To everyone’s shock and surprise, the Assassins that were killed did not turn into white light and disappear. Instead, they turned into red radiances and were all absorbed by Zorro.
“Eh?”
Wang Yu was no longer the same gaming noob that he was back then. After fighting so many BOSSes, he had accumulated a decent amount of experience to know that a scene like that meant that the BOSS was up to something.
Therefore, Wang Yu checked it out.
“F*ck!”
After looking at Zorro’s attributes, Wang Yu’s pupils contracted.
In terms of attributes, Zorro did not have much change but there was an additional BUFF.
[Sacred Sword Imprint]: Receive a layer of Sacred Sword Imprint for every kill and each layer of imprint increases all attributes by 1%. The maximum number of layers: 20. Once 20 layers attained, ultimate mode will be activated. Current number of layers: 15/20.
Homicide BUFF… Damn it! To think there were still such things.
To be honest, Zorro’s current strength or even after the 20% increase in strength was still within Wang Yu’s capabilities. Wang Yu would merely have to spend a little more time to take care of him but the ultimate mode was something Wang Yu couldn’t be certain.
Ever since the start of the game, Wang Yu had met many BOSSes and none of those who knew how to transform would turn out to be easy to deal with.
At this moment, Zorro had already received 15 layers of BUFF. Killing five more would trigger the ultimate mode but Wang Yu was not worried about the Quan Zhen Sect’s players. These fellas were all quick-witted who knew how to run in the face of any sort of danger. However, that couldn’t be said for the players of Void Blade.
Everything would be fine if they remained where they were to spectate. Their urge to get involved caused much more trouble for everyone here.
It was easier for Wang Yu to defend Yang Nuo and the two others because they were obvious targets.
There were a total of fifty Assassins from Void Blade. Besides the ten who were killed by Ming Du and the 15 that died in the hands of Zorro, there were still about slightly more than 20 of them.
With that many people left and the fact that Wang Yu did not know any of them, it was impossible to know who Zorro’s next target was. It was physically impossible for Wang Yu to protect them all.
In a blink of an eye, Zorro had already charged towards the crowd of Void Blade’s players like a lion amongst a herd of sheep. He started swinging his blades wildly without holding anything back and within seconds, he killed another four players to raise his BUFF to 19.
Fortunately, Fearless was never going to let everyone down at the crucial moment as he gave his commands, “Kill!”
When the players from Quan Zhen Sect received his instructions, they raised their weapons and started aiming towards the rest of Void Blade.
The remaining Assassins had no idea what happened as they simply stood there and were sent straight back to Twilight City by the Quan Zhen Sect players.
Without any more targets, Zorro turned to focus on the Quan Zhen Sect.
Under Fearless’ command, the entire Quan Zhen Sect quickly gathered and hid in a formation behind Wang Yu.
After exchanging so many blows with Wang Yu, Zorro knew that he wouldn’t be able to last long against Wang Yu. Therefore, he made up his mind to attack Vainglory and the others instead.
At this moment, Black Leg Sanji suddenly shouted, “Zorro, careful of your east!”
“???”
Zorro was stunned as he turned his head towards the east. What he saw was that Wang Yu’s long pole was already on the brink of striking the back of Zorro’s head.
After Zorro was struck, he quickly tossed his blades towards Ling Longmeng and Yang Nuo.
Given how witty the two ladies were, they quickly released Black Leg Sanji’s legs and sidestepped. Zorro’s long blade fell accurately through the chest of Black Leg Sanji.
Friendly-fire was merely a protection applicable to players and not within the settings of monsters.
Black Leg Sanji was already on the brink of death so there was no way he could survive this.
“Pfft!”
After a sharp cry, Black Leg Sanji’s body turned into a red light and entered Zorro’s chest. Following which, a dark red flaming protection rose around Zorro.
At the same time, the Quan Zhen Sect received a notification: Zorro’s [Sacred Sword Imprint] had reached 20 layers! [Body of Asura] activated!!
“[Body of Asura]?” Looking at the system notification, everyone exchanged glances with each other, “Could this be the legendary ultimate mode?”
Just when everyone was curious, the protection around Zorro broke as a monster covered with black flames walked out from it.
This monster had three heads, six limbs and was incredibly tall and bulky. With a katana on each hand, everyone could feel his immense aura of ruthlessness from even a distance away.
Asura. Zorro (LV 80) (Obsidian) (Ancient)
HP: 5000000
MP: 500000
SKill: [True. Flurry Dragon Tornado], [True. Three Thousand Purgatory], [True. Ceaseless Pain Attack]
Talent: Sword Devil
Background description: A man returning from hell who had attained the body of Asura. Slaughtering is his most primitive desire.
State: Body of Asura, the activation of the [Sacred Sword Imprint]. Countdown: 300 seconds.
…
“F*ck!!!”
Right now, Zorro was a Level 80 BOSS which meant that Wang Yu was the only one who could see his attributes. However, it wasn’t hard to tell that this fella was not one to be messed with after seeing how he transformed after killing Black Leg Sanji.
After Wang Yu sent the new attributes into the guild chat, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
While his HP was significantly depleted, this fella’s grade increased by 20 levels.
Level 80 was the pinnacle for all players at this stage of the game and improving one more step was the breakthrough beyond ordinary humans. NPCs of this level were all tyrannical existences.
One must know that <<REBIRTH>> had different settings depending on the background story. There were weaker and stronger Level 80 Ancient BOSS.
The current Zorro, with the exception of his HP, was much stronger than Wylie or Esther from the Knights of the Round Table.
After all, even an expert like Esther who was about to breakthrough the pinnacle didn’t have surging energy capabilities like this.
Fearless muttered, “It seemed like we won’t get to see the rubber man anymore. This fella should be the final BOSS!”
…
“Roar!!”
Zorro’s state was time-limited so he was naturally not going to have a staring showdown with Wang Yu. After roaring out loud into the sky, his body flashed as all six of his blades started spinning towards the sky.
Following which, the blades in Zorro hands started flying towards the Quan Zhen Sect.
“Crotch Lord! Get up!”
After saying that, Fearless covered Crotch Lord with a [Holy Shield] as Crotch Lord lowered his head and raised his shield to block.
“Zzz…”
One could hear an ear-piercing sound and Zorro’s [Flurry Dragon Tornado] was blocked off by Crotch Lord. Crotch Lord, who was under the invincibility, was sent flying a few metres away. This exemplified the true strength of the BOSS>
Meanwhile, Wang Yu took the chance to jump right in front of Zorro and swung his pole upwards on his chin.
