Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 908 - 427: The Fierce Battle with the Great Sage, Blood Spring

[The ’Great Sage with the Direct Gaze’ was about to raise another ’Knowledge Light Wall’ to protect its subordinate, but it ultimately was a step too slow...]

[By the time the savage power of ’Rune Law’ swept past, the ’Knowledge Light Wall’ had barely been raised...]

[The brightness of the erupted magic faded, leaving behind a lonely ’Knowledge Light Wall,’ and the protected sage behind it could not withstand another attack from the top-tier Demigod, with its body evaporating completely under the power of the formidable magic.]

[You have defeated the ’Sage of the Inquisitive Direct Gaze Branch Association,’ and your experience points have significantly increased!]

[The continuous release of the hugely consuming ’Rune Law’ has left you feeling somewhat fatigued.]

[The ’Great Sage with the Direct Gaze’ had a fierce expression on its face as even its last subordinate perished under your ambush. It laughed in rage, saying, "Very well, very well!"]

[Unbelievable, not only could the envoy of the True God possess others’ bodies, but could also exert far more magic power than the original body was capable of.]

[Osborne’s ’Rune Law,’ in your hands, could actually unleash such tremendous power, which is nearly close to its own level of strength.]

[Is this the great power bestowed upon the envoy by the True God?]

[You noticed that, despite unleashing ’Rune Law’ twice in succession, you couldn’t break through its ’Knowledge Light Wall’.]

[The Great Sage was a little further away from you, but still within the effective range of your magic attacks, yet the ’Knowledge Light Wall’ it had cast managed to withstand two hits of ’Rune Law’ without shattering.]

[Your heart sank, knowing that although the quality of your Shell had been upgraded, your equipment and skills were still only at Mythical Level, and there was a certain disparity in strength between you and the Great Sage.] 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

[To defeat it, your chances of victory were indeed slim.]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, his mind racing.]

This was a gap in absolute strength; facing the true top-tier Demigod the ’Great Sage with the Direct Gaze’ was not something a piece or two of equipment could bridge.

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

[You stamped on the ground fiercely, the terrifying physical strength erupting and causing the ground beneath you to split open with a rumble!]

[Your figure instantly charged in front of the ’Great Sage with the Direct Gaze’, and between the twists of your waist and swings of your arm, the ’Sword of the Bloody King’ slashed viciously at the defensive light wall!]

[Savage power whipped up a howling gale, and the blood-red sword light struck directly at the thin yet incredibly solid ’Knowledge Light Wall’!]

[At the same time, right behind you as you brandished the sword fiercely, the figure of a tall, thin person in a magic robe appeared...]

[That person’s silhouette was hazy with light and shadow, the face was the familiar ’Sage Osborne’.]

[The Sage’s consciousness raised its magic wand high, pulling at the neck of the magic robe to reveal again that huge bloodshot eye!]

[Special Skill ’Rune Law’ is activated!]

[Two earth-shattering powers struck at the ’Knowledge Light Wall’ together, determined to breach the defense and slay the ’Great Sage with the Direct Gaze’ beneath the Sword!]

Previously, Lin Xun had just exhausted the Blood Spring value of the Scarlet King’s Sword at Sage Osborne’s place.

Now, after successively slaying four sages, the Blood Spring value surged to overflow, but he did not immediately use the Son of Evil’s most powerful strike, ’Blood Judgment’.]

In the game of the Underworld, the priority is the quality of the Shell, which also holds the highest weight in terms of output.

With the Mythical+ Level Shell quality of Sage Osborne, wielding a Mythical Level weapon and using the Mythical Level skill ’Blood Judgment’.

The damage output would certainly be higher than that of the Son of Evil, even if the Son of Evil wielded a Mythical+ Level weapon and possessed Mythical+ Level weapon special skills.

To put it in an analogy, the quality of the Shell is like profound inner force techniques. Even if an enemy’s moves are more exquisite and their weapons sharper,

if you fully exert your robust inner force, you can overcome skill with strength, disregard the enemy’s exquisite moves, send their weapon flying, and deliver a chill through their heart with a single sword strike.

Of course, this was not the main reason Lin Xun didn’t use ’Blood Judgment’...

[The ’Great Sage with the Direct Gaze,’ seeing your ferocious attack already upon it, and that you could even summon the spirit of ’Sage Osborne’ to attack together while changing your appearance, was quite taken aback. Still, the ’Great Sage with the Direct Gaze’ showed no signs of panic.]

[It raised its magic wand high, and countless runes poured into the ’Knowledge Light Wall,’ making the defensive magic even more formidable.]

[The ’Great Sage with the Direct Gaze’’s gaze was icy as it chanted the lengthy incantation of ’Endless Knowledge Flood,’ simply letting you attack the light wall, apparently unconcerned about you breaking through its defense.]

[Tidal magic power and the powerful slash of the weapon struck the ’Knowledge Light Wall’ at the same time!]

[Amidst the earth-shaking noise, the thin layer of defensive magic flickered a couple of times, still standing firm like an iron wall.]

[The ’Great Sage with the Direct Gaze’ let out a scoff, its gaze filled with disdain as it continued to chant the incantation quickly...]

"This turtle shell is way too hard!"

Lin Xun lamented helplessly, continuing to direct the Shell to launch a relentless attack against the enemy.]

With the continuous slashing of the ’Sword of the Bloody King’ and another burst of ’Rune Law,’ the defensive light wall finally dimmed slightly, seeming to indicate that its ’shield value’ was not much left.]

’Rune Law’ can be cast instantly and has immense power, its only defect being its extreme consumption of mana.

’Sage Osborne’ had used it only a few times and was already low on mana.]

[Seeing that the light wall’s shield value was nearly depleted, he felt an upsurge of spirit, knowing that once the magic shield was broken, the frail body of the Mage could absolutely not withstand a single sword strike from the Son of Evil.]
