Chapter 438: Newcomer Trial Ends
Obviously,

The top players at Moonlight Tavern eventually put their chips on Snake.

People like Captain Levi from the world of giants, the unlicensed knight from an unknown other world, and the Holy Lord who attempted to challenge [Lotos] are no longer within the consideration of top players.

Originally, everyone was optimistic about the Holy Lord, who should be able to compete with Ying Zheng for the championship in the standings.

But the Holy Lord was determined to have a fight with Lotus.

It was a terrifying monster in a weak state, with various seals on it and at the peak of its [Second Order] strength. It was no different from seeking death.

So I can only come down in order,
Add chips to the second strongest snake.

This also resulted in the visible growth of the points of the Snake, like a snowball. He continued to open game props from the treasure chest, arm himself, and hunt those evil monsters.

The rest of the players were reluctant.

"Asshole, it's a deep sea monster, with seawater abilities stronger than the water demon Basha, and mental attacks that surpass the Curse Blue..."

The Holy Lord looked a little embarrassed.
He has already opened the game props in the treasure chest to restore his body. Although he has not been able to fully restore his peak strength, at least he can move freely.

But as his strength was unlocked, he felt unprecedented pressure.

[Lotos]'s strength seems to be much stronger than imagined.

hula.

The Holy Lord raised his sturdy arm in dragon form, with a chain tightly wrapped around his wrist.

[Magic Sealing Bracelet (Level 2)]: A bracelet that can seal magic power.

Originally, this thing was used for confinement.

However, the Holy Lord took it and directly sealed the statue seal that Lu Dongbin had reinforced on him, and finally escaped.

However, Lu Dongbin's strength was so strong that the [Demon Sealing Bracelet] could only barely seal a part of the opponent's remaining magic power.

So even though they escaped from trouble, their strength did not recover to its peak.

Moreover, the twelve talismans containing his power are lost all over the world. Only by getting those complete talismans back can he become the strongest.

"Wait, Rotus. The Fire Demon's majesty cannot be challenged. I will come back to you when I regain my full strength!"

The Holy Lord uttered harsh words with hatred.

Even if he could sense it, even in his strongest form, he would still be no match for Rotus, but he just kept talking tough.

at this time,

He has reached the deepest part of the Sky Curtain Beast, the ruins of the temple at the [First Spine], and sensed a super-giant black octopus.

[Lotus's pet, black octopus (Lord level)].

"I will first take the interest for your disrespect to the Fire Demon and kill your pet!"

The Holy Lord looked at the black octopus with envy. If he could hunt down this monster, would it drop a treasure chest of higher quality?

……

Levi was covered in blood and his arm was broken, but he recovered after drinking a recovery potion.

Behind them were the corpses of countless cat demons and minotaurs.

A treasure chest fell and he opened it quickly and neatly.

[Ogre Soul (Material)]: The main material for making [Berserker Potion]. You also need to collect Vengeance Soul Stone and small red crystals. After drinking the complete potion, you can be transferred to [Berserker].

Tip: To find the Soul Stone of Vengeance, you need to go to the Dark Thunder Ruins.

"Boring. Berserker... From the name, it sounds like the kind of guy who will definitely get covered in blood when fighting."

Levi said he hated it, but his body moved, looking for the Dark Thunder Ruins mentioned in the game prompt.

Although he had experienced the destruction of the world, he did not have any extreme reaction.

But the free will to lead the world away from being controlled by others is unprecedentedly high.

sizzle...

Strands of cold air flowed into my chest through my collar.

Levi looked serious and looked around vigilantly.

Roar.

A red zombie jumped out of the lush jungle, swung its claws, and a ball of black energy flew towards Levi.

The two swords crossed and chopped the black ball into pieces.

Levi was like an arrow shot from a bow. After shooting out the hook, the traction force accelerated him and he cut off the back of the red zombie's neck with one stroke.

Looking at the fallen red zombie, he did not let down his guard.

Because monsters like these always appear in groups.

Dozens of zombies stumbled out, smelled the scent of living people, and pounced in Levi's direction.

Levi was about to take action when he suddenly realized something was wrong and jumped up quickly.

But it was too late.
Suddenly, low-temperature cold air condensed at the soles of his feet, like an ice bomb, trying to blow his legs apart.

Fortunately, I took action in advance and managed to freeze my left calf.

boom.

Levi used the handle of the knife to break the ice, pulled out his frozen left leg, and quickly moved on one leg.

In the past, if the legs were frozen, the person would immediately lose the ability to move.

Fortunately, a lot of game props that can enhance physical fitness were opened in the previous treasure chest, allowing him to have recovery ability comparable to some of the original giants.

"That is... the monster that can drop the Soul Stone of Vengeance?"

Levi's pupils suddenly shrank and he saw clearly the murderer who attacked him.

A zombie with its flesh rotting and falling off, leaving only skinny bones. It was surrounded by an icy aura, and even its bones and remaining rotten flesh were an extreme blue.

Holding a huge sickle in his hand.

Every time the sickle was swung, it brought up gusts of cold air, freezing the air to the point of exploding.

[Corpse Snatcher: Bone Prison (Lord Level)]

"Survey Corps, never retreat!"

Levi took a deep breath, gripped his swords tightly, and rushed towards the monster.

……

[The newcomer trial ends...]

When the countdown ended, all the newcomers were teleported back to the square of the game town and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Some of them were laughing wildly, as if they had gained a lot of benefits, while others were frowning, and it was obvious that they were so scared by the monsters that they did not hunt at all, but hid somewhere to pass the time of the rookie trial.

【Rankings (Newcomers)】

Snake: 380 points, Ying Zheng: 350 points, Holy Lord: 330 points, Levi: 276 points...

Tip: The top five newcomers in the standings will be awarded a special item, the title of [Newcomer King], issued by the game merchant.

Tip 2: Wear the title of [Rookie King], and you can buy all [First-level] items at a % discount (for personal use only), and they cannot be traded.

"Damn it."

Mei Terumi looked unhappy. Although she had expected the result, she was still very unhappy.

The title of [Rookie King] is also one of the reasons why various forces want to recruit newcomers. It allows you to purchase items from various game towns at a 10% discount. Although it cannot be traded, it is equivalent to shortening the time and money required to train the player in disguise.

[The player being bet on will be automatically teleported to [Moonlight Tavern]...]

Whoosh whoosh.

A teleportation light appeared.

All the players who were betting came to the second floor of the Moonlight Tavern and faced the top players directly.

Levi said unhappily, "Betting, a game similar to that played by the nobles, really bad."

Before the destruction of the giant world, I heard that the nobles within the core wall would play some games in a despicable way.

Therefore, he had no liking for this kind of game.

"You think too shallowly."

Tsunade shook her head with a serious expression and said, "All of this is to better select excellent and potential players to fight against the polluted world."

This is indeed the original intention of game merchants, and making money is just a secondary reason.

"Humans, you actually dare to bet on the devil. This is really a suicidal act."

The Holy Lord was not polite at all. His huge body almost touched the ceiling of the Moonlight Tavern.

He lowered his head and looked at the human ants that he had once ruled, who were actually looking at him with an indifferent smile.

"Don't be angry, it's just a game, and I have no intention of recruiting you."

Aizen smiled gently, not at all disturbed by the provocation of the demon wizard.

demon?

It’s a very strange life. I wonder if it can resist its own illusions?
