One of the biggest advantages of the game "Divine Oracle" is this: No matter what kind of physical disability a person has in the real world, once they enter Divine Oracle, their body is restored by data into a complete form.
The Tyrant raised his left hand, looking at the little finger that had been restored by the system's data.
At this moment, the "boss's" command echoed in his mind like a death curse.
It was as if that voice was constantly reminding him: Rulebound must be dealt with.
Clenching his teeth, unwilling to give up, the Tyrant looked at the one person before him who could help him deal with Rulebound, the Shadow Sword God, Black Night.
If soft tactics don't work, then hard ones will.
The Tyrant's face twisted viciously, his eyes bulging like a monster that could swallow two children whole, "Don't mistake kindness for weakness."
"You're already a purple-name. Your crime value must be over three thousand by now."
"Have you thought about what kind of punishment you'll face if you die in this state? Not only will all your equipment drop, all the resources in your bag will be lost, your level will also drop by more than thirty levels."
Staring at Lu Ye, the Tyrant snarled, "Anyone who helps you has their own motives. Once you're crippled, what value do you think you'll still have in that person's eyes? I advise you to think carefully and leave yourself a way out."
"If you refuse to lend me a hand, then tonight, I'll make sure you die without a burial. And your daughter will pay for your foolish decision today by being buried with you."
No matter how much the Tyrant threatened him before, Lu Ye remained unmoved.
Only when he mentioned the word "daughter" did it immediately cross Lu Ye's bottom line.
Beneath the sealed metal helmet, a cold glint flashed in his eyes as, in the instant Lu Ye gripped the Shadow Greatsword in his right hand and stood up—
BUZZ!
A powerful surge of shadow energy burst from his body, forcing the Storm players in front of him to involuntarily take a step back.
Divine Oracle's realism was nearly 100%, so much so that players within it could hardly distinguish between the game and reality. As such, the fear felt by the Storm players at this moment came straight from their hearts.
Clang!
Lu Ye pointed his sword at the Storm Guild.
His tone was icy, "I'll say it one more time."
"Except for him, I won't serve anyone else."
The Tyrant instantly flew into a rage, "Damn it! Why you always have to be this stubborn?"
In his fury, the Tyrant gave the order, "Kill him!"
As soon as the command was issued, one of his underlings asked in disbelief, "Boss, really kill him?"
"Weren't we planning to use him to deal with Rulebound? If we cripple him, who's going to help us kill Rulebound?"
The Tyrant sneered viciously, "Without him, Inferno City is full of experts! I can find someone even stronger at any time to kill Rulebound!"
"Black Night! Since you refuse to stand with me, then go die."
"Kill!"
With the Tyrant's order given again, behind him, the Storm Guild players raised their weapons and, amidst a thunderous wave of battle cries, charged toward Lu Ye.
Such a formation and spectacle, anyone unaware might think they were besieging an unprecedented super boss.
BOOM!
With a deafening clap of thunder that shook the heavens, dark clouds covered the moon.
Suddenly, torrential rain poured from the sky.
Splash! Splash!
Cold raindrops fell onto the sharp blades, and with a flash of lightning, they reflected the sharp gleam in Lu Ye's eyes.
Gripping the Shadow Greatsword, Lu Ye charged into the crowd through the downpour.
———
At the same time, outside the island, by the shore—
The sudden heavy rain made the already unclear vision even more blurred.
The thousand players of the Divine Nation standing by the shore could only see from afar, across the sea, bursts of dazzling white light flashing continuously from within the island shrouded in darkness ahead. Mixed with piercing screams that echoed into the sky.
Even those watching from the outside couldn't help but feel a chill run down their backs, their nerves tightening without reason.
He Xiao asked in disbelief, "Is it really true that, aside from the Storm people, there's only Black Night alone on that island?"
Zhao Jun's gaze burned as he said, "Yes. According to my men, before we arrived, apart from Storm, they only saw Black Night board the island alone. No one else."
Lin Miaomiao exclaimed, "One person holding back Storm's army of thousands, and he's still killing like this?"
"Is this hidden class really that strong?"
As she spoke, even Lin Miaomiao began to feel a trace of concern. She said to Ling Xue, "Sister Ling, should we go to the island to support him? Black Night's strength is beyond doubt. If he really gets crippled by Storm, it would be a huge loss for our Divine Nation."
Ling Xue glanced unhurriedly at Lin Mo and said, "Lin Mo, what do you think?"
Lin Mo's heart tightened.
'It seems Ming Yuexin is truly ruthless.'
Even at the cost of sacrificing an A-rank hidden class, she insisted on testing Lin Mo's loyalty.
In that case, Lin Mo had to be even more flawless.
"Let's wait a bit longer," Lin Mo said casually, "His class is rather special. Even if he can't wipe out Storm, he can hold them off for a while."
"We'll step in when he really can't hold on anymore. By then, it will instead help us build goodwill in front of him, which will be more beneficial for recruiting him into the Divine Nation later."
Seeing Lin Mo's indifferent attitude toward Black Night's life and death, and that he was indeed strategizing for recruiting Black Night into the Divine Nation, Ling Xue's heart finally settled, "Mm-hmm~ Looks like I really was overthinking it."
"Good. Very good!", Ling Xue felt a wave of joy inside.
Of course, in reality, Lin Mo said this not only to dispel Ming Yuexin's suspicions. He was also buying time for himself.
Because there were only three minutes left before his clone finished incubating.
If the Divine Nation went to the island now, they would witness the birth of Lin Mo's clone, which could disrupt his next plan.
So at this moment, Lin Mo had only one wish.
'Black Night, I hope you can hold on for these last three minutes.'
Once the clone fully formed, Lin Mo could remotely control it to rush to Black Night's aid and help him break out of the encirclement.
———
At the same time, on the island—
Blades flashed, swords clashed, and magic surged everywhere.
Giving it his all, under the siege of a thousand Storm Guild players, Lu Ye cut down dozens of them.
His terrifying strength left the surrounding Storm players in awe.
Lu Ye knew he couldn't hold out much longer.
But at this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.
That was to hold on for as long as he possibly could: 'That way...'
'When Mo reaches the island and sees the battle here, he'll realize something unexpected has happened and won't get dragged into this danger.'
Therefore, Lu Ye had already prepared himself to sacrifice his own life to ensure Mo's safety.
[T/N: I don't know if any of you play MOBA games, but in the game I play, Mobile Legends, there's a character called Hayabusa that has some similar functions like Black Night. I think maybe Black Night was inspired by him.]
