Seeing ‘God’s’ posture change, Xiao Lan no longer spoke nonsense with him and fully raised his guard.
A tense and dangerous atmosphere hovered between them, on the brink of shattering.
‘God’ took the initiative to attack.
A face on its body opened its mouth and a fleshy tentacle shot out.
This tentacle was far quicker than the previous ones, and it swiftly attacked Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan tilted his body to evade it and ruthlessly swung his blade down at the oncoming tentacle.
He swung with all his strength. The tentacle was directly cut off by the sharp blade and fell to the floor before being absorbed by the wriggling flesh.
Very soon, another identical tentacle appeared on the stub.
It recovered in almost the blink of an eye, simply as if it had taken steroids.
Xiao Lan frowned slightly, realising that this wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
‘God’, however, withdrew the tentacle.
This time, ‘God’ ferociously attacked Xiao Lan with thick and distorted muscle-covered claws.
The claws had a speed that didn’t match their appearance, and they reached Xiao Lan almost instantly.
Xiao Lan turned 【Insurgent’s Bone】 into its shield form and blocked them.
An enormous fist slammed against the shield, and scraped over it with a loud, piercing sound. Xiao Lan was forced to step back at the other’s power.
But the shield held.
When this attack failed, ‘God’ revealed another mild smile. “You’re pretty good, but don’t rebel against a god; this is disrespectful.”
Xiao Lan switched his weapon back to a blade again and rushed towards it. “What sort of illegitimate god are you? Stop giving yourself additional scenes.”
The black glint of a blade ruthlessly slashed at ‘God’, leaving several deep cuts in its arm.
If ‘God’ had bones, each cut would be deep enough to see them.
‘God’ angrily counterattacked, fiercely brandishing its claws and attacking Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan nimbly evaded ‘God’s’ attacks. Each time the blade in his hand flashed, a wound was left on ‘God’s’ body.
But this wasn’t enough.
Because the wounds on ‘God’s’ body were able to heal almost instantly. This was the nest it built; it would be able to regrow endlessly.
After fending off another attack, Xiao Lan leapt back and put some distance between them.
He had a few deep wounds from when the other party’s claws brushed past him, but none of them were especially serious.
This illegitimate god had become much stronger. Not only did it have strong attack and defense, it also had a pre-installed, super-strong healing ability. This was simply unlocking everything in the skill tree.
Xiao Lan’s eyes sharpened, and he activated his ability:
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
【Rjwf: Ubnfgas lr ecjyif ab gfraglma ws lwjulcjalbc】
【Cylilas: Gfmbwqbrlalbc】
Since you can regenerate, then I’ll just break you down. Let’s see who’s quicker.
Ktlr kjr j yjaaif yfakffc j tewjc jcv j ubv, jcv jirb j yjaaif yfakffc reqfgralalbc jcv qbnfgas.
‘Xbv’ rwlifv. “P’nf rjlv la yfobgf: Gbc’a gfyfi jujlcra ubv. Tbe ralii tjnf j mtjcmf ab yfmbwf ws yfilfnfg. Cr ibcu jr sbe boofg sbeg vfnbea yfilfo jcv mbwqifaf ws aglji, P klii yfrabk sbe klat reqgfwf uibgs.”
What it got in reply was a black bone blade about to meet his face.
‘God’ raised an arm to block it like before. In any case, such an injury would heal very quickly.
But it was different this time. Although the wound was still healing, it could clearly sense that when the injury appeared, a portion of its energy disappeared.
Although the energy lost from a single wound was just a small portion, it truly did disappear.
A tentacle lashed out at Xiao Lan and was cut off by a flip of his blade.
This time, the severed tentacle hadn’t even landed on the floor when it decomposed in midair, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this, a bad premonition appeared in ‘God’s’ heart.
Where… did its energy go?
Observing the other party’s very slight hesitation, Xiao Lan’s heart settled and his attacks rained down even more fiercely.
‘God’s’ expression also grew grave and his attacks also intensified.
As Xiao Lan evaded the attacks, he attacked viciously. Countless fluttering tentacles were chopped off, breaking down into nothing in midair.
Gradually, ‘God’s’ wounds began to recover at a slower rate.
Seizing a window of opportunity after it attacked, Xiao Lan ruthlessly swung his knife and severed its arm.
The severed arm disappeared in the air.
‘God’ screamed sharp and mournfully; it already no longer sounded human.
Its half that was originally human-shaped began turning unstable, the muscles twitching as if its human form was about to collapse.
“Impressive… You…” ‘God’ gave Xiao Lan a wrathful glare, its humanitarian and gentle act completely obliterated.
Xiao Lan wiped off the sweat on his forehead and raised his knife, continuing to rush ahead.
Countless movies and television shows tell us that you must never speak nonsense when the boss is about to kick the bucket. Taking the chance to add a few more cuts is truly the right option.
The only likeable boss was a dead boss, because only then would they become experience points and rewards.
Seeing the situation turn sour, ‘God’ decided to once again mobilise the skill it was most proficient in: slipping away. It would only deal with this guy once it levelled up again.
However, Xiao Lan was long prepared for this. The moment ‘God’s’ body retreated a little, he switched to the whip form of【Insurgent’s Bone】.
After the upgrade, the whip was even longer and even fiercer; it couldn’t be any easier to use it to capture the other party.
The black whip wrapped around ‘God’s’ somewhat tattered body, ruining its plan to escape.
Relying on the fact that the skill effect was still active, Xiao Lan ruthlessly threw a punch at ‘God’s’ chest.
This powerful punch with the decomposition ability landed solidly on ‘God’, and a huge hole was punched right out of its chest.
‘God’ attempted to heal its wounds, but it regenerated at a far slower rate than the decomposition.
Consecutive punches landed on its body and quickly smashed it to pieces.
There was already just ‘God’s’ head left, but it still had such an unimaginable tenacious life force. “I can grant you eternal life —”
With a ‘bang’, another punch slammed mercilessly into its stolen handsome face.
This time, the entire head began breaking down as well and slowly started to vanish.
Unresigned, ‘God’ struggled. “Whatever… wish you have, I… can…”
The words were barely said when the head fully disappeared.
Only then did Xiao Lan shut down his skill. He said with a smile, “I want to become even poorer. That’s probably something you can’t do.”
“Destroy the bestowal ceremony, kill God’s host body (1/1).”
“Side task 【God’s Ire】is completed. Obtained reward 20% increase to body constitution.”
Instantly, a wave of abundant power covered Xiao Lan’s entire body. He clenched his fists, sensing the increase in his strength.
Xiao Lan smiled as he looked at his poverty value.
He had burned a total of 60 million in that 6-minute battle. Not only had he used up the benefits from the auction, he also had to fork out an additional 10 million.
Xiao Lan’s smile collapsed.
Using the skill without a time limit was invigorating in the moment, but it hurt when the poverty value was deducted. He even kind of missed the previous trial version that lasted for only five minutes, but which was free.
Fortunately, the boost to his constitution from the side task slightly made up for this pain.
Following ‘God’s’ death, the entire nest also lost its vitality.
All the wriggling flesh stopped and began graying and withering at a visible pace. A yellowish-green fluid seeped out non-stop and emitted a pungent, rotten stench that made one couldn’t help but want to pee.
Xiao Lan covered his nose and hurriedly left this area.
The man with braided hair and beach pants stepped into the storage area of the Endymion.
Following the direction pointed out by the compass, he walked to a pile of metal fragments on the floor and knelt down.
If Xiao Lan was here, he would recognise that this was the place which had held the Night Crown. These scraps had been left behind after Luo absorbed the power of his fragment and the crown crumbled.
The man took out a flashlight and aimed it at the pieces of the crown.
Under the illumination from the flashlight, the fragments began moving as if they had their own consciousness, and the beaten crown gradually took shape once more.
Even the colourless gems on the crown were there; it was just that the place where the black gem had been embedded was now empty.
The man stretched out the compass in his hand. Regardless of how he moved it around, the compass firmly pointed at where the gem had originally been.
He shook his head. “Who took away this thing?”
He stood up and examined the room, and noticed signs of a battle.
The man with braided hair rubbed his chin and put away the flashlight and compass.
As he walked out, he took out a weapon that was like a baseball bat. “In short, it’s by these players ba? How troublesome. Might as well just kill all of them ba. You guys, don’t hurry to clear the game ah…”
At that moment, two players just happened to arrive in the vicinity of the storage area.
They saw that someone was inside, and since they were unwilling to clash with the other, the two didn’t enter, and chose to leave in another direction.
There was a gust of wind, and the man with braided hair instantly appeared in front of them.
He gestured at the Night Crown he was holding and asked, “You guys, do you know anything about this thing?”
The two shook their heads cautiously.
The man put away the crown and shook his head. “Tsk, useless.”
One of the players frowned. “Are you provoking us?”
The man raised his eyes and looked at them. “I’m just stating the truth.”
The two players were infuriated. With tacit understanding, they took out their weapons.
As advanced players, they were unwilling to make trouble, but that didn’t mean they would accept being deliberately humiliated by someone else.
The two had always been a team, and they were very coordinated in their attacks. They weren’t afraid to fight at all.
But the next moment, only two thumps were heard.
The two fell to the ground almost simultaneously, their bodies already still. Their heads were already smashed beyond recognition, and blood gushed out, dyeing the ground red.
The man with braided hair leisurely hefted his baseball bat, his flip-flops dragging over the ground as he slowly walked off. “Tsk, they’re just advanced players…”
Xiao Lan left the nest that was emitting a splendid fragrance and felt that he could more or less leave the game now.
He took out the envelope and was about to contact Luo.
“Sir.” Luo’s voice rang out beside him.
Xiao Lan turned his head and saw Luo standing perfectly straight nearby, smiling at him.
Although his unpredictable appearance was a little terrifying, Xiao Lan was already used to it. As a non-human, wasn’t appearing and disappearing like a ghost very common?
Luo looked very normal, but to be safe, Xiao Lan still took out his blade and verified, “How are your painting skills?”
Luo: “…”
Not only was their reunion after a small separation unable to surpass that of newlyweds, he also had to face the other’s penetrating questioning. He truly deserved to be his sir ah. Being so frank was genuinely so adorable.
Then… How should he reply?
He thought about it, and decided to answer realistically. “A world treasure.”
Xiao Lan put away his knife.
Possessing zero awareness about his own identity as an avant-garde artist, and even filled with self-confidence? This was Luo himself, no mistake.
This chapter😅
😂😂😂😂😂
the ending just so funny.
Luo, no—
That new guy… 🤨
And they finally reunited!! 🎉🥰
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
Must be Luo hahahaha
Ahahahaha tysm for the chapter❤
thanks for the chapter <3
Is that new guy a contract player? Since he said “They’re just advanced players”. Or is he that “master” in disguise? Anyway, I hope he dies a painful death. And yay for the reunion!
Yup, that’s Luo lol
The the other creator thing is now sending people after Luo?
Thx for the ch ٩( >ヮ<)۶
Couldn’t help but want to pee = excuse themselves and leave.
I don’t know, just my guess. When someone wants to pee, they excuses themselves.
“He decides to answer realistically” Luo… That wasn’t realistic at all!!!😂😂😂
