The Death List Novel - Chapter 248
Chapter 248 The Protagonist Of Fate
“Apostle 70053, you have entered the Demon Horn Arena 07. The terrain of the arena is randomly generated. The duel will begin in the countdown to 30 seconds …”
At this moment, Qin Lun was in a corner of an arena that was hundreds of square meters in radius. He was wearing an oval-shaped shield. This field was square, and the ground was paved with flat bluestones. At a glance, it looked like a neat Go board. A large orange light barrier enveloped the area, isolating the entire area.
There was another apostle opposite Qin Lun. The two of them were looking at each other diagonally, their eyes flashing with inexplicable light. After entering the arena, the masks and hood cloaks used by both sides to conceal their appearances had disappeared. However, because the shattered starry sky could change their appearance and shape, most of the apostles did not pay much attention to the appearance of their opponents.
Qin Lun’s opponent was handsome and elegant. Compared to ordinary-looking murderers, he was like the protagonist of an idol movie. He was holding a short staff with a strange style in his hand. It seemed to be a magical profession.
However, Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the two snake-headed staff that seemed to be wrapped in two poisonous snakes.
While Qin Lun was looking at him, the other apostles were also looking at him. Oddo’s gaze swept past the black and white spears on his opponent’s waist, and he was secretly delighted.
The rules of this internal selection contest at the Horn of the Abyss were close to the battle for supremacy. The apostle’s storage space and guild warehouse have been sealed off from normal recovery items. The apostle equipment that everyone was carrying should be their main weapon.
Sagittarius was a natural enemy of mages, but Oddo was no ordinary mage. On the contrary, he preferred to fight against a shooter than against some thick-skinned, thick-fleshed, explosive warrior professions.
“LUCK!” Oddo lowered his head and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He touched his staff and avoided his opponent’s line of sight, in case he aroused the enemy’s vigilance in advance.
You’re unlucky to meet me! Oddo was very excited. He was an elementary apostle attached to Skyfloat. Tian Fu was one of the five large guilds under the Apostle Filling Tombstone. The urban management race supported by Tian Fu was the wind elemental race, belonging to the chaos neutral camp. The ranking of urban points was about the same as “Lost”, about seven or eight places.
Oddo was a rookie apostle trained by Tian Fu, and the rookie team of Tian Fu had leaned a lot of resources on him. Oddo had an extremely powerful innate talent for spiritual energy, and his spiritual energy was several times that of an ordinary person.
Before entering the shattered starry sky, Oddo had been trapped in a headache for many years. His body and mind were unable to reach a unified state, and he was treated as a lunatic. When he entered the shattered starry sky, his powerful spiritual energy became his apostle’s capital.
During the preparation of the apostles, his spiritual will was no less than that of a beginner mage, and his basic magic power was several times greater than that of the other preparatory apostles.
The Sky Float’s rookie Guild Leader’s Smart Eye Sense Pearl recruited him into the guild and poured a large amount of resources into him. Oddo himself was very successful, using only six mission worlds to change professions and become a professional apostle.
Originally, Oddo didn’t have to participate in this city war. The new leader of Skyfloat told him that although his combat profession was very powerful, it was the profession that was most likely to perish at the early stages. Because his equipment skills and body strengthening were biased towards spirit and magic power, his HP and defense were extremely weak. Once he was close to the enemy, his life would be in danger.
However, Oddo was arrogant because he did not think that an apostle of the same rank could threaten his life. Moreover, Oddo knew that his magical profession required more actual combat before he could truly grow. As a result, the new leader of Skyfloat managed to obtain an invitation letter for him.
As Oddo and Qin Lun looked at each other, the terrain of the arena changed rapidly. A portion of the flat bluestones rose up from the ground, turning into countless stone pillars of different heights and heights. Some of the stone pillars were only about a meter tall and looked like a low square wooden stake. There were also stone pillars that stood tall, at least thirty zhang away, no less than ten meters high!
In an instant, the entire hundreds of square meters of arena became a forest of stone pillars.
Qin Lun raised his eyes slightly. This kind of terrain was obviously not good for him. Not only did it obscure the shooting angle, it also prevented him from approaching the opponent quickly. However, Oddo was overjoyed. This terrain was simply tailored for him. He was indeed a mage, but he was not an ordinary mage. He was a professional … summoner!
As the countdown was exhausted, the oval shield protecting Qin Lun also dissipated into countless dots of light, completely disappearing. As soon as the shield disappeared, Qin Lun immediately rushed in the direction of his opponent. There were many ways to deal with magic professions, but neither of them was as effective as melee combat.
Qin Lun carried light and darkness to the funeral, but did not summon Cyberlus immediately. The terrain here was too narrow. Cyberus was swift and powerful, lacking in dexterity. He couldn’t use it in such a terrain, so he was only a living target for the other party.
When Qin Lun crossed half of the field, a thunderous sound came from the other side and quickly spread out, causing him to frown slightly.
“Looks like I saw the staff correctly. He is indeed a summoner!” Qin Lun closed his eyes and opened them again. Twelve tiny dots of light appeared around his pitch-black pupils, and three needles appeared in the middle of his pupils. They were beating slightly on the dots of light.
Qin Lun expressionlessly turned around and looked around. His clock-shaped pupils seemed to be able to see through the huge stone pillar in front of him and observe the distant scenery. At this moment, a three-dimensional projection of the arena appeared in his consciousness with himself as the center.
This projection turned the environment of the arena into a black-and-white image. The stone pillars made of bluestone had completely turned translucent, leaving only sketchy lines. In this black-and-white sketch, there were currently some incongruous orange-red clusters of light surrounding him from all directions.
“One, two … fourteen, fifteen … there are actually more than twenty of them!” Qin Lun’s expression was slightly stunned. “This is a beginner summoner? What is the upper limit of his spirit and magic power?”
When Qin Lun first entered the Shattered Star System, he planned to be a summoner who would take care of long-range attacks. Although Joey had to give up the summoning profession because of his objection, it did not hinder his familiarity and understanding of the profession.
He himself had a Tier 5 summoning creature, the Hellfire Devil Dog, and knew very well that summoners were not easy to do. The Hellfire Devil Hound required a maximum of 385 MP. In addition, if it recruited other summoned creatures, it would have to deduct this upper limit first.
At that time, his death list did not have the data of “Spiritual Will”, so it did not reveal another spiritual requirement for summoning creatures. In fact, even though his maximum energy had already broken through to 810 points, with only 30 points of spiritual will, he was still unable to possess another Hellfire Devil Dog.
In some people’s imagination, get a mother bug and lay a large pile of eggs. It was absolutely impossible to sweep the world with the Summoning Legion, punch Nanshan Nursery, and kick Beihai Senior Citizen’s Home in the Apostolic World. If the world of Laws turned into a nonsense movie, would it still be the world of Laws?
However, the Apostle Summoner in front of Qin Lun had completely overturned his understanding. As a beginner apostle, he had summoned more than twenty summoned creatures. Even though the life auras of these summoned creatures were much weaker than those of the Hellfire Devil Hounds, they probably wouldn’t exceed rank three, but after all, there were more than twenty of them!
If the protagonist of fate advanced to a high-level apostle, even if he could not sweep the world, bringing along a hundred or so Tier 3 or Tier 4 summoning items would be enough for him to form a small summoning army. When the other high-ranking apostles saw him, they would probably take a detour around him.
“Haloxylon!” Just as Qin Lun was in a daze, the summoned creatures from all directions had already bypassed the stone pillars and appeared in front of him.
It was a puppy-sized creature that looked like a pangolin. Its body was long and narrow, covered with black scales. Its limbs were thick and short, its head was conical, its tail was long and flat, and its back was raised high.
“Hiss ~ ~” Upon seeing Qin Lun, the creatures immediately straightened their upper bodies, opened their mouths and let out a venomous snake-like howl. Two rows of serrated fangs that the pangolin definitely didn’t have were revealed in the grinning long kiss.
It looked like a tough battle! A smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face as he shook his guns, “Bang! Bang!” Two flashes of light, one white and one black, shot out from the muzzle of the funeral gun.
“Pupu!” The two scaled beasts at the front fell to the ground, and dark green blood flew out of their conical heads. Seeing his companion fall, the other scaled beasts were instantly enraged. They immediately threw themselves at Qin Lun with hoarse cries, their small black eyes emitting a ferocious light.
“The scales on their bodies aren’t as hard as they look. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with more than twenty of these summoned creatures!” Seeing this, Qin Lun’s heart calmed down, and he slowly retreated steadily. The muzzle of the dark and bright funeral gun continuously emitted black and white light, knocking over all the vanguard troops of these scaled beasts.
“Huh?” As he slowly retreated, Qin Lun suddenly snorted and frowned slightly. During the shooting earlier, the blood of a scale-armored beast splashed onto his arm, instantly causing him to feel an unbearable pain.
Chi! Qin Lun’s left forearm splashed onto the scaled beast’s blood, melting like butter, revealing a shocking bloody hole. At the same time, the corner of his eyes had already noticed that wisps of azure smoke were rising from the stone ground that had come into contact with the scaled beast’s blood.
These scaled beasts’ body fluids were extremely corrosive! “Humph!” A cold light flashed in Qin Lun’s eyes. He put away the angel’s praise with his right hand and the Evil Dagger slid into his palm from his sleeve. With a flash of the saber light, the rotten flesh on his left forearm fell to the ground.
After the rotten flesh of his arm landed on the ground, it was still like a lamb skewer that had fallen into boiling oil. Countless blisters appeared on the surface one after another, and it quickly turned into a pool of blood. Qin Lun’s left arm was also heavily injured. Not only did the wound expose his bones, the surface of his bones was also charred black, giving off a strong stench of decay.
“Hehe, you are no match for me. Surrender and save my treasures some effort!” The Summoner, who was hiding in the dark, seemed to have seen Qin Lun’s embarrassment and sneered indifferently.
At the same time, the scaled beasts that Qin Lun had originally thought he had killed actually stood up with their bodies swaying. The wounds on their heads were slowly healing. Their small black eyes stared fixedly at Qin Lun as they roared angrily.
