I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

Fortunately, she increased the output of her supernatural power and managed to stabilize the situation.

"Cough—" A mouthful of blood mist was spat out.

This was the first time she had lost HP due to running out of MP.

Taking out an item to replenish his health bar, Zhu Yu realized that although both Verlaine and Chuuya possessed the ability to "manipulate gravity," his ability was stronger than Chuuya's.

She can now at least hold her own against Chuuya, but she struggles against Verlaine.

Wiping the bloodstains from her lips with the back of her hand, she leaped up, stepping on the wildly growing fern leaves, rushing towards Verlaine like riding a green wave.

If ranged attacks don't work, we'll have to try close combat.

Zhu Yu approached like a shooting star, throwing a heavy punch at his side of the face. He dodged to the side, grabbed Zhu Yu's wrist with his other hand, and used the force to throw him off balance.

The attack went out of control in an instant, and she was thrown into the air.

In the weightlessness, Zhu Yu clenched her fist suddenly, and the branches below her suddenly grew longer, transforming into a flexible vine net that caught her just as she was about to crash into the building's exterior wall.

Gravity is such a bug...

In a life-or-death battle, there is no such thing as gentlemanly conduct. Verlaine immediately lunged forward, his hand, still blurring, aimed straight for Zhu Yu's throat.

At the critical moment, Zhu Yu suddenly equipped the "Holy Sword of Physics" from his backpack. The staff taut as steel, cutting through the air with a whooshing sound to block the fatal blow.

"This is..." His pupils shrank, staring incredulously at the ordinary black stick.

Under his immense pressure, all objects would be twisted and deformed, yet this stick seemed to defy the rules, steadily blocking his attack that carried the force of a thousand pounds.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhu Yu spun around and swung his staff, which brought with it a sharp gust of wind.

He stumbled backward to avoid the attack, but before he could regain his footing, the stick flashed like a venomous snake, each strike aimed straight for his vital points.

Zhu Yu, who was initially at a disadvantage, is now showing signs of gaining the upper hand over Verlaine.

As expected of a weapon she bought at great expense, it's not very useful against weak enemies, but now that she's faced a boss like Verlaine, it finally has a chance to prove its worth.

The last time I used it was against a troublesome ability user who could distort space...

“Interesting…” Verlaine’s voice deepened, each word seemingly ground out from between his teeth, carrying a chilling murderous intent.

Having adapted to the opponent's attack rhythm, Verlaine calmly dodged the blow, took a step, and the ground beneath his feet instantly collapsed by half, successfully disrupting Zhu Yu's attack.

His pupils contracted with excitement, and a near-pleasant smile curved his lips: "Let me see just how far you can go..."

Chapter 93 Players Grit Their Teeth

If Zhu Yu were to describe it, it would be like this: the BOSS enters an "excited" state, and its attack power increases significantly.

Having narrowly dodged Verlaine's punch, Zhu Yu really wanted to say: "High-level bosses are forbidden from bullying poor players!"

Her physical skills had been trained to the point of "Mastery of Physical Skills," but after exchanging blows with Verlaine, she realized that his skills were on par with his superpowers. In the game system, this would be considered "Legendary in Physical Skills."

They're even missing a "master of physical combat" among them.

With each movement, he could accurately pinpoint the enemy's weaknesses, and with the enhancement of his gravity ability, his physical attacks became even more devastating and domineering.

He seized the opportunity to grab the stick, used the momentum to flip himself up, and slammed his knee heavily into Zhu Yu's abdomen.

In a battle that changes in an instant, sometimes the outcome can be reversed by just one move.

Zhu Yu staggered backward, his back slamming into the broken wall, while he stepped closer on the swirling rubble, each step causing the ground to crack in a spiderweb pattern.

His figure suddenly turned into a blur.

Just as Zhu Yu stood up and raised her crowbar to block, he suddenly appeared and slammed his knee into her shoulder at a tricky angle.

Before Zhu Yu could react, his elbow slammed into the top of her head like a pickaxe.

She leaned back to avoid him, but he grabbed her by the neck and slammed her hard against the ground. Her back hit the broken tiles, and her spine felt like it was about to break.

My temples throbbed, and blood dripped from my eyelashes into my mouth.

Zhu Yu thought casually: Luckily, I turned off the pain sensor first, otherwise I would have been in excruciating pain.

【HP-887】【HP-889】......

My health bar was rapidly decreasing, my vision was blurring, and my life was slipping away like sand in an hourglass. My status bar was filled with debuffs such as "Weak" and "Excessive Blood Loss".

He doesn't even have the strength to take out his healing items now.

It has to be reopened again...

But as he turned his back, preparing to destroy the plant cocoon, a surge of burning anger ignited instantly. Zhu Yu, who had originally intended to lie down and wait for the timer to reset, used his special ability one last time before his health bar was depleted.

[Beep! Superpower development level +1]

In an instant, the dark purple vines, like tentacles crawling out of hell, with sharp barbs and corrosive slime, wrapped around his ankles with lightning speed.

This time, the vines have acquired a level of corrosivity never before seen.

Verlaine turned around in astonishment. Before gravity could fully take effect, the vines had already begun to climb wildly up his calves, instantly corroding patches of charred wounds.

"Cough... It's not over yet..." she coughed up the bloody words with difficulty, using up her last bit of strength.

The vines coiled around his neck like venomous snakes, and her vision was finally plunged into complete darkness.

“......￥%*Don’t......” She vaguely heard someone calling her from afar.

[Player has died. Please select: Reload/Resurrect]

In the instant of her death, she found herself in a completely dark space, with only the white light from the screen in front of her shining through.

Zhu Yuzhen wanted to point to herself and ask in confusion: Me, fight Verlaine?

I finally managed to level up to Lv.63 after a lot of hard work, but I still got completely crushed. Damn it!

Zhu Yu was so angry that she punched the air, pretending that she was hitting Verlaine.

After calming down, she chose to—[load save].

When Verlaine first appeared, she quickly saved a file, fearing that if things went wrong, it would take a long time to recover from the previous plot.

I'm grateful for my caution (hands clasped together)

A white light flashed before his eyes, and he was transported back to the moment when Verlaine had just revealed his identity.

This time, Zhu Yu struck first, giving the other party no chance to say anything, and secretly grabbed behind her back with her left hand—

"Pfft-"

Suddenly, dark purple thorns sprouted from the soles of Verlaine's feet, their surface oozing a highly toxic sap, and instantly wrapped around his calves.

When the corrosive liquid came into contact with the suit fabric, it immediately emitted a pungent blue smoke.

Under her full urging, the thorns clung to him like a malignant tumor, their sharp barbs digging deep into his flesh, and corrosive venom seeping into the wounds.

Verlaine's expression changed abruptly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before he frowned deeply: "I underestimated you."

The thorns that were wrapped around him began to twist, deform, and shatter under the powerful gravity.

However, the toxins on the thorns had already seeped into his skin, and his blood vessels immediately showed hideous dark green lines that spread towards his heart like a spider web.

Verlaine's attack visibly faltered, and his breathing became rapid.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhu Yu struck the other man's leg bone with a crowbar. The cracking sound of the bone breaking was very clear. Verlaine knelt down on one knee and let out a muffled groan.

"You think... this is enough to take me down?" His voice was low and hoarse, and a dangerous smile appeared on his lips.

The serpentine lines on her skin stood out starkly against her fair complexion, like a black rose in full bloom, both eerie and alluring.

The poison was clearly still affecting his movements, but... terrifyingly, even with the [Poisoned] debuff, he was still able to fight Zhu Yu on equal terms, relying on his combat instincts.

Zhu Yu: I'm so weak (faints)

Verlaine was clearly aware of the difference between Zhu Yu and him in physical skills, so he deliberately increased the frequency of his attacks, forcing her to have no time to unleash her special abilities or replenish her health.

The screen went black, and the player lost again.

"Well done, Verlaine," a player gritted his teeth.

Reload the save file again.

This time, Zhu Yu adjusted her strategy, inflicting the opponent with the mental confusion debuffs of [Poison], [Confusion], and [Stun] first.

The petals unfold layer by layer, releasing a sweet, almost intoxicating aroma.

Verlaine's brain was as if it had been soaked in honey, and his thinking became sluggish and chaotic.

Seeing that the other party had stopped moving and their gaze was unfocused.

Taking advantage of his illness, Zhu Yu quickly grabbed a crowbar and banged on it several times.

Great, the opponent's health bar has finally been reduced by more than half.

The fragrance of the flowers grew stronger, and pain and confusion tugged at each other repeatedly, as if I were in a crystal-clear, fragile bubble, my thoughts drifting and chaotic.

Verlaine's eyes, which had been unfocused like mist, suddenly sharpened into a needle-like glint when Zhu Yu delivered the decisive blow!

Zhu Yu knew he had broken free of her mental control, and she abruptly stepped back, only to see Verlaine's bloodstained hand gripping her wrist like an iron clamp—

His right arm twisted into an eerie angle in an instant, and the bones emitted a tooth-grinding groan under the terrifying gravity.

[Player has died. Please select: Reload/Resurrect]

? ? !

Zhu Yu remained silent, then laughed angrily, and finally opened the online store to go on a shopping spree.

Buy, buy, buy! If not now, when?

One frugal player commented: "Even with players' skillful movement, we can't defeat this overpowered boss!"

Having swept away all the useful items in the mall, Zhu Yu, now equipped with a completely new set of weapons, announced—she was off!

Chapter 94 Crazy, completely crazy!

——【Load Save File】

Zhu Yu, who had lost everything, looked ferocious. As soon as he saw Verlaine, he raised his crowbar and pointed it at him menacingly.

He shouted, "Die, Verlaine!"

Die, you NPC who bankrupts players!

That damned Verlaine, players will never call you brother again!

Fueled by the grief of bankruptcy and aided by powerful props, Zhu Yu quickly pinned Verlaine to the ground and gave him a sound beating.

Refreshing!

This time, Verlaine hadn't even fully broken free of the mind control before he was forced into the ground, and countless fragments of memories exploded in his mind: the cold laboratory, the tiny figure floating in the nutrient tank, a smiling person walking towards him with a hat...

He was in a daze for a moment, and murmured softly: "Your hatred, your numbness... You, the night without resentment or hatred."

The wind stopped.

Immediately afterwards, energy began to surge—invisible ripples trembled in the void, like a mirror shattered by a pebble, the air twisting and folding.

Verlaine opened the "door".

Black particles appeared around him, as if the space itself had been scorched, and his vision distorted and collapsed.

More dazzling than daylight, more violent than thunder, it ignited the polluted world completely.

A black sphere appears, and space distorts.

Zhu Yu was only a few steps away from him, and there was no way to avoid him.

【drop--】

[Player has died. Please select: Reload/Resurrect]

Zhu Yu: ...I'm reporting someone for cheating! Why was Verlaine able to activate his second form?!

Madness, utter madness!

The player's armor was piled up as thick as a tortoise shell, yet he was still instantly killed. Just how high is his second form's damage?
