Chapter 474: Chapter 285 Secret of the Fifth Layer_1

It was late at night and not many people were online, in the end, Mu You only managed to gather Capricorn and Libra, but that was enough.

[You’ve received energy transfers from three directions.]

[You have entered Cell No. 4771 and locked the door.]

[You have summoned the Spike Serpent Guard, Fire Giant, Shadow War Eagle, and Netherworld Demon Child.]

[You have summoned the Troll War God and Legendary Witch Doctor.]

[The cell features a Paralysis Field, weakening creatures in there by 90%, making their attacks feeble and inducing drowsiness.]

This cell is effectively a natural Duel Field. After death, respawning can only happen inside the cell, so you don’t have to worry about the opponent escaping.

The only limitation is the weakening effect in here, but it applies equally to everyone. Furthermore, Mu You primarily relies on magic damage.

[Phantom Thief Valen has teleported behind you and used ’Sap,’ attempting to gain the upper hand.]

[You have summoned the Executioner, negating the dizziness effect of Sap.]

[You have only 1 HP remaining. Phantom Thief launched ’Assassination’ at you, but the Unceasing Trick is triggered, blocking the damage...]

[Phantom Thief launches a dagger stab at you, Unceasing Trick is triggered, blocking the damage...]

...

Emerging from the extreme cold into the cell, of course, Mu You had only one hit point left. However, killing him wouldn’t be easy for the phantom thief.

He entered while maintaining the Unceasing Trick, a Level 5 Unceasing Trick, which could block five fatal attacks for him. By the time the phantom thief’s five strikes were up, Mu You would be ready.

[The Phantom Thief’s fifth strike breaks your last layer of Unceasing Trick and slashes towards you once more.]

[The Troll War God has used Blood for Blood on you, restoring your HP to 100%. The Troll War God has just 1 HP left.]

[The Phantom Thief’s dagger strikes you, dealing negligible damage.]

[You have used the Life Barrier on the Troll War God.]

[Under the leadership of the Troll War God, your summoned creatures swarmed towards Phantom Thief Valen, beating him up...]

Behind the screen, Mu You could almost feel the hopelessness of the Phantom Thief. Lured by the remaining 1 HP, he fell into the enemy’s trap. But then he fell victim to the Troll War God’s Blood Exchange Technique, which instantly refilled Mu You’s HP. When he turned around to attack the weak Troll War God, he faced a five-second invincible barrier. Even if he managed to defeat the Troll War God after five seconds, the Witch Doctor would simply wave the Magic Wand, reviving the Troll War God with full HP...

[Phantom Thief Valen succumbed to his wounds in complete despair, dying on the spot.]

[You have slain Phantom Thief Valen Justin, your experience has increased by 12 points, your lifespan by 1 year, you have obtained Thief’s skin shard*1, and you have found ’Emerald Ring’ at the spot where he died.]

Each kill drops one piece of equipment, accelerating the process with a vicious cycle. The subsequent kills will come even faster.

Just two minutes later, another kill notification pops up.

[You have slain Phantom Thief Valen Justin, your experience increased by 12 points, your lifespan by 1 year, you have obtained Thief’s skin shard*1, and you have found ’Hunger Gem’ at the spot where he died.]

With two consecutive deaths, he started to accumulate experience penalties.

At this rate, he will downgrade after dying seven or eight times, and the subsequent downgrades will only accelerate. After about ten more times, he will be killed back to level 10, where he will be completely powerless.

While Mu You would never show mercy at times like this, it seemed this man had no intentions of giving up. After dying twice, he started to completely ignore the attacks from other summoned creatures and focused all his efforts on chasing after Mu You himself.

Mu You didn’t care, he came here to be a decoy, which meant the opponent gave up on defense and would just die faster.

[You have slain Phantom Thief Valen...]

[You have slain Phantom Thief Valen...]

...

Kill notifications began to pop up increasingly faster over the next ten or so minutes.

After dying eight times in a row, most of the Phantom Thief’s equipment had been plundered. At this point, he finally downgraded for the first time, falling from level 19 to 18.

[Phantom Thief Valen has respawned in the cell and is rushing at you again.]

[You notice the dark energy suddenly surging around the Phantom Thief’s dagger. Holding the black dagger, he charges at you like a mad bull. The familiar magic fluctuation makes you realize that this is Black Magic.]

[You’ve been stabbed by the black dagger!]

[You have died, experience -100, lifespan -10 years. Due to special rules, you will only respawn after 24 hours!]

"Huh?"

Mu You is taken aback, how did he just suddenly die?

He still had about 48% of his HP just now, which was nearly 7000 under the bonus effect of the Vampire! How did the other party manage to stab him to death with one strike?

More importantly, what did that sentence mean? He can not respawn immediately after dying and has to wait 24 hours due to rule constraints...

It was the first time he had seen magic that could affect respawning time after death!

At the same time, Mu You quickly understood the Phantom Thief’s plan: Clearly this move had limitations, judging from the current situation, it probably could only be activated when his HP dropped to a certain value. Otherwise, the opponent wouldn’t have been relentlessly attacking Mu You himself from the start.

After successfully activating this move, Mu You wouldn’t be able to respawn for a short period of time after dying. The remaining summoned creatures would not pose much threat, and the Phantom Thief would have the opportunity to escape.

If this move was regular magic, he would indeed escape at this point. However, this move happens to be Black Magic...
