My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 268 Magic Mirror Substitute, hello, Lucifer!
"I made a wrong choice."

"I shouldn't place my hopes on these incompetent people."

Just as the silver light flashed and flowed to Xia Lin's vest, Lucifer's voice suddenly sounded in Xia Lin's ears.

As he said, it was not wise for him to lead his army to fight against Xia Lin.

Although the Temple of Stars has the power to transform the weak into strong ones and enhance the strength of the strong, Lucifer still underestimated the destructive power of the Lord of East Wind.

Without the protection of the Time Corridor, the three legions, the high-level mages, and even the three pillars of ice, void, and light were too fragile in front of Xia Lin and could not stand at all.

Xia Lin turned around suddenly and faced the silver light.

But he saw another dim light coming from behind and rushing straight into his head!
It's the Siren Soul-stealing Technique from the Siren Song!
At this moment, this racial heritage-level equipment that should have been controlled by the Ice Pillar appeared in Lucifer's hands - and the Ice Pillar had been burned to ashes by the raging flames!
And the cooldown time of the Siren's Soul Reaper is only one minute.

The CD time is now over!

Xia Lin really had no way to deal with this equipment.

Soul-type attacks are considered to be the most powerful existence in the professional system, and there are not many skills that can have a good defensive effect against soul-type attacks.

The brain was in great pain, and the feeling of craniotomy and stirring came back again, even making Xia Lin's eyes go black, and he froze in place for a moment.

And what came next was the silver light emitted by Lucifer!

[Time Assassination (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill, exclusive to Time Mages. After activation, it consumes 500 points of mental power or magic power, and condenses the Blade of Time to attack the enemy! The damage caused by the Blade of Time cannot be healed by any conventional means! The cooldown time of this skill is one minute! ]

The silver-white light instantly tore through Xia Lin's defense system, leaving a penetrating wound on Xia Lin's chest.

Blood spurted out like a fountain. The severe pain in his body made Xia Lin open his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were bloodshot.

The sum of the injuries he had suffered since the start of the war was not even as ferocious as Lucifer's time assassination technique!
Lucifer's voice faintly rang in my ears.

"Fortunately, it's not too late now."

A mahogany staff appeared out of thin air in Lucifer's hand.

He used his staff as a sword and stabbed at Xia Lin with a dull look on his face.

But Xia Lin has already broken free from the control of the Siren's soul-stealing technique.

A light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Xia Lin ignored his physical injuries and focused on Lucifer's movements.

Mental strength slowly fades away.

However, Xia Lin also saw through Lucifer's attack trajectory.

"Apply force downwards, to the lower body."

With observation in hand, Xia Lin accurately determined where Lucifer's attack would land.

However, just as Xia Lin dodged, the peach wood staff drew a strange arc and hit Xia Lin's right arm heavily!

A huge force surged, and Xia Lin flew backwards and hit the door to the demon world.

The wound caused by the time assassination technique spurted out a large amount of blood, which was then absorbed by the Demon Realm Gate.

The light of the Demon Realm Gate grew brighter and brighter.

The monsters are about to be summoned!

But Xia Lin just stared at Lucifer and soon realized.

"To know the future..."

The actual result of the attack just now did not match the conclusion drawn from observation.

This is not about observing waste, but Lucifer has a way to suppress observation.

The first one is what Xia Lin said about predicting the future!

[Time Observation (SS-level skill): Active ability. After it is activated, it consumes 100 points of mental power per second. In this state, the user can vaguely sense what will happen in the short term in the future. This skill has no cooldown time. ]

It looks very impressive, but it's actually not a very beautiful skill - the key lies in the word "blur"...

This is a probabilistic skill. Sometimes, even if you activate the skill, you may not be able to accurately observe the future direction.

Another factor is that Lucifer in his second form possesses a power that does not belong to him!

That is the power of the fraudulent evil god!

At this moment, Xia Lin finally saw the obscure black light filling Lucifer's body.

It was precisely because of the existence of this black light that observers were unable to clearly see through Lucifer's attack movements - he used the power of the deceiving evil god to disguise his attack intentions and muscle force details!
Before Xia Lin could land and stand firmly, Lucifer had transformed into a long silver snake and appeared in front of Xia Lin again.

The long staff stabbed, chopped and slashed, and the strong wind whistled and swept away. The strength of the final BOSS in this ashes area was already amazing, and he had the ability of time observation and deception, which was stronger than close combat. As a result, although he was a mage, he was able to suppress Xia Lin in close combat.

What's more, Xia Lin lost the initiative and his injuries could not heal. As his blood was lost, Xia Lin clearly felt that he was getting weaker and weaker.

But Xia Lin remained calm.

Defend, defend, defend again!
Defense and evasion are the top priority, and Dongfeng missiles are constantly being called upon to appear in all directions.

The violent shock waves and flames hit Lucifer's body, creating silver-white ripples.

This is the effect of one of Lucifer's defensive skills.

The silver light protected Lucifer from being hurt by the east wind, but Xia Lin himself was strong in offense but weak in defense. Even though this defensive skill was also at the foundation level, it was broken in a short period of time under the bombardment!

At the moment when the silver light went out, Dongfeng formed the Dongfeng Immortal Killing Formation and attacked Lucifer again.

Bloodstains appeared on Lucifer's body. Countless debuffs instantly submerged Lucifer and weakened his attributes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But the Dongfeng Immortal Killing Formation is not unsolvable.

Silver and black light complement each other.

Two skills were released by Lucifer.

[Inherent Time System (SSS-level skill): Active skill, exclusive to the Time Mage. Consumes 1000 points of magic power to keep the player's state constant at the peak, thus not being affected by any negative state or weakening effects! This skill lasts for 1 minute, and has a cooldown of one month! ]

[Fraud. False Weighting (Racial Heritage Level): Active skill. Consume 1 points of mental power to temporarily increase the judgment authority of a certain skill by one level! However, after the effect of the designated skill disappears, the level of the designated skill will permanently degrade by one level! ]

By using fraud and false weighting, a fixed time system is specified, so that after the defensive skills are broken, an alternative defense system can be re-formed.

This defense system is even as tough as the Time Corridor, it can be said to be invincible!
Even if it's just for one minute of invincibility!
Xia Lin clearly saw that the Dongfeng missile hit Lucifer and clearly caused damage, but as a silver light flashed quickly on Lucifer's body, his injuries healed instantly, and there was no way to talk about the debuff effect of the Dongfeng Immortal Killing Formation.

However, Xia Lin gave a grim smile.

From the observation perspective, Xia Lin saw black spots oozing out from Lucifer's wound and flying into the air.

Without waiting for the black spots to go away, Xia Lin thought again, and the Book of the Spirit World appeared beside him.

The scroll opened automatically, attraction was generated, and all the black spots were sucked into the book of the spiritual world.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Xia Lin spoke calmly.

"It's not that you made the wrong choice."

"But you have to make the choice to gather your men to besiege me."

Lucifer did not respond, but his attack frequency increased several times.

[Time Acceleration Magic (SS level): Active skill, exclusive skill for Time Mage. Consume 100 points of mental power to add a time acceleration buff to yourself! With this buff, your perception of time will be biased, thus speeding up your reaction and action. But please note that excessive time acceleration may damage your body and mind! This skill lasts for 2 minutes and has a cooldown of 1 hour! ]

Originally, because of the sneak attack and the time assassination technique, Xia Lin was at a disadvantage in the close combat.

Now that this simple SS-level skill was used, Xia Lin's disadvantage became even greater.

The Dongfeng missile is very effective against groups, but its effect against powerful single targets is average.

Lucifer is too strong.

However, Xia Lin kept talking at this moment.

He continued, "You are currently at the second stage as mentioned by Wenrou, which means that Lucifer himself exerts influence on the projection in the dream, thus making the projection in the dream become his own avatar and have a certain power of deception."

"But there is a problem... Your current second stage is not the same as Wenrou's description... It is much weaker than Wenrou's description, especially since you have not displayed more skills derived from the Deceitful Evil God."

"Why is this?" Xia Lin asked himself.

The answer is clear.

Xia Lin has demonstrated the ability to absorb the power of the Deceitful Evil God... and the power of the Deceitful Evil God is actually Lucifer's fundamental power!
The power of the fraudulent evil god absorbed by Xia Lin cannot be retrieved, and may even be impossible to recover.

This caused Lucifer to not dare to confront Xia Lin directly, but instead placed his hopes on his subordinates and three pieces of foundation-level equipment.

This is not Lucifer's mistake, but Lucifer's best choice.

When Xia Lin broke through the time corridor, Lucifer's plan was shattered.

He took action personally and seemed to have the upper hand, but it was also a choice he was forced to make.

Just like now, every time Xia Lin caused a little damage to Lucifer, the power of fraud would escape and be absorbed by the Book of the Spirit World.

Lucifer didn't even dare to use more fraud skills to prevent Xia Lin from consuming too much of his fraud power.

"It doesn't matter……"

Lucifer spoke dully.

“The loss is still within an acceptable range.”

"And I have already won this battle."

The Siren Song in his hand glowed again.

The CD of Siren's Soul Reaper has been reduced and can be activated again.

Xia Lin was forcibly controlled.

Before he could come to his senses, Lucifer raised his hand and the time assassination technique that had already cooled down was fired again!
The silvery-white light stream hit Xia Lin's heart with lightning speed!
Two unhealable wounds stood side by side on Xia Lin's chest, forming two large transparent holes.

And just after this attack, a magical light suddenly burst out from Lucifer.

The light was in a ring shape and instantly sent Xia Lin flying far away.

The two distanced themselves.

Xia Lin trembled as he got up from the ground and looked up at Lucifer.

Then he could see Lucifer looking down at him with a dull expression and nodding slightly to him.

"It has ended."

"You are weaker than I thought, weaker than those two."

"And you don't understand the logic of the dreams of all living beings... Now, the me who appears in front of you is just a projection in the dream. In the dream, you can be reborn infinitely, but you only have one life."

“This is absolute oppression brought about by authority.”

As soon as these three sentences were spoken, the dull look on Lucifer's face quickly faded away, and his expression became lively and vivid.

He looked down at Xia Lin, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he soon smiled.

"This is what happens when you go against the Temple of Stars and me!"

However, just as he finished speaking these outrageous words, Lucifer suddenly let out a scream.

Countless east winds instantly submerged Lucifer's figure.

The massive attack frequency instantly added endless debuffs to Lucifer and quickly weakened Lucifer's attributes!
The logic of this scene is very simple.

Because Lucifer had regressed from the second stage to the first stage, it also meant that Lucifer's body had already extracted its power from the dream incarnation. At the moment, Lucifer was no longer affected by the fraudulent and false weighted skills, and even the level of the inherent time system had regressed from SSS to SS!
Such a combination of skills cannot withstand the power of the Dongfeng Immortal Killing Formation.

At the moment when Lucifer changed his form, his life came to an end.

The east wind and rain tore Lucifer's robes and shattered Lucifer's body.

Before the broken flesh and blood could fall like rain, it was burned to ashes by the flames.

But as Lucifer said.

He has already won.

The two time assassination techniques became blood-draining valves, madly devouring Xia Lin's vitality.

And as long as Xia Lin dies, he will also die in reality if he dies in the dream.

But as another dream core, Lucifer had nothing to worry about. He could completely condense the dream projection again, project his consciousness onto the dream projection again, and then slowly deal with Fang Xiang and Sylvie's problems.

——Without Xia Lin to handle the pressure, the combination of Fang Xiang and Sylvie would not be able to influence the overall situation.

Just then, the roar of the door opening rang in Xia Lin's ears.

This made Xia Lin look back to his side.

Beside him, the gate to the demon world slowly opened, and a terrifying monster three meters tall with six arms emerged from the gate and appeared on the ruined battlefield.

It slowly raised its head and looked towards Xia Lin, emitting a terrifying aura that was no less terrifying than Xia Lin's, and murderous intent and fierceness flashed in its scarlet eyes.

As a result, Xia Lin's current situation became one where he was bleeding from two time assassination spells in front of him, and behind him was the hostility of a ferocious monster summoned by the Demon Realm Gate, whose strength was not inferior to his own.

No matter how you look at it, this is a dead end and there is no solution.

Xia Lin, however, slowly stood up and gave a weak grin.

"One life in exchange for your information about Lucifer and three pieces of heritage-level equipment."

"This deal isn't a loss."

At the same time as the sound was rang out, the Dongfeng missile had already delivered two pieces of equipment, the Siren's Song and the Soul Crown, to Xia Lin.

After a quick look, Xia Lin put it away and looked at the monster in front of him again.

Dongfeng bombed again, forcing the monsters to retreat again and again, but Xia Lin took the opportunity to come to the front of the demon world gate.

At this moment, the Demon Realm Gate no longer has any effect because the summoning has been completed.

Also, due to the aftermath of the previous battle, the dream master Sivir was killed, leaving the Demon Realm Gate without a master.

So this time, Xia Lin easily put the Demon World Gate into his personal space.

So, Crown of Souls, Song of the Siren, and Gate to the Demon World, get it!

Xia Lin had obtained props and equipment from dreams before.

Therefore, I know that the equipment obtained in the dream can be brought back to reality, and once I get it, it is my own.

At present, these three foundation-level equipment already belong to Xia Lin... But it does seem a bit too outrageous that Xia Lin is still thinking about this when he is dying.

But in fact, this is also one of Xia Lin’s backup plans.

It would be great if we could withstand this wave and easily deal with Lucifer.

But Lucifer's strength was beyond Xia Lin's expectations...which prevented Xia Lin from directly achieving a perfect ending.

Then we can only settle for the next best thing.

"Lose some, then gain more..."

As soon as the thought came to his mind, the surging demonic energy rushed to Xia Lin.

As Yu Xialin stood still, the summoned ancient demon punched out and hit Xialin in the head.

Xia Lin did not defend.

He even took the initiative to relax his defense...

This caused Xia Lin's head to explode like a watermelon in an instant, and his headless body fell backwards on the spot.

However, an illusory mirror flashed across Xia Lin's body and synchronized with reality.

At this moment, a black halo appeared behind Xia Lin's body.

Another dream break.

Then, in an instant, the dream was frozen.

……

[Magic Mirror Substitute (Racial Heritage Level Item): When you are attacked by a fatal attack, this item will take effect and will block your death once, while restoring your state to the peak and forcibly cooling the CD of all your skills! ]

This heritage-level item purchased from Dukaido has now shown its value.

In reality, Xia Lin suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked to find that his condition was intact and even his skill CDs had all been cooled down.

The scars of time assassination, which were like a thorn in the flesh, were also healed by the power of the magic mirror substitute.

This made Xia Lin's mouth curl up into a sinister smile.

The same foundation-level death substitute item in exchange for three foundation-level equipment.

Some information about Lucifer's skills is also included.

Is this a good deal?

Xia Lin felt it was a good deal, but not enough to satisfy him.

Just as he was thinking, his body twitched suddenly and he opened his eyes.

He looked at Xia Lin and was visibly stunned, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought you..."

He thought Xia Lin was dead.

Xia Lin waved his hand, indicating that this was not important.

Then he asked again: "The dream was paused. Was your ascent to the stairs interrupted?"

Speaking of this, Fang Xiang was beaming with joy.

"No! I really want to kowtow to you this time. This gift from Xiweier is so wonderful."

Suddenly, Sylvie's voice sounded inside Fang Xiang's body.

“I’m not a gift.”

Fang Xiang's face twitched: "Yes, yes, I made a slip of the tongue..."

Then he said to Xia Lin: "My ascent to the stairs has not been interrupted. As long as I enter the Dream of All Living Things again, I can continue the ascent at any time. These are the effects of the fusion of the dream core! And I have a hunch that ascending the stairs with the Dream of All Living Things may have a far-reaching positive impact on my future path..."

"Huh? Why is there another person here?"

Fang Xiang finally noticed Vera standing aside, and turned to look at Xia Lin, as if waiting for Xia Lin to answer his questions.

However, Xia Lin was seen standing by the window of the Mage Tower, looking up at the data compartment hidden in the sky.

That is where Wenrou and Xing Fanwu are.

It is also where Lucifer's real body is located.

As Lucifer himself said.

No matter how real a dream is, it is still fake. Lucifer in the dream has the strength of a boss, but he is definitely not the final boss of this Ash Zone!

The real boss has been staying in the data layer without moving.

Even though Xia Lin was able to easily defeat Lucifer without any injury in the previous battle in the dream, he would only face more and more Lucifers afterwards.

The battle will never stop until the source is eliminated.

Fang Xiang's climbing of the stairs was a breaking point.

But the previous battle had proved that with Xia Lin's current strength, he could not perfectly protect Fang Xiang in his dream.

Lucifer really has the ability to kill Xia Lin directly.

"So in the end, I still have to count on you..."

Xia Lin sighed and opened the attribute panel, looking at the random combination that had already cooled down!
As Xia Lin's most vicious, lame and buggy ultimate move, the previous random combination went into cooldown and could not be used.

In fact, even if it has cooled down, it would probably be meaningless to use it on the fake man Lucifer in the dream.

However, at this moment, after figuring out some of Lucifer's skills, he used the magic mirror substitute to reset the CD of the random combination, causing Xia Lin to seize the most critical suspension!
The light in his eyes grew brighter.

When his mental energy consumption reached 300 million, Xia Lin finally saw a flash of black light on the outside of the data layer.

As soon as he thought of it, a Dongfeng missile appeared exactly where the black light was, and the next moment, it exploded with a loud bang!

The loud explosion gave Fang Xiang a startle.

He suddenly looked up at Xia Lin, only to find that Xia Lin's figure had disappeared, and only a Dongfeng missile as thin as a steel needle remained.

Displacement!

……

Data mezzanine.

The sudden explosion startled the three people present and even vaguely interrupted the fierce battle.

Wenrou and Xing Fanwu looked up with pale faces, looking towards the source of the sound, and found that a small crack had suddenly been torn in the data layer, and it was constantly healing - the strength of this data layer was extremely amazing, and Wenrou and Xing Fanwu were unable to escape.

At this moment, Xia Lin fired a Dongfeng, which hit the weak point, but it could only tear a shallow scar like this.

But that's enough.

A faintly smiling voice sounded from outside the data compartment.

"Hello, Lucifer, nice to see you again."

Through the gap, Xia Lin used his observation skills to lock onto the location of Lucifer's body.

He saw Lucifer was visibly stunned, and his already dull face became even duller...

It seemed that he did not understand why Xia Lin, who was doomed to die, could stand in front of him intact - this was because he was short-sighted and did not know the magic of props and their ability to turn the tables.

Just as he was stunned, a chaotic light shot out and instantly merged into Lucifer's body!
Random combination launched.

And that’s not all!
The shadow of the balance flashes again!

"Use the attributes to amplify the randomly combined power so that it can tear apart the power of the Deceitful Evil God in the target's body!"

The underlying logic of the birth of uncertain shadows and random combinations is the meat-cutting knife designed by the Soul-Enlightened Demon Emperor.

At this moment, Xia Lin used fair trade as a means and attributes as bargaining chips to stimulate the deep magical effect of this skill!

At the moment when the skill took effect, Xia Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief with contentment.

Using the magic mirror substitute to exchange for three foundation-level equipment is not enough.

Only if I exchange it for a few of Lucifer's skills and half of the power of the evil god, can Xia Lin be satisfied.
