Join the ServerThe escaping light condensed into ice in an instant, forming ice clusters as massive as small mountains. These clusters radiated from the center, completely encasing the bell tower before exploding.
Instant kill for everyone!
The skill was one-time use. Although the special effects were spectacular, it couldn’t wipe out the entire field—just clear the players near the bell tower.
But wasn’t this skill a bit too overpowered?
The players outside the skill range stood stunned, then murmured in confusion, “…What kind of cheater skill is this?”
I hadn’t expected it to be so powerful either, but a glance at my status bar explained everything.
[Status: Extreme Weakness]
[Effect: Fatigue value remains at maximum for the next 12 hours; defense reduced to 0; HP cap reduced by 95%.]
How terrifying! Especially the 95% HP cap reduction. I now had only 5% HP left—impossible to heal, and any light touch would send me to the afterlife!
That damn Xueli never told me this would happen!
Before I could even touch the ground, I quickly hurled my Holy Pea of Light!
“Heavenly justice, justice, justice, justice, justice!”
The rain of justice cleared another small wave of players rushing the bell tower. But by now, we had truly exhausted all our tricks and resources.
To make matters worse, the ice pillar beneath me began to collapse.
I was in free fall from a two-hundred-meter altitude—
Which idiot designed this skill! It’s all about showing off with no concern for follow-up! If you’re going to send me up, at least have the decency to bring me down!
Yingning was dead, and I was about to be too.
“Annihilation Sword! Open!”
In an instant, a dazzling light tore across the sky, even forcing the players on the ground to close their eyes involuntarily.
I didn’t close mine. I was looking up, able to see Aksiya’s movements, and what was happening in the sky was something I couldn’t bear to miss.
Just one sword—an incredibly sharp sword, imbued with the supreme and mighty will of destruction!
Shermi had wrapped himself tightly in a fiery orb, the flames blazing to their limit. He was clearly using all his power, yet his face showed no worry.
Aksiya swung her sword.
The sword’s trajectory was invisible. In an instant, she appeared behind Shermi.
Who won?
Aksiya gently closed her eyes and swayed, collapsing into Xueli’s arms.
Meanwhile, Shermi remained standing unharmed in mid-air.
What? Did we lose? Even after defending this long, we still lost? What a joke—was this quest impossible?
Whoosh—
The flames on Shermi dissipated instantly. His face still bore that confident expression. But a second later, his upper body slid diagonally off his lower half and fell to the corrupted ground with two wet splats.
The illusion was broken. We had won.
But it hardly felt like a victory!
Where was the thrilling siege battle we were promised? Was it over already?
Three minutes, total. Not only was there no pleasure, but the key thing is—damn it, someone catch me! I’m still falling! Save me!
[Cancel Summon]
The scene shifted. I lay on soft grass. Just like last time, I was returned to the pet space at the last moment, escaping a death by falling.
Thankfully we won. Both sides’ quests were declared complete. We were no longer enemies, and I had disengaged from battle, allowing me to return to pet space.
The scene shifted again. I was summoned to Yingning’s side at the Minos City revival point. The moment Yingning saw me, she hugged me tightly as if we had survived a disaster—I was used to it by now.
Princess of Minos City
[Minos City Announcement]
[I am the acting city lord, Aksiya. The original city lord, Shermi, betrayed the alliance. Minos City had long fallen. Now the traitor Shermi is dead, and the illusion is lifted. Look beneath your feet!]
[This is the true state of Minos City!]
The surrounding players looked around in disbelief and terror, screams of fear filling the air.
They had believed themselves to be the righteous army, confident in becoming heroes of the defense. They never expected that this time, they were the villains!
The purple-black, rotten ground wasn’t frozen by the northern cold; it was even a bit soft and sticky.
Bones protruding from the mire, even a skull under their feet, centipedes crawling over their insteps—
All of this shattered their nerves.
It was unimaginable that they had been staying in such a place.
“Traitor Jiangu, die! Return my flower—Eeee! A bug! So scary! Boohoo…”
A certain loli rushed behind Jiangu just as the illusion dissipated. For the first time ever, she ran away crying.
“Traitor… boohoo… traitor Jiangu! I will… boohoo… come back!”
Jiangu smiled helplessly, retracted his staff, and sighed to the Black Mirror Healer beside him. “Another failure. These people might really be our Sword Sweeping the World’s destined nemesis.”
The Black Mirror Healer shrugged. “You just didn’t take it seriously. If you had, they’d have been dogs with their tails between their legs long ago.”
Jiangu didn’t answer.
The Black Mirror Healer thought that maybe they should advise the guild members to steer clear of these people from now on.
“Forget these trivial matters. I won’t get personally involved anymore. I’ve had too many distractions lately. It’s time to settle down and focus on improving my strength.” With that, Jiangu turned and led the Sword Sweeping the World team off the battlefield.
Bai Li Mie Tian looked at his name tag, now a deep, dark red above his head. He turned and bolted—the illusion hiding his red name was gone. If he didn’t run, he’d be stripped naked!
Bai Li Mie Tian’s heart clenched. Those bastards had ruined his plans again!
But soon he breathed a sigh of relief—the Assassin Guild’s true number one assassin had already accepted his contract. They were doomed!
That assassin had never failed. Even Dongjun had died by his hand! Compared to Dongjun, these people were like kindergarten-level difficulty!
Under the hateful glares of the surrounding players, Aksiya and Xueli flew down and landed before us.
Seeing my state, Xueli was surprised. “How did you end up half-dead like this?”
“I have your skill to thank for that…” I rolled my eyes at her.
“That’s not right… Ah, I’ve got it!” Xueli suddenly clapped her hands.
“What do you think you know now…” I leaned weakly against Yingning.
“It’s because of the children in your belly! They absorbed the pure crystal energy when you released that skill. Not only did it cause a magic resonance that doubled the skill’s power, but it also doubled the energy inside you—Pfft, hahahaha! Now you have even more energy!” Xueli burst into earth-shattering laughter.
On hearing this, I nearly cried. “No way! Again?!”
“The skill you just fired was ten times stronger than the normal version, but the energy in your belly also became ten times greater! Pfft, hahahaha… Oh dear, the Celestial Ruins are going to be in big trouble!” Xueli laughed so hard tears streamed down her face. Even Aksiya let out a chuckle.
“Can you at least give me a hint? What’s really going on?” I held my belly, looking at them with tear-filled eyes.
“Absolutely, absolutely cannot tell you! If we did, you’d definitely abort them! Hahahaha…”
I wanted to abort right now!
“But don’t worry. I never expected that releasing the skill while pregnant would double the energy in your belly… But you don’t need to panic. The energy boost has also sped up the little ones’ maturation more than expected. In a few hours, you’ll enter your egg-laying period. Then you’ll know pfft hahahaha…”
