Ark Chess Player.

She boldly barged in from the front, yet with her unique movement and teleportation, she constantly appeared behind others, almost moving as if following their shadows. By the time her opponents realized something was wrong and turned to investigate, the Kingslayer had already bypassed one person after another, heading straight for the rear of the enemy ranks.

"Wuhu!"

The kingslayer ran swiftly, carrying her short blade. She had never felt her steps so grounded, no longer fearing being blown away by the wind. Once, she had tied a rope to two trees and lay down to take a nap. When she woke up, she found herself blown up into the tree by the wind, staring blankly at the moon.

The regicide took every word Lin Lu said to heart.

Based on her understanding of Mei Cai Kou Rou, oh, Mephisto… Mei Cai Kou Rou is an incredibly hypocritical person. On the surface, he's polite, but in reality, he's cruel and full of sadistic tendencies. He always acts like he wants to strap a bomb to the world and blow it up, as if the whole world owes him something. In short, Mei Cai Kou Rou is a particularly annoying guy. He was once expelled from the Reunion Movement, but was later recruited by Talulah.

The regicide had expressed his dissatisfaction with this on more than one occasion.

It wasn't just the Kingslayer who opposed it; even Patriot and Frostnova showed strong aversion to Mephisto.

If the actions of most other members of the Reunion Movement can be summarized by reasons such as "revenge" and "fighting for rights," then Mephisto is undoubtedly the most psychologically twisted and the most ambiguously motivated member of the Reunion Movement. He simply treats war as a game and killing as a form of "sacrifice."

Beneath that childlike exterior lies a dark, filthy, and corrupt heart.

Perhaps the sludge in Chernobog's sewers is cleaner than Mephistopheles' soul.

The Kingslayer shook his head, putting aside his subjective impression of Mephistopheles and trying to think about it from an objective perspective.

In her memory, Mephisto's mastery of Originium Arts was no less than that of Frostnova. In fact, to some extent, compared to Frostnova, who suffered a heavy burden every time she used Originium Arts, Mephisto's casting process had no negative effects whatsoever, making her slightly better than Frostnova.

Mephisto's Originium Arts can rapidly heal the injuries of those infected with Oripathy.

The Kingslayer once witnessed a Reunion soldier with a severed arm reattach himself in just a few minutes using Mephisto's magic. Apart from a layer of Originium crystals appearing at the joint, he moved without any difficulty, as if reborn.

This is one of the reasons why Mephisto was able to hold a high position within the Reunion Movement. From a macro perspective, there are very few people skilled in medical Originium Arts. When the Kingslayer arrived at Rhodes Island, she was certain that Rhodes Island would be the organization with the largest number of medical mages in the world.

Now Lin Lu is telling her that these people have been affected by Mephistopheles's spell and turned into puppets... What does that mean?

The king-killer was somewhat confused, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

Since Lin Lu said there was no need to hold back, then she didn't need to worry too much.

Exhausting the true wolf's skills, it bestows death upon each prey.

"Good evening, everyone. I'm going to turn off the lights now."

The Kingslayer suddenly appeared before the Sorcerer Leader, greeting him with a smile, his crimson eyes narrowing as he smiled broadly.

"...It's you! The traitor of the Reunion Movement! The regicide!"

Enveloped in a black robe and wearing a red mask, the mage leader naturally recognized the former Reunion Movement cadre, the Kingkiller.

While celebrating victory in Chernobog, Lord Mephisto exposed the depravity of the foolish traitor, the Kingslayer. Her crimes ranged from slaughtering colleagues and raping children to trampling on the North Head Kindergarten and punching the South Mountain Nursing Home. Worst of all, she even stole the hunting dogs' food! She was utterly wicked and wicked. As black as coal, so black was the Kingslayer's heart. Mephisto likened the Kingslayer to mud in a cesspool, an outrage against humanity, and every soldier in the Reunion Movement wished nothing more than to kill her.

The kingslayer's direct subordinates vehemently refuted this, protesting Mephisto's slander, and were all imprisoned by him. Lord Mephisto stated that he would personally reform these people, saying they were all good comrades of the Reunion Movement, and that it didn't matter if they were confused in their beliefs; they could all be corrected and reformed.

"Concussion Spell! Ready! Release!"

The mage leader quickly gave instructions, clearly indicating that they had a specific tactic in place to counter the Kingslayer.

Under Lord Mephisto's interrogation... the members of the Kingslayer's direct forces obediently spoke up, revealing all of the Kingslayer's characteristics and weaknesses. They even accused the Kingslayer of forcing them to commit heinous acts, stating that even as thugs, they could not accept such evil deeds.

The regicide's status within the Reunion Movement changed from that of a cadre to that of a villain who rebelled, and he was despised by everyone.

The brilliance of Originium Arts illuminated the night sky, and a surging, yellowish gas wave erupted, sweeping out like a landslide and a tsunami. The spell cast by multiple people was obviously much more impressive than one cast by a single person.

The leader of the sorcerers was secretly pleased. After learning about the Kingslayer's light and agile nature, which made him easy to push over, he and the other sorcerers came to this conclusion.

The Reunion mages used the Originium crystals on their skin as a catalyst to rapidly contract the air, causing a violent tremor. This not only directly sealed off the Kingslayer's prized mobility but also ruptured her internal organs. Next, they unleashed a concentrated barrage of devastating explosive spells, severing her limbs.

In the sorcerers' imaginations, the kingslayer afflicted by the shockwave spell should bleed from all seven orifices, collapsing to the ground in agony, writhing and crawling like a hideous maggot. And they would mercilessly sneer, unleashing their magic upon the witch until she was burned to a crisp.

However, the expected scene did not occur.

The shockwave spell roared against the Kingslayer's frail body, merely lifting the hem of her robe high, without even managing to flip open her hood.

The sorcerers looked at each other in disbelief, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground. One of them even cast a shock spell on himself in disbelief, which ruptured his internal organs.

The regicide raised her hand in surprise, only then realizing just how precious the power Lin Lu had bestowed upon her truly was.

Weight increased by five levels, and... spell resistance increased to 85%.

Even if Frostnova came, she wouldn't be able to break through her defenses.

The regicide gripped her knife tightly, feeling a deep sense of peace that involuntarily brought a smile to her face.

When she met Lin Lu, he didn't have an Ark Driver; he was simply using his awakened power to help everyone.

No matter how much time has passed, no matter what has happened, even if he loses his memory, Lin Lu is still the same person he always was...

The Kingslayer wore a calm smile. She raised her head and strode past the four sorcerers. Time seemed to stand still; only after the Kingslayer had passed behind them did a crack appear on each of the sorcerers' necks, spreading rapidly…

The swirling blood mist painted the night with a bewitching beauty.

Chapter 180 Do You Need Spinal Cord Too? (Fourth Update)

Just as the Kingslayer was striking deep behind the enemy lines of the Reunion Movement, drawing the attention of most of the enemy...

Lin Lü, who was implementing the tactic of "attacking when the enemy is tired, harassing when the enemy is stationed, retreating when the enemy advances, and pursuing when the enemy retreats," encountered a formidable enemy at this moment.

A massive giant, nearly two and a half meters tall, strode heavily toward Lin Lu. He wore a white jumpsuit with ripped holes, and beneath an iron mask covering his face, black worms writhed. The giant butcher held a long-handled axe, an exaggeratedly large axe that looked half the size of Lin Lu, yet he handled it as easily as a toy.

His appearance and fighting style are like something out of a horror movie.

It's still the kind of low-budget, terrible plot, purely disgusting and bizarre movie.

"Mephisto, go to hell!"

Lin Lu cursed inwardly, barely suppressing the urge to parry with his bare hands, and narrowly avoided the butcher's giant axe.

If he gets hit by that, he'll be completely destroyed on the spot, turning into a wooden puppet.

The advantage of Lin Lu's choice of mobile defense was now evident. If an enemy of this caliber were allowed to charge the defensive line, even Hoshiguma would find it difficult to withstand it. After all, Hoshiguma could not retreat; Lungmen was right behind her. She would absolutely not back down even a step. This straightforward and simple-minded woman would stubbornly raise her Hannya to meet the attack head-on.

"Durability A, Attack A, Defense B, Magic Resistance A... Wow, did Mephisto personally apply some kind of magic oil to him? He's so tough, he's in a hurry to be reborn!"

Lin Lu was astonished to find that the assault rifle bullets couldn't even penetrate the Butcher's body; flesh and fat splattered out, accompanied by the dull thud of hitting metal. It was likely that under the influence of the Seed of Evil, the Butcher's entire skeleton had been assimilated by Originium, causing his mutated size to reach 2.5 meters.

"Ugh...that's disgusting."

Faced with the chilling sight of insects crawling across the butcher's pale eyeballs beneath his iron mask, Lin Lu felt a chill run down his spine, a feeling of physical and psychological revulsion washing over him. More than the astonishing axe that looked capable of cleaving a truck in two, Lin Lu was far more terrified of the insects lurking beneath his mask, as if G-like creatures were present.

Whether it's fortunate or unfortunate, soldiers implanted with the seed of evil by Mephisto experience a decrease in their cognitive abilities while their attributes are enhanced. These poor souls lose all emotion and the ability to feel pain, obeying only Mephisto's commands, and gain regenerative abilities.

Otherwise, no one could endure the feeling of hundreds of cockroaches crawling across their face. The torture of black worms crawling from the nasal cavity all the way to the brain, and then emerging from under the ears or eyeballs. Most importantly, the victim cannot die, clearly feeling every single moment of the worms wriggling.

If the Butcher were still conscious, he would have chased after Lin Lu with the mask in hand, most likely forcing Lin Lu to use his Black Card to transform into a knight and grind him to dust on the spot. To hell with Lungmen, to hell with the secret operation, not taking down Lungmen while he was at it was already a sign that Lin Lu was considering the bigger picture.

Lin Lu exhaled the chill that had been gripping his heart. He raised his assault rifle, and a cobalt blue light suddenly burst forth from the depths of his eyes.

A faint golden halo appeared around him, radiating a power of rules that did not belong to this world.

A buff aura that applies to AR humanoids, increasing damage by 20% and critical hit rate by 32%.

The rapidly flowing data materialized in the Spirit Realm's perspective, and the terrain conditions of the region were clearly memorized in his mind.

Surrounded by barren wasteland, seemingly offering no cover, the natural terrain is actually more deceptive and can serve unexpected purposes.

Lin Lu sprinted off, and the sensors on his metallic tactical boots and knee pads suddenly glowed with a dim, fluorescent green light. A faint electrical current seemed to flow across them, multiplying his running speed, making him move with the wind and disappear without a trace.

Because Lin Lu had lost his memory, and because Rhodes Island did not have data on the M4a1 humanoid, he could only act according to his instincts and intuition.

Even so, Lin Lu could clearly sense the power of the M4a1. Its incredible strength and the perfect synergy between its limbs and the weapon left him in awe. During its rapid run, it even kicked up sand and dust, obscuring its form.

The butcher, running with heavy steps, searched aimlessly for the enemy's trace in the dust, unaware that Lin Lu had already run up the steep slope, crouched down, and aimed his gun at the enemy's head.

"Target locked."

Lin Lu concentrated intently; this was the first time he had used a scope, because he wanted to ensure that the next bullet would hit the target 100% of the time.

In the magnified field of view of the scope, hideous insects crawled on the butcher's face, and the carved metal mask had eerie patterns.

"...Do you need a spinal cord too?"

Lin Lu said involuntarily, and pulled the trigger.

The burst of gunfire made Lin Lu feel a warm sensation on his cheek. The bullet struck the butcher cleanly between the eyebrows, splattering black liquid.

The 5.56mm bullet pierced the Butcher's head, causing the initial damage and the immense impact force causing his forehead to tilt backward. The real second damage occurred only after the bullet penetrated the enemy's brain cavity. The precision-guided bullet tumbled and rolled violently within the Butcher's brain, almost shredding his brain matter into a tangled mess.

Lin Lu did not stop. He continued firing until the entire twenty-round magazine of the assault rifle was emptied and the barrel was so hot it was burning to the touch.

—Is it over?

"I……"

The clear eyes reflected in the assault rifle scope trembled in horror, and Lin Lu couldn't help but swear again.

"Go to hell! Mephistopheles, did you fucking suck his mouth thirty times?!"

The butcher's neck was bent almost 180 degrees by Lin Lu's unerring bullets. What normal person could take twenty M4 bullets to their face?! This superhuman had done it. The butcher's ravaged neck cracked with the sound of breaking bones as he slowly pulled his mangled head back. His almost completely hollowed-out head was only held together by the iron mask; the back of his head was nowhere to be seen. Even so, he was still able to slowly turn his head and gaze at Lin Lu.

Damn it, how could an assault rifle be such an inconvenient thing?

Under the magnification of the scope, Lin Lu saw countless black worms crawling out of the butcher's neck, supporting his movements. Perhaps the butcher's internal organs had already been taken over by the swarm, or rather, eaten away by the worms.

Beneath the iron mask, the dense scurrying of insects seemed to mock and ridicule as the butcher charged towards Lin Lu, wielding his giant axe.

Lin Lu quickly turned to leave, but the moment he looked up, a strong sense of crisis made him stop immediately and lie down on the ground without any regard for his image.

In mid-air, a strand of black hair slowly drifted down, and a pitch-black blade, which hadn't made a sound, suddenly swung, nearly beheading Lin Lu.

A vengeful figure dressed in a gray hooded suit, a red face mask, and wielding a sharp blade lurked behind Lin Lu and indifferently delivered a second slash.

Chapter 181 The True Griffin Jupiter Cannon (Fifth Update)

The gleaming blade, carrying a fierce aura, swung down heavily.

Compared to the silent, deadly first strike, which was intended to kill instantly.

This strike carries an unparalleled, unstoppable force; it can even cleave iron in two!

Lin Lu, expressionless, braced his hands on the ground and kicked off with his legs. The bottoms of his humanoid metal tactical boots, comparable to blades, collided almost simultaneously! The two powerful forces collided, and the bottoms of the tactical boots, which were made of rolled uniform armor, were almost sliced ​​off by the blades, but fortunately, they barely held on.

"Tsk!"

A large "Danger" character rose above Lin Lu's head from the data-driven spiritual domain, indicating that the Butcher had already arrived within his perception range.

After weighing the options, Lin Lu gave up resisting the Avenger's dark blade and instead dodged along the opponent's point of attack.

The Avenger's blade fell smoothly, and even though its initial surging momentum was deflected, the sharp blade still struck Lin Lu's arm guard, sending sparks flying.

Just as Lin Lu rolled to the side, the Butcher's incredibly heavy axe came crashing down on the ground where he had been standing, cleaving the small hill in two with a single blow! Even the Avengers had to temporarily retreat; the Butcher, devoid of humanity and reason, would not hold back even slightly just because his teammates were present.

Lin Lu fell heavily to the ground in an extremely awkward posture. Instead of getting up immediately, he decisively performed a tactical roll to avoid the butcher's lightning-fast second axe.

With a deafening roar, a deep trench was carved into the desolate land, which had suffered from both natural disasters and human calamities. Sand and gravel flew everywhere, hitting Lin Lu with a crackling sound. Instead of being smug, he quickly got up while the giant axe was embedded deep in the ground.

The next moment, the Avenger leaped from the high platform, raised his sword with both hands, and unleashed a powerful slash with authentic swordsmanship.

An overwhelming sense of oppression descended from the sky, leaving Lin Lu with no choice but to raise his assault rifle with both hands to parry the blow.

Like a hot knife through butter, under Lin Lu's incredulous gaze, the assault rifle, so sturdy it could smash a wall with its butt, was easily cleaved in two by the Avenger. The instant the assault rifle was severed, Lin Lu felt a sharp pain in his head, as if something had torn apart a strong chain, rushing into his mind with memories.

A scene Lin Lu could never forget suddenly appeared before his eyes; he seemed to have been betrayed. Surrounded by countless strangely shaped, powerful mechs, he watched helplessly as a familiar figure was pierced by light, along with the familiar M4A1 rifle in his hand, destroyed. In the flames, the mangled humanoid girl fell into his arms, her half-raised limbs unable to touch his cheek, before falling to the ground with a weak thud.

As consciousness returned, tears welled up in Lin Lu's eyes without her realizing it, but this sadness did not last more than a few seconds.

This is a battlefield, a place where life and death meet, a ruthless place where emotions cannot dictate thought and judgment.

Being distracted on the battlefield is extremely dangerous, especially when the enemy is right in front of you.

Lin Lu instinctively raised his arms, a move that saved him from the tragic fate of being decapitated.

"Zizzizi-!!"

The alloy arm guard barely blocked the Avenger's swift sword swing. Sparks flew from the sturdy arm guard, and metal fragments flew everywhere. Lin Lu used the strong impact to quickly retreat.

To Lin Lu's surprise, the Butcher, who had been shielded by the Avenger, suddenly raised his heavy axe and, seemingly enraged, brought it down fiercely on the Avenger's head. Perhaps he found the Avenger an obstacle, or perhaps these black insects lacked the capacity for thought and simply wanted to destroy everything in their path.

The Avenger flashed away, and even the sudden attack from behind did not harm him in the slightest.

The cracked ground kicked up dust, but the Avenger strolled around nonchalantly, dodging the dust without even touching him.

This demonstrates that the Avenger in the red mask is far more powerful than the Butcher who was possessed by the black insects. Not only is his swordsmanship astonishing, but he was also able to evade the perception of the data-driven spirit domain—the second time the spirit domain has encountered such an unexpected situation for Lin Lu!

The first time he couldn't sense the Spirit Realm was on the night he traveled to Chernobog, when he encountered a grotesque monster mutated from the Seed of Evil in the wasteland. However, unlike the previous encounter, where an anemone had given him an urgent warning, this time…

What about anemones?

Where is my huge anemone?
