Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God
Chapter 471: Long-Range Attack
From the moment Twenty pulled out The Method of Deduction Through the All-Seeing Eye, Lin Yu had believed that the usage Twenty initially displayed would absolutely not be its entirety.
Just from hearing the name Exclusive Item, one knows it's unique to each Player!
Unique also means tailor-made.
For a "smart person" like Twenty, he would naturally and logically develop different advanced usages for his Exclusive Item!
This was also something experts among the Player community generally did.
As for why Lin Yu was so sure Twenty would still hold back at the start...
Because that's what Twenty always did!
As a smart person, he seemed to have a certain compulsive and obsessive tendency, always pursuing the "most concise, most economical" solution to any situation or problem.
Just like when he fought Algae earlier—even after being severely injured, he still didn't use his Exclusive Item.
This was another manifestation of his arrogance.
Since Lin Yu initially appeared slightly "clumsy," Twenty would definitely continue to hold back.
Only when Lin Yu once again exceeded his expectations would he play his strongest trump card!
As for the content of this trump card, Lin Yu didn't know the specifics, but he had made a bold guess.
It was probably still related to "dreams," "Nightmares," or "Nightmare Substance."
Lin Yu could even be certain, with high probability, that it was "Nightmare Substance."
Earlier, before using The Method of Deduction Through the All-Seeing Eye, during the first two times when Twenty dodged his attacks in a somewhat awkward manner, he had used "Nightmare Substance" to pull his own body, achieving some anti-ergonomic movements.
This function overlapped with what the golden threads of The Method of Deduction Through the All-Seeing Eye were currently doing.
Two possibilities.
First, these were two items with similar effects, and Twenty was also accustomed to using items this way.
Second, the similar usage methods of these two items, one was developed based on the other.
But regardless of which, given that Twenty was a sufficiently "smart" person, when developing advanced item combination techniques and synergies, he would definitely consider the technique of "merging similarities"!
In other words, he could use a combination of The Method of Deduction Through the All-Seeing Eye and Nightmare Substance to enhance the upper limit of "body manipulation."
And if that was truly the case... Lin Yu speculated that the final effect would likely be a significant improvement in his movement and mobility efficiency!
Now, Lin Yu had guessed right.
"Added the ability to move vertically in the air?"
Lin Yu let out a breath, looking up at Twenty who was gazing down at him.
"The roles have reversed, Rakshasa!"
Twenty noticed Lin Yu locking his gaze on him, sensing the anger conveyed by Lin Yu's body language, appreciating the manic expression on Lin Yu's face, and spoke proudly.
Lin Yu raised the giant axe.
Although he was quite tall now, the raised giant axe still couldn't reach Twenty's feet.
Lin Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I'll knock you down!"
As his words fell, he hunched his body, sprinted forward two steps, then leaped high into the air!
"Boom!"
The sound of Lin Yu's jump was deafening as he raised the giant axe high and swung it at Twenty again!
Twenty merely rapidly pulled his figure even higher, avoiding Lin Yu's attack.
But he didn't pull too high.
Because Twenty was still counterattacking!
The black-and-gold interwoven Nightmare Substance around him condensed into sharp-tipped tentacles, stabbing towards Lin Yu in the air!
"Swish—"
The sharp points pierced into Lin Yu's "body"!
Although the Rakshasa's flesh was tough, these tentacles still penetrated deeply.
However...
Under this attack from Twenty, even a normal mammoth might have been turned into a skewer.
The fact that Lin Yu wasn't even pierced through was enough to show how terrifying his current physical strength was.
"Get lost!"
He could even tense all his muscles, squeezing out the Nightmare Substance that had pierced into his body along with several streams of blood!
It's just that this reckless aerial attack had indeed failed.
Lin Yu landed heavily on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Bastard!"
He roared.
The current situation looked very unfavorable for Lin Yu.
And it was getting worse!
The goat skull on the ground, covered in cracks earlier, had been scooped up from the ground by Twenty's long, intertwining black and gold Nightmare Substance that extended like a root-tentacle, and was now back in Twenty's hand.
"Is that all?"
Twenty looked down at Lin Yu, then spoke, "It seems it's time to finish you."
His black-and-gold Nightmare Substance covered the goat skull again, and the bones once more emitted "crack crack" shattering sounds.
Although the cracks increased, the skull entwined with the black-and-gold Nightmare Substance was forcibly ignited again in Twenty's hand.
"Cha—"
It let out a frenzied sound.
"Shut up!"
Twenty whispered, and the goat skull instantly fell silent.
Then, a crimson gas mass began to condense in front of the skull again.
Seeing this, Lin Yu simply dropped the giant axe.
"Ha..."
He wasn't giving up resistance, but was mobilizing all his focus...
Lin Yu's four hands clasped before his chest, and a similar crimson condensation was forming in front of him.
Only it wasn't a gas mass, but a liquid mass!
A thick, bloody scent spread out as blood gathered and surged before Lin Yu, as if roaring silently!
The blood stored in the Prayer Water Necklace was coalescing!
During these past few days, Lin Yu had been hunting prey. Besides collecting the necessary trophies to secure his own clearance, Lin Yu had also collected a large amount of blood and stored it!
Under the control of the Prayer Water Necklace, this blood was enough to become Lin Yu's means of long-range attack!
Although Lin Yu didn't know if a Rakshasa could manipulate blood...
But since no one else knew this either!
"Compared to blood control, I prefer close combat, but a fly like you that keeps dodging and hiding only deserves to choke on this blood!"
Lin Yu said coldly, opening all four hands together.
"Whoosh!"
The blood mass condensed to its extreme exploded, surging through the air towards Twenty, threatening to engulf him!
The rolling river of blood roared like a tidal bore, and within the flowing blood were still compressed, solidified, sharp blood blades as hard as steel knives mixed in!
It was like a surging, bloody ice run!
In the sky, the golden eye rotated, its golden light flashing repeatedly.
Clearly, Lin Yu's sudden display of this powerful long-range attack method had once again taken Twenty by surprise!
He had to prematurely detonate the gas mass in front of him to slow the arrival of the blood, then used the black-and-gold Nightmare Substance to form a sharp triangular barrier in front of him, attempting to block the impact of this bloody deluge.
"Boom!"
The two collided, the blood instantly split apart, and the blood blades within continuously crashed against the barrier.
A miraculous scene akin to Moses parting the Red Sea was reenacted above the Glory Festival!
In the distance, Fern looked up at the exaggerated scene and couldn't help but sigh.
"Good thing I ran fast."
