Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 910 - 428: Vengeance Artifact

Mages like Mage, although inherently fragile, but if you can’t penetrate their magic shield, don’t expect to chip away even a bit of their health.

It is precisely because of the sturdiness of the magic shield that Mages have time to chant and cast spells, launching ultimate attacks that require a long time to charge.

Lin Xun couldn’t directly defeat the Great Sage, not because he didn’t have enough defense or health, but purely because he couldn’t break through the "Knowledge Light Wall," that turtle shell.

The Great Sage’s Shell itself is of Mythical+ Level, and so should be his signature Skills.

As long as he could break through the Mythical+ Level defense magic "Knowledge Light Wall," with his current attack damage, he could easily insta-kill the fragile Mage.

[...]

[You have possessed the Shell of ’Mage of the Direct Vision Branch Association seeking Knowledge’!]

[The ’Great Sage with Direct Vision’ just narrowly escaped death by your hands and won’t underestimate you again, erecting the ’Knowledge Light Wall’ firmly around himself, leaving no hope for you.]

Lin Xun swiftly operated, as he didn’t have much opportunity left.

[Your exclusive artifact ’Appearance of the Queen Bee’ glitters with light!]

[You have set the ’Mage of the Direct Vision Branch Association seeking Knowledge’ as the ’Queen Bee,’ and the other Shells in your Shell column will automatically become ’Drones’!]

[The consciousness of the ’Son of Evil’ emerges behind you, and under your command, it disregards the severe wounds all over its body, struggles to stand up with the Crimson Greatsword, and fearlessly lunges at the enemy to attack!]

Lin Xun wanted to outright kill the Great Sage with Direct Vision.

The only chance left was to use the ’Son of Evil’s’ explosion upon death coupled with the Osborne Sage’s activation of the glyph law spell.

Only by attacking the ’Knowledge Light Wall’ with their strongest Skills could there be a chance to defeat the big BOSS.

[The ’Great Sage with Direct Vision’ didn’t, as you expected, use ’Knowledge Dragon Spear’ again to blast the ’Son of Evil,’ After a series of battles, it seems to have understood that the shimmering spirit comes from you, and killing you immediately would instantly neutralize the spirit’s attack.]

[Its gaze drifts coldly towards you...]

[The gaze does not come from the eye sockets on its face, but from the chest and abdomen behind the Magic Robe!] 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

[The gaze can actually pierce directly through the Magic Robe, the cold eyes staring at you sharply, causing the hairs on your body to stand on end, overwhelming fear engulfing you in an instant.]

[With the cold stare bearing down, you suddenly feel stiffness and cold creeping from the tips of your limbs...]

[You see your fingertips rapidly covered with a layer of gray-white shell as hard as rock.]

[No, it’s not just a layer of rock shell covering them; your hands and feet are rapidly turning to stone, with the petrification swiftly spreading to your torso...]

[With the memories inside the Shell awakening, you instantly recall that this is the Great Sage’s trump card, the most powerful and insoluble ultimate attack!]

[Originating from the eyeball of the mythical creature ’Stonification Monster—Jagorgon,’ it continuously accumulates damage received, and when the damage reaches a critical point, it can unleash the extremely malevolent ’Petrification Curse.’]

[It turns all the weak into icy, fragile rock under its gaze.]

[A light tap could shatter the rock, turning enemies into countless tiny stones, dying within the merciful rigidity and immense fear of being unable to control their bodies.]

[This is an insoluble trump card, and with your strength, it is absolutely impossible for you to survive the ’Petrification Curse’!]

[The Petrification Curse spreads from the fingertips to the palms, arms, and quickly covers the torso and head!]

[Just then, your artifact ’Curse Snake Whip’ flickers with a faint light!]

[You are now immune to the Petrification Curse and its weakening effects!]

[The petrified limbs on your body immediately return to normal, and in the astonished gaze of the ’Great Sage with Direct Vision,’ the consciousness of the ’Son of Evil’ has already rushed in front of it.]

[Regaining the ability to move, you raise your Magic Wand high, the huge eye on your chest projecting a gaze filled with hatred, and countless glyphs surge and flicker...]

The Great Sage with Direct Vision thought it could use its trump card to deliver a one-hit kill.

Instead, Lin Xun happened to have an artifact that could resolve most curses and weakening effects.

"Hmph, bad luck for you, stumbling into the effective range of my artifact. If I don’t take you down today, wouldn’t I be letting down the artifact I’ve obtained through my hard work and sweat?"

[...]

[Faced with the ’Son of Evil’ that has now reached in front of it, the Great Sage immediately launches ’Knowledge Dragon Spear,’ with a dozen giant dragon spears instantly bombarding the enemy.]

[But you see the spirit before you continues to attack without dodging, while you, from afar, with a sinister look in your eyes, seize the moment to activate the ’glyph law’ spell!]

[It had just witnessed the brief immunity to death from ’Blood Spring,’ thinking the spirit under your command would use this secret method again.]

[It scoffs scornfully, thinking that even if you can temporarily be immune to death, you could only prolong suffering for a few more seconds, and with your attack power, you couldn’t break through the ’Knowledge Light Wall.’]

[It directs the dragon spears to change direction, no longer attacking the temporarily death-immune spirit, aiming them all at you instead.]

[But the spirit already at close range raises the Crimson Greatsword, not attacking the light wall, instead lightly cutting its own throat with the edge of the sword.]

[In an instant, the ’Great Sage with Direct Vision’ sees this abnormal move and becomes immediately alert...]

[As blood sprays from the neck, your Drone Shell ’Son of the Initial Fire of Desire’ has died!]

[You have sustained some injuries!]

[The ’Son of Evil’ has died, and the Shell Skill ’Boiling Blood and Flesh’ self-destruct effect is activated!]
