Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 305: Exiled to a world of nothingness?
"Let me show you the power that can trap everything into nothingness." Professor David sneered like a classic villain, and then he slowly moved the hand holding the walnut cane downwards, sweeping the tip of the cane over everyone in turn, and finally pointed at the calm young man: "I think I should start with you, Mr. Ling."

Through the exploration of the previous rounds of battles, he has basically figured out the essence of this so-called RPG game, and he also knows that there are actually only two people who really occupy the core position in the opponent's lineup. One is Alice, who is the output core. She makes continuous and stable output through her efficient use of auxiliary abilities, thereby reducing the HP value that symbolizes vitality; the other is Ringer, who is the auxiliary core. He provides the most stable output environment for his teammates through his high-frequency blood recovery skills. If it weren't for him, the damage caused by Professor David in the previous rounds of battles would have been enough to take away any one of these people.

Therefore, it was undoubtedly the most appropriate choice to target these two people first, and out of some kind of disdain or...jealousy towards Rochelle? Rochelle chose Lingge first.

A true believer? It's so stupid that it makes you want to laugh.

"You bastard!" Alice clearly felt the professor's malicious intent and raised her guard: "What do you want to do!?"

The professor glanced at her contemptuously and said, "Don't worry, Miss Alice, because it will be your turn soon."

As soon as the words fell, the six-winged, six-armed sky god moved. He raised his two upper arms and thrust the cross sword and the scales into the dark abyss of dark clouds, stirring up a large rolling and boiling vortex. Lightning flashed across the dark sky quickly, like red chain snakes swimming around with fire, illuminating the surprised or uneasy expressions on everyone's face. The two lower arms waved the red eagle's tail feathers and the double-winged wind snake in their hands, stirring up waves of visible storms, which swooped down with overwhelming force, making the entire valley totter in the roar of the storm. The left hand of the two middle arms gently pressed the six rows of holes of the Avion flute, from which flowed a miserable sound like the howling of ghosts, and the right hand opened the gold-inlaid prayer book, and suddenly a very low, solemn, and extremely creepy prayer sound came from the void -

"Let everything return to nothing..."

As soon as the words fell, a faint breath swept past, and was soon buried by the endless darkness. Alice blinked her eyes, as if she felt something blowing past her, as quiet as a gust of wind, and no trace could be caught. Not only her, but others also felt the same. But when the gust of wind blew past, nothing happened, and everything was still normal, just like a few seconds ago.

"Bluffing?" Alice muttered. Suddenly, she heard Metien's panicked voice: "Lin, Linge! Linge is missing!?"

It's not so good either. After all, three rounds are too long and many variables will occur. Ringer's recovery ability, like Saint Shallia's ability to move again, are guarantees that Alice can output with peace of mind.

What the hell! ?

Fortunately, it is not a permanent exile and he will return after three rounds.

what happened?

Alice would never believe such nonsense. Her next reaction was to open the team list and take a look. She was immediately relieved because the pixelated avatar representing Lingge was still in the queue. It was obvious from his cold expression that it was him, but there was a very strange DEBUFF in the status bar.

[Exile to Nothingness: Exiled to the world of nothingness, unable to interfere with the order of the material world, and also losing the activity of spirit and mind. During this state, the player will automatically skip the action phase, cannot be attacked, and will not be affected by the skill effects or props of other characters. It lasts for three rounds.]

“This is the power of [The Breath of Nothingness of the Sky God].” Professor David sneered, “The Sky God, who was born from the belief in nothingness, symbolizes the nothingness of the spiritual world of all life, and then extends to the nothingness of the material level. Therefore, it can exile anyone into eternal nothingness, and let them feel the extinction and pain like a black hole in the universe!”

Alice turned around quickly, and was surprised to see that the position where Lingge should have been in the team was now empty. And beside them, the girls including Metien all had blank expressions, and they obviously didn't notice when he disappeared.

Others had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and were just relieved that Lingge did not disappear completely. Only a certain genius player frowned slightly, feeling that the situation seemed to be becoming a little tricky.

There are only two questions now: Can this exile ability be used repeatedly? And, when the holy relic [Void Breath of the Sky God] uses the exile ability, does it occupy Professor David's action turn?

This is crucial and will determine the direction of the subsequent battle. Soon, Alice got the answer.

One is that she can see the properties of the holy relic.

[Breath of the Void of the Blue Sky God: HP? ? ? /? ? ?, activate the ability at the beginning of the round, banish an enemy character into the void, lasting for three rounds. While this holy relic exists, our characters cannot use other skills or props except for damage types. ]

Being able to be reused is undoubtedly bad news. Although there are side effects, it is not so obvious in RPG games. After all, in a turn-based battle, you can only choose to attack or defend in the same turn, and cannot do both at the same time.

Professor David also saw this line of attribute introduction, and immediately sneered - he seemed to like this action very much - and said: "I see, although the power is weakened, the side effects are also weakened at the same time? This is good news for me."

Originally, [Void Breath of the Sky God] would make the magician who used it fall into the weakest state. For a weak magician, without any magical protection, even a copper or iron bullet could easily penetrate the heart and kill him. In Alice's game, there is no such concern, because pain does not exist, and damage does not exist. The only measure of vitality is the numerical HP number.

In the past, Alice used this rule to defeat her enemies, but Professor David turned it into his advantage.

"How can I repay your kindness?" he said in a disgustingly pretentious tone, and then he stretched out his walnut cane and tapped the ground lightly, his eyes flashing dangerously: "How about using this magic?"

The second bad news: the activation of the holy relic's ability does not seem to consume Professor David's action turn, so he can still use skills to attack the enemy, and this time, he will target Metien. Because the pink-haired girl can also assist in blood recovery, and her own HP value is the lowest except for the traveler fairy Xiemi, it is very suitable to be dealt with first.

He snapped his fingers lightly, making a crisp sound. In an instant, a gloomy and terrifying guillotine appeared beside Metien. The wooden frame seemed to be oozing with dark red blood, which looked very strange. Above her head was a shiny and bright guillotine, flashing a frightening cold light. Under the pull of a pair of invisible hands, it suddenly fell and chopped towards the pale pink-haired little girl, tearing through the sharp wind.

"Ah ah!?"

Although she knew it wouldn't hurt, Metien still subconsciously closed her eyes, hugged her little head, and didn't dare to look at the horrible scene above her head, and screamed in fear. At the same time, Senhan's guillotine had passed through her petite body, causing an exaggerated amount of damage, and instantly killed her. If the damage was a dozen points higher, the pink-haired girl might have been killed instantly.

“What a shame.” Professor David looked at this scene and shook his head with a sigh: “Sequence 7 magic is still a bit forced.”

He just used the inherent magic [Beheading] of the Executioner of the Corpse Collector Path Sequence 7, which is a pure attack type magic that will cause fatal damage to the bound enemy. However, Metien did not have a control effect, so he only dealt normal damage.

"But it doesn't matter." He smiled and said, "Although your end is certain in front of the void breath of the Sky God, you might as well struggle a little more before that. After all, an overwhelming battle is always boring and does not conform to my aesthetics. Just like history is mysterious because of its unknown, and relics are perfect because of their incompleteness. This is a natural truth. What do you think?"

"I think you're a big idiot."

Without hesitation, Ai Li raised the sword in her hand and swung it down with all her might. The huge silver blade of light swept across the valley along with her firm words: "Don't think you're sure to win!"

"You dark-minded uncle!"
