Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 97: Chapter 96 I Did Not Cheat

“Say a line for me,” Jiang Qiao said to Queen Mei.

“?” Queen Mei tilted her head slightly, not understanding the meaning of Jiang Qiao’s words.

“Just say ‘Fight for me, warriors,’ that will do,” Jiang Qiao didn’t expect the lacking-in-three-qualities Queen Mei to say anything inspiring or motivating.

Queen Mei nodded lightly, then shouted to the players the line Jiang Qiao wanted her to say.

“Please… Fight for me, warriors!”

At that moment, several notifications popped up in front of the players.

...

‘You have received Queen Mei’s blessing.’

‘Lion Heart Power has been bestowed upon you.’

‘Eagle Eye Pupil has been bestowed upon you.’

‘Yellow Jacket’s Speed has been bestowed upon you.’

‘…’

“Who would have thought Queen Mei was actually a healer?”

“Have you ever seen a healer who can add such powerful BUFFs? From now on, I am Queen Mei’s Chief Knight.”

“What are you thinking! Bro, it’s not your turn to speak when Mingwei hasn’t spoken yet,”

At this moment, Shen Meng felt very frustrated. She had been instantly killed by a slash packed with dark magic power from a soldier of the Obliteration Legion, but the moment she turned into a tombstone, five BUFFs appeared on her.

‘Lion Heart Power: Strength increased by 100%, Constitution increased by 100%, your attacks now carry the attribute of lightning.’

‘Eagle Eye Pupil: Hit rate increased by 100%, critical hit rate increased by 50%, long-range attacks will automatically target the enemy’s vital areas.’

‘Yellow Jacket’s Speed: Movement speed increased by 50%, attack speed increased by 50%, casting speed increased by 50%.’

‘Wolf Claw: Skill cooldown reduced by 50%, awakening skill cost reduced to zero, critical damage increased by 50%, and you gain 50% armor penetration.’

‘Axe-wielding Man’s Blessing: You can now resurrect directly on your tombstone.’

‘All blessings last for two hours.’

What is this? Auto-aim plus head-lock?

But the enemies emerging from the space-time rift were indeed formidable…

The number of soldiers from the Obliteration Legion was three hundred. What does that mean? Three hundred instance bosses suddenly appearing all at once put the players in a tough battle.

However, with Queen Mei’s blessings, the players’ pressure was instantly relieved by a large margin.

Maybe this was the developers’ design to give the players a thrill at the end of the instance?

But… worthy of my kid!

Shen Meng immediately clicked the newly popped up option to resurrect on the spot.

Blood Frenzy! Rampage! Bloodthirsty! Blood Prison Demon!

The power of Blood Qi immediately condensed on Shen Meng. Clutching her now blood-red left hand, her pupils shining with a crimson glow, she stared at the distant Obliteration Legion soldier who had killed her.

“I’m back.”

After saying this, she slammed a Mountain-Bursting Earth Splitting Slash down on the enemy, who immediately raised his shield to block.

The previous attack from Shen Meng had been blocked by his shield, after which he easily killed Shen Meng.

But this time, he realized something was different. The power added to Shen Meng’s greatsword was so immense that the Obliteration Legion soldier couldn’t resist with his shield.

The greatsword struck the shield, sparking a brilliant shower of sparks and splattering blood, then smashed heavily onto the ground.

The ground shattered instantly, spewing out a vast quantity of material that lay somewhere between magma and blood, completely engulfing the soldier from the Annihilation Legion and a few of his comrades beside him. @@novelbin@@

-4230, -5120, -4601!

Several extremely high damage values appeared, and the Mountain-Bursting Earth Splitting Slash was not yet over. Deep Dream smashed down a sword that was conjured behind him.

Berserker’s awakening skill, Blood Prison Demon…Throat Seal!

The ground was cracked open by the giant sword, creating a huge hole. The force of Blood Qi Power erupted like a volcano, striking the dirt above, the entire tomb chamber shook, teetering on the brink of collapse… In the impact created by the Blood Qi Power, several more terrifying damage values above -4000 kept appearing.

“Did Brother Dream use an awakening skill?”

“He did a while ago… Wait, do you feel like this place is about to collapse?”

“It really is!”

But the tomb chamber, unable to withstand the ravaging of the players’ skills, collapsed. However, in the moment it collapsed, several Telekinesis Energy Shields and light walls were activated, enveloping the side where the players were.

The falling debris smashed onto the Telekinesis Energy Shields and were completely shredded by electric arcs.

In the battlefield, because of the effects of his epic armor set, Zhao Mingwei’s Telekinesis Energy Shield was the largest, protecting half the players in the cemetery under his shield.

When the falling ruins had completely disappeared, the Telekinesis Energy Shields turned into fragments and vanished.

“It’s the gaming god again.”

“The one who crushed the Gun Knight last time?”

“The enemy wasn’t affected! Everyone stay focused,” Zhao Mingwei’s voice rang out alongside Lion Roar across the battlefield.

In the distance, the soldiers of the Annihilation Legion were protected by a dark magic power, untouched by the collapse of the cemetery.

Sincethe fight began, his brows were permanently furrowed, for he recognized the armor style of the Annihilation Legion – the same monstrous leaders from the first invasion at Jiangcheng Food Street.

This was no ordinary monster of the Holy Spirit!

“Uncle Laughter, what’s wrong?” Mo Shigui noticed the grave expression on Zhao Mingwei’s face.

“Old Song… ping pong, anyone?”

Zhao Mingwei didn’t say anything else, only asking a phrase only people in their circle would understand.

“I’m game! I’m game! After spending half a month, I’ve thoroughly mastered the role of the Gun Master, I promise not to drop the ball,” Lin Xi said.

“Count me in, what are we betting, Uncle Laughter?” Black Pot Stewing Meat from the Dancing Nuclear Guild and Rain Song asked together.

“How about a meal, loser pays,” he said.

After speaking, Zhao Mingwei used the instant movement skill ‘Instant Step,’ common to the Fighter class, and vanished from his original spot, appearing behind a soldier of the Annihilation Legion in the next second.

The soldier was prepared and raised his sword to stab at Zhao Mingwei, who swiftly sidestepped the attack. His left hand conjured a strong Telekinesis storm and pushed it at incredible speed towards the soldier of the Annihilation Legion.

The Telekinesis storm expanded instantaneously in less than 0.5 seconds into a three-meter radius Spiral Telekinesis Field, sucking the Annihilation Legion soldier into it. The armor’s crevices were quickly penetrated by the telekinesis, and the flesh inside was irregularly twisted. Three seconds later, the Spiral Telekinesis Field disappeared, and Zhao Mingwei delivered a side kick that launched the soldier into mid-air.

“My turn!”

Lin Xi seized the opportunity and fired a sharp grenade cannon at the unfortunate Annihilation Legion soldier in mid-air. After the grenade cannon hit, as the soldier plummeted, it was followed by an uncharged Laser Cannon, which skimmed across the armor. As the soldier attempted to adjust his posture to land, what came towards him instead was a fiery red Compressed Quantum Cannon shot.

The Compressed Quantum Cannon fired a powerful energy sphere that devoured all the dust on the ground and carried the unfortunate soldier of the Annihilation Legion towards Rain Song.

Ping pong was a kind of… a mundane game played by professional players while grinding levels, relying on the air-juggle mechanism in many games to toss monsters around, whoever dropped the monster was the loser.

Using such a method, Zhao Mingwei diverted their attention, then turned his gaze towards the leaders of the Annihilation Legion in the distant position.

Feeling the Qi Power coursing through his body, the roars of dragons and tigers once more surged up around him, a giant lion formed from Qi Power appeared behind Zhao Mingwei.

“I won’t let you invade my world again!” Zhao Mingwei took control of the lion and charged directly into the enemy lines, wreaking havoc.
