Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead-Chapter 169 - 144: Immortal True King, God of the Mortal Realm
The duck in hand, of course, can’t just fly away.
Mikhail I’s golden two-handed giant sword transformed into a golden throne once again, and this time he also wore a crown on his head.
"Since you’re here, then all of you should stay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luz and a few others, who were fleeing towards the exit of the Eternal Life Tomb Chamber, suddenly traversed space and appeared around Mikhail I.
Wu Chang, observing from afar, raised an eyebrow—this was space magic, truly an expert.
As an intermediate space mage, Wu Chang could clearly feel Mikhail I’s manipulation over space.
Sitting on the golden throne and wearing the crown, Mikhail I could turn the Eternal Life Tomb Chamber into something akin to the Inner World, and as the master of this Inner World, he could freely manipulate space within.
Teleporting everyone to his side, Mikhail made the throne transform back into a giant sword and slashed at an old noble.
When the giant sword came into his hands, his body suddenly fluctuated, his hand shook, and the strike that should have been lethal only severely injured the old noble, allowing the opponent to escape before dying.
Lucky guy.
Mikhail I swung the giant sword, preparing to slash at Luz, but he forcibly stopped midway.
He abruptly turned to look at the previous old noble and found him dead in a corner, completely spotless, without any energy remnants.
What’s going on?
There must be some filthy thing in his tomb!
Hiding in the corner, Wu Chang True Self belched after gaining 15 more points of power, bringing his power to 150 points.
Mikhail I wanted to drag out the filthy thing, but creatures like Luz weren’t planning to give him that chance.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, they, like dying beasts, no longer cared about themselves and started playing a deadly game with Mikhail I.
At this moment, including Luz, only three old nobles and two fledgling knights remained, Mikhail I should have had no trouble dealing with them, but unfortunately, waking up early from Blood Moon Eternal Life affected his status, making his whole condition unstable.
Each time he struck a lethal blow, unexplained mistakes would cause the attacks to miss vital points, giving opponents a chance to breathe.
With frequent mistakes, he and Luz’s group were actually at a stalemate, unable to take down the opponents, and even got injured by a punch from Luz due to skill mismanagement.
Under the cover of golden light, Mikhail I’s injuries healed rapidly, he donned the crown again, coldly looked at Luz, and sighed.
"The farce ends here. After all this time, you haven’t shaken off the influence of the Blood Moon, regained consciousness, it’s truly disappointing."
Having dragged out the fight with Luz’s group for so long, aside from the constant low-level mistakes, there was also the reason that he deliberately held back.
Previously, he was asleep and didn’t see the scene where Wu Chang extended Luz’s lifespan. He hoped Luz would regain consciousness from the Blood Moon Eternal Life, successfully completing two Blood Moon baptisms, and only then would absorbing him achieve maximum utilization.
Seeing the most golden time of Blood Moon Eternal Life about to pass, he couldn’t hold back any longer.
The golden throne in his hands condensed into a new form, a scepter.
Mikhail I held the scepter vertically with both hands, slammed the end of the scepter onto the ground firmly, and shouted coldly, "Submit!"
A golden light exploded from the top of the scepter, rushing around. Those affected by the golden light, including Luz and his people, had the previously stable black, white, grey, and red colors inside them suddenly shake violently.
The internal conflict between vital energy, death energy, and Blood Moon Power caused them to instantly lose power, kneeling down unable to move.
At the same time, Wu Chang also received a notification.
"The target’s current status ’Inviting Calamity’ has been purified."
Mikhail I transformed the scepter back into a giant sword, pierced Luz’s heart, and said indifferently, "Farewell, Luz."
Next, he dispatched the monsters collapsed on the ground one by one with a single sword strike.
After killing the last one, as he turned around, he suddenly noticed a body, massive like a giant, crouching beside Luz’s corpse, stuffing its mouth with something.
Mikhail I froze for a moment, then reacted, suppressing his anger and asked, "What are you eating?"
Wu Chang True Self looked at Mikhail I, swallowed the vital energy and Blood Moon Power in his mouth with a gulp, laughed dryly and said, "Food can be consumed within three seconds of hitting the ground, thrift is a virtue."
Consuming Luz’s vital energy increased his power by 20 points, and the aura emitting from him grew even more imposing.
Facing the energy thief before him, Mikhail I’s forehead veins bulged; am I questioning you about thrift now?
So it was you all along, secretly eating my spoils!
Although he wanted to casually kill the thief in front of him and take back the Blood Moon Power that belonged to him, the imposing aura emitting from this giant far surpassed anyone he’s ever seen, including himself.
Facing such an opponent, he must show respect, if possible, he wouldn’t want to clash.
"Strange stranger, who are you?"
Wu Chang said, "I am the gravekeeper of this cemetery, and who are you?"
Mikhail I revealed a confident smile that belonged to a king when talking about who he was.
"Listen well, gravekeeper, in front of you is the consecrated one, chosen by the gods, the owner of the golden throne, the guide in the fog, the immortal true king, the ruler of all beings, the god of the mortal realm, Mikhail I."
Wu Chang sighed after hearing this long list of names like a patter and said, "How could I not know that so many people were buried here? A grave per household, more graves require registration and reporting, understand?"
Mikhail I hadn’t heard this joke, and took a moment to react.
"Gravekeeper, are you destined to be my enemy?"
Although Wu Chang did not express explicit hostility, from the other’s greedy eyes, it could be seen whether the other was coveting his body or the energy inside it.
Wu Chang True Self manipulated his body, shrinking his size down to about four meters and blocking the exit of the Eternal Life Tomb Chamber.
The true self and Erin positioned on either side in a triangular formation, surrounding Mikhail I in the center.
As for Han’er, the battle ahead already exceeded his capabilities, so Wu Chang arranged him to stand guard outside.
"No, no, no, Your Majesty Mikhail I, I do not intend to be your enemy, just want to borrow something."
Mikhail I’s crown condensed into golden battle armor and a golden great sword, he squinted his eyes at Wu Chang and asked, "What do you want to borrow?"
After the previous observation, Mikhail I’s battle habits and combat capabilities were mostly figured out by him.
Having figured out the enemy’s details, Wu Chang stopped pretending.
The true self huffed onto his millstone-sized fist and said, "If you stretch your neck over here, I’ll tell you."
