This assassin is upright

Chapter 160 The dungeon is coming, everyone is looking forward to it! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Divine World, Divine City.

This main city, ranked sixth among the thirty-six main cities, has seen a surge in the number of players in just two days, and the number of online players even surpassed that of the number one-ranked Shenqi City.

The reason for all this is a new copy that is about to come.

Although this copy has not officially arrived yet, the Divine Revelation Hall of Blue Star has already detected its specific location in advance and determined that this new copy that is about to arrive is located within the scope of Shenxuan City.

It will become a new permanent copy of Shenxuan City.

Many players heard the news and wanted to take advantage of the fact that they were on the same starting line as everyone else and get a piece of the pie in the initial copy strategy.

Inside the dungeon hall, in front of a new teleportation portal that had been built in advance, Yu Zhun stood still accompanied by all the members of the [God of Killing] Guild.

"Come on, President. We will all be watching you later!" Everyone kept cheering for Yu Zhun, their faces full of confidence in him.

"I'll do my best." Yu Zhun nodded with a smile.

In the past two days, he has already improved himself to the limit of what he can currently do.

First, the skills.

After upgrading to Lv40, Yu Zhun gained 8 skill points.

Using these 8 skill points, General Yu upgraded his Lv3 [Assassin Field] to Lv4, and upgraded his previously Lv1 Unparalleled Sword Dance to Lv2, further strengthening his melee capabilities.

In terms of attributes, Yu Zhun has upgraded the equipment levels of six pieces of Netherworld series legendary equipment from Lv35 to Lv40, and increased the enhancement levels of two weapons that had not been fully upgraded before from +24 to +25.

Although the improvement in the enhancement level is not high, the equipment attributes will increase by approximately 5% for every 40 levels of equipment level increase.

After all this, Yu Zhun's attributes reached new highs.

196w health, 91w physical attack, 36w physical defense and magic defense.

In addition, when he entered the [God and Demon Shop] two days ago, he bought [Water of Life] and other props that can produce effects in the copy, just in case.

It can be said that he is armed to the teeth this time!
Beside Yu Zhun stood several other powerful men.

Without exception, they are all Lv40 level warriors who maximize the attributes of their equipment as much as possible.

Because of parallel matching, multiple people on Blue Star can enter the dungeon at the same time, and players on the same server will not be matched.

Therefore, Yu Zhun was not the only one who made preparations in advance.

Taking advantage of the last moment before the final copy was about to come, Yu Zhun and several other people looked at each other and sent their blessings to each other.

No matter who wins the highest honor, the honor belongs to Blue Star.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, the empty portal shook violently, and a distorted space appeared inside.

It has connected to a brand new copy.

Lv40 permanent copy, [Purgatory Arena]!
After taking a last look at the people behind him, Yu Zhun stepped in.

In the chaotic matching space, lines of text emerged.

[Welcome to the permanent copy: Purgatory Arena (4A)]

[The copy rules are as follows:]

[1. All rewards in the dungeon are settled immediately]

[2. If you die in the dungeon, you will also die in the real world]

[3. Cross-server matching has been achieved, all members will enter the dungeon immediately, current matching number: 4723/10000]

[4. The dungeon is limited to 12 hours. If you exceed the time limit, it will be considered as a clearance failure]

[5. All players cannot leave the dungeon before the dungeon is cleared or the time is up]

【Everything is in purgatory! 】

Is it really a limited time copy?

A hint of something unexpected appeared in Yu Zhun's eyes.

12 hours may seem like a long time, but there are nearly players entering the dungeon, and it is quite tight to kill them all until the last one is left.

While Yu Zhun was thinking, in the blink of an eye, the remaining 5,000-plus matching servers were full.

The moment a new strategy guide is launched, hundreds of millions of players from nearly 100,000 servers join in to watch the dungeon like a tide.

【Welcome to the 4A difficulty dungeon [Purgatory Arena]】

As a line of text appeared, the environment around Yu Zhun had undergone earth-shaking changes.

At this moment, he felt as if he was in a furnace. The terrible high temperature was scorching everything around him. Under his feet was a desert that stretched as far as the eye could see. The occasional blowing sand and dust brought with it heat waves that blew in his face, making his cheeks hurt.

The impact of this environment is not limited to the senses, because after standing there for a second, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of Yu Zhun's eyes.

[Stay in place for 1s, you are affected by the burn of the Purgatory Desert, and your speed is reduced by 1%]

Yu Zhun: “?”

In addition to fighting with other players, there are such dangerous environmental debuffs in the [Purgatory Arena]?

While Yu Zhun was secretly shocked, in a place he couldn't see, the members of the [God of Killing] Guild were also surprised.

At this moment, they have successfully entered the same copy as Yu Zhun and are watching the game right next to Yu Zhun.

In addition to them, there were many players standing nearby. The desert, which looked extremely empty, was actually full of people.

"There are so many people watching the game." Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaimed, and subconsciously reached out to touch Yu Zhun. After seeing her hand pass through Yu Zhun's body, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I can't interfere with the strategy."

"The message can't be delivered either." Sarath took out the [Communication Button], shook his head after a brief attempt.

Although they have the same perspective as Yu Zhun, they are just bystanders in this copy.

"This dungeon is more troublesome than I thought." Shalewen, who had disappeared at some point, suddenly appeared beside the crowd with a serious look on her face. "I looked at the perspectives of other strategy players."

"This desert is only part of the [Purgatory Arena]. There are various harsh environments here, and each environment will bring completely different effects."

"In addition to the player's strength, the venue factor is also a very important factor."

"The president has taken action." Su Hong said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhun, who was standing in the same place, took out a pair of binoculars, looked around, then locked his eyes in a certain direction and began to move quickly.

"It's my [super-long-distance telescope] and [super-super-clear telescope]!" Saras put his hands on his hips, showing a proud expression.

"Are all the names of your props so long?" Yu Zhu was surprised.

"There are longer ones." Ji Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly, and then cast an inquiring look at Xila beside him.

"There is an enemy." Sheila's words were still concise, but they made everyone present's eyes light up.

Sure enough, the president has locked on the first target!
Their perspective changed rapidly following Yu Zhun, and they soon saw a vague figure on the other side of the desert.
-
"Hey! My friends and family and other viewers from all servers, are you watching me?"

A sturdy man in a wizard's robe, carrying a staff on his shoulder, walked in the desert with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, waving his hands in the air beside him.

Looking at the sturdy man's posture, he doesn't look like a mage at all, but more like a warrior.

In the game viewing screen, the relatives and friends standing next to the burly man couldn't help but hold their foreheads, while other players watching the game couldn't help but reveal strange expressions.

Such a mage is not common. The burly man in front of him seemed to be obsessed with interacting with the audience he couldn't see. "My name is Lloyd, a player from server 32376, and a first-level mage of the [Time and Space Mage]."

"Want to know more about me? Then follow my perspective all the way to victory!"

"President, please shut up." Among the players watching the game, a player from Lloyd's guild shook his head helplessly.

This talkative president actually brought his talkative attribute into the dungeon strategy. No wonder he was so happy after getting the information about the [Purgatory Arena]. It turns out that he found a new way to chat.

I haven't even found an opponent yet, but I'm exposed as soon as I change my career.

However, the other spectators were secretly shocked after hearing Lloyd's brief introduction.

【Time and Space Mage】!
This is the least chosen path among the four first-level professions of the mage, because this first-level profession has only four exclusive intermediate skills, and it is impossible to learn other intermediate skills of the mage system.

That is to say, in the first stage, their skills are almost fixed, unless they give up the intermediate skills and choose weaker primary skills.

Although there are many restrictions that result in a small number of players choosing this profession, the [Space-Time Mage] is definitely not a weak profession.

Because the exclusive skills of this profession have quite strange effects!

I didn't expect that this guy who doesn't look like a mage would have such a way.

If so…

They couldn't help but show interest in their eyes.

Then they will have to continue watching.

"Someone is coming over there." One of the spectating players suddenly turned his head to look in one direction and spoke quickly.

The others looked in the direction of the sound and soon saw a small black dot coming quickly towards them from the other end of the desert.

Judging from the direction the opponent was moving, there was no doubt that they were heading towards Lloyd.

And Lloyd also noticed the other party approaching.

"Oh?" A smile hung on his bearded face. "It looks like our first victim is about to appear."

As he spoke, Lloyd's pace suddenly quickened. As a mage, he actually took the initiative to rush towards the opponent on the other side.

The two people walking towards each other approached each other at a very fast speed, and soon they were close enough to see each other's general situation clearly.

"Red Name's light is not weak, but I'm no worse than him." Lloyd chuckled, "I'm an assassin."

"An assassin actually dared to attack so brazenly."

"Then let me teach you how to play the assassin!"

The moment Lloyd finished speaking, the two men entered combat distance.

"clang--"

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

The one facing Lloyd was Yu Zhun who was rushing towards him!
At the moment when the health bars of both sides light up, the boots equipment effect [Iron Hoof] takes effect!
Enter combat mode and immediately gain 100% increase in speed, physical defense, and physical attack, which lasts for 10 seconds!

Yu Zhun, who already had super high speed, was like a ray of faint light at this moment. In a flash, he had broken through a distance of dozens of meters, and the blade pointed directly at Lloyd's throat!
"You are too anxious." Lloyd smiled and slammed the staff in his hand into the ground.

"Boom-"

Along with a low muffled sound, a strange scene took place. The distance between Yu Zhun, who was rushing towards Lloyd at the fastest speed, and Lloyd, who was standing in the same place, was actually increasing!

The space between the two people seemed to be able to be stretched infinitely, making it impossible for the two to touch each other forever!

[Space-Time Mage] exclusive skill, [Distance Lost]!
Yu Zhun's pupils shrank and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The staff in the opponent's hand and such strange abilities instantly reminded him of that unpopular but powerful way of changing jobs.

"It's Distance Lost!" Salaven, who was watching the battle, looked serious. "Time and Space Mage is known as the ranged output that best restrains melee professions. It relies on this skill."

"With this skill, in the next 20 seconds, no matter how fast the Guild Master increases his speed, he will not be able to touch the target."

"Is it not possible to move?" Yu Zhu looked nervous.

"Regular displacement, no." Salaven shook her head. "Regular displacement skills move a specified distance in a specified direction, but [Distance Lost] is equivalent to stealing the concept of the distance between the two targets."

"There is only one way to avoid this ability." Shalewen took a deep breath, "That is to move to the designated target."

“If you don’t limit the distance, you can ignore the distance.”

"Don't worry." Sarath patted Shalevin on the shoulder and laughed, "It's just a small problem."

Among all the people present, he was the one who knew the effects of Yu Zhun's equipment best.

Almost at the same time when Salas opened his mouth, Yu Zhun swung the daggers in his hands lightly.

[Unparalleled Sword Dance] is activated.

Wearable weapon changed: [Netherworld Instant Magic Blade +25]!
The next moment, Yu Zhun pointed the blade towards Lloyd, and a dark shadow flashed behind Lloyd. He, who had been unable to get close to Lloyd, now appeared in front of Lloyd and killed him.

"die!"

At the moment when Lloyd showed a look of astonishment, Yu Zhun's dagger had already accurately pierced the opponent's chest.

【Life-273452】

Lloyd's health was emptied in an instant, but the expected death knell reward did not come.

"boom--"

Lloyd, whose chest was pierced, turned into green smoke. When he appeared again, he was already behind Yu Zhun, pointing the staff in his hand at Yu Zhun.

"What a great performance, young man."

"Click——"

A crystal-like cube formed in an instant, trapping Yu Zhun inside it. There was a red blood stripe above the cube.

[Space-Time Mage] exclusive skill, [Space Cage]!
The cage has independent defense and life attributes, and the specific value is related to the magic attack of the releaser. Before the health bar of the cage is cleared, the bound person cannot leave the cage.

But the attacks from outside are not affected!

Seeing the [Space Cage] take effect and instantly restrain Yu Zhun, a smile of victory appeared on Lloyd's face.

His immortality has nothing to do with his equipment or skills.

That's his talent.

SS-level talent, [Death Substitute Puppet].

Condense and store 1 substitute puppet. When the health value is about to reach zero, the substitute puppet will bear the last damage. The upper limit of the substitute puppet storage is 1. Each condensation takes 10 minutes.

He can gain the ability to die in place of others every 10 minutes. Lloyd has relied on this talent to escape death from dangerous situations many times!
And now, this talent saved him again!

"Well, your strategy ends here!"

The terrifying light blades that distorted the space gathered together in an instant, covering the entire cage like a storm!

[Space-Time Mage] exclusive skill, [Dimensional Storm]!
As the only output skill among the four exclusive skills of [Space-Time Mage], the output coefficient of this skill is extremely high!

A mere squishy assassin will surely die!
