Chapter 1145 The Courage Given by Lin Yi

“Weaknesses are something we can’t really point out right now. But your choice not to confront Tremor was the right one. You know Tremor’s character and personality better than any of us.”

"It's impossible for him to help you. He's standing next to you, fighting against the Immortal King's avatar with you, just to prove his own strength. There aren't many pure guys like him anymore."

Speechless, really speechless.

In Lin Yi's view, it would have been better if Wuzhiqi hadn't said anything at all, since it was tantamount to reminding him that he had almost no chance of winning.

In order to survive, Lin Yi had no choice but to suppress his sharp tongue, patiently shrug, and look helpless:
There's nothing I can do. My divine power level is far inferior to his, and coupled with his extremely precise control over divine power, I really have no way to deal with him. Perhaps you have the ability to compete with him?
Trembling isn't stupid.

He knew he was no match for the Celestial King; in a one-on-one duel, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Fortunately, the situation wasn't so bad. What he was facing now was not the Celestial King's true form, but merely a divine avatar of the Celestial King.

If I can defeat it, it will be a very significant event for the entire Dark Rising organization.

The Dark Rising Organization aims to overthrow the forces led by the Immortal King.

Defeating the Celestial King's divine avatar will undoubtedly give the members of Dark Rising a powerful buff, causing their combat power to skyrocket.

Don't underestimate the impact of morale; it can significantly boost combat effectiveness.

The members of Dark Rising don't care whether Tremor defeated the main body or the clone.

The fall of the one representing the Celestial King would be enough to inspire the other members.

Facing the Celestial King himself, Zhan Li wouldn't go looking for trouble alone; but facing an avatar, he truly had a chance to fight back.

Moreover, he had already witnessed the benefits Lin Yi brought in terms of support.

"I know what you're up to, kid. If you want to survive, I can help you. But you have to remember what I'm saying. Once you find the right opportunity, make sure you escape immediately and let everyone think you're dead. And don't ever appear in front of the Dark Star members in your original form again, okay?"

Lin Yi did not directly answer the question about trembling.

"If I wanted to expose you, would I need to wait until later? Don't be too confident, defeat that guy's clone first."

Having said that, Lin Yi flashed behind Zhan Li, placed a hand on Zhan Li's shoulder, and began to explain:

Don't resist my divine power. Trust me, I have no intention of harming you right now. You are my hope for survival, and in doing so, I can provide you with a lot of assistance.

Crimson flames erupted from his trembling body.

This flame, apart from its similar appearance, is different from ordinary flames in even its basic properties—it is not hot at all.

That was the appearance of battle intent reaching its peak, and primordial power boiling.

"Come on, kid, I'll..."

[Rune Infusion]

As Lin Yi's source energy entered his body, he trembled and saw two unfamiliar icons appear on his status bar.

Clicking this icon will show you detailed information.

[Skill Type: Active Skill]

[Rank: Fifth Rank]

[Series: Necromancer]

[Cost: 8000 Mana] [Channeling: None]

[Cooling time: None]

[Effect: By studying the power of necromancy runes, imbue a weapon with a unique necromancy enchantment.]

[Blood Rune: Enchant a melee weapon, granting it the following effect: When an attack hits, 5% of the damage dealt is converted into health regeneration.]

[Plague Rune: Enchant a ranged weapon, granting it the following effect: On hit, there is a 60% chance to inflict the Plague status on the target, causing them to lose 0.5% of their maximum health per second for 10 seconds. This effect can stack up to 10 times, but its effectiveness is reduced against enemies in higher hexes.]

[Cursed Rune: Enchants any type of weapon, granting it the following effect: On hit, there is a 10% chance to inflict one of the following abnormal statuses on the target: Weakness Curse, Exhaustion Curse, Blindness Curse, Choking Curse, Vulnerability Curse.]

[Weakness Curse: Reduces the target's all attributes by 10% and movement speed by 25%.]

[Fatigue Curse: Increases the cost of all spells cast by the target by 50%.]

[Blinding Curse: Reduces the target's attack hit rate by 15%.]

[Choke Curse: Increases the casting time of all the target's abilities by 30%.]

[Vulnerability Curse: Reduces the target's armor and magic resistance by 20%, and increases all damage taken by 10%]

[Note: This enchantment effect is exclusive and can be stacked with other enchantment effects. All three of the above will give you the rune enchantment effect, which lasts for 72 hours.]

Looking at the skill description, Zhanli was deeply shocked.

This kid! How can he be so incredibly talented?

Don't underestimate this seemingly insignificant fifth-tier necromancy skill with its low cost; its powerful effect left him speechless.

Even with all three rune effects activated simultaneously, the improvement for Lin Yi was minimal. There was no way around it; the gap between him and the Immortal King was simply too vast, meaning their so-called rank was on completely different levels.

Even if all the curse effects take effect, they will only have a very small impact.

Looking down at the weapon in his hand flashing with three different lights, Zhan Li knew clearly that he had already won half the battle before it even began.

His divine power is on par with that of the Celestial King. Even though there is a huge gap between his control and foundation of divine power, these gaps can be greatly reduced when facing an avatar.

The boosts Lin Yi provided may not seem like much in terms of numerical value, but when the divine power levels are the same, the effect they can have is truly extraordinary.

The numerical reduction may not be significant, but the cumulative effect of repeated reductions will become immeasurable.

"Boy, you!"

Before Zhanli could even open his mouth, he was already in front of the Immortal King's avatar.

When Lin Yi's clone launched the surprise attack earlier, the Immortal King's divine power clone remained extremely calm because Lin Yi was unable to exert any influence under the influence of his two supreme laws.

If the one who makes the move is Trembling, the effect will be completely different.

Didn't he miss the era of equipment enhancement? Why is the weapon in his hand gleaming?!
The eyes of the Celestial King's divine power clone were filled with disbelief.

Before he could figure it out, the trembling had completely disappeared and was behind him.

Seeing the trembling blade raised high and about to fall, the Celestial King had no choice but to gather as much divine power as possible in his palm to defend against the attack.
