Chapter 2142 The Devil of Time
The wisdom of the ancients is no joke, Tian Ji's horse racing moves are really useful. The power of time that Lin Jiu has mastered is like an inferior horse against a superior horse to Kronos.
Lin Jiu does not need the power of time he possesses to counter Kronos's ability, but he only needs to use his own power of time to interfere, so that Kronos's ability will be affected, such as errors in predicting the future and delaying the time reversal effect by one or two seconds. This is enough.
After using his own "inferior horse" of time power to interfere with Kronos' ability, Lin Jiu's core abilities, swordsmanship + soul abilities, can effectively output damage to Kronos.
When Kronos was about to use his time-reversal ability again, Lin Jiu's time power interfered with it at full force, delaying it by at least two seconds before it would take effect. These two seconds of time difference were enough.
岚！
After activating the active skill of the Sky Mist Boots, Lin Jiu kicked directly at Kronos. A dull collision sound was heard, and the flesh and blood of Lin Jiu's leg wrapped in armor exploded. If it weren't for the armor, the bones in the flesh and blood could be seen.
Kronos was kicked in the chest, leaving a deep footprint. Most of his body was numb instantly, and even the feeling of flesh and blood collapsing did not reach his brain. Lin Jiu still did not use his full strength to perform the kick after opening the "Lan".
So far, he has only used this move at full power at the end of the mission world and in the arena in the paradise. Otherwise, the full-power kick after activating "Mist" will cause considerable damage to himself, and it will be inconvenient to recover from the injury.
Judging from Lin Jiu's experience with full-strength kicks, his leg bones were not shattered, which meant he did not use his full strength. The backlash damage now was not enough to shatter the bones, not to mention fractures, so he probably only used about 50% of his strength.
Kronos' body flew backwards, but Lin Jiu did not give it a chance to breathe. He caught up with it through space and his figure appeared on Kronos' flight path first.
Lin Jiu held the hilt of the sword with both hands and slashed towards Kronos. The sword tip cut through the air, making a sharp sound, like a bird's cry. The sound was not like the cry of an earthly bird, but like the sound of nature, clear and melodious, and contained some kind of ancient spell.
An illusory bird creature appeared behind Lin Jiu, and its phantom disappeared into the sword. If you saw the fleeting bird phantom, you would see that it was a creature that seemed to have walked out of a myth.
It is huge yet agile, with wings spread out to an astonishing width that seems to cover half the sky, and tiny crystal-like scales inlaid on the edges of its wings. Its feathers seem to be glittering and flowing with the changing light, sometimes as deep as the night sky, sometimes as brilliant as the morning glow, and sometimes as if it can catch the glimmer of the stars, flashing a dazzling mysterious luster.
There is a pair of slender spiritual feathers on the forehead, which sway gently, as if they can guide the direction of the wind and see through the secrets of all things in the world. The eyes are like two shining gems, one is the deep blue of the night sky, and the other is the warm gold of the morning light.
The tail presents a dreamy gradient color, gradually transitioning from the dark blue at the root to the silver-white at the end, like the most gorgeous comet in the night sky, breaking through the silent sky.
Under his feet were cloud-like footprints made of glimmering light, like a good omen. It was indeed right to say it was a good omen, because this legendary bird creature symbolized the lucky Night King.
With one sword, Kronos' head was chopped off by Lin Jiu.
Kronos' body fell down, and there was no movement. What could kill Kronos was not his head being chopped off. For most demons, having their heads chopped off was definitely not a fatal injury. What really killed Kronos was Lin Jiu's ability to kill the Black Prince.
When the fortune mark on Kronos was stacked to five layers, and his health was less than 25%, he was killed. It was not that Lin Jiu did not want to stack a few more layers of fortune marks, but...
【Black Prince】
Equipment Effect 3: Luck comes and goes (Core Active). Activate the core ability state. Every time you are attacked by the enemy, your luck attribute will temporarily decrease by one point, and the enemy's luck attribute will also decrease by one point, and at the same time, they will be marked with a layer of "Fortune Mark".
Tip: When the "Mark of Fortune" is stacked to five or more layers, five layers of "Mark of Fortune" can be consumed to permanently reduce the target's luck attribute by 1 point.
Tip: When the enemy's luck attribute temporarily returns to zero, all "Fortune Marks" can be consumed to trigger a killing effect. One layer of "Fortune Mark" can kill 5% of the enemy's health.
Tip: Turn on the "Fortune Comes and Goes" effect, which consumes 10 points of durability.
……
The upper limit of the health points that can be killed is related to the opponent's luck attribute. The luck attribute of Kronos's clone is 5 points, so it can only be stacked up to five layers. I don't know if the luck attributes of Kronos's original body and clone are the same. According to the principle of Kronos' clone, they should be the same.
[The hunter has killed the time demon, Kronos, the time clone. ]
[The hunter has obtained 30.5% of the world's source, currently...]
[The hunter has obtained the Holy Spirit-level treasure chest, the Demon of Time. ]
……
The benefits of killing Kronos's clone were more generous than Lin Jiu had imagined. Not to mention the Holy Spirit-level treasure chest with a suffix, the benefits of the Source of the World alone were beyond expectations. But if you think about it carefully, the benefits of killing Kronos's Source of the World are also reasonable. After all, the benefits of the Source of the World are not only based on strength, but also related to the degree of influence on the world.
As a demon hiding in the dark and playing with the timeline, Kronos' influence on the entire Yimi Continent is naturally extraordinary. Even if it is a clone, it is the same. If it is an ordinary clone, there will not be such a harvest, but the intelligence information detected clearly marks this clone as a key time node clone, and the impact is not small.
Lin Jiu speculated that if Kronos could be killed, the source of the world would be more than 50%. It is reasonable to suspect that Kronos, the time demon, is the second most influential individual on the entire Yimi Continent besides the demon lord Roy. However, all of Kronos' operations are carried out on the timeline and are difficult to detect.
Similarly, the strength of Kronos's original body, which could have such a great impact on the Yimi Continent, was not something he could handle alone. Just to kill Kronos's clone, not to mention using all his trump cards, but also to go all out except for the inconvenient big moves, to kill it.
In order to kill Kronos, at least all the team members must be gathered together. And there is another prerequisite, which is that Kronos must appear from the timeline.
At this time, in an extremely fantastic area, it seems as if you are in an infinitely extending corridor, and no matter how far you move forward you cannot reach the end; sometimes you will suddenly appear in a completely unfamiliar scene, crossing the boundaries of time and space.
This area is like a flowing painting or a living light curtain. It is not fixed in a certain form, but changes constantly with the fluctuations of the surrounding environment and time and space. Sometimes, it is like a gorgeous rainbow, spanning the sky, colorful and inspiring infinite reverie; sometimes, it turns into a deep black hole, swallowing up all the light around it, leaving only a deep and mysterious black, which makes people feel awe.
