Re-live your life and start speedrunning

Only Zhang Yingguang was not in the mood to think too much.

He just gulped down mouthfuls of blood and cursed in his heart!

Every spiritual fire that Li Re ignites with his sword is the product of his blood and tears!

At this moment, the stone demon 'Leslet' swung his fist and finally pressed down on the arc of light spread out by the long sword in Li Re's hand.

The light scattered by the densely packed red eyes on the fist once again extinguished and extinguished the spiritual fire ignited by the arc light. The impact formed by the huge pressure pushed away everything and crashed into the figure below.

Li Re did not dodge or evade, but met the attack with a long sword in hand.

He is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or even more like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

After the roar, there was another roar - in an instant, the huge stone arm directly crushed the arc of light cut by the long sword!

The sword energy splashed and shattered at the boundary between red and green, and the scarlet color spread as the fist turned, blowing in all directions like smoke rising from a furnace.

Li Re slashed with his sword.

Facing the devil's fist, he couldn't even stop it for a moment!

"Even the ultimate swordsmanship can't break through the confrontation? It's worthy of being the side quest boss of the D-level copy!" Cheng Shiyu flicked her long sleeves, and her palm once again tightly grasped the hilt of the Chixiao Sword! She became slightly excited. Seeing the ultimate swordsmanship, she was more or less eager to try and didn't want to fall behind.

However, this time, she still didn't have time to make a move.

The huge stone hand passed through the crushed arc of light, striking down like a scarlet lightning, but suddenly collapsed the next second!

The red light that enveloped Leslet's fists and arms had huge cracks emerging from bottom to top, exposing the cold gray stone skin inside.

At this time, the tip of the fist had reached the top of Li's head.

This is also the time.

Facing the fist that was powerful enough to crush him, Li Re did not retreat but instead raised the long sword in his hand and slashed out again!

The knife light spread across the prairie again, bringing with it an intense and fierce flame. The surging spiritual fire instantly climbed up the gray and cold stone. The spiritual power that should have been separated by the scarlet - at this moment, it climbed up directly along the crack that was cut!

Just for a moment!

The spiritual fire ignited the demon Leslate again!

Even though the red light spread again and again, it could not be extinguished again.

Roar!

The stone demon, which had remained silent all the time, opened its eyes wide. Hanging high up, it watched the flames run along its arms to between its eyebrows. Finally, it couldn't help but let out a low roar.

There was anger and pain in this roar.

It...felt the pain!

Immediately following, not only was the fist stolen again, but the falling arm also lost control again, broke apart - fell apart!

With a thud, the fist that was pressing on my head the previous second now seemed like a collapsed stone embankment. What was seen after it broke was not a flood, but lime falling like sand and dust.

Cheng Shiyu was still in a daze.

However, under the powerful perception of psychic energy, Li Re put down the long sword in his hand.

it's over!

he thought.

Sure enough, the next second, the stone giant whose eyebrows were penetrated by the spiritual fire suddenly burst into bursts of green flames amid a buzzing sound!

——Having lost his arms and the countless eyes that had been transferred to his arms, this demon that had just looked extremely terrifying and horrifying has now become fuel for the spiritual fire without any power to struggle.

Even its outstretched wings were covered in green fire.

The huge body completely turned into a green fireball, like a strange sun hanging in the dome of the library. The light that fell then covered countless upside-down and standing bookshelves with layers of strange colors.

The gargoyle demon that was so ferocious just a moment ago, now had no resistance under Li Re's second knife - but this was not because it was weak, but because Li Re was too "strong"!

Facts have proved that although the gargoyle is a demon, it is also a "ghost". It is a creation that combines mystery and supernatural power. The red light is a mysterious power, but its body is forged by the supernatural.

As long as the mysterious red light is stripped away, all that remains is the supernatural.

And the supernatural——

It can be burned!

It was just restrained by Li Re!

Without this layer of restraint, even Cheng Shiyu, whose strength was no less than Li Re's, would not be able to face this gargoyle so easily - and might even be in danger!

of course,

No matter what the truth is.

At this moment, victory is already a fact.

Cheng Shiyu exhaled softly, she spun the sword in her hand and formally put it back into the sheath, then shook her tender white palms which were slightly red from clenching and unclenching twice, and she couldn't help but snort on her face, looking unhappy, but she still couldn't help grinning.

"You win this time," she repeated.

anyway,

Being able to kill the dungeon boss is something to be happy about!

[Congratulations to player 'Li Re' for killing the demon Leslet and completing the side quest (Part 1)]

[Specific rewards will be issued after clearing the level]

Such information appears in the sight of every player almost at the same time.

The illegal players finally woke up from their dream.

They are also more incredible.

Li Re glanced back and met Cheng Shiyu's beautiful and pure smile from the heart, and couldn't help but smile too.

Although he failed to test his own limits this time, he did not gain nothing.

At least, at that moment, in addition to defeating the gargoyle, he also did another thing——

[You obtained the item: Special Spiritual Item - Spiritual Court]

Yes.

At this moment, no one noticed, either in shock or in disbelief, that Zhang Yingguang, who was lying on the side, was already dying, his whole body twitching as if his consciousness had been temporarily taken away.

In his spiritual realm, the blazing spiritual fire had disappeared long ago.

But along with the spiritual fire, the special item stored in his mind also disappeared.

"With the help of the short-term blessing of mysterious power gained when the spiritual fire ignites the gargoyle, it is indeed possible to steal spiritual items that should be unstealable!"

Li Re thought so in his heart.

He couldn't help but feel proud of the sudden inspiration that came to him during the battle.

He has long been attracted by this special prop that can be used to judge others, but can also backfire on itself if the crimes of the person being judged are too serious!

Chapter 103: How to clear the level and the branch quest that was completed abruptly

A moment later, the dark interior of the library was lit up again, and a soft halo of light sprinkled from the dome, illuminating the rows of magnificent bookshelves, but the area near the front was in a mess, with broken floors and books scattered on the ground, which undoubtedly confirmed the intensity of the previous conflict.

Of course, no matter how intense it was, that was a thing of the past.

Shen Lian walked out from the gap between the books and looked at the scene in front of him and subconsciously wanted to smoke, but when he thought that this was still a copy, his hand that took out the lighter paused, and then quickly withdrew it, just holding the unlit cigarette in his mouth.

“It always feels like a dream.”

He thought so and said so, but he hid in the bookshelf for a while. When he came out, he found that this group of notorious "illegal players" had all been arrested. Anyone would think that this was a dream!

Yes, at this moment all the illegal players have been arrested.

After Li Re defeated the demon 'Leslet', the illegal players had no more tricks up their sleeves. 'Zhang San', whose trump card was destroyed, had no chance of resisting Li Re and Cheng Shiyu who were in good condition.

Surrounded by Cheng Shiyu's Sword Heart Furnace, they couldn't even run away - they could only passively stay where they were and accept arrest obediently after Li Re woke up the cleaning department members hiding in the book.

"Captain, they have all been detained!"

An elite member of the cleaning department came towards Shen Liandao.

Shen Lian glanced at the illegal players surrounded by his subordinates, their faces showing some despair or unwillingness, and he couldn't help but smacked the cigarette in his mouth.

As arrogant as these guys were before, they are in such a mess now.

Even 'Zhang San' looked listless, as if his vitality had been drained.

Not only that, they even dared to use the 'copy' as a trap to ambush them... Then again, they are all players, but those two guys were so comfortable when dealing with that kind of situation - they even completed a side quest. They are truly 'monsters'!

Shen Lian, who was awakened by Li Re and listened to Li Re's brief account of what had just happened, glanced sideways. He swept his gaze across the rows of steps towards the deeper parts of the library. The central statue that he had seen at a glance before had disappeared. At the top of the steps, there was only a standing door and two people standing in front of the door.

He felt emotional in his heart, but did not step forward to speak.

Instead, he personally directed his subordinates to arrest illegal players on the spot... The listless Zhang San also glanced at Li Re from afar while under custody. Even though the spiritual fire that was burning fiercely in his consciousness had long been extinguished as the Spiritual Court was stolen, the feeling of having his spirit forcibly pulled out, completely losing consciousness, and being on the verge of death still fills him with unspeakable fear.

The supernatural and unknown often symbolizes fear that people cannot guard against.

Li Re stood in front of the door and looked at the disappearing statue without noticing anything. He thought that his previous guess was right. The "stone statue" demon, Leslet, was actually this statue.

After dealing with the illegal players and the demons, and getting what he wanted.

As a matter of course, they now began to explore this 'copy of reality'.

Li Re also wanted to see if there was any hidden danger here... But now it seems that there is probably no such danger.

A D-level mission copy is still a copy after all.

The purpose of the copy is to allow players to pass the level, not to kill all the players.

What a pity...

"It seems that after the demon is solved, the biggest insecurity factor of this library has disappeared. Whether it is daytime or dark, there is no difference." Cheng Shiyu, who was standing side by side with Li Re, also spoke up. The girl in ancient costume with black hair touched her chin, and a trace of contemplation appeared on her pretty face: "But this door..."

"This door should be the key to the other two branches."

Li Reliably analyzed: "Pushing the door in, it is either the place where the so-called "Forbidden Magic Book" is hidden, or the key to controlling this library - but I prefer the latter. After all, if it is the former, as long as the book is hidden anywhere in this library, it will be very difficult to find it."

"Of course, it is also possible that both things are inside the door."

Cheng Shiyu looked back at the vast collection of books in this "magic library" and agreed with it.

The space of this library is really huge, and the collection of books is even more huge.

It is simply impossible to find the 'A Certain Magical Book' among these billions of books!

"So, out of the three side quests, at least two are necessarily connected - after all, this door will only appear after the demon is defeated."

At this point, Cheng Shiyu suddenly smiled, and said, "In that case, let me break down this door - you can't snatch it from me this time!"

The girl with long sleeves fluttering is eager to try.

Li Re took a half step back and said, "As you wish."

He has no interest in this kind of thing.

In other words, this copy without danger is no longer very attractive to him.

not to mention...

"Anyway, I've already won." Li Re spread his hands with a look of arrogance!

Cheng Shiyu snorted twice in dissatisfaction, then drew the Chixiao Sword on her back without hesitation - with a clang, the crimson sword slashed through the door under the soft light!

The buzzing sound suddenly vibrated.

Smoke-free.

But no injuries.

Cheng Shiyu, wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, was stunned when she saw the intact door!

"Sure enough, it's not that easy."

Li Re went forward and knocked on the door again. He listened to the knocking sound and watched the green fire that his fingertips passed by disappear in an instant. Not even a trace of flame could be reflected. As expected, he said: "This door cannot be pushed open by normal means. Your sword and my fire can't really touch it. I guess that in order to open this door, you need a player with a mysterious professional class. And the things in this door are the real source of this dungeon."

In other words.

I want to completely remove the overlap between this copy and reality.
