Chapter 2148 The Devil of Time
The wisdom of the ancients is no joke. Tian Ji's horse racing tricks are really useful. To Cronus, the power of time mastered by Lin Jiu is like an inferior horse versus a superior horse.
Lin Jiu doesn't need the power of time he has to compete with Cronus' ability, but he only needs to use his power of time to interfere and affect Cronus' abilities, such as predicting errors in the future and going back in time. The effect is delayed by a second or two, which is enough.
After using the power of his own time as an "inferior horse" to interfere with Cronus' ability, Lin Jiu's own core abilities, swordsmanship + soul-based abilities, can cause effective output to Cronus.
When Cronus was about to use his time retrieval ability again, under the full interference of Lin Jiu's power of time, it would take at least two seconds to take effect. Just two seconds of time difference is enough.
Lan!
After activating the active skill of Konglan Boots, Lin Jiu kicked Cronus directly. A dull collision sound occurred, and the flesh and blood of Lin Jiu's legs wrapped in armor exploded. If it were not wrapped in armor, the bones could be seen in the flesh and blood.
Cronus was kicked in the chest with a deep dent, and most of his body was instantly numb. Even the feeling of flesh and blood collapsing was not transmitted to his brain. Lin Jiu still didn't use all his strength to kick after activating "Lan".
So far, he has only used this move at full power during the final battle at the end of the mission world and in the arena in the park. Otherwise, the full-force kick after turning on "Lan" will cause considerable damage to yourself, making it difficult to recover from the injury.
Judging from Lin Jiu's experience in kicking with all his strength, his leg bones did not become shattered, that is, he did not use his full strength. The current backlash damage, not to mention crushing, doesn't even cause bone fractures. I guess it's only about 50% of the force used.
Cronus's body flew out backwards, but Lin Jiu did not give it a chance to breathe. The space shuttle followed, and the figure appeared first on Cronus's flight path.
Lin Jiu held the hilt of the sword with both hands and slashed towards Cronus. The blade of the sword cut through the air and erupted with a sharp sound, like a bird song. The sound was not like the song of a mortal bird, but like the sound of nature. , which is both clear and melodious, and also contains some ancient spell.
An illusory bird creature appeared behind Lin Jiu, and the phantom disappeared into the sword. If you see the fleeting phantom of a bird, you will see that it is a creature that looks like something out of a myth.
It is huge yet agile. When its wings are spread out, they are astonishingly wide, as if they can cover half of the sky. The edges of the wings are inlaid with tiny crystal-like scales. The feathers on the body seem to be overflowing with light, flowing with the changes in light, sometimes as deep as the night sky, sometimes as gorgeous as the morning glow, and sometimes, as if they can catch the glimmer of stars, shining with a dazzling mysterious luster.
There is a pair of slender spiritual feathers on the forehead. As they sway gently, they seem to be able to guide the direction of the wind, and they seem to be able to discern the secrets of all things in the world. The eyes are like two bright gems, one is the deep blue of the night sky, and the other is the warm gold of the morning sun.
The tail shows a dreamlike gradient color, gradually transitioning from the deep blue at the root to the silvery white at the end, like the most brilliant comet in the night sky, piercing the silent sky.
Underfoot are cloud-like footprints made of shimmering light, as if they are auspicious. It is indeed true to say that it is auspicious, because this legendary bird creature is the Lord of the Night who symbolizes luck.
With a sword strike, Cronus' head was chopped off by Lin Jiu.
Cronus' body fell down and became motionless. Of course, what can kill Cronus is not the decapitation of his head. For most demons, decapitation of the head is definitely not a fatal injury. What really kills Cronus is Lin Jiu's opening of [Black Prince] ]'s killing ability.
When the fortune mark on Cronus reaches five levels and his health drops below 25%, kill him. It's not that Lin Jiu doesn't want to add a few more layers of fortune marks, but...
【Black Prince】
Equipment effect 3: Luck comes and goes (Core·Active), turns on the core ability state, every time you are attacked by an enemy, your own luck attribute will temporarily drop by one point, and the enemy will also drop by a point, and will be marked with a layer of "luck mark" .
Tip: When the "Fortune Mark" is superimposed to more than five layers, five layers of "Fortune Mark" can be consumed, permanently reducing the target's luck attribute by 1 point.
Tip: When the enemy's luck attribute temporarily returns to zero, all "luck marks" can be consumed to activate the killing effect. One layer of "luck mark" can kill 5% of the health value.
Tip: Turn on the "Luck of Time" effect, which consumes 10 points of durability.
…
The upper limit of health that can be killed is related to the opponent's luck attribute. The clone of Cronus's luck attribute is 5 points, so it can only be stacked up to five levels. I don't know if the lucky attributes of Cronus's body and his clone are the same. From the perspective of Cronus' clone principle, it should be the same.
[The Hunter has killed the time demon Cronus and the time clone. 】
[Hunter has obtained 30.5% of the source of the world, currently...]
[The hunter has obtained the Holy Spirit Level Treasure Box·The Demon of Time. 】
…
The rewards from killing Cronus' clone were more generous than Lin Jiu imagined. Not to mention the Holy Spirit level treasure chest with the suffix, the income from the source of the world alone is beyond expectations. But if you think about it carefully, the benefits of killing Kronos from the Source of the World are also very reasonable. After all, the benefits from the Source of the World are not only based on strength, but also related to the degree of impact on the world.
As a demon hiding in the dark and playing with the timeline, Kronos' influence on the entire Yimi Continent is naturally extraordinary. Even if it is a clone. If it is an ordinary clone, there will not be such a harvest, but the intelligence information detected clearly marks this clone as a key time node clone, and the impact is not small.
Lin Jiu speculated that if Kronos's body could be killed, the harvest of the source of the world would most likely be more than 50%. It is reasonable to suspect that Kronos, the time demon, is the second largest individual in the entire Yimi Continent besides the demon lord Roy. However, all of Kronos' operations are carried out on the timeline and are difficult to detect.
Similarly, the strength of Kronos's body that can cause such a great impact on the Yimi Continent is not something he can deal with alone. Just to kill Kronos's clone, not to mention all the trump cards, but also except for the inconvenient big moves, all efforts were made to kill it.
If you want to kill Kronos's body, at least all the members of the team must be gathered together. And there is a prerequisite, that is, Kronos must appear from the timeline.
At this time, in an extremely fantastic area, it seems to be in an infinitely extended corridor, and no matter how you move forward, you can't reach the end; sometimes you will suddenly appear in a completely unfamiliar scene, crossing the boundaries of time and space.
This area is like a flowing painting, and like a living light curtain. It is not fixed in a certain form, but constantly changes with the fluctuations of the surrounding environment and time and space. Sometimes, it is like a gorgeous rainbow, spanning the sky, colorful, and inspiring infinite reverie; sometimes, it turns into a deep black hole, swallowing all the light around it, leaving only a deep and mysterious black, which makes people feel awe.
