This assassin is upright

Chapter 123 The most restrained one-hit-kill mechanism!
As the roar echoed, everything at the end of the red land was instantly covered with a thin layer of red, as if the whole world was covered with a red veil, with a cold murderous intent and terrifying aura surging in the haze.

Under the illumination of the red glow, a blurry red outline quietly appeared above the hall, and He slowly raised one hand.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp snap of fingers, the fallen corpse of the demonized Scarlet Cloud City Lord instantly turned into a pool of blood, which gathered in the direction of the outline at an extremely fast speed, eventually filling in the outline clearly.

It was a figure with loose red hair and wearing red armor.

The opponent slowly landed from the air, and the moment his feet touched the ground, the floor of the entire hall turned into a bottomless pool of blood. The splashing blood dyed everything in the hall a heart-pounding red.

Along with an extremely strong smell of blood, what came towards Yu Zhun was the monstrous power of the devil!

"Yu Zhun..." Looking at Yu Zhun, who was silent and had a serious expression in front of him, a sarcastic smile flashed across the corner of the Crimson Demon Lord's mouth.

"I said."

"My things are not that easy to get."

"President, we..." Su Hong and other guild members showed anger in their eyes and strode forward, but were stopped by Yu Zhun.

"Everyone, step back." Yu Zhun looked at the people behind him who were showing their worries, "His target is me, you guys leave here first."

Su Hong wanted to say something, but Ji Xiaoyu held him back.

"Be careful." Ji Xiaoyu looked at Yu Zhun deeply, "We'll wait for you outside the palace gate."

After Yu Zhun nodded slightly, she pulled the other members who refused to leave and forcibly left the hall.

"Boom!"

As the door of the hall closed again, Su Hong looked at Ji Xiaoyu with a puzzled look, "Why don't we stay as the leader?"

"What if our staying here doesn't help but hinders us?" Ji Xiaoyu looked at Su Hong calmly and said softly, "No one knows what kind of mechanism the Crimson Demon Lord has this time."

"What if our staying triggers a certain skill mechanism, causing the president to be in greater danger?"

"The president's strength can't be much higher than ours, right?" Sarath couldn't help but ask, "Now we all have +20 red equipment, and we are all first-level players. Even if our talents are a little worse, we won't be a drag!"

"No." Ji Xiaoyu shook her head slightly, "Didn't you notice? The president changed his equipment immediately after changing his job."

"Although the new equipment is also disguised and its quality cannot be seen, what kind of equipment would make the president abandon the existing +20 red equipment and wear it immediately?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a set of legendary equipment that is better than red equipment."

Legendary equipment...

Everyone was silent at the same time.

I'm clearly trying hard to follow in the president's footsteps, but why do I feel like the distance between us is getting farther and farther?
Su Hong took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

"Vice President, are we just going to stand here?"

"No." Ji Xiaoyu squeezed the [communication button].

"Be prepared to fight and wait for the president's instructions."

"If he really needs our help."

“That’s when we’re with him.”
-
"How pitiful~"

With only Yu Zhun and the Crimson Demon Lord left in the hall, the latter looked at Yu Zhun with a teasing look.

"Your partner seems to be leaving you."

Yu Zhun, who had become accustomed to enduring the opponent's demonic power for a long time, slowly straightened his hunched back and chuckled when he heard this.

"how?"

"The one who came this time is the Mouth Cannon clone?"

The Crimson Demon Lord's expression froze, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"Yu Zhun, do you know how much loss you have caused me?"

"I don't know, but I don't mind hearing it from you." Yu Zhun moved his body which was a little sore due to the heavy pressure, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"To be honest, I'm quite curious."

The Crimson Devil opened his mouth, but when he thought about how He had only mentioned the word "punishment" ambiguously during their last meeting, Yu Zhun had been able to follow the clues and figure out his true identity, he closed his mouth again.

But in silence, the eyes of the Crimson Demon Lord became more ferocious.

A small copy of [The Tide of the Red Moon] actually does not contain much of His original power.

Not even one percent of His full strength.

But his punishment by the [Palace of Gods and Demons] was actually a conspiracy by his mortal enemy, and Yu Zhun's perfect attack on [The Tide of the Red Moon] just helped his mortal enemy complete the last link of the conspiracy.

Even a power difference of less than one percent would be drastically magnified in front of a being of his level.

As expected, the Crimson Demon Lord, who had finished his punishment, suffered a great loss at the hands of his mortal enemy, who was originally equally powerful as him.

The resulting losses have exceeded the value of dozens of copies of [Red Moon Tide].

And this is the most important reason why the Crimson Demon Lord also holds a grudge against Shang Yu Zhun.

He is not a kind person, otherwise he would not have chosen to walk the path of evil.

If there is a grudge, it must be avenged.

Seeing that the Crimson Demon Lord was silent, Yu Zhun did not intend to remain silent.

The opponent's health bar hasn't shown up yet, so he has no chance to kill him.

It’s not bad to take this opportunity to learn some things about the divine level.

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing I'm curious about." Yu Zhun looked at the Crimson Demon Lord and asked for advice. "You must have paid a high price for intervening in the First Turn Trial, right?"

"If I kill you again..."

"Wouldn't your loss be even greater?"

"boom--"

The demonic power that the Crimson Demon Lord had just restrained suddenly rolled back, and the sea of ​​blood under his feet surged into huge waves. The entire hall was shaking violently under the invisible pressure. It was obvious that the opponent was furious again because of Yu Zhun's words.

He clenched his hands, and after a moment of silence, he sneered.

"Just you?"

"With your SSS-level talent [Open and aboveboard]?"

"Or is it just your three-piece suit of the Netherworld and a mere Bloody Sacrifice made from the essence of a secondary demon?"

"Oh, there's an extra pair of boots." The Crimson Demon Lord glanced at the boots Yu Zhun was wearing with a sneer, "Where did these rags come from?"

"You deserve to kill me?"

Yu Zhun: “…”

His eyes blinked, and a strange emotion surged.

He was shocked that the other party saw everything about him clearly when they last met, even his talents. He was also puzzled as to why the other party did not see the legendary equipment he was wearing at the moment.

There is a feeling that the other person is a little smart, but not much.

Looking at Yu Zhun standing there in shock, a hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the Crimson Demon Lord.

Beings at the god level have the authority and ability to replay completed copies, similar to viewing a video playback.

At his level, he can easily analyze all the details and hidden messages in the playback.

Therefore, He was able to see through Yu Zhun's talent at the time, and all the equipment Yu Zhun was wearing and the corresponding effects of these equipment.

It has to be said that after watching it, the Crimson Demon Lord did feel the threat from Yu Zhun.

The "one-hit kill" mechanism that forces health to zero is one of the top mechanisms with extremely high strength among SSS-level talents.

But there is no unsolvable mechanism in this world, and the same goes for "one-hit kill".

And the three-piece set of the Netherworld...that thing will eventually make the Crimson Demon Lord have some concerns.

But...it's just some concerns.

After all, they were just three pieces of red clothing, which were like a drop of water in the ocean compared to that person's power, and were insignificant.

Last time in the special copy [Tide of Crimson Moon], the Crimson Demon Lord's pre-designed clone mechanism blocked all the players who tried to attack, but he missed the mechanism monster Yu Zhun.

There is no way around this. After all, according to the punishment rules, the preset Boss mechanism cannot be modified.

So he knew clearly that Yu Zhun could bypass his second and third stage mechanisms and kill him, but he could only watch.

But this time.

Not the same.

The Crimson Demon Lord came with a mechanism specifically designed to target Yu Zhun!
He is coming, He is coming, and He is coming with a new mechanism!

After making a lot of deductions in advance, the Crimson Demon Lord was very sure that with Yu Zhun's current talents and equipment effects, it would be impossible for him to win this highly targeted ambush!

Although the other party had an extra pair of boots whose details he didn't know.

嗏

The equipment effects of boots are all one-time.

A one-time effect also cannot circumvent its mechanism.

Thinking of this, the smug look in the eyes of the Crimson Demon Lord became even stronger. He looked at Yu Zhun and spoke softly.

"You guessed right. My intervention this time did cost me a lot."

"If I can kill you and restore the original power of [Red Moon Tide], it will be worth paying this price."

"Otherwise, I will have to pay a greater price."

"But..." A cold look appeared in the eyes of the Crimson Demon Lord. He slowly raised one hand and pulled out a blood-red magic sword from the sea of ​​blood under his feet.

"This time, you will be the only one to die!"

[Crimson Demon Lord Clone (Lv35)]

【Attributes:
Life: 1000w
Mana: 5w
Physical attack: 5w
Magic attack: 5w
Physical defense: 2w
Magic defense: 2w]

[Skill 1 (Blood Debt): When health points are about to decrease, immediately enter the [Blood Debt] state, and health points are locked for the next 10 seconds]

[Skill 2 (Blood Debt): In the [Blood Debt] state, mark multiple targets within the range. When the [Blood Debt] ends, each target will bear 20% of the amount of its own health reduction]

[Skill 3 (Scarlet): When HP is reduced to 10, HP is restored to full immediately and the player enters Scarlet Stance. Damage is converted to true damage and the player gains layers of Scarlet Power. Each layer can make the player immune to one attack.]

The moment he saw the skills of the Crimson Demon Lord clearly, cold sweat broke out on Yu Zhun's forehead.

When health value is reduced, health is locked for 10s, the designated target bears the reduced amount, the second state after health value returns to zero, immunity to attack and true damage.

This time, the Crimson Demon Lord came well prepared!

The mechanisms of these skills are all aimed at him!

From the moment the blood bar appeared, the Crimson Demon Lord was looking forward to Yu Zhun's expression after seeing the skills he had prepared for him this time.

And Yu Zhun's expression seemed to be what He expected.

This made the Crimson Demon Lord smile with satisfaction.

"It's fair and aboveboard. You have a great talent." The Crimson Demon Lord stretched out a finger. "I already know your name. I also know that you want to kill me. You only need one strike to reduce my life to zero."

"Then I will trigger [Blood Debt] and maintain full health within 10 seconds." Seeing Yu Zhun's solemn expression, the Crimson Demon Lord laughed, "No prize quiz, guess what will happen in 10 seconds?"

Before Yu Zhun could even open his mouth, He had already given the answer.

"One-hit kill is the mechanic, not the damage."

"Its ultimate goal is to force the health value to zero."

"In order to achieve this goal, One Hit Kill will automatically find the simplest method under the restrictions of equipment, talents, skills, etc."

"So, locking HP for 10 seconds is not enough to offset the one-hit kill effect. It can only delay the effect of forcing HP to return to zero by 10 seconds."

"After 10 seconds, my health will still be reduced to zero, and your..." The Crimson Demon Lord grinned, "Your health will be reduced by 200 million."

"Let me guess, are you hoping that the equipment effect [Shelter] of [Bloody Sacrifice] can help block this attack?"

"Unfortunately, a reduction in health points is not necessarily an injury."

"You can't block this blow!"

The Crimson Demon Lord laughed triumphantly, and walked towards Yu Zhun step by step on the blood pool. "In order to prevent any of your companions from changing their jobs to [Resurrection Priest], I will provide you with a chance to revive. I have also prepared the gift of [Scarlet] for you."

"Unfortunately…"

He walked up to Yu Zhun, his handsome face full of ferocity, "You are not worthy of this."

"Not necessarily." After a moment of silence, Yu Zhun suddenly raised his head.

If he was still wearing his previous red clothes and was still an assassin, and everything really turned out as the Crimson Lord said, he would not be able to escape.

嗏

He is the Thorn of the End.

【Death Knell】, start!

"clang--"

A bell sounded as if it was struck from nothingness, resounding throughout the hall.

The Crimson Demon Lord's expression paused slightly, a blood-red dagger mark appeared above his head, and at the same time, a message suddenly appeared in his mind.

[【The Thorn of the End】Yu Zhun, I have sounded the death knell for you! 】

"The end..." The Crimson Demon Lord murmured subconsciously, while Yu Zhun on the other side had already stabbed out the [Netherworld Mourning Demon Blade] without hesitation.

[Health value-10000000]

A red text popped up from above the head of the Crimson Demon Lord, but it seemed as if the pause button was pressed, so only half of it popped up.

Blood-red mist surged around the Crimson Demon Lord, and the blood bar above his head was still intact. There was a hint of regret in his eyes as he looked at Yu Zhun.

"Fancy, I thought you were going to surprise me."

"In the end, there is no difference."

"You have 10 seconds to compose your last words."

As he said this, he suddenly stabbed Yu Zhun with his sword.

【HP+75000】

Looking at the green words and the growing shield above Yu Zhun's head, the Crimson Demon Lord shook his head and put down the magic sword in his hand.

Since he was sure that his attack was not enough to hurt Yu Jun under the effect of [Deep Embrace], there was no need for him to waste his time.

Anyway, Yu Zhun would be dead in 10 seconds.

"Last words?" Yu Zhun looked at the Crimson Demon Lord with a strange smile.

"Those should be your last words."

As long as the Crimson Lord's health is emptied, the killing reward of [Death Knell] will take effect, increasing all his attributes by 50%, plus the 100% increase in all attributes brought by the helmet equipment effect [Roar]...

His 48w life will reach 84w.

Due to the limitation of the helmet equipment effect [Fearless], the 200 million health reduction cannot be caused all at once, but it will be completed in 5 seconds.

The existence of the armor equipment effect [Persistence] allows him to easily recover life equal to the damage per second.

In addition, since 50% of his health is deducted every second, the opponent's true damage cannot cause him any additional damage, which is equivalent to locking his health.
