24: Chapter 24 If you won't come over, then I'll go to you myself!
Lin Mo observed their fearful, hesitant appearance and conceived a wicked idea.
"The target has stood up."
"Does he want to run?"
Black Crow reported urgently over the communication channel.
"No, he is moving towards us."
"Not taking the chance to run, but walking towards us instead? Interesting."
Xiao Yi sneered.
"He doesn't think he's invincible just because he has a damage reduction item, does he? The gap in levels is more insurmountable than he imagines."
Suddenly, his body went numb, and a white true damage number of -150 floated above his head.
No!
Realizing something, Xiao Yi felt a chill run through him and hurriedly roared:
"Everyone, get away from Lin Mo immediately!"
Suddenly, the red swarm of insects jerked at an oblique angle.
Lin Mo's position changed rapidly.
The massive swarm of enraged Magic Needle Bees was attracted by him and shifted along with him.
A red toxic fog storm, thirty meters in diameter, pushed horizontally across the swamp.
"The target is moving! He's coming for me!"
Black Crow shrieked, his voice cracking.
Xiao Yi's expression changed drastically:
"Use the Slow Scroll! Increase the distance!"
Black Crow didn't dare to hesitate; he pulled a blue scroll from his waist and ripped it apart violently.
The muddy water on the swamp surface froze instantly, and a large area of frost spread along the ground towards Lin Mo, forming an absolute zero deceleration zone.
Lin Mo's speed dropped quickly.
Black Crow breathed a sigh of relief:
"Don't worry, Captain. His speed wasn't fast to begin with, and now that he's hit by the Slow Scroll, it's impossible for him to catch up to us."
Seeing this, Xiao Yi also relaxed his vigilance.
He secretly thought he had been too nervous.
The guy on the other side had only awakened on the first day; compared to them, who were level 90, his speed was like a turtle crawling!
There was no way he could pose any threat.
Lin Mo also put on an appearance of struggling to catch up, as if he had used up all his strength.
This performance appeared particularly clownish in the eyes of these level 90 professionals.
"Hahahaha! This kid is too stupid!"
Black Crow couldn't help but laugh loudly over the communicator, not caring in the slightest that Lin Mo was getting closer and closer to him.
Anyway, no matter what, he would quickly escape before Lin Mo could get close to him.
But Lin Mo didn't care about their contemptuous attitude at all.
When he was nearly 50 meters away from Black Crow, he started attacking the surrounding Magic Needle Bees!
[Berserk Advanced Effect · Advent of the Berserk God: During the duration of Berserk, each attack stacks 5% attack speed, up to a maximum of 20 stacks (totaling 100% attack speed). After reaching 20 stacks, enter the Berserk Intent state: All Attributes × 3, lasting until Berserk ends.]
1 stack... 2 stacks... 3 stacks...
As long as he stacked attack speed to 20, he would have the effect of 3 times all attributes.
Plus the level 353 Berserk (which just leveled up 3 times) increasing speed by nearly 300%, his speed would instantly receive a boost of over 10 times!!
19 stacks... 20 stacks...
Lin Mo suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at Black Crow as if he were looking at a dead man.
Black Crow's breath suddenly hitched, and he was instantly terrified!!
Because Lin Mo's speed suddenly accelerated to a point where it was difficult for the naked eye to capture.
"How is that possible!!!"
"He's clearly still under the effect of the Slow Scroll??"
Everyone was shocked!
A subtle arc curled at the corner of Lin Mo's mouth.
Slow Scroll, is it?
Go tell that to my 200% Tenacity!!
His figure suddenly blurred in place.
This wasn't invisibility; it was a visual afterimage caused by pure, extreme speed.
The buff from Berserk allowed his speed to instantly skyrocket by over 10 times!
A distance of fifty meters could be covered in the blink of an eye!
Wind pressure hit his face.
Black Crow suddenly raised his head.
That dark red toxic bee storm, thirty meters in diameter, was already pressing down on his head.
And directly in his line of sight, the teenager who should have been crawling like a turtle in the distance was standing quietly less than half a step away from him.
Lin Mo didn't look at Black Crow's mask-covered face; his gaze fell only on his right hand:
"Laugh, why aren't you laughing anymore?"
"You—!"
Black Crow's heart tightened violently, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
He didn't retreat.
Decades of combat experience took over his body at this moment.
Stepping back, twisting his waist, infusing Shadow Power.
The dark blue dagger hidden in Black Crow's sleeve was like a viper flicking its tongue, stabbing precisely and accurately at Lin Mo's heart!
This strike, imbued with powerful Shadow Power, was enough to shred the heart of a First-Turn Warrior!
"Die!"
Black Crow roared, attempting to mask the fear before death descended.
"Screech—"
There was no dull thud of a blade cutting into flesh.
A harsh sound of metal grating exploded over the swamp, and dazzling sparks splashed in all directions!
Black Crow felt that his hand holding the dagger hadn't stabbed into a body of flesh and blood, but had collided with an immovable mountain!
Parry!
The dark blue dagger collided with the sturdy axe handle, unable to advance an inch!
Over 100% damage reduction, plus a massive 109.5% true damage reflection!
The tip of the dark blue dagger instantly curled and shattered!
The next second, a violent, rebounding force, even more terrifying than his own attack power, flooded back along the broken blade like a tidal wave!
A humorous grey number floated above Lin Mo's head:
-0
And Black Crow's right arm instantly emitted a series of dense bone-cracking sounds.
From wrist to elbow, then to shoulder, the bones shattered inch by inch!
The bone fragments pierced through his tight combat suit, gushing out mixed with sticky blood.
-36590!
A white true damage number appeared above Black Crow's head.
"Ah—! My hand!"
Black Crow's features twisted, and he let out a horrific scream, his entire body lifted off the ground by the massive rebounding force.
But this wasn't the end.
The thirty-meter diameter red storm, because of Lin Mo's pause, completely covered this area.
Tens of thousands of Death-Dealing Magic Needle Bees in a berserk state instantly discovered a new target that had entered the eye of the storm.
"Buzz buzz buzz—!"
Hundreds and thousands of toxic bees with scarlet eyes, as if they had seen an exquisite delicacy, crashed onto Black Crow like a mass of flowing black-purple asphalt.
True damage and neurotoxins stacked.
Attacks that were ineffective against Lin Mo, when landing on Black Crow, a conventional level 90 assassin, were a horrific slow execution!
"Captain! Save me! Use a scroll... Ah!"
Black Crow rolled frantically in the muddy water, trying to use Shadow Power to disperse the swarm.
But it was useless.
The poisonous stingers pierced through his armor, and the neurotoxins paralyzed his motor nerves in a fraction of a second.
He struggled for less than three seconds.
His screams came to an abrupt end.
The mass of pitch-black asphalt dispersed and flew back to Lin Mo's side, continuing to bite and sting.
And in place, only a skeleton remained, half-melted by the corrosive toxins, with even the mask gnawed down to half a remnant.
The remaining 11 people were all terrified!
In the communication channel, there was only the crackling sound of static.
"Cap... Captain..."
A death soldier's hand holding a longbow was trembling, and the bowstring made a faint creaking sound,
"Black Crow... is dead?"
A level 90 peak First-Turn assassin had just been killed by a newcomer who had just awakened his class.
Without even causing a ripple.
A death soldier holding a staff turned around to run.
"Stop!"
Xiao Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared sternly, his voice transmitting through the communicator to everyone's eardrums:
"Whoever dares to retreat! Have you forgotten The Consortium's methods?"
The mage who was preparing to flee stiffened abruptly.
That's right!
Death soldiers raised by The Consortium never owned their own lives.
They had no way out.
Lin Mo bent down, pinched the space ring dropped by Black Crow with two fingers in disgust, and casually threw it into his pocket.
Then, he turned around, and through the berserk swarm, looked calmly at the eleven dark figures a hundred meters away.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Mo patted a few dead bees off his shoulder,
"If you won't come over, then I'll come over myself."
