The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

After the opening remarks, the host took a moment to repeat the rules of the game that had been slightly revised. Then he waved his finger to the big screen and said very excitedly:

"We're going to randomly select an organization among all the players participating in this battle, and then the representative of that organization will use half an hour to create an imaginary enemy for this level with the assistance of the staff. Then, Which organization is so lucky, and what kind of imaginary enemy it will bring us! Let the wheels spin!"

After the host's voice fell, the big screen that was originally playing the Minos promotional PV changed its screen, and a bunch of organization logos appeared, including the logo of Rhodes Island.

Afterwards, these signs formed a circle and began to rotate rapidly. For a while, only afterimages left by the signs could be seen, and after two seconds, there was no need for the host or the audience to stop, and the big screen The sign on the screen stopped abruptly in an instant, and at this time it was at the top, and the sign pointed by the pointer was a pattern resembling a cherry blossom.

After seeing the result, the host quickly flipped through the entry form in his hand, found the organization represented by the pattern, and said:

"The result is clear. First of all, let's congratulate the participating organization 'Ghostman Group' for winning the special imaginary enemy projection rights for this competition!"

"yeah--!!"

When the host finished reading, there was a sudden burst of cheers in the arena. Everyone turned their heads and saw a group of armor dressed in the Eastern style. Most of the members were ghosts with one or two horns on their heads. , was cheering happily. Obviously, the 'ghost group' that the host was talking about was them.

In response to their cheers, although the other people were nothing on the surface, they were secretly vigilant in their hearts, and their eyes were carefully scrutinizing the characteristics of this group of people. With their special armor and the race of ghosts, there was no doubt that they were from the Eastern Kingdom.

After confirming the place of origin, it is easy to find references, as long as you can learn from the current advanced combat power in the Eastern Kingdom.

And speaking of the high-level combat power of the Eastern Kingdom, it is the "Hyakki Night Walk" formed by the shogunate. This army is of the same level as the "Emperor's Blade", representing the peak combat strength of the Eastern Kingdom. Due to the secrecy of troops such as the "Emperor's Blade", the popularity of "Hundred Ghosts of the Night" in Terra is not low.

The reason why they are slightly famous in Terra is not only because they belong to the national-level troops, but also because of their discriminatory recruitment conditions, which have been criticized to the extent that Ursus discriminates against infected people.

'Hundred Ghosts of the Night' recruits people, and they are innately stuck with the ethnicity of the Eastern Kingdom. The first condition is to only recruit people who belong to the faction of monsters in the history of the Eastern Kingdom or races related to them, such as crows, civet cats, and foxes. Wait.

From this point alone, a considerable number of people were eliminated. At the same time, because of this condition, many people in the Eastern Kingdom opposed it, and there were even conflicts over it. But even so, the shogunate But Bian was still unmoved, he didn't know what those big shots were thinking.

After excluding races, there is an assessment. However, due to the strict confidentiality of the Dongguo shogunate, the specific assessment content has not been disclosed so far. is the best.

Therefore, the current contestants on the field have already prepared what they think is the worst, and that is one of the members of this "ghost group". manifested on the projection.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help becoming vigilant. Although the probability is not high, who can say for sure about this situation, so after seeing the representative of the 'ghost group' leave with the staff, all the contestants started Get busy.

"Hurry up, change to more powerful ammunition, you must ensure that there is enough ammunition!"

"Wake up Tok! He must be put on the field!"

"All the warlocks will replace me with an origin stone circuit! It may be a tough battle!"

………………

Seeing the contestants who started various mobilizations almost instantly, Phoenix couldn't help but glanced at the doctor who was still looking at a room, and asked:

"Do you need me to do it? It feels like those people are so nervous to death."

"No, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Don't worry, I'll go out first, and you can sleep on your own."

After saying this, the doctor put his hands in his pockets and walked out slowly, while Phoenix took the pillow on the sofa casually, lying on the sofa a little bored, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

[Host, this is a good opportunity to observe advanced combat power in other places, are you sure you don't want to take a look? 】

"Wow... the system, you are still there, you startled me."

[Excessive (>д<)!You really are intoxicated with gentleness, you have forgotten about me and Li!Anyway, we are also your golden fingers, I want to apply for an appeal, and I want you to spend more time with us! 】

"Ah, it seems that the projection is coming out, go and have a look."

[Host, you idiot!Badass!Big fool! (≧Д≦) 】

Ignoring the poor system sauce's condemnation, Phoenix put the pillow aside, and walked to the window with his big tail in his arms.

But before he had time to look at the arena, he saw the billboard on the edge of the arena. On it, he could see a very mature-looking Meifeng hoof, wearing a hip-length sweater that seemed to be of good quality. It was promoting the brand of clothing, but after watching it for a while, Phoenix suddenly realized it and said:

"Speaking of which, I haven't tried this kind of sweater yet, so it should be good... No, what am I doing?"

After silently choosing a sweater for his clothes for the next season, Phoenix quickly turned his attention to the arena and began to observe carefully.

At this time, all the contestants of this round have come to their respective arenas, and the host is standing on his high platform as usual, with a slightly serious expression on his face. Afterwards, he only heard him say:

"Dear contestants, the production of the projection of the ghost group has been completed. This time I may remind you that what you will face next may be a very powerful imaginary enemy. It will take eight hours in total. Please be sure to do it." Get ready, then, ask the staff to start projecting."

After the host finished speaking, a brand new enemy began to be launched on everyone's field.

The doctor who just rushed to the arena also looked at the sky in his area, and saw a burst of ominous-looking black gas suddenly appearing, forming a vortex, and then a tall figure appeared from the vortex Walk out slowly.

When the person walked out of the vortex completely, he did not fall due to gravity, but floated in the air. Then, a pair of huge wings with black feathers spread out from behind the person, covering a large area of ​​sunlight. , the black vortex dissipated, and the true face of the imaginary enemy also appeared in front of everyone.

Male, with a height of nearly three meters, with long white hair, Dongguo's costume with some armor, a samurai sword that is not particularly long on his waist, and a mask that can cover his face Half of the face is a tengu mask, but even the upper half of the face can be seen to be handsome.

The wings on his back fluttered slowly, allowing him to stay in the air continuously. From time to time, some black feathers that seemed to have no entity would fall down. The whole person did not move, but he felt full of oppression.

After the projection of this person appeared on the field of each contestant, everyone could feel the invisible pressure. There is no doubt that this projected person is definitely not an ordinary person, maybe it is the top of the Eastern Kingdom. One of a group of combat forces.

And when everyone was guessing the real identity of this imaginary enemy, the commanders of all participating organizations received a message, and the imaginary enemy information that was almost the same as the content of the message also appeared on the big screen. It is the first few characters:

"Hyakki Yaxing belongs to, the leader of Feiyu's troop - Yatengu Mingyu."

When seeing this line of words, almost all well-informed people's expressions became serious. The Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is divided into multiple troops, and this Mingyu can be the leader of a troop, there is no doubt , is definitely a general-level combat power.

At the same time, his race has also made many people feel pressure. The mythical race of the Eastern Kingdom—the Yatengu, a proper longevity species, God knows how many years of combat experience he has, not to mention the unknown talent of the mythical race.

It is undeniable that this "ghost group" really gave everyone a big surprise in the first level. Not only did they project a Hyakki Nightwalker, but they were also a leader. Phoenix is ​​gone.

For a while, many participating organizations with not very strong combat effectiveness retreated one after another. This is not something they can compete with at this level, while the commanders of seeded players such as Doctor and Catherine quickly browsed the information After that, Unity got a same answer:

"Can hit."

Although there is information about this imaginary enemy, the specific description is vague. Obviously, this is because the projection maker is not familiar with the relationship between the projected objects, so the intelligence display is so bumpy.

And such an incomplete projection means that General Ming Yu, who is in command of the Dongguo Feiyu troops, has a high probability that he will not even be able to exert one-fifth of his original strength. As long as they are careful and steady, this wave can completely fight. !

For a moment, the entire arena seemed a bit noisy. Those who abstained went to the referee to abstain, while those who wanted to challenge stayed in the arena and began to discuss with their subordinates how to deal with the enemy.

However, at this moment, it was shown on the big screen that a contestant had started the challenge, because there was only one challenger at the moment, so the broadcast on the big screen was naturally switched over, and afterward, everyone saw how quickly they chose to challenge The participating organization is the 'ghost group' that projected Nether Feather.

"Damn, is it true or not? Do they know the weakness of this Nether Feather?"

"Let's take a look, I hope I can find some ideas."

Seeing that someone took the initiative to challenge, and it was the projector who was playing in person, all the contestants who were still trying to discuss the plan or abstained stopped their actions and began to silently watch the broadcast on the big screen, wondering if they could find a breaking point.

However, to everyone's surprise, after starting the challenge, the members of the 'ghost group' didn't have any tactics or actions at all. They just lined up silently, with the captain at the head, and slowly approached. The underworld feather flying in the air.

Probably because of the fact that the strength of the imaginary enemy this time was slightly beyond the standard, there were no extra miscellaneous soldiers in the arena this time, and the enemy was only Mingyu, which also facilitated the actions of the 'ghost group'. Walking at a steady pace, at the speed that others saw and wanted to hit, gradually approaching, slowly approaching, not in a hurry at all.

After more than 20 seconds, everyone in the 'ghost group' came to a certain distance, and finally came to the security unit that projected Mingyu. Mingyu opened his eyes directly, revealing scarlet pupils, and the long hair pinned to his waist. The knife was also unsheathed, and the sense of oppression almost doubled.

After seeing Ming Yu like this, the captain of the 'ghost group' was not afraid, but looked at Ming Yu with a somewhat adoring expression, and said softly:

"Long time no see, Master Ming Yu, although this is just your projection, please allow me to pay you respects."

The captain's voice was so low that no one could hear it except himself. In the eyes of others, he probably just prayed and memorized a few words. Then he stepped forward alone, put on the ghost mask and helmet that matched his armor, and bowed. With a bow, he drew out the long knife at his waist and set his posture.

Seeing this, both Black Horn and Yato showed a look of nostalgia, and they couldn't help talking in a low voice:

"It's really been a long time since I saw you, this kind of duel with Eastern characteristics."

"Well, I really miss it. Except for Dongguo, this kind of Bushido duel is basically invisible in other places. It can only be said that the audience is too small."

"I haven't seen you follow Bushido when you use a sword?"

"Nonsense, I'm an operator, not a samurai."

........................

When Black Horn and Ye Dao were fighting each other, on the big screen, the captain had already launched an attack on Ming Yu. He retracted the knife he had just drawn back into the scabbard, bowed slightly, and slowed down his breathing, obviously It's accumulating energy.

And after the captain posed in this posture, Mingyu seemed to resonate, his wings curled up, and he landed on the ground, and then put his knife into its sheath, and started to charge his energy.

The duel with Dongguo characteristics, drawing swords and slashing against each other, this kind of duel often tests the reaction, speed and strength of both sides. I want to prove my determination in this way.

Chapter 610 Three Dimensional Slash

The two sides retracted their knives into their sheaths one after the other, and assumed the same power-storing posture. After that, the two people seemed to be completely frozen, maintaining their power-storing movements, and stood motionless. They still had some breathing range, and the audience wondered if they were dummies.

After seeing this scene, Phoenix twitched his mouth and shook his ears. He couldn't comment on this duel. enemy.

However, looking for a loophole to control the enemy with one move is based on the fact that the combat power of the two sides is basically the same, and the gap is not very big. But what is the situation now, one side is an unknown junior, and the other side is Dongguo who has lived for an unknown amount of time. The big demon crow, Tengu, no matter how you look at it, this is not a level that can even out the gap by drawing a sword!

Or do these members of the 'ghost group' actually never think about winning this battle at all, but just want to project idols to fight him to the point where they can understand the difference?

On the field, Phoenix wasn't the only one who thought of this, but all the commanders who thought about it thought of this possibility. However, this possibility also made some people feel a little anxious and angry.

After all, no matter how you look at it, it's too outrageous. In the consideration of normal contestants, if you get your own team, the first choice must be an imaginary enemy that only your own people know their weaknesses. Strong, but not too strong. This can not only guarantee the speed of customs clearance on one's own side, but also delay the speed of others. Generally speaking, there are hundreds of benefits and no harm.

But the 'ghost group' just made such a showy operation, the whole thing is too strong, you can't beat it, and we can't beat it either, so it's just stuck here, just playing.

To be honest, there are quite a few irritable people who can't help but want to find trouble with the 'ghost group'. There is no suitable reason for the trouble, which is aggravating.

And just when everyone was discussing, the picture on the big screen finally changed a little, probably because he was wearing armor and maintained a movement for too long, his body was sore, the captain's left hand holding the scabbard was very strong. I moved a little in a small range, probably to relieve the fatigue of my fingers.

However, the second he moved, Ming Yu, who was opposite him, instantly caught this flaw that was not a flaw at all. A bunch of people watching the big screen hadn't realized what happened, but Ming Yu directly pulled out the saber, and the black saber light flashed in an instant. When everyone came back to their senses, Ming Yu had already come behind the captain, and the saber in his hand was slowly moving.

Seeing this scene, everyone also understood that Mingyu had won, and sheathed the sword in the duel, either admitting defeat or winning. No matter how you looked at it, Mingyu didn't look like the former complacent, so the result was very happy. I understand.

"Ding……"

When Ming Yu's knife was completely put into the scabbard, there was a soft sound, and a blood mist burst out from the captain's side, and there was a scar on his body that cut half of his body horizontally. , This was caused by Nether Feather. Although it was only a projection simulation, this kind of real injury reaction did make some people jump.

After one blow, on the other side of the arena of the 'ghost group', the avatar of the captain of the contestants directly dimmed, and a countdown appeared on it, which meant that before the end of the countdown, he was still recovering from his injuries and could not play again.

Seeing this scene, the captain was stunned for a moment, and then let out a self-deprecating laugh, then hung up the knife he had pulled out for only a few seconds, and retreated to the outside of the field while talking to his teammates. said:

"Come on, try to hurt Master Ming Yu, I am optimistic about you."

"Understood Captain!"

Although the projection behavior of the "ghost group" does not leave any retreat, most people on the field think that this group of people is a stunned young man, but it has to be said that their spirit of bravely facing a strong enemy now does make some people With admiration.

However, when their challenges were presented on the big screen one by one, everyone in the arena had the same thought in their hearts:

'Tired, quickly let them destroy it. '

Everyone in the 'ghost group', really everyone, the way they challenge Mingyu is to fight each other, and the outcome is determined in one round, although this does look very pretentious, very feel, inexplicable There is a sense of glory despite defeat.

But in other people's eyes, their behavior is completely comparable to the gourd baby's stupid behavior of saving grandpa, and they are not even considered as cannon fodder vanguards.

After all, the cannon fodder can rely on the number of people to deceive some of their field-clearing skills for your reference. These few are good, not to mention trying to find out more information. They didn't even drag the captain back to life , One by one, they were sent back to the spring water in two seconds, which made people quite speechless.

"Let's go, it's useless, really, what kind of people are there?"

Seeing that the 'ghost group' failed in a round of challenges, the others immediately lost interest in continuing to watch. A small number of people chose to continue to abstain, while most of them stayed in their own arena. They seem to be discussing the plan silently, but they are actually thinking to see if there are some early birds who can help them test out the weakness of Mingyu.

In fact, the doctor also had this kind of thought. Thorough preparations and information can reduce unnecessary consumption. However, just as he was planning to implement this wait-and-see plan, the doctor saw Phoenix approaching him at some point, smiling. Yingying looked at him.

I don't know why, it's obvious that Phoenix is ​​laughing at such harmless humans and animals, but the doctor's heart is like this for no reason:
