Chapter 567: Slaughter of the Guardians
Chapter 567: Slaughter of the Guardians
The army was defeated like a mountain!
As Lu Li displayed more and more power, the explorers of the ancient space were defeated.
More than twenty explorers were killed in order to activate the sacrificial chain, and there were not many of them left. They suffered heavy casualties under Lu Li's attack, and only four or five were left in a short while.
What made Ape Fire feel outrageous was that he found that he couldn't even take down Lu Li's shadow clone.
Theoretically, the Shadow Clone's comprehensive attributes are two points lower than Lu Li's, and Gorilla Fire feels that he has a huge attribute advantage. How could he not be able to defeat a Shadow Clone with a low level of intelligence?
The reality is cruel. He found something wrong after fighting with Lu Li's shadow clone, because Lu Li's shadow clone also has considerable real damage. Although the gap is far from that of Lu Li's original body, it can still cause him considerable trouble.
After all, it is impossible for a shadow clone to copy all abilities. For example, the ability of the Fairy Seed cannot be inherited by the shadow clone. Therefore, the shadow clone that Lu Li splits out does not have a high soul source limit, so the damage of the Soul Eater will not be very high.
In addition, the shadow clone cannot use the active skills of the equipment, which can essentially trigger the Soul Eater. The mechanism determines that the shadow clone is a damaging skill and an extension of the Soul Eater's ability. Therefore, it can trigger the 12% soul source limit true damage in the Soul Eater's passive.
It may not seem high, but it can withstand the shadow clone's high-frequency lightning. As long as the opponent is injured, no matter how small the damage is, it can trigger the Soul Eater's passive, and the accumulation will be considerable.
Even Gorilla Fire didn't dare to withstand the attack of the Shadow Clone. He judged that if he continued to fight with the Shadow Clone, he would be electrocuted to death in less than three minutes. Even if he was trying his best to recover, the recovery skills had a cooldown.
Not to mention recovery skills, he had even used up all the recovery items. Normally, he didn't have the habit of hoarding recovery items. After all, most of the time the battles were going his way. In fact, no matter how many recovery items you have, it will be useless if you can't beat your opponent.
This is the current situation. The Ape Fire tried its best but was unable to defeat Lu Li's shadow clone, which made him doubt his ape nature for a moment.
But he had to fight and didn't dare to die.
Although you can be resurrected in the 'game world' after dying, the 24-hour resurrection cooldown is longer than a lifetime.
Lu Li will definitely clear out the tomb. It would be fine if Lu Li wins, but there is also a relatively small possibility that a situation that the ancient space explorers are most worried about will occur.
Therefore, the Gorilla Fire must ensure its own survival, otherwise there will be no room for maneuver, and everyone in the ancient space will die!
On the other side, Lu Li's real body was fiercely attacking the world boss transformed by the Bone King. He used the Demon Prisoner in his hand to slash continuously, and with the sword's intent, he actually cut off the arm of the Bone King who had a domineering body.
“Lord Ainz!”
Mare and Aura exclaimed when they saw this scene, and wanted to come to the rescue, but were repelled by Bone King's gaze.
Even the guardian did not know the true function of the 'Flying Squirrel Jade'. An excellent actor must be able to deceive even his own people when acting. He had to ensure that he was killed by Lu Li in close combat.
In this way, he could activate the function of the jade when he died and forcibly take Lu Li away.
He believed that as long as Lu Li died, the other people in the Council Kingdom would cooperate with his guardians and would be able to defeat the Church Kingdom. By then, all of Lu Li's confidants would be killed, and Lu Li would not be able to be resurrected.
As for what would happen to the guardians who were reincarnated by Lu Li's evil magic after his death, he could no longer care about that. If he didn't kill Lu Li now, the Great Tomb of Nazarick would definitely be wiped out.
Lubedo and Pandora saw how hard Bone King was holding on, and because they couldn't see Bone King's eyes from their directions, they just attacked him directly.
Pandora finished chanting again and released a great disaster on Lu Li, while Lubeddo punched Lu Li hard.
This was also the first time that Lu Li saw the legendary strongest single NPC in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. In the novels he had read in the space, he had only heard Bone King mention him once.
The real Lubeddo looks like a female, but she is neither a succubus nor a Nigrid. She is an NPC created by combining the Jade Record with world-class props in a nearly bug-proof way, and her panel stats are extremely strong.
In terms of comprehensive attributes alone, Lubeddo can reach 137 points, and has no obvious shortcomings, and the attack multipliers of various skills are also very high.
That's why Bone King said that Lubedo's panel strength is above Takimi's. And because Lubedo's birth was somewhat illegal, he is not as stable as other NPCs. In Bone King's view, he is not 100% loyal to him.
Therefore, Lubeddo was kept on the eighth floor with a special environment all year round, and Oleier and "those" on the eighth floor were used to restrain and monitor Lubeddo, so as to prevent him from causing devastating disasters to the great tomb.
But now it seems that Bone King's worries were unnecessary. Lubeddo was very loyal in this battle and fought very hard. He was the only one who could restrain Lu Li in close combat.
Of course, this was only the case when Lu Li had previously fought with everyone using the boiling frog tactic. At this moment, his sword was aimed at the Bone King's vitals, so naturally, it was impossible for him to hold back on the guardian NPC under the Bone King.
So he stepped sideways, and while the Demon Prisoner forced back the Bone King's attack, he clenched his left fist and punched towards Lubedo. The fists of both parties collided, and it was like a small nuclear bomb exploding in the field.
When Lu Li threw a punch, he carried the intent of the fist with him, using his relatively weak body to carry the momentum. Relying on his advanced boxing skills, he was able to fight on equal terms with Lubeddo.
On the surface, neither side was knocked back, but instead they continued to attack each other. When Lubeddo threw the second punch, Lu Li changed his fist into a claw, grabbed Lubeddo's wrist with his backhand, and then slashed down with a knife.
"Lubedoo!"
O'Leary, the person in charge of the Sakura Sanctuary, exclaimed when she saw this scene. She wanted to support and recover for Lubeddo, but then she remembered Bone King's instructions and could only grit her teeth and continue to retreat.
In a flash, when Lu Li punched Lubedo and cut off one of Lubedo's arms with the Demon Prisoner, Pandora's second catastrophe arrived.
Lu Li didn't seem to have any intention of dodging. He endured the damage from the catastrophe and attacked while Lubedo was injured. The second sweep of his sword cut Lubedo in half.
The Soul Eater's passive ability triggered the inlay effect at this moment, causing double damage after a critical hit, directly clearing the health bar of Lubedo, a numerical monster.
Even though Lubeddo's comprehensive attributes were much higher than his, her combat skills were slightly weaker. In the continuous battles, Lu Li had the Fairy Spirit Seed to restore mana and the Origin Spirit Seed's internal recovery path to restore health, but the opponent did not have these conditions.
Therefore, after a series of battles, Lubedo's health was actually very unhealthy, but when he saw Ainz in danger, he instinctively came to rescue him.
After Lubedo was killed by Lu Li, the Bone King camp obviously no longer had any effective means to restrain Lu Li in close combat. Lu Li rushed forward like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
Under the anxious gaze of the Bone King, Lu Li attacked him fiercely for a while, then suddenly changed his target. In an instant, he came to the side of Aura and her brother at extremely fast speed.
"Hey, you two, how are you doing?"
Lu Li grinned, revealing a row of sharp white teeth, as if he was greeting old friends. Last time, he let the two guardians go, but his mercy did not always come.
It was clear that Lu Li did not release the domineering color and the aura of fear, but they could not help but feel terrified. It had nothing to do with temperament and image, but just pure, hopeless difference in combat power, which finally made them realize their own insignificance.
It turns out that they have never been the ones who can spread terror. In front of the human hunters who are doomed, they are just prey that can only flee wailing.
The next moment, Lu Li grasped the knife with both hands and slashed it down with the force of splitting the world. The knife intent was like a divine judgment descending from the sky, sharp and heavy.
In Aura's eyes, Lu Li's figure seemed to be magnified countless times, like a giant standing tall, and the knife in his hand was a sharp blade that seemed to split the entire world when it fell.
boom--
Under the gaze of Bone King and others, the ground cracked into a crack tens of kilometers long, like a newly formed canyon in nature, and Aura was cut in half by Lu Li's sword.
This sword was unparalleled in dominance in the overall situation, but extremely sharp in the details. It slashed through Aura at an extremely fast speed, so that her body had not yet fallen due to the strong wind. In the moment she stayed in the air, Lu Li's sword was light and graceful, and it turned around and pierced Aura's throat.
At this point, the guardian, whose health was not outstanding to begin with, was killed by Lu Li.
What made the people present even more desperate was that after Lu Li killed Aura, another shadow clone appeared from his body. This was his third shadow clone.
Just like the previous two, they were all unaffected by the banned active skills. They were extremely powerful. They grabbed Aura's body and ran towards Demiurge.
Demiurge was very cooperative and directly summoned a high-level demon as a sacrifice for Aura's reincarnation.
"Father...do we need to retreat?"
In the tense battlefield, Pandora even called out his father's name. He was not afraid. His military-like setting made him loyal and brave on the battlefield, but he could not see any hope of winning.
Right now, the strong men of the Commentary Country were either dead or injured, and there were only four or five people who could fight, and they were all suppressed by Lu Li's shadow clone.
Lu Li alone destroyed the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and even their strongest individual warrior, Lubeddo, was killed. Guardians were killed and wounded one after another and were taken away by Lu Li. If they continued to fight like this, they would soon be wiped out.
"Retreat, where can we retreat to?"
Bone King's voice was low. He had made up his mind to die, wanting to exchange his death for the peace of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
But what made him feel a little aggrieved was that after Lu Li chopped him half to pieces, he stopped chopping him and instead chased after his guardian to kill him.
This made him feel helpless and terrified, because he could not stop the uncontrollable and highly maneuverable Lu Li.
Even if the opponent cannot use fancy abilities like Thunder, Lu Li's swordsmanship is enough to pose a fatal threat to them. Combined with the mysterious oriental power that they cannot understand, the sword intent can cause single-target bursts or group damage.
Lu Li had already approached Mare in a flash, raised his hand and chopped Mare's summoned creature to death, then pierced Mare's heart with a knife, pinning the dark elf to the trunk of the fallen tree.
Before Bone King and Pandora came to support, Lu Li spun the Demon Prisoner in his hand, messing up Mare's body and bringing the Soul Eater's passive ability to its limit.
“Mare…”
Bone King's voice was low, revealing a powerless sadness. Although he had now become the world boss, his mobility was still not high. His other stats had only increased, so he had no time to support Mare.
Lu Li had a kind smile on his face, because he was accidentally splashed with a few drops of blood when he killed Mare just now. The blood was still flowing slowly on his face, drawing strange lines, which made his smile reverse from a kind style and become more ferocious.
He raised his arm and wiped the blood off his face, then kicked Mare's body towards his shadow clone as he swung his sword and blood vibrated, "Take it, let's have a happy ending for the Guardians."
"Martial God!!!"
Bone King's voice was filled with rage, "Come at me if you dare!"
Obviously, he had lost his composure a little and even had to provoke Lu Li with words.
The main reason was that he felt that if he continued like this, all his guardians would be killed. In other words, except for Pandora, all his guardians had been killed.
Oleil is a level 100 NPC of the Pleiades, and is not a guardian.
The battle had reached this point, and Bone King felt that even if he could exchange one for one with Lu Li, he had already failed.
Because if the evil magic that controls people is not lifted after Lu Li's death, the guardian army under Lu Li will be able to pose a fatal threat to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
But he couldn't care less now. He couldn't bear to watch his child-like guardians die one after another and be captured by Lu Li.
Even if he had to risk self-destruction, he would drag Lu Li down with him.
Thinking of this, the Bone King took heavy steps, stomping on the ground with a roar, and rushed towards the direction where Lu Li was.
"Stupid, it's too obvious."
Seeing this, Orangutan Fire couldn't help but curse, thinking that Bone King was really a sly person. According to his current fighting style, it was only a matter of time before Lu Li killed him. Now, no matter how dumb Lu Li was, he would have noticed that something was fishy.
But he also realized that he could not control the current situation, and that Bone King's position was different from theirs.
The explorers of the ancient space felt that as long as Lu Li died, they would win. However, what the Bone King cared about was not the battle for the world, but his guardian who was as close as family to him.
Seeing Lu Li slaughtering a large number of his companions, even a calm man like Bone King would go crazy and want to die with Lu Li.
Lu Li looked at the Bone King running towards him and frowned slightly. He also felt something was wrong because he could not read any desire to survive in the Bone King's eyes. Those were not the eyes of someone who wanted to defeat him and gain the right to survive, but the eyes of someone who wanted to die.
