After Becoming a Solo Player, My Unlimited Skills Made Me Invincible

Chapter 39: Demonization!

"Are the guardians actually lower in level? Or was it adjusted based on my level? But this is a boss of the gold level…"

Looking at the motionless Guardian standing in place, Mo Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of unease: "Unfortunately, even at level 25, I can't see its attributes… It would be better if I were a bit higher.

"Anyway, let's try attacking it."

Saying that, Mo Xiao immediately pulled back the Flying General's Longbow.

However, in the instant that Mo Xiao pulled back the longbow, an inexplicable chill crawled up his spine.

In the next moment, he immediately halted his attack and abruptly crouched down.

In an instant, a crimson vine swept past, just barely missing Mo Xiao thanks to his quick crouch.

That attack could have easily severed him in two.

"You audacious little rat! How dare you intrude upon the forbidden trial grounds! Come forth and meet your doom!!!"

As if noticing Mo Xiao's movement, the guardian's formerly lifeless eyes suddenly gleamed with a chilling red light.

Simultaneously, countless red energy rapidly converged towards the guardian.

Before long, a thick layer of red crystal formed over his body, and the Guardian's Heavy Sword in his hand turned into a giant crimson blade.

Even more terrifying, dozens of red vines were wriggling on his shoulders, clearly under his perfect control.

For Mo Xiao, he had methods to block both magic and close combat, but he had no way to deal with these red vines; he could only rely on evasion.

He gazed at the guardian before him, radiating with red light. He gritted his teeth and allocated all his unassigned attribute points to agility.

Though it was like a drop in the ocean, every little bit counted.

After all, Mo Xiao was certain that this so-called Guardian had an astonishingly high defense, and his own attacks couldn't possibly break through it.

All he could do was rely on counterattacks to return the damage back to him.

Just as Mo Xiao was contemplating this, the motionless guardian standing there suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, a red afterimage darted around the entire trial space, and in an instant, it appeared in front of Mo Xiao.

The heavy sword in its hand, as if weightless, viciously swung down towards Mo Xiao's head.

"So fast!"

Seeing the sudden appearance of the guardian, Mo Xiao's pupils contracted, quickly raising his hand to block and swiftly retreating.

If it weren't for his warrior-like reflexes, he would have likely become a lifeless soul under the sword by now.

"Clang!"

A dull sound of metal clashing reverberated.

The Guardian's body instantly burst into red light. Although no damage rebound was observed, the red crystal that previously enveloped its torso and arms shattered, revealing normal flesh.

"What an opportunity! Take this!"

Seeing this situation, Mo Xiao naturally wouldn't let go of such a good chance.

He quickly drew his bow and shot arrows with the Flying General's Longbow towards the guardian.

…

In the next moment, a series of double-digit damage numbers flashed across the Guardian's body.

Clearly, despite Mo Xiao's high attack power and the assistance of the Worker Ant's strength, he couldn't break through this guy's defense.

"Oh man, I really can't break through it! It feels like I'm scraping forever!" Mo Xiao sighed with a bitter smile. Just as he was preparing to create distance and wait for an opportunity, he suddenly noticed that the guardian remained motionless, seemingly waiting for the red crystals on its body to recover.

"…"

Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao suddenly became bold.

He rushed directly in front of the guardian and forcefully swiped his hand against its body.

You vigorously rubbed against the Guardian, and the skill 'Evil Qi Extraction' has been copied!

[Evil Qi Extraction: Activate the power of evil to extract vitality from the target, turning it into evil qi that enters your own body, inducing a state of demonization.]

[Demonization: Special state after the infusion of evil qi! Defense power reduced to zero, strength increased tenfold, mental power increased tenfold, agility increased fivefold! Health reduced by fifty percent, with a certain chance of losing rationality, lasting for 10 minutes. Cooldown: 10 minutes.]

"Strength increased tenfold?!" Seeing this, Mo Xiao gasped in shock, ignoring the reduction in defense and health.

After all, in the current situation, whether defense and health decrease or not, he would be instantly defeated.

Because, the best defense was a strong offense!

As long as he slayed the Guardian, all problems would be solved!

With these thoughts in mind, Mo Xiao no longer hesitated.

Without further ado, he directly activated this latest skill.

"Evil Qi Extraction!"

He extended his right hand, and his health instantly decreased by one-third. At the same time, a crimson vine shot out directly from Mo Xiao's palm, wrapping around the guardian's body.

In the next moment, Mo Xiao felt an indescribable burning sensation, sweeping through his entire body along his arm.

Simultaneously, countless red crystals appeared on Mo Xiao's body, accompanied by this burning sensation. It was as if a red armor had been constructed on him, exuding an incomparable coolness.

"Ah!!!"

[Demonization state activated!]

With a roar from Mo Xiao, he felt his consciousness slightly blurred, his eyes filled with red light.

Without hesitation, he pulled back the Flying General's Longbow and began a frenzy of attacks.

-1151

-1151

…

Soon, countless damage numbers exceeding a thousand continued to flicker on the guardian's body.

The damage was still not high, but it could be considered some damage.

After a while, Mo Xiao stopped his attacks, and the red glow in his eyes slowly disappeared.

His consciousness also returned to clarity.

"It seems like I lost control for a moment… This skill really shouldn't be used recklessly. Luckily, the guardian hasn't made a move yet."

Just as Mo Xiao spoke these words, the guardian moved once again.

He had no choice but to continue evading and embark on a long journey of scraping.

...

Meanwhile, in the Mayor's reception hall of Yicheng Base City.

"Hello, I am the Mayor of Yicheng Base City, Fang Chang. May I ask what brings you here?" The Mayor looked at the individuals seated in front of him with an indifferent tone.

The person in the lead, with a cold expression, looked at the Mayor and said calmly, "Mayor Fang, greetings. We are the inspection team from Tianyuan Battlefield. Based on the reports from the warriors, we have discovered the presence of someone maliciously killing battlefield heroes in your city, so we have come here to investigate."

"Maliciously killing battlefield heroes? Are you joking?" Mayor Fang furrowed his brows upon hearing this.

"We are not joking. The victim is here as well. If you have any objections, you can speak directly with him."

After saying this, the person's gaze shifted to a burly man by their side.

"Hello again, Mayor Fang. It's been a while since we last met."

"You're… Tu Feiding?"
