Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 171: Chapter 145: Another Sneak Attack! (2)

Mikhail I struck mercilessly with his sword, driving the Golden Throne to the back of the True Self’s head, aiming to sever his neck.

At the critical moment, Erin arrived.

As a Master of Light Magic, Erin had surpassed the limitations of Magic Skills in her application of the Holy Light.

At this moment, Erin used the Holy Light to manifest a pair of wings, briefly gaining the power of flight, and simultaneously launched a Determined Charge at Mikhail I, striking the Golden Greatsword before it could fall.

Encased in the strong Will of the Light of Steadfastness, even the Golden Greatsword could not cut through it. Erin not only deflected this attack but also sent Mikhail I, along with his throne, flying.

Having knocked back Mikhail I, Erin did not pursue him; instead, she used her Warhammer as a Magic Wand, waving it towards Wu Chang.

The immense Holy Light surged from Erin, enveloping Wu Chang True Self, bringing with it warmth as his nearly severed left hand was restored to its original state.

True Self clenched his left fist, the effects of the restored Magic showing no signs of stiffness.

Having a powerful healer at your side brings such comfort.

After healing True Self’s severed hand, Erin did not stop, transforming the Holy Light into a series of complex talismans that surrounded them.

Soon, four different talismans encircled them, each representing a buff: increased speed, reduced damage, increased power, and continuous life value recovery.

This set of buffs increased True Self’s combat power by at least 30%, inducing an overwhelming sense of invincibility.

He immediately felt the impulse of being empowered, urging him to strike.

However, before he could savor the surge in power, Mikhail I, who had crashed to the ground, transformed his Golden Greatsword into a Scepter, unleashing an invisible shockwave from its tip.

The shockwave not only dispelled the stunning effect of the Determined Charge but also shattered the magic buff talismans on the two of them instantly.

This is the Scepter form of the Golden Throne, capable of purifying one’s own negative status and the enemy’s buff statuses.

Besides purification, the Scepter originally had a spiritual attack judgment that made those who failed the judgment submit, unable to muster the will to attack for a short time.

However, none present had a Will below 70, rendering the spiritual attack virtually ineffective.

Seeing Mikhail I free from his daze, Erin hovered in the air, shielding the 17-meter-tall Wu Chang True Self behind her, saying, ”You cannot withstand his attack; take cover behind me and wait for an opportunity to strike.”

If anyone asked Wu Chang what could be more comforting than having a powerful healer behind him, he would certainly answer that it’s having a powerful healer who can also fight standing in front.

Erin once again launched a Determined Charge, rushing towards Mikhail I.

Mikhail I was just about to transform his Scepter back into a Greatsword, when he suddenly saw a bolt of lightning burst from the thunderclouds above, charging straight at him.

Possessing the Blood Moon Power, he naturally feared lightning. He dared not be reckless and could only transform the Scepter into Golden Armor, enduring the lightning strike from above.

He could withstand the lightning, but he couldn’t withstand Erin’s Determined Charge.

The pressure Erin gave him was even greater than that of Wu Chang True Self with Super-Grade Power; the Golden Armor could only defend against damage and could not remove the control effect.

He had already experienced Erin’s Determined Charge, the stun it inflicted posed a significant threat, and if Erin and Wu Chang True Self closed in during the stun period, attacking him relentlessly, he would have no choice but to maintain the Golden Armor, unable to free his hands to use the Scepter to remove the stun.

Then, he would only have to wait for his energy to deplete and be taken down by a hammer blow.

Fortunately, his trump cards were not limited to one.

As the second bolt of lightning fell, he clapped his hands together.

Erin, who was less than a meter away from him, seemed to ”freeze” in mid-air as if in slow motion.

If observed closely, one could see Erin was not stationary, her body was continually moving, and her speed had not decreased, but the final meter felt like a chasm separating them, impossible to cross.

This was the capability of the Golden Throne: Space Folding.

He continuously folded the space between them, not only neutralizing Erin’s attack but also creating a confined space cage, trapping her in a small area.

As a price, the red crystal embedded in the Golden Throne was entirely consumed, starting to massively deplete his core Energy.

But being able to temporarily seal off the most threatening target was certainly worth it.

Boom!

As the third bolt of lightning struck, the energies of the distant figure were depleted, causing the thunderclouds overhead to dissipate.

A being without energy is no different from useless.

With one trapped in a Space Cage and another with depleted Energy, the only enemy left for him was that giant.

Dealing with an opponent with brute strength was the easiest task imaginable.

Just as Mikhail I internally declared victory in the battle, he saw True Self charging at him while letting out a final cry:

”Man!”

Slow? What does it mean?

Mikhail I frowned, looking at Wu Chang True Self coming at him with a flying elbow; he could feel himself being locked onto, much like Erin’s Determined Charge—another locking skill.

Indeed, having developed limbs and a simple mind, he still hasn’t learned his lesson.

He sighed, and when Wu Chang True Self was a meter away, he clapped his hands together once more, creating Space Folding again.
