133: Chapter 133 The Time-Space Enforcer!
"A Summoner choosing to Tank a round of attacks... it seems he really is reaching his limit."
"But he said he has one more life-saving move. He'll probably be able to use it after enduring one more round."
"Although sending Su Xiaoruan forward might split the damage, as long as he doesn't go deep into the enemy camp, Lu Yin will still take at least two rounds of attacks."
"These two rounds of damage should be enough to force out his final trump card."
Reno thought to himself while simultaneously controlling Su Xiaoruan to move forward.
Once Su Xiaoruan was side-by-side with Lu Yin, the opponent also reacted.
They were more intelligent than expected, prioritizing the movement of one of the Bishop pieces.
The Bishop piece, like the King and Queen, possessed long-range attack capabilities.
With the movement complete, they entered the attack phase.
Lu Yin and Su Xiaoruan, acting as Knights, could only attack targets in adjacent squares.
But since there were no targets around them, their attack turn was automatically skipped, and it became the opponent's turn.
The opponent's three ranged units launched attacks at Su Xiaoruan and Lu Yin respectively.
-13,564!
Su Xiaoruan took one hit, and a not-too-high damage number floated above her head.
After all, she was a Tank class, so this damage was within an acceptable range for her.
Lu Yin, however, was subjected to two attacks, the first of which still dealt him nearly five-digit damage.
This caused his health bar to drop directly to about one-fifth.
It was clear that his remaining health was completely insufficient to withstand the second wave of attacks.
Furthermore, since he had used a recovery potion in the previous round, it was still on cooldown.
But at the very moment the fatal magic was about to strike Lu Yin, his body suddenly became ethereal, as if merging into the void.
"Void-Real Conversion!"
He activated a divine artifact skill, turning himself into a magic-immune state.
In the distance, Reno saw this scene; his pupils constricted slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
"This must be the final life-saving measure he mentioned."
"Hehe, the powerful skills of both him and his summons are basically exhausted."
"Once we defeat the final boss of the fifth floor, I can handle them however I want."
Just as Reno was thinking excitedly, Lu Yin suddenly spoke up from ahead.
"Brother Reno, continue the reinforcements quickly."
"I can Tank one more round. Let's try to get more of our pieces forward and take down the opponent's King as soon as possible."
Hearing Lu Yin's shout, Reno quickly snapped back to his senses and replied.
"Alright, I'll have the Priest in my team go over and Heal you first. We can counterattack in the next turn."
The Priest in Reno's team was assigned the Queen position.
In addition to horizontal and vertical lines, this position could also move diagonally, though it couldn't jump over pieces.
But even so, that was enough; after all, the Queen could perform long-range spellcasting.
From three squares away, the Priest cast a Heal spell on Lu Yin.
+35,642!
A soft white light fell upon Lu Yin, pulling his health back to a safe level.
Feeling the power returning to his body, the corners of Lu Yin's mouth curled up slightly.
He knew that Reno had completely taken the bait, believing he had no strength left.
The chess game continued. As the white pieces gradually moved to the front line, the outcome was no longer in doubt.
After all, Lu Yin's side consisted of two top-tier teams, with the weakest being legendary grade classes.
In the entire Rift of Time, those who could compete with them...
...were only the Golden Cult and the Dark Moon Brotherhood.
Under everyone's 'sincere cooperation,' the Black King's health bar was finally emptied after half an hour.
[Ding! You have killed the Black King. Experience points increased by 550,000 (-20%)!]
[Ding! Your level has increased to Level 33!]
[Death Space capacity increased. Current: 495/63!]
Accompanied by the mechanical notification tone, the entire chessboard began to slowly dissipate, turning into specks of starlight.
The ground reappeared beneath everyone's feet, along with a staircase leading to the floor above.
Reno's face was filled with a warm smile as he walked quickly to Lu Yin's side.
"Brother Lu Yin is truly impressive. If you hadn't volunteered, we would have likely had to put in much more effort."
Lu Yin gave a faint smile, neither confirming nor denying.
"It's not worth mentioning. On the contrary, it's thanks to Brother Reno's proper command that we were able to pass this stage so quickly."
"Hehe, Brother Lu Yin overpraises me. Let's check the rewards in this floor's treasure chest first."
Reno also smiled and then looked at the treasure chest in front of the stairs.
Lu Yin stepped forward to open it; inside were two radiant stones of god.
With a slight look of joy on his face, Lu Yin put them into his inventory.
He hadn't expected that this Tower of Time would yield so many stones of god.
"Next is the fifth floor. I expect the final floor of this Tower of Time will be a boss battle."
"On this floor, our two teams will fight together to try and kill the boss as quickly as possible."
Reno's voice echoed within the empty tower, his words full of sincerity.
"Naturally. Let's head up then."
Lu Yin nodded slightly and took the lead in stepping onto the stairs to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor had none of the complex mechanisms of the previous floors, only a huge circular platform.
In the center of the platform, a figure clad in a starlit robe floated quietly in the air, surrounded by the phantoms of time hourglasses.
[chrono enforcer · Nosariu]
[Level: 55 (World Boss)]
[Strength: 16,000, Constitution: 1,800,000]
[Agility: 15,000, Spirit: 140,000]
[Skills: Temporal Collapse Slash, Chrono Mirror, Spacetime Shuttle, Chrono Shackles, Dual Swords, Chrono Dimension]
Glancing at the boss's attributes, Lu Yin immediately noticed with suspicion that there seemed to be several corpses of human Professionals around the boss.
"What is that?"
Milian also seemed to notice the anomaly and walked over to ask.
At the same time, her gaze couldn't help but turn toward Reno.
Reno feigned a look of surprise, then looked in the direction they were staring and said with a frown:
"Are those human corpses? Could someone have entered before us?"
Watching Reno's superb acting, Lu Yin suppressed the smile that was about to form on his lips.
"It seems this boss will be difficult to deal with. We need to devise a thorough plan."
Reno immediately nodded solemnly.
"Brother Lu Yin, this boss's attributes are very high. I doubt I can Tank it alone as a front-liner."
"How about this: please talk to Miss Su. Let the two of us share the damage so we can create space for you all to deal damage."
Lu Yin glanced at Reno and then readily agreed.
"No problem. Xiao Ruan, assist Brother Reno in a bit and help him share the damage."
"Also, look after the other brothers in his team to prevent them from being directly attacked by the boss."
"Okay."
Su Xiaoruan nodded crisply, her shield slightly raised, ready for battle.
"Thanks, Brother Lu Yin! Let's get started then!"
Having tricked Lu Yin and the others with a few words, Reno turned around and flashed a devious smile of success to his teammates.
They of course knew the origin of those corpses.
After all, they were all prey that Reno and his team had set up and killed before.
