Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 874 - 413: Abyss Exploration Report, The Resurgence of the Abyss

Chapter 874: Chapter 413: Abyss Exploration Report, The Resurgence of the Abyss

The Star Spirit Envoy’s ultimate magic only expended five percent of the Magic Array’s energy. Even with a Mage’s mana bar as extensive as it was, it would be impossible to continuously cast powerful spells.

Unless he used the ’Elixir of Star Sea Origin’ he had just acquired, which enabled temporary, cost-free spellcasting.

Lin Xun was well aware of the game the Underworld Game was playing. He sneered coldly and directly switched Shells.

[You have possessed the Shell of the ’Son of the Initial Fire of Desire’!]

The Son of Evil had an inexhaustible stamina bar. Even if he were to hack away here until the end of time, there was no need to worry about fatigue leading to unconsciousness.

He activated the berserk state of ’Boiling Blood and Flesh’, beginning a savage assault on the defensive Magic Array.

[You swing the ’Sword of the Bloody King’, a surge of crimson light bursts forth, continuously launching attacks at the defensive Magic Array...]

[...]

The Son of Evil’s damage output was formidable, and the energy reserves of the Magic Array noticeably began to diminish.

[Current ’Star Destruction Magic Array’ remaining energy reserves: 89/100]

[...]

[Current ’Star Destruction Magic Array’ remaining energy reserves: 71/100]

[...]

[Current ’Star Destruction Magic Array’ remaining energy reserves: 50/100]

[As you slash with all your might, the light emanating from the defensive Magic Array before you starts to shift from solid to ethereal, seemingly on the verge of shattering and breaking apart.]

[Seeing this, you understand in your heart that the Magic Array’s energy reserves have reached a critical threshold, able to withstand only one more attack before collapsing...]

[Do you wish to continue attacking?]

Lin Xun paused to think, then decided to use the ’Star Destruction Ring’ to attack the Magic Array, to see if he could deplete the remaining energy reserves in one go.

From the previous text information, it was known that Star Realm Envoys had higher authority than Star Spirit Envoys. Even if he waited for their return to the Polar Star Association branch, he wouldn’t be able to use the ring to kill the Star Realm Envoys.

Instead, the ’Star Destruction Magic Array’ still having energy reserves could result in him being killed by the Star Realm using the Magic Array.

The current defensive Magic Array could manipulate reserved energy, so perhaps there were other facilities that could also use the reserved energy.

Instead of all this, it’s better to fight fire with fire, and completely exhaust the remaining energy!

[You have used the ’Star Destruction Ring’ (Special Equipment)!]

[You choose to use the highest authority level, mobilizing 30% of the ’Star Destruction Magic Array’s’ reserve energy to launch an attack at the target!]

[Current ’Star Destruction Magic Array’ remaining energy reserves: 20/100]

[A flash of light from the ring on your hand, and endless starlight burst from the Void, instantly converging into a thick column of light that shoots toward the defensive Magic Array!]

[A thunderous roar shakes the heavens, and the entire branch building trembles.]

[The defensive Magic Array in front of you rapidly draws on a large amount of reserved energy, but still can’t resist the destructive attack of the light pillar and finally breaks apart into countless points of light that fade away into nothingness...]

[Please note! The energy reserves of the ’Star Destruction Magic Array’ have been completely exhausted!]

[The light of the ring on your hand dims, seeming to temporarily lose its function.]

[You realize that unless a large amount of material is added to the Magic Array to restore its charge, the ’Star Destruction Magic Array’ will not be able to be activated again.]

[Due to the disappearance of the defensive Magic Array, you no longer feel obstructed.]

[You step forward, smoothly passing through the corridor, and arrive at the office door of the ’Star Realm Envoy’.]

[Although the door is locked tight, there are no more defensive Magic Arrays to block your progress.]

[You don’t have the relevant key. Do you want to break the door lock and forcefully enter?]

[You kick down the whole door, and it flies into the room along with the frame.]

[Just as you’re about to step into the office, a flash of light above the doorframe catches your eye. On closer examination, it’s an unknown Refined Copper device emitting a beam at you.]

[It seems you’ve triggered some sort of trap. You attempt to dodge but can’t escape the sudden onslaught of the beam.]

[The scorching ray burns through your skin, piercing into your flesh, about to penetrate you...]

[But then the Refined Copper device flickers twice, seemingly out of energy, the beam flickering intermittently before extinguishing and disappearing...]

[Your foresight in exhausting the ’Star Destruction Magic Array’s energy reserves allows the trap device to run out of energy for replenishment, affording you the luck to narrowly escape the debacle.]

"...There really are other trap devices."

The Star Realm Envoy’s office before you is so well-guarded, it must contain exceedingly valuable objects inside.

[You don’t directly enter the office to search but instead leap up and forcefully pull down the concealed Refined Copper device above the doorframe.]

[You have obtained the ’Scorching Starlight Trap Device’ (Item)!]

[The ’Scorching Starlight Trap Device’ (Item): The device is inscribed with a Magic Array of the magic ’Scorching Starlight’. Once triggered under preset conditions, the trap will release ’Scorching Starlight’ at the enemy.]

[Current trap device remaining energy 0/100]

Lin Xun previously acquired a Refined Copper trap device with a ’Time Prison’, and now he has obtained another trap capable of releasing spells.

"One trap device appearing in this Chapter could be coincidental, but two..."

"Given the presence of a character capable of creating Refined Copper dolls in the previous Chapter, inferring from the two trap devices, there’s a high likelihood this Chapter features a character specialized in crafting Refined Copper traps."

Lin Xun pondered briefly and secured the trap device.

[You enter the office, the ’Star Spirit Envoy’s office occupies a substantial area, furnished extravagantly.]

[You are aware that there must be treasures hidden here, but it could also house similar traps...]
