Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 475 Persistence and hard work won't guarantee victory
Luo Yi patted himself, looking somewhat bewildered.

Sona's eyes were red and swollen.

After ensuring that the stimulant that [significantly reduces cognitive abilities and moderately increases physical strength] is injected into the woman's body from the prosthetic limb.

He gently pushed away the person who was grieving the deaths of his two companions.

The Manchu warriors, bewildered but visibly becoming more excited, were at a loss.

He turned around and looked at Woyin.

She bit her lip.

Four chips inside the body.

It also activated the bionic organs according to the preset algorithm.

It showed the appearance of bleeding lips.

At the same time, it made the man's pupils reflect obvious anger.

Considering that we will need to generate revenue from the town in the future.

Luo Yi was unwilling to directly break ties with the other party.

Instead, they are preparing to make another gentler attempt.
-
After doing all this, Luo Yi took a deep breath.

The words that came out rose several pitches again.

"Give me a request to go to the temporary base!!!"
"immediately!
"immediately!!"

【Bionic Martial Arts: Tai Sui Approaching the Abyss】

As Luo Yi was speaking, he stepped on one foot.

At the same time, an indescribable phantom appeared behind him.

A strange gravity suddenly appeared in the air.

The once smooth and shiny stone floor of this guild shattered with a crash.

Cracks also appeared on the stone ceiling.

It's already on the verge of collapse.

The mercenaries who had been lingering in the guild were now staggering and swaying.

Nearby, a large area of ​​mercenaries had collapsed.

The sound of bones cracking under the strain emanated from his body.

Two streaks of blood have already appeared.

Despite struggling to stand up, she scrambled away from Luo Yi.

But he was already unable to move.

The mercenaries a little further away were not seriously affected.

But when he caught a glimpse of Luo Yi's crazed eyes...

He had already turned around decisively.

They were preparing to make a hasty escape.

Sona, the Barbarian Warrior, also regained her senses under the influence of the drug.

The spear he carried on his back was then pulled out.

A strange soul, resembling an ancestral spirit, also appeared on the surface of his body.

The face covered in paint also looked extremely ferocious.

"A carriage! Arrange a carriage for us!!"
-
Just as Luo Yi thought he had created this 'turbulent current'.

This will thwart Woyin's attempt to block the guild.

The only response to the two was the sharp, cold gaze of Wo Yin, who walked slowly towards them, his blond hair framed by eyes as sharp as a night owl.

And the other party's somewhat cold and inhumane response.

No one is allowed to leave!

"Especially you!"

The words just fell.

The silver longsword at Wo Yin's waist seemed to come alive and suddenly unsheathed itself.

Then the man held it firmly in his hand.

As Woyin gripped the longsword.

At first, everyone's vision went gray.

Then I had the illusion that I was in a vast, desolate wasteland.

The mercenaries nearby, affected by Luo Yi's [Bionic Martial Arts], felt a sudden lightness in their bodies.

As if shackles had been removed, they had regained their mobility.

Meanwhile, a mercenary in the distance turned his head, attempting to leave the guild.

But it felt as if a swamp had sprung up out of nowhere beneath my feet, and I was plunged into the mud.

They were completely unable to move.

Everyone who sensed Woyin's first display of this ability had their pupils shrink.

"What is this? The aura brought by battle qi?"

"But this isn't something that breathing techniques can achieve."

A swordsman whose mercenary rank has reached level 5.

He stared intently at Woyin, who was holding a long sword.

He held his gaze for a long time.

"No, this is because Lord Woyin has a full understanding of himself."

"Through sword-related skills, one can discover their own talents."

"The incomplete elements that are derived from this are taking concrete form."

"He's not far from being one of those legendary figures."
-
He was holding a long sword.

The swordsmanship incompletely manifested the [Elements] to restrain the crowd.

With his lips turning pale, Wo Yin issued a command in a deep voice.

"Everyone, take out your [identity badges]."

"Get checked!"

Then the longsword, shimmering with silver light, was suddenly raised.

It pointed directly at Luo Yi.

"Let's start with the most suspicious one: you killed your teammates during the last mission and now you want to leave."

He then pointed to the barbarian warrior standing to the side, whose gaze seemed a little off.

As for you.

"Something doesn't seem right. Just to be safe, you need to receive treatment from the Plague Doctor!"

As he spoke, he raised his longsword.

Ten silver lines emerged from the void and then underwent several leaps.

Finally, it transformed into several streams of light forming a cage, which covered Luo Yi.

The man should be locked in a cage.
-
And look at the swordsman who has manifested the [Element].

Luo Yi sighed.

[They're really troublesome.]

Indeed, the setup was rather rough due to the haste.

The opponent's swordsmanship is not bad.

There are no unnecessary movements; it's quite simple.

It's the kind of thing that's very solid.

And those elements are similar to the special skill branches that arise from one's own skills after mastering the 'realm'.

The opponent also used it quite skillfully.

He exuded an aura of a gifted mortal.

The power that can be attained through persistent training is called 'simplicity'.

If you call the other party the strongest.

That's clearly an overstatement.

But this kind of 'simple' strength.

It was also because the other party made an incredible effort.

The crystallization of countless repetitions.

If I hadn't met myself.

In some worlds at the mid-level of rank 2.

The other party might just snag the title of the strongest.

To become a character that requires the cooperation of multiple experienced reincarnators to defeat.
-
It's something that accumulates over time.

It took countless repetitions and practice to master this swordsmanship, which was aimed at him.

Luo Yi also noticed an unusually familiar and captivating charm emanating from the opponent's swordsmanship.

The opponent's swordsmanship was like a mirror.

It reflects on himself, who has some talent in martial arts, but is clearly still some distance from being a genius.

The way he persevered through repeated practice of [Bionic Martial Arts].

For once, Luo Yi had a rare thought: "Wouldn't destroying this sword technique be too cruel?"

But what I thought was completely different was...

The words that Luo Yi uttered were filled with unusual regret.

Why do you have to force me?
"Do you really want me to get serious?"

I didn't use what I wasn't very good at again.

It relies solely on memory inheritance and repeated training brought about by additional points and chips.

It relies on muscle memory and chips to exert its power.

Therefore, he was described by the 'Chen' who took him away as:

[Bionic martial arts] is more than enough to deal with mediocre people and those with some talent, but it is somewhat 'rigid' for some geniuses.

Luo Yi made a move in mid-air.

Then a strange, electronically synthesized shriek echoed through the air.

A metal skeleton, mixed with some rotting flesh.

A mechanical creation resembling a crab, with tentacles pieced together from the limbs of a different kind of monster.

It then manifested in mid-air.

At the same time, an indescribable foul odor permeated the air.

It continuously eroded the binding plains forged by the manifestation of the Silver Elements.

The sword energy that was about to turn into a cage was repelled.

As the mercenaries were freed from Woyin's restraints, they collapsed to the ground.

This caused Wo Yin's already pale face to turn grayish-white again at a visible speed.

His chest heaved violently.
-
Luo Yi simply looked at the group of mercenaries crawling on the ground.

Free up one hand.

He casually tapped the mechanical object floating in mid-air.

He calmly introduced his 'partner'.

"【Tilting down the Grand Duke Jupiter】."

"The prototype of [Bionic Martial Arts - Tai Sui Lin Yuan]".

"It is also a product that the [Starry Sea Mechanic] can theoretically design and manufacture."

"I think it would be more convenient to bring the original over and showcase its essence rather than figuring out how to enhance the power of the bionic martial arts based on it."

Looking at the group of mercenaries slumped on the ground.

And his body kept shaking.

Wo Yin was somewhat unable to control the sword energy in mid-air.

Luo Yi calmly explained.

"Of course, it goes from observing the prototype to selecting materials to manufacture it."

"It requires something that ordinary people cannot possess, something that can bridge the gap that cannot be bridged by perseverance and hard work."

"【talent】."

Luo Yi pointed his finger at himself.

"And unfortunately for me."

"You happen to possess this [talent] that defines your 'fate' and determines your fate."

"Now, may I accept the quest to leave the town, Captain Woyin?"

His response was met with Woyin's increasingly sharp gaze.

And the renewed expansion brought a heavy feeling of constraint.

The gray plain symbolizes the [elements].

And the longsword swung out again.

[Warp]

A silver, solid sword aura rose out of thin air.

It fell straight down like the bright moonlight shining through a window.

It then easily pierced through the thick armor of [Qing Tai Sui] beside Luo Yi, penetrating from the 'tentacles' mixed with limbs and even the head with several compound eyes.

Then it slashed the ground with an extremely smooth motion.

"Zhengzhengzheng!"

The silver sword energy crisscrossed, forming a large net.

In a short while, the ground was covered with cutting marks.

Meanwhile, the [Tai Sui] within this moon net instantly fell into disarray.

It was cleaved into several pieces, with blood and parts splattering everywhere.

Clearly, this swordsman hadn't used his full strength yet.

As Wo Yin slew [Qing Tai Sui], his chest heaved violently.

The long sword in his hand was once again pointed at Luo Yi.

"It seems that your so-called talent of being able to bridge the gap that perseverance and hard work cannot bridge and determine the ending of our 'fate' is nothing more than this."

Show your [identity badge]!
"If there are no problems."

He was met with Luo Yi's indifferent gaze.

And it was suddenly applied to the entire guild, causing the ceiling to shatter.

The mercenaries collapsed to the ground.

The strange gravity that caused Woyin to kneel on one knee before my eyes.

Luo Yi delivered the verdict in a very calm manner.

"I'm sorry, Captain Woyin."

"Persistence and hard work are such cheap things."

"So cheap that you, me, and even these mercenaries don't lack it."

As he spoke, Luo Yi patted the metal beside him, which was utilizing the [divide and conquer] property.

The body is restored to its original state, and the [Tilting Tai Sui] uses [Gravity Manipulation] to reconnect with itself.

I walked up to the counter where the authorization was issued.

"But perseverance and hard work alone will not bring you victory."

Luo Yi looked at the man behind the counter.

This indicates that [Tilting Tai Sui] can cancel the [Gravity] on the other party individually.

At the same time, he put his arm around the bewildered barbarian warrior beside him.

She gave the man behind the counter a friendly smile.

"Please give me a request to go to the temporary camp."

"She and I were involved."

He received the certificate from the trembling man that allowed the crow to drive the carriage.

After hearing the notification sound, "[You have accepted the commission and triggered the quest.]", I realized that I had already started the quest.

Luo Yi then strode forward with firm and powerful steps.

He left the guild in a very arrogant manner.

At the same time, he left out a sentence.

"Persist and work hard at things you don't have a talent for."

"It allows you to defeat people who are not hardworking enough or talented enough."

"But I am clearly talented, hardworking, and well-prepared."

"It is not among them."

What Luo Yi didn't know was...

All the methods he used were observed by an intelligent raven labeled with the [Blood Demon Art: Eye Concealment].
-
A few minutes later, on the carriage heading to the temporary camp.

Looking at Sona, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Luo Yi concluded, based on map calculations, that they were "close to reaching the temporary camp."

He then patted the barbarian warrior beside him.

"Are you wondering?"

Sona looked at Luo Yi with surprise and uncertainty.

"It is said that the [identity plaque] can record some information about the soul."

"Investigate whether the mercenaries have murdered other mercenaries over a period of time."

"Those who have the ability to communicate with the soul can detect such messages."

“I can communicate with the ancestral spirits.”

Luo Yi took out his [identity badge].

"So, do you want to see it?"

"Just to confirm? You can communicate with the [Ancestral Spirit], so you should be able to see it, right?"

At the same time, Luo Yi also reached for the gun at his waist.

They maintained the 'skin' that allowed them to continue their missions in the town.

Meanwhile, they have already used the other party's [lv3] identity to leave the town.

He wouldn't mind getting rid of this useless 'pawn'.

Sona hesitated for a moment as she looked at the smile on Luo Yi's face.

He still didn't accept the [identity badge]. It was as if he was convincing himself.

He said this somewhat hesitantly.

"You can't."

"You're not the kind of person who would kill someone."
-
Luo Yi also lowered his hand from the gun.

He grasped the barbarian's prosthetic limb, which was highly integrated with her nerves.

He said this with a smile.

"You have a good eye for people."

Then, in Sona's eyes, which had relaxed somewhat.

Luo Yi sensed that the carriage was about to enter the shadowy area at the edge of the temporary camp.

He then decisively transformed his palm into a short knife.

It pierced the other person's heart, and then twisted it casually.

By injecting a small amount of nanorobots that could control the body into the other party, they gained control of the body.

At the same time, they made preparations that could be considered a precaution.

After doing all this, he summoned [Qing Tai Sui] again.

Sona looked at him with shock and confusion on her face as her limbs became unresponsive.

Luo Yi added a sentence to the barbarian warrior.

"But I really am that kind of person."

"Because of your trust."

"I won't kill you, but I'll make the most of you."

Luo Yi hadn't finished speaking.

The smile on her face hadn't faded yet.

The next moment, his body merged with [Qing Tai Sui] beside him.

The carriage, along with the carriage itself, was cut straight in two.

This attack came without any warning or warning.

There was no indication whatsoever that they would make a move.

Even the light and shadow were not shown.

Only after the body was split in two.

The astonishing blade aura that had just manifested in the air, connecting the sky and the earth, was of immeasurable height.

And the carriage that overturned with a crash because the front half was neatly cut open and the back half continued to move forward due to inertia.

And the one in the carriage who fell to the ground in the chaos.

The lingering image of Luo Yi's smile still remained in her pupils.

Sona looked bewildered.

Also, the attack was launched because of the use of "My One and Only Blade".

Therefore, it escaped the state of [Fog of Deception].

Fang Yi revealed his figure at the end of the road.
-
Watching as the knife marks were quickly healed by breaking them down into smaller parts.

It has regained its original body.

Luo Yi emerged from the wreckage of the carriage.

Fang Yi tilted his head.

I greeted the other person.

Good evening, Mr. "God of War".

You're a little slow.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

He could see Fang Yi right in front of him.

Luo Yi's pupils suddenly contracted.

[Fang Yi! Is he lying in ambush on me?]

How did he determine that I harbored murderous intent towards him, and that I was the person in the carriage?

The message in my ear reads: "Because you have not activated the [Simulated Phase Crystal Core Energy Storage Chamber], the [Divide and Conquer] function has been passively activated."

The opponent's attack possesses the property of [removing the undead nature of living beings].

[Your body's energy has decreased by 38%, and some of its chip structure has been damaged.]

The notification sound indicates that the number of available computing cores has decreased from 72 to 49, resulting in a 17% decrease in computing performance and an 11% decrease in physical performance.

Enduring a somewhat sluggish body.

Luo Yi quickly issued the command "Activate [Phase Deflection]".

A sense of foreboding began to rise in my heart.

How did he manage to bypass my senses and launch an attack, preventing me from activating the [Phase Crystal Core Energy Storage Chamber]?!

Before he could even ponder why the other party had abandoned their identity as a "gunman" and openly used knife skills, he was already at a loss.

Fang Yi's Prometheus had already fired.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

It is constructed purely using incantation power.

The bullets, protected by [Silk Binding], are immune to environmental interference caused by [Magic Depletion].

As it spewed from the muzzle, it traced an extremely strange arc.

It shot to the side, which was being pieced together and repaired at a slower pace than before due to the blessing of [Death in the Mist].

The mechanical creation [Tai Sui] is about to be restored to its original state.

[Foolish, bullets can't destroy that kind of metal.]

Once it uses its [Gravity Manipulation] ability, your death is imminent!

He only glanced at the trajectory of the bullets that emitted black flames.

Having completed the calculations, Luo Yi didn't even glance at the mechanical creation beside him.

He swung his right fist fiercely.

【Bionic Martial Arts - Soaring Dragon】

As the 'turbid dragon' composed of machinery and rotting flesh appeared behind him.

This space fully embodies the concept.

The 'turbid dragon' opened its massive mechanical maw, its body constantly shedding parts and rotting flesh.

A bizarre image of someone attempting to scream.

The whispers that are extremely visible in the air, bringing about "mental pollution," will become a reality.

It manifested as several invisible chains of filth, woven into a large net.

As they gathered and headed towards Fang Yi.

They caught a glimpse of Fang Yi wielding his longsword once more in response.

Luo Yi responded arrogantly.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time too!! Fang Yi!"

In addition to making a response.

Luo Yi, meanwhile, calmly manipulated the [Qing Tai Sui] that was about to be hit by a bullet.

[The user] uses [Gravity Manipulation], with a strength of...

However, before he could finish relaying the order...

Then a notification sound from the space rang in my ears.

Your mechanical creation, [Tai Sui], has been destroyed. The number of mechanical creations you can currently control has decreased to 0/2.

Luo Yi looked incredulously at the bullet flying towards [Qing Tai Sui].

But all we see is the visual distortion caused by the idea of ​​"not seeking personal glory".

It hit its body prematurely.

They seized the opportunity presented by the recovery of mechanical artifacts.

The attack hit the 3/7 score perfectly, triggering the [Ten-Stroke Spell] and [Black Flash].

They concocted a bullet that warped space, completely destroying [Qing Tai Sui] and turning it into wreckage.

Luo Yi, who witnessed this scene, was filled with disbelief.

[A bullet with visual interference properties, similar to illusion, capable of misleading perception.]

[A powerful attack that can distort space upon impact.]

Isn't he a master swordsman?

The next moment, the chilling magic that gathered in the air answered his question.

[Zero-Time Calculation] [Return of the Spiritual Source]

Frosty Wind

As the long-lost "Dragon's Heart" within Fang Yi's chest began to throb and roar.

Restless magical particles lingering in the air.

Even with the blessing of [Zero Hour Calculation], it reluctantly transformed into cold air, which emanated from the man's body.

The invisible chains that intertwined to form a vast web of filth were frozen.

It exploded with a bang, turning into countless tiny ice crystals.

It also sealed Luo Yi and the phantom behind him into the iceberg.

Facing Luo Yi, who was sealed inside the iceberg.

Fang Yi tilted his head.

"It seems you weren't prepared for this meeting?"

Fang Yi's response was a sudden, crisp sound in the air.

"Crack!"

And Luo Yi's somewhat embarrassed response.

"The battle isn't over yet!"
"You seem to underestimate me a bit!"

With a spatial fluctuation spreading out, the Phase Deflection skill, which consumed 30% of the body's energy, was activated.

Luo Yi, who emerged from the iceberg with a somewhat pale face, waved one hand.

After the body's remaining energy dropped to a dangerous 13%, it was depleted.

A massive dragon shadow appeared in the air, almost filling the entire road and pushing aside the trees on both sides.

The enormous dragon shadow, pieced together from countless broken parts and decaying flesh, had just appeared.

It opened its huge mouth and roared at Fang Yi.

However, that wasn't a real roar.

That is a kind of polluting [positional suppression].

It carried a strange aura of filth, corruption, and stagnation.

It was an attack that seemed to want to overturn the entire structure of the space, forcing the rules to yield to it.

With the materialization of the Dragon Shadow.

Fang Yi's movements also stopped at the moment he tried to swing his knife again.

Looking at the reward above my head, which cost 500 merit points and the equivalent of 210000 points from several worlds, I realized that this was the result of crafting.

The absolute ace, named "Reverse Turbid Dragon," completely reversed the situation upon his appearance.

Luo Yi revealed an unusually relieved smile.

He took out an [Energy Crystal] and began to restore his body's energy.

At the same time, he succinctly explained the dragon's ability to Fang Yi, who was unable to move due to the [time lag].

"A dragon with the characteristic of [positional suppression]."

"If your rank is not higher than his, you cannot avoid the [time lag] and [corruption] it brings."

Then, Luo Yi cautiously took a few steps back.

At the same time, he raised his right hand and placed it on his right ear like a megaphone.

He made a listening gesture.

It was as if they wanted to give Fang Yi a chance to speak and listen to his last words.

But Luo Yi quickly lowered his right hand.

He gave Fang Yi an extremely wicked smile.

“Kill him, [Reverse Turbid Dragon].”

At the same time, he uttered some very offensive words.

"You think I want to hear your last words?"

"I don't have that bad habit."

Fang Yi watched as the [Reverse Turbid Dragon] was about to be swallowed up.

Luo Yi uttered the words of farewell.

Goodbye, Fang Yi.

"Your persistence and hard work are commendable, but they won't guarantee you final victory."

"Because there is a chasm between us called 'talent'!"
"Your 'fate' has already been decided!"

The only response he received came from Fang Yi's chest.

A dragon roar, as if it had been provoked.

This heart, conceptualized as the "Last Dragon," unleashed a dragon roar.

The [Reverse Turbid Dragon] meandered towards Fangyi, blocking the entire road.

To Luo Yi's bewildered gaze, it looked like a long strip of puffed food that had been broken by external force.

It broke cleanly into two pieces.

Then it broke into fragments and peeled off layer by layer.

Finally, it simply turned into a pile of debris that fell to the ground.

Looking at that ship that had cost him his entire fortune and all his hard work...

The ultimate ace's bizarre death scene was created by exhausting all of the skills of the [Starry Sea Mechanic] and linking talents and traits.

Luo Yi suddenly lost his ability to think.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

My [Reverse Turbid Dragon] has been destroyed just like that?

[That mechanical creation certified as capable of roaming freely at Rank 2]

Destroyed by a dragon's roar? How is that possible?

He watched as Fang Yi, unarmed, rushed towards him.

They still wanted to make one last desperate attempt.

Even though he closed the distance, I can still maintain that distance as long as I activate [Break Down].

As long as I can get back to the town, as long as I can get back to the safe zone, I can...

[Inherent Time Control - Double Speed]

The only response he received was Fang Yi's sudden acceleration.

And the last words that echoed in his ears.

"I'll return this sentence to you verbatim."

"Your persistence and hard work are commendable."

"But it won't give you the final victory."

I heard voices around me.

Before the [Martial God Chip] could provide any notification.

Luo Yi then realized the technique the other party was using.

This speed alters the flow of time itself, and I can still use it.

Unfortunately, Luo Yi no longer had time to continue thinking.

They were even less able to take any action.

Because as the phrase "[境·舍我其谁]" unfolds...

[This Fist is the Only Method] [Ten-Stroke Spell] [Black Flash] Linkage.

An ominous black light that had been hovering over the man's hands suddenly burst forth.

It had already accurately hit Luo Yi's body, which was turning into liquid.

It easily annihilated this strange metal.

This completely halted the other party's strategy of "breaking down the whole into parts".

This brought the battle to a "perfect" close.

Luo Yi watched as his body turned to ashes and sensed that his energy had completely dissipated.

The message that rang in my ears: "You have killed a reincarnator from the same dimension. You will not receive the treasure chest reward."

[Due to the influence of the merit item [Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose] used by the opponent, you can selectively acquire some of the opponent's traits and skills] This is the meaning of the prompt sound.

Then he added a sentence that the other person couldn't hear.

"Because there is a gap between you and me that cannot be bridged even with talent."

I've been planning this for so long and gathering so much intelligence.

[They launched a surprise attack right from the start, and even used so many 'trump cards'.]

If you don't die quickly, then wouldn't I be the clown?

Fang Yi was just about to turn around and leave.

But then I heard a notification sound in my ear.

【The Human Elixir Method】greets you. It has been detected that you have killed a reincarnator possessing a 【Martial God Chip】 whose original content has been altered.】

[It is recommended that you remove the [Human Elixir Technique] and place it on its body to collect relevant information from the [Martial God Chip] and repair the [Human Elixir Technique].]

[Simultaneously pay 'fuel' to obtain a solution that completely destroys its memory backup, eliminating any possibility of resurrection.]

Fang Yi revealed a very standard smile.

[Interesting, you can revive this way even after the kill notification has been skipped?]

He finally unearthed the "Human Elixir Method" after a long absence.

I'm prepared to pay a small price to add another handful of soil to the enemy's grave.

Make sure the other person's coffin is pressed down firmly.

To prevent the other party from resurrecting themselves.

At the same time, some unexpected gains were made.

(End of this chapter)
