Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

"Ahem.

Suddenly, Emiya coughed out streaks of blood from his throat.

However, this blood was not the normal red, but dyed a deep black.

"Haha... It seems that using this kind of sword will indeed cost me a lot!"

Emiya looked at the black blood on his hands and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

Click! Click!

At this moment, the lotus border began to break inch by inch.

Within the Lotus Sword Formation, the skinny old man's body was struggling out bit by bit.

Waves of deathly energy erupted from his sunken pupils.

However, the blade of the bone sword had begun to shatter.

Just like nothing can withstand the decay of time, it will eventually disappear.

"What a terrible guy!"

"Even the Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Formation can't trap the sword in your hand..."

Emiya's pupils reflected the deep darkness, but in the center of the darkness, the bone sword seemed to become clearer. Gradually, the darkness spread to the outermost edge of the pupils, as if only this bone sword was left. The sword remained in his consciousness.

The next second, extremely majestic data appeared in Emiya's pupils.

This torrent of data came from all directions and completely submerged the bone sword.

It was as if he wanted to use his mortal body to glimpse the sword controlled by the gods.

Boom! ! !

Suddenly, a terrifying wave of energy erupted from Emiya's body, and his whole body glowed with that faint blue light.

At this moment, the sword in his hand disappeared.

But another, even brighter light slowly condensed on his right hand.

A brand new sword gradually condenses in an illusory form...

However, the light surrounding this sword is dim gray, as if there will never be a day when the condensation is completed...

Puff puff!

The blood vessels all over Emiya's body began to burst open.

Black blood spurted out from various parts of his body...

But there was no fluctuation in that stern face.

He slowly raised his head, staring at the figure of the skinny old man with sharp and firm eyes like an eagle... No, to be precise, it should be the sword in his hand.

At this moment, in Emiya's eyes, it seemed as if there was only that sword left in the world, everything else had disappeared, and only this sword remained forever.

"I forged this sword from bones..."

A low chant came from his mouth.

The next second...

In the ultimate light, the gray light seemed to be injected with a new vitality, suddenly bursting out with magical brilliance.

In an instant, countless light particles, carrying the calls of people from the past, seemed to be injected into the bone sword at the same time, helping him to forge the sword.

The brilliance overflowed, and the ultimate light burst out, carrying terrifying energy, turning into a strong wind, setting off huge waves thousands of feet high on the surface of this sea of ​​dead bodies.

When the huge wave of bones gradually fades away...

There is already an extra sword in Emiya's hand!

The second bone sword!

The bone sword was exactly the same as the bone sword in the hand of the skinny old man.

However, this bone sword is no longer illusory, and there are no longer even cracks.

The hand holding the sword hilt has suddenly turned into withered bones...

Looking up, the master holding the sword hilt has transformed from a young man in his prime into an old man with silver hair.

It's hard to imagine... Emiya, who looked like he was only in his early twenties before, has now become so old in the blink of an eye.

He was like an old man in his old age, mechanically waving the sword light in his hand.

Cutting towards the skinny old man...

This sword is weak and weak, and it is swung so slowly that some old ladies over eighty years old may not be able to stand it...

But with just such a sword, when it was swung out, the entire space and time around it seemed to have stopped.

Buzz! !

Buzz! !

The gray light that spread like water waves covered the skinny old man's body.

The flame reflected in the skinny old man's pupils was completely extinguished as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on it.

The pupils gradually become darker, and then they become empty...

Finally, it lost all its vitality and returned to that pile of bones.

Click! Click!

A subtle cracking sound came from the bone sword in the hand of the skinny old man.

The bone sword seemed to have reached its limit and completely shattered.

Along with the whole body of the skinny old man, it slowly withered and decayed like a dead tree...

Finally, the three items erupted into extremely bright glass brilliance and appeared in front of Emiya's eyes.

One is a finger bone, another is a gray seed, and the third is a relic.

The relic reflected Emiya's eyes like a reflection of the vast ocean.

Boom! ! !

The next second, the relic suddenly turned into a stream of light and escaped into Emiya's body...

At this moment, his entire skeleton seemed to be merging with the relic, undergoing amazing changes!

His body originally wanted to wither and decay like the skinny old man.

However, when the relic escaped into his body, a brand new vitality stirred up an ocean from Emiya's body.

At that moment, Emiya's body seemed to reflect a golden ocean. Every drop of sea water gave new life force, reshaping every inch of his skin, every inch of his bones, and every cell.

Emiya's eyes suddenly opened. At this moment, he felt that his life level was not only transformed...

In fact, even the "price" required for the previous "activation" can be written off in one stroke?

That old face seemed to have been re-injected with water and regained its vitality.

Skin becomes youthful again.

The hand holding the bone sword grew new flesh and skin.

Moreover, the blood was a normal red color, not the deep black before.

At this moment, the aura erupting from Emiya was captured by a pair of eyes in the distance.

"Advanced to level five?"

At this moment, Chen Ye saw the miracle that happened to Wei Gong from a distance through Yu Xian's eyes.

There was a bit of shock in his eyes.

Who would have thought... Emiya actually has the special ability to deal with the skinny old man!

Moreover, with this characteristic, he managed to survive even after being put to death!

Successfully achieved nirvana and rebirth, achieving transformation!

Originally, Emiya's vitality had become extremely weak after he continuously used characteristics that exceeded his own personality.

Especially when he used that method to recreate the skinny old man's bone sword, he overdrawn his last bit of vitality and was about to die.

However, it was the bone sword that took away the skinny old man with the characteristics of [time].

That’s right!

The only thing that can deal with time is time.

Those who control time must exchange time for the same amount of time.

Therefore, even if the skinny old man is a taboo product, he still has to spend all his time to take these players away.

However... the reason why the skinny old man was able to hold on for so long was because when he killed players before, the benefits from each use of [Time] were greater than the consumption.

If the time spent wielding the bone sword once can harvest more dead souls, it can increase the time it stays and achieve a superimposed effect.

...This is also a manifestation of the skinny old man seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

The reason why it harvests the players here is not just as simple as a killing machine, but because when a sword is struck, the income from the number of dead souls can add more time for itself to stay in this world, which is profitable for it.

To put it bluntly, as long as the sword is wielded and [Time] is used once, as long as the harvested souls exceed a certain number, the lifespan of the skinny old man will be extended.

Otherwise, it will be consumed.

At the beginning, the players of "Avengers" had not yet understood the characteristics of the skinny old man and gathered together. In this case, the number of dead souls was far greater than the "cost". Therefore, every time he wielded the bone sword, the skinny old man would The life span of the elderly is increasing.

But later players saw the movement trajectory of the skinny old man and spread out. The income from swinging the bone sword once was greatly reduced, and they might even lose money...

Ever since, the skinny old man became more impatient and angry.

However, if it wants to prolong life, there is no more direct way than harvesting the souls of the dead.

If the dead souls were not harvested, in the dimension of [time], the skinny old man would have died long ago. Without the dead souls to continue his nutrition, his death would only be faster than imagined.

Therefore, even if he is facing a loss, the skinny old man must wield the bone sword to kill the players.

Under the influence of pursuing profits and avoiding disadvantages, although a loss is a loss, the loss is smaller, and to a certain extent, it is also a kind of "profit".

Therefore, no matter what, the skinny old man will kill the "active" beings around him.

This is why it is taboo...

Its characteristics are too high, and as it is an [Immortal], there is no threat to it from current players.

Including Emiya.

But why did Emiya successfully kill the skinny old man and explode a special item from this terrifying taboo?

the reason is simple!

Emiya also projected a sword that did not belong to his personality.

This sword happens to be the bone sword in the hand of the skinny old man.

As long as you pay the price of your life, as an [Infinite Swordsman], you can project any sword below the authority of the gods, including bone swords with [Time] characteristics.

This bone sword has not yet reached the level of true godly authority. It is just a fake at best.

If you use it too much, it will still break.

Although it is a one-time use sword, it is enough for Emiya.

As long as he sees it, has seen it, and is willing to give his life for it, he can project any sword in the world, even if this sword only exists in history and legend.

However, as long as the chips of equal exchange are followed, everything is possible.

The only thing that can deal with time is time.

The skinny old man was not afraid of anything, but what he was most afraid of was time.

Therefore, the bone sword that Emiya projected was the same as the one in his hand. It was the most restrained tool in the world.

With a simple wave, there is no need to overdo it, and the skinny old man will be automatically taken away by time.

The time left is not much...

Therefore, you only need to use the [Time] feature to quietly remove a little bit, even if it is just a little bit, then it is over.

Among the items with special characteristics that were revealed, one happened to be able to integrate with Emiya's profession and advance to rank five!

Emiya's previous status was completely insufficient to support the explosion of such characteristics...

But after being promoted to Rank 5 and gaining a new profession, all the costs were offset.

He paid the price with his body. However, every time the player changes careers and is promoted, the structure of the entire body will undergo changes like nirvana and rebirth. From this point on, although the cost is not completely offset, the injuries caused are. Was restored instantly!

This is simply no different from resurrection!

At this moment, Chen Ye used his talent of [Research on Blood Letters] to observe the career information box suspended above Wei Gong's head...

Compared with the [Infinite Swordsman] at the beginning, his profession has now been changed to a more noble name——

【Infinite Sword Master】

Regardless of the difference between swordsman and sword master, there is only one word difference, but the difference in authority they symbolize is as big as that between knight and earl. In terms of status, the two are not at the same level at all, and their characteristics are completely different. Different.

"I didn't expect Emiya to advance to rank five... It seems that the players with the highest profession now may have changed!"

Chen Ye took a deep breath and said to himself.

Originally, the highest-level players in this city were, not surprisingly, Dawn and Dark Night. These players, who were backed by top forces, had rich sources of resources, and had no shortage of promotion items, would be at their peak when they reached rank four.

But now Emiya has completely broken this law.

His identity is no longer the leader of the previous "Justice League". To be precise, he is just an independent player. Even the previous "Avengers" is actually no different from the thugs. He is just a player who has a grudge against the thugs. It is just formed and temporarily follows Emiya's progress, but he is not responsible for these members, and there is no contract related to the guild to bind the relationship between them.

To put it bluntly, Emiya is just a loose person now.

But just such an individual, in a miraculous way, reached the fifth rank!

It’s unimaginable!

At this moment, Chen Ye saw the golden stars on Wei Gong's head becoming even brighter!

"So...is this his destiny?"

Chen Ye stared at the golden star and murmured to himself.

It seems...

Players with this kind of aura of luck are definitely not just ordinary people!

There will definitely be a day when it breaks out.

Besides himself, Chen Xi and Bai Chen also have similar golden stars.

But none of them seemed to have experienced their own explosive period like Emiya.

Chen Ye, on the other hand, has reached the top of the list last month, but his golden star is still slowly getting brighter, and it seems that he has not exhausted his potential at all.

At this moment, Chen Ye saw one of the three items, emitting a dazzling glass light, which was actually connected to his own luck halo.
