Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 181 The rain is coming
After a few minutes.

In the wilderness, an extremely loud collision echoed on the battlefield like a forest of thorns. Two figures, one black and one blue, were entangled together. All the rock thorn pillars in their path were shattered and collapsed in the loud noise.

"Roar…!"

The Dragon Emperor looked down at Xin Lailai, who was much shorter than himself, and opened his mouth wide. Then at the moment when the light blue light began to gather, a fireball suddenly formed in his mouth.

boom!
Hot air waves slapped the faces of the two, and the power of the fireball technique, which had been greatly increased, had already exceeded the conventional upper limit. Although it could not cause effective damage to the Dragon Emperor, it was more than enough to interrupt the opponent's roar.

Tangled Blade·Flowing Slash!

The dark sword light erupted again and collided with the Dragon Emperor's fist.

clang--!
The ground collapsed, strong winds raged, and a few jet-black crystal lights splashed on the rock thorn pillars on the side, penetrating densely packed tiny holes.

At the edge of Xin Lailai's sight, lines of information were gradually dissipating with prompts:

……

[*Tips: Already equipped with the title [Limit Breaker]]

[*Tips: It has entered the [Limit Breaking] state, the basic attributes are temporarily +10, and [Attribute Limit] has been temporarily lifted]

……

【Limit Breaker】

Quality: ★★★
Category: title

Wearing requirements: Defeat at least one enemy whose difficulty is greater than your own brand level LV.15 or above.

Title Effect 1, Limit Breaking (Active): You can actively enter the [Limit Breaking] state, temporarily breaking the [Attribute Boundary] limit of the specified type of basic attributes. The duration is 10 minutes. After the end, the selected basic attributes are reduced by 5 points, and Enter a 12-hour [severe weakness] state.

Title Effect 2, Transcendence (Passive): After entering the [Breaking Limit] state, the selected attribute that breaks [Attribute Boundary] will be temporarily increased by 10 points.

Introduction: Only those who truly transcend the limits are qualified to wear it.

……

Three-star title·Limit Breaker.

One of the several titles that Xin Lailai received from the settlement of the Black Clover world, it was also his final trump card to enter the world of God Eater.

At the cost of greatly reducing one's own body's basic attributes and falling into severe weakness for half a day, in exchange for 10 minutes of [Lifting Boundaries] and all basic attributes +10.

This is also the reason why Xin Lailai has never used this title once before. After all, the cost of using it once is 20 points less in total attributes. Even for Xin Lailai whose attribute point gain is much higher than other contractors of the same level, It's also a bit too huge.

As for how Xin Lailai managed to push all the strength and physical agility to the limit of 79 points after breaking the attribute restrictions, it relied on another skill:
……

Professional skill 1, Oracle's blood (passive, LV.21): Strength +21, physical strength +21, agility +21, body defense +21, cell energy +2100, can strengthen oracle cells by swallowing high-level life energy, Increase the level of this skill.

……

The most useful part of the God Eater template is that as long as enough Aragami cores are swallowed, the physical attributes can be quickly improved.

After the boundary was lifted, it was precisely by relying on this professional skill and the massive amount of Aragami core that Xin Lailai was able to increase his physical strength and light speed to the limit of 10 points in just 79 seconds.

But everything has a price. Xin Lailai's basic physical attributes cannot bear such a high bonus, and the result is:

……

[*Tips: Because the Pioneer career template [God Eater] professional skill 1 gain has seriously exceeded the Pioneer's basic physical endurance limit, the Pioneer has entered the [Oracle Corrosion] state. 】

[*Tips: After entering the [Oracle Corrosion] state, the Pioneer will quickly accumulate erosion value. When the erosion value reaches 100%, the body will directly [Desolate God] and enter the [Out of Control] state. 】

[Tip: The current erosion value is: 13.7%]

……

clang!
An astonishing wave of energy erupted again, centered on the collision between Xin Lailai and the Dragon Emperor.

With every collision, a small black crystal cluster would burst out of Xin Lailai's right arm, and then these crystal clusters would grow rapidly like extremely fast-growing spores.

In less than 2 minutes, Xin Lailai's entire right arm was completely occupied by these crystal clusters, and intense gnawing pains continued to be felt.

This is caused by the oracle cells frantically eroding Xin Lailai's body cells. Now, his entire right arm can be said to have transformed from a human arm into a 'god's arm'.

Rumble!
Ice-blue oracle bombs rushed out from the light wings behind the Dragon Emperor. Before they could fly to the front, they were scattered by fireballs the size of human heads and exploded into ice mist that filled the sky.

Whoosh!
Ice-blue flames spurted out from the Dragon Emperor's passive propeller. The blue god tried to distance himself and released a big move from a distance to kill Xin Lailai, but in the next moment, the dark giant sword seemed to be predicting Just like his actions, he chopped it off directly on the head.

In front of Xin Lailai, who possesses the psychic realm, an enemy like the Dragon Emperor who does not know how to cover his body surface with energy is equivalent to directly displaying every muscle, blood vessel, bone, etc. in his body. It was the same in front of Xin Lailai.

As long as the opponent's speed doesn't exceed him by too much, Xin Lailai can attack and defend with almost predictability.

"Roar--!"

The entangled Dragon Emperor let out an angry roar and stepped hard. The two blue claws were like pile drivers and began to hit Xin Lailai crazily.

Dangdangdangdangdangdang——!
Xin Lailai, who had been boosted to 79 points of agility, could barely resist the Dragon Emperor's Euler Fist. Overwhelming sounds came from his bones and muscles crazily.

Even if his agility reaches the limit of 79 points, there is still a huge gap between him and the Dragon Emperor whose agility attribute is as high as 90 points of true agility. He can barely suppress the opponent's speed entirely by relying on the bonus of the psychic field.

"Roar!"

The Dragon Emperor let out a low roar, punched out, and used the blade on the outside of his arm to catch Xin Lai Lai Yuan Mo's sword. He turned his body, tried to push Yuan Mo away, and at the same time kicked Xin Lai Lai to the side of his waist. Kick away.

Boom!
In an instant, Yuan Mo, who was originally located directly in front of Xin Lailai, appeared on his waist. The broad sword body blocked the Dragon Emperor's kick like a thick shield. At the same time, Xin Lailai was seen holding the sword. Handle, pick it with all your strength!
flaw!

Winding blade·Flowing slash.

Yuan Mo used the dark sword light to slash upward along the inner thigh of the Dragon Emperor's kick, accurately hitting the Dragon Emperor's lower body.

boom!
Broken scales splattered with blue blood, but there was no scene of being split into two.

Under the protection of up to 90 points of real physical strength and 30 points of additional defense bonus, Xin Lailai's sword only cut into an area about two inches deep in the opponent's body and could no longer penetrate further.

But that's enough!
call out--!
A jet-black ray shot out and instantly hit the head of the Dragon Emperor who was entangled by Xin Lailai.

boom! !

Under the Mechanicum's unique annihilation attack, the layers of extremely hard scales instantly shattered like tofu hit by a sledgehammer, and the upper part of the Dragon Emperor's head disappeared from Xin Lailai's sight. .

Well done, Captain Lana!
Xin Lailai's eyes burst out with a gleam of light. Without any hesitation, he swung the huge black sword in his hand with all his strength, flying the Dragon Emperor's body. Then he raised the big sword, and the dark light bloomed instantly.

The dark barrier formed by the rampant demonic power hit the Dragon Emperor's body hard, causing his body to pause suddenly. In the next moment, a slash that had already been filled with sword power was smashed down with the dark giant sword.

Tangled Blade·Domineering Slash!

boom! !

A dark shock wave centered on Xin Lailai. The nearby rock thorn pillars broke instantly and fell down with a loud roar. The ground under their feet collapsed and shattered like layers of tissue paper. In the sight, a faint blue light appeared. The health bar above Aragami's head instantly dropped from 87% to 0%.

Immediately afterwards——!
"Judgment!"

A roar came from the sky, and Ah Zheng, who had climbed to the top of the rock thorn pillar, jumped down. A huge shield made of pure white sacred energy fell from the sky and hit the Dragon Emperor's body heavily.

"ruling!!"

The huge shield gathered into a sacred cross, and pure white chains rushed out from the cross, tightly wrapping around the body of the Dragon Emperor.

"Roar--!!"

The next second, the revived Dragon Emperor roared unwillingly, and the blood bar above his head began to rise from 0% to 100% at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then...

Whoa!
Pure white flames spurted out from the Dragon Emperor's seven orifices and the gaps in the scales on his body, and his unwilling roar instantly turned into a howl of pain.

Finally, in the pure white ashes, a cold reminder sounded in Xin Lailai's head:

[As a result of Pioneer's assistance in killing the Forbidden God: Dragon Emperor Caligula, 200 merit points have been obtained]

Black Sword: “@Chijia@阿正@Lana, I’ll leave the rest to you for the time being. I’ll take a nap first.”

Ignoring the prompts in his mind, Xin Lailai, who confirmed the death of the Dragon Emperor, did not hesitate at all. Instead, he quickly sent a message to Chi Jia and the others, took out a needle-like thing, and stabbed his right arm hard. .

[The bloodline extraction device has been used, and the professional template [God Eater] is being stripped off...]

As the needle was inserted, the black crystal clusters on Xin Lailai's arm began to quickly turn gray-white, then slowly collapsed and broke. At the same time, Xin Lailai's pair of golden vertical pupils also began to quickly turn back to their normal pitch black color. color.

[After stripping, you are welcome to use this product. This product is provided by the Bloodline Department of Academic Sect. If you are interested in purchasing, please call...]

Finally, as the sound of a successful peeling sound sounded, Xin Lailai's body shook slightly twice, as if he had lost all strength, and fell straight to the ground.

"Black Sword!"

"Quick, take him back to the car!"

The voices of Chi Jia and others vaguely sounded in Xin Lailai's mind, and then quickly disappeared. After a while, Xin Lailai's consciousness completely fell into the cold darkness.

……

……

underground space.

"Did you still fail?" It raised its head and stared at the root-like tentacles entwined above its head. A picture was reflected in its golden vertical pupils:
In the picture, the blue Aragami howled in the white flames and quickly turned into gray ashes.

Even if he taught the child of Caligula new 'techniques', used other children as bait, and deliberately forced the opponent to be in a state of black energy, he still could not kill the 'chosen man' in black clothes. By'.

Sure enough, just like His advice, the methods of these chosen ones are far beyond expectations and imagination.

Whether it's the chosen one wearing black clothes, or the chosen one wearing a black and white mask.

The methods of these people are far beyond what it can predict.

The only thing it can do is to risk its own existence, risk everything, and fight with all its might.

This is the path of disobedience to God.

……

When Xin Lailai opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was a white ceiling.

Has he... returned to paradise?

Xin Lailai raised his arm in confusion, and then saw the infusion tube connected to his right hand, and a hurried cry:

"Doctor! Mr. Black Sword is awake!"

Black sword…

By the way, he remembered. He discussed with Kongmu using Friar as bait to try to severely damage all the Aragami legions at once, and then...

"Dragon Emperor!"

Xin Lailai suddenly sat up from the hospital bed, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at his right arm. After being stunned for a while, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, the Dragon Emperor has been killed by him, Azheng and others, otherwise, he would not have the chance to lie here.

"Mr. Black Sword! Are you okay?"

The nurse walking by was startled by Xin Lailai's sudden move and asked cautiously.

"It's okay, by the way, how long have I been unconscious?"

Xin Lailai shook her head slightly, looked at the nurse beside her, and asked.

"It's...three days have passed since you were admitted to the ward."

The nurse said hesitantly. When Xin Lailai heard this, a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

Has he been unconscious for so long?
"I know, I'm troubling you these days."

Xin Lailai nodded slightly, sat up from the hospital bed, and thanked the nurse casually.

"No...nothing, this is what I should do."

The nurse lowered her head and whispered, not daring to look directly into Xin Lailai's eyes.

I almost forgot that his current temperament is in the direction of majesty, and most people would not dare to look at him.

Xin Lailai looked at the nurse's reaction and quickly realized that staying here would only increase the pressure on the other disciple. So he said nothing more, opened the storage space, and put away the spare clothes and the broken clothes that were automatically stored after separation. After putting on the magic coat and other bound equipment, he walked out of the ward.

The equipment bound to the equipment slot will automatically be stored in the storage space or mailbox even if it is taken off by someone as long as the user is still alive.

In a sense, this is a mechanism to protect novice contractors, which can effectively prevent novice contractors who have just entered the park from dishonestly going back to the exclusive room to rest, only to wake up with only a pair of underpants.

"Brother Black Sword, you wake up!"

Suddenly, a shout of surprise rang out. Xin Lailai turned around and saw Chi Jia walking quickly from the other side of the aisle with a happy face.

"Well, you've worked hard these days, Brother Chi Jia."

Xin Lailai looked at Chi Jia, who looked obviously a little tired, and said with a smile.

"It's nothing, but Brother Heijian, your body..."

Chi Jia glanced at Xin Lailai's right arm and spoke with some hesitation.

"Don't worry, except for the punishment for breaking the limit, everything else is fine."

Xin Lailai rolled up his sleeves, showed off his normal arms, and said with a smile.

"Breaking the limit...I didn't expect Brother Black Sword to actually have that title."

Chi Jia said, with a subtle look on his face, both a little apologetic and a touch of admiration.

As a member of a large religious order, and on the verge of the 80-point attribute limit, it is impossible for Chi Jia not to have heard about the method of obtaining the proof of being strong, so he is interested in the title of Limit Breaker, which can only be obtained by defeating the enemy across levels, and its use. The price has certainly been heard.

"It's just good luck. Having said that, Brother Chi Jia, how is the situation now?"

Xin Lailai shook his head slightly, then looked at Chi Jia and asked in a serious tone.

Hearing this, Chi Jia's expression suddenly became serious. After glancing around, he said in a deep voice:

"It's not too good. Because of your coma, many people are a little uneasy. Even though Da Sheng, who killed tens of thousands of Aragami in one fell swoop, is standing in front of you, everyone has basically reacted to the current situation. "

When Xin Lailai heard this, he nodded slightly, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he said nothing.

What Chi Jia said was basically what he expected.

In fact, the contractors have always known that the real difficult battle is still to come. It is only because as a leader, he has not fallen, and he has continuously pulled out various means and trump cards, that they let A group of contractors gained confidence.

But now, because of the Dragon Emperor's attack, he had to use the title of Limit Breaker.

Although he survived in the end, as he fell, the contractors instantly realized that he...or the limit of the God Eater camp, and they woke up from the confidence that he could guarantee everything. Come over.

"This is a good thing. After realizing the situation before us, everyone will only work harder and take this war more seriously."

Xin Lailai said calmly that changes in the atmosphere within the contractors would not affect the execution of their strategies, but on the contrary would help improve the survival rate of the contractors in subsequent wars.

"I know this too, but I just feel like everyone is a bit... too depressed now."

Chi Jia said, sighing helplessly.

"Aragami's side has not attacked since then, and is probably planning to abandon the core of the world. But on our side, even if there is no enemy attack, the atmosphere is still very depressing."

"Seriously, don't talk about them. Over the past few days, I feel like my food has almost changed. I didn't feel this way at all before you fell down."

"Are you depressed? I understand. I will pay attention to this. Are there any other matters?"

"No, we don't dare to make decisions arbitrarily without you."

Chi Jia shrugged, and when Xin Lailai heard this, he said nothing and walked silently towards the end of the corridor.

……

In the Friar conference room.

"I heard from the logistics team that you're awake, and I'm about to go find you."

Kongmu Renhua looked at Xin Lailai who walked in the door, glanced at his right arm, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"During your coma, Dr. Sakaki checked your blood samples. There were no traces of oracle cells in them. Is this also your technology?"

"That's it."

Xin Lailai said, sitting on the sofa nearby and glanced at the map projected on the wall.

"What exactly do you want to see me for?"

"Aragami has fully begun preparations to withdraw from the battlefield. If nothing else happens, he should be planning to give up the fight for the core of the world."

Renhua Kongmu said, pointing out the red arrows on the map that were converging towards the edge of the battlefield.

"It's normal. After all, the Aragami Army on the ground has been almost wiped out. There is no point in continuing to fight."

Xin Lailai spoke calmly, and after speaking, both of them fell silent.

"It's about to start."

"Ah."

"Can I ask how many people you lost over there?"

"67 people, what about you?"

"186, much less than expected."

"Not bad results."

"Well, good results."
