Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 757 - 337: Cursed Space_2

"Whether you’re right or wrong, I believe you’re different from the others in the Bright Society. If you remember our friendship, place a bottle of wine for me at Qingming each year."

Gu Hongwen shook his head and said to the Lion Helmet:

"I’ll leave this to you. I’m going after those two survivors from the secret space."

With that said, he moved his steps, and his figure disappeared.

The left-behind Lion Helmet grinned at Xu Dejun and said:

"Old man, I’m called Hercules. Do you have a preferred way to die? In honor of my big brother, I can help you achieve it."

Xu Dejun wobbly stood up, took out his well-used broadsword, took a deep breath, and said, "Let’s die in battle."

The Lion Helmet drew his sword and shield from his portable space and walked towards Xu Dejun, saying:

"No problem, I’ll give you the honorable battle a warrior deserves."

As the battle was about to begin, a hand suddenly pressed on Xu Dejun’s shoulder. He turned around to find Wu Chang behind him.

Wu Chang complained, "Why is it every time I see you, you’re being chased by someone?"

His eyes flashed with excitement as he slipped a metal card, the same as last time, into Wu Chang’s hand, then said:

"Take it and go! Leave this to me!"

He’d held out until now just to find an opportunity to leave this piece of intelligence and hand it to Wu Chang. Now that the intelligence was delivered, his duty was complete, and he had no more worries.

Wu Chang looked at the metal card in his hand, and a question mark slowly appeared on his face.

What kind of act is this, with team members sacrificing themselves so the hope of the future can leave with the important intelligence?

But in backing me up, did you forget who saved you last time?

Wu Chang rolled his eyes and pulled Xu Dejun, who was about to charge at Hercules, back with force.

"Don’t rush to send yourself to death first. You ruined my good dream and almost made me mentally impotent. How will you compensate me?"

Now it was Xu Dejun’s turn to have a question mark. Bro, in such a crucial time affecting the fate of the Desolate Realm and humanity, why are you still worried about impotence?

And what’s this about a good dream and impotence, what does it have to do with me? You can’t possibly be practicing with me in your dreams.

Xu Dejun opened his mouth several times but didn’t know where to start with his retorts. Anxious to have Wu Chang leave with the intelligence, he struggled to find the right point to speak, feeling utterly helpless.

While the two of them were busy talking, Hercules grew impatient. Like a Spartan warrior, he tapped his sword against his shield, signaling them to pause.

"You two stop arguing. Nobody’s leaving today."

Wu Chang frowned, looking at the brawny man in the distance, and asked, "Who is he?"

Xu Dejun whispered, "A member of the Bright Society, calls himself Hercules, a full member with divinity. He’s different from the projection you dealt with before. Don’t underestimate him."

Wu Chang’s mouth slightly opened, and he greeted Hercules with cupped hands, saying, "So it’s the son of Zeus, my apologies. I know a few of your brothers are in the professional league."

Hercules couldn’t understand what Wu Chang was saying, but from the tone, it didn’t seem like good words.

He roared angrily, like a standing lion, stepping towards Wu Chang.

"I don’t care who you are. You disrupted a sacred duel between warriors. You’ll pay for this."

Wu Chang placated, "No worries, I’ll finish this fair duel for him. I promise, the only combatants will be you and me, no one else."

Hercules’ anger diminished slightly as he scrutinized Wu Chang, a look of puzzlement in his eyes.

How could he not feel the plane barrier of the Realm of Reason from the other?

"Are you a player from the Desolate Realm?"

Wu Chang answered, "Yes, and you? A low-ranking god or demigod."

Though Hercules couldn’t wrap his head around how a Desolate Realm player made it to the Realm of Reason with the Pillar of the Present World shut, he instinctively replied:

"Still a demigod."

Wu Chang raised an eyebrow, saying, "Then you still need practice."

Before Hercules could react, a puddle appeared at his feet, and his body sank into it.

Xu Dejun’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Is it resolved this quickly?"

Wu Chang shrugged, saying, "Not that easy, just temporarily trapping him."

The Blind Abyss is exceptionally effective against Desolate Realm targets, but not so much against those with divinity.

Though Hercules was still a demigod, his rich divinity made the Blind Abyss ineffective against him.

Instead, Hercules sank directly into the depths of the Blind Abyss, continuously attacking the space barrier with his longsword.

The divine-enhanced attacks were extremely powerful, each strike inflicting over a hundred points of damage. Combined with his tireless momentum, Wu Chang furrowed his brows watching him.

Trapping others in the Blind Abyss often allowed him to exhaust opponents with the space barrier. But by trapping Hercules, this fellow was trying to exhaust his energy with the space barrier instead.

Since the Blind Abyss proved ineffective, he didn’t persist and flung Hercules out of it.

At the moment of ejection, he preemptively judged the landing point and unleashed a space distortion at that spot.

As Hercules was thrown out of the Blind Abyss, his chest collided with the space distortion, the space at his chest twisting like a vortex.

The space distortion, one of Wu Chang’s most potent attacks, was immensely powerful. Even the Bone Tooth Necklace Item worn by Hercules could not withstand the spatial twisting, shattering on the spot.
