Chapter 168: Chapter 139 "Death God’s" Name Skill!
On the arena.
The young man possessed by the "Death God" threw a corpse onto the ground.
"I have already won three matches, let’s begin."
He said expressionlessly.
A synthetic voice sounded from the computer:
"Your strength is beyond question."
"The Laws residing in this world have already surrounded you."
"The brutality and cold-bloodedness you have demonstrated have led them to decide the content of this title mission:
"Since World 5432 has stepped into destruction, many helpless souls wander in the Void."
"Collect a thousand innocent souls to complete the task."
"Collect two thousand innocent souls, and the task rating will be Class C."
"Collect three thousand souls, and the rating will be B."
"Collect five thousand souls, and the rating will be Class A."
"Collect ten thousand souls, and all Laws will revolve around you, weaving a crown of titles for you."
"—-From beginning to end, the Laws will observe your actions, will, and desires, and will bestow upon you a corresponding title."
"Begin!"
The young man mused:
"So, my will and desire can also determine the power of the title?"
"Of course," the long-haired man said, "your title will certainly match you, it is the manifestation of your own Law."
"Very well... Actually, I have already thought of a way to deal with that kid," the young man said.
He jumped off the platform and placed his hand on the computer:
"I have won many battles, and in the upcoming title mission, I want to use all the rewards to exchange for helpers."
Not far behind him.
The long-haired man and the dwarf stood up from their chairs.
"Collecting a thousand souls... For you, this is far too simple," the long-haired man said.
"It is simple, that’s what I do, but if you help, I can complete it quickly," the young man said.
"Do you need to collect more souls? To reach a B or Class A rank?" the long-haired man asked.
"There’s not much time," the young man looked at him and said seriously, "I can feel that the kid is also striving hard to achieve a title, and we need to intercept him before that!"
"So little time?" the dwarf shrieked.
"Yes, once I pass the title mission I will immediately go after him, we can’t delay anymore; otherwise, if he becomes stronger, it’ll be even harder to find him," the young man said.
"What are we waiting for then, let’s start," the long-haired man said.
"Killing that kid one day earlier will put me at ease one day sooner," the dwarf added.
A hint of brutality flickered in the young man’s eyes.
"Let the mission begin."
He declared.
...
Let’s fast forward time a bit.
Arena.
Another arena.
The computer displayed three types of weapons: a ghost-headed broadsword, a long-handle battle axe, and a longbow.
Wu Xiaode looked and felt a bit disappointed.
None of these weapons were his forte.
"Are there any other weapons?"
Wu Xiaode typed.
The computer displayed a line of text: "You need to achieve more victories to exchange for higher-level weapons."
Wu Xiaode was about to paste his number card on the computer’s sensor area.
Suddenly.
A streak of darkness flashed through his senses.
A potent, ominous shadow emerged in his heart, quickly enveloping all his senses to the point where he felt a slight suffocation.
—What’s going to happen?
Wu Xiaode’s hand froze, then quickly reacted and moved forward.
Beep!
A mechanical synthetic voice from the computer said, "You have won two consecutive matches. Winning one more will allow you to enter the title mission."
"Are you sure you want to challenge?"
"Sure!" Wu Xiaode said.
"We are proceeding with the final battle pairing, please wait," the computer said.
The next moment.
A young man appeared on the other side of the arena.
This person wore simple shirt and trousers, his expression blank until he saw Wu Xiaode, when his eyes gradually focused.
"Found you," he said.
Wu Xiaode looked around him, only to see around the young man’s Void were numerous shadows invisible to ordinary humans.
—Countless threads of flesh strung with the howling souls of agony.
It was the Death God!
Damn, the opponent was not here to change referees, but to directly put him in deadly danger!
The young man blinked and appeared in front of Wu Xiaode.
But the next moment.
The computer suddenly emitted an electronic sound:
"Matching successful!"
—Whoosh—
Wu Xiaode disappeared from his original spot and immediately appeared on the arena.
At the same time, another person appeared on the arena.
The computer’s emotionless synthetic voice rang out again:
"The arena battle has begun."
"Unnamed challengers are not allowed to interfere with the arena battles, otherwise they will be directly expelled from the Holy City!"
Wu Xiaode glanced at the "Death God" and then towards his opponent on the arena.
Good thing he had a premonition and immediately chose to fight in the arena.
—The "Death God’s" assassination attempt had failed!
So.
What would it do?
Wu Xiaode’s sense of crisis deepened in his heart.
...No.
Something was completely off.
Why did he feel even more endangered when the opponent clearly could no longer interfere with the ring battle?
He looked at his opponent.
It was a woman holding a dagger, looking very capable.
She seemed completely normal to him.
—So the danger still came from the "Death God".
But why?
Wu Xiaode stared intently at the young man below the stage, noticed the slight curl of his lips, and felt waves of surging killing intent from him.
No.
Since the computer said that non-title holders could not interfere with the ring battle—
Could it have become a title holder already?
"Kill!"
The woman yelled and suddenly appeared in front of Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode could not dodge in time—or rather, at the moment he was about to dodge, his thoughts suddenly changed.
He could no longer waste any soul power.
He could no longer prolong the battle.
He must prepare for the worst—
End the battle immediately, obtain the title task, and leave this place.
Or—
Find a way to deal with the Death God’s Name Skill!
In a flash, Wu Xiaode slightly turned his body, letting the dagger stab into his arm.
It hit!
The woman was overjoyed and about to continue her attack but suddenly found that her opponent had grabbed the dagger.
She couldn’t pull it out!
Just that moment of delay—
A bronze hand stretched out of the Void, grabbing her shoulder.
Another bronze hand, fingers like a knife, lightly touched her throat, emitting a chilling coldness.
"Concede now, and you won’t die,"
Wu Xiaode said while holding his arm.
The dagger was still in his arm, blood gushing from his fingertips, streaming profusely.
"I concede,"
The woman said crisply.
Whoosh—
She was immediately transported away.
From the beginning to the end of the fight, it had only been three seconds!
At almost the same moment.
Wu Xiaode immediately stepped back, his entire body merging into the Demon Mist, instantly activating "Fog Shadow".
A loud bang.
The spot where he had just been standing was blasted into a large pit.
The man harboring the Death God stood in the pit and said with a sneer, "You are clever, but aren’t you mistaken by your cleverness—"
"Actually, whether you win or lose, nothing can stop me from killing you."
He looked around but found nothing.
Wu Xiaode, having turned into mist, had dodged the attack and drifted to another side of the ring before reappearing.
The mist shrouded him, concealing his figure.
Originally, the Death God could not find him hiding in the Silent Demon Mist.
Now, the Silent Demon Mist had been upgraded twice, with a considerably high concealment level.
It should be safer.
However, this time, Wu Xiaode for some reason could not convince himself at all.
The suffocating sense of death haunted him and had not dissipated!
So—
Run?
He was just about to leave when the strange man’s face showed a sly smile.
"I know you’re good at hiding,"
he continued, facing the emptiness, "but you can’t hide this time—"
The man quickly recited a spell.
In an instant.
A huge pillar of darkness descended from the sky, enveloping an area of five kilometers radius around the strange man.
The Book of the Dead suddenly opened, revealing a line of ice crystal small letters:
"The opponent’s Name Skill has taken effect."
"’Death Transmission’ has been released!"
"All living beings within a ten-kilometer range will be transported to the Death Demon Cave!"
Ten kilometers?
Damn, since when could it transport such a large range!
The place of transportation is the Death Demon Cave!
Wu Xiaode’s heart sank deeply.
Having only seven points of soul power in himself, he obviously could not always turn into mist, so right after dodging, he immediately reverted to human form and hid in the Silent Demon Mist.
But the opponent had already thoroughly planned, discerning his weakness!
Its Name Skill turned out to be large-scale transportation!
This way, he had no escape.
In other words—
The Death God had given up on devouring him alone and instead sought the help of the One-eyed Giant to kill him!
The Void flashed.
The space began to change endlessly.
Wu Xiaode faintly heard the computer making sounds but couldn’t tell what it was saying.
The next instant.
Within a five-kilometer radius, everyone disappeared completely.
