Chapter 246: The Battle for Godhood Begins, Damage Is Transferred, and the Soul Eater Is Eliminated
"I'm surprised, you must have heard about my death."
In the outer area of Fengxi City, in the living room of Li Feng's house.
Shadows emerged from the dark night, bringing with them puffs of mist, as if imperceptibly. The mist ate away at the colors in the room, and even the lights turned into black and white.
At this moment, in the center of the fluffy mist, there were ripples that looked like substance, and the skeleton-like Mathas stepped out slowly.
His hunched body, withered legs and feet, and heavy robes stirred up the mist around him, and his voice followed the overflowing mist and reached Li Feng's ears:
"Today the whole city and even the entire Endless Sea are celebrating my death, but you didn't expect that I am still alive and came here late at night."
Mathas couldn't hide his pride and excitement in his words. From his point of view, he successfully faked his death today. With an extremely lifelike fake corpse, he deceived everyone.
And his situation of hiding in XZ and being rounded up everywhere for decades finally came to an end today.
Thinking of those who wanted him, the Black and White Institute, the Violet Eye, the Ring of the Earth...
Today, through Governor Fell's eyes, Mathas sees their ignorant celebration.
Those humble humans who have no godhead and are not players rejoiced after learning about their death, but Mathas knew that in the near future...
After he obtains his complete godhead and becomes a level three player, he will one by one repay his revenge for being wanted everywhere for decades.
Half of the godhead can repair his body and create a corpse that can perfectly deceive many leaders of forces, but what about the complete godhead...
Mathas smiled when he thought of this. The system is really a good thing. It will give prompts and he will give rewards.
So today's trip, from this player named Lai Yin or Li Feng, to find out the whereabouts of the other half of the godhead, and to get that half of the godhead again, is of milestone significance to Mathas.
Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Mathas knew that his real life, the life of turning ambition into reality, was beginning from this moment.
"Ha-isn't it very stupid?"
Seeing Li Feng just sitting silently without even speaking a word, Mathas thought he was pretending to be calm.
After all, even if a second-level hunter comes from another world, has different insights, and has mysterious methods, what can he do?
Not wanting to waste time and words, Mathas stood aloof, as if he were a prey waiting to be slaughtered, disdainfully explaining his purpose and making a quick decision.
He hoped that Li Feng would cooperate wisely. Of course, if he didn't cooperate, Mathas felt that he would be happier.
However, just when Mathas was about to speak, he heard Li Feng, who had been sitting on the main seat of the sofa, smile calmly:
"Actually, you can do better."
"What?"
Li Feng's inconsistent words made Mathas confused:
"Better, what do you mean?"
"I know you only got half of the godhead, but for non-players, the ability of half the godhead is powerful enough.
But you actually used this ability to tightly forge a corpse to deceive people. The ins and outs and killing process were all based on your dictation, which is really a bad idea. "
When Li Feng said this, he sighed slightly and chuckled indifferently:
"Now that you have become a player, of course you must use various conditions to let non-players witness, experience, and guess with their own eyes. Only in this way will they be truly convinced."
Still sitting relaxedly on the sofa, Li Feng looked at Mathas standing at the door with a calm expression. He deliberately used a posture to teach younger players.
But teaching newcomers was definitely not Li Feng's original intention. He was just stalling for time.
From the corner of my eye, I could see the brass clock on the fireplace. It was now 11:40 pm.
Mathas, who has half a godhead, has already come to the door, and in his body, there should be Governor Feier's soul.
But for Li Feng, as long as he delays for another 20 minutes, he and the opponent will be evenly matched.
On the other side, after hearing Li Feng's even somewhat regretful teachings, Mathas opened his slightly narrowed eyes, feeling angry and shocked in his heart.
Moreover, Li Feng's words just now made him understand what happened yesterday about the arrival of the two gods.
'Knew it--'
Mathas secretly gritted his teeth. When he sealed the lava lord's cocoon in the square yesterday, the arrival of the Mother Goddess of Weaving and the Goddess of Hunting was indeed a lie made by this player.
As for letting non-players witness it with their own eyes, experience it themselves, and make shocking guesses...
Mathas recalled what he had heard about the experiences of the extraordinary beings from the three major forces yesterday.
'Ah! Deceiving non-players, this person actually did it. ’
Mathas frowned. He thought that yesterday and today, he and Lai Ying had lied about one thing.
And it just so happened that the three major forces that were deceived were the Violet Eye, the Black and White Institute, and the Ring of the Earth.
But to be fair, in terms of the results of being deceived, the lies created by Lai Yin are obviously more effective and have a more far-reaching impact.
‘So, he wasn’t pretending to be profound just now and just said it casually, he really did it. ’
Unwilling anger and jealousy filled his body, but that was not the end of it. Mathas also heard something else from Li Feng's words just now.
Although Mathas was not quite used to being a player and lacked player thinking, he still thought of it slowly.
The trigger task given by the system should not only be received by myself, but also by Lai Yin.
And just like his mission, the system also clearly told him that he and Penros Fair used the forbidden spell soul fusion, and they were both Level 2 players.
Otherwise, this Laiyin will not use the word "you" accurately.
The system was not on his side, which made Mathas feel a lot of disappointment.
However, since the system wants them to fight, it must be based on strength.
Without saying anything more about the thoughts in his mind, Mathas laughed:
"Now that you know everything, you don't have to waste my breath."
He took a step forward as he spoke, with all his strength ready to go out, and then asked with a sharp tone in his voice:
"Now, tell me where is the other half of the godhead?"
There was no response or movement. Li Feng just sat there and looked at Mathas indifferently.
He needs to get the other person closer.
Sure enough, seeing Li Feng's uncooperative attitude, Mathas prepared to attack.
He subconsciously took a step forward, and suddenly a strong wind as sharp as a knife blew up from where he was, and the strong wind circled around Mathas.
Every ounce of wind that touched him turned into a sharp knife and pierced him.
Waving his arms, Mathas used the Soul Eater's ability, Shadow Skin. Suddenly, a thick black film appeared on his body where the skin was attached.
When the piercing wind encountered the thick black film, it was directly sucked into it, protecting Mathas from harm.
"Hey, boy, you are indeed more than the second level."
Being in the barrier of the Wall of Wind and Mist, Mathas can feel the strength of the person who arranged the barrier.
If this barrier was only set up by a second-level transcendent, Mathas, a fifth-level person, would be able to break it in an instant.
But.
Feeling the damage resisted by the Shadow Skin, Mathas realized that Li Feng's strength was actually on par with him.
It is actually an existence that has broken through the fifth level.
Another anger rose from the bottom of my heart.
'How can it be! How can it be! The extraordinary road to promotion to the fifth level has long been cut off, and the chief dean is only in the fourth level and ninth level.
In order to break through to the fifth level, he and Governor Fehr did not hesitate to use forbidden techniques, which not only cost a huge price, but also caused all kinds of trouble.
But this man, without even the slightest hint of any forbidden technique being used, managed to break through to the fifth level.
Is it just because he is a player? Just because he became a player earlier than me? ’
Feelings of dissatisfaction, unwillingness, and resentment resurfaced, and Mathas had the idea of killing Li Feng after the matter was over.
At this moment, the Skin of Shadow was absorbing the damage caused by the Wall of Wind and Mist. Mathas walked through the barrier and looked at where Li Feng was sitting, only to find that the sofa was empty and no one was there.
The next moment, Mathas suddenly became alert. His skeleton-like body quickly turned around, his hands formed sharp claws, and he swung behind him.
The howling wind drowned out the sound of the gunfire. When Marsus was trapped by the wall of wind and mist and his attention was diverted, Li Feng used the invisible ability to travel through shadow and came behind him.
Immediately afterwards, he raised the flint and fired directly through the wall of wind and mist.
But Mathas, who is also at the fifth level and has half a godhead, can only react faster than Li Feng.
In the flash of lightning, just as the bullet flew out and was only an arm's length away from Mathas, Mathas suddenly turned around, wrapped the bullet in the sleeve of his robe, and threw it aside.
Without pausing, a gloomy dark purple pyramid flew out of Mathas's hand. The pyramid dragged a long tail and shot towards Li Feng at the speed of a bullet.
Knowing that he was no better than Mathas, who had half a godhead, Li Feng did not dare to take the challenge head-on.
He used the hunter's ability space to escape and immediately disappeared. When he reappeared, he was behind the partition near the fireplace in the living room, which was the location designated by Li Feng in advance.
The hunter's ability to escape from space requires the user to specify a location in advance. As long as the user is within a certain range of the designated location and uses this ability, he can immediately return to the designated location.
Unlike the invisible person's shadow travel, space escape requires a designated location, so it has greater limitations in escaping danger.
But he doesn't need a shadow to activate it. Under certain conditions where there is a lack of shadow, it is actually better than shadow shuttle.
But at this time, Li Feng was not because of lack of shadow. Under Mathas's gaze, Li Feng did not want to expose the fact that he was still a hidden person prematurely.
Although he was only at level 2 as a concealer, he was discovered too early. During the fight, Mathas, who was experienced in combat, would have been on guard after all.
Mathas was originally a hidden member of the Black and White Institute, but in order to gain more power, Mathas betrayed the Black and White Institute, became an Abyss Roller, and embarked on the path of a Soul Eater.
Although Mathas gave up the path of the hidden person, he still has the strength of the third-level hidden person.
Tonight he emerged from the shadows and thick fog, using the ability of the third-level concealer.
Therefore, Li Feng understood that it was best not to expose himself too early, otherwise with Martha's familiarity with the Hidden One, he would be easily prejudged by him no matter what.
"Hehehe - hunters are indeed masters of escape."
Seeing Li Feng dodge his attack, Mathas laughed contemptuously:
"You still have help, I know you want to delay, but it's time to end, let's change places."
Mathas said as he held up his hands, black and red blood flowed from his hands. Then, the mist that had long filled the room suddenly seemed to respond and turned into black and red blood:
"See the power of the forbidden magic you hate."
As Marsas' voice fell, the whole room was filled with mist, the scene was illusory, and everything seemed to be covered with layers of water waves.
Under the stirring of unknown forces, the layers of water waves rippled and spread out in circles.
The next moment, when the surrounding scene took shape again, it was already full of charred ruins, and it was obvious that the location had changed.
Earlier, when Governor Fell and Marsas received the task of finding the other half of the godhead through Li Feng.
They guessed that Li Feng might have helpers around him.
So the two of them discussed and Marsas came forward to use his forbidden spell to teleport Li Feng to the basement of Storm's End.
[Recommended, the book is really useful, you can download it here and try it quickly. ]
Suddenly entering an unfamiliar environment, Li Feng would certainly find it difficult to quickly notify his people.
Even if he could, it would take time for his people to arrive, and in battle, time is the most precious thing.
Moreover, the Governor had already asked Lannis to bring heavy troops to guard Storm's End in advance, and be wary of anyone and any extraordinary spells.
Thus, Li Feng was alone, and this was a two-on-one battle. Moreover, the Governor and Marsas also possessed half a godhood and could use three kinds of extraordinary spells at the same time.
In addition, even if something unexpected happened, there were Lannis and a large number of soldiers outside the castle of Storm's End.
Even if Li Feng ran away like the sturdy player, he would not be able to escape.
Having let a player go and made a mistake once, Governor Fell would not make the same mistake again.
The stuffy air from the lack of ventilation, mixed with the endless smell of burnt lake, entered his nose. Li Feng saw the surrounding scenery clearly and roughly understood Marsas's intention.
Without saying anything more, Li Feng raised the flint and shot at Marsas at the fastest speed.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Li Feng actually didn't care about the result. He just wanted to use the terrain immediately after suppressing Marsas and enter the countless broken walls and ruins.
However, in the dim light, Li Feng was surprised to find that Marsas did not roll away the bullets as he did just now.
He let the bullets open a bloody hole in his body, and then gradually began to grin:
"Hahaha - Hunter, even if you are promoted to the fifth level, you still don't have a godhead, and you don't know the function of a godhead at all."
As Marsas spoke, Li Feng clearly saw that the bloody hole on his chest caused by the bullet was actually healing on its own.
"How can a mortal kill a god?"
At the same time, Marsas' voice sounded again:
"Even if I only have half a godhead, I can control the laws to repair my body.
And you, a mortal with only mortal power, can't hurt me at all."
'It turns out that even if I have half a godhead, I have this ability. '
Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Feng understood in his heart.
Now, he needs to delay as much time as possible.
While Marsas was still proud of himself, Li Feng quickly flashed into the jungle of broken wall stone pillars.
In extraordinary battles, although they don't play a particularly big role, they can more or less block the line of sight and play a certain delaying role.
Open the countdown for the end of the system cycle. It doesn't take much. Just delay it for another 15 minutes, and then...
Li Feng calculated like this, but suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew around him, and Marsas appeared beside him, and a dry and hoarse voice sounded:
"Don't struggle, tell me the whereabouts of the other half of the godhead!"
Marsas, who is also a soul eater, a hidden person, and masters various forbidden spells, is indeed like a shadow and difficult to get rid of.
The black and red forbidden spell light shone again, and Li Feng immediately used space to escape again, changing his position to the escape position he just re-designated.
'It can only be like this. '
Marsas with half a godhead is indeed difficult to deal with. This is the difference between having a godhead and not having one.
Li Feng had no choice but to take a risk.
He took out a small bottle from his backpack, and while getting rid of Marsas, Li Feng drank the lucky potion first.
Seeing that Li Feng used space to escape again, Marsas refused to give in, and he grinned and used shadow shuttle.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the originally dark basement was full of shadows.
In this scenario, the shadow shuttle of the Hidden One is naturally stronger than the space escape of the Hunter.
So the next moment, Masas arrived in an instant.
Seeing Li Feng, he was about to attack again, but at the same time, Masas felt his eyebrows stagnate.
As a Hidden One, he naturally understood this spell, which was the damage transfer of the Hidden One.
He was slightly stunned, and Masas was surprised to think, could it be that Lai Yin was also a Hidden One.
‘Both hunters and Hidden Ones, huh. ’
Masas was contemptuous in his heart, so what if he was a Hidden One, and so what if he could use damage transfer.
Although his body was affected by the taboo spell, the body transformed by the taboo spell also had powerful power.
Damage transfer? But it would be greatly reduced.
While Masas was thinking this in his heart and preparing to launch an attack without any care, Li Feng felt stable in his heart, and his damage transfer spell was successfully released.
Then what's next.
Li Feng drank the whole bottle of sea blue purification potion in one gulp, and the cool feeling instantly flowed to his throat.
But the miraculous thing was that the cool potion disappeared in his throat. Under the damage transfer spell, Li Feng did not really drink the potion.
On the other side, Masas, who was confident, suddenly felt a cool feeling passing through his esophagus.
The next moment, the coolness fell into his stomach, and then suddenly spread throughout his body. He felt that the dry and withered flesh and blood all over his body had been soaked in the coolness.
‘This is! This is! This! ’
Masas felt his withered muscles grow and his dry skin regain elasticity in horror.
But at the same time, he also felt that the extraordinary power in his body was pouring out like a river bursting its banks.
“No! No! No!”
He could use the power of the divine nature to repair the damage caused by the bullet, but he could not repair the power of the potion that purified the forbidden spell and healed the damage to his body.
Because the purification potion itself was healing his body.
But what was the price!
In the dark and dim basement, in just a moment, Masas lost his extraordinary power and became a real mortal.
What frightened him even more was that with the absence of the extraordinary power, he could no longer feel the half of the divine nature in his body.
