Chapter 104 -104-Lv40!

Chapter 104: Chapter104-Lv40!

Grey’s speed was astonishing.

But against a movement skill that directly crossed through space.

He was always just one step short.

Not to mention.

The sky full of Void Spears was still raining down nonstop!

In just a short time.

The teleportation array plaza that had once been packed with Dark Race members was already more than half empty.

The ordinary soldiers were almost completely wiped out.

Corpses and dropped items covered the ground everywhere.

As the number of ordinary mobs available to lock onto continued to decrease.

The newly generated Void Spears began falling more and more frequently toward the few high-level targets remaining on the battlefield.

The Night King.

Grey.

And Rosaline, who had just flown back into the plaza.

Masses of black-and-gold spears changed direction.

Then descended densely toward the three of them.

Rosaline had only just steadied herself.

When she looked up and saw the scene.

Even the corner of her eye couldn’t help twitching.

"Just how many strange things did you stuff into that weapon, little guy?"

She raised her staff.

Just as she was about to attack.

John had already turned to look at her.

Their eyes met.

John smiled at her.

Very politely.

Yet for some reason, a chill ran through Rosaline’s heart.

"Wait..."

BOOM!

The ground suddenly split apart!

Large numbers of lightning-wreathed chains erupted from beneath her feet.

Instantly binding all four of her limbs!

[Thunder Prison Chains!]

[Double Bind triggered!]

[Chains of Silence triggered!]

[Target has been Bound!]

[Target has been Silenced!]

Rosaline lowered her head and glanced at the chains wrapped around her body.

Then raised her head to look at John again.

"..."

The Void Staff in John’s hand was already aimed directly at her.

"Sorry."

"You’ll do."

Rosaline fell silent for a moment.

Then let out a soft sigh.

"You really don’t show any mercy..."

WHOOSH—!!!

A Void Spear pierced straight through her chest!

Immediately afterward.

Cleave erupted violently!

[-1,910,700!]

A black-and-gold shockwave instantly swallowed Rosaline.

Her HP bar, which had never recovered to its peak state in the first place, was emptied on the spot.

Even John froze for a moment.

She actually died?

The next second.

System notifications began exploding across his vision!

[You have killed Lv100 Citybreaker Tier BOSS — Thorn Witch · Rosaline!]

[You have obtained a massive amount of EXP!]

[You have obtained Gold Coins...]

[You have obtained...]

A dazzling golden light rose from John’s body!

[Ding!]

[Your level has increased to Lv40!]

[Free Attribute Points +5!]

[Unique Divine-rank Talent "Supreme Evolution" triggered!]

[Every-Ten-Levels Special Reward triggered!]

[You have obtained a Divine-rank Trait — ???]

[You have obtained SSS-rank Weapon Fusion Stone ×1!]

At the same time.

A large amount of high-grade loot appeared where Rosaline had died.

And the most eye-catching item among them.

Was none other than the black-and-red grimoire John had only just returned to her.

[You have obtained Special Equipment — Thorn Grimoire!]

John’s eyes lit up.

The grimoire was back again?

What was this supposed to be?

He stole it from the Night City Treasury.

Handed it to Rosaline.

Then killed Rosaline and got it back as a drop?

So after going around in one big circle.

It still ended up belonging to him?

More importantly.

The Divine-rank Trait he had obtained at Lv40!

John was just about to check it.

When an unprecedented sense of danger suddenly descended from above!

The light around him abruptly dimmed.

It wasn’t nightfall.

Nor was it storm clouds.

Something.

Was blocking out the sky.

John snapped his head upward.

His pupils contracted sharply!

The Night King Projection had already raised its right hand.

Endless black-and-red energy was gathering madly around its palm.

The hand, originally formed entirely from magic, rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, it covered a vast portion of the sky.

Its shadow completely engulfed the entire teleportation array plaza.

Looking up from the ground.

It was no longer even possible to see the full edges of the palm.

Only clearly defined palm lines stretched across the sky, like enormous ravines carved deep into the earth.

A terrifying pressure crashed down!

Every hair on John’s body stood on end.

Not good!

The Night King’s icy voice descended from high above.

"Human."

"Die."

BOOM—!!!

The colossal blood-red palm that blotted out the sky came crashing down!

The entire space seemed to be crushed apart beneath that single strike.

The next instant.

A deafening explosion shook all of Night City!

RUMBLE—!!!

The ground heaved violently.

Large numbers of buildings collapsed under the shockwave.

Even the city walls visibly shook.

And at the center of the teleportation array plaza.

The earth itself was forcibly pressed downward.

An enormous palm print covering the entire area sank deep into the ground.

Countless cracks spread wildly outward from its edges.

Rock strata tore apart.

Shattered stone blasted into the sky.

Rolling clouds of dust mixed with black-and-red magic swept in every direction.

In the blink of an eye.

They completely swallowed the spot where John had been standing.

Dense clouds of dust engulfed the entire teleportation array plaza.

The Night King hovered high in the air.

Looking down at the enormous palm print below.

The anger on his face gradually faded.

Replaced by a cold sneer.

"Human."

"Nothing more than this."

He hadn’t held back at all with that strike.

Forget that human who was only Lv40.

Even if Grey and Thorn at her peak had stood there together, there was no way they could have taken that attack head-on.

Much less now.

Thorn was no longer what she once was.

It was over.

The Night King slowly raised his hand.

The black-and-red energy covering the plaza dispersed with it.

But the next second.

His smile suddenly froze.

At the center of the enormous palm print.

A faint green light was beginning to glow.

Shattered flesh gathered back together.

Bones regrew.

The body repaired itself.

Within only a few breaths.

The figure that should have been completely crushed into pulp actually stood up again!

John shook his head.

Then looked down at his fully restored body.

[You have died!]

["Fountain of Life" state triggered!]

[You have revived on the spot!]

[No EXP will be lost from this death!]

[Fountain of Life Remaining Duration: 02:51!]

"That really hurt..."

John grimaced.

Just before the enormous palm came down.

He had only had time to do one thing.

Pour the [Droplet of the Fountain of Life] into his mouth.

As it turned out.

He had made the right choice.

The crimson light in the Night King’s eyes suddenly flared.

"You didn’t die?"

The next second.

He raised a hand and pointed at John.

A stream of black-and-red bloodfire instantly crossed several hundred meters!

BOOM!

John didn’t even have time to shift away.

His body had already been completely swallowed by the bloodfire.

Skin.

Flesh.

Bone.

Almost the instant they touched the flames, they were reduced to ash.

[You have died!]

The Night King’s expression remained cold.

But before the flames had even fully dispersed.

Pale green light of life rose from the ashes once again.

John’s body reformed.

["Fountain of Life" triggered!]

[You have revived on the spot!]
