I am a reincarnation player.

"Invest 16 reinforcement points and use the bloodline item 'King Bug Shell' to improve bloodline skills."

[Demon Possession (LV5)]

[Insect Demon Armor]

[Excellent physical and energy-based defense, which can be evolved based on samples obtained from attacks]

The huge points smashed in, causing Yuki to close his eyes. His skin turned black and red like carbonization, covering every inch of his skin, as if he was wearing a set of extremely close-fitting armor.

Using the sea of ​​blood as a mirror, Yuki saw that his entire body had turned black and red, with dense scales covering his surface. His appearance was a bit like Venom in American comics.

Evil, violent, and terrifying.

clang--

Yuki raised his hand and slashed himself with a knife, and dazzling sparks burst out. The sparks remained in his red eyes, making Yuki laugh uncontrollably.

"The last shortcoming is finally filled!"

For a long time, he has been more focused on attack than defense, and using concept strengthening to solidify the energy released outwards is just a temporary measure. With the combination of the Insect Demon Armor and the Regeneration Tail, Yuki will become very difficult to kill, very, very difficult to kill.

[Player Yuuki, your overall rating has been adjusted to Monster IV]

The last hint was equivalent to a summary. Yuki was at the critical point. One more step forward would lead to epic. Among the countless players in the reincarnation game, there were not many high-level players, even "mechanical believers".

Swah——

With a swing of the long sword, the ground cracked. The texture brought by the power made his breathing heavy. It took several seconds to suppress this excitement.

I can't expand and have to keep moving forward. After all, I am different from ordinary players and I have many enemies.

He no longer took the day seriously. His real enemy was the reincarnation game, the thing that wanted to kill him under the red moon.

He felt that the shackles binding him were beginning to loosen, the hostility of the game remained, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to erase him.

"Let's clear this dungeon first. That Witch God should be epic, but I'm also strong enough to fight him. As for the other players, few of them can be my match."

The domain collapsed, and Yuki returned to the Shura Tower, seeing a group of people sitting motionless in a pool of blood, with the number of survivors reduced to 6.

There are still two soulless people and five mercenaries left. Looking at the dead ones, their bodies were almost beaten to pieces. It was obvious that they took the initiative to block the enemy's view.

They are a group of real men and it is a pleasure to work with them.

Yuki cast his admiration, but no one, including Rita, dared to look him in the eye.

This was a tower explorer who killed the witch spirit, which was beyond any recorded legend. And that realm was even more terrifying. No one who was included in it came out alive.

Sky Island City, is it so terrifying?

Even Philen held his breath. The battle just now was thrilling, but when he thought about it carefully, the powerful witch spirit had no right to resist from the beginning, and its fate had long been determined.

It would be understandable if Yuki crushed them, but it is precisely because the gap between the two sides is not that big that this ease becomes so scary.

Professional, efficient, and a natural player.

When his eyes came over, the girl bowed slightly in respect.

"I'm finally convinced, and I've finally passed the test." Yuki also completely accepted this comrade. As the senior said, if you want to integrate into the team, you have to trust yourself unconditionally.

Well then, let me take control of the tower and begin the next step of the plan.

Under the gaze, Yuki walked step by step towards the throne made of heads.

[Player Yuki, you have obtained the Shura Mark (not activated), and obtained all the permissions of the tower]

The prompt sounded, and hundreds of messages flashed before my eyes.

This mark represents an authority that will be usurped after his death. If anyone reaches the highest level and wants to sit on the throne, no matter where Yuki is, he will be automatically teleported back to accept the challenge.

It’s a very user-friendly setting, so I don’t have to worry about my home being robbed when I execute my plan.

Yuki nodded slightly, and under Rita's flickering gaze, he sat down solemnly.

The old king has passed away and the new king has ascended the throne.

The king tilted his head slightly, somewhat confused.

Why does this copy feel a lot easier?

......

Shura Tower, second floor.

The boundless sea of ​​blood washed over, bringing with it countless witch beasts. The burning sword cut through the blood waves, and out emerged countless sharp-toothed fish and a giant white shark.

The lion-like spirit beast immediately rushed forward and started to fight with the second-level wizard beast. At the same time, a black flash hit it from the side, and the magic-breaking bullets hit it, causing the wizard beast to let out an earth-shattering scream.

If he wasn't careful, Luan Honglian would get close to his face and blast the witch beast to pieces with an energy cannon, but the sharp-toothed fish that burst out from it made the spirit beast scream in pain.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

A burst of green light rain swept across, and the Gatling gun smashed all the sharp-toothed fish to pieces, freeing the spirit beast.

"Okay, let's go back to the first floor. If we continue fighting like this, we will lose people." Nanami Kento put down the still smoking machine gun, glanced around, and found that the team was not in good condition.

Aside from the hot-blooded idiot still battling the blood wave, everyone else was tired, and they were only halfway to the second floor.

"Is this what that guy said wasn't difficult?" Jianshan Huangquan caressed his spirit beast with heartache and pointed forward, "Look, the next layer of blood waves is coming again. I wonder what monsters are hiding in there this time."

"Because he holds the key, if we continue to force our way in, we'll suffer heavy losses. How will we then fight him for control?"

No one is willing to give up the benefits, but fighting also requires consideration of benefits. Do you want to run up exhausted and become cannon fodder for others?

"Retreat. Don't take the tower climbing reward. There's only one reinforcement point on the second floor. There's no need to fight so hard. We can hold the first floor for seven days without any problem."

He made a prompt decision. This time his mission was to reap the benefits. If he sent all his companions back, he would not be able to report to Senior Gojo.

Before the second wave of blood came, Nanami Kento was ready to start, but just when he turned halfway, his legs seemed to be stuck and could not move at all.

The blood wave disappeared. Yes, the floor that was roaring just now was suddenly calm, but no player was overjoyed. Instead, they were nervous.

As veteran players, we all know that something big is about to happen, something that is difficult for players to resist.

Sure enough, a figure appeared at the end of the horizon. He was walking very slowly, but each step was hundreds of meters. He was approaching rapidly in a flash, and a terrifying sense of oppression came towards him.

Nanami Kento raised his gun and felt his heart beating wildly, almost leaving Kyojuro behind while the others hurried out of the tower.

But he put down his gun again, because—

"Why is it him???" Huang Quan opened his mouth slightly. This man had black hair and black eyes, and was not good-looking. He was Li Dan whom he met on the first floor before.

It's not an illusion, and the tower is unlikely to show leniency. There is only one result.

"He controls the tower's authority. No wonder the blood waves disappeared." Nanami Kento breathed a sigh of relief, then became nervous again. "Kyojuro, don't act so eager. I don't want to be killed by you!"

The blond man, holding a long knife, stared at the man intently. After a long while, he said, "He's not hostile. He gives me a good feeling. Hmm, hmm, he should be a good person."

He is extremely dangerous, how can he still be considered a good person?

Nanami Kento was used to his companions' bad habit of jumping to conclusions, and he let out a breath.

"Okay, trust your dumbass instinct this time."

Interesting, he is worthy of being the Flame Pillar, his eyes are so big and his voice is so loud.

Yuki 'slowly' approached, and saw the legendary 'Flame Pillar' for the first time. Players like this would not change their hearts even if they were beaten badly by the reincarnation game.

He folded his arms and stared at her openly, neither humble nor arrogant, and was upright.

Being able to shatter a twenty-meter-long blood wave, its strength should be above Monster II, which is not weak.

Yuki didn't have a combat power detector, so he could only make a rough judgment, but he was sure that the other party was no match for him.

"Hello again, everyone from the Evil Extermination Team."

No one answered, or perhaps they didn't know what to say to a player who controlled the tower and could obviously keep them inside if they wanted, with no one able to leave.

"Are you Mr. Li?" The Flame Pillar was straightforward and didn't think too much of what others thought. He smiled and extended his right hand: "If there's a chance, I'd like to learn from you."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Nanami Kento started to exchange glances, while Yuki glanced at the Flame Pillar.

"why?"

"Because we agreed not to be enemies. We are friends even if we conquer the tower together. Besides, you are much stronger than me. Only by learning from the strong can I better protect the weak."

The voice was loud and clear, and he really took his oath to heart.

"I'll definitely spar with you if I get a chance, Kyojuro-san."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at Yuki's kindness, but then became nervous again.

"Hey, you know me?"

"In a certain copy, I worked with the hunters, and the enemy was none other than the 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade'. I know something about your camp." Yuuki decisively put the blame on Levi. Anyway, they couldn't verify it.

Yuki had mentioned this before, but at that time it was a strategy to build closer relations. Now that he was in an absolute advantage, he could add some chips.

"Have you killed ghosts too? Who were they?" Kyojuro asked curiously.

Yuki looked at the Flame Pillar meaningfully. This man was one of the rare players in the reincarnation game who could judge people by their appearance.

"One is called Qi Aza, his body is covered with green lines, and he loves to use fighting spirit. The other is called Zhenren, he's some kind of special cursed spirit, his abilities focus on the soul. Oh, and there's also a green ghost."

......

The expressions of the six players all changed. There was no need for a lie detector. Those evil spirits would leave no one alive once they fought. To be able to say it so clearly was definitely a real fight. Moreover, with the oppressive feeling given by this person, who would dare to say that he was bragging?

What did he do?

Nanami Kento remembered what Gojo Satoru said and felt gloating at the time, laughing at those idiots who had planned for so long but ended up suffering heavy losses.

It could only be him.

Jianshan Huangquan had no doubt that this man was too powerful, and even if the three of them joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him.

"Thanks. That upper-rank monster killed many of our companions both inside and outside the game. Now that the real one has returned alive, you'd better be careful, they will definitely take revenge." The Flame Pillar didn't think too much about it and immediately bowed ninety degrees.

"You have avenged our blood. Please come visit us when you return. In this instance, I will follow your lead."

It was so straightforward, so quick that Nanami Ken didn't have time to hold him back. I know you are very touched and excited, but you can't hand over the bottom line to others all of a sudden. How can you talk about business?

But he remembered his senior's words and did not stop him. Didn't Gojo Satoru want to find an ally to fight against the evil spirits? There was already one ready.

He is powerful and we have a common enemy. We have to find a way to drag him into the water. It would be a good idea to get closer to him first.

Yuki didn't know that the office slave had so many thoughts. He was slightly stunned. This was the first time he met someone who bowed down to him.

When he came to his senses, he realized the problem.

I definitely don't have any domineering aura. The Flame Pillar is too straightforward. And then look at that hesitant Nanami Kento...

Hundreds of ghosts are parading at night, the ghosts are strong and the people are weak. Oh, you want to find allies for help, and it just so happens that I offer myself to you.

This little trick could not be hidden from Yuki at all. He quickly modified his plan. Now he had the strength to step into the vortex of various camps, but his own troubles were even greater. It was hard to say who would drag whom into the water.

"It's a simple favor, but since we're destined to meet, it's easy to talk." Yuki paused and asked, "Why do you think there's hint number four?"

[Tip 4: Each camp can only choose one tower to enter. You can change the target. Tip 3 conditions will be reset.]

"It means we can't split our forces, it means retreating would be dangerous, and it means we can't just try anything." Nanami Kento was clearly the brains, and after seeing Yuki's expression, he made his final decision:

"This means that with the next phase of the collaboration, I think there will be a new battle for the towers."

"Smart! Players and plot characters in the same tower have locked themselves into an alliance. Combined with hint three, the conventional strategy given by the game should be for all forces entering a tower to cooperate." Yuki nodded approvingly. This elite office worker is indeed very intelligent.

"But you killed all your partners." The man looked helpless.

"Hahaha, I just took a different strategy route. Every player should be able to analyze the deeper meaning of hint two."

[Tip 2: Activating a sub-tower requires the approval of a witch spirit or relevant permissions. The witch spirit will automatically activate the tower at the appropriate time.]

Once the witch spirit is activated, all you have to do is replace it yourself. This is a dangerous route with huge rewards. Nanami Kento originally wanted to take this route, but gave up after trying it.

This requires absolute strength and the key must be mastered. Even if it is Yuki, without the help of the Soulless, he will most likely be exhausted when he faces the Witch Spirit.

"There's another way. Kill the Soulless and any player who dares to climb the tower, gain reputation, and get a chance to meet the Witch Spirit." Jianshan Huangquan interrupted, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he quickly waved his hand.

"Of course, this path requires special skills and timing, and in some ways is more difficult."

"Haha, anyway, we have Mr. Li to protect us from the wind and rain. Our first phase of the mission has been completed." Rengoku Kyojuro laughed heartily, and then his eyes were bright: "Tell me what your mission is, and we can sign a contract."

Cross-faction contracts, these people are quite rich.

Seeing Kento Nanami's speechless expression, Yuki did not make things difficult for them. To be on the safe side, he still signed the contract.

The two parties agreed to form an alliance in this copy, not to take any hostile actions, not to explore each other's secrets, and to gain benefits based on their own abilities. If anyone violates the agreement, the contract will be terminated immediately.

【Contract reached】
