Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 172: Chapter 145: Another Sneak Attack! (3)

This time, he didn’t add a Space Cage; firstly, because the Wu Chang True Self is too large, and generating a Space Cage consumes too much energy; secondly, if he seals the big guy in front of him, who would he go to attack?

He didn’t have time to transform the Golden Armor into a Golden Greatsword before he saw the Space Folding ahead, which didn’t manage to block the Wu Chang True Self. A massive elbow the size of a dump truck broke through the Space Folding, hit him directly, and sent him along with his throne flying with an elbow strike.

This time, Mikhail I flew even further than before, crashing into the stands of the Dueling Arena, collapsing nearly a quarter of the arena.

Luckily, he didn’t manage to switch out of his Golden Armor; otherwise, a 170 power elbow strike to his face might have turned him into a mush instantly.

Even though the Golden Armor absorbed all the damage, Wu Chang’s power was still too strong, with some force penetrating through the armor, causing him considerable harm.

At the same time, the various effects attached to the Mamba Iron Elbow also impacted him greatly; even though he resisted half of the abnormal statuses, he was still affected by blindness, bleeding, and weakening states.

Damn it, how come so many powerful freaks appeared after a period of slumber?

If he had this kind of power back then, why would he have gone to great lengths to pursue miracles?

Due to the blindness effect, Mikhail I was shrouded in darkness, but through vibrations transmitted from the ground and constant alarms relayed from his subconscious, he could deduce the big guy was approaching.

If this continues, he will die.

No choice now.

Aside from the throne and the Golden Armor, a third form of the Golden Throne, the Scepter, appeared in his hand.

As the Scepter touched the ground, a violent shockwave erupted, flipping over the approaching True Self, while dispelling all his abnormal statuses.

Mikhail I slowly opened his eyes, with blood-red eyes that seemed like a demon from Hell.

Originally, he had to undergo a second baptism with the Blood Moon to complete the Blood Moon Eternal Life thoroughly before he could simultaneously use the three forms of the Golden Throne.

He was prematurely awakened, and the second blood moon baptism half-failed. If he absorbs all the Blood Moon Power from Luz and others, he might still salvage it.

However, forcibly employing power that does not belong to him has already heralded his complete failure in achieving Blood Moon Eternal Life.

The consequence of failure means he has become a monster just like Luz, never able to achieve immortality.

If they hinder him from achieving eternal life through the Blood Moon, then they shall become a part of him, allowing him to carve another path to immortality!

Using the Golden Scepter to dispel negative statuses, the Golden Scepter and Golden Armor transformed into Golden Particles, reshaping into a Crown and a Great Sword.

Mikhail I, without reservation, poured all his energy into the Crown and Golden Greatsword; under the amplification of the Crown, the Golden Greatsword extended into a Light Blade, with a length reaching the sky, nearly forty meters long.

This forty-meter-long two-handed giant sword, when swung combined with Mikhail I’s space manipulation abilities, could easily cover the entire Dueling Arena, leaving nowhere to hide.

And the attack characteristic of the Golden Greatsword, once struck, guarantees death without survival.

Mikhail I at this moment, has abandoned all defenses, merging all his power into this single strike.

”Die!”

As he roared and was about to swing the giant sword, he suddenly heard a swoosh sound, and his eye corner faintly caught a glimpse of a silver light.

The sound was low and brief, without a violent explosion or heart-shaking rumble, just a plain sound of wind-breaking.

But after this sound, Mikhail I felt a coolness at his forehead, touched it, and found a hole at his forehead, with blood flowing from it, streaming into his eyes.

The power gathered throughout his body quickly dissipated through the small hole at his forehead, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

He felt a surge of overwhelming weakness, as he began to lose control of his body, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground.

Unwillingly, he looked towards the direction of the silver light, only to see that the energy-exhausted guy he considered worthless, was blowing on a peculiar small piece of metal.

What in the world happened?

Whew. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Wu Chang blew the muzzle of the gun, gazed at the distant, slumped Mikhail I, feeling a surge of pride.

A shot straight to the soul!

He was born to be a black gun shooter!

As the boss of the Abyssal Game instance, which one doesn’t have a few tricks up their sleeve; from the beginning, he was prepared for Mikhail I’s hidden moves.

But Mikhail I’s tricks wouldn’t be too many; in normal mode, he could operate two forms simultaneously, so his trump card would at most be a strong hidden form or simultaneous control of three forms.

If it exceeds this range, then it’s not hidden moves but a breakthrough during combat.

Although by that stage, he had countermeasures, as long as it didn’t reach that point, he could rely on previous setups to take down Mikhail I.

The method is, sneak attack!

The True Self was too large, the pressure from its power too great, and because it sneaked a victory loot, it caught Mikhail I’s special attention, thus it couldn’t serve as the sneak attacker.

Originally, he considered letting Erin make the sneak attack, but because of Mikhail I’s counterattack, Erin had appeared early to save True Self and treat its injuries, losing her invisibility and unable to act as the surprise element.

The final responsibility for sneak attack had to fall on the main body.

So, after the battle began, Wu Chang activated Summoning Celestial Thunder, creating a thundercloud covering everyone.

He not only didn’t hide his form but used this method to emphasize his presence, fearing Mikhail I might overlook him.

After the Three Thunder Strikes of Thousand Thunder Summon, allowing Mikhail I to perceive him depleting energy, he activated Social Phobia, hiding in the distance and starting to charge.

The key to the sneak attack lies in his recently upgraded item, Dawn Hammer.

After future modification, Dawn Hammer obtained a Multi-Function Expansion Pack item, extending sniping, penetration, charging, bouncing, exploding five modes for Dawn Hammer.

Wu Chang utilized the charging mode among them.

”Skill Name: Expansion Mode—Charging”

”Skill Description: Keep pulling the trigger to enter charging state, every 3 seconds adds a layer of charge, maximum stacks up to 8 layers. Upon reaching full charge, bullets in the magazine can be merged into one to shoot, dealing 400% damage.”

”Note: Special effects attached to bullets are influenced by charge bonus.”

Wu Chang merged eight silver bullets into one through charging state, with a 0.7 caliber’s powerful destructive power, combined with silver bullet’s double damage effect on monsters; as long as Mikhail I wasn’t in Golden Armor state and took this shot, if not dead, he would at least be severely wounded.

In fact, the result was more successful than Wu Chang predicted.

A hit to the forehead directly sent Mikhail I into critical condition, rendering him unable to control the Golden Throne, with the Inner World in the Dueling Arena shattering instantly, freeing Erin from the Space Cage’s restraint.

He maneuvered the True Self towards Mikhail I; once the boss is finished, it’s time for recompense.
