Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

The regenerated mushroom monster not only remained standing despite the toxic mist, but also caused Wu Chang to feel dizzy, his limbs slightly unresponsive.

He had fallen victim to his own toxin.

Moreover, the spore cluster followed the rebounding poison, taking the opportunity to inflict harm on him. When he raised his hand, he could see small mushrooms sprouting from the pores on the back of his hand.

He quickly withdrew Deep Water Bite, not daring to use it again, and at the same time, took out the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp. Under its illuminating glow, the mushrooms on his hand withered.

This monster, formed by the fusion of the Thousand Eyes and spore cluster, was indeed troublesome.

Wu Chang sighed; for the first time, he wished the enemy he encountered was stronger.

If the Thousand Eyes possessed divinity, even just a trace, he could use Blasphemer to directly attack its essence.

Wu Chang looked at the proliferating mushrooms around him, feeling powerless against this seemingly invincible foe.

As long as the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp was with him, the Thousand Eyes spore cluster couldn’t harm him, but it seemed he couldn’t harm the Thousand Eyes spore cluster either.

He had arranged a Space Array in the living room, allowing him to leave via space magic anytime he wanted.

But he had promised Amber that he would solve all troubles for her, so fleeing would be a disgrace to his role as a guardian.

At this point, he could only call for reinforcements.

The Space Array unfolded beneath his feet, and with a flash of light, Erin appeared in the spore cluster space.

Space magic teleportation can transport not only oneself but also allies.

Erin was already aware of everything happening within the space through mental communication.

Upon entering, Erin did not hesitate and switched to her True Divine Body, with massive wings of light spreading behind her. As the wings flapped, a holy beam descended from the sky, landing on the spore carpet.

The beam contained purifying power, but for the spore carpet, purification was an even deadlier poison than Deep Water Bite.

Where the light touched, golden flames ignited, burning the spore carpet, mushroom monsters, and the entire spore cluster space to ashes.

Erin’s Power of Light was a natural enemy to eerie and evil forces, combined with the overwhelming stats of the True Divine Body, leaving the spore cluster powerless to fight back.

Within a few breaths, amidst the mushroom monster’s screams, the spore cluster space shattered completely, and Wu Chang and Erin returned to the attic.

Originally, he intended to leave the spore cluster half-dead for True Self to absorb and compound its power, but the spore cluster’s struggles forced him to involve Erin, losing at least five points of Power.

This debt would be collected from the surviving Thousand Eyes.

The spore cluster space, similar to the Mirror World, suppressed perception. Now with no spore cluster space left, the Thousand Eyes’ body was exposed, and the attic was filled with a myriad of strange eyes.

Wu Chang’s Inspiration Attribute far surpassed that of Parker during Inspiration Runaway; he easily spotted the green iris among the many eyes.

If he couldn’t handle the spore cluster, could he not handle you?

He raised his hand to stop Erin’s actions, then shook his elbow, initiating with Zero-Frame Start.

”Man!”

Having just entered the Abyssal Game, he had elbowed the Eye of Leman during the Trial Dungeon; the mere Thousand Eyes naturally couldn’t dodge and was immediately elbowed until its eyes filled with bloody streaks, full of pain.

The spore cluster’s swift demise left Wu Chang no outlet for his pent-up anger, forcing him to vent on the Thousand Eyes.

”You like peeking, huh? I’ll show you something nice!” Wu Chang firmly grasped the green eye, using his thumbs to pry open its eyelids, forcing it to open its eyes.

Since the battle began, Wu Chang could feel the Thousand Eyes trying to pierce into his heart, attempting to probe the fears within his memory.

Reading fears and launching spiritual attacks to exploit psychological vulnerabilities was the Thousand Eyes’ primary method of attack.

Parker’s will was reduced to zero due to this move, leading to Inspiration Runaway.

However, Wu Chang’s impressive will of 47 points acted like a vault door; the Thousand Eyes’ ability could, at most, penetrate a frosted glass layer, having minimal impact equivalent to scratching at the vault door.

Not much harm, but certainly annoying.

But now, Wu Chang actively opened the vault door, intending to give the Thousand Eyes a tour.

What should he show it?

Old Four’s collection? No, that’s too cruel; even monsters have rights.

Since you’re a monster, let’s show you something similar.

Wu Chang recalled Leman’s True Divine Body he had once seen, showing it to the Thousand Eyes.

Considering both were eyes, perhaps they were distantly related, maybe even calling each other kin.

Upon seeing Leman’s True Divine Body, the green iris was stripped of pain and filled with endless terror and panic.

It shattered along the blood vessels in its eyes into countless fragments, which then transformed into a red flame in Wu Chang’s hands.

Through the flames, Wu Chang faintly heard a voice.

”A mere ant dares to gaze upon the god?”

Wu Chang shook his head at the flames in his hand; he had warned it not to look carelessly, but now it angered the deity Leman. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

With the green core dead, the Thousand Eyes’ remaining eyes turned to vapor and dissipated.

With both the Fluorescent Bacterial Colony and Thousand Eyes dead, Amber awoke from her hallucination.

Upon waking, she immediately sensed something, her face full of unease.

She scanned her surroundings, and seeing Wu Chang’s burning right hand, her unease peaked.

She ran quickly to Wu Chang, patting the flames on his hand, repeatedly saying:

”I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

In her urgency, Amber moved extremely fast, so much so that even Wu Chang and Erin couldn’t react in time. It’s no exaggeration to say that even without the Cursed Dungeon’s suppression, they might not have been as fast.

Wu Chang and Erin exchanged a glance; their daughter’s background seemed quite unusual.

Wu Chang blew out the remaining flames in his hand, grabbed Amber’s hand, embraced her, and gently caressed the top of her head.

”It’s over now, everything will be alright.”

He had learned this from Sister Amanda; every time Amber returned to the orphanage, Amanda would hug her and say this.

The words seemed like a magical spell, calming Amber’s agitated emotions and reducing the scope of her apologies, eventually putting her to sleep.

Wu Chang lifted Amber’s hand that had patted the flames, discovering parts of her palm were burned.

Seeing this, Erin quickly used Light Magic to heal Amber’s hand.

A hand injury is easy to treat, but other damages are not so easily fixed.

For instance, the city that has been damaged.

Perhaps by coincidence, when Amber’s hand was burned by flames in her panic, a wildfire broke out in Iside Mountain, located in the south of Sigef City. The blaze was fierce and, accompanied by wind, quickly swept through the entire mountain area, heading toward residential areas.

The land beneath Iside Mountain is extremely valuable, with Sigef City’s largest villa and affluent districts all located there.

This area enjoys the Iside Mountain scenery, offers fresh air like a natural oxygen bar, and its community of elite neighbors can casually launch successful business ventures.

Anyone with influence in Sigef City would not pass up the opportunity to purchase property there.

Now, the once-envied mansions have been swallowed by flames one after another.

Fire alarms scream throughout the night sky, as diligent firefighters from Sigef City set aside their paintbrushes used to color hydrants rainbow, gear up, and rush to the scene.

Transforming into fire warriors, they rescue stray dogs and a cluster of stray cats from the blazing infernos, later returning for media interviews, basking in the flowers and applause of city residents.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Sigef City, the magic of money has fully restored White Old K’s bare-knuckle fight arena, where the opening match is underway.

Wu Chang replaced former Kent, sitting in a VIP box on the third floor, surveying the match below.

He yawned—the fighters were lackluster, leaving him drowsy, deciding he would recruit some desperate players to improve the spectacle.

He reclined on the sofa, ready to nap, when the VIP box door was flung open, and Miles rushed in, shouting:

”Boss! Great news! Fantastic news!”

Wu Chang sat up and asked, ”What great news?”

Miles excitedly replied, ”Sigef City is ablaze! The disaster we’ve been waiting for has arrived!”
