Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead
Chapter 695 - 316: The Mayor’s Authority
Without waiting for the secretary to react, he grabbed the office chair he had been sitting on and smashed the floor-to-ceiling window of the office.
He approached the edge of the window, just about to jump when he remembered something, turned around, and added, "Don’t forget to report the cost of the chair."
After saying this, he jumped out of the window and ran towards the Giant Sewn Monster.
After landing from the city hall, with each step he took, his body doubled in size, and by the time he reached the Giant Sewn Monster, he was already two hundred meters tall.
The huge Sewn Monster seemed small in front of Wu Chang.
Lin Jiang’s consciousness had already been devoured by the Giant Sewn Monster. Now, it was just a monster that destroyed according to its instincts.
Without consciousness, Wu Chang naturally had nothing to say to it; for the first divine being he encountered in the dungeon, he had to give it the highest respect.
"Manba!"
He threw an elbow at the Sewn Monster, the tip of his elbow glowing with Divine Thunder, striking the head stitched from five different faces.
With the combination of Divine Thunder and the Blasphemer, even lower gods like Mercury couldn’t withstand it, let alone a collection of divine seed remnants.
The lightning penetrated the Sewn Monster’s body, and through a layer of skin, one could clearly see the electricity rampaging inside, causing massive destruction.
One elbow strike tore the Sewn Monster open, the black thorns snapped, and large fragments fell from its body.
The ejected parts, lacking the support of the main body’s life force, were immediately engulfed by the Divine Thunder, turning into charred remains.
The Giant Sewn Monster didn’t have the immunity mechanism of Dragon Armor and was blinded by the strike from the Mamba Iron Elbow, swinging its tentacles to attack indiscriminately around it.
Perhaps due to the unique mechanism of the Cursed Dungeon, the attributes given by the Abyssal Game to the dungeon boss were extremely restraining, with the monster’s attributes around one hundred and fifty points.
This value was absurdly high compared to other players suppressed by attributes, making a single touch during combat lethal.
But compared to Wu Chang, the Sewn Monster’s attributes were insignificant.
At least its blind attack posed no threat to Wu Chang.
Even so, with the battle already in my favor, Wu Chang remained cautious, delivering two more elbows to stack the Mamba Mark fully.
After modifying the dungeon rules, other players had less damage reduction, but the additional reduction from the Mamba Mark meant he was hardly affected.
With three layers of Mamba Mark damage reduction, the Sewn Monster’s already insufficient attack became even weaker.
Wu Chang bore the Sewn Monster’s attacks, tearing off its black thorn stitches one by one, gradually dismantling its parts.
In front of his power exceeding 200 points, the Sewn Monster had no chance to struggle.
First the claws, then the tentacles, followed by the four animal limbs, and finally the layers of armor-like flesh and blood.
Once fully dismantled, it revealed Lin Jiang at the core of the Sewn Monster’s body, with a seal on his forehead.
The seal, engraved with a swastika, was a special item given to Lin Jiang by the Bright Society, connected to the Divine Hidden Thunder planted by the Bright Society. It could be used to subdue dungeon monsters or to merge with them for additional attribute liberation. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
He must never have thought the last use of the seal would be on himself.
Upon being extracted from the Sewn Monster’s body and seeing the light once more, Lin Jiang seemed to regain a hint of consciousness, gasping heavily.
Wu Chang pulled Lin Jiang out and asked him in a tone Lin Jiang could hear:
"How does it feel to be surrounded by Divine Remains, to sink into pain and despair?"
In Lin Jiang’s memories, he often mentioned wanting to bring about the collapse of the world’s will, something Wu Chang remembered well.
Unfortunately, the only response was a hoarse gasp.
Feeling somewhat disappointed, Wu Chang casually crushed Lin Jiang’s body and took the swastika seal.
Not far from Wu Chang and Lin Jiang’s battle, the suddenly appearing monster disrupted the lives of Sigef City’s citizens.
To avoid the monster’s attack, people stayed clear of its path, hiding in the buildings on the roadside.
Li Zi mingled with the panicked citizens, hiding in a bank, observing the distant battle.
He had anticipated the failure of the battle, but the sequence of events had been completely beyond his expectations.
He couldn’t understand why, when both were Desolate Realm players, Peace could oppress the divinity-fused Lin Jiang so thoroughly.
Lin Jiang acted like a shoddily sewn ragdoll, having its parts easily torn off, its fabric ripped, and its stuffing pulled out.
Li Zi hadn’t even had a chance to gather intelligence before the battle was over.
He couldn’t comprehend why, when everyone was a Desolate Realm player, Peace could maintain his attributes in the Cursed Dungeon and remain unaffected by divinity.
When Peace had defeated Murphy, he had also been present. Whether it was just his imagination or not, Peace seemed to handle divinity-fusion forms more easily than the Fearless Rock Man.
Li Zi shook his head, silently lamenting for the Abyssal Game, yet another game ruined by cheats.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to guess that even the divinity-fusion form might not be enough, and transferred the highest authority of the Four Major Organizations in advance.
Now he only needed to wait for the dungeon to promote, use the item before the dungeon ended, and enter the Settlement Space to smuggle into the Realm of Reason.
Although he couldn’t recover the world’s will, he at least preserved the highest authority.
Watching as Peace turned and left after killing Lin Jiang, Li Zi finally felt relieved. He was just about to leave the bank to find a place to hide until the dungeon ended when he suddenly noticed a puddle of water at his feet.
Did the hall have a leak?
Just as he was puzzling over it, someone tapped his shoulder.
Li Zi turned his head to see a stranger smiling at him.
"Hello, did you drop something?"
Li Zi looked at the stranger’s hand and saw they were holding the swastika-marked seal.
Why was this thing in their hands, when did they take it from Lin Jiang’s head, and what was their relationship with Peace?
Stunned, Li Zi’s mind went into overload, as he experienced the state of Murphy transforming into the Fearless Rock Man.
Wu Chang smiled and said, "Can’t figure it out? A swim will help you think clearly."
The next moment, Li Zi was swallowed by the puddle of water beneath him.
