Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 492: Chapter 249: Joy_2

In Schultz’s divine embodiment, countless virtues and sins of people were integrated. According to Hymn Company’s transformation technology, each virtue and sin corresponded to a different Essence Armor and Disqualified Monster, which in turn corresponded to different powers.

On Schultz, it was equivalent to him possessing thousands of different powers, which he could freely combine and arrange at will.

Not only that, Wu Chang also noticed that as soon as Schultz saw the opponent using an ability, he could quickly find a counter to it.

The restraint relationship in battles between players is extremely important.

It’s like in traditional online games where the Assassin restrains the Mage, the Mage restrains the tank, the tank restrains the Warrior, and the Warrior restrains the Assassin.

No matter how developed a fully equipped six-god ADC, if caught by a top lane Warrior with just three items, would still be kicked to death like a stray dog by the roadside.

Attribute restraint, and losing the first move, makes a level-crossing challenge not impossible.

Moreover, Schultz’s stats were still above the others.

With both stats and mechanics, and a countering position, it was like in the game, you’d just play on your phone and wait for the next match.

The three struggled for a few minutes before realizing victory was hopeless.

Mercury gave up the offensive, blinked back to Chiba several times, and took the World Tree Branch from Chiba’s hand.

”Give me another material!”

Faced with Mercury’s demand, Chiba was somewhat displeased and was about to say something when she felt Fei Guang press down on her shoulder. Turning back, she saw Fei Guang gently shaking his head.

By this stage, there was no turning back.

If Mercury and the others died, they wouldn’t fare well either, and if pressured, Mercury might even use them as material.

With the force against them, given their power and status, they could only cooperate, having no choice in the matter.

Chiba looked at Fei Guang with eyes full of disappointment, but Fei Guang stood by Mercury and the others. What else could she do?

She removed the bud she wore as a hair accessory and planted it into the ground, where it quickly grew to the size of a person.

The bud opened, revealing the unconscious mist inside.

Ignoring the two’s feelings, Mercury tore open the mist’s chest, using his blood as ink and the World Tree Branch as a pen, with the mist serving as the contract parchment, he quickly began writing on the mist’s chest.

When the last rune was written, the World Tree Branch in his hand turned into a puddle of golden liquid, merging into the mist and coating the mist’s runes with a layer of gold.

Mercury’s face showed a look of pain. The World Tree Branch was an A-level consumable growing in the Realm of Reason, equivalent in value to the worst S-level item in the Desolate Realm. Using it like this would make even him feel the loss.

However, he couldn’t afford to worry about much at the moment, as long as he could obtain the All-Knowing Crystal, no amount of sacrifice was too great.

”Boss, wake up quickly, we can’t handle that guy!”

Upon hearing Mercury’s call, the mist opened his eyes, slowly rose, and sat cross-legged within the flower.

Bong~

A grand bell sound rang out, and a gust of wind emerged around Mercury, blowing the mist’s short hair away, revealing a smooth bald head.

Bong~

The mist’s body writhed, becoming gaunt and dark, with a great red kasaya appearing on him.

Bong~

The flower the mist sat cross-legged on transformed into a Lotus Platform, and the lotus seeds from the platform turned into prayer beads, falling into the mist’s hand.

As the mist twisted the prayer beads, he completely transformed into the leader of the mysterious organization—Joy. He slowly opened his eyes and said:

”You guys really don’t let me rest easy.”

Mercury immediately said: ”Boss, the target has been recognized by the All-Knowing Crystal, and our powers are suppressed by the intermediate layer. We can’t do anything.”

It’s not that we are weak, but the opponent has hacks.

Upon hearing Mercury’s words, the displeasure on Joy’s face turned into delight. ”An awakened All-Knowing Crystal?! Good, good, you guys have done well.”

Joy stood up from the Lotus Platform, his gaze turned towards Schultz, and Schultz, drawn by Joy’s aura, lowered his head to look at him as well.

Joy gazed at the All-Knowing Crystal on Schultz’s brow, his face lit up with joy, as if he had encountered an extraordinary fortune.

Schultz, however, was the opposite. His expression was grave, and his brows unconsciously furrowed.

He couldn’t see any flaw in the monk in front of him.

Joy stepped down from the Lotus Platform, with each step, his height increased by ten meters, and after a few steps, he was level with Schultz’s height.

Then, with a wave of his great red kasaya sleeve, all the insect swarms surrounding Aksu were frozen in place; the overwhelming meteors heading for Perun were directly collected into his sleeve; and the Slow Domain and Gravity Field originally used to trap Mercury disappeared in an instant.

Everything was as light as a cloud, as if he was just sweeping dust off a table.

Watching from the hundredth floor of the Hymn Company building, Wu Chang couldn’t help but curse, no, this bald guy’s combat power is off the charts.

The gigantic Joy, coated entirely in a layer of gold, seemed like the Golden Buddha Statue worshipped in temples had come to life.

His face was solemn and dignified, and he said to Schultz: ”Do you feel the gap?”

Seeing no way to counter Joy, Schultz could only go all out. He condensed the black and white representing virtues and sins into a Knight’s Lance and thrust it straight at Joy, but Joy casually caught and firmly held the tip of the lance.

With a slight exertion of force from Joy, gold emitted from his palm, extending along the lance towards Schultz.

Schultz hurried to disperse the lance, but the gold spread relentlessly like a bone-attached maggot, reaching onto his body.

Before Schultz could react further, Joy stepped forward and struck Schultz’s chest with his palm.
