Rumble!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared across the night sky as torrential rain poured down.
[Desire Island]
Screams rang out endlessly, white lights rose and fell one after another.
Under Lu Ye's slaughter, the Storm players were thrown into complete chaos.
"Boss! Black Night is too strong!"
"And his power seems to be getting higher and higher!"
"He can absorb the souls of the dead to increase his own attributes. If this keeps up, I'm afraid he'll soon be able to activate that sword puppet summoning skill he used back in Silent Town!"
"If he summons the sword puppets, it'll be even harder for us to kill him!"
That was true.
The Shadow Sword God class could convert the souls of the dead into shadow aura.
Normally, it remained in the [Hidden Breath] state, where each strand of shadow aura granted the Shadow Sword God a 0.5% increase or reduction in damage.
When the shadow aura stacked to 100 layers, the second form [Burst Breath] could be unlocked, releasing the shadow aura to summon one hundred shadow sword puppets.
Right now, because his shadow aura hadn't reached the required amount, Lu Ye still couldn't activate Burst Breath.
Watching so many of his subordinates fail to deal with a single Lu Ye, the Tyrant was furious.
"Damn it! A bunch of useless trash!"
"If brute force doesn't work, then change tactics!"
"Where the hell are the mages? Are they all hiding in the back doing nothing? Use your control skills!"
Space was indeed limited.
Only after pulling some of the front-line warriors and knights back did the mages have room to act.
Dozens of Light and Dark mages stepped forward together, raising their staffs.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A chaotic barrage of multicolored magic surged in from all directions, bombarding the battlefield.
In the crowd, Lu Ye, who had been cutting through enemies unstoppable, had already gathered 91 strands of shadow aura. He was just about to reach one hundred, activate Burst Breath, summon shadow sword puppets, and hold off Storm for a while longer.
At that moment, he was locked down completely by the mages' immobilization spells, halos, death bindings, and all sorts of disgustingly oppressive control skills, unable to move at all.
"He's controlled!"
"Archers and mages, go! Focus fire and take him down!"
Amid the shouts, his pet [Blue Sprite], which had followed Lu Ye for a long time without ever suffering defeat, was killed by a group of Storm assassins.
Around him, large numbers of Storm archers and mages took position, all locking onto Lu Ye.
At this moment, Lu Ye felt not the slightest fear of death.
Instead, there was only calm acceptance.
Because it had already reached the time he had agreed upon with Mo.
'Mo didn't show up. That means he must have seen the situation here and withdrew in time.'
'As long as Mo isn't dragged into this, I have no regrets even in death.'
———
At the same time, Outside the island, by the shore—
Lin Mo suddenly felt as if an image had appeared out of thin air within his consciousness.
It was as if a third eye had opened for him.
Now, a quote smirk flickered onto his face for a second.
'The clone… has activated.'
———
Deep within the Desire Island—
Beneath a coconut tree where Lin Mo had hidden the incubation point of his clone—
Rustle!
Amid swirling golden light, a golden light curtain tore through space and spread open.
The next moment, a man stepped out from within the light.
He stood 178 cm tall, weighed 55 kg, with a model-like physique.
His gaze burned, his features sharp as if carved by a blade, indistinguishable from a normal player.
Above his head, a white ID appeared.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Mo] (Lv50 Tier 3 Assassin)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
At the very moment the clone was born, just like any normal player, his mailbox immediately began flashing.
[Ding~ You have received from player Rulebound via mail: Lv50 Tier-4 Green Equipment · Slaughter Dagger +1!]
[Ding~ You have received from player Rulebound via mail: Lv50 Tier-4 White Equipment · War Soul Ring +1!]
[Ding~ You have received from player Rulebound via mail: E-rank Assassin Skill Book · Rapid Stab +1!]
[Ding~ You have received from player Rulebound via mail: Common Pet · Fierce Tiger +1!]
After inheriting the Lin Mo's SSS-rank talent Soul Flame, the clone also inherited all of his evolution points.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Equipment Evolution Points: 1,253,520
Skill Evolution Points: 1,158
Pet Evolution Points: 525
Title Evolution Points: 3
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
At this moment, standing on the shore and separated from the clone by the sea, Lin Mo could perfectly control every action of the clone through his mind.
Including all of its senses, hearing, smell, and vision.
Under Lin Mo's remote control, the clone moved like a player with independent consciousness.

Equip all gear with one click.
Learn all skills with one click.
Deploy pet with one click.
Whoosh!
In an instant, golden light burst from head to toe on "Mo," like a world-shattering powerhouse.
A clone had to be as flamboyant as possible.
It had to radiate overwhelming presence at a glance.
Otherwise, how could it command figures like Black Night, Yu Jin, Zhao Ling'er in the future, or suppress allies?
So he directly activated all equipment effects without hiding them.
Full combat mode activated.
The next moment, under Lin Mo's mental command, Mo activated the SSS-rank movement skill Phantom Step (for 15 seconds: movement speed +100%, attack speed +100%, absolute dodge +50%). His body turned into a phantom as he dashed toward the southern battlefield of the Desire Island.
———
On the other side of the island—
Under the relentless control of a large number of Storm Guild mages, Lu Ye was almost completely unable to move.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under the focused fire of archers and mages, endless arrows and magic orbs shot in from all directions, slamming into Lu Ye.
-835!
-959!
-914!
The extreme damage reduction brought by over ninety layers of shadow aura, combined with the massive percentage-based attribute bonuses from his talent, made Lu Ye incredibly durable.
But even so, he couldn't withstand Storm's overwhelming numbers.
In just one round of concentrated fire, Lu Ye's health bar was nearly emptied.
Looking at Lu Ye on the brink of death, the Tyrant let out a cold snort, "Stubborn fool. If you had known better, why end up like this?"
"Kill him."
With the Tyrant's command, the surrounding Storm archers and mages prepared to finish off the critically wounded Lu Ye with another round of focus fire.
At that moment—
Whoosh!
A "lightning rat" suddenly shot out from the darkness and charged straight into the Storm Guild crowd.
"What was that?"
No one on the field could even clearly see its form.
They only saw a streak of golden light, like lightning, tearing through the Storm players surrounding Lu Ye at a speed beyond the naked eye.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.
A brief moment of silence, the next second—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All around, countless white lights shot into the sky from within the crowd, illuminating the pitch-black night as bright as day.
