52: Silver King

[Monster]: Silver King (Saint-level)

[Level]: 14

[Skill]: 1. Nine-Segment Silver King Slash

2. Silver King Phantom Steps

3. Silver God Body

[Introduction]: The perfect masterpiece of the Mechanical Race, the ultimate fighting machine.

Looking at the silver creature's attribute panel, Lin Du fell into deep thought.

When he initially designed the instance, he had not included a Saint-level Monster in the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance.

Monsters of this level were too powerful; ordinary players couldn't deal with them at all.

To defeat a regular Saint-level Monster, one would need to be at least in the top 30 sequence, equipped with a full set of top-tier gear.

Otherwise, it would be utterly impossible!

The number of Saint-level and God-level Monsters in universe ol was limited, and Lin Du was certain he had never designed the silver creature before him.

Lin Du felt a heart-pounding sensation emanating from the silver creature; this was a player's combat instinct.

The silver creature opposite him was extremely dangerous!

...The Silver King slowly stood up from the Mechanical Throne.

Silver high heels clicked against the ground as she casually picked up the silver tang saber and walked toward Lin Du step by step.

Click-clack—

Every movement and expression of the Silver King was identical to a human's; it was impossible to tell she was a mechanical monster.

"Human, are you ready to accept death?" A husky voice sounded from the Silver King's mouth.

The silver tang saber spun in a flourish, and the Silver King's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

"So fast!"

The moment the Silver King disappeared, Lin Du's pupils contracted, and his body rapidly shifted one step to the left.

Swish—

Just as he moved away, the silver tang saber slashed down.

Luckily, his reaction was timely, or that single slash would have certainly separated Lin Du's head from his body!

The Silver King missed her strike, and her figure vanished from the spot once more.

Whoosh—

The Silver King displayed astonishing speed, a velocity that made Lin Du stare in amazement.

Among all the monsters Lin Du had designed, the speed the Silver King just displayed could already rival some God-level Monsters.

This was definitely the ceiling of Saint-level combat power!

While Lin Du was astonished by the Silver King's strength, he also felt moved by the hidden talents residing in Yunlong City.

How could so many players clear such a difficult instance? The speed the Silver King had just shown was enough to drive countless players to despair!

What Lin Du didn't know was that the fifth floor he was currently experiencing was completely different from what other players faced.

The boss on the fifth floor of the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance was originally a peak Emperor-rank Monster.

Lin Du's clearing speed for the first four floors was under half an hour, which directly triggered a hidden quest in the Qin Kings Underground Palace, summoning the ultimate boss.

The Emperor-rank Monster transformed, becoming a Saint-level Monster!

The instance difficulty instantly increased by more than tenfold!

...The Silver King moved around Lin Du like a silver phantom, the silver tang saber striking with deadly intent, always aiming for vital points.

Even though Lin Du's level was two levels higher than the Silver King's, he dared not show the slightest carelessness.

After several unsuccessful attacks, brilliant silver light erupted beneath the Silver King's feet.

Silver King Phantom Steps activated!

Whoosh—

Boosted by the skill, the Silver King's speed was nearly doubled compared to before, and the pressure on Lin Du suddenly intensified.

"What a monstrous machine!"

Lin Du dodged while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Not only was the Silver King fast, but her agility and reaction speed were also terrifyingly quick; she truly lived up to her title as the Mechanical Race's ultimate fighting machine.

Several of Lin Du's attacks returned without success!

The two figures transformed into one black and one silver shadow, chasing each other through the space. For a time, neither could gain the upper hand... Whoosh—

The Silver King suddenly stopped in place, her pair of silver eyes sizing up Lin Du with interest.

"Human, your strength has exceeded my expectations!"

"To show respect, next, I shall display my strongest form for you!"

"Silver God Body!"

As she spoke, the Silver King's silver eyes turned into two black holes, and her silver hair visibly transformed into pitch black.

Her silver armor was no exception, all of it changing into an eerie, pitch black color.

As the Silver King's colors changed, her aura underwent earth-shattering changes, and all her bodily functions received massive enhancements.

An even more violent aura erupted!

At this, Lin Du was utterly shocked.

"Holy crap!"

"It actually reached Demigod-level?"

Lin Du realized at this moment that the boss on the fifth floor he was facing was probably different from what other players encountered.

Only those monstrous players on the leaderboards would likely be qualified to fight a Demigod-level Monster.

Among players of the same level, ordinary players facing a Demigod-level Monster would only find death, without even the qualification to run away... The Silver King stretched her limbs, posing the silver tang saber in a strange stance.

"Nine-Segment Silver King Slash!"

"First Segment!"

Swish—

The silver saber light unleashed by the tang saber descended like a silver waterfall, striking directly at Lin Du's body.

Lin Du lowered his shoulder and gathered strength, meeting the silver saber light with a charged Death Slash.

"Break for me!"

Clang—

The two sharp weapons collided. After a brief stalemate, the silver saber light was shattered by the silver charm blade.

Under the rebound of terrifying immense force, Lin Du's feet sank, and his body involuntarily stumbled back half a step... "Such immense strength!" Lin Du exclaimed in shock.

Although Death Clown's Strength Talent wasn't maxed out, it had reached the SS-rank Level.

Under these circumstances, Lin Du was still pushed back by the Silver King, who was two levels lower, which was highly telling.

Moreover, this was only the first segment of the Nine-Segment Silver King Slash; there were eight stronger attacks to follow... After the strike, the Silver King slashed out the silver tang saber again.

"Nine-Segment Silver King Slash!"

"Second Segment!!"

Swish—

The saber light was like a swift apparition, descending like a silver moon from the sky.

Lin Du's gaze sharpened, and he met it with the Extreme Speed Nine Consecutive Strikes.

Clang, clang, clang—

The power of the Extreme Speed Nine Consecutive Strikes was much greater than the Death Slash, but the result was only an even match against the second segment of the Nine-Segment Silver King Slash.

Lin Du was pushed back half a step again... The Silver King didn't pause, and the third segment of the attack followed immediately.

"Third Segment!!"

Watching the fierce silver saber light rushing toward him, Lin Du didn't rush to attack this time.

He had never thought that one day he would be forced into such a difficult position by a monster two levels lower than him.

He stretched his body, and the fighting intent in his eyes grew stronger.

"Very good! It seems I can't deal with you without bringing out some methods."

"You're not the only one with trump cards; I have them too~"

"Ghost Blade Stabbing God Technique!"

[Ghost Blade Stabbing God Technique: Increases player Speed and Strength by 200%, transforms the user into a phantom moving across the battlefield, capable of killing even gods.]

Boom—

A terrifying aura erupted from Lin Du's body, and immense power instantly filled his entire being.

The silver charm blade in Lin Du's hand slashed across, instantly shattering the Silver King's third segment attack.

"Silver King, right? Keep going, don't stop!!"
