My players are so fierce.

Chapter 77 76. I hope you have the same attitude towards your own life! 【1660】

(Additional update for 'Huo Zheng is very good' brother [1/20])
It has been several days since Murphy triggered the trial 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, when Jade appeared and The moment he tried to take advantage of Murphy, this pretentious guy was branded with something 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 towards 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:
Name: Bernard Jed Lesenbra

Rank: Level 30·Silver body·Weak blood source (all attributes reduced by 30%)

Occupation: Level 15 Tomb Sword Guard/Level 15 Midnight Hunter/Painter·Classical Painting Specialization
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 emerald 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 don’t have to go through the ignominy of struggling, and I save a little precious time.

What do you think? "

"Haha, is there such an arrogant and crazy soul hidden under the mediocre disguise? 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'm very weak! I feel like I'm going to return to midnight and eternal silence in the next moment, but that's 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 quest for power.

So, from now on, please bring the consciousness and dignity of being a sacrifice. "

"!"

After hearing Murphy say this, Jed suddenly felt that he was 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 blade 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 such a little bastard who can't even reach 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 Jade 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 blessing of the dark pace, he kept sliding to open the distance while waving his left hand backward, and 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.
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 at the sky.

Psychic impact and strong wind!

freed!

"boom"

With a muffled sound like an air cannon, the thick spiritual 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 blocking 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 up from 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 that's settled.

At least he didn't have so many terrible negative conditions on his body, but Jed, 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 bat form, even the slightest direct sunlight would make him miserable.

What's more, this is the blazing 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.

"what!!!"

The screams of excruciating pain lengthened, and the screams of a banshee 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 slid 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 Jade 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 leapfrog 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!
"Go away!"

The power originating from the Silver Rank erupted in the screams of Jed, who was as miserable as a burning ghost, and knocked Murphy back with sharp claw slashes, 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 the air.

The subject's brutal struggle will deepen and speed up the suffocation effect, thus giving this ordinary skill a sense of brutal 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.

Why!This execution move is great!
It's easy to learn and yet cool. It adds a finishing touch to an ordinary skill. Let's call it "Midnight Noose".

"Poof!" The blade of the Desire Race pierced Jed's shoulder from behind, then picked up Murphy's wrist to cut off the bone. Then his left hand turned into a scarlet claw and grabbed Jed's heart, intending to take advantage of his weakness. Take a life.

But it's not that simple.

The piercing scream of crows exploded around Murphy.

Jed is not just a Tomb Swordsman, he's an elite midnight hunter.

Summoning death crows to peck at enemies is their specialty, and the summons at the critical moment naturally does 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 Souls-like games, he was provoked by the boss because of his greed for swords, and the health bar disappearing spell was performed directly. 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!"

Murphy whistled as he swung his sword to deal with the psychic crows.

The giant giant wolf from the astral world lunged out with a howl. Under the order of his "Wolf King", he chased Jade and knocked down the miserable upper-level vampire from behind.

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 Midnight Children had no dignity at all.

Jade'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 dog's 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 to kill the last crow.

A trace of ferocity flashed across the handsome face, and after wiping the blood, he rushed into the dark house with his sword and the limping astral giant 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 there is to him!
This is his life!
Which normal person can live life as casually as he plays games? !
"Swish"

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.

Although she was born into a noble family, she had never had the experience of risking everything to win like Murphy. The impression left by this battle on her was destined to be indelible.

She knew she shouldn't have helped.

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, and saw the old knight Finok riding a red horse, wearing oak armor, and carrying a large oak holy blade on his back.

Her eyes tightened and she immediately raised her staff.

She felt as if she had fallen into the same situation as Murphy, facing 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. Ha, I thought you were the hidden danger that should concern me most in this ruins, but after witnessing the scene just now with my own eyes, After one scene, I suddenly realized.
Even in your current small group, you are far from the leader!

Murphy!

Great, I remember the name. "

"boom"

The wall of the dark room behind the eldest lady collapsed in the huge burst of psychic energy. As she stared at her eyes with constricted pupils, Jade, who was covered in blood and had turned into a "charred monster", limped out of the darkness.

Murphy!

Is it
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 knelt down 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 mercy, and I owe you a favor.
I just want to give you the final dignity and attend your funeral with sincerity.

Rest in peace, Lord 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 looked up.

His face, which was stained with blood and still had blood stains that did not belong to him, tried to show the elegant and decent smile that a midnight noble should have to the eldest lady.

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 had rarely seen such a ferocious vampire. It seemed that this was 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 in a manner like a bloodthirsty beast.

The eldest lady suddenly realized that she had been a vampire for so many years, but she didn't 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 on horseback 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."

"Swish"

Something was kicked by Murphy and flew to the foot of the old knight's horse.

The thing shimmered crimson 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 made no 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.

"what"

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! 】
