Soul Trigger

Chapter 301 Confrontation
What was different from the adventurer Ji Li had killed before was that this person had a string of bright red data on his head:
"Invading Adventurers: Lv.2"

Can you see the level?

While Ji Li was thinking, the Faceless Bone beside him had already pulled out a rib that grew faster than the wind.

When it was lifted into the air, it had turned into a long and thick bone spear, which pierced the stunned adventurer directly with a whistling sound.

[You gained a small amount of experience points]

[You have upgraded: Lv.1-Lv.2]

But soon Ji Li felt an extremely intense pain coming from the depths of his soul.

The next moment, his body suddenly disintegrated——

[Player has died]

?

The world was spinning before my eyes, and it turned into complicated blocks of colors that were pieced together and reorganized into a grey color.

When the gray colors converged into a colorful vision again, Ji Li found himself sitting on the throne again.

[The Demon King is dead! Adventurers, this is your victory...]

The male voice on the watch was still speaking, but it suddenly got stuck and a bright red arc flashed.

At this moment, the crystal on the back of Ji Li's hand was breathing red light at a high speed.

Then, the voice in the watch changed the subject:
[Notice to the Demon King's Castle: The Demon King's throne crystal has been reborn. Please destroy it again.]

No, there is some mechanism that I don't know about that is taking effect... but I used the red matter to circumvent it.

Ji Li thought of something, he quickly rushed out from between the thrones and returned to the city wall.

Turning around, I saw a dark beam of light rising into the sky, with a string of green characters floating in it:

【Throne Crystal (Devil King)】

Then the beam of light suddenly shattered——

[Player has died]

The intense pain in his soul came again, and Ji Li's eyes were spinning. Sure enough, he was back to the throne room:

The throne crystal should not be the light column, the light column is emitted by the throne crystal.

If the throne crystal is destroyed, you as the lord will die.

However, because he broke some rules by using the red matter, he was reborn after the throne crystal was destroyed...

Ji Li raised his hand and saw the watch and the red crystal. At this moment, white arcs were flashing on the red crystal, and red arcs were flashing on the watch, as if two rules were competing fiercely.

At the same time, a densely packed panel of ascension protocols appeared in front of Ji Li's eyes, and a large amount of data rushed past like a waterfall.

The curse seal of the other world on his left wrist was also emitting a madly hot temperature.

Dying under inexplicable circumstances was clearly inconsistent with the rules of the Lingliu Prison, and this "game system" did not tell him about the existence of the "Throne Crystal" mechanism.

In other words, the rules of this world want to put themselves in danger by deliberately concealing certain information.

The Ascension Protocol and the Curse of the Other World, as if through the red substance he had just used as a medium, began to try to fight against the rules of this spiritual prison.

If the rule of "the lord dies when the throne crystal breaks" is followed, it means that someone is destroying his "throne crystal" now...

In the logic frame window of the Ascension Protocol opened in the retina, it took Ji Li 0.2 seconds to organize his thoughts and review the information, and he rushed out directly from between the thrones.

While rushing directly towards the dark light column on the high wall, he also used the Ascension Protocol to begin recording the terrain and route of the Demon King's City in his field of vision.

Just as he bypassed a tall tower and finally saw the location of the pillar of light rising into the sky, the pillar of light shattered again:
[The player has died. 】

As the increasingly familiar severe pain came, Ji Li appeared on the chair again.

The calculation of the Ascension Protocol suddenly slowed down for a moment, and then the sound of a watch came to my ears:

[Due to the player's death, you lost some experience points: Lv.2-Lv.1]

[When the experience value reaches zero, the player character will be deleted. ]

"The rules of the Shallow Prison have begun to fight back..."

Apparently, the rules of the Lingbo Prison were also trying to circumvent the constraints of the Ascension Protocol and find a way to kill Ji Li:

If you continue to die, the risk will increase exponentially. The status of the evil lord's soul prison is indeed not low, which almost forces the influence on the soul.

As Ji Li thought rapidly, the Ascension Protocol presented countless logical frames in his retina, overlapping the madly rushing waterfalls of data streams.

"The location of the throne crystal is impossible for me to reach with my current physical fitness of the unity of body and soul, which is only at the level of 'Super Projection'."

"If someone is already destroying my throne crystal, then my speed of rushing over there will definitely not be as fast as their speed of destruction."

"But these are 'virtual game rules', and my thinking may not have changed yet..."

Ji Li didn't have much time to play games when he was in Murphy Megastructure, and after climbing higher and higher in the World Tree Group, virtual reality games were no longer among his enjoyment options.

But whether it is combat operations or enjoyment, Murphy's megastructure is inseparable from cyberspace, that is, virtual reality space.

The logic of this kind of thing is very similar to virtual reality games.

If he is set as a lord and there is a life-threatening object in the territory, then the lord can easily touch this object no matter what.

Ji Li immediately looked at the armrest at his hand, and after feeling around for a while he found that the armrest was actually a heavy movable cover.

After opening it, there was a black gem embedded in the space inside. It was also the only gem on the entire seat that had not been dug out.

"really……"

As Ji Li pressed it, the data flow of the ascension protocol in front of him suddenly stagnated, and then began to rush at an even more violent speed.

At the same time, another familiar male voice came from the red crystal:

[Trigger the main storyline: Guarding the Demon King's Castle]

[Mission Brief: As a resurrected demon king, I find that my territory is being destroyed. I should drive away the invaders, rebuild the demon king's city, and spread fear throughout the outer world again.]

Is it my own voice? Ji Li raised his eyebrows.

[According to the rules of the game "Outside the Realm": Since I am a "Lord", my soul essence will be highly bound to my territory and exist in the key form of the throne crystal. ]

[Since the current number of defenders in the Demon King's Castle is 1, my throne crystal is in danger. ]

[When the throne crystal was destroyed, my game character died.]

[Since I am a "Lord", neither I nor the Throne Crystal can be resurrected in the graveyard if I die - this unreasonable rule has been forcibly revised:]

[Since I am a "Lord", whether I or the Throne Crystal dies, we can be resurrected in the cemetery.]

[According to the game rules of "Outside the Realm": except for players with the profession of "Lord", only experience points will be dropped after death, and they will be resurrected in the cemetery. When the experience value reaches 0, the player character will be deleted - this unreasonable rule has been forcibly modified:]

[Except for players with the profession of "Lord" (not including me), after death, only experience points will be dropped and they will be resurrected in the cemetery. When the experience value reaches 0, the player character is deleted. ]

[Trigger the "Devil King" novice mission: Defend the throne crystal and drive away the first wave of invaders. ]

[The quest-required lord skill "Ecstasy Training (temporary)" has been issued. 】

[Quest Reward: Keep the Lord's skill "Ectoplasm Training". ]

[Side quest: Kill them all. Don't let go of any intruders in the throne crystal core hall.]

[Mission Reward: Open additional slots for summoning the Demon King's army.] [Note: Spiritual training: Consume spiritual essence to train the summoned Demon King's army into your spiritual essence derivative troops.]

As these characters and voices echoed in his ears, Ji Li's figure had already disappeared from the seat:

[You triggered "teleport"]

……

This is an open-air circular hall shaped like a throne, which is also in a dilapidated state and has three entrances around it.

At this moment, a rather breathless team was looking at the resurrected throne crystal in front of them, quite dumbfounded.

They were wearing untidy leather armor, with modern clothes underneath. The leather jackets and pilot jackets were of different colors, with strong gang characteristics.

The levels on the heads are also different.

There are eight people in total, the lowest one is level 1, there is only one, the highest one is level 3, there is also only one, and the others are all level 2.

"Shit...reborn again? Who the hell is this demon king? Didn't the lord die immediately after the crystal exploded?!"

"Don't stop, keep fucking going. Kill the devil and we can all leave this damn place forever!"

A group of people rushed forward again with weapons in hand.

One of them held a steel sword and yelled some unknown spell. A layer of green spiritual essence attached to the steel sword, and he slashed at the throne crystal.

But suddenly, the throne crystal burst into a burst of black light, and a figure appeared out of nowhere, blocking the blade with a loud bang.

A spiritual explosion erupted between the two. Feeling the great force in front of him, Ji Li stomped on the ground, unloaded the opponent's spiritual power in a few twists and turns, and slowly raised his head:

"Are you guys the ones causing trouble?"

He glanced over and frowned under his visor:
Gang members...criminals involved in illegal activities?

"Demon King?!"

The man who was fighting with Ji Li was stunned for a moment, but when he noticed the LV.1 on Ji Li's head, he immediately showed ecstasy:
"He's only level one?!"

The next moment, a violent black icefall came with a cry of "enchantment" all over the sky. Three ice sculptures instantly appeared on the ground, and two people were screaming and trying to pull themselves out of their frozen lower bodies:

[Kill an adventurer and you gain a small amount of experience. ]

[Kill an adventurer and you gain a small amount of experience. ]

[Kill an adventurer and you gain a small amount of experience. ]

[You have upgraded: Lv1-Lv2. ]

"Isn't this bastard only level one?!"

"He got a good skill!" The leading Lv.3 roared, "Destroy the throne crystal!!!"

Two crystal men who were rushing towards the throne suddenly quickened their pace and rushed up from the left and right.

But a burst of dark spiritual essence burst out, and a white shadow rushed out from it, detaching the head of one of them on the spot, and blood gushed into the sky——

"The Demon King's Army."

The Faceless Bone suddenly appeared at an extremely fast speed. Before the other person could react, he had already pulled out a rib and turned it into a spear, nailing him to the ground.

There were screams all at once, and the level 3 "Adventurer" suddenly gritted his teeth:
"Second-level guards...you go and kill the crystal, I'll hold it back!"

As he spoke, he raised the shield in his hand, but the Faceless Bone appeared in an instant, raised his arm high in front of his incredulous gaze, and stabbed suddenly with his bone claws in the shape of a knife.

With a loud bang, the heavy wooden shield exploded, and the sharp hand knife pierced through his entire sternum!

"you!?"

He looked at the Faceless Bone with disbelief:
"Guards of this level...are you the master out there!?"

The next moment, the sharp bone claws swung fiercely to the side, tearing the adventurer's body apart.

Blood rain and broken limbs fell from the sky, and the "adventurers" nearby were all terrified, and then a dark ice storm engulfed them.

The Faceless Bone rushed in with blood flowing. There was a crisp sound mixed with the popping sound of bones and flesh breaking, and a few screams. All the adventurers were wiped out.

[Congratulations, you have upgraded to LV.2-LV.3]

[As a lord, your level slightly affects your body, but more affects your troops and people - this rule has been forcibly modified to apply to player 279:

[The modified rules are as follows: As a cheater, your level has no effect on your body and troops, your spirit will not be able to recover on its own, and you will not be able to obtain spirit through spirit crystals. ]

[Your level cap will be locked at: Lv.3]

[Every time you die, you will lose 1 level of experience. When your level reaches Lv.0, your game character will be permanently deleted.]

[Your Demon King Army limit will be locked to: 1. ]

Ji Li looked at the long sword in his hand that had been enchanted twice and turned into a pile of ice:
"This is a bit difficult to deal with..."

He reached for his chest, but could not sense the obelisk that Bunny Girl had given him, which meant that he had no place to take out the Shadow Personality Burst Device and shoot himself.

If things continue to develop in this way, the situation will undoubtedly be extremely bad.

But the voice from Red Crystal also came:

[Complete the novice mission: Defend the throne crystal. ]

[I retained the Lord skill "Ectoplasm Training". ]

[Complete the side quest: Kill them all. ]

[My Demon King's Army summon slots have been expanded to 10. ]

"It seems your ban is not very good..."

Sensing that there were some changes in the soul trigger perception in his body, Ji Li made a move.

A powerful black energy burst out and turned into a withered skeleton. Under the effect of Ji Li's [Spiritual Training], it turned into a brand new Lv2 faceless skeleton.

Although the increasing restrictions on the Lingbo Prison's rules had become somewhat troublesome, the existence of the red crystal had apparently begun to ignore its prohibitions, leaving Ji Li with some loopholes.

At this time, the voice of Red Crystal came again:
[Main storyline: Guarding the Demon King's Castle]

[The Demon King's Castle has been decaying for many years, and is full of evil. It has become a resource hunting ground for adventurers to hunt evil and obtain spiritual crystals. 】

[As the resurrected Demon King, I will take back the Demon King's City, reorganize the Demon King's army, kill the high and mighty King of No Light, and destroy the entire Outer Realm.]

[Main story chapter 1: Raising fortifications]

[Under the command of the Lightless King, adventurers throughout the Outer Realm have noticed the resurrected Demon King. A force called the Outlaws is organizing a precision bombing of the inner city.]

[I need to raise fortifications and restore the watchtowers, and at the same time find a way to maintain and strengthen the Demon King's army and break the world's malice towards me. ]

[Guided mission: Raise the surveillance tower...]

Wait, bombing?

Before the Red Crystal's voice ended, Ji Li sensed a spiritual essence descending from the sky——

boom! ! ! !

Your character dies
