162: Chapter 162: Second Job Advancement Completed!

Before him stood a towering bronze gate, carved with countless lifelike dragon patterns, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

This was precisely the forbidden area of the Sacred Dragon Academy, the second turn Trial, where one could obtain a god-tier second turn certificate.

The reason he had come here was that during these past two weeks, he had already raised his level to Level 6.

The Fifth and Sixth Legion Commanders had also been summoned.

They were both of the Assassin class and were twin brothers.

One was named Ying, and the other was named Ye.

Like reflections on opposite sides of a mirror, their figures were nearly identical.

Both wore tight-fitting pitch-black leather armor, with half-masks made of white bone covering their faces.

Only their sharp jawlines and eyes devoid of emotional fluctuations were visible.

The only difference was that Ying's weapons were short blades held in a reverse grip, their edges flowing with shadows.

Meanwhile, Ye's weapons were eerie chains wrapped around his bracers, with two crescent-like scimitars attached to the ends.

The two stood silently in Lu Yin's shadow like ghosts; unless they chose to reveal themselves, almost no one could detect their presence.

[Shadow Twins: Ying & Ye]

[Level: 6 (Increases with Sovereign's level)]

[Strength: 12,000, Constitution: 110,000]

[Agility: 20,000, Spirit: 100,000]

[Skills: Shadow Leap, Twin Strangulation, Breathless Domain, Instant Purgatory Shadow Kill Array, Soul Resonance, Life and Death Covenant]

[Legion Commander Talent: Shadow Synergy (When Ying and Ye attack the same target simultaneously, damage increases by 30% and an instant death check is added)]

[Artifact: Shadow Twins · Void Whisper (Sealed)]

An Agility attribute as high as 200,000, along with a terrifying synergy talent.

This made the brothers a true scythe of the Death God, specialized for decapitating powerful enemies.

Lu Yin took a deep breath and inserted the token into the towering bronze gate.

The bronze gate slowly opened with a heavy rumble. Behind the gate was a bottomless darkness, as if leading to another world.

Lu Yin stepped inside, and the massive gate behind him slammed shut.

He found himself standing on a desolate plain. Three moons of different colors hung in the sky, emitting an eerie glow.

"Is this the second turn Trial grounds?"

Lu Yin looked around. According to his understanding...

The second turn Trial also involved defeating one's own mirror image.

Lu Yin had chosen the God-tier difficulty, so the image he faced would have three times his own attribute strength.

However, none of that mattered because the mirror image could only copy his skills and the Death Legion; it could not copy his Legion Commanders.

As long as he mastered this point, he could easily pass even the God-tier difficulty.

Just as Lu Yin was thinking this, the space before him suddenly distorted.

A phantom identical to him appeared, exuding a terrifying aura far exceeding his own.

As expected, the moment the mirror image appeared, it raised its hand and summoned the Death Legion.

To pass this trial smoothly, Lu Yin had not increased the size of the Death Legion during this time.

Yet, there were still over six hundred Death Soldier lined up neatly before him. The Time-Space Guardians and Time-Space Priests were all troublesome monsters.

Lu Yin glanced at Hill as well as Ying and Ye; the three of them understood simultaneously.

Facing the Death Legion, Hill lightly raised the staff in her hand, which bloomed with a dark light.

"Eternal Frozen Abyss."

Her cold voice seemed to carry a chill that could freeze the soul. With her as the center, pitch-black ice crystals spread rapidly like a plague.

The Death Soldier that had just been summoned were sealed by eternal ice before they could even take a single step.

-4616232! -4557846! -4498879!

Massive damage numbers popped up above the enemy Death Soldier, causing their health bars to drop by more than half.

But it wasn't over yet; Hill immediately released another skill.

"Skyfall!"

The sky seemed to be torn apart as countless meteors burning with dark flames trailed long tails of fire, crashing down upon the frozen Death Legion like a doomsday judgment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Continuous explosions resounded across the desolate plain. The Death Soldier, restricted by the Eternal Frozen Abyss, became sitting ducks.

Under the impact of the meteors, they shattered into broken ice crystals one after another.

Under Hill's two terrifying wide-area magic strikes, the Death Legion summoned by the mirror image had already lost nearly half its numbers.

On the other side, Ying and Ye were not idle either. They leapt into the darkness, lunging directly at the mirror image itself.

"Twin Strangulation!"

The chain scimitars and short blades erupted from the void simultaneously. The mirror image was hit squarely before it could even react.

-26546554!

A staggering number floated up, and a visible chunk of the mirror image's health bar disappeared.

This was only because the mirror image's attributes were three times those of Lu Yin's original body; otherwise, this single strike would have been enough to empty its health bar.

Severely wounded, the mirror image stumbled back, but a strange light suddenly erupted from its eyes.

"Time Reversal!"

Its status and position returned to what they were 3 seconds ago.

Not only did its health recover to full, but it also locked onto Ying and Ye's positions.

"Space-Time Severance!"

It slashed down with its sword, and the void instantly shattered.

The mirror image's response was exquisite, reversing the tide of battle in an instant!

Space-Time Severance tore through space, and a jagged black crack spread rapidly toward Ying and Ye.

However, the Shadow Twins reacted even faster.

Just as the crack was about to reach them, Ying and Ye's figures suddenly blurred, as if turning into two blending shadows.

"Instant Purgatory Shadow Kill Array!"

In the next second, countless pitch-black shadow blades and chain scimitars erupted from all directions around the mirror image, forming a cage of death.

-15874211! -16123548! -15987452!

Dense damage numbers floated above the mirror image's head. Had it not activated the Sovereign-Subject Link,

this move alone would have been enough to kill it instantly.

Yet even so, its health was dropping rapidly.

After all, the Death Legion was also taking heavy damage from Hill's magic attacks; their total annihilation was only a matter of time.

Just as Lu Yin thought, although the mirror image used all its skills to resist,

it was ultimately in vain.

[Trial passed. Congratulations, you have obtained a god-tier job change certificate.]

Before long, the system notification sounded.

Just like the scene during the first turn, a token slowly emerged in the center of the plain.

However, the radiance of this token was countless times more dazzling than the one from the first turn.

[You have obtained a god-tier job change certificate. Do you wish to proceed with the second turn immediately?]

Lu Yin chose to confirm without hesitation.

In an instant, the token in his hand erupted with brilliant light, turning into countless streams of radiance that surged into his body.

The entire desolate plain shook violently. The three moons of different colors in the sky simultaneously cast down pillars of light, enveloping Lu Yin.

[Ding! second turn successful. Death Sovereign has advanced to Death Calamity. You have obtained the class-exclusive talent: Undying and Indestructible.]

[Undying and Indestructible: By consuming souls of death, you can be reborn on the spot. The quality of the soul of death determines the amount consumed!]
