Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 180: Chapter 148: Beyond the Barrier (Part 2)

Avoiding Erin’s gaze, he first checked the transparent tentacles.

”Item Name: Twisted Consciousness Body”

”Item Type: Special”

”Item Description: A part from a certain powerful entity, containing immense energy, can be used as alchemy materials.”

The transparent tentacles should come from a being deep within the Abyss, but compared to Leman’s real eyeball, a piece of consciousness body tentacle is worth much less.

Maybe it can be sold for a good price as alchemy materials, but it’s too troublesome. Such high-level materials might not be applicable to alchemy players in the Desolate Realm, so it would be better to use it as an energy body, letting it directly convert into immediate combat strength.

He first took out the Mortal Poison but found it had no appetite, then took out the Golden Throne.

The Golden Throne wasn’t picky at all. After activating the skill ”Treasure,” the transparent tentacle turned into a fist-sized transparent diamond, which he embedded onto the Golden Throne, instantly activating the other three forms of the Golden Throne.

Acquiring the transparent tentacle was just an additional gain from the Blood-Colored Will, which, besides bringing Wu Chang attribute values, also granted a skill.

”Skill Name: Iaido”

”Skill Level: B”

”Skill Description: Accumulate energy to enhance the next attack. The effect can stack with other skills. Enhancement depends on charging time, with a charge limit of three seconds and a maximum damage increase of three times.”

”Note: A true master strikes instantly, killing with a single blow!”

The effect of the Iaido skill is straightforward and brutal, simply charging for a critical hit — the longer the charge, the more painful the hit.

The skill has two highlights: first, the charging length can be freely chosen, second, there’s no weapon limit.

In other words, he can completely use the Dawn Hammer’s charging mode and stack it, increasing his sneak attack damage.

Who says American Iaido isn’t Iaido?

Having cataloged his gains, Wu Chang and Han’er found the horses ridden by Luz and others when they came, and hurried towards the Sirena City District.

Having slain Mikhail I, the main quest of the dungeon didn’t announce completion, and the Blood-Colored Will of Miracle Moon hadn’t settled, indicating everything was not over yet.

The missing part of the breakthrough should be resolving the unrest brought by Blood Moon Eternal Life and the Soul Light Sect.

The zombie tide triggered by the Blood Moon is currently gathering towards the Sirena City District, and upon arrival, both troubles can be solved together.

On the journey, Wu Chang’s brows remained furrowed, with no joy of the dungeon about to break through.

The reason lay in the intel he gathered from the Wandering Spirit’s Grudge.

The Soul Light Sect is a branch of the Peaceful Sect. That group of Evil God followers are naturally born bad Bs, and causing chaos to please Leman is entirely normal.

But why would someone hire the Iron Armor Corps, deliberately letting the dungeon spiral out of control?

Would they only target the Midnight Graveyard Dungeon?

Wu Chang thought this was very unlikely. From the fragmented memories of the Ranger, he saw that just the Iron Armor Corps alone accepted commissions to throw four dungeons out of control.

His inspiration told him that those who hired the Iron Armor Corps are probably more troublesome than the Peace Church.

A madman going mad is normal, but if a sane person goes mad, the purpose he intends to achieve through madness likely won’t be simple.

He had a premonition that something big was coming.

On their way to the Sirena City District, they encountered several waves of zombies.

The zombies influenced by the Blood Moon were extremely aggressive, actively attacking all living beings along the way.

Symbolizing tranquility, Sirena had no peace at all.

As an old Sirena resident, Han’er’s face was so grim it could wring water.

”That bunch of bastards from the Soul Light Sect, they really dare to do this!”

If Blood Moon Eternal Life were Mikhail I’s crime, attacking the Gravekeeper and letting Blood Moon Eternal Life affect all of Sirena was definitely orchestrated by the Soul Light Sect.

In the Holy City Sirena, doing such a thing, the intention is obvious.

To trigger a divine miracle.

However, Han’er couldn’t comprehend, the Soul Light Sect could clearly trigger miracles stably, so why use such a method?

Han’er couldn’t understand, but Wu Chang understood very well.

From the resurrection ritual, it wasn’t hard to see that the so-called miracles were probably just a blinding technique using the abilities of the Abyssal Game and the Peaceful Sect to deceive dungeon natives.

Fire Master needed a real miracle.

It just so happened that Wu Chang’s main quest two also required a real miracle.

Since their goals were the same, and Fire Master was working so hard, how could he not lend a helping hand?

As they approached the Sirena City District, they found the city gates closed, countless zombies surrounding the city walls, in a zombie siege stance.

However, the height of the city walls was not much of a problem for True Self, whose height reached nearly 20 meters after transforming into a Giant Whale.

Led by the old Sirena resident Han’er, they found a secluded section of the city wall and easily climbed into the city.

Though as they climbed the wall, they noticed the zombie horde seemed to be drawn by something, changing from the aimless siege to gathering towards several specific sections of the city wall.

Something must have happened to those sections, but Wu Chang and the others couldn’t spare the effort, so they left a note with the wall guards as they passed by.

Entering the Sirena City District, Wu Chang and Han’er used a secret passage for corpse transport to sneak into the Soul Light Cathedral underground.

At this moment, the underground workshop was extremely busy.

More and more zombies tainted by the Blood Moon were brought here, processed into bricks, and sent to the upper levels of the Great Cathedral.
