Infinite Throne

   Chapter 231 Returnees, the end of the trial! (7200 words meet the big chapter)

   hiss—

  Irin moved forward at full speed.

   Then suddenly, not far from Gu Tianqing, there was a sudden brake.

   Demon King: "???"

  Tianqing Gu: "…"

  Irin held a wide-blade long sword and stared at the changes in Gu Tianqing.

   Although Gu Tianqing was silent, there was still a faint smile on his face, but it was obvious that this expression was just Gu Tianqing's habitual pretence.

  After the trident shattered, the skin on Gu Tianqing's face was disintegrating at a speed discernible to the naked eye, peeling off, and behind the peeled skin, drops of stinky blood were seeping out like no money.

   Yi Rin now wanted to understand Gu Tianqing's current situation, he laughed and said, "What? Why don't we go together?"

  Gu Tianqing heard the words, and was dumbfounded, but the hand covering his chest became stronger, and said, "You're like this... It's hard for us to make friends happily."

   "Well, I'll go by myself."

   "Excuse me... please be quick."

  Irin smiled and replied: "This, it's hard to say, the other party is so big, so tall, so strong..."

   Gu Tianqing suddenly took a breath, and he didn't know if it was the sequelae after the curse was removed, or if he made up his mind.

   Suddenly, Gu Tianqing took out a card from the storage space.

   is not an item card, but one of the tarot cards in that set.

   Gu Tianqing looked into Yi Rin's eyes with a calm expression: "This is my sincerity."

  Irin's eyes narrowed deeper: "Then we have to see how sincere you are."

   Gu Tianqing was speechless.

   But there was not much time, and Gu Tianqing stopped talking nonsense. With a flick of his palm, the black card came to Yi Rin in a blink of an eye.

   And this time.

  Irin also saw the face of the card clearly. On the tarot card, there was an image of a hideous demon. Behind the demon, it seemed like an abyss, filled with boundless darkness.

  Irin hesitated for two seconds.

Gu Tianqing was afraid that Yi Rin would hesitate to drag herself to death, and reminded softly: "I think you can also see that my state is not suitable for... force. This is my sincerity. At this last moment, I have no reason. I'll smack you."

   "Who knows."

  Irin shook his head, but still stretched his hand towards the "Demon" Tarot card.

   Indeed, Gu Tianqing's state at the moment, as long as he is not blind, he can see it, and he is not optimistic.

   At the same time, Yi Rin also speculated that what happened to Gu Tianqing was similar to the sea monster Zhao Xingchen, but it was not as pitiful as Zhao Xingchen.

   At the moment when the trident was broken, with the disappearance of Calypso, some people were happy and some were sad.

  Irin's fingers quickly reached out to the tarot card.

  In an instant, the tarot cards turned into black rays of light, entwining endlessly following Irin's arm.

  【Get the status of gain: Demonization. 】

  【Benefit time limit: 60 seconds. 】

With the gain BUFF upper body, Yi Rin... No, to be precise, Elizabeth Rin's body swelled up like a balloon, especially those arms, which bulged with rock-like muscles. The blue veins on the muscles were exposed, and the tuxedo was stretched tightly by this sudden change, as if it would overflow at any time.

"This is-"

  Irin was slightly startled, feeling the skyrocketing power attribute in her body. She never expected that Gu Tianqing's Tarot cards could achieve such a level.

   Is it purely auxiliary type?

  Irin habitually quickly analyzed the ability of Gu Tianqing's enchanted weapon.

  At the same time as the gain buff, a violent emotion seemed to destroy everything in front of him, gradually spreading from somewhere in his mind.

   But it didn't affect Irin's sanity, it just made Irin feel a little excited.

   Gu Tianqing urged: "There is only one minute, so be sure to do it as soon as possible."

   Yi Rin gave Gu Tianqing a deep look, which was meaningful.

He didn't tell Gu Tianqing his guess, or maybe, Gu Tianqing used this tarot card on Yi Rin reluctantly, and also expected that Yi Rin could speculate some limitations or abilities of his enchanted weapon, so he was also very helpless. .

"Hahaha-"

   Time is running out.

   Yilin let out a long roar, and the Nightmare started again with the smell of alcohol, driving the Nightmare. Yilin held a long sword, crossed the sea, and came to the Demon King.

The    Demon King looked like he was at the end of the fight. Under the various beatings, the parts on his body had fallen to pieces, and the breathing light on his chest kept flashing.

But Yi Rin didn't dare to be careless. During this one-minute gain time, Yi Rin's power attribute skyrocketed. Gu Tianqing finally made such a move, but it was able to avoid Yi Rin's last trump card of "Bloodthirsty Disaster". .

   Until the last moment, Yiren really didn't want to use this skill to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

  The Demon King is like a warrior who is going to die brazenly. In the face of Irin and Nightmare who are "like ants", he doesn't dodge or evade, and directly uses the only remaining iron arm to pull at Irin fiercely.

  Irin's eyes narrowed.

   Driving a motorcycle with one hand is indeed a bit difficult, but unfortunately, the Nightmare does not have an automatic driving mode, so Yiren can only do that.

  Rumble—

  The air wave erupted, Yi Rin suddenly lifted the front of the car, and the Nightmare seemed to have escaped the gravity in an instant, turned 90 degrees, and ran over the Demon King's legs.

boom!

This palm covered the sky and blocked the sun, like a meteor falling, but it shot in the air, the Nightmare sprayed billowing waves, under the control of Yi Rin, flexibly circled around the Demon King's body, circle after circle lock up.

   This is the real ignoring terrain.

  Irin was very emotional.

   As long as it belongs to the "terrain", whether it is a dirt road or a ceiling, he can drive up. With the addition of skills, Yiren can control the Nightmare freely in various terrains without skilled driving skills.

   slapped the air with a palm, and the Demon King seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

   "That ant" crawled on himself!

   "Cuckoo... sizzle... squeak-"

  In the body of the Demon King, there were waves of meaningless and untranslatable noises.

   is like anger, like crying, like helplessness, and like lonely.

  Irin had no time to scrutinize the Demon King's emotions at the moment.

   Driven by the main quest, either this monster fell completely, or they stayed in this world and ended up like a poor governor.

  Fighting...no reason!

   is all about tasks.

  The Demon King was twitching wildly, and all the damage and joints on his body were rubbing with terrifying firelight.

   Kaka Kaka Kaka.

The    Demon King was almost crazy, and slapped himself on his body, as if he wanted to slap the Nightmare crawling around on his body.

   But Yi Rin definitely wouldn't give the Demon King a chance to tickle, so he followed the broken road and drove behind the Demon King.

   You have the ability, but you scratch your back!

   stretched his hand behind his back and scratched it!

   As we all know, once it itches, there is an eternal dead end behind it.

   Such a huge BOSS has obvious advantages and sufficient lethality, but its disadvantages are also obvious... Generally speaking, it is not too flexible, relatively speaking.

  Irin backhandedly inserted the giant blade into the Demon King's armor, and with the powerful driving force of the Nightmare, he forcibly tore out ferocious scars on the armor!

   "Not enough...not enough..."

  The Demon King screamed.

  Unfortunately, the strength of Irin's psychic power at the moment is not enough to support Irin's weight. Without the Nightmare, Irin would not be able to attack the key points of the Demon King at all. Apart from pedicures on the sea, there is no other way.

   While dodging the Demon King's tickling, Irin took the big knife and drove the car to the Demon King's chest.

   On the Demon King's chest, the place where the red breathing light flickered was actually fragmented, filled with mucus that had already solidified, and the red breathing light was leaking from the mucus, as if there was something in it, struggling desperately.

   Slime?

   Sea monster?

   Calypso?

   Could it be that before their wave of apostles came to this world, Calypso had already manipulated sea monsters and had contact with the Demon King?

  Irin's mind quickly flashed various thoughts.

   Now, there are less than 30 seconds left before the "demonicization" state.

   By this time, Yi Rin had no time to think about the inside story of more plots.

   "Xiao Bai, change your shape a little bit."

  Bai Xiaoyi: "???"

   Yi Rin and Bai Xiaoyi had the same mind, and immediately passed his thoughts to Bai Xiaoyi.

   After a few seconds.

   The two-meter-long giant sword in Yi Rin's hand swelled wildly again.

  If it wasn't for Gu Tianqing's tarot card buff, which added a bit of strength to him, Yi Rin would not dare to bring Bai Xiaoyi's shape to this scale.

The size of the    sword is not the bigger and longer the better. If you don't have enough strength to control this weapon, it will have no shape.

   So in normal times, Yi Rin is more accustomed to using Nie Hongxiu's form changes, which is more lethal to normal humanoid monsters.

   Obviously, the demon king under the crotch of Irin and Nightmare does not belong to the category of "carbon-based life".

  【Murdering Technique】Although it is not as simple as the description of the skill, no matter how hard Irin concentrates, he cannot find the "gap" in the Demon King.

so-

  chichichi—

The    giant knife has changed again.

   On the smooth blade, there were waves of squirming, forming one after another of tiny blades.

   At this moment, what Yi Rin held tightly was no longer a two-meter-long giant sword...but a three-meter-long saw.

   "25 seconds."

  Irin smiled slightly.

   This fine-tuned shape was inspired by one of Dire's abilities.

  【Saw Blade】While inflicting damage while riding, there is a 25% chance to trigger the 'armor breaking' effect, which lasts for 10 seconds. The armor breaking effect cannot be superimposed.

   Next.

   is when the hand speed is crazy!

  Shhhhhh!

   Unarmed... Uh no, Yi Rin has fully demonstrated with his actions at this moment, what is a big knife to dismantle a mecha!

The blood jasmine turned into a big saw. Under the current strength attribute of Yi Rin, she was barely able to swipe the sword shadows one after another. Yi Rin gritted her teeth, and the Nightmare under her crotch was even more powerful, desperately facing the mucus in the Demon King's chest. Squeeze in deep!

  Kill kill kill!

   dig dig dig!

   No reason, no hatred, only pure mission!

  It's not that you die...it's that I live!

  Irin with a gradually crazy killing intent, the man and the car united, like an electric drill, and sank deeply into the Demon King's chest.

   "Pap pah... zi zi zi—"

  The Demon King suddenly made a loud noise.

   After 25 seconds.

finally.

   In the depths of the mucus, at the end of the flashing red light, Yi Rin stretched out his hand and cut out the red breathing lamp.

  Click.

  【Obtain "Contaminated Fire Source Fragments"! 】

  【Congratulations to Apostle 1010 for successfully killing the "Demon King"! 】

  【Get chaos value +2333! 】

at the same time.

  The sea.

   A lump of rotten meat floated up.

   On the rotten flesh, there are vaguely human facial features, but the positions of the eyes, ears, mouth and nose are not quite right. It feels like a jigsaw puzzle of facial features.

   "Grumble—"

   In the mouth of the rotten meat, syllables of unknown meaning were uttered, and he did not know what he was saying.

   Zhao Xingchen did not expect that when the curse disappeared, he would turn into such a miserable appearance.

   But, it doesn't matter!

   He is still alive!

   He is still stubborn!

   No matter how miserable and tattered this body is, it is Nicholas Zhao's body, what does it have to do with him, Zhao Xingchen?

  As long as you can—live!

live!

   Just when Zhao Xingchen thought that he would bear the heavy mission of the protagonist template and was destined to survive in adversity, when he came down in this desperate situation, a black-haired figure silently appeared in front of Zhao Xingchen.

   Zhao Xingchen suddenly widened his eyes.

   The one eye was instantly filled with an emotion of "fear".

   "Good night, Nicholas Zhao."

  Gu Tianqing smiled slightly, and silently took out a skinning knife.

   The moonlight refracted by the knife was reflected on this piece of rotten flesh named "Zhao Xingchen".

   made Zhao Xingchen look miserable and helpless, like the flesh on a chopping board.

   Kill the Demon Queen.

  Irin's body was covered in mucus, and it was very uncomfortable.

   But now is clearly not the time to take a shower.

   "Tinder source fragments?"

  Irin's heart moved, thinking that the breathing lamp pulled from the Demon King's chest should be the source of everything.

   is just a shard of fire source, what is it?

After the    card was turned into a card, Yi Rin didn't have time to look at the attributes, so he put it into the storage space first.

  Boom!

  After losing the fire source fragment, the demon king who was still jumping wildly just now lost his power in an instant, turned into a pile of lifeless scrap metal, crashed down, and slowly sank into the deep sea.

   From then on, there will be no demon king in the world.

  Irin put away the big saw, twisted the accelerator, the sound of the exhaust ripped apart the sky, Irin rushed out of the pile of mucus and landed on the sea again.

"thanks."

Suddenly.

   Irin heard a gentle laughter.

  Irin looked around and found that there was no one around.

   "Alice?"

   There was relief and purity in that laughter, and there was no resentment hidden under the laughter in the past, which Irin could still distinguish.

  Alice's laughter disappeared in a flash, like an illusion.

   At this time, it was really difficult for Irin to tell whether it was an illusion or whether Alice really left a belated last word.

   After all, after the trident disappeared, Alice should have vanished into thin air, and it was impossible for her to continue to exist in this world.

   "Alice" is also a kind of curse.

   "The legendary... ascended to the sky on the spot and became a Buddha on the spot?"

  Irin laughed dumbly.

   "Rin! Rin! Rin!"

   Ruth was still alive, she wept with joy, and as the waves rose and fell, she waved frantically in the direction of Irin on the sea.

   Taking advantage of the last moment, Irin quickly drove the motorcycle and came to Ruth.

   Soaked in the icy sea water, Ruth's face was flushed and her eyes were blurred, as if she had endless words to say.

  Irin knew very well that there was not much time, so he said quickly, "I'm leaving."

  Ruth was taken aback.

   Without waiting for Ruth to ask, Yilin took out a bunch of treasures, gems, treasure maps, gold coins, canned food, fresh water, etc. that had been packed in a mess from the storage space, and stuffed them all into Ruth's hands.

  These useless props are useless even if they are brought back to the real world.

Those gold coins have unique historical characteristics. If they are sold in reality, they may cause some trouble. In addition, the apostles are not so eager for wealth in reality, so Yilin doesn't bother to stay in the storage space and waste precious money. Space, just like clearing a wave of warehouse garbage.

  Ruth's eyes widened, the joy of surviving didn't have time to elaborate, but she suddenly had a clear understanding, as if she understood the deep meaning of Elizabeth Rin's hasty actions.

  She...is going away?

   This is so premeditated, right?

   There's even a pretty bow on the package?

  Irin emptied the warehouse, then took off the mask, smiled slightly, and added: "Don't ask, I shouldn't be coming back."

  Ruth still couldn't hold back, and hugged Elizabeth Rin subconsciously: "My dear captain, one day in the future..."

  Irin chuckled and put her index finger on Ruth's lips, interrupting her words.

   "Shh—"

   "You know what, 'one day' is a cursed word."

   "Because when you think 'one day in the future' in your heart."

   "often means..."

   "Never."

   hiss.

  【Main quest 3: Seal "Calypso" and kill "Demon King"! mission completed! 】

  In an instant.

   All are silent.

   Time stands still.

  Everything in this world is completely frozen.

The cold moonlight, the torn thick fog, the wreckage of the devil sunk on the bottom of the sea, the messy sea surface, the countless wrecks, the flames and smoke that have not yet been extinguished but have been frozen, everything in front of me, solidified into a tragic but poignant picture. The picture scroll is reflected in Yi Rin's eyes.

  Irin waved his palm, and the Nightmare turned into light and dissipated into the void.

   He stepped on the sea, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

   No matter how many times, the scene before the return is always so charming.

   Looking at the frozen world gives the illusion of being completely above the world. It seems that at this moment, the existence of their apostles is completely detached from the "world", detached from everything, and people are intoxicated.

  Irin looked down and saw that Ruth was soaked in the sea, and in her eyes, there seemed to be an emotion called sadness.

   "Oh, Madam Boss, it will be indefinite in the future."

   After saying that, Irin did not have any nostalgia and walked on the frozen sea.

  The dog was combing his hair with his tongue on the side. Seeing Yilin passing by, he silently made several complicated gestures with his two paws.

  Irin: "???"

   You are so human.

   Yilin ignored Wang Tiandi and went straight to Gu Tianqing.

  Tianqing Gu was smiling. On the sea surface under his feet, there was a pile of rotten meat for unknown reasons, which was also fixed by the world.

   At the end of this world, the two looked at each other.

   There was not much time, and in the end, Yiren was the first to break the silence.

   "Which side do you belong to?"

   Gu Tianqing: "Guess what?"

   "Oh, you vile pirate."

   Gu Tianqing smiled slightly and changed the subject: "Killing the Demon King, it should be a good harvest, right?"

  Irin blinked: "Want to know? I'll tell you."

  Tianqing Gu: "?"

   "Hand out."

   Gu Tianqing hesitated for a few seconds, but didn't expect to actually stretch out his hand, as if thinking that Yi Rin would not make a fool out of anything at this moment of silence.

Snapped!

   A lump of mucus instantly stuck on Gu Tianqing's hand.

  Irin: "The boss is full of this stuff."

  Tianqing Gu: "…"

   Next second.

  Irin's eyes froze for a moment. In his sight, the dark night and the vast sea were replaced by a dazzling stream of light.

   in streamer.

  【The clearance evaluation is being calculated...】

  【Evaluation: A. 】

  【Note: Due to the reward of "Main Quest 2", the clearance evaluation level +1! 】

  【Final clearance evaluation: S! 】

  Irin: "…"

  “A”…?

  Irin was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, it seemed natural and relieved.

  【Total attribute value reward +0.8! 】

  【According to the performance of the Apostle 1010 trial allocation...】

  [Strength+0.4, Agility+0.2, Spirit+0.6, Will+0.2, Luck-0.5, Charisma-0.1…]

   Well, luck and charm attribute values ​​are deducted by 0.6, and then added to other combat-related attributes. Isn’t this a very normal operation? It’s not surprising.

   Normal... a ghost!

  Irin has been unable to complain.

   Settlement continues.

  【Death point settlement in progress...】

  [Difficulty bonus: 40% (nightmare difficulty)]

  【Evaluation bonus: 30%】

  【Get Death Point: 3400! 】

  Irin looked at the "massive" death spots with no joy or sadness.

   After being promoted to Tier 2, the basic death point of each trial has reached 2000 points, plus the difficulty and evaluation bonuses, it seems a lot, but in fact it is just average.

  The experience of Haiting City, Yi Rin earned a lot of death points, and now these more than 3,000 death points can't make Yi Rin's mood fluctuate, it's just a drizzle.

  yo, next is the lucky draw moment!

  Irin waited silently.

   is very peaceful.

  …

  【Now draw random rewards! 】

  【Get the item "Scene Card Shipwreck"*1! 】

  【Get the item "Rotten Kraken Tentacles"*3! 】

  …

  Irin: "…"

   He silently calculated the current lucky value, and immediately held hands and looked at his tears, and he was speechless.

   Settlement continues.

  …

  [Due to Apostle 1010, completed part of the hidden plot branch of "Alice's Long-cherished Wish", with a completion rate of 32%, and obtained a "Alice Q Fantasy Commemorative Badge". 】

   [Because of Apostle 1010, he gained a certain degree of activity in the trial in the name of "Skull Gentleman", and the current title can be replaced with "Skull Gentleman". Do you want to replace it? 】

  【YES/NO? 】

  Irin thought about it and chose to replace it.

  【Level Up…】

  【Congratulations to the second-order apostles for reaching the 16th floor of the Tower of Death. 】

  【Current level: LV16. 】

  【Detected that the body of Apostle 1010 is slightly damaged, whether to consume the death points to repair the body? 】

  【YES/NO? 】

It was slightly damaged, and it was estimated that it was part of the sequelae left by the use of the needle. In the final scene, Yi Rin did not suffer too much damage, but to be safe, Yi Rin chose to repair it without hesitation. Willful...and sure-footed.

   "YES."

  【Consumes 58 death points! 】

  【The repair is completed in an instant. 】

  【Return! 】

  …

   on the sea.

   The still time resumes its flow.

   The wreckage of the "Demon King" continues to sink until it is completely decayed, and it may not be able to be salvaged again.

  The fog all around, I don’t know when it will completely dissipate. From now on, there will be no more curses in this world, no more misty sea full of mysterious atmosphere.

  Puff.

   Elizabeth Rin suddenly fell into the icy water.

Ruth's eyes flashed. For some reason, Elizabeth Rin, who was in front of her, suddenly teleported to a short distance away. Although Ruth was stunned, she swam forward quickly, and even the big bag was packed." property" is also neglected.

   "Rin! My Captain!"

  I saw Elizabeth Rin's eyes closed and passed out.

   on the sea.

   A dog swimming in a slightly embarrassed manner, swam towards this side, widened the dog's eyes and panicked.

not far away.

A navigator from the East, "Amakusa Seishiro", has a complicated expression, mixed with three points of pain, three points of entanglement, three points of horror, and one point of confusion written on his forehead. His heart suddenly stopped beating, and his expression was completely frozen. Then it sank silently to the bottom of the sea.

Even he himself died in an incomprehensible way. It was obvious that he was still in the warm bed one second before, and when he came back to his senses the next second, he was already here, and before he could express his last words, he died tragically at sea. .

  Ruth didn't know what happened, just called Elizabeth Rin's name frantically.

Suddenly.

   Elizabeth Rin opened her eyes, and deep blue light flashed in those eyes, just like the color of the sea in front of her.

   "Damn outsider!"

   Elizabeth Rin gritted her teeth, and her eyes revealed two hatreds that made Ruth feel extremely unfamiliar.

  Ruth: "Rin?"

   After a while.

   The hatred in Elizabeth Rin's eyes was completely put away, she floated on the sea, and elegantly rubbed the accessories on the edge of her earlobe.

On the    earrings, there was a drop of dried blood that melted into Elizabeth Rin's white fingertips without a trace.

   Elizabeth Rin Swan, smiled at Ruth: "Do you want to see the new world?"

  New, new world?

  Ruth didn't know where to think, and her breathing was a little short.

   That, that, so exciting?

  You, you finally figured it out! My good captain!

  Thinking of the depths, Ruth felt the heat in her limbs even in the icy sea water, and subconsciously twisted.

   She didn't notice that after Elizabeth Rin said those words, there was a trace of hidden hatred in her eyes.

   Ten days later.

  The Battle of the Misty Sea, various versions, spread all over the sea.

  London.

   Governor's Palace.

  A woman with an elegant figure and a calm demeanor appeared in the empty and gloomy Governor's Mansion.

   Elizabeth Rin walked straight to the gorgeous corridor on the first floor full of concave and convex spiral reliefs.

  Beep beep —

  After Elizabeth Rin slowly walked through the corridor, dazzling red lights flashed around, and the alarm bell rang loudly.

   But soon, the piercing alarm bell fell silent again, as if it had never sounded.

   Elizabeth Rin gracefully walked to the pitch-black door.

   Before she entered the password, the elevator actually opened, as if to welcome Elizabeth Rin.

ten minutes later.

   Underground of the Governor's Palace.

   This is a room filled with white lights.

  The walls of the room are covered with many strange instruments, making beeping sounds from time to time.

   In the center of the room, in a glass tank filled with a strange green liquid, a mutilated body was soaked.

   It seems that the head of the corpse in the glass tank is still intact. Electrodes connected with wires are attached to the surrounding of the head. The face is fragmented and the appearance is terrible.

   Under the head, it was even more miserable. Most of the body seemed to be bitten off by some monster, and only half was left.

   If you were a normal person, you would never be able to live with this attitude.

  Elizabeth Rin came to the glass tank and giggled: "Long time no see, Governor Henry Turner. Or should I call you... an outsider?"

   in a glass tank full of green liquid.

  The broken body, the closed eyes on the face, slowly opened.

   "Want to leave this world? Outsiders."

  Grumble—

  In the glass tank, a string of tiny bubbles suddenly poured out.
