Chapter 285: Chapter 194: The BOSS is Actually Me! (Three-in-one, 5/5)_2
Chen Mo could truly effortlessly kill a second-transition, full-level, full-star expert.
If the map shared by the blue-skinned Alien could be fake, The Heavenly Path’s Hint certainly couldn’t be.
As they saw with their own eyes the Alien from the Zhou Yuan Star System get killed by Chen Mo, they also received The Heavenly Path’s Hint in real time.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Zhou Yuan Star System Contestant Origin Light—Level 60 (second-transition profession, 15th-star profession ’Unrivaled Slash Master’)—is dead! Remaining contestants in the current instance: 48.]
This was the same person they had just seen meet Chen Mo.
So, even those who had just joined—initially suspicious and fearing the group might collectively deceive them, doubting the authenticity of the shared coordinates—now had no doubts at all.
As for those who had joined earlier, having accurately located others by following the blue-skinned Alien, they naturally harbored no doubts about the authenticity of the shared coordinates.
Finally witnessing Chen Mo effortlessly dispatching opponents of a higher tier—akin to slaughtering chickens—they were all immensely grateful for their decision. It was indeed necessary to unite against such an unpredictable character.
From this, it could also be confirmed that the team’s organizer hadn’t lied previously.
He truly had been watching this person from the Solar System fight all this time.
While they continued to seek more collaborators to ensure Chen Mo’s demise, a few other contestants began to kill each other.
Half an hour later, only thirty people remained in the instance.
The time finally reached the tenth hour.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Ten hours have passed in the instance; two hours remain. It is now an exact hour mark, and everyone’s coordinates will soon be exposed. Please prepare. This coordinate exposure will last for 3 minutes!
Supplies in all areas of the instance have stopped refreshing!
Please use any special instance items you possess as soon as possible. When the final hour arrives, all items in your possession will become invalid.]
Oh? All invalid?
Upon seeing this hint, Chen Mo’s eyes lit up instantly. Then that annoying rule restricting Teleportation would also become invalid! After all, that was set up by someone using special items. According to The Heavenly Path’s Hint, in the final hour, all special items would lose their effectiveness. That restriction on Teleportation should be included as well, right? Chen Mo mused.
Divine Flicker was a powerful mobility tool for him, and its restriction was intensely bothersome.
If not for that, why would he have waited so long? He likely would have cleared out everyone in the instance by now.
As the coordinates remained exposed, Chen Mo glanced at the ten people gathered together.
He still hadn’t figured out why these ten people had suddenly grouped up.
After all, he couldn’t imagine they would be so afraid of him, a mere Level 20 zeroth-transition.
He continued towards his next target.
Since Chen Mo could see the ten of them together, he didn’t want to approach and invite trouble.
Each person could bind up to five treasures from within the instance. If they all possessed something like the Extreme Cold Pearl and hit him with a combined 50 seconds of crowd control, he would truly be finished. It would be better to wait until the final hour when all items became invalid. Anyway, he could only bind two more items himself now, and he hadn’t found anything useful enough to bind.
So, Chen Mo wasn’t particularly concerned about the items becoming invalid.
The worst that could happen was his opponents gaining Immortal Ability and resurrection abilities. But at least he had the Ring of Death. Those he slew couldn’t be resurrected by others; even if all ten of them joined forces, they couldn’t resurrect anyone who lacked their own resurrection ability. At most, they could only resurrect themselves. Not a major problem.
While the ten-person alliance felt their numbers were still insufficient and continued searching for more people, Chen Mo kept his distance from the peculiar group of ten and resumed hunting others.
About ten minutes later, Chen Mo killed two more contestants.
One of them was quite troublesome; Chen Mo had to fight him for nearly six or seven minutes.
This guy was incredible. His Immortal Ability perfectly circumvented the effects of the Death Light Compass.
He had many substitutes; every time he died, a substitute would take his place in death.
Thus, even the Death Light Compass was ineffective against him, because he didn’t possess Immortal Ability, but rather a Substitute Death Ability.
Chen Mo didn’t know how many substitutes this guy had prepared.
He felt as though he had killed the guy at least a hundred times before finally finishing him off.
The most absurd part was that every time a substitute died in his place and he reappeared, he would gain 3 seconds of invulnerability!
One hundred substitutes meant 300 seconds of invulnerability.
The invulnerability time alone amounted to 5 minutes. Factoring in the time Chen Mo spent repeatedly insta-killing him, he was delayed for a full six to seven minutes.
This was the first time Chen Mo had encountered such an outrageous enemy.
He had seen Immortal opponents before, but never one with this kind of immortality method.
Chen Mo didn’t know that he had just depleted the lifetime savings of substitutes the guy had accumulated.
Besides receiving one substitute officially each month, the guy had to spend the total experience points required for his current Level-up to obtain one. After acquiring one this way, obtaining another required double that total experience, and a subsequent one required triple.
The guy had painstakingly saved up around a hundred or so substitutes. He had used a few dozen dealing with others, leaving him with about a hundred, all of which were now expended by Chen Mo.
