Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1487 The Only Escapee

"They've collected all the 'treasure'... How is that possible?!"

Kong Han opened his mouth in disbelief.

Lin Yu spread his hands: "How much time do you think you wasted while hiding yourself... because you were huddled in the corner, actively avoiding me, and didn't dare to release your senses at all. During this time, I was 'completely free' to move around in the arena."

"You don't actually think I'd be hindered by the 'calamity' I created, do you?"

Lin Yu spoke calmly, and Kong Han spoke up.

Even so... even so, you still can't collect 'all the treasure'!

Lin Yu said, "Of course, conventional methods won't work. In fact, I didn't initially plan to win this way. I originally planned to use the advantage of destroying your body once to set up some kind of trap, and then deal with you after you were resurrected."

"But... you also collected a portion of the 'treasure' before. That portion of the 'treasure' should have been hidden inside your body. So when your body was destroyed, those treasures reappeared from your damaged body."

As Lin Yu spoke, he took out a ring from among them—this was the one that Kong Han had just collected.

Kong Han was aware of this as well: "What does this have to do with your method of finding all the treasures?"

"Because of the collection you previously gathered... only this one remains; the rest have all been destroyed."

"Therefore, I can conclude that those 'collections' are not indestructible; this is the hidden rule of this 'duel'."

Lin Yu laughed as he said this: "So—although collecting all the artifacts is difficult, it's quite simple if you destroy most of them and collect the ones that weren't destroyed."

During the ongoing calamity of the "alchemy energy rampage," Lin Yu also suffered another calamity—he used the "Wind Vein Technique" to create a gale that covered the entire area.

These strong winds blew most of the collection into the nearby "flames," and the calligraphy, paintings, and wooden handicrafts were quickly burned to ashes, while the fragile glass and porcelain pieces were smashed into worthless fragments.

and so……

After the storm had been raging for some time, all Lin Yu needed to collect were the undamaged metal items.

The time before the "alchemy energy rampage" ends and "Void Cold" is fully revived is enough for Lin Yu to collect all the undamaged artifacts and win this "duel".

"Anyway... it was really easy."

Lin Yu looked at Kong Han and said with a smile.

Kong Han's face, devoid of features and composed of "dark joy," could not express any emotion. However, even though Kong Han remained expressionless in the face of Lin Yu's words, it was clear that his emotions were extremely complex at that moment.

Shock, resentment, disappointment...

However, in the end, this prisoner, who had been serving his sentence in the "eternal cage" for a long time, finally found peace.

"I lost."

"Indeed, this 'duel' was somewhat unexpected... Your ability to seize opportunities is very strong, and your overall ability is also stronger than mine."

Kong Han regained his composure and spoke again in a sharp voice: "Well then, a bet's a bet, I'll pay the reward, hehe!"

As Kong Han spoke, he first took out the only "physical" reward, then stepped forward and solemnly presented it to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu accepted the black scimitar handed to him by Kong Han and sensed the change in ownership of the scimitar, realizing that he now possessed a brand new [item].

[Item - Crescent Moon in a Cold Night, now bound!]

[Wan Yue Chen Ye: A blade forged from "Mirror Iron" at the bottom of the abyss, reflecting the image of the crescent moon in the Night Valley Realm as seen from the depths of the abyss. When used, it briefly leaves behind "Night Magic" in the path of the blade's swing; infusing the blade with magic can render the presence of the blade and its wielder undetectable, causing random errors in perception of both.]

"This pseudo-human resurrected from the Mist Island Realm, who comes from the Wasteland Realm and knows alchemy... is actually holding a scimitar from the Night Valley Realm," Lin Yu said, looking at [Crescent Moon Cold Night] with a sigh. "It really is... quite strange."

But despite the感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), this [Crescent Moon in the Cold Night] is indeed a very powerful weapon.

Although there are no "Notes" or "Descriptions" entries, the origin and craftsman of this knife are definitely extraordinary.

The fact that its raw materials come from the "bottom of the abyss" is enough to illustrate the point.

Moreover, the two effects of [Wan Yue Leng Ye] are also quite powerful.

When the sword is swung, it leaves "night magic" in the "trajectory" of the blade... Combined with the magic of the Night Valley, it can probably create many combos.

Even though Lin Yu didn't master the spells of Night Valley Realm, especially the "Night Magic," he could at least be certain that every single normal attack of [Crescent Moon Cold Night] was enchanted!

at the same time……

The second effect of this [item] is even more remarkable.

After being infused with magic... this thing can interfere with the opponent's "correct perception" of the sword!

In other words, once it is actively infused with magic, the opponent will be unable to perceive the true location of the knife.

This ability at the "cognitive" level is also linked to many of Lin Yu's own abilities!

Lin Yu couldn't imagine what a terrifying blow it would be if he filled this sword with magic power, drew it out, and slashed at someone. The "cognitive interference" effect combined with the "mental shock" and the [narrative trick] would make.

After this combo, if the opponent doesn't willingly walk into the line of fire, Lin Yu would have to admire their unwavering willpower!

Lin Yu initially thought that the scimitar seemed rather ordinary in the hands of the other party, and that although it possessed great power, it might not actually be very useful.

But once these two functional mechanisms were presented, Lin Yu immediately understood them...

This sword is invincible in terms of mechanics alone—not to mention it has stats that are comparable to [White Bone Flowing Light].

Kong Han didn't use it because this guy really didn't master any of the magic power of "Night Valley Realm". In addition, he only used this sword for passive defense just now, so he didn't show the strange and terrifying abilities of this [Crescent Moon Cold Night].

Therefore... Lin Yu couldn't help but become curious.

"Although I'm not sure whether you're from the Wasteland or the Mist Island, since there aren't many people who master the supernatural systems of two worlds while not being 'players'... However, I'm quite certain that you have no knowledge of the supernatural powers of the Night Valley."

Lin Yu looked at Kong Han and said in a low voice, "So... I'm a little curious, why do you possess this [Crescent Moon Cold Night], which is clearly crafted by the Night Valley Realm?"

"Moreover, what I'm even more curious about is... how do you know about the legendary powerhouse of Night Valley, the 'Sword of Judgment'?"

Lin Yu looked at Kong Han, who looked at Lin Yu and spoke.

"The answers to both questions are quite simple... and they are also related to the secret of the 'Sword of Judgment' that I, as the 'bet,' am going to tell you."

Kong Han said, glancing at the high platform.

Earl, who was on the ring, understood and snapped his fingers.

The entire arena shook twice, and around Lin Yu and Kong Han, rows of semi-transparent, hard panels rose up, like frosted glass used in bathrooms.

Soon, the boards covered the entire arena, and Lin Yu and Kong Han instantly felt the surrounding silence.

Clearly, this is some kind of material that can completely block sound, obstruct vision, and block perception.

Earl provided the right space for Kong Han to "pay Lin Yu"—an absolutely quiet space where only the two of them could hear each other's words.

Kong Han spoke up: "Regarding the secrets of the 'Sword of Judgment'... She is a 'player' just like you, but she may not be a 'player' from the same era as you."

"Although she may only be a few years apart from you due to the 'dynamically uneven flow of time across worlds,' I met her before the complete destruction of the previous Kirishima civilization—even if we only consider the time when I was captured here, nearly a hundred years had already passed in the 'Kirishima World.'"

"The [Crescent Moon in the Cold Night] in my hand is an [item] I obtained from her!"

Upon hearing Kong Han's words, Lin Yu said, "This wouldn't happen to be the 'secret' you were going to tell me... To be honest, I already knew that."

“I may even know more about the ‘Sword of Judgment’ than this—if that’s all, I’m a little disappointed.”

As Lin Yu spoke, Kong Han shook his head.

"Of course, that's not all... These are just the 'premises' that need to be explained. To be honest, I guessed you probably already knew about these things."

"After all, you seem to bear some resemblance to that 'Sword of Judgment'..."

Are you her bloodline?

Lin Yu shook his head: "No, maybe closer... it's 'siblings'."

Kong Han paused for a moment, then said, "Time flows more slowly in your world than I imagined."

Lin Yu nodded: "It seems so... So, what exactly is this 'secret' you're talking about?"

Kong Han said, “'The Sword of Judgment' has the ability to freely take beings from the ten realms away from their original world and to another world—not by means of spatial abilities, soul abilities, authority, or even the power of the world's will and what you call the ‘Death Game’... This seems to be some kind of ‘talent’ of hers.”

Upon hearing Kong Han's words, Lin Yu finally became interested.

"Talent? Interesting... This is indeed a secret."

“This is not the secret I’m talking about. It’s just a ‘precondition’ that needs further explanation,” Kong Han looked at Lin Yu and laughed. “The secret I’m talking about is that the ‘Sword of Judgment’ once planned to use this ability to merge the entire ‘Abyss’ into the ‘Mist Island Realm’, but it was stopped by several ‘gods’ at the very beginning of the plan.”

"Then, the gods imprisoned her in this 'eternal prison'—and I only discovered it when I later committed forbidden sins and came here..."

"She is the first and currently the only known 'escapee' to have escaped from this 'eternal prison'."
