Life Dungeon Game

“Although you are using Ronnie’s identity and appearance, you only know that Alifia is your ‘daughter’, but you don’t really believe that she is your daughter. You have never even seen what she looks like. Compared to Alifia, Jinya is your daughter.”

At this point, He Ao paused, "Of course, you don't really care about your children either, after all, your other children all died at the hands of the opposition that you personally supported back then."

When He Ao got to this point, the 'boss's' expression finally changed slightly.

He smiled and flipped his hands over. "It seems you have your own 'understanding' of what happened back then."

"It's not difficult to guess these things,"

Heo stared at him. "The 'anomaly' five years ago unfolded far too smoothly. The opposition easily overthrew the king and seized power. Although the Tia Empire helped in this, you..."

He's not stupid.

"During your more than ten years of rule, you have amassed a vast amount of wealth, practically turning the entire country of Jodan upside down. If you were just a foolish and tyrannical king, it would be easy for you to be destroyed, but you are not; you are very clever."

"After the kingdom was destroyed, a large amount of wealth disappeared without a trace. The outside world suspected that you had transferred the wealth away, but that's not the case. This money was secretly 'consumed' by you long ago, and the one who spent this money was the secret extraordinary organization you cultivated."

"This organization has existed for more than five years, and Claude is a member of it. Of course, it's reasonable for you to 'bring back' the 'missing' Prince Ronnie to serve as the leader of this organization."

“After learning about the existence of this extraordinary organization from Claude more than five years ago, I realized that things five years ago were not so simple. Of course, at that time I did not suspect your identity.”

"A superhuman can do a lot of things, let alone a tightly organized superhuman organization loyal to the king. Even with Moonlight's protection, the opposition would not have won so easily. But the fact is that the opposition has been unstoppable all the way."

"This can only mean one thing: the destruction of the kingdom is something that the 'king,' or rather, you, are happy to see. You want to use this event to break free from the constraints of your kingship and move from the forefront to the background."

"The fact that the Restoration Organization of the Kingdom of Ruodan still wields considerable influence in Ruodan proves this point. Your influence hasn't disappeared; it's merely shifted from overt to covert. I can even boldly speculate that the majority of the opposition is also your people."

"And those people that Kim Ah assassinated two years ago were actually the real 'opposition' who were unwilling to obey your orders."

"A wonderful story,"

The "boss" clapped his hands. "Since you say I am the last king who overthrew himself, then tell me, why would I give up being a good king and do all this trouble, and even use my brother's identity?"

"Being the king of Ruodan is not an easy job,"

He Ao's gaze remained calm. "I think your father, that deceased, diligent old king, didn't die of natural causes? And instead used his brother's identity..."

He Ao stared into the 'boss's' eyes. "Judging from your abilities, is it because of the 'ritual'?"

The 'boss's' abilities seem to be related to theft and substitution; perhaps his promotion to B-level is a ritual that requires him to replace someone's life.

When He Ao uttered the word 'ceremony,' the 'boss's' gaze froze slightly, then he smiled with relief.

"It seems you've learned quite a bit from Hao Yi. He sent you here to keep watch, didn't he?"

As he spoke, he opened his arms, and two short swords fell from his sleeves into his palms. "Little fellow, you're very clever,"

He said with a hint of remorse, "Living someone else's life is not an easy thing. When I wake up every morning, sometimes I even forget who I am."

When a superhuman's cognition is impaired, he is not far from madness.

"To be honest, you're very likable,"

The "boss," or rather the last king, Jonathan, walked step by step toward Heo. "It's been a long time since anyone knew my identity. The last time someone called me Your Majesty seems like a very, very long time ago, but..."

Keng——

The next second, he appeared behind He Ao, two short swords slashing towards He Ao's neck, but He Ao held them firmly with his bone sword.

"Now that you know about this, you must die. Use the power that gives you the confidence to ambush me."

The short sword's blade almost touched He's skin.

Knowing the existence of someone who knows Ruonati's true identity will deepen his cognitive biases and bring him one step closer to madness.

Therefore, He Ao must die.

At this moment, the corruption of the mysterious shadow still lingered in He'ao's mind, attempting to control He'ao's soul.

He Ao said so much just now in order to have time to calm himself down.

At the same time, He Ao activated the fake master's bracelet without hesitation.

This bracelet grants He Ao the physical attributes of a B-grade strength-type superhuman, but it also causes cognitive contamination.

Twisted contamination and immense power surged forth from his wrist almost simultaneously.

The appearance of this pollution created a brief standoff with the pollution from the mysterious shadow, which to some extent relieved Heo's pressure.

The power of the gods is extremely exclusive; if they encounter other corrupting forces, they will prioritize eliminating those that are corrupting.

Back in the beginner dungeon, He Ao used this characteristic to create a standoff between the God of Knowledge and the power in the mysterious box brought by Selena, thus buying himself time.

Of course, the clash between these two polluting forces in his mind can also have some impact on his body.

However, this effect is masked by the powerful force of the bracelet, making it tolerable.

With a sudden burst of strength, Heo pushed aside the short sword that was lodged in his throat, took a step forward, then swung his bone sword and turned to slash at Ronati behind him.

The violent sword light swept through the void, creating a huge sonic boom.

Ruonati raised his twin swords to block the sword light. The blades collided, and the powerful force was transmitted to Ruonati, sending him flying.

In mid-air, Ronati vanished as a black shadow.

The shadowy figure was moving so fast that it was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.

He Ao held his sword with both hands and glanced at his physical attributes. With the boost from the bracelet and Super Memory, his physical attributes had soared to 5987.

He took a half step back, his toes landing on the ground, shattering the concrete beneath his feet into several pieces.

When Nati's shadow appeared not far from He'ao, he looked at He'ao.

"Interesting, a supernatural item that enhances power, but such items have a time limit. Can you kill me in such a short time?"

He Ao didn't speak. He simply raised his sword, leaped into the air, and his body passed through the void, creating a sudden sonic boom.

A divine sense spread across the bone sword and slashed directly at Ruonati's body.

Ruonati had no idea that Heo could unleash such speed. He leaned back and tried to disappear into the shadows again, but it was too late.

The sharp bone sword sliced ​​through his clothes and tore open the flesh of his chest, splattering blood with a black sheen.

The next second, Ruonati's body completely turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

He Ao turned and landed with a loud thud, his feet sinking into the concrete ground, where he stood firmly.

Blood dripped down the pristine white bone sword. He Ao raised his head and looked ahead. "What do you think?"

Ruonati's figure also coalesced once more.

tick-

That was the sound of his blood dripping onto the ground.

The next second, He Ao's body rushed out again, slashing at Ruonati's face with his sword.

This time, Ronati's reaction was much faster than before; almost at the same moment Heo rushed out, his figure suddenly transformed.

It disappeared as a black shadow.

He landed on the ground again and looked around.

He now somewhat understood how Rhodes felt when he attacked him aboard the Verola.

Dealing with such an agile enemy is indeed not easy.

In terms of physical fitness, Ruonati was far inferior to Heo, who had been enhanced by the bracelet.

So after one or two direct clashes, Jornati gave up on direct confrontation with Heo and instead used his advantages to prepare for a war of attrition with Heo.

They'll drag it out until Heo's advancement period ends, or until he has complete control of the Verola.

However, this guy should still be around, because the feeling of trying to seize control of the Verola is still there, and the opponent's abilities clearly mean that he cannot stray too far from his target.

He Ao touched the bracelet on his wrist and looked up at his surroundings.

If that shadowy state of Runati could only be used for movement, otherwise he would have attacked directly with that elusive shadowy state without revealing his true form.

Therefore, Jannati should be somewhere in this hall right now.

However, the entire hall was completely empty; the perspective of Hypermemory doesn't lie.

Heo closed his eyes and began to try to listen to the thoughts in Jonathan's mind.

He placed a mark on Jonathan the moment they met.

Juna's thoughts were filled with a jumble of chaotic emotions, like surging waves, brimming with conflicting perceptions.

It took He Ao quite a while to find a useful idea.

Ruona felt there was a lot of dust nearby.

dust.

He quickly pulled his thoughts back. When dealing with a B-level opponent, one cannot constantly sense their thoughts, otherwise they are likely to be detected.

He looked up at the clean surfaces around him. Although the place was abandoned, it was still regularly maintained by staff to keep it basically tidy.

The divine sense instantly pierced through the ground and extended underground. After passing through a concrete layer of about two meters, a spacious basement appeared in the field of vision.

This basement should have an entrance connecting to this hall, but He Ao didn't have time to find the entrance.

Without hesitation, he plunged his sword into the ground, and with a twist, a large chunk of cement appeared. He picked up the cement and threw it away, repeating this a few times. Within seconds, he had dug through the cement layer and jumped down.

The instant He Ao jumped down, two sword lights came from the left and right, heading straight for his temples and neck.

He Ao grabbed the top edge of the hole with both hands and swung his arms, kicking the man away. The man crashed into the basement wall, smashing it and rolling into the space behind the basement.

The next second, the person disappeared, turning into a black shadow.

He Ao dangled from the edge of the hole with both hands, glanced around, but found nothing.

He immediately looked up and saw a short sword flying towards him from above. He Ao jerked his body forward, avoiding being pierced through the neck by the short sword, but the short sword still grazed his shoulder, leaving a bloody mark.

Immediately afterwards, He Ao exerted force and flung his body through the hole onto the ground.

At that moment, Jonathan, wielding a short sword and swords in both hands, attacked like a phantom.

He Ao suddenly raised his sword to block, and the two collided.

They bounced off each other and crashed into the wall.
