename Phantom. Once the Troupe's most promising rising star, the Troupe Leader's unfinished masterpiece, even now, after turning against the Troupe and falling into madness, the title of Blood Diamond still remains with him.
[Wow, what a handsome boss! Those legs, that waist, that physique...!]
[Brother, don't look back, I'm your brother.]
[The blue ketone is really strong and irritating me.]
[Such a handsome boss is quite rare among enemies, it's a pity he's just an enemy.]
[I just don't know what the ability is...]
But at that very moment, Xi also set her sights on Lucien.
With another explosion, Mo Ran also blew into Lucien's body.
"You're...you're not hurt!?"
