Chapter 1086
Chen Zilong VS Rost
But in that one strike, nearly half of Saito's true energy was removed.
If viewed this way, then the effect is truly terrifying.
This can be described as a classic case of becoming stronger when facing weaker opponents, which may be one of the reasons why Rost exchanged for the Sword in the Stone.
However, this person forgot that there is another saying after "when the weak are strong," which is "when the strong are weak."
In the blink of an eye.
After understanding what was going on, Chen Zilong took a step forward.
Rost felt a flash in front of him, and the enemy who was in mid-air was right in front of him.
It was only then that Rost realized that this veteran of the Central Continent Team must have a skill similar to teleportation, and it was extremely convenient to activate.
However, this time, seeing Chen Zilong so close, Rost did not activate the bronze bell.
Instead, he shouted loudly, and to Chen Zilong's astonishment, several figures separated.
The clones moved so fast that even Chen Zilong couldn't see what was happening.
They were then surrounded from the opposite direction.
And all of these Rost used the same gesture: wielding the invisible two-handed greatsword in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Chen Zilong's right hand gripped the stick and jerked.
The two golden hoops flew out and wrapped around the two closest figures on the left and right.
Then a purple light burst forth from the crown atop Chen Zilong's head.
As the purple light flickered
Dozens of figures froze in unison.
Although it was only for a moment, it was enough.
Bang bang bang bang!
Several sounds rang out, and all the figures were sent flying backward.
The sensation and sound in his hand surprised Chen Zilong. A physical object? It was all real?
But the bronze bell was not triggered?
Sensing something was wrong, Chen Zilong took a step forward, and his figure disappeared again.
He flashed dozens of meters away and frowned as he looked at the dozen or so identical figures rolling up from the ground not far away.
This scene was truly bizarre.
Chen Zilong had seen the clone before, and he himself could even do it.
However, it is absolutely impossible to distinguish dozens of identical figures without the slightest flaw.
However, Chen Zilong soon realized something.
That's the perfect match between such an ability and an invisible sword in the stone.
Humans can split themselves into two, but weapons certainly can't.
But now, it's unclear who actually possesses the real sword in the stone.
After figuring this out, Chen Zilong stared intently at the dozen or so Roses, noticing the slight differences in them.
But soon, Chen Zilong, who already possessed divine sense, discovered that these dozen or so Rosets were exactly the same in terms of expression, posture, weight, shadow, way of moving, and even the way they spoke.
It seems that it knows its clone will not be seen through by others.
Instead of attacking, Rost stood there with a mocking expression and said:
"I thought the people who came would be some formidable ones, but it turns out there was only one of you!"
In that case, I'll play along.
As they spoke, the figures of more than a dozen Rost suddenly merged into one.
The person standing still had a blank look in their eyes, accompanied by the sound of shackles being released.
Rost's size began to increase again on top of the enhanced suit, clearly indicating that the second stage of his genetic lock had been unlocked.
Chen Zilong was not surprised to see this scene; in fact, he was a little disappointed.
After all, shouldn't a team captain start with a second-tier gene lock?
He thought this person had at least solved the third level, but he overestimated him.
With that thought in mind, Chen Zilong stomped his foot on the ground and shot out like an arrow.
Rost only saw the other party's speed increase and then disappear again, turning to another direction, and then disappearing again before he could see clearly.
Seeing the other party's erratic and unpredictable movements, Rost also composed himself.
With the GANTZ suit and the added benefit of the gene lock, Rost's physical speed is not slow.
After all, he had invested a lot in himself to improve his physical attributes, which could be obtained by using reward points.
Knowing he couldn't just sit and wait to die, a sudden gust of wind enveloped Rost's body.
But speed is speed, and even the fastest speed can't compare to instantaneous teleportation.
next moment.
Two figures, originally a hundred meters apart, suddenly approached each other in mid-air.
Although Rost's combat awareness is not as good as Chen Zilong's, he has the advantage of having skills to assist him.
Just as a whooshing air explosion rang out from Chen Zilong's long staff, Rost once again split into dozens of figures, appearing in all directions from the center of his position.
Chen Zilong only had time to slash horizontally at the two closest ones.
Just when Chen Zilong thought it would be the same as before.
With a soft thud, the two figures were hit and disappeared.
At the same time, the phantom image formed by the chainmail armor once again condensed on the body's surface.
Chen Zilong felt a slight pain in his back.
It's safe to say that as a double A-grade item, even without breaking through defenses, it still brought a feeling of pain as if it had been hit.
Rost intended to swing his arms again while Chen Zilong turned around, but he was wrong.
Chen Zilong had no intention of turning around, and once again took a step forward using the same trick.
The golden chainmail armor beneath the sword in the stone disappeared once again.
In that instant.
His subconscious instincts made Rost curl up abruptly.
It was at this moment that the protective bronze bell appeared out of thin air.
Chen Zilong appeared behind Rost in an instant.
After all, the "shrinking the earth to an inch" technique doesn't mean you can only move forward.
A metallic clang rang out.
Chen Zilong, relying on his superior strength and the advantage of being above, gained a slight edge and knocked the man away.
Having landed a successful blow, Chen Zilong steadied himself in mid-air and exhaled.
Getting hit squarely by a weapon from a double A-rank side quest isn't exactly a pleasant experience.
Chen Zilong and Zhu Wen quickly spoke in his mind:
"It seems that the true energy in my body has decreased by more than 10%!"
Zhu Wen said, "I just saw it. For a moment, an outline seemed to appear. I guess the Stone Sword's ability is to absorb energy or annihilate a portion of the energy of the person it hits."
Be careful!
Chen Zilong replied, "Understood, after all, this is the captain of the Senzhou team!"
In that short time, Rost had already stood up and was once again swept away by the blue gale, rushing towards Chen Zilong.
Moreover, this one is even faster than before, which suggests it's some kind of buff-type support item or skill.
Upon realizing this, Chen Zilong could only say that it was truly inhuman, as someone would give himself a buff without warning.
When Rost came to Chen Zilong again, Rost raised his hand and waved.
Dozens of identical figures appeared around Chen Zilong.
Then they shouted at the same time: "Mirror image!"
The next moment, all the Rosts raised their hands high.
It was as if each of them held a sword in the stone, and then they swung it down fiercely.
Chen Zilong, who already had a plan, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis at that moment.
However, this time he didn't have time to react at all.
He was completely trapped in this airspace, unable to move at all.
However, although people cannot move, props can.
The golden chainmail and the breastplate shot out simultaneously, forming an inner and outer double-layered elliptical light curtain that enveloped Chen Zilong.
The iron staff in his hand left afterimages as it flew away.
They just like that, defeating five Rosts on one side.
But even so, more than half of them still exist.
The surviving Rosts, their faces contorted with rage, shouted, "Mirror Image, Dimensional Slash!"
Within the double-layered light curtain, the successfully activated magic weapon did not bring Chen Zilong the slightest sense of security.
Even at that moment, his premonition of crisis had reached its peak!
It was as if he was about to die at any moment.
With Zhu Wen's prompting, Chen Zilong quickly discovered the source of the danger. He saw the space within a ten-meter radius around him begin to twist and shatter like glass.
It's like a mirror being shattered by a punch.
The world reflected in the mirror seemed to shatter as well.
The problem is that these cracks in the air are present inside the light shield.
In other words, Rost's attack ignored all defenses!
They truly live up to their reputation as a team of breeders.
Even if Chen Zilong had entered the ruins and obtained a full set of divine equipment, it could only be said that they were evenly matched in terms of equipment.
In some respects, the captain of the Mori team is even richer.
The cracks are becoming more and more numerous and larger.
As is well known, the cracks on a broken mirror are continuous and evenly distributed.
There won't be any random movement here and there.
So when the most recent crack extended to Chen Zilong's right hand, which was holding the Sui Xin Iron Rod.
Such cracks are actually about to cover half of the body.
The first thing I touched was the back of Chen Zilong's hand, which cleanly and decisively created a gap along the crack.
Beneath the clear cross-section, the white bones, blood, and muscles are clearly visible.
Even the Ironclad Soldier of the Free Will was cut off at an angle.
This scene triggered a frantic warning from Chen Zilong's intuition.
This caused his pupils to contract repeatedly.
Rost finally managed a smile as he looked at Chen Zilong, who was now enveloped in countless cracks.
In his view, no one could escape this move.
However, in the very next moment, just after Rost had made up his mind...
A phantom deer, unlike anything in this world, leaped out from Chen Zilong's body.
At that moment, a white light suddenly rose up.
It was as if two things that should never meet had come together.
One is the Dimensional Slash, which ignores defense.
One is an innate skill that can withstand any attack.
It's like the strongest spear and the strongest shield.
Only God knows who is truly superior.
The white light disappeared.
The very next second after Rost saw it clearly, a gigantic staff with a terrifying diameter descended from the sky.
"when!!!"
A terrifying sound suddenly rang out.
The sound jolted Rost backward, and he was instantly enveloped and sent flying.
In mid-air, his expression looked as if he hadn't reacted at all.
Yes, because the captain of the Mori team was distracted at such a critical moment.
First, my own skills suddenly stopped working.
Secondly, the powerful strike that followed the end of the white light was truly terrifying.
It even managed to deform the bronze bell, which was originally made of energy.
A terrifying dent has appeared on the top of the clock.
And this is precisely the sign that the protective magic artifact is about to shatter.
Looking at Rost in the crater in the ground, Chen Zilong exhaled and quietly landed.
The wounds on his body that had been cut open by the cracks had healed thanks to the Philosopher's Stone.
He was now certain that if Zhu Wen hadn't acted decisively just now...
If this dimensional slash lands squarely on him, given his physical strength, he would undoubtedly die.
Not only him, but even Li Xiao's indestructible body couldn't withstand it, because this attack wasn't on the physical level.
Rather, it is a wide-range attack capability with spatial attributes.
It's safe to say that it lives up to its reputation as a double-A level offensive weapon.
It's simply impossible to defend against.
To resist, one would need to possess regenerative abilities like those of the Golden Mask.
Even if it is broken into pieces, it can recover again.
Chen Zilong still remembered that when Li Xiao slashed with his sword, before he could even retract it, the cut on his opponent's body had already begun to heal.
If he had such a body, he might have been able to survive this so-called dimensional slash.
However, if this kind of slashing is even finer, or even broken down into molecular sizes...
Then let alone a golden mask, any body made of flesh and blood couldn't withstand it.
This moment.
Chen Zilong wasn't the only one with a solemn expression.
Rost, who had just gotten up and come to his senses, was in the same boat.
He awkwardly wiped the blood off his face.
It's clear that even with the GANTZ enhanced suit, Rost's body still suffered some kind of internal injury from the constant shocks.
The blood flowing from her nose and mouth is the best proof.
However, to Chen Zilong's surprise, this person not only did not run away, but also started cursing at them.
"How dare you look at me like that... I'll kill you all!... I'll definitely kill you all!"
Chen Zilong swore to Zhu Wen and the others beside him that there was nothing strange about their eyes.
I'm just amazed by how powerful their skill is.
There were no negative emotions such as contempt or disdain.
But it's too late to say anything now.
At this moment, he stood up, seemingly going mad, and dozens of figures scattered out, then shouted loudly again:
"Mirror image!"
The binding force, extending from all directions and covering a wider area, reappeared.
Chen Zilong raised his hand, and the pose of him and Zhu Wen drawing Clow Cards was frozen in place.
Dozens of people are photographed together.
This time, Rost actually came to the closest position to Chen Zilong and his group.
It is obvious that the opponent was able to use this clone-like ability to teleport himself out of thin air.
Closer to home.
The only one, Rost, clasped his hands to his chest and roared.
"The Sword of Victory and Oath! EXCALIBUR!"
A special silvery-white glow began to emanate from the point where the hands touched.
Immediately afterwards, the intense light outlined a clear silhouette of the invisible sword in his hand.
Once all the lines were drawn, a two-handed greatsword in the style of ancient Europe appeared in his hand.
The sword is gorgeous and dazzling, and the hilt is inlaid with gold and gemstones.
This was also the first time Chen Zilong and Zhu Wen had faced the sword in the stone at close range.
But we shouldn't wait to see more.
Rost gripped the heavy sword and slashed fiercely at them.
Suddenly, a silver beam of light, like a laser, swept across the area.
This time.
The two golden hoops on the Sui Xin Iron Rod kept vibrating, having learned from the previous experience.
As the cracks reappeared, a burst of silver laser light erupted.
A large, dark golden hand emerged from the iron-handed soldier.
At the critical moment, they grabbed the two and left the confined space.
Chen Zilong could see it clearly from mid-air.
The uneven hillside where they had just stood had been scorched by the silver light into a reflective mirror.
Although I don't know the principle behind this ability, I probably can't withstand it with my newly acquired Great Celestial Immortal Technique.
Of course, perhaps his golden chainmail could work, but Chen Zilong didn't want to try.
Although Rost's attack was once again dodged by Chen Zilong. (End of Chapter)
