Chapter 82 An Unnecessary Second Tyrant

In less than ten seconds, Shiva was caught by the beam, and in an instant, he was frozen in ice. The ice block was of medium size, just like a coffin, wrapping Shiva from head to toe.

But that didn't mean Feng Bujue had won...

The seven stone disks of the Heavenly Dance Hourglass split into two groups, three staying beside Feng Bujue and four flying back to Shiva.

The nine beams of light from the three stone disks shot out continuously from the same angle, all hitting the barrel of the Frozen Pulse Gun. The muzzle was immediately bounced away by the impact, forcing Feng Bujue to stop the pulse output.

The twelve beams of light from the other four stone disks accurately shot at the ice that bound Shiva's limbs, shattering parts of the ice.

For Shiva, as long as his limbs regained their ability to move, it would not be difficult to escape the restraints. He broke the ice around him in a few moves, escaped the area, and slipped into an alley.

"You are very similar to me, Feng Bujue," Shiva said, hiding behind the corner of the wall. "You can see through the opponent's moves at a glance and immediately understand what kind of fighting style can make you win."

"Is that a compliment from the player ranked second on the combat power list?" Feng Bujue replied, approaching slowly. Because he was wearing the Cold-Blooded Armor, he walked very slowly, and every step made a loud noise.

"Being praised by someone like me, besides being happy, you should be more afraid," Shiva said. As he spoke, the seven stone disks quickly flew into the corner where he was hiding, temporarily out of Feng Bujue's sight.

"Afraid? Ha... why?" Feng Bujue laughed.

"Is it difficult to understand?" Shiva said, "Then I'll make it clearer." He paused. "Having the talent to rival the top powerhouses is not a good thing, because..." He flashed out of the corner, with a floating hourglass beside him, "There is no need for two overlords on the same domineering path."

In that instant, blue light suddenly appeared on the hourglass, and a vast force burst out.

Seeing this, Feng Bujue knew that this was definitely the opponent's killing move, and he could not be careless. But he was wearing heavy armor and could not move easily. Plus, he had to hold the guns in both hands, so he couldn't use the Death Poker to defend.

So, he decided to tough it out...

At least on a physical level, the defensive ability of the Cold-Blooded Armor was undoubtedly higher than the effect of a [Shield]. As long as the opponent didn't use some strange non-physical attack, Feng Bujue was seventy to eighty percent sure that he could withstand it.

But Shiva used a mental attack...

He had already seen the defensive power of the Cold-Blooded Armor and was wary of the bombs on Feng Bujue's body. Under these two reasons, a strong attack was obviously unwise.

Therefore, he used the "Water" effect of the [Heavenly Dance Hourglass]: [Atonement], ignoring physical defense and launching a wave of mental erosion against an enemy, adding the "Atonement" state to the target for thirty seconds. According to the target's jump scare reaction, a certain percentage of survival points will be lost every second (no less than 1% at the minimum). After use, the water stone disk will shatter and can only be restored by returning to the login space.

From a player's perspective, although Shiva could not completely determine the authenticity of the bombs, he was sure that the so-called "the bomb will explode if you lose consciousness" was definitely a lie.

If a player loses consciousness, it means turning into white light and disappearing, and the items (bombs) on their body will also leave the script. And if those bombs cannot be taken out of the script, then as a non-plot-related consumable, it will immediately stop working and return to the "unoperated" state, available for other players to pick up, and it will not explode.

This setting is to prevent some players who know they are about to die from maliciously setting up traps before leaving the script in similar modes, thereby affecting the subsequent development of the script.

Shiva, who was familiar with the rules, naturally knew these details, so he used the ultimate move that he had originally prepared for Qisha on Feng Bujue.

If this mental attack successfully killed the opponent (Shiva thought the chances of success were extremely high), he would not only be able to seize the Iceman's armor and guns, but also possibly get the powerful cloud-explosive bomb. Then the use of [Atonement] would be worth it.

"This move is quite sharp..." Feng Bujue said in a strange tone.

At this moment, what Jue Ge saw was a group of shadowy, bizarre, and horrifying spectacles, and he heard wailing ghosts and various chilling and mournful strange noises.

The effect of [Atonement] seems similar to Scarecrow's fear gas, but it is actually two different paths. Scarecrow induces the inner fear of human beings, while [Atonement] is the most direct "horror", a physiological stimulus from the outside.

For example, when we hear the sound of fingernails scratching glass, we get goosebumps because the frequency of this sound is high, which stimulates the eardrum, so the brain makes a corresponding reaction.

And in the nerve connection game, even stimuli that exceed conventional five senses can be simulated and conducted by the system...

After being hit by this move, no matter how calm and rational a person is, their jump scare value will rise due to the instinctive physiological reaction. Under the influence of Atonement, most people will become unable to resist. Not to mention thirty seconds, as long as the jump scare value is around 50%, and it lasts for ten seconds, the survival points will be gone.

"Hmph... it's over." Looking at Feng Bujue standing still, Shiva snorted coldly and recited with confidence. He couldn't wait to open the game menu and wait to see the other party's status change to "dead."

As a result, he waited, and waited for thirty seconds...

Half a minute later, Feng Bujue stood there safe and sound, and said, "Is that it?"

"Hey... hey, hey!" The ten thousand grass mud horses in Shiva's heart passed by again in the opposite direction. "He's not dead? How is that possible? People who are hit by this move don't even have time to drink blood potions..."

"Well... I thought this move was so powerful, but it only dropped 30% of my survival points, and it took a full thirty seconds, ha!" Feng Bujue commented disdainfully, "The interference effect on the senses is okay, but I'm wearing armor, and you didn't take the opportunity to attack, so it's useless after all."

Hearing this, Shiva's own jump scare value rose a few points, and he thought: This is a joke! A person who has been hit by Atonement and not died has never appeared before! You only lost 30% of your survival points? Isn't that the theoretical minimum value? Is your jump scare value always zero? Are you really human?

"I'm really sorry, from the beginning of the script until just now, I underestimated you... I didn't expect that there are guys like you in the world..." Shiva's eyes changed, and he became more serious than ever before. "Feng Bujue, I should use a different attitude when facing an opponent of your level."

"Oh? What is..." Before Feng Bujue could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and his pupils dilated rapidly in an instant.

Because at that moment, Shiva suddenly turned into a phantom and rushed straight towards Feng Bujue at an explosive speed, with a stern look on his face: "An attitude that doesn't mind dying with you."
