Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"What if I'm here to chat?"

"Then I'm in a hurry to go to sea. You can tell me on the way."

"Interesting, I thought you wanted to run away."

"Run? Why run?"

"It seems that you are very confident in your own abilities!"

"Wait a moment...Okay."

Han Zu tied the already untied rope back again. He didn't want to accidentally damage the boat when a fight broke out. Although he could swim across, taking a boat was still more comfortable than swimming.

"What do you mean? Do you want to chat first and then fight? Or just come straight away? I'm fine with either."

"You are so confident that you are a little arrogant. I'll give you a chance. Let's talk first."

The man standing opposite Han Zu was wearing beach shorts, an open-necked beach shirt, and no shoes. He had his hands in his trouser pockets. He stood on the dock, looking down at Han Zu on the deck with amusement.

"Need help?"

"Oh, you're a very nice person."

The man opposite Han Zu stretched out his hand towards him, but he was not going to help Han Zu, he was just pretending. Han Zu ignored him and went up to the dock by himself.

"What's your name?" the man opposite asked.

"Albert, the Albert from Albert Industries in the city. What's your name?"

"Found it. It's no use for a dead person to know my name."

The man in front of him took a hand out of his pocket and placed it in front of Han Zu, with his index finger pointing upwards and a disdainful smile on his face.

"Are you doing some kind of performance art?"

Han Zu was a little confused about the situation. The guy in front of him made a very childish gesture, and then... nothing happened.

"Oh? Can it counteract certain magic skills? I didn't expect a dungeon boss to be so powerful. Not bad. Now I won't be bored anymore."

The man in front of him stretched out his other hand, clasped his hands together and then separated them. An orange-red fireball emitting energy fluctuations appeared in the air in front of him. He stretched out a finger and lightly flicked the fireball, then put his hands back in his pockets and turned around to leave.

"It was pretty easy, but it took some time to find someone."

"Hush... huh..."

The sound of the man's breathing and the smell of tobacco coming from behind him suddenly made him stop in his tracks. He turned around abruptly, but saw a shocking scene. Han Zu was holding the fireball filled with powerful energy in his hand, and then... he used it as a lighter.

"Bah."

The fireball was crushed easily by Han Zu. Holding a cigarette in his mouth, Han Zu looked at the man in front of him whose expression had become solemn. He slowly took off his clothes and threw them to Garcia on the boat behind him.

"Thank you for the lighter, but this behavior is already considered an attack. I can't just let you go like this."

As he spoke, Han Zu walked slowly towards the man in front of him, and the man in front of him finally faced the enemy in front of him. This boss was much more powerful than he had imagined.

The man's body was quickly filled with energy flow, and his speed suddenly doubled, but it was obvious that speed was not his forte. Even though his speed was twice as fast, it made no difference in Han Zu's eyes.

"Crack!!"

Several lightning chains shot out from the man's fingertips. Due to the close distance, all the lightning chains hit Han Zu, and the dispersion was not large. However, Han Zu, who was continuously attacked by lightning chains, did not feel anything at all, and even did not activate his abilities in this copy.

The power from the black shadow made Han Zu's body automatically absorb the lightning chains after coming into contact with them. Han Zu felt that his condition was better and his steps were lighter.

The man opposite did not notice this. He used the thrust of the lightning chain to create some distance between himself and Han Zu. He stomped his foot on the ground, and an area with a radius of about 20 meters appeared on the tourist pier with his body as the center, just covering Han Zu and separating Garcia and the speedboat outside.

Han Zu stretched out his hand and felt it. The air in the area was filled with stable energy, and his body was constantly absorbing this energy. It was so comfortable that Han Zu wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but he couldn't rest for the time being because there was still a lot to do.

"Kick!"

Han Zu suddenly felt his body sink, as if something was pressing on him. He guessed it was some kind of gravity magic. If it was done before absorbing the black shadow, it might be a little tricky. But now, it was almost like a massage.

However, because of this novel feeling, Han Zu's footsteps still paused, which made the enemies in the launch area mistakenly believe that Han Zu was hit. A series of attacks immediately followed, and a huge fireball flew towards Han Zu at a rapid speed.

“Kala-la!”

"laugh....."

However, at the moment when the fireball touched Han Zu's body, several black tentacles that kept changing shape and looked blurry suddenly drilled out of Han Zu's skin at the point where the fireball touched his body, and pierced into the fireball, making some noises. After being invaded by the tentacles, the fireball quickly shrank, and then was abruptly pulled into Han Zu's body.

However, all this happened so fast that even Han Zu could not see clearly, let alone the enemy on the opposite side. The enemy thought that this should be some kind of defense mechanism of Han Zu, and a single attack would not have any good effect. Moreover, the enemy did not realize that Han Zu was not the boss in the dungeon, but a special player who replaced his body.

A series of fireballs of the same size flew towards Han Zu again. They attacked Han Zu from different angles. Han Zu stretched out his hand in advance this time, not to block or parry, but to take the initiative to touch the fireballs. Han Zu caught the fireballs easily, as if they were just ordinary spheres. He held the fireballs in his hands, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.

The enemy was shocked when he saw this. He had never expected that Han Zu could deal with his attack so easily.

Han Zu's mouth corners slightly raised, he squeezed hard, and the fireball instantly dissipated, turning into sparks that floated away.

"Thank you for your lighter, but I have already lit my cigarette. I can't use so many lighters for the time being." Han Zu joked.

The enemy's face turned ugly, and he began to cast more fierce magic, trying to defeat Han Zu. Dozens of wind blades formed by energy appeared beside him and flew towards Han Zu. Together with the remaining fireballs, they formed a fire tornado that wrapped Han Zu in the center. In the eye of the storm, there were also lightning chains and lava balls connected to the fire tornado that bombarded Han Zu, but apart from burning the cigarette in Han Zu's mouth in advance and burning Han Zu's pants a little shorter, there was no actual effect.

"Boss, stop playing, we still have to look for people on the sea."

"Oh, I know."

Garcia on the boat had already predicted the direction of this battle. Han Zu did nothing except use the opponent's fireball as a lighter. He didn't even move. It was obvious that he was just experimenting with the ability of the shadow, and even playing with it. So in order to save time, Garcia reminded Han Zu that there was still work to do.

In the enemy's eyes, the fire tornado was expanding, which made the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He thought it was a sign that the enemy was about to be destroyed. However, things immediately went in the opposite direction.

When the fire tornado expanded to his side, a strong arm stretched out from the fire tornado, grabbed his neck, strangled his throat, and lifted him up. The gradually increasing feeling of suffocation made him lose control of the domain and energy, and the fire storm wrapped in lightning chains and magma balls disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Han Zu looked at the man in his hand expressionlessly, while his other hand was rummaging around on the man's body. He took out a pack of cigarettes from the man's trouser pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then put the cigarette box into his own trouser pocket.

The man's hands tried hard to pry Han Zu's fingers apart, but they were as strong as steel bars and he had no way of breaking free. However, this was not the end yet. He could feel a powerful energy being transmitted from Han Zu's palms.

"boom!"

The man's body suddenly began to burn rapidly from the inside, and he turned into a fire man. The unbearable pain caused by his body being engulfed by the black flames made him howl miserably.

"Thanks. I just finished smoking mine." Han Zu said as he leaned his head over, lit the cigarette with the burning enemy's, and took a deep breath. Perhaps because the enemy's shouting was too noisy, Han Zu twisted his neck and threw the enemy's body off the dock and onto the beach.

He turned around and walked back to the speedboat, untied the rope, and lay down on the seat with his hands on the armrest. Garcia started the speedboat and drove towards the location where the energy ball was shot. The boat left the dock, leaving the man's body burned to ashes on the beach.

"It seems that our previous judgment was somewhat wrong."

"About this copy?"

"No, it's about me."

"how to say?"

Han Zu and Garcia started talking. In the previous test, Han Zu thought that the Gift of the Dead Realm only strengthened his physical fitness and had nothing to do with weapons. In addition, he was able to adapt to various environments before, which was also due to the special shape of his body. However, when Han Zu killed the enemy just now, the black flames appeared again, proving that he was completely wrong before and underestimated the power of the Gift of the Dead Realm.

"In other words, whether or not those weapons and abilities are taken away actually makes no difference to you, because the Gift of the Dead Realm has already learned their attack methods and functions?"

"That's the theory. In other words, weapons and abilities are like... textbooks? And the Gift of the Dead is a genius who can remember everything he learns. As long as he has experience of using it, he can retain that ability or method of attack forever."

"But you can only use the flame again now, and you need certain conditions to use it."

"Hoo-boom."

"Not really."

Walking to the driver's seat, Han Zu leaned against the console, spread out his palm and placed it next to Garcia. A ball of hot black flame containing terrifying energy appeared in his palm and he could retract it freely.

"I just need to find a way to awaken these abilities."

"It's like, you already have these abilities, but you just forgot how to use them?"

"You can say that."

Knowing this is undoubtedly a huge help to Han Zu. This means that even in the new mode of the copy, these temporary abilities, as long as Han Zu has used them once, as long as he finds a way to activate them, he can permanently obtain the right to use these abilities. This shows that it will be extremely difficult for Unlimited Company to restrict Han Zu.

"If that's the case, I'm even more curious about the abilities in this copy. It can be activated but has no effect. I have to find a way to test its function."

"Well, here comes the opportunity."

Garcia raised her chin towards the sea ahead. A medium-sized sightseeing boat appeared on the sea level not far away. Just as Garcia was about to slow down and approach, some bright spots suddenly flew towards their speedboat.

"Here's your chance to experiment."

Han Zu passed the driving seat and stood at the bow. He activated his ability and waited for the light balls to attack him. As the light balls accelerated a second time in the air, the first light ball was about to hit Han Zu soon.

"Ping!"

"Bang~!"

The moment the light ball touched his body, Han Zu's body moved faster than he could think. Even before Han Zu could fully react, the first light ball that touched Han Zu was sucked back into the sea, making a hissing sound.

"Ping Pong!"

"Bang! Plop... Plop..."

As more light balls flew over, ping-pong sounds rang out continuously. All the light balls were blocked and bounced into the sea. Not even a single one broke through Han Zu's defense line. The speedboat was not damaged at all and was rapidly closing the distance with the sightseeing boat.

After a minute or two, the speedboat stopped at the stern of the sightseeing boat, put on the rope, and Han Zu and Garcia boarded the sightseeing boat and walked towards the only lighted position, the cockpit.

"Parrying is simple and practical, not bad, but I don't know if it can only defend against long-range attacks, or both long-range and short-range attacks."

"You'll know if you try it."

Patting Han Zu's arm, Garcia nodded towards the deck in front of him, where several figures blocked their way.

"Let me ask you something! Who was the one who threw the ball just now? I have something to ask him!"

However, no one paid any attention to Han Zu, and the enemies quickly launched an attack without saying a word.

"half each?"

"Those who are capable should do more work."

Spitting out the cigarette butt in his mouth, Han Zu walked towards the enemy group attacking from the opposite side. Garcia also called out his substitute and began to fight together. For a while, the sound of fighting was endless, and the atmosphere on the sightseeing boat became tense and solemn in an instant.

Seeing that Garcia was handling several enemies with ease and not losing the upper hand, Han Zu was no longer in a hurry to end the battle. He wanted to try out this parrying ability to see if he could test its upper and lower limits.

"Ping pong! Bang! Chi...Crack!"

The sounds of blocking and parrying rang out, and the battle was in full swing.
