Dimensional Hotel-Chapter 624: Combat Skills

Sacrifice.

When the small puppet, with its strange yet saintly smile, softly murmured those two words, the tiny golden-haired head finally completely submerged and dissolved in the pool of blood. This scene felt as if the red liquid surface had become some kind of passage connecting to another dimension, and the puppet's head slowly sank into another time space.

Yu Sheng couldn't figure out what was happening,

while a lightning bolt that streaked across the underground parking garage instantly interrupted his remaining thoughts.

Several other priests in white robes from the Hidden Monastery, seemingly of lower rank, had already stabilized their position under the command of the "Great Sage." A pale golden glow surged across their bodies, and the powerful spiritual energy transformed into thunder in their hands, dozens of lightning bolts manifesting out of thin air in the underground space, fiercely striking toward the large Silver White Demon Fox in the center of the parking lot.

This round of thunderstorm was jointly unleashed with full power by several priests, its might no less than the Great Sage's previous furious strike, yet the Silver White Demon Fox remained unfazed — because not far behind her was her "Savior."

Of course, now he was almost her Savior's corpse — but at least this corpse was still breathing.

The fox girl wanted to give her Savior some peace in his last moments in this life.

So she let out a threatening low growl, the Protective Spirit Qi fiercely reverberating around her. Continuous thunderstorm and gunfire created successive explosions by her side, and amidst the smoke and fire, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came — a Silver Fox Tail spewing fierce propulsion flames tore through the smoke, scorching the air as it flew straight towards the tall figure draped in a gold-embroidered white robe in the distance.

The Great Sage of the Hidden Monastery saw the demonic fox tail flying out from the smoke, yet having witnessed its power, he showed no intention of avoiding it. After swiftly glancing back at the unstable rift behind him, he turned to face the direction where the fox tail was flying — his head adorned with a phantom-like thorny fire ring leaping with lightning, his whole body swelling with flesh, his figure suddenly elevated, and then taking a direct step forward, he opened his arms to embrace the flaming fox tail fiercely!

The fox tail exploded violently, yet the intensely erupting Fox Fire was compressed into a dazzling "light ball" within the Great Sage's embrace. His body seemed close to fragmentation for a moment, yet forcibly returned to its original state, while the firelight grew before vanishing into invisibility.

Even Hu Li herself was briefly taken aback seeing this scene.

Yet other priests and soldiers of the Hidden Monastery were greatly inspired by this sight, quickly concentrating all their firepower on the dangerous Nine-tailed Silver Fox during this brief window.

At this moment, a scream shattered the previously coordinated efforts among the several priests.

A white-robed "Sage" suddenly convulsed all over, curling his body in agony, blood instantly spreading from his chest throughout the white robe, he hunched his body, lifted into the air by some intangible force, only then did the unseen object reveal its outline as soaked in his blood — a sharp spider appendage.

The appendage flicked, tossing the Hidden Monastery priest who died with a pierced chest aside, then slowly dissipated in the air.

Spider?

Another white-robed Sage felt a sudden rise of alarm in his heart, his Spiritual Intuition instinctively compelling him to look in a certain direction.

He saw a pool of blood — amidst the spreading Fox Fire and smoke, a seemingly conscious "living blood" was surging across the ground, the blood pool gradually expanding, something swiftly taking shape within the blood.

The next second, he saw a figure rising from the blood.

It was the golden-haired puppet — a face indistinguishable from a living person, golden hair shining like sunlight, wearing an exquisite and luxurious deep blue gown, elegant and tall stature.

Holding a frying pan in her hand.

The golden-haired puppet looked down at herself, then at the cultists opposite.

Then she nearly jumped for joy, turning to shout at Yu Sheng, "Hey, Yu Sheng! I've grown! I've grown!"

Yu Sheng leaned against a column in the parking garage, struggling to catch his breath: "I see, I see, but is this really the time to be talking about that—" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

At this point, he no longer wanted to figure out what was going on.

Meanwhile, the cultists had already reacted, several Brass Knights instantly charging toward the golden-haired puppet risen from the blood. A white-robed priest, under the cover of the Brass Knights, rushed up too, holding a silver longsword entwined with spiritual energy lightning, his whole body seemingly surrounded by dazzling radiance, he leaped high toward the puppet, shouting furiously: "Heretic—"

Without turning her head, Erin swung her frying pan: "I said I've grown, are you deaf!"

The silver longsword shattered with a bang, the surrounding Brass Knights were bound by golden threads before they even got close, pinned harshly to the ground by near-transparent spider appendages, only that white-robed priest remained silent even as he was flung away.

Erin delightedly watched the cultists sent flying by her, turning to look at the tall figure wearing a thorny fire ring, standing like a deity in front of the rift.

She carried the frying pan as she walked over, her steps light, picking up pace as she went.

The Great Sage sensed a strong danger from the newcomer, and in his vision, it seemed that more than just a golden-haired puppet was approaching him—a massive phantom, invisible to the naked eye, was emitting strong ominous premonitions in another dimension. The phantom frantically moved, occasionally piercing its limbs into this world, disturbing the flow of spiritual energy in the air.

"Everyone, fall back!"

The Great Sage suddenly shouted to the others around him, and almost at the same time, his body, already exceeding ordinary human limits, swelled once more. A marble-like texture covered his skin, his human eyes were burnt hollow by spiritual energy, dazzling lightning filled the sockets, and the crown of thorns on his head materialized, golden spikes fused into the skull and emitted an indescribable "divine form."

This image was precisely what the "Saints" of the Hidden Monastery constantly described in their doctrines—

Reaching perfection and approaching the divine.

They imagined the majestic form that a divine entity should possess and continually tried to approach this stance, even if it only lasted moments, even if it required burning life (most of the time, burning others' lives).

Now, he possessed the divine posture and power far beyond his own limits.

"Cannot... be disturbed..."

The giant-like "Great Sage" muttered deeply, stepping forward to meet the golden-haired puppet approaching him, each step causing the ground to shatter, his marble statue-like body seemingly drawing infinite power—and Erin, who had just returned to a normal human height, appeared quite... small again before such a "giant."

The golden-haired puppet looked up, thought for a moment.

"Damn it, isn't my height just wasted then?"

She muttered without much grace, but suddenly a bright smile spread across her face.

"Fortunately, I have something taller—"

The next second, her figure suddenly exploded into a mist of blood, dissipating from the real dimension in the blink of an eye.

The Great Sage, at this moment, was about to lift his hand to slap the golden-haired puppet at his feet but was stunned by this scene, and in that instant of daze, his spiritual vision saw the massive phantom lurking in another dimension suddenly "shift" into the real dimension.

A gigantic spider abruptly appeared where Erin had vanished—the terrifying spider body seemed forged from obsidian, its carapace covered with mysterious symbols, its upper half female in appearance, resembling Erin by seventy to eighty percent, but with black hair sprawling, eyes glaring red, and a luxurious gown replaced by insect-like armor.

This "Spider Goddess" was even taller than the giant-formed Great Sage.

Stunned, the Great Sage raised his head, and the next second, he saw those crimson eyes filled with hostility, the spider body rising high, two terrifying limbs stabbing toward his upper body.

His reaction was swift, raising his hand sharply before the limbs could hit, grasping two balls of thunder to meet the "Desecrating Alien Form" ahead.

But the Spider Goddess disintegrated in front of him in the blink of an eye—the Great Sage hadn't even reacted, when a rush of Astral Wind hit his feet, the golden-haired puppet "shifted" into the real dimension, swinging a frying pan and smashing it fiercely against his knee.

The height was just right.

The giant's scream shook the underground parking lot.

But to be fair, the giant's health was indeed thick; the senior priest of the Hidden Monastery was not an ordinary person, even crippled a leg on the spot, he still didn't fall down, rapidly regaining composure, bending over to grab the golden-haired puppet by his leg that hadn't yet adjusted posture from the swing.

The next moment, Erin's figure vanished again, the massive Spider Goddess instantly "shifted" into reality, swinging out a round slap.

The Great Sage's heart suddenly rose with alarm, fearing the blow might threaten even his life, hurriedly ducking back with his body while raising his hand to block—but without waiting for it to land, the Spider Goddess once again "switched" back to the golden-haired puppet, Erin spun a full circle, swinging the frying pan again onto the Great Sage's knee!

After the swing, her figure vanished again, the Great Sage now exceedingly shocked and angry, yet despite facing such a bizarre opponent for the first time, he quickly realized the puppet-spider routine, enduring the severe pain from his crippled legs, he clapped his hands directly, a rapidly expanding thunderstorm emanated from him, spreading quickly in all directions!

But the next instant, a small golden-haired figure measuring only 66.6 cm high squeezed out from the gaps close to the ground, Little Erin leaping around with the frying pan and jumping up to smash it against the Great Sage's toe...

The thunderstorm dispersed instantly with the giant's scream, and the 167 cm tall golden-haired Erin emerged again from the air, swinging the frying pan in a jump slash, this time hitting the opponent's tibia...

Circling, slipping, getting up, patching feet.

As if a set of combos etched in her bones.

Yu Sheng, witnessing this scene with a heart that hadn't beaten in over ten minutes, couldn't bear to miss it, insisting on watching it all till the end.
