Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 178: Chapter 147: Polar Reversal

The only thing he couldn’t figure out was that according to his subsequent investigation, the Good Luck Dungeon was broken through by that monster newcomer. Why was Lei Hu able to obtain the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp?

Could it be that the monster newcomer was secretly cultivated by the Iron Armor Corps, asking Lei Hu to help in times of crisis?

It’s impossible for the monster newcomer to have joined this dungeon, right? According to the information from the informant, the monster newcomer had just dispersed and broken through the Peaceful Town a week ago. How could he enter the dungeon again after just one week?

He couldn’t figure it out, but it didn’t matter, Lei Hu would eventually confess anyway.

Fire Master ascended the lift and came all the way to the top floor of the Soul Light Cathedral, standing on the observation deck of the cathedral’s upper level, waving down to the followers below.

The Undying Soul Fire on the top floor of the cathedral erupted, the flames shooting straight into the sky.

Watching the Undying Soul Fire rekindle, the followers knelt on the ground, crying with excitement.

Fire Master looked at the scene below, unable to help but smile at the corners of his mouth.

Just wait a little longer, until the time is right, then he can harvest this ripe fruit!

Meanwhile, in Cabin 44, Wu Chang and his companions left Mikhail I’s Eternal Life Tomb Chamber, heading towards the cemetery exit.

Due to Mikhail I’s arrangement, Cemetery 44 is the center of the Blood Moon Eternal Life ritual, and the surrounding Blood Moon Energy has been completely absorbed by the Eternal Life Tomb Chamber, making Cemetery 44 exceptionally quiet with few undead.

Even if there are, they are afraid of the Crown worn by Erin, staying far away from them.

Wu Chang carried the Gravekeeper’s Oil Lamp at the forefront, followed by Han’er, who endlessly nagged him.

Han’er sneaked peeks at Erin, who had put the Black Robe on again, and kept asking Wu Chang if during his world travels he had brought out the goddess of faith.

Initially, Wu Chang had the mood to respond a couple of times, but later he didn’t bother replying to Han’er, just pretended not to hear.

However, Han’er didn’t intend to give up. Having witnessed Erin’s True Divine Body, she was convinced that she was indeed a true goddess.

Compared to Erin, the Pope of the Soul Light Sect and the Great Sage of the Spirit Medicine Sect are mere mortals whose limits are easily seen.

She began to discuss the initiation with Wu Chang in a voice loud enough for Erin to hear, asking if the foreign religion Wu Chang believed in could request the goddess to perform miracles.

No need for great miracles, just a small miracle like resurrecting the dead would do; if possible, she would do anything, even offering her soul.

Wu Chang had no interest in Han’er’s proposal, but Erin saw Han’er’s sincerity and patiently explained:

”Gods are not omnipotent beings; they are merely higher life forms. Even they must follow the rules of the plane. If it’s a recently deceased person, maybe I can think of a way while the soul has not dissipated. Your lover has been dead for too long; even a god more powerful than me would be powerless.”

After hearing Erin’s words, Han’er, who had reignited hope, seemed somewhat despondent.

As the group walked, Wu Chang suddenly stopped, staring at the figure that appeared ahead.

With the Oil Lamp, Wu Chang recognized the visitor’s appearance; it was one of the eight players—the one he remembered was named...

Oh, he hadn’t had a chance to introduce himself before being interrupted by Lei Hu and the cannon.

However, it didn’t matter; he had learned his name from the Blood-Colored Will on the person.

Oda, from Sakura Island.

Soon, avoid speaking Korean profanity; instead, say ”Idiot.”

Oda obviously came without goodwill, as he didn’t even intend to introduce himself, offensively scrutinizing Wu Chang up and down.

Judging from Wu Chang and his companions’ status, there were no signs of battle on them, and the entire Cemetery 44 didn’t seem affected by the Blood Moon.

It should be that the thing Bishop Reeve and they were doing absorbed the pressure Cemetery 44 was supposed to bear.

Looking at the silly Wu Chang before him, Oda thought that truly the foolish have their blessings.

”Are you the Gravekeeper of Cemetery 44?”

Wu Chang raised his eyebrow, unsure of Oda’s intentions, and asked: ”What’s the matter?”

Oda, with an air of superiority, imperiously said: ”Have you seen a convoy enter Cemetery 44?”

Wu Chang seemed unaware of the hostility in Oda’s words and answered honestly, ”I’ve seen them, but they are my clients; I can’t reveal specifics.”

Upon hearing that Reeve was Wu Chang’s client, Oda seemed doubtful; could this newbie be part of the Saint Heir plan?

If so, he can’t be easily killed until after his use.

”I’m with Bishop Reeve; his commission is related to my mission. If you help me, should you encounter trouble in the dungeon later, I can help you solve it,” Oda casually made a big promise and then tossed a token of the Soul Light Church.

Wu Chang was pleased to hear and immediately said: ”I took them to a special tomb chamber. Follow me, they’re performing a ritual inside, which hasn’t ended yet.”

With that, he started leading Oda to find the Eternal Life Tomb Chamber.

Oda nodded and followed behind, asking while walking: ”They had you open the door but didn’t make you stay to guard the ritual?”

As they arrived at a vacant area filled with tombstones and sparse trees, Wu Chang shrugged and said: ”They asked me to guard, but I didn’t agree.”

”Hmm?” Oda frowned, sensing something was off.

”What do you mean?”

Wu Chang turned his head, revealing a sinister expression like a behind-the-scenes hand of the dungeon.

”They want to stop the greatness of Mikhail I’s Eternal Life. Did you know if their plan succeeds and they truly seize the Blood Moon Energy, dividing Mikhail I, this dungeon might be broken through.”

Upon hearing this, Erin beside Wu Chang moved; she raised the Light of Steadfastness and launched a charge towards the edge of the woods.

The locked target wanted to escape but was too late. In the blink of an eye, Erin reached him, and with a swing of the hammer, not only stunning but nearly sending him off to hell.

The target was plunged into unconsciousness, and Oda, who had been beside Wu Chang, suddenly transformed into a wooden man and dropped to the ground.

Wu Chang walked to the woods, looked at the critical Oda, and clicked his tongue disdainfully; the Agility Specialization player was too fragile, taking just one hammer and left with slivers of health.

Oda thought he had hidden well, but in front of Wu Chang’s nearly hundred points of Inspiration, the Blood-Colored Will on Oda’s body was as conspicuous as a light in the dark.

Previously, it was just due to complex terrain that Erin couldn’t launch a charge immediately, not capturing him the first time they met.

”Erin, give him a purification, then go over there and chat with Han’er about her dead wife; the next spectacle is not suitable for kids.”

Under Erin’s Purification Technique, Oda gradually awakened, he was about to say something but had a dagger inserted into his mouth.

”Shh, don’t speak.”

Wu Chang twisted his wrist, physically silencing Oda.

Watching Oda’s wide-eyed stare, Wu Chang sneered coldly and said: ”I let you wake because I want you to die understanding everything. Let me be honest, someone important needs this dungeon to lose control; I won’t let anyone ruin that person’s plan.”

”So, little idiot, you can only blame yourself for choosing the wrong side, stubbornly siding with the breakthrough player.”

After saying this, without waiting for any reaction from Oda, he pulled out the Dawn Hammer and directly executed Oda.

With Oda’s death, the Blood-Colored Will on him disappeared.

The Ranger’s Blood-Colored Will stated [Kill Oda and declare the reason for killing him before his death; it’s because the dungeon must lose control, and he must not be allowed to complete the breakthrough.]

Tsk, high revenge spirit, he liked it very much.

Clearly, the Ranger’s will was fulfilled through revenge; this method of being misunderstood as the enemy, then directly killed without explanation while declaring the cause was infuriating.

Even someone like Oda, a ninja, couldn’t hold back, his eyes splitting with rage before dying, looking even angrier than the Ranger.

Just one thing surprised Wu Chang: in his angry state, Oda also formed a Blood-Colored Will, and this will attached directly to Wu Chang.

The Blood-Colored Will content was:

[Complete the Midnight Graveyard Dungeon Breakthrough; I want a pyrrhic victory with that bastard!]
