With the aura boosts from the three halls, Qin Guang King, Chu Jiang King, and Song Emperor King, the Level 58 Tier 4 BOSS Blood Emperor · Bell was extremely difficult to deal with.
So before entering the Yama Hall, Lin Mo and Ning Xi had already made preparations in advance.
They used the A-grade magic scroll Dark Devour. By farming the mobs outside, they stacked Dark Devour's passive effect to 100 layers, gaining a 12-hour buff: Damage Increase +100%, Damage Reduction +100%, Skill Range +100%.
Only like this could they ensure that all of their damage would fully cover the Blood Emperor's more than 20,000 healing per hit.
As for the A-grade Dark Devour, although it was precious, Ning Xi had ten of them in her bag.
They used two last time, used another two this time, and still had six left.
They couldn't run out even if they tried, so they went all out.
As Lin Mo and Ning Xi unleashed their full firepower, combined with their previous experience fighting the Blood Emperor boss, it took less than ten minutes to bring Blood Emperor Bell's HP down to 10.3%.
Lin Mo and Ning Xi immediately stopped.
Because once the boss's HP dropped below 10%, it would trigger the skill [Blood Frenzy], which, combined with the Song Emperor Hall's 100% healing aura, would instantly raise the boss's HP back up to 30%.
At this moment, Lin Mo shouted to Ling Xiao, who had long been ready nearby, "Blow it up."
Raise Xiao for a thousand days, use Xiao in one moment.
"Got it!"
Without another word, Ling Xiao rushed toward the Blood Emperor with a stance as if he was ready to die.
The moment he entered within 50 yards of effective range,
Ling Xiao immediately activated his A-grade talent—
Mutual Destruction!
Boom!
Boom!
A burst of blood light erupted simultaneously from both Ling Xiao and the Blood Emperor.
The next second, a white true damage number popped up above both their heads.
-309850!
-309850!
The Blood Emperor's remaining 10%+, roughly around 260,000 HP, was wiped out in a single hit.
There was no chance to trigger [Blood Frenzy].
The BOSS was successfully killed.
"In this emperor's domain, how could you mortals possibly… defeat this emperor…"
With endless unwillingness, the Blood Emperor's massive body crashed to its knees.
In an instant, it lost all signs of life.
At the same time, as Ling Xiao turned into a beam of white light and disappeared from the field, a pleasant battle notification rang in the ears of the remaining four.
[Ding~ Congratulations on participating in the kill of Level 58 Tier 4 BOSS Blood Emperor · Bell. Rewards: EXP +24,000,000 (based on contribution, you receive 80% EXP), Reputation +250!]
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With the boss's massive experience reward, even though Xia Wanwan and Qin Feng only received the minimum 30% participation EXP, they still leveled up.
As for Lin Mo and Ning Xi, their levels were too high and the requirements too large, so they didn't level up.
But the surge in their EXP bars, jumping up by more than half, was still an incredible feeling.
At this moment—
Ding!
Ling Xiao sent a message, ["Boss, did it work?"]
The cost of using Mutual Destruction was that the talent user would also die.
It was clearly a victory.
Everyone's levels and experience had gone up.
Only Ling Xiao, who contributed the most, had his level drop from 52 back to 51.
Lin Mo felt a bit uncomfortable as he replied, ["It worked."]
But Ling Xiao brushed off his own loss and said happily, ["That's good!"]
["As long as I could help you, boss."]
At this moment, Lin Mo's desire to evolve into [Divine Descent · Seraph] reached its peak.
As long as he had the Seraph's resurrection skill, he could prevent Ling Xiao from suffering heavy self-damage every time he used his nuclear burst.
To avoid not having enough reputation later when amplifying the third hall's first-clear reward, the SS-grade magic scroll Incubated Clone, with tenfold enhancement, Ning Xi didn't waste reputation on amplifying the rewards from the Blood Emperor.
After all, it was only a Tier 4 boss.
If they delayed something important for such minor gains, it wouldn't be worth it.
Right then, the system notification sounded again, separately in Lin Mo and Ning Xi's ears.
[Ding~ Congratulations to you and player Liuli for jointly killing BOSS Blood Emperor Bell and clearing the third hall of the Yama Hall, the Hall of Song Emperor. Congratulations on obtaining the unique first-clear reward of the third hall: SS-grade magic scroll Incubated Clone +1 (please discuss or roll to determine which player receives the reward)!]
'It's here.'
Lin Mo felt a surge of joy.
Logically, since Ling Xiao dealt the killing blow, he should have been the first recipient of this unique reward.
However, since he had not completed the first and second halls, simply killing the third hall boss was not enough to obtain the first-clear reward.
So the reward automatically passed on to Lin Mo and Ning Xi.
They had prepared over 500,000 reputation points just for this moment.
So after Lin Mo voluntarily gave up the reward, Ning Xi immediately activated her SSS-grade talent Supreme Sovereign while claiming it.
[Ding~ SSS-grade talent Supreme Sovereign reward amplification triggered. Consumed 312,583 reputation points. Congratulations, your reward has been amplified tenfold: SS-grade magic scroll Incubated Clone +10!]
Fortunately, they had enough reputation.
Amplifying just one SS-grade magic scroll wasn't as outrageous as expected.
It seemed that although SS-grade magic scrolls were incredibly valuable, they weren't completely unattainable.
Looking at Ning Xi's bag after she opened it, seeing the ten SS-grade magic scrolls Incubated Clone stored inside, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
After coming to the secondary main city Inferno City for so many days, everything Lin Mo had done was for this magic scroll.
Now, he had finally obtained it as he wished.
Ning Xi handed all the scrolls to Lin Mo. Lin Mo casually took one out to check.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Incubated Clone] (SS-grade magic scroll)
— Effect: After use, the player can create a clone (the clone will 100% inherit your talent, class, level, equipment, attributes, skills, and appearance / all of the above can also be customized)
— Note 1: The clone exists for 72 hours
— Note 2: The owner can share the clone's vision
— Note 3: The owner can mentally control all actions of the clone, and within the same main city region, the control range is unlimited.
— Note 4: A player can have at most one clone at the same time
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Seeing the effects of this magic scroll, Lin Mo was shocked.
In theory, even an SSS-grade talent could be inherited?
"As expected of an SS-grade magic scroll," Lin Mo couldn't help but exclaim.
Of course, setting aside the scroll's own value, in practice, for the strong, this was like adding wings to a tiger, doubling their power.
For the weak, it would just mean the world of Divine Oracle gained another useless piece of trash.
Without hesitation, Lin Mo immediately used the scroll to create a clone.
[Ding~ You have used the SS-grade magic scroll Incubated Clone. Please configure your clone!]
If talents were customized, it would be like when a player first entered Divine Oracle, randomly drawing one from E to SSS grade.
With Lin Mo's terrible luck, it would most likely end up being an E-grade or D-grade talent.
So—
[Ding~ The clone has inherited the owner Rulebound's SSS-grade talent Soul Flame!]
Next, class configuration.
The clone's persona had to be clear, and it had to be distinct from Lin Mo himself.
Otherwise, if another top expert with a similar style suddenly appeared in Inferno City, it would easily be linked back to Lin Mo.
The core persona Lin Mo intended for the clone was decisive in killing, cold on the outside, but passionate inside.
[Ding~ Custom class set: Assassin!]
[Ding~ Level customized: Level 50, Third Advancement (initial customized level cannot exceed the owner's level)]
It wasn't that Lin Mo didn't want the clone to be stronger.
But right now, aside from Lin Mo and Ning Xi at Level 55, most top players in Inferno City were only around Level 52.
If another Level 55 suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it would definitely raise suspicion.
Setting it to Level 50 was the least suspicious option.
Others would just think it was a top expert who had just arrived from a third-tier main city.
Next—
[Ding~ Equipment customization!]
[Ding~ Skill customization!]
An Assassin couldn't inherit a Soul Archer's equipment and skills anyway.
And with the SSS-grade talent Soul Flame, the clone could evolve a full set of gold equipment and SSS-grade skills on its own at any time.
Finally, the appearance customization stage.
"Wait!"
"You can even adjust height, weight? And customize the face? What's this 'Angelina'? Isn't that that person?"
Lin Mo was taken aback.
He suddenly understood why, in his previous life, the top-ranked player who got the Incubated Clone scroll recreated his girlfriend.
After all, they were in the same city, so Lin Mo had heard about it.
It was said that guy's girlfriend had an angelic face and a devilish figure.
What kind of devilish figure?
The kind that could punch a Piggy Pig to death with one fist.
So that guy kept his girlfriend's face but adjusted her body into his ideal petite wife, fulfilling his biggest fantasy.
Lin Mo couldn't help but comment from the bottom of his heart, "Understandable."
"That's some wild taste."
Lin Mo himself was 1.8 meters tall and weighed 65 kg, neither fat nor thin.
He couldn't accept a clone more perfect than himself.
[Ding~ Customized clone appearance: Height 178 cm, Weight 55 kg!]
[Ding~ Customized ID, Mo!]
[Ding~ Clone creation complete!]
