Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 98: Chapter 97: For a Better Tomorrow (3rd Update, Overload Update)

Zhao Mingwei had always been pondering one question while playing Saints Spirit. @@novelbin@@

Was the monster invasion he saw on Jiangcheng Food Street that day real or fake?

After that, he continued to gather some information and even tentatively inquired from an acquaintance who was a test player about the first Abyss Hunt in Saints Spirit.

The replies from those test players were all the same: they had participated in that Abyss Hunt and had also seen the Jiangcheng Food Street scene, but they all believed it was an AR scene created by the game company.

AR… Everyone around him believed that, and even Zhao Mingwei himself had started to believe it.

Not until he saw these soldiers of the Obliteration Legion did Zhao Mingwei feel a strong premonition that, if… he didn’t stop them here or completely annihilate them, the world they would invade next would be the real world, and the knives in their hands could very well be swung at his own compatriots.

...

But this was the game world!

His home field!

In this place, he was not the useless common man he was in the real world.

In the world of Saints Spirit, he was a Mind Energy Master who wielded the powerful force of the mad emperor of the Telekinesis Beast·Dragon Tiger Roar!

“Roar!”

The Awakening Skill Golden Thunder Tiger that Zhao Mingwei released plunged into the midst of the Obliteration Legion, its massive body easily overpowering a soldier of the Obliteration Legion to the ground with a swipe of its paw.

But the Obliteration Legion’s soldiers did not let Zhao Mingwei trample on them, thousands of black hands rose from the ground and rushed towards the Golden Thunder Tiger summoned by Zhao Mingwei.

The hands corroded the body of the Golden Thunder Tiger, and as it charged into the enemy’s ranks, Zhao Mingwei uttered a deep “Explode!”

With one final roar, the Golden Thunder Tiger exploded from within, its Telekinesis Energy transforming into destructive bolts of lightning that instantly burst amidst the enemy ranks of the Obliteration Legion, shattering their formation.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Mingwei appeared in front of a soldier wielding a giant axe with another Instant Step, his fist roaring with the power of Dragon Tiger towards the soldier.

But the Obliteration Legion soldier caught Zhao Mingwei’s arm.

“Pathetic humans.”

The soldier exerted force on his hand, several black hands extended from his gauntlet to Zhao Mingwei’s arm, and Zhao Mingwei’s health instantly dropped by a tenth.

“Pathetic? I remember you said that phrase before.”

Zhao Mingwei looked at the opponent’s skull faceplate; although there were some small differences in the Obliteration Legion soldiers’ outfits, the style of the armor was exactly the same.

This soldier once again reminded Zhao Mingwei of… his own powerlessness as a common person at the food street.

The Spiritual Energy Orb swirling around Zhao Mingwei directly crashed into the faceplate of that Obliteration Legion soldier, the energy penetrating through the gaps in the faceplate and stabbing into his eyes.

In his moment of panic, Zhao Mingwei broke free from his restraint and punched the chest of the Obliteration Legion soldier, pulling back one fist just to strike again immediately.

Mind Energy Masters were inherently known for their attack speed, and with the 50% increase in attack speed from the Yellow Jacket’s Speed, theoretically, it now took Zhao Mingwei less than 0.2 seconds to deliver a punch.

But that assumed Zhao Mingwei’s reaction time could keep up with his game-set attack speed.

But… he could!

Endless roars of the Dragon Tiger Roar emanated from Zhao Mingwei’s body as he continuously pounded his fists on the head of that Obliteration Legion soldier.

In Zhao Mingwei’s vision, a record number was continuously rising— that was the combo count!

123combo!

156combo!

251combo!

The soldier from the Eradication Legion had been bewildered by the force of the Dragon and Tiger, now feeling as if his head was filled with the roaring of tigers, as if he had been thrown into a cage with a hundred thousand tigers.

The punch Zhao Mingwei landed on his faceplate had turned into a pure white afterimage, and at the same time, the Eradication Legion’s faceplate rapidly began to dent and crack.

The soldier of the Eradication Legion stepped back, trying to break through Zhao Mingwei’s attack, which was like a violent storm, but the moment he stepped back, he collided with a Phantom created by Zhao Mingwei’s telekinesis.

Phantom Explosion!

Ten Telekinesis Energy Illusions exploded at that moment, and the force of the telekinesis again struck the soldier of the Eradication Legion, causing his body to lose balance.

Zhao Mingwei seized the opportunity, grabbing the opponent’s neck with one hand and aiming his other hand directly at his head, as the roaring of the dragon and tiger emanated from Zhao Mingwei’s fist, starting to ferociously gnaw at his head.

This time the soldier from the Eradication Legion was completely unable to break free, because he had been completely knocked out by Zhao Mingwei.

Tiger’s Earth-shaking Strike!

Finally, a golden phantom burst out from Zhao Mingwei’s body, and a ferocious tiger leaped from behind him to completely “nail” him to the ground before exploding.

1268combo!

Zhao Mingwei looked at the soldier of the Eradication Legion who had fainted on the ground, his fists clenched and now covered in the blood from the soldier of the Eradication Legion.

At that moment, Zhao Mingwei looked up at the other soldiers of the Eradication Legion. The moment they were stared at by Zhao Mingwei, they all took a step back.

“I…won’t let you take a single step out of here,” flashed a spark of lightning in Zhao Mingwei’s eyes, his pupils reflecting the figures of those Eradication Legion soldiers.

The other soldiers of the Eradication Legion, all bloodthirsty by nature, were frightened by Zhao Mingwei’s frenzied attack for a moment, but soon they roared and charged towards Zhao Mingwei.

Suddenly, a Satellite Beam fell from the sky, isolating the soldiers of the Eradication Legion who were trying to surround Zhao Mingwei.

“Xiao Ye you lost! And you seem particularly irritable today!”

“Really?” Zhao Mingwei calmly replied in the voice chat, “Next time you come to Jiang City, I’ll treat you, provided we clear this instance.”

“Easy,” Mo Shigui responded, leading his guild members to start a new round of strategy.

Zhao Mingwei looked over his shoulder. At this moment, the players had almost all entered a state of frenzied slaughter.

Next to him, a player of the Blue Fist Saint stared at Zhao Mingwei for a long time, finally touching his head helplessly and shouting ‘Ora Ora’ as he charged into the enemy ranks.

The Telekinesis Beast·Dragon Tiger Roar state on Zhao Mingwei’s body gradually faded, but soon, a new Dragon Tiger Telekinesis Beast attached itself to Zhao Mingwei, and his right hand also began to accumulate the power of telekinesis.

A Telekinesis Cannon shot hit one of the Eradication Legion soldiers and then exploded. After that, several more meteors and ice spears bloomed on the battlefield.

Indeed… Zhao Mingwei felt the telekinesis energy flowing through his body and confirmed one thing.

Maybe in the real world we are just ordinary mortals.

But in this world… we are one in ten thousand heroes!
