Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 277 Blood Moon Kurozumi Sharingan

He had seen that badge before; the eighth-place finisher in the second-tier arena was a solo player.

I had met him once in the hall; at that time, the man was wearing a peculiar badge on his chest.

The number eight was written on it, and out of curiosity, he asked about it.

Only then did I realize that this was a reward unique to the top ten in the second-tier arena.

The number eight represents the eighth place in the second-tier arena.

But the man they were ambushing had the same badge on his belt.

There were no numbers on it, only two simple words: Supreme Power!
I grass!

The analyst opened his mouth, and shouted in a voice trembling with fear:

"Captain, save me! This is the strongest in the second-tier arena!"

The manager, who was still wondering why Li Xia dared to take action against the 'life link', was stunned.

His eye twitched, and suddenly his whole body emitted a green light.

A verdant, illusory road suddenly extended directly from beneath his feet.

There are also things that resemble skateboard shoes.

It shot straight into the sky; was it trying to escape?

wrong!

When the manager flew into the sky, a green chain also materialized.

They directly bound the chained man and pulled him into the air.

They actually betrayed the analyst!
Amidst the analyst's despairing gaze, Li Xia's spear lightly pierced through.

It suddenly exploded in front of me, like blooming silver flowers.

The gun blades avoided all vital organs with remarkable precision, yet they pierced the analyst's body with a barrage of bullets.

With one shot, Li Xia's body would have another hole in the same spot.

The health bar dropped drastically in an instant, and continued to decline slowly at a visible rate.

This series of movements may seem complicated, but it is actually extremely fast.

Before the manager could even pull the chained man up, the analyst, with his lifeless eyes wide open in despair, lay on the ground and breathed his last.

Your squad member 'Analyst' has died.

The manager's body trembled slightly, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the corpse below.

Then he looked at Li Xia, whose entire body had turned into a 'blood gourd'.

I don't know whether to feel excited or scared.

"Second-tier supreme power. Hehehe."

A somewhat hurried voice came from the Black Gun Squad in the temporary team channel:
"We've hit a brick wall, manager, let's retreat!"

"Withdraw? Forget about it! Market volatility and fear are the perfect opportunities to buy the dip!"

The manager licked his lips, which were dry and chapped from excitement, his heart pounding.

"Have you forgotten? The life of this second-tier chief is very valuable on the black market."

The Black Gun Squad immediately fell silent, seemingly recalling the thrill they felt when they first saw the bounty.

"Is there a better opportunity right now?"

The manager said in a seductive voice:
"Based on the timeline in the bounty, this should be his first third-tier world."

Even if there are differences, we are already in a second world.

Moreover, he is affected by the chains and currently only has half health left, but his average attributes will be restored later.

The opportunity has been presented to us; if we succeed, we will leap to the top of the third tier.

"One step ahead, and you'll be ahead every step of the way!"

Silence fell over the team chat channel once again.

But just a second later, their voices, trembling with barely suppressed excitement, rang out:
"Fuck, it's done!"

The manager closed the panel, and two gleaming green short swords appeared in his hands.

His reddened eyes stared at Li Xia below.

Phase one of the Equilibrium Chains has ended!
[Executioner, the Chains of Balance have entered their second phase.]

[Balancing the five-dimensional attributes.]

【链接者属性：力量：8、灵巧：8、智力：16、精神：24、体魄：24】

【处刑官属性：力量：29、灵巧：29、智力：28、精神：29、体魄：29】

【均衡属性：力量：18、灵巧：18、智力：22、精神：26、体魄：26】

[Executioner, you have balanced a total of 34 attribute points. The balancing time is 164 seconds (200-34)]

"Hehe. He."

The thin man suddenly bent over and placed his hands on the ground.

His muscles swelled up rapidly as if they were being inflated.

The eyeballs in both eyes were vibrating rapidly.

Hot white steam billowed from his mouth, and surging power burst forth from every corner of his body.

In just a few seconds, the originally skinny and short man had transformed into a handsome man with smooth muscle lines.

"Alright? Let's go!"

The manager grinned maliciously and swung the light blade in his hand. Green light spread across his body, forming an extremely form-fitting suit of armor.

The chained man showed no surprise; he stared blankly at his attributes.

He squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth:

"He has a balanced stat allocation across all five dimensions, with all attributes at 29!"

First I was stunned, then I felt utterly absurd.

"At this point, there is no turning back."

The manager's voice was as cold as ice; he was like a crazed gambler who had staked everything.

"All in, we won—we've turned our lives around and become the best of the best."

"If you lose, then die a quick and painless death!"

He let out a wolf-like howl: "Black Gun, cover me!"

The emerald green swords swirled in my hands like butterflies, and I wondered what strange and mysterious skills these swords, formed of green light, possessed.

The afterimages that lingered in the air were almost as real as physical objects.

Li Xia's gaze remained calm, the blurred vision from her bloodshot left eye overlapping with the clear vision from her right eye.

It then has an added sense of unreality.

Ruby-red dragon scales suddenly appeared.

With a crisp "ding," the flattened, red-hot bullet fell to the ground, sending up a wisp of smoke.

Ordinary bullets are no longer able to penetrate the dragon scales' defenses.

But then Li Xia suddenly turned his body to the side, and at the same time, a muffled gunshot rang out.

The huge tree trunk behind Li Xia suddenly exploded, revealing a small, round hole.

The sniper spat in exasperation.

The reason why there are fewer and fewer gunmen as the rank increases is that the Apostles' perception is improving.

Ordinary humans with a high level of sensitivity can detect the gaze of others, let alone superhumans like the Apostles.

When these superheroes are pointed at with a gun, they experience a pricking sensation in the corresponding areas.

Unless you have skills like 'blurring', 'guiding', or 'deflecting'.

Otherwise, you either create an environment that the enemy cannot escape from, or you will inevitably be detected by the enemy.

I fired a test shot earlier and saw that Li Xia didn't dodge, so I thought the opponent's senses weren't that strong. But I didn't expect that he didn't need to dodge at all!

The sniper turned to look at his partner:
"Target, all of you, charge!"

One shot can be dodged, but having an extra gun allows you to predict the dodge path and block movement.

This is why snipers are willing to team up with archers.

The two of them together constitute a problem that most apostles could not solve!
"I'm afraid we need to deal with this first."

The archer's voice was somewhat serious. The sniper turned around and saw that an Felyne had somehow gotten up and was now perched on a tree trunk.

She was staring coldly at him with those big, round eyes.

The natural predatory instincts of felines were on full display at this moment.

The sniper swallowed hard. For some reason, he felt a faint sense of threat from the Palico in front of him.

How could it be just a Palico, cannon fodder used for scouting and attrition?

Do you feel threatened?

Sharp claws suddenly extended, gleaming coldly in the cool moonlight.

The figure of the black charcoal suddenly disappeared.

"Meow!"

Both the sniper and the archer could only see a blurry shadow.

As ranged apostles, dynamic vision is a key area they need to enhance.

Even so, it was still impossible to clearly see the cat's figure.

so.
"Instantaneous Movement Technique?!"

The archer target's cheek twitched twice, and then he suddenly leaped up and flipped backward.

While he was still in mid-air, several nearly transparent arrows, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds, were already hurtling towards the spot where he had just been standing.

The sniper simply shifted the trigger on his sniper rifle:
"Recoil firing!"

Suddenly, the sniper rifle's brake spewed out scorching gas in the opposite direction, generating a powerful reaction force.

The sniper was carried backward by this force.

At the same time, he swung the sniper rifle behind him, and with the help of the straps, the half-person-high weapon swung out in a semi-circle.

Then, with a flick of his wrists, two submachine guns resembling UZIs suddenly appeared.

A distinctive gunshot rang out, and brass cartridge cases emerged from the magazine.

While the UZI may not be as powerful, it has a much stronger suppressive force in terms of rate of fire.

Especially when paired with specially designed light bullets, it can deliver suppression in an instant.

Although snipers and archers use different weapons, their mindset of moving and then catching the original landing point is exactly the same.

A high-speed dash is bound to be an attack, so just dodge and attack your original location.

There's a 90% chance they'll catch the other person!

Sure enough, accompanied by the clanging of parries, the figure of the black-faced archer appeared in the archer's position.

With the help of his Sharingan, Orochimaru used the claw-shaped short blade he equipped with Kurozumi to deflect all the arrows.

The archer's cheek twitched a few more times as he cursed in the team chat:

"Are Palicoes that strong? They can deflect my five consecutive arrows? I can barely even see them myself."

The sniper had already flicked his wrist to put away the Uzi, which had emptied its magazine.

He pulled out two more pistols and took a deep breath:

"I saw on Quora that cats react seven times faster than humans! So their dynamic vision is naturally better than ours."

"Target, watch out! No Apostle can bear the humiliation of being killed by a Palico, no one!"

Strength decreased by 11 points, Dexterity decreased by 11 points, and the other attributes also decreased by 4 points.

Li Xia felt as if he had returned to the world of Monster Hunter in its second stage, yet he did not feel uncomfortable at all.

With his current control over his body and muscles, fluctuations of around ten points shouldn't cause him any trouble.

At that moment, the manager was laughing wildly like a madman, spinning and jumping in mid-air in a bizarre posture.

The two swords in his hands left behind a series of afterimages, and these afterimages actually had a certain attack capability.

Rather than mere illusion.

Li Xia felt a bit like Chizuru Kagura from The King of Fighters, who created phantoms to attack the enemy.

The spear danced around, parting the afterimages surging in from all directions.
Suddenly, the afterimage vanished, condensing into a rather thick-looking green giant sword.

It swung down hard towards his forehead.

Just as Li Xia was about to dodge, he heard the clanging of chains again.

Previously obscured by the phantom green light, the chained man had somehow materialized chains once again.

And this time the chains seemed to have materialized, running rapidly in circles around a large tree.

Li Xia's eyes flickered, and he had already understood the opponent's tactical design.

The chained man, already possessing 19 points of dexterity, is extremely fast. Even without any special speed-boosting skills, his speed is still considerable thanks to his pure dexterity.

He also possessed speed far exceeding that of humans, and the chains were wrapped around the tree trunk again and again, quickly forming a thick layer.

Limit your movement distance?
As the giant sword drew ever closer, in that split second, Li Xia suddenly crouched down, the spear in his hand trembling slightly.

A large, exaggerated arc-shaped slash drew a dazzling light across the night sky as it was flung out from the spear blade.

The giant sword was directly blocked in mid-air, and subtle collision sounds continued to be heard. Small fragments of light kept scattering from the point where the blade met the blade's edge.

The manager gripped the sword hilt with both hands, veins bulging on his forehead, and gritted his teeth to press down on the giant sword.

Damn, is this a monster?!
Even though its attributes have been nerfed, it's still so hard to kill!

At that moment, he inexplicably thought of another dead weak link: the 'analyst'.

If he were there, he could not only further weaken Li Xia's attributes, but also use some auxiliary mental abilities to interfere.

But the other party was so decisive that the manager was not only surprised but also somewhat frightened.

What terrifying combat intuition it must take to figure everything out in such a short time while ambushed.

They seized upon the only weakness in the balance chain and launched a fierce counterattack.

In the past, opponents who were chained were even afraid that the chained man would reduce his health by injuring himself.

Avoid taking action if possible, and drag it out until the second phase.

I never thought of retaliating, let alone attacking with non-lethal parts to stab someone to death.

They directly brought hope of turning the tide from the seemingly impossible situation.

Is this the monster? Is this the number one in the arena?
No wonder it's worth so much money!
A sinister smile crept onto the manager's lips once more.

It's a pity that today it's not just my team fighting alone.

He opened his mouth and roared:
"Black gun!"

Your temporary team member 'Target' is dead.

?

With an indescribable look of surprise, the manager turned his gaze away.

About several dozen meters away, an Articuno was slowly pulling its claw out of the target's throat.

Blood gushed forth like a fountain in the night sky, casting a crimson hue over the moon.

The sniper was sitting on the ground, backing away with a look of terror on his face.

Several hideous wounds had appeared on his face, and he looked at the Palico as if it were a demon.

Under the blood moon, Black Charcoal slowly raised his head, revealing his constantly shifting eyes.
Sharingan with three tomoe
"Meow!"
