This assassin is upright

Chapter 229 Is this also Blue Star's back-up plan? (Two in one, monthly ticket requested!)
Server world number 23993.

A group of powerful men were guarding nervously under the tallest tower in their world, their eyes fixed on the top of the tower.

There, a figure sitting cross-legged was looming, and an increasingly terrifying aura was surging around him, as if he was undergoing a transformation.

This is Augustine, the strongest person in their world.

He used to be a Lv90 player, but now, he is only one step away from his third job change.

Once Augustine breaks through this last step, Server 23993 will become a divine zone, and will have greater initiative in interactions with other servers.

besides…

For the server world No. 45239 that had repeatedly caused them to suffer setbacks before, it was time to settle accounts after Augustine's breakthrough!

Anger appeared in the eyes of all the strong men at the same time.

They have had a hard time in the past one or two months!

Second-level players hardly dare to enter the dungeon because they will die if they show up.

The first-level players originally responded positively to the [First-level Killing Order], but after being repeatedly suppressed at the equipment level, they are now hesitant to move forward.

The strategies of first- and second-level players for dungeons are the main source of medals earned in a world.

In the past month or two, the income from the God and Demon Medals on Server 23993 has almost plummeted to one-tenth of the past.

If they were not so wealthy and powerful, and if they did not have the pressure of hiring gods, they would have collapsed long ago.

But even so, we can't continue like this.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. They are used to earning a large number of medals of gods and demons from copies, and they cannot get used to living a frugal life.

Fortunately, all this is coming to an end.

Thinking of this, anticipation and joy emerged in the eyes of the powerful men in the field.

As long as Augustine truly completes his final transformation, a mere server number 45239 is not worth mentioning at all.

"How long will it take Lord Augustine to complete the breakthrough?" One of the impatient warriors couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, yes, I can't wait to see Server 45239 kneeling down and begging for mercy." Another strong man responded.

Upon hearing this, other powerful men also began to discuss the matter.

"It should be soon."

The second strongest man besides Augustine thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "The third transformation is different from the second transformation we experienced before."

"After completing the third-level trial, which is the strategy for the 5A copy [God-enlightened World], you will still need to go through a period of transformation."

"Transforming the power that originally belonged to the players into the power of origin will cause major changes in the system."

"Augustine has completed the strategy and is currently at this stage." He raised his head and looked at the blurry figure above him. "As long as he finishes this stage, he will be a true third-level warrior."

"Speaking of which, what does it take to clear the [Divine Revelation World]?" One of the strong men couldn't help but ask, "Are there any specific requirements? For example, clear all the dungeons in the Divine Revelation World?"

"How is that possible?" Another expert couldn't help but shook his head. "It's impossible to clear every low-level dungeon at once."

"Besides, Lord Augustine hasn't cleared all of them."

“I feel like there should be other requirements.”

"It is said that the requirements for clearing a level are not exactly the same for everyone." The second strongest man looked at everyone and then said calmly, "Only when you reach Lv90 can you find out your own requirements for clearing a level."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Apart from anything else, just reaching Lv90 is something that many of them will achieve in their lifetime.

As everyone chatted, an increasingly powerful aura emerged from the top of the tower, until a certain moment, a shattering sound resounded in everyone's heart.

This shattering sound had no source, but the moment it sounded, all the strong men present knew its meaning at the same time.

That was the sound of the second world's protection being broken.

From today on, server 23993 is not allowed to hire foreign gods. Once all local gods have fallen, it will enter the dungeon mode.

At the same time, server 23993 will also be given a new name.

There is a divine area!
Excitement flashed in the eyes of the strong men. They looked up suddenly and looked at the figure on the platform who had completed the transformation and was slowly standing up.

The originally white-haired old man has now turned into his younger self. He no longer exudes the air of old age, as if time has stopped flowing for him.

Augustine, who was not much different from everyone else except that he had a stronger aura, now naturally had a sacred light surging from his body. Just seeing him made people want to worship him.

This is the essential crushing of life!

Although they all know that after Lv90, they are not gods, but just third-level players.

But at this moment, seeing the transformed Augustine, they still felt great awe in their hearts.

With such an aura, what’s the difference between you and a god?

"tread--"

Augustine took a step forward and came in front of the crowd. Looking at everyone who couldn't help but lower their heads after meeting his gaze, his eyes flashed with an ice-blue light. He couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling the powerful strength in himself that was completely different from the past.

"From now on, I am the Frozen God, Augustine."

After he finished speaking, Augustine seemed to realize something and looked up to his side.

A handsome young man had stood beside him without him noticing.

The god previously employed by server 23993.

【The Messenger of Inspiration】Montpel.

"You broke through faster than I expected." Montpellier looked at Augustine without the playful mood he had before.

Although he had just broken through, Augustine in front of him had already become a level 3 player like him.

Moreover, for some reason, as a veteran third-turn cultivator who had broken through a long time ago, Montpellier faintly smelled a hint of danger from Augustine who had just broken through, which made him not want to cause any trouble.

"I'm here to say goodbye."

Monpel straightened his face and said, "According to the supplementary clause of the contract, after the second layer of protection of the world disappears, the contract will automatically become invalid."

"After this time, I will never come to this world again."

"It's only been six months since Server World 23993 last renewed its contract. I need to refund you half a year's fee."

"No need." Augustine shook his head slightly, "I won't be so fussy about just one thousand medals. After all..."

Montpellier's expression relaxed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Augustine's next sentence slowly.

"Everything you have is mine."

what? !

Montpellier's pupils suddenly shrank, and the next moment he felt a pain in his chest.

"Pfft-"

An icicle pierced his chest.

Then, the second and third...

Ice cages filled with terrifying energy took shape almost instantly, imprisoning Montpell within the formation.

"Augustine!!!"

Montpellier only had time to let out a resentful roar before he was completely silent.

When all the ice and snow were broken, only countless fallen equipment remained on the field. On top of those equipment, there was a small hill of mythical fragments shining with colorful light.

There was deathly silence in the field.

Even the strong ones in this world were speechless when they saw this scene.

“Augustine, you…” The second strongest man widened his eyes, his voice trembling with astonishment, “You killed Mompel?”

"It's time to slaughter the raised livestock." Augustine placed one hand on the myth fragment and quickly absorbed it.

The next moment, he seemed to have broken through a certain limit, and his already powerful strength soared again, reaching a terrifying level that suffocated everyone.

Deification, fourth stage!
A flash of surprise flashed across Augustine's eyes.

The myth fragments absorbed before the third transformation to strengthen talents will be transformed into the same level of deification after the third transformation.

If a player who has just broken through the third level can reach a higher level of origin deification in advance, it will be enough to ensure that he can gain a firm foothold in the early stage.

This is also the reason why Augustine has not made a breakthrough yet.

He is accumulating foundation.

In his hasty breakthrough, even if Augustine collected everything, he only reached the third stage of deification, and there was still a certain distance from the fourth stage.

Unexpectedly, absorbing the mythological fragments separated out after the death of Montpell, who was only at the second stage of deification, actually allowed him to break through to the fourth stage of deification.

Feeling his own strength further improved, Augustine breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the only thing he lacked was probably level.

Even with his previous accumulation, he had just broken through and could only barely reach Lv93.

After the third transformation, each time you advance a level of deification, in addition to the additional origin bonus you gain, the level cap will also be increased by 10 levels.

The highest level can reach Lv180.

The upper limit of the level of the fourth-stage deified Augustine has reached Lv130. If he can raise his level to above Lv120, he can directly become a middle-level player among the third-level players.

While he was excited, Augustine did not forget the people around him. He glanced at everyone present and then spoke in a deep voice.

"I specifically sought out a weak third-level warrior to work with just for this moment."

"If you take something from me, you must not only spit it out, but also return it double."

Hearing Augustine's cold and ruthless words, everyone present felt a tremor in their hearts at the same time. It was obvious that there was a subtle warning in his words.

The second strongest was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "I am old. Now that you have broken through the third level, everything will be fine. From now on, I will no longer attack dungeons, and live a peaceful life."

After showing his attitude of not fighting for the third turn, he turned around and left without any reluctance.

Augustine watched the other person disappear on the spot, then he slowly retracted his gaze and looked at the other people present.

Although they had experienced unexpected changes one after another, after a brief silence, the strong men had guessed what Augustine was going to say next, and they couldn't help but show excitement.

"The time for revenge has come!"

Augustine's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a deep voice, "I will make the server world No. 45239 pay a sufficient price."

"Let the rest of the world know the consequences of angering me, Augustine."

A new official has three things to do when he takes office. As a newly promoted third-rank strongman, he naturally needs to do something to let other third-rank strongmen know that he, Augustine, is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone.

Blue Star is the best target.

After the third transformation, Augustine not only had an improvement in strength, but also gained many new permissions.

Before, he had no way to deal with Blue Star’s countermeasures, but what happened next was different.

Why are the areas with gods superior to the areas without gods?
This is because if a third-level player is determined to target a godless world, the opponent will have almost no way to crack it.

"I'm going to the Palace of Gods and Demons first."

After saying this, Augustine disappeared on the spot.

For players before the third level, the only chance to come into contact with the Palace of Gods and Demons is the Gods and Demons Shop that appears after each dungeon walkthrough.

But the Gods and Demons Shop is not the Gods and Demons Palace.

It was just one of the myriad projections in an insignificant corner of the Palace of Gods and Demons.

Players at the third level cannot enter the Divine Revelation World, but they have the permission to enter the Palace of Gods and Demons, and can pass through the Palace of Gods and Demons to go to the 5A copy which is of the same scale as the [Divine Revelation World] but has a higher level cap!

Augustine's purpose of entering the Palace of Gods and Demons this time was not to enter other 5A copies.

The privileges unlocked by the third-level player include the privilege to exchange medals of gods and demons, and more resources of the Palace of Gods and Demons will be open to him.

In addition to some powerful treasures that can only be used after the third transformation, there are also myth fragments that can be exchanged without restrictions.

Yes, the purchase limit on myth fragments in the God and Demon Store is only a limitation before the third level. After the third level, this limit no longer exists.

This alone makes a qualitative difference between players who have reached the third level and those before the third level.

Augustine wanted to use the large amount of [Myth Fragments] he had accumulated to improve his strength as much as possible in a short period of time.

When Augustine reappeared, he was already standing in a hall that was so magnificent that it looked like a palace in mythology or legend.

"Is this the reception hall of the Palace of Gods and Demons?"

Augustine looked around, feeling the amazing energy that filled every inch of space, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.

Before the third transformation, Augustine had already found out some information about the Palace of Gods and Demons, but when he actually came to this huge force that towered over countless worlds, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

You know, this so-called Reception Hall is the place where every third-level player must appear when he comes to the Palace of Gods and Demons for the first time. To the entire Palace of Gods and Demons, it is just a corner on the edge.

Even this corner of place is beyond imagination. Augustine has begun to look forward to entering the core area of ​​the Palace of Gods and Demons and seeing what amazing sights he will see.

Although he was at the age of death, Augustine still had a bit of youthful vigor and vitality because of the transformation of his life.

Taking a deep breath, he strode out of the hall.

Then Augustine was stunned.

Outside the hall, there stood a woman with long golden hair. There was golden light surging around her body, and she had a power as warm as the sun.

"You..." Augustine looked puzzled and solemn.

Because he was sure that he had never seen the other person, but he sensed hostility from the other person.

Augustine's heart trembled, and he dared not be careless. The ice in his hand condensed rapidly and turned into a staff that spewed out coldness.

At the third level, players no longer wear equipment, and weapon types are naturally no longer limited to the past five, but Augustine, who was born as a mage, is still used to the feeling of holding a staff.

With the staff in hand, Augustine felt more confident and looked at the other person with a gloomy face, "Who are you?"

"My name is Yola." The woman spoke calmly, and the light slowly gathered in her hands, eventually forming halos around her wrists.

"I was asked to kill you."

Entrusted by someone?
Augustine was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became more gloomy. "No matter who ordered you to come here..." Augustine raised the staff in his hand, and the momentum of the fourth stage of the divine Lv93 soared into the sky, and the terrifying pressure caused the surrounding void to explode.

"Fourth stage of deification..."

Yora frowned slightly, and her expression soon became serious. Feeling the pressure coming from the front, she no longer suppressed her own strength.

"boom!!!"

Along with a low roar in the void, the same four sections of deified original power transformed into sun-like divine rings and appeared behind Him.

Both of them were at the fourth stage of deification, but after Yora’s power exploded, it took only a short moment to completely crush Augustine.

【God of Light】Yora, Lv104.
-
"Hello, seniors."

Yu Zhun walked quickly into the Shenqi Hall, greeted all the powerful people gathered there, and then looked at Zhu Xiuming.

"Senior Zhu, I heard that Augustine has made a breakthrough?"

"Yes." Zhu Xiuming nodded. "Server World No. 23993 did not hide this news. Instead, it announced its promotion to a divine zone with great fanfare."

"Server 23993 was almost dead because of our pressure. Now that they finally have some good news, they will not hide it." Lillian sneered, "They are counting on this good news."

The other strongest ones nodded in agreement.

For the players on server 23993 who had been sluggish for months, this news was like a shot in the arm.

But well...

Thinking of their arrangements, everyone looked a little more strange.

"I just hope they won't be too desperate when they hear the news of Augustine's death." Ahsoka said softly.

"With the help of [God of Light] Yora, there shouldn't be any big problems." Ji Ruoxu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Yu Zhun.

It was because of Yu Zhun's perfect decision when he conquered [Dragon Burial City] that Yora was able to restore her own world. This favor also became the bond between Blue Star and Yora.

"It's not that long for Yora to be in the third stage." Yu Zhun was not as optimistic as the other powerful ones. "I don't know how strong he is now."

Yora is the successor chosen by the previous [God of Light], not the previous [God of Light].

Therefore, after He restored the world, he was no different from a player who had just broken through the third level. And it had only been a few months since Yu Zhun finished the strategy of [Dragon Burial City], which did not give Him much time to improve.

"I've thought about this question before, so I learned about it in advance when I discussed the plan with Him two days ago." Ji Ruoxu smiled, "Yola's current level is Lv104, the fourth stage of deification."

Worried that some people were unclear about the level after the third transformation, he introduced the level system after the third transformation and then continued speaking.

“Although Yora is still a long way from the current level cap, Augustine has just reached level 3, so he is definitely not stronger than her.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and even Yu Zhun put aside some of his worries and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a golden feather floated out from nothingness and landed in front of everyone.

As the feathers dissipated, Yora's hurried voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Augustine is also at the fourth stage of deification. I can't kill him in a short time. He has already started calling for help."

As the voice echoed, the emotions that had just calmed down were instantly lifted.

"Oh no." Ji Ruoxu's expression changed. He was no longer as calm as before, and his expression instantly became serious.

"I didn't expect Augustine to have such a background. He has already reached the fourth stage of deification after just three transformations."

That’s a total of 820 myth fragments!
Although he was at a disadvantage in terms of level, Augustine, who was also at the fourth stage of deification, had no problem holding out for a while in Yora's hands.

If Augustine called for help, Yora would not be able to defeat the opponent in a one-on-many battle.

"Let that person take action." Without hesitation, Ji Ruoxu looked at Zhu Xiuming standing aside.

Yora was the opponent they arranged for Augustine, but she was definitely not the only one.

"Okay." Zhu Xiuming nodded slightly, and then started calling people.

Seeing Zhu Xiuming's actions, Yu Zhun's expression also became nervous.

Are the arrangements made by our predecessors really enough?
-
"boom!!!"

With a roar that shook the earth and the sky, Augustine's body slammed heavily into a majestic stone pillar. The aftermath alone set off an energy storm, and cracks appeared faintly in the surrounding void.

Looking at Yora, who was walking towards him step by step, as hot and bright as the sun, Augustine staggered down with the corners of his mouth twitching fiercely.

After the third transformation, the level has a significant impact on the improvement of attributes. The level difference of 11 makes Augustine, who is also a fourth-level deification, have almost no strength to fight back when facing Yora, not to mention that the opponent's origin still restrains him to a certain extent.

Fortunately, Augustine was no pushover.

Without some skills, he wouldn't dare to break through the third level easily.

Long before his breakthrough, Augustine had already made friends with many third-turn experts so that he could avoid taking detours after his breakthrough.

At this moment, as soon as he realized that he was no match for Yola, he chose to ask for help from a third-level strongman he was familiar with.

Although this will require him to pay a certain price afterwards, the most important thing is to be able to get through this disaster safely.

"Yola, I have no grudge against you." Augustine spoke quickly while dodging the opponent's terrifying attack.

"You've seen it too. I've called for help, and they're on their way. Do you really want to continue the stalemate with me?"

"I was asked to do this." Yora responded calmly. She raised her hand casually, and layers of light circles lit up on her wrist. The platinum light carried a terrifying high temperature that was enough to melt everything, and it bombarded Augustine like a heavy artillery.

Augustine's pupils shrank and he raised the staff in his hand. Countless ice walls instantly rose from the ground, standing between him and the light.

However, the good times did not last long. Under the terrifyingly high temperature, the ice wall melted at an extremely fast rate. Even though new ice walls continued to rise from the ground, the speed at which they were created still could not keep up with the speed at which they melted.

Feeling the ice wall being melted away at an extremely fast speed, Augustine's expression became more solemn, "Who on earth asked you to kill me!"

Seeing that Yora remained silent, a flash of light flashed through Augustine's mind, and he finally thought of a possibility.

"It's server 45239!" Augustine gritted his teeth.

Yora's eyes were slightly disturbed, and then she regained her composure, "Let's end it."

The terrifying aura was rising from Yora's body, and it seemed as if He was going to pour all His strength into the next attack.

Behind Him, platinum-colored divine rings made Him look as holy and powerful as a real god.

"Ember Light Nirvana."

As Yora's voice fell, the platinum-colored divine rings shattered one by one, and the terrifying energy bursting out from them turned into platinum-colored light, indiscriminately covering everything in the range.

Seen from a distance, Yora at this moment seemed to have really turned into a sun, extremely dazzling.

Augustine's pupils contracted violently, and when he raised his hand, countless ice wrapped him completely, like an airtight ice house blocking him from the light. However, the light seemed to grow from nothingness, and could not be blocked in any way, and quickly spread over His body.

The burning pain in his body and soul made Augustine howl in agony, and the health bar above his head was rapidly decreasing.

The next moment, a deep voice rang out.

"Return to darkness."

Endless black flames surged in from the distant horizon, madly and violently devouring the platinum light.

Yora groaned, and her strength was suppressed in an instant.

His expression instantly became solemn. He raised his head and stared at the figure approaching him rapidly, and spoke word by word.

"【Dark Flame Demon General】Chak."

"Where did you come from, little kid? You're quite knowledgeable." Chuck, who was dressed in black armor, raised his eyebrows and looked at Yora. "Since you know me, you should know that my strength is not something you can deal with."

As He said this, He pointed to Augustine who had escaped the disaster below. "I'll protect him."

"No, Chuck." Augustine panted, with a fierce look in his eyes, "Let's kill Him together, and all the myth fragments will be yours."

"Oh?" Chuck's eyes were full of amusement. He glanced at Yora and chuckled, "Did you hear that?"

"Now, you can't leave."

Yora's expression gradually became solemn.

He had heard of this guy before him.

The opponent was also at the fourth stage of deification, but unlike players like them who had just completed the third stage not long ago, his level had already reached the upper limit of Lv130.

Moreover, Chuck's original power just happened to restrain him.

Even if he faced the opponent alone, he would never be the opponent.

What's more, there is also an Augustine here.

Yora clenched her fists slightly and was about to speak, but a voice came faster than hers.

"Oh, it's so lively."

A fourth figure appeared on the scene.

He was a muscular man with his upper body naked, wearing a primitive leather skirt and carrying an exaggerated hunting bow on his back.

"It's not good for two grown men to bully a little girl." With a smile, the bow hunting man stood beside Yora.

"How about counting me in?"

"[God of Hunting] Belur." Chuck's eyes darkened slightly, "Why are you here?"

"I'm asked to do this." Belur smiled innocently, scratched his head, and then took out his hunting bow from behind. "I'll come and meet you."

Another commission from someone else!

Augustine had an urge to curse at this moment.

He could feel that the bow hunting man in front of him was in no way inferior to Chuck's strength.

"You were also invited by server number 45239?!"

"No." Belur smiled and shook his head. "It was an old friend from server 39393 who asked me to help."

Server 39393...

Augustine's eyes were filled with confusion again.

He made sure he had not offended the other party.

That’s all…

"Chuck, take action." Augustine's eyes suddenly flashed with ruthlessness, "I will pay an extra price."

"Okay." Chuck smiled and looked at Belur, "Let's have a fight..."

The next moment, the momentum of both sides soared into the sky, and two different original forces, one black and one brown, intertwined in the void, as if to cover the sky. Only the figures of both sides could be vaguely seen colliding in it.

Yora and Augustine naturally did not stop their attacks, but their strength was dwarfed by that of the other two.

After the fierce collision, a loud laugh suddenly rang out.

"It was fun this time, let's continue next time."

The next moment, the brown original power rapidly dissipated in the void, and Belur appeared, pulled Yora, turned around and disappeared on the spot.

"You..." Looking at Belur who took her away, Yora's expression was instantly confused.

Although He didn't know the other party, it was obvious that everyone was invited by Blue Star to take action against Augustine.

But now, Augustine is not dead yet.

"Are we leaving now?"

"You are so naive, little girl." Belur shook his head with a smile, "The two of us can't beat each other."

Yora was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Belur's body was covered with a large number of black burn marks that would never go away.

The two sides, seemingly evenly matched, do not seem to be so.

“Although the Black Flame Demon General is only at the fourth stage of deification, he is considered to be relatively strong among the demon generals.” Belur explained casually, “Ordinary fifth stage deifications don’t want to meet him.”

"I'm lucky I could save you."

"We are both trusted by others. Why risk our lives?"

"This..." Yora pursed her lips.

He really wanted to say that the favor he owed Yu Zhun was worth risking his life for, but in the end he didn't say it out loud.

"But, are we going to let Augustine go like this?" Yora said solemnly, "Now is the best time to kill him."

"Once he enters the core area of ​​the Palace of Gods and Demons and exchanges the Gods and Demons Medals for a large number of treasures, he will become even more difficult to kill after his strength increases."

"Even if we were not entrusted by someone, we have already made enemies with them. If they have a chance to deal with us in the future, they will definitely not let us go."

"You have a point." Belur nodded in agreement, then laughed, "But don't worry."

"I guess we don't need to do anything about that guy."

"Hmm?" Yora looked at the other person in confusion.

As far as He knows, Blue Star should have no other backup plan.

"Could it be that Chuck will take action against Augustine?" Yora guessed.

Powerful demons are not easy to deal with, so it is not impossible that Chuck saved Augustine and then killed him.

“That won’t happen.” Belur shook his head slightly. “Although Chuck is a demon, he is very principled. Augustine paid a price to make him take action, and he will not take action against Augustine again.”

"I'm talking about another hidden guy." Belur's expression became a little more serious. "Little girl, my original ability may be a little weak in frontal combat, but it's not weak in other aspects."

"My original ability is unmatched in terms of perception."

"I felt it clearly during the battle just now."

"There is a fifth person on the battlefield."

"And..." Belur paused, "It is very likely that he is a demon lord above the seventh level of deification."

Yora's pupils shrank and she showed an expression of disbelief.

Just now, there was another demon lord lurking in the dark?
Could this also be Blue Star's back-up plan? !
