Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 683: Chapter 312: The Answer to the Prayer (Bonus Chapter 3)

”Your very existence is meaningful, and you will certainly be redeemed. Even Jego cannot stop it, mark my words!”

Amber looked at Wu Chang who appeared in front of her, the shock in her eyes faded, replaced by a mix of puzzled confusion.

She seemed to recognize the man in front of her, but she seemed to have forgotten.

Wu Chang jumped down from the altar and said, ”Do you remember our agreement? You only need to focus on being yourself; leave the rest to me.”

Upon hearing Wu Chang’s words, the confusion in Amber’s eyes dissipated, and she recalled the man standing before her.

Even back on the day she least wanted to remember, when the statue fell towards her again, she faced it without fear on her face. Yet now, her nose felt a bit sore.

”Sean, you’re late again.”

Wu Chang shrugged, ”Sorry, it took me a bit of time to get in, but I’m glad I made it.”

He then opened his arms and gave Amber a hug, speaking like Headmistress Amanda:

”It’s all in the past now; everything will get better.”

”Also, welcome home.”

As Amber’s memory returned, the entire orphanage shook violently, and the interior began to collapse.

Wu Chang noticed the statue that had been kicked into the corner had now disappeared.

Amber turned pale and said, ”What’s happening?”

Wu Chang replied, ”Maybe the one who got kicked over disagrees with you leaving.”

It seems Amber’s past is not ready to let her go easily.

Amber pulled Wu Chang to leave, ”It’s dangerous here; let’s get out.”

”Wait.”

Wu Chang stopped Amber, pulling her back in front of him, and took out the Star of Bethlehem that Susan had entrusted him with from his pocket.

Amber’s eyes widened as she looked at the Star of Bethlehem in Wu Chang’s hand, seemingly understanding what it was.

”This is...”

Wu Chang smiled and said, ”This is entrusted to me by Headmistress Amanda and Headmistress Susan, for you. If you ever feel lost or doubt your existence again, it will give you courage and guide your way forward.”

With the guidance of the Star of Bethlehem, Amber and Wu Chang navigated through the collapsing orphanage without being obstructed, smoothly making their way outside.

It was only then that Wu Chang noticed the anomaly in this world; it looked similar to Sigef City, but tiny cracks were scattered everywhere, seemingly ready to crumble at any moment.

Well, it’s not just any moment; things have already started crumbling.

The collapsing orphanage was like a slumbering monster, now slowly awakening, trying to pull its body from the ground.

In Amber’s past memories, the orphanage was the origin of her life.

When Headmistress Amanda was still alive, it was her last haven; no matter the difficulties she faced, she could always find shelter here.

But after Sister Amanda died, it turned into a monster that devoured everything about her, binding her here, no matter how hard she tried to start a new life, she inevitably returned here.

Its existence seemed to tell Amber that every time she left, she only caused harm to others, without any significance.

Therefore, to leave here, it seems she must defeat the origin of her Sigef City orphanage.

Wu Chang gazed at the orphanage and sighed helplessly; this was a four-story building, getting rid of such a huge monster was more troublesome than the previous three Heart Demons.

Amber clutched Wu Chang’s sleeve, her face showing signs of nervousness.

Wu Chang smiled at Amber and said, ”Don’t worry, we’ll win.”

He said they would win, so they certainly would.

Who is he?

A player of the Abyssal Game, a PE teacher at Nokes Primary School, Amber’s adoptive father?

No, none of those. His current identity is the mayor of Sigef City.

Just an orphanage, daring enough to bare its fangs at him, is it seeking demolition?

Starting demolition from the outside won’t work, time’s running out, so he as the mayor must act personally.

To destroy such a huge monster, heavy firepower is necessary.

He focused his thoughts into the portable space, selecting the appropriate item.

It’s you, ”Dawn Hammer”!

After He Yun upgraded Dawn Hammer for him, there was a function he was curious about, but the price was too high, and he never had a chance to try it. Finally, now there’s a target to experiment with.

”High-Energy Beam: A fusion of mysticism and science, increases damage to non-human targets by 50%, automatically generates one high-energy beam every three hours, can also consume five energy points to immediately replenish one high-energy beam. Current number of high-energy beams: 12/12.”

”Destruction Mode: Merges all high-energy beams in the chamber into one, blasts it to the target, causing devastating damage. After use, Dawn Hammer will be temporarily damaged, requiring professional repair by the manufacturer to reuse. Repair duration: one Plane; skill cooldown time: two Planes.”

The 50% increased damage of the high-energy beam, combined with destruction mode, this level of attack can truly be called a heavy hammer!

As Wu Chang activated destruction mode, the twelve energy pods storing the high-energy beams in the chamber lit up in sequence, the barrel of Dawn Hammer spread open, and the slender gun barrel restructured into a rocket launcher-like cannon barrel.

As twelve high-energy beams merged into one, a powerful energy emerged from within the gun body, enough to make even Wu Chang feel a heart tremor; if hit by such a shot, even with Titan, it would likely trigger limb severance.

Dawn Hammer locked onto the target, analyzed and automatically adjusted firing mode according to the built-in AI, forming a basketball-sized energy cluster at the muzzle.

Sizzle.

The strong energy condensed, producing a hair-raising electric current sound in the air, and compared to the energy condensed by Dawn Hammer now, the Super Electromagnetic Cannon he used before was at most super electromagnetic rays.

He looked down at Amber and said, ”Look, fireworks.”

In the next moment, the energy column surged forth, its thickness continuously increasing; initially it was basketball-sized, but as the energy column reached the orphanage, the light pillar had already enveloped the entire orphanage.

With a flash of light, by the time Wu Chang and Amber’s vision recovered from the intense light, there was nothing left of the orphanage in front of them, only a polished semicircular depression.

Even though Wu Chang was prepared, the effect of destruction mode still exceeded his expectations.

But as a price, the front half of the gun body of Dawn Hammer had completely melted away, leaving only the back half of the gun body and the chamber intact.

This means, if not repaired by He Yun, this shot equates to swapping for a B-Level customized item.

That considered, the effect isn’t overly exaggerated.

One must know, B-Level customized items are stronger than ordinary A-Level items. Without He Yun, he would rather use his main body to transform into a small-sized Sea Giant and physically dismantle piece by piece with his fists, than use it this way.

From the position where the orphanage once stood, a space fissure was revealed. Along the fissure, one could see the orphanage in Sigef City in reality.

Wu Chang took Amber’s hand and said, ”Let’s go, Erin is still waiting for us to come home.”
