Chapter 172: Creating the Duel King Game
Seeing Dix even release a mind-control type skill, Liam was no longer polite.
He only saw a blue and white light immediately appear behind him, with twenty-four First-Grade armaments faintly visible within.
"Can you kill them all? Aren't these monsters your companions?"
Dix was still laughing heartily. Although Liam's weapons looked formidable, at most he could only use two at a time.
So no matter how many more appeared, it was just for show.
He prepared to pick up his own spear and deal with it properly.
The twenty-four sharp blades were enveloped in Liam's Selfless Sword Aura. In an instant, the twenty-four sharp blades covered the entire battlefield.
The blue and white Selfless Sword Aura seemed to be burning, and also as if it had come alive, shimmering with a cold light in the flames.
The Selfless Sword Aura condensed into a special force field. Apart from Liam, all the other people were frozen in place, unable to move.
Dix wanted to forcibly break free, but his body was being cut by more and more sword aura. The large number of wounds made him completely dare not act rashly.
"You bastard, what the hell are you using!"
"Extreme Ghost Sword Art—Tempest Style! You're the first person I've used it on."
Under Liam's control, Dix's figure was moved to the center of the sword formation.
Dix felt that something was wrong. He immediately used his bloodline power.
The entire artificial labyrinth seemed to come to life at this moment. The ceiling and the ground became active, and then enveloped Dix.
Things were indeed not that simple. But since Liam was prepared to make a move, he would not give Dix a chance to escape.
And so Liam's figure moved at extreme speed in an instant. The next moment, he had already swiftly arrived in front of one of the weapons.
Selfless Sword Aura, Warlord's Fervor, Flowing Stance, Overdrive, Weapon Tempering, and a large number of other state skills instantly enveloped his entire body.
He held a sharp blade in his hand and came before Dix.
Liam's figure, moving at extreme speed in the air, directly turned into a dazzling golden dragon-shaped sword aura.
In the domain of the Selfless Sword Aura, Dix's figure was wrapped in the rock of the artificial labyrinth.
Liam, on the other hand, used high-speed movement to alternately use various sharp blades, performing high-speed displacement slashes at Dix's position.
Ryuu and the others only saw several continuous golden flashes appear in the labyrinth, flashing continuously in this sword domain.
The clang of metal, the whistle of the sword wind, the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon.
The storm formed by the sword light, the hum of the sword, and other sounds became higher and higher in frequency. The rock where Dix was located was also being rapidly shattered.
The speed at which the artificial labyrinth enveloped Dix was ultimately weaker than the speed of Liam's destruction.
By the time Dix's figure emerged from the rock wrapping, the Grim Reaper's scythe had quietly descended.
Liam, while constantly switching weapons, concentrated all the abilities and the Selfless Sword Aura contained within the twenty-four armaments into his right hand.
Then Liam came to the ground, his right hand infusing all the sword aura into it, and swung a slash at Dix.
He only saw a dense, exaggerated golden sword light instantly envelop Dix's entire body.
"BOOM!"
The golden sword light formed a super-dense energy shockwave, instantly piercing through Dix's torso.
Even as a Lv5 with the rock of the artificial labyrinth for defense, his torso was completely devoured by this one move.
Of Dix's position above the navel, only his two arms and head remained.
He didn't even have time to say another word before his whole person completely died.
The Daedalus Eyes also disappeared at this time.
"Your destiny has ended."
He only saw the twenty-four sharp blades that had enveloped the battlefield turn into blue and white light particles one by one, slowly dissipating on the battlefield.
This one move had consumed about one-fifth of his stamina, and the result was indeed good.
He didn't know that Dix also had this ability to fuse with the artificial labyrinth. Fortunately, he had Tempest Style.
Otherwise, this time he might have let the other party escape.
Liam felt it carefully. After confirming that he only needed to consume a few times more stamina to continue releasing it, he completely breathed a sigh of relief.
Is this the power of Tempest Style?
When releasing the final blow of Tempest Style, he could concentrate the sword aura and abilities of numerous sharp blades together for a short time and release them.
When not in use, Liam only needed to store the Selfless Sword Aura in his weapons.
This way, when releasing it, it was equivalent to simultaneously storing and releasing several times Liam's mana bar.
Liam released the restraint on all the other people. After seeing that miraculous move just now, they developed a sense of admiration for Liam.
Mikoto was even more filled with longing. She also wanted to have such an astonishing move.
Even if she could only master one-tenth of it, she would be very satisfied.
Lyd and Rei and the other Xenos excitedly came over, "Liam, you're so ridiculously strong!
I've decided, from now on, you're our boss!"
Liam walked up to Dix and froze him with the cold air of Sloth.
"The artificial labyrinth can become our subsequent base, so Dix's eyes are still useful."
Ryuu at this time curiously opened her backpack. This time, when fighting Dix's people, she had collected some items that looked like they might be useful.
Then a fist-sized pearl began to glow.
"Liam, look!"
The pearl in Ryuu's hand was glowing. A certain mechanism in the artificial labyrinth opened, and then the ceiling deformed.
Liam and the others saw a tunnel leading directly to the surface!
"Great! With this, we can get directly from the middle levels to the surface!"
Everyone cheered.
The Daedalus clan had been working for over a thousand years, but had only built down to the 18th floor of the Dungeon.
From this, one could see just how exaggerated the difficulty of building an artificial labyrinth was.
Liam began to lead the looting of the corpse. Without Dix's eyes, he had a total of five eyeball keys on his side.
After collecting everything, Liam and the others closed the ground tunnel and chose to return to the surface along the conventional route.
Directly bringing a large number of monsters from the mechanism tunnel to the surface could very likely cause unnecessary panic.
On the way back, Liam was constantly thinking about how to bring this incident to a perfect close.
"To make all the surface races accept the Xenos, this difficulty is not low. So how should I break the first inherent impression?"
Liam thought about his own experience. He had watched many movies, novels, and played many games.
"That's right, don't the gods all like to have fun? I can start from a game."
"So, what kind of game can let everyone participate? And it has to be interesting enough?"
Liam led everyone to the surface. Because he was thinking, the people around him did not disturb him.
Lyd, Rei, and Gros looked at each other.
After witnessing Liam's miraculous move, they all became cautious.
The saying that there is always someone better out there made them profoundly realize the importance of peace.
Contact with the surface races must be peaceful.
And so they were also whispering, discussing what they should do when they reached the surface.
Liam thought for a moment, and a relevant idea had already formed in his mind. That was the card monster duel from Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh was a long animation about a card game.
And the card monster duel, as long as the monsters inside were replaced with the monsters in the Dungeon.
Even engraving the members of the major Familias, and even the gods, into the cards. As long as the prize money for the card duel was exaggerated enough.
Then it would definitely be able to stir up an astonishing craze throughout all of Orario, and even the whole world.
Once said, he did it.
Liam began to recall the respective effects of the engraved runes, and then began to think about how the cards should be specifically applied with patterns.
And most importantly, how the monster duel field should be designed.
By the time Liam led the Xenos to the surface, it had caused another riot.
But upon discovering that most of these monsters were fair-skinned and beautiful, and had not made any aggressive actions.
The onlookers also completely relaxed.
"Wow, how are these monsters all so good-looking?"
"So what if they're good-looking? Don't you value your life?"
"When I was fighting in the Dungeon, I was just focused on fighting for my life. Who would have thought these monsters could also communicate with us?"
All sorts of thoughts were generated in the minds of the passersby.
Liam looked at Ryuu, Mikoto, and the others, "Help me contact Hephaestus and Tsubaki. As long as you tell them I'm going to forge equipment that surpasses First-Grade armaments, they will definitely come!
Then purchase according to this shopping list and deliver the materials to the Goibniu Familia."
Liam led the Xenos and settled them in the staff dormitory next to the Grand Casino.
Afterward, he once again brought a pile of inspiration and went to the Goibniu Familia's home base.
Goibniu was staying by the forge, at this time he was studying a special metal.
"You're here? What are you doing this time?"
Liam thought for a moment, "Master, I want to make a game that will cause a sensation in Orario."
"A game that can cause a sensation in Orario?"
Goibniu knew Liam relatively well. He thought the other party probably had some good ideas.
"So, how can I help you?"
Liam smiled, "Actually, I need a lot of materials, and Hephaestus and Tsubaki will probably be here soon."
"You even called them over? What on earth are you going to do?"
Goibniu was a little puzzled. Liam's creativity was not to be questioned, so he also began to get curious.
Hephaestus and Tsubaki arrived in a short while.
"I'm very busy, Liam. You'd better have a reasonable explanation."
Hephaestus crossed her arms, a little dissatisfied.
Tsubaki was full of curiosity, "What are we going to make? I'm already getting excited."
Liam then stated his idea, "Have you ever thought, if we could create a game.
And let the life in the game come to life in reality, how great would this game be!"
"How is that possible?"
Hephaestus snorted coldly, "Not to mention our divine power can't be used on the surface, even if it could, just creating life, I don't know how exaggerated the difficulty would be."
Liam began to detail his idea bit by bit, and everyone's eyes lit up.
"Is this human creativity? I'm already starting to look forward to this game!"
Hephaestus looked at Liam excitedly. According to her personality, she should only be interested in unknown weapons.
And now, such a novel game made her extremely excited.
Because of their almost infinite lifespan, the creativity of the gods had become very low.
Or rather, because their lifespan was too long, they had lost their keen perception of time. Something that should be completed in a few hours.
It was no big deal for a god to delay it for a few years, a few decades, or even longer.
Four people, each only responsible for a small part. It took about a day's work, and two duel disks and two duel decks were completed.
Liam looked at all this excitedly, "Shall we go and test it out near the Adventurer's Guild?"
After speaking, everyone put down their work and went directly to the open space outside the Adventurer's Guild.
After Liam left the Goibniu Familia's home base, he asked a member of the Familia here to go and notify everyone at The Hearthfire Manor.
The duel disk was two luxurious platforms. In front of the seats were trays with special slots for cards.
Five monster card positions, five magic and trap cards. One graveyard, one extra deck area, one deck area.
Currently, there were a full thirteen card areas.
Eina hurriedly ran out of the Guild and saw Liam and Tsubaki standing inside the duel disks respectively.
"Mr. Liam, what are you doing?"
"I invented a game. I wanted to test it out here to see if it's fun."
"A game?"
Liam nodded, "Yes, the name of the game is Duel King! It's a game that uses special rune cards to fight!
Now, the game begins!"
As Liam's voice fell, the duel disks of the two people simultaneously shone with a brilliant light.
Then the two duel disks simultaneously released a radiance, dividing the central area between the two people into twenty neat squares.
"First round, each person draws five cards. Each person has two thousand life points. The side whose life points reach zero, or whose deck area has no cards, loses."
Tsubaki drew five cards along with Liam, "Liam, what do we do next?"
"Each person's extra deck has one main god card, and only one. The special effect can only be released once in a whole game.
And, this card can only be used in the extra deck area."
"So, let's start by tossing a coin. The side facing up can set up the field first, but cannot attack!
Tsubaki, you go first!"
Tsubaki nodded hurriedly, "I activate the main god card—Hephaestus!"
They only saw Tsubaki unfold the Hephaestus from the extra deck and place it face up in the extra deck area of the duel disk.
And so, in the center of Liam and Tsubaki, the duel disk shone with a dazzling light.
A three-dimensional stereo projection of Hephaestus directly appeared on the scene.
"Wow! It's the goddess! This game is so cool!"
"I never thought a main god could appear here in the form of a card! This is great! I'm definitely going to buy a lot!"
"The effect of my main god card is that the attack power of all characters in the Familia area increases by 200 points!
Lasts until the end of this turn!"
"Next, I summon the Familia card, Thunder Demon Sword!"
Thunder Demon Sword, four stars, attack power 1400.
Because of the main god card effect, its attack power increased to 1600.
Liam put his hand to his forehead, "Tsubaki, you can't attack in the first turn!"
