Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 279 Bottleneck
  If Zhizi Yingyin's purpose is really to find someone to kill him, then the other party's behavior of killing Daoji is very intriguing.

You must know that according to the information they received from Satomi Rentaro, the information that the other zodiac signs must be killed to kill Hiroko Shadow was only obtained by Hiroko Shadow who suddenly appeared in Leviathan after the death of Doji. Yin said it himself.

At the same time, there is another point that Xin Lailai is very concerned about. According to Satomi Rentaro, Daoji went to find Hiroko Shadow Yin alone at that time, and before looking for him, he gave Satomi Rentaro something similar to his last words.

"In other words, is it possible that there is an unknown time limit?"

Xin Lailai narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of what Zhizi Yingyin said about waiting for their arrival in the Great Rift Abyss in a month.

If you think about it from another angle, the meaning of this sentence can be understood as that they have at most one month to kill the other zodiac signs.

"Lailai, what you mean is that Daoji might not have been killed by Zhizi Yingyin, but took the initiative to find him and used some means to delay the hidden time limit at the cost of his own death?"

Ling Yuzi's voice sounded, speaking for Xin Lailai about the guess in his mind.

"Well, assuming that Zhizi Yingyin really wants to commit suicide, this is the only reason that can explain why Tongji will die."

Xin Lailai nodded slightly, a faint light flashing in his dark pupils.

On the premise of seeking death, it is absolutely impossible for Zhizi Yingyin to take the initiative to kill Dao Ji, who has astonishing combat power. He is a ruthless man who can become a sword madman at the second level. According to the information in Xin Lailai's hands, The other party seems to have successfully challenged the level 30 White Night Contract.

"Speaking of which, Lailai, Satomi Rentaro and the others must have guessed these things, right?"

After thinking for a while, Ling Yuzi said in a pleasant voice.

"If nothing else, Satomi Rentaro must have guessed it. However, guessing is one thing, and whether he can accept it is another matter."

Xin Lailai whispered, his eyes slightly focused. He didn't think that people like Rentaro Satomi and Sumire Muroto would not be able to figure out things that they could guess even if they had just arrived in the world of black bullets.

but……

"My friends, disciples, lovers... most of the people I knew died at the hands of the other party. In the end, I had to accept the fact that I only survived because of the deliberate charity of the other party, and even killed the other party for revenge. This matter itself may be fulfilling the other party's wish..."

To be honest, when facing Hiroko Kageyin, Satomi Rentaro was able to overcome his emotions with just one move of his hand, and he could even maintain a nonchalant appearance afterwards and continue to deal with Leviathan's various matters. Len seemed to have extraordinary endurance.

If they didn't know the other person's age very well, no one would believe that Rentaro Satomi in front of them had just turned eighteen just by looking at his demeanor and conversation.

But he could also tell at a glance that Satomi Rentaro's spirit was obviously approaching the limit of endurance.

Sumire Muroto's previous request to him was obviously not without purpose. If Rentaro Satomi really knew what the original black bomb world looked like, the other party's last mental line of defense would definitely collapse in an instant.

"This is also a point that must be paid attention to. Maybe Hiroko Shadow Yin also knows what the original black bullet world is like. In that case, he has the ability to make Satomi Rentaro collapse at any time."

Xin Lailai was thinking in his mind, taking into account possible unexpected factors. Although Zhizi Yingyin was a native character in the Black Bullet World, the other party was obviously very familiar with the existence of the Contractor.

In the final analysis, why did Zhizi Yingyin, whose strength was only at the mid-to-high level of the second level in the original work, become what he is now after the mutation came? Why did he emerge from the Great Rift and bring the gastrea to destroy it? It is a very intriguing thing for the human side to win.

This is why Xin Lailai has always wanted to capture Zhizi Yingyin. If he could catch him and force him to speak, he would definitely be able to gain a lot of valuable information.

But it's a pity that the opponent's space teleportation is too incomprehensible, and after many contacts, Xin Lailai also confirmed that based on the current strength of him and Ling Yuzi, they may not be able to suppress Hiruzi Yingyin in a head-on battle. .

When negotiating in the laboratory before, he had directly launched a suppressive field against the other party when Zhizi Yingyin shot himself. However, the other party still acted like a normal person and recovered in an instant, without being affected by the field at all. influence on the activity of life energy.

From this point of view, the immortality characteristics of Zhizi Yin are likely to be different from those of Pisces and Sagittarius.

Pisces and the like are more like the life force itself is so powerful that even if the body is almost destroyed, as long as there are still some cells left, it can absorb energy and regenerate it.

As for the immortality that Zhizi Yingyin currently displays, Xin Lailai no longer feels like a simple physical regeneration, but has a feeling that is close to the concept of immortality.

"As for the current top priority...for now, let's just find ways to increase our strength and find ways to kill the Zodiac."

Xin Lailai looked at the memo on the imprint interface at the edge of his vision. He had developed the habit of recording his thoughts on the memo since the beginning of the Black Fourth World, and set an alarm clock to remind him to read it at a fixed time.

Doing so will allow you to think more efficiently, and secondly, it will produce a certain degree of resistance to those hard-to-detect intellectual attacks.

Although he has never really encountered one so far, there are quite a few contractors of the causality and destiny systems in the paradise, and what contractors who follow these systems like to do most is to secretly use the abilities of the causality or destiny systems to give people Those famous contractors put curses and stuff.

"Ling Yuzi, what do you think..."

Xin Lailai looked at Ling Yuzi in his arms, and when he was about to discuss a plan to enhance his strength with him, he found that his expression became a little strange.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just... Quan Momo wet the bed again, it seems like she had a nightmare."

"..."

"Isn't she wearing a diaper?"

"She likes to sleep naked after taking a bath during her official downtime."

"Let her change...forget it, that's it."

Xin Lailai sighed as he spoke, looking as if he no longer planned to rescue her.

"Well Lailai, I'm going to deal with her matters first."

"Ah."

After a brief exchange, Ling Yuzi's figure disappeared into the soul space, while Xin Lailai thought, and the scene in front of him instantly changed from the soul space back to the soft white light.

"Increase strength..."

Xin Lailai sat back on the chair, stretched out his right hand, blocked the light in front of him, moved his lips slightly, and gently spit out two bytes:

"Explosion."

Peng -! !

As the bytes were spit out, a circle of red flames appeared in Xin Lailai's palm.

The first level of magic: Explosive Flame Technique.

If you use singing skills, this simple magic can be completed instantly by simply spitting out one or two bytes.

Even the third-level fire attribute magic at the same level as Pseudo-Heaven-Collapse and Earth-shattering, Xin Lailai can now easily cast.

After all, no matter what, his LV.30 spell master and mana manipulation master's foundation is here. Coupled with the study and practice during this period, it is not difficult to learn a few third-level magic.

But that's all. Although he can freely cast third-level magic, there is still an obvious distance, or... bottleneck, between him and the fourth-level magic.

"If we let Brother Ritian come, I'm afraid this bottleneck can be overcome in just a nap, right?"

Xin Lailai clenched his palms to extinguish the flames in his hands, looked at the steaming heat on his palms, and muttered to himself.

04296's talent is called Elemental Resonance, which is a standard top-level legal talent.

This talent can provide a large amount of elemental affinity and mana bonus at the beginning, allowing the holder to be far ahead of other mages at the starting line.

After awakening to S level, he has the ability to directly and seamlessly switch mana into the four basic elemental attributes of water, fire, earth and wind. At the same time, he can also obtain high bonus effects. 04296 Sun and Sky Shield's It was from that time that the reputation began to rise in Paradise. As for what happened later, 04296 didn’t mention it to Xin Lailai much, saying that he was afraid of irritating him.

For the other party, learning and releasing spells and magic is as simple as eating and drinking. The problems that Xin Lailai is facing now, if replaced by a master of the same level as 04296 at the same time, it would be easy. A small threshold that can be crossed.

"It's useless to think about it now. The most important thing is to move forward step by step."

Xin Lailai shook his head gently and got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Even if he is not as talented as him, with continuous learning and practice, he still has a chance to cross this threshold with his own efforts.

Compared to techniques, the threshold for techniques has been much lower than before the White Night era thanks to the academic sect.

If it were an epee, even if Xin Lailai's talent in the epee was much higher than that in spells, it would be a fantasy to achieve improvement in a very short period of time like now.

"But you can't hang yourself from a tree."

Although the learning of spells and magic is the most stable and effective means of improvement, it is difficult to overcome the bottleneck of cross-level spellcasting.

All things considered, Xin Lailai is more inclined to try to improve all the areas where he can improve.

"As for skills, don't think about anything else. The only thing left seems to be the Seal of the Devil..."

Xin Lailai looked at the dark mark on the back of his right hand, his eyes moved slightly, but then he shook his head.

His Devil's Seal is very embarrassing, because he himself does not have the talent of the demon clan system, and Kargus himself was a remnant soul when he was given the Devil's Seal, so although the Devil's Seal in his hand is of the highest level That gear, but itself is just a shell.

As for why, you can understand just by looking at the skill introduction:

……

[Devil's Seal: LV.25]

Skill Effect 1, Demonic Power: When attacking, it consumes an additional 34 magic points or mana, and adds 82 points of true damage to this attack.

Skill Effect 2, Contract of Equality: You have reached an equal contract with a high-level devil, and you can increase the level of the Devil's Seal by sacrificing equipment or props.

……

On the surface, there seems to be no problem, but if someone who knows more about the Devil's Seal takes a quick look, they will find that Xin Lailai's Devil's Seal does not have any additional abilities.

As the core basic ability of the Demon Clan, the additional ability of Demon's Mark every 10 levels can be said to be the key to this skill.

However, due to problems with the suitability rate and Kargus's own condition, Xin Lailai's Devil's Seal was just an empty shell that could convert mana into devil's power.

While Xin Lailai is not yet proficient in the transformation process, raising the level of the Devil's Seal can at least increase the amount of true damage caused by a single damage.

But after being guided by Kargus and able to skillfully control the transformation of demonic power, the level of the empty shell-like demonic seal in Xin Lailai's hands no longer meant much to him.

The only difference between the LV.1 Devil's Seal and the LV.25 Devil's Seal is that the amount of true damage caused by his unconscious attacks is slightly increased.

As for the intentionally controlled attack, the amount of demonic power contained within it is now completely under his control.

For Xin Lailai now, the current level of Devil's Seal is more like a bonus to help Kargus's remnant soul recover.

But unfortunately, after upgrading the Book of Five Leaves into the Book of the World and binding it as a secondary weapon, a strange situation occurred:
  ……

【Magic Book·World】

Origin: Black Clover
  Quality: golden

Category: Growth weapons/sub-weapons

Growth value: 35.7%
  ……

That's right, the growth value of the World Book has risen to 35.7% without even realizing it.

This is not that the Book of the World itself has the ability to grow on its own. Normally, if you want to improve the quality of the Book of the World, you can only collect items that contain the power of the world, such as branches of the World Tree or Seeds of the World, to feed the world. The book will do.

But Xin Lailai happens to have a weapon in his hand that can absorb the power of the free world to repair himself, and this weapon also takes up the position of his main weapon:

……

【Yuan Mo (divine machine form)】

...

...

Durability: 101/150
  Equipment effect 1, World Devouring: Weapon durability can be restored slowly, and weapon strength (attack power, durability, equipment effect) can be increased through World Devouring Seed.
  ...

...

Current form: Divine machine form

Basic effect, God Machine: The form switching speed is increased by 100%, and when switching to the [God Machine] form, it is increased by 200%, and the effects of [Unbreakable], [Severance], [Star Breaking], and [Swallowing] are obtained.

*Indestructible (available in all forms): The sharpness of the weapon is all converted into solidity. The shield obtains a block correction value equal to 50% of the solidity and a full elemental resistance bonus, and the same amount of knockback resistance is obtained during the shield expansion period. addition.

*Severance (available in sword form): The weapon's solidity is all converted into sharpness, and when energy is attached, an [Energy Cutting] effect equivalent to 50% of the sharpness will be applied to the energy.

*Broken Star (available in gun form): This shot is strengthened based on the energy consumed. For every 100 points of arbitrary energy consumed, the damage caused by this shot is increased by an additional 10%, and the shooting distance is increased by an additional 10%, based on the energy consumed. Each shot has a corresponding energy effect attached to it.

* Devour (available in all forms): Based on the upper limit of weapon attack power and durability, the ability to swallow the power of the world is greatly improved.

……

Yes, after obtaining the form of the divine machine, although the [devour] effect that Yuan Mo adapted to could not transform a wild god to eat the enemy and absorb the enemy's life energy like the real divine machine, it had a large degree of Improve Yuan Mo's ability to devour the power of the world.

The source of Yuan Mo's self-healing ability is achieved by absorbing the power of the surrounding world.

This resulted in that when Xin Lailai switched Yuan Mo to the divine machine form, Yuan Mo's self-repair speed increased by nearly three times. Even in an abnormal world like Black Bullet, the daily durability recovery speed still reached 3 o'clock/day.

And if you are in a paradise, it only takes a few hours to directly restore full durability.

At the same time, the devouring effect also indirectly benefits the World Book. The reason why the World Book can inexplicably increase its growth value to 35.7% is because it has absorbed part of the free world power absorbed by Yuan Mo.

So an extremely embarrassing situation occurred. Originally, Kargus gave him the Devil's Mark in order for him to recover himself by relying on the pure energy generated by the sacrificial equipment. However, with the nourishment of the power of the world absorbed by the Book of the World, In the end, the recovery effect brought by Xin Lailai's sacrifice equipment was not even enough to fill the gap between his teeth.

Under this series of coincidences, the Devil's Seal, which was supposed to be of great use and could even be developed as a core competency, but was also a resource-hungry user, inexplicably turned into a useful one when it came to Xin Lailai. Come and buy the add-ons of demonic power for free.

To put it simply, only the world where the Devil's Seal was injured was achieved.

……

　PS: Let me explain the other effects of the divine machine. I should have written about it in the intervening volume, but I forgot...
