Soul Trigger

Chapter 303 New Soldiers

This sudden sound made the people who rushed out a little stunned -

To their ears, the sound from the red crystal is no different from the watch on their hand.

Can you change your mind at this last minute?
But Ji Li had already stepped on the ground suddenly and turned around.

In a burst of swords and sabers, the few people who were as fragile as paper were cut into several pieces like tofu and fell to the ground.

"What the hell!?"

The man holding the giant axe had the logo of [Outlaw Vanguard Captain: Lv8] on his head. Although he spoke in shock, he did not stop his actions and raised the axe to chop towards Ji Li.

Ji Li saw the trajectory of his attack and moved sideways, ignoring the so-called high level above his head, and tapped the cracked sword in his hand lightly on the axe handle -

clang!
The entire axe broke instantly. The watch vibrated:
[Corrected BUFF Blessing of the Lightless: When facing the forces of the Demon King's City, all attributes are increased by 20%. Vulnerability to the forces of the Demon King's City is 20%. Only effective for the leader]

Red Crystal:
[This unreasonable rule has been forcibly modified: Guardian BUFF: When facing non-Demon City forces, all attributes are increased by 20%, and vulnerability to non-Demon City forces is increased by 20%. Only effective for Demon City forces]

Watch:

[Corrected BUFF Blessing of the Lightless: When facing the forces of the Demon King's City, all attributes are increased by 10%. Vulnerability to the forces of the Demon King's City is 20%. ]

Red Crystal:
[This unreasonable rule has been forcibly modified: Double-edged Sword of the Lightless: When facing the forces of the Demon King City, all attributes are increased by 15%, and the damage received is increased by 15%. The vulnerability to the forces of the Demon King City is 30%, and the Demon King City forces are 30% more vulnerable to themselves.]

The Red Crystal and the "Game System" are still in a tug of war, and the buff effect on Captain Giant Axe fluctuates.

Ji Li seized the opportunity and continued to attack the Giant Axe Captain under the cover of the bow and arrow faceless bone.

The opponent's level is Lv.8, and he can sense a strange spiritual pressure coming from the opponent.

It was not the same as the throbbing of the soul trigger in the real world, but another strange vibration.

This was the first time he felt this kind of oppression in this spiritual prison. Apparently, the rule of "level suppression" existed in this virtual game spiritual prison.

Therefore, if possible, it would be best to kill this guy before the red crystal and the watch come to a conclusion.

After all, he couldn't guarantee that the so-called "characteristics" of the mission reward would be able to turn the situation around after rushing into the surveillance tower.

The vanguard captain naturally would not do as he wished.

Perhaps because of the rules of this Limbo, "Adventurers" can be resurrected, his attack was unusually aggressive.

He didn't even bother to dodge some of the minor vital parts, but instead swung the broken axe in his hand with great vigor.

After forcing Ji Li's attack back with a sweeping blow, he suddenly stomped on the ground during his retreat:

"Mud Springs!"

Spiritual essence behind him turned into mud and splashed out. His body shot out like a cannonball, and he instantly pulled out a straight knife from behind and slashed towards Ji Li.

But the moment Ji Li landed on the ground, his feet were entangled in a muddy swamp.

He immediately raised the enchanted sword in his hand to block the opponent's attack. The Ascension Protocol calculated the opponent's attack trajectory and blocking prediction in an instant.

As a great force came from the sword in his hand, Ji Li felt his wrist shake violently, and the enchanted apprentice sword shattered into pieces.

The opponent's straight knife also tilted towards one area.

But the vanguard captain suddenly roared:
"Spirit-flesh circuit! Deformed joints!"

As large areas of spiritual circuits lit up from his body, his body suddenly expanded to twice its size.

At the same time, the bones all over his body began to crackle. The attack that was originally blocked by Ji Li changed its direction in a distorted manner and slashed towards Ji Li's lower body.

In a flash, Ji Li spread out his five fingers, and the spiritual essence surged towards one of the faceless bones in the encirclement.

The pale skeleton immediately rushed out of the encirclement of several "adventurers" without fear of death, rammed the blade of the vanguard captain with its head, and half of its body was completely destroyed by the spiritual essence that burst out.

At the same time, Ji Li had already drawn out another long sword that he had confiscated along the way, completed the enchantment, and stabbed it into the ribs of the vanguard captain in front of him.

The Faceless Skeleton, with only half of its body left, cut his throat with its sharp bone claws.

The man's eyebrows and eyes suddenly widened, veins popped, and a spiritual energy rose up.

Sensing the spiritual essence that was about to explode in the opponent's body, Ji Li decisively discarded the long sword that was still stuck in the vanguard captain's ribs.

He suddenly stepped out from the mud that was gradually becoming ineffective due to the loss of spiritual essence and stood behind and to the side of the vanguard captain.

The next moment, a spherical sound wave spread out from the mouth of the vanguard captain, knocking Ji Li and the half-faceless bone away:
"Mighty Battle Roar!!!"

Ji Li slammed against the wall, and despite the severe pain in his internal organs, he climbed up, turned around and went into the surveillance tower.

The position he just changed was just right for the opponent's burst to send him to the entrance of the surveillance tower.

Watch vibration:

[Corrected BUFF Blessing of the Lightless to only apply to a level 8 elite within the range of the Watchtower:

[After being severely injured by the forces of the Demon King City, the injuries are instantly recovered, all attributes are increased by 40%, and the vulnerability to the forces of the Demon King City is 40%. ]

[This rule is very reasonable. It only applies once, lasts for one minute, and cannot be modified. ]

With a violent roar, Ji Li's soul trigger could sense the extreme danger coming from behind.

The half-faceless skeleton and the bow and arrow faceless skeleton lost contact almost instantly, which made him keep moving.

And Red Crystal is not to be outdone:
[This rule is very reasonable, but within a 2-meter range, a special buff of spiritual essence recovery will be applied to the forces of the Demon King's Castle: % per second]

Watch vibration:

[Correction: 0.2%]

Red Crystal: [3%]

Watches: [0.3%]

Ji Li, who had already rushed into the tower, grinned:
“It’s fair and reasonable.”

The interior of the tower is a circular room filled with old books and various crude machines, with only a ground device in the center that looks like a circular elevator.

Amid the approaching roar, Ji Li manipulated the remaining faceless bones at the scene to desperately hug the frantic vanguard captain, and stepped into the device.

[You triggered the teleport]

With an unfamiliar scene before his eyes, Ji Li realized that he had arrived inside the surveillance tower, even on the top floor.

The space here is completely different from the seemingly cramped surveillance tower outside. It is extremely spacious and does not feel like the inside of a tower at all. Instead, it looks more like some kind of dilapidated laboratory hall.

A large number of unlit spiritual circuits emerged from the ground and spread towards the center.

A complex device is located in the center of the entire space, which is also the center of the spiritual circuit. There is a hole that can accommodate a human hand facing Ji Li.

Ji Li did not hesitate too much. He quickly approached with his feet and thrust his hand directly into it. He grabbed an object that felt not very comfortable and squeezed it gently.

As the trace amount of spiritual essence in the body was sucked in uncontrollably, the spiritual essence circuit array pattern covering the entire ground suddenly lit up.

At the same time, the entire surveillance tower began to rumble, and a piece of spiritual energy rose up, turning into a tiny light, and slowly collapsed above the top of the surveillance tower.

Then, the collapsed part suddenly expanded in the surging spiritual fluctuations, turning into a huge dark burning eye, with its interior shrinking and undulating like a black hole, twisting and sweeping towards the entire inner city of the Demon King's Castle -

[The surveillance tower has been opened, and the map of the inner city of the Demon King's Castle has been obtained]

In an instant, the view of the entire inner city of Demon King City appeared in Ji Li’s mind.

[An open surveillance tower has been detected. The Demon King's Castle's spiritual defense network has been restored.]

A light grey film of light suddenly rose in the entire inner city of the Demon King's City. The spiritual projections that were constantly bombarding the throne crystal hall hit the film of light and were swallowed up like a stone sinking into the sea.

"Success..."

Ji Li let out a long breath and suddenly withdrew his hand.

And the voice of Red Crystal came from my ear: [Guide the task to open the surveillance tower: The task is completed, and I can now discover a feature. ]

Before he could react, a loud noise suddenly came from behind him, and a powerful spiritual impact surged towards him from behind.

Ji Li stepped back instantly and saw that the rising spiritual circuit on the ground offset the white light bombarding the device.

Turning his head, he saw a sturdy man who had expanded to nearly three meters in height, walking towards him step by step. The violently rising spiritual essence constantly stimulated his soul trigger:

[Legal Vanguard Captain: Lv.10]

In the short time that Ji Li rushed into the surveillance tower, he seemed to have directly leveled up by 2 levels by killing several of Ji Li's faceless bones.

At this moment, his eyes were emitting white light, and his back was covered with white magic patterns that emitted white light. He walked towards Ji Li step by step like a god descending from heaven:

"you……"

puff--

A violent icefall swept out, instantly covering it, and the spare iron sword in Ji Li's hand was completely shattered into pieces:
"The Demon King's Army."

Ji Li activated all of his remaining Demon King Army slots.

Four faceless skeleton figures appeared around the burly man in the fluffy black air.

One of them swooped up and stabbed fiercely with a knife.

The second one turned his back, put his bony legs around his neck and started scratching him wildly.

Third, a frontal attack would draw attention.

Fourth, go around from behind and stab the opponent in the back.

The captain of the lawless vanguard roared, and a white light burst out from his body:

"Mighty Battle Roar!"

The spherical sound waves blew away the three faceless bones, except for the remaining one which was still on his head.

Although this guy is of a high level, he does not have the skill of "transforming into a demon" like the two people Ji Li encountered before.

The moment he grabbed the faceless skeleton on his head, the three faceless skeletons that were blown away turned around and rushed back, tightening his joints from top to bottom without fear of death.

Ji Li also immediately confirmed the red crystal's mission reward -

If this so-called "characteristic" reward is not good enough, then just die again and try again.

Although the sunk cost is a bit too high, there is always a way out.

In an instant, Ji Li felt that the space around him suddenly froze. He sensed that the spiritual essence had three unfamiliar flows at this moment, rushing away like a river.

And three pieces of information appeared in his perception like flipping over a deck of playing cards:
Please select to discover new traits:

1. Enchantment (advanced skill)
2. Collapse Spirit Fire (new soldiers can be found)

3. Violent Fire (can discover new lord skills)——
Randomly pick three abilities I already have within the constraints of the rules of the Linglin Prison, and then make a choice?

In the almost still time, Ji Li thought carefully.

The ability of enchantment is to enhance oneself, and the enchanted weapons can also be given to summoned creatures for use.

However, within the restrictions of the rules, his "career template" is a lord. From the words of these "adventurers" and his own experience, it is not difficult to see that the so-called "lord" must rely on summoned creatures.

The second collapsed spiritual fire is the cold spiritual fire characteristic that has developed to a certain stage. Under the current rules, it can obtain a new type of demon army. The meaning is very clear.

The third one is the lord skill, and the personality relic of Violent Fire is essentially a version before the collapse of the spiritual fire and its ability, he remembered, was to erode spiritual essence.

A lot of thoughts flashed through his mind, as the logical grid of the Ascension Protocol organized the information for Ji Li.

He decided on the second option.

[Discovered Features: Collapse Spiritual Fire]

[Unlock a new Demon King Army: Evil Lord. Unlock an additional Demon King Army summoning slot]

[Now I can train the "Evil Lord Commander". ]

[I have acquired a new type of soldier. As an evil demon lord, my appearance has changed accordingly. 】

The slowed time resumed flowing, and the turbulence caused by the vanguard captain made Ji Li suddenly raise his hand and take a step back.

His tattered skeleton leather armor was changing shape.

More bones emerged from the gaps in the leather armor and were embedded in it. A hood covered the back of his head, and the bone visor under the shadow of the brim became thicker and sharper, like a heavy iron mask embedded in his face.

Two rows of ribs covered his chest like a collar, and scattered bone clips and rags formed a windbreaker-like hem under his body.

If Ji Li was dressed like a down-and-out undead security captain before, he now looks like a down-and-out undead nobleman.

The leader of the vanguard who was roaring not far away also obviously noticed Ji Li's change at this moment, and his eyebrows were startled:
"…You've upgraded?!"

He immediately didn't care about getting entangled with these skeletons, and rushed towards Ji Li dragging the faceless bones on his body:

"Fuck you, you'll die even if you level up!"

A burst of dark spiritual essence suddenly burst out in front of him:

"The Demon King's Army!"

A gray-yellow skeleton appeared in front of him. The vanguard captain was too lazy to pay attention to it and was about to smash it to pieces with a slap.

But as Ji Li's spiritual essence was infused into the skeleton's body, a burst of blue spiritual fire rose and exploded. The vanguard captain's wrist only felt an extreme chill, and then there was a strong recoil -

Bang!
The vanguard captain took a sudden step back, his eyes filled with astonishment.

The new recruits who were in "training" jumped back and took several steps before they resolved the strong recoil.

It was a white jade skeleton covered in blue spiritual fire, with a layer of translucent black ice on its wrists. It was this thing that blocked the attack of the vanguard captain.

[Evil Spirit Commander: Lv.7]

The vanguard captain suddenly burst into laughter, raised the long sword in his hand and slashed at the evil spirit commander:

"I thought it was something powerful! Just level 7?!"

But a huge black ice knight sword instantly extended from the evil spirit commander's bone claws and collided with the long sword in the opponent's hand.

The moment he stepped back two steps due to the strong recoil, a large amount of black ice emerged from his body.

In an instant, the white jade skeleton was covered by translucent black ice, as if it were covered by a knight's armor, and like black crystal, one could see the bones and burning spiritual fire inside.

At this moment, the teleportation array was triggered again.

Three slightly embarrassed but uninjured outlaws rushed in.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he was about to go forward to support, but he heard a sharp scream from the evil spirit commander.

Several spiritual fires burst out and hit the four half-dead faceless skeletons.

In an instant, the faceless skeletons regained their vitality, and a layer of black ice armor covered their bodies. Half a meter long black ice blades grew out of the wrist armor on the back of their hands, and they stood up instantly -

[Evil Spirit Follower: Lv.4]

[Evil Spirit Commander: A special faceless bone formed by the power of the collapsed spirit fire. Although it is still a long way from being a true incorruptible bone, it can already use the power of the spirit fire to cover the black ice armor and strengthen the faceless skeleton demon army.]

"What the hell?!"

Amid screams, the four people who had just entered the venue were blocked by two evil spirit followers. As their swords slashed, a bunch of broken limbs and arms flew into the sky, exploding with ice debris all over the sky! —
PS: The second update will be at 0 o'clock.
