Chapter 1185: Mission Change

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before Zhang Heng could finish his sentence, the doctor, Master Kui, and the others received a system notification.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the first phase of the main storyline mission—searching for key characters. Game Points: +100. You can go to the character panel to view relevant information…]

[Due to the completion of the first phase of the main storyline mission, the second phase of the main storyline mission has been automatically activated. Please confirm.]

[Main mission update…]

[Main mission has been updated. It has been changed to—kill Loki.]

[Will return after the main mission is completed…]

After hearing the new system notification, master Kui almost cursed out loud. How could they f*cking play like this! They had clearly completed the main mission and could leave the dungeon, but they did not expect the system to go back on its word. Halfway through, it changed the main mission and forced all the players to stay in the dungeon.

Moreover, the content of this second phase of the main storyline mission was too ridiculous. What did it mean to kill Loki? If Loki was so easy to kill, the Nordic gods would not have been helpless against him for a long time. They had been watching him jumping up and down, causing trouble all over the world.

Loki’s combat strength was not the strongest in Nordic mythology, but he was definitely the most difficult to kill.

The corners of Loki’s mouth curled up slightly. His gaze swept across the entire scene, taking in all the expressions on the players’ faces as if enjoying a play.

But the next moment, the smile on his face froze.

-LSB- warning! Warning! An unknown external force has been detected interfering with the game. The difficulty of the main mission is abnormal. Emergency response mechanism activated.]

[Emergency response mechanism activated…]

[The main mission has been modified and corrected. The main mission remains unchanged after killing Loki. The new mission restrictions are as follows. During the mission duration, Loki is not allowed to leave Pripyat. Killing the five great avatars of Loki will weaken Loki’s strength. Within 12 hours, Loki is not allowed to attack players. Loki can choose a building in the city as his stronghold. After 12 hours, Loki will remain in the stronghold and can not move again.]

“Tsk… tsk… are you really going to treat me like the boss?”

A hint of playfulness flashed across Loki’s face. “Alright, it’s rare that I get the chance to exercise my muscles, so I’ll play this game with you guys.”

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhang Heng. He was about to say something to Zhang Heng before he left, but unexpectedly, Zhang Heng did not give him a chance at all. The next moment, [Hidden Scabbard] was already slashing at him. Loki snorted, without caring about his posture. He hurriedly rolled on the ground to dodge Zhang Heng’s attack. The pride that he had worked so hard to bring up earlier was gone.

Zhang Heng didn’t give up on chasing after him after missing his attack. Instead, he stuck close to rocky like a maggot on a tarsal bone. [Hidden Scabbard] kept colliding with the cement floor, making clanking sounds. Loki couldn’t get up at all and could only roll like a rubber ball.

He kept rolling down.

“This is too much!” Loki was so angry that he almost got stabbed several times. Although he didn’t know how he managed to stop the bleeding, it was clear that he was still quite afraid of the [Hidden Scabbard] in Zhang Heng’s hands. Obviously, he didn’t want to add another wound to his body. He could only keep yelling, “If you don’t put away the knife, you’ll regret it!”

Zhang Heng ignored Loki’s threat. After hearing about the mission restriction, he realized that this was an opportunity. Besides killing the incarnation, which could weaken Loki’s power, Zhang Heng also noticed the rule that Loki couldn’t fight for 12 hours.

This rule was meant to give players time to kill the god. Zhang Heng, however, had used it to bypass the process of killing the god. It seemed that he wanted to kill Loki, who couldn’t fight back, right here and now.

Furthermore, as Zhang Heng hacked, he called out, “What are you waiting for? Do it.”

The players on the side finally came to their senses. Doctor Mang Liang raised the TT-33 in his hand and aimed at Loki, who was on the ground and pulled the trigger. The latter was now suppressed by the [Hidden Scabbard], so there was no other choice but to choose the lesser of two evils. He took the bullet in his lower abdomen.

Seeing that Master Kui and Mouse were also about to rush over to join the battle, Loki had no choice but to make up his mind. Gritting his teeth, he reached out his left hand and grabbed Zhang Heng’s [Hidden Scabbard].

As expected, four of his fingers were directly cut off by Zhang Heng. However, at the cost of this, Loki finally bought some precious time. He reached out his other hand and snapped his fingers.

When the [Hidden Scabbard] fell down again, Loki had already disappeared from where he stood.

Zhang Heng pulled out the blade embedded in the wall. Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from above his head, he chased after him.

Due to the new rules, Loki could not attack players yet. Therefore, Zhang Heng did not have to worry about this being a trap. He ran straight up to the roof and saw Loki standing on the edge of the rooftop.

Loki did not seem to realize that he had been cornered. Stopping in his tracks, his face dark as if he had something to say to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng, who had caught up to him, took out the [Pestilence Bone Bow] on his back and put on the [Parris Arrow]. However, this time, Loki had learned his lesson. Before Zhang Heng could shoot the [Parris Arrow], he snapped his fingers and disappeared again.

And this time, he had completely disappeared. Zhang Heng looked around again, but there was no sign of Loki.

Zhang Heng was not disappointed. He knew that the god of lies and trickery would not be killed so easily, and the battle just now was not without meaning. Even if he could not kill Loki on the spot with the [Hidden Scabbard’s] unique bleeding and damage bonus on mythical creatures, it would definitely be enough to make him suffer.

If he could kill five more of his avatars, it would further weaken Loki, and the final battle would increase the players’ chances of winning.

Zhang Heng put the [Pestilence Bone Bow] back on his back. Just as he was about to go downstairs, he saw a militia truck driving toward him on the street in the distance.

“What’s going on?” At this time, Grandpa Kui also went up to the rooftop. She was in the second-best physical condition among the players, so she followed Zhang Heng up. Unfortunately, the battle ended before it even started. Nonetheless, Master Kui also noticed the two trucks.

Zhang Heng seemed to have thought of something, so he didn’t say anything. He just turned around and ran downstairs again. Along the way, he ran into the doctor and Mouse, who had rushed over. In the end, the two of them saw Zhang Heng running toward the room where Scherbina was on the third floor.

Zhang Heng directly knocked open the door and saw the vice president lying in a pool of blood in the living room. The vice president was no longer breathing, and even his body had cooled down. It looked like he had been dead for at least a day. Then, Zhang Heng noticed the flies surrounding Scherbina’s body.

“Close the door!” Zhang Heng screamed to Master Kui and the others.
