Chapter 113 The Fourth Condition of [Open and Honest]

[The 25th Floor of the Netherworld]

As new text popped up in front of him, Yu Zhun was randomly teleported to a new level.

Looking at the eight beams of light from the teleportation array rising into the sky in the dark world, Yu Zhun breathed a sigh of relief.

All gold, no white.

This means that the mysterious player who is one level ahead of him has not yet passed the new level.

In terms of speed, he made up some of it.

Suddenly thinking of something, Yu Zhun took out the [Compass of Gods and Demons].

If there were only him and the leading mysterious player on the 25th floor now, [God and Demon Compass] would most likely be able to locate the other party's position!
As Yu Zhun was activated, the needle of the [God and Demon Compass] spun rapidly, and finally pointed in the direction of a teleportation array light beam.

A clear number appeared in front of Yu Zhun.

【94】

How many?

94 [God and Demon Medals]? !

Yu Zhun's pupils shrank slightly. Up to now, he had only obtained 54 medals of gods and demons, while the other party had 40 more than him.

Was it given to him in advance by the other party’s elders?
Unlikely.

The greater possibility is that the opponent not only maintained the lead throughout the whole process, but also killed many alien players along the way.

This is a very powerful character!
Killing the dungeon boss and killing the player are different concepts.

The dungeon boss has much more health than normal, and talents that increase percentage damage have an amazing effect on it, but such talents are not that strong against players of similar strength.

The previous Pasol is an example.

The opponent's talent is simply a cheat for the dungeon boss, but with Yu Zhun, the opponent can't even break his defense.

Likewise, there are some skills that seem unsolvable for players of similar strength, but become very awkward when facing a dungeon boss.

The most typical example is Marcel, the first person Yu Zhun met who possessed the SSS-level talent [Manifestation of the Kingly Way].

The damage dealt by the dungeon boss, which is so little that even the players can't kill it instantly, is rebounded to its own ridiculous health after being immune to damage, which is also not worth mentioning.

Only a few have the talent to remain strong against both dungeon bosses and players at the same time.

Yu Zhun’s talent is naturally one of them.

And now, the mysterious player in the lead seems to be too.

At the moment when Yu Zhun was stunned, the beam of light of the teleportation array that the compass needle was pointing to suddenly changed from gold to white.

Yu Zhun: “…”

It seems that catching up with the leading player is not an easy task.

Choosing the nearest teleportation array, Yu Zhun activated [Fast Step] and continued forward.

After following the same method to generate tens of millions of shields, Yu Zhun arrived at the castle corresponding to the teleportation array.

Before entering, he took out the [God and Demon Compass] and activated it again, and then watched the compass point to the castle in front of him.

【47】

Has anyone entered the castle?

A look of vigilance instantly appeared in Yu Zhun's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he decisively decided to charge in.

When teleporting from the teleportation array on the previous floor to the next floor, the location is random. The only certainty is that you will not be teleported directly into the castle.

Although Yu Zhun arrived quickly, the later players were lucky and might have been closer to the castle when they were teleported.

47 [God and Demon Medals] are worth it for him to stay and see who the other party is.

After being the prey so many times, he wanted to be a hunter for once.

Yu Zhun skillfully used the combat status to maintain the current buff all the way. Looking at the devastated scene on the road, he had already made a preliminary assessment of the identity of the player who had entered earlier.

The other party should be a magician.

Yu Zhun successfully increased his shield to over 20 million along the way, and kept [Speed] on throughout the journey. Finally, on the way to the main hall, he saw another player from afar.

She was a female player with short hair. Both the robe she wore and the staff in her hand were the same bright red as her hair. Even the name above her head was red, which was extremely eye-catching.

In the dim hall corridor, she was as bright as a fire.

【Server No. 14029】

【Nivea, Lv30】

With a glance at the [Compass of Gods and Demons], Yu Zhun was sure that the girl in front of him was the owner of 47 [Medals of Gods and Demons]. Taking advantage of the fact that she had just entered the out-of-combat state that allowed her to change skills and equipment, he temporarily replaced [Shadow Punishment] with the assassin's initial skill [Lurking].

As an initial skill that can still be used by regular assassins even at the second level, the power of [Lurking] is unquestionable.

Although this skill is mutually exclusive with Yu Zhun's talent, in some special circumstances, Yu Zhun still needs to use it.

Just like this moment.

Because in addition to the obvious effects of reducing defense and increasing attack, the [Stealth] skill also has two hidden effects.

First, in the [Lurking] state, even if the player is not in combat and is outside the combat range, he will continue to be in combat.

This is easy to understand. [Lurking] is for the next attack, so it is impossible to regard an assassin in [Lurking] as out of combat.

Strictly speaking, this is a negative effect. If an assassin player wants to leave combat and refresh the effect of a one-time equipment, he must [Lie Down] again and give up the existing gains obtained from the previous [Lie Down].

But this is exactly what Yu Zhun values.

After [Lurking] is activated, the buffs of [Ashura] and [Pure Land] can be maintained for a long time!

Second, if the locked target discovers the existence of the assassin player, the assassin player will know it immediately.

This is based on the skill description of [Lurking]: the state continues to accumulate when the target is not discovered.

As soon as the target discovers itself, the accumulation of status stops.

By checking the effectiveness of the [Stealth] skill, assassin players can easily determine whether they have been discovered.

This is also what Yu Zhun needs.

He wanted to confirm whether the player named Nivea really didn't notice his tracking so that he could make corresponding responses.

After confirming through the feedback from [Lurking] that Nivea had not discovered him, Yu Zhun followed her with confidence.

Under his gaze, Nivea casually threw a fireball, engulfing several elite demons not far away.

【Life-2740500】

The elite demons with health points of over one million were wiped out in one encounter, which made Yu Zhun in the dark feel frightened.

Over two million output!

Could it be that the other party is a rich woman with a talent for advancement?

The horrific explosion attracted a large number of demons, who roared angrily and pounced on Nivea.

Yu Zhun's eyes swept over and soon landed on an elite demon warrior who was protected by a shield by an elite demon priest.

Nivea changed to another skill, a large-scale gale swept through, covering all the demons and quickly clearing their health bars.

The shield of the elite demon warrior that Yu Zhun was targeting quickly disappeared, and then his health bar was emptied after just a few rounds of damage.

Yu Zhun felt relieved when he saw this scene.

Very good, the opponent's attack cannot ignore the shield.

In this way, his shield of 20 million would be put to good use. Otherwise, relying solely on his life increased to over 200,000 by [Shura], he would not be able to withstand such explosive output from the opponent.

Yu Zhun then compared the damage values ​​of ordinary demons and elite demons with different health values ​​in range attacks, ruled out the possibility of percentage damage, and determined that the opponent's talent was purely to increase output.

As to whether there are other additional effects, Yu Zhun is not sure for the time being, but the existing information is enough to support him in attacking the opponent.

Take the initiative!

Yu Zhun finally made a decision and took the initiative to shut down [Lurking].

At the moment the skill is deactivated, the negligible gain he gained during [Lurking] is cleared, and the combat state he always maintained due to [Lurking] turns into an out-of-combat state because the distance from the target is too far.

Yu Zhun, who was out of combat, quickly replaced [Lurking] with the original [Shadow Punishment], and then rushed towards Nivea without hesitation.

In just two seconds, he had entered combat distance, and his state changed back to combat state, stabilizing all his gains!

The requirement of [Open and aboveboard] is to ensure openness during the entire assassination process, which means that from the moment he enters the combat state again, he must always be within the opponent's perception.

And his previous [lurking], because of the brief escape from the battle, was no longer regarded as part of the assassination process!
At the same time, the timing he chose to attack was extremely clever, as Nivea had just thrown out a wave of skills and the skills were on cooldown!

All in all, this wave of operations is full of details!

Nivea, who had just cleared a wave of monsters and had already seen the main hall gate, suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her. She turned her head in surprise and saw Yu Zhun holding a dagger and walking towards her quickly.

assassin?

Are you targeting me?
Nivea's eyes flashed with coldness when she realized the situation, and the light on the bracelet-like ornament flashed slightly.

Equipment effect [Recovery], refresh skill cooldown!
The next second, a ball of red fire quickly moved towards Yu Zhun.

Mage's exclusive skill, [Explosive Flame]!
"boom!!!"

Accompanied by a loud roar, Yu Zhun's figure quickly rushed out from the sea of ​​fire. The shield around him was a little thinner than before, but the amount of shield lost was only barely one-tenth.

He can withstand such attacks ten times!
Nivea's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

This guy... should be an assassin, right?

Is this the amount of shield an assassin should have?
For an assassin to give up extreme output in order to have such high tankiness, does it mean that he has a damage talent that has nothing to do with physical attack?

Surprise quickly turned into an expression of great interest, her red eyes filled with excitement.

"What is your talent?"

Nivea has a very special talent.

SSS-level talent [Mirror Replica]!
After killing a player, you can 100% replicate the opponent's talents. The upper limit of the replicated talents is 1. When replicating a new talent, the previous replicated talents will be erased!

This talent, which does not bring any improvement to one's profession, is considered to be the most powerful talent ever in Nivea's world!
Because it is the only SSS-level talent known to date that can break through professional restrictions and possess other professional talents!
Each profession has a fixed talent pool, and the talents that can be drawn are fixed. There is no way an archer can draw out such an outrageous talent as increasing magic attack, and the same goes for other talent pools.

However, some talents are not strong enough in one profession, but may become extremely strong in another profession!

To give a very simple example, Nivea once replicated an A-level priest talent called [Life Mark], the effect of which is to mark the designated target. The next time you use a skill on the marked target, you can ignore the distance and increase the magic attack by 100%.

This skill is not considered very powerful in the priest profession.

But in Nivea's hands, it is a time bomb that can be delayed and detonated at any time, catching people off guard, enough to easily make an A-level talent produce an SS-level effect!

At the moment, Nivea's replicated talent is Liu Paris's [Close Friendship and Long-Range Attack]. The damage reduction of up to 99% makes her sure that Yu Zhun's attack poses no threat to her.

She is very interested in Yu Zhun's talent!
"I'm Yu Zhun."

Yu Zhun, who turned a deaf ear to the question, raised [Sigh of the Underworld] and pointed it directly at Nivea.

"The one who will send you to the west!"

It seems like he doesn't want to say it, but that's normal.

The excitement in Nivea's eyes turned into murderous intent.

She wanted to kill this player named Yu Zhun and see what his talent was!
Looking at Nivea's unusual expression, Yu Zhun frowned and felt a little strange.

But at this moment the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Without any hesitation, Yu Zhun's dagger stabbed Nivea's abdomen.

【Life-345】

Yu Zhun: “???”

Looking at the red words appearing above Nivea's head, Yu Zhun's pupils contracted sharply.

Aboveboard...not effective!
"Are you surprised?"

Nivea pursed her lips and smiled.

She misunderstood the reason for Yu Zhun's surprise, but after confirming that the assassin in front of her was not a threat to her, the uneasiness in her heart was completely put to rest. She spoke slowly while releasing her skills one after another.

"SSS-level talent [Close Combat, Long-range Attack], which can increase the output to 1000% at long range and reduce the damage received to 1% at close range."

"Although I am a mage, you are very scraping now."

"Your shield is very thick, but I will break it eventually."

"If you don't want to tell me, then I will kill you myself and see what your talent is."

Nivea licked her lips with an expectant expression, as if she had seen a new toy.

Yu Zhun remained silent.

He originally suspected that the other party's talent caused his own talent to fail, but at this moment he suddenly realized that it was not because of this at all.

And Nivea's last sentence made him find the problem.

"So there is such a condition..."

Yu Zhun sighed, "My talent is [Open and aboveboard]. As long as I assassinate in an open and aboveboard manner, I can 100% kill with one strike."

"Huh? What?" Nivea blinked, and before she could react, [Sigh of the Underworld] had already pierced her abdomen.

【Life-53562】

Nivea froze as she felt her health bar empty. Recalling what Yu Zhun had just said, her expression became terrified.

Honestly...one strike kills...

Everything in front of her eyes quickly dimmed, and before her consciousness completely fell silent, Nivea had only one thought in her mind.

It would be great if such a powerful talent could be replicated...

Watching Nivea turn into light and disappear, Yu Zhun shook his head speechlessly.

Before this, he had already summarized the three triggering conditions of [Open and Aboveboard].

First, give your name and announce the assassination.

Second, you can only use profession-specific weapons for assassination.

Third, the entire assassination process must not be out of the opponent's perception.

For such a long time, Yu Zhun has followed the three conditions and has never made any mistakes in countless kills.

This made him believe that there were indeed only these three conditions.

But now, he seemed to have discovered a new condition.

Fourth, during the assassination, you must not lie or fail to answer any questions asked by the target.

Hiding the answer to a question is not a [honest] approach.
