Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 676 - 338: Offering to the Deities_2
"How can I get something for nothing?"
He pondered for a long time, only to eventually concede.
It seemed that aside from sacrificing, there were no other ways to obtain offerings.
"Should I try sacrificing once more? After all, the sacrifice involves regenerating soul strength, not directly reducing its limit."
"No! Who knows if this might be a trap!"
When it came to soul strength connected with the Apostle’s life, it was best to be cautions no matter what.
If the acclaimed sacrificial soul strength, ended up decreasing soul strength limit after the sacrifice...
As far as Lin Xun knew, aside from the blessings of Sacred Objects, there was no method in the game capable of increasing the soul limit.
As for the soul strength limit, losing even a bit of it would result in a permanent loss.
"Shouldn’t I have ditched class? Maybe if I ’kill the Pilgrimage Angel,’ I might get the offering?"
He contemplated for a while and sighed deeply.
It was impossible to access a treasure chest without defeating the BOSS first, unless there was a bug to exploit...
Lin Xun suddenly lit up.
He scrolled up the game text. The Underworld Game displayed ’Sacrifice two souls at once,’ but it didn’t specify that the souls should belong to an Apostle.
Since the Underworld Game didn’t designate, would it be possible to sacrifice others’ souls?
Like NPCs or monster souls?
"It’s worth a shot! Even if it doesn’t work, I don’t have anything to lose."
[You possess the ’Shell of the Primordial Hermit’!]
[You open the doors of the Sacrificial Ground, a biting cold wind and snowflakes flit by your face, corpses of Feathered ones lay scattered by the entrance, not a single one left alive.]
[Only an enormous wind fluttering above you the hasn’t ceased...]
[You hastily fled from the Sacrificial Ground, letting out a resounding dragon roar, horns on your head became robust, your limbs began to swell and enlarge, a pair of giant Dragon Wings burst from your back.]
[In the blink of an eye, you turned into a massive pitch-black dragon!]
[You flapped your Wings, dispersing all the snowflakes, preparing to fly away from here...]
[From behind, a familiar piercing whistle came!]
[You suffered from an unknown control technique, your flapping Wings suddenly stiffened...]
[The charm skill ’Early Awakening’ activated!]
[Your control-breaking skill is lower than your opponent’s control technique...]
[Judging...]
[You enjoy the enhancement of the special attribute ’Fallen Dragon Seed’!]
[Determination succeeded, you freed yourself from the influence of the enemy’s control technique!]
[Your stiff Dragon Wings began to flap again, flying at full capacity, you didn’t look back and flew out of the city ruins...]
[Suddenly, a fierce wind raged from behind, snow surged...]
[A huge shadow covered you, currently in flight!]
[Looking up, you only saw a proboscis as sharp as a dragon spear pierce into your skull.]
[You let out a mournful cry, and soon lost consciousness...]
[...]
[You died!]
"... Ghidorah was instantly killed by Mosura, this isn’t logical."
Lin Xun sighed helplessly.
He wished to save a bit of soul strength to escape, then return once he respawned.
He didn’t expect the ’Pilgrimage Angel’ to not give him a single chance, even when he successfully broke free once, he couldn’t run away from the BOSS.
Death in the Underworld Game was equivalent to a full reset, after he respawned, he took the bus back to Zhongsi City.
In reality, he summoned the Valkyrie and the Nine-tailed Fox, gave them thorough instructions, and after ensuring nothing was overlooked, Lin Xun returned to the game.
[...]
[As you step closer to the city center, you can faintly make out the ’Bicui Sacrificial Ground’ resembling a church.]
[Many Feathered ones, driven to insanity, lay piled around the Sacrificial Grounds. The ’Pilgrimage Angel’ lurks at the top of the Sacrificial Grounds, occasionally thrusting its proboscis down to feast.]
Lin Xun followed the same steps as before, summoning the Valkyrie and the Nine-tailed Fox again, then switched to the Mage’s shell.
But this time, Valkyrie was the star of the show.
His and the Nine-tailed Fox’s mission was to control the BOSS, to create an opportunity for Valkyrie.
And Valkyrie’s task was no longer to clear out the mobs.
Instead, it was to kidnap them!
[...]
[...’The Pilgrimage Angel’s’ two pairs of scaly wings fluttered again, it seemed like it was about to emerge from the ’Soul Taking and Spirit Seizing’ control.]
[You opened a pink eye, performing the special skill ’Pleasure Smoke Vision’ !]
[The ’Pilgrimage Angel’ fell into a stiff state again, motionlessly lurking at the top of the Sacrificial Grounds.]
[Valkyrie has flown near the Sacrificial Grounds...]
[A thick Tribulation Cloud covered the Sacrificial Grounds, dazzling purple lightning descended!]
[Under the control of ’Nine-tailed Fox,’ lightning interconnected when it struck, it burned most of the Feathered ones into charcoal, leaving a few near the doors of the Sacrificial Grounds.]
[Valkyrie retracted her wings the moment she touched the ground, several surviving Feathered ones instantly pounced...]
[Valkyrie detached her golden Longbow from her back. With the bowstring as her blade, her figure danced mysteriously, and soon the remaining few Feathered ones were rebated to rods.]
[She shoved the doors of the Sacrificial Grounds aside, quickly lifted several Feathered ones and threw them inside.]
[Then, she pulled the bowstring and released arrows, swish swish swish, few arrows pinned the Feathered ones to the circumference of the ’Sacrificial Cocoon’...]
’Pilgrimage Angel’s’ strength was formidable, control techniques could only give it a very short duration of restraint.
Valkyrie executed her tasks swiftly, even so, Lin Xun and the Nine-tailed Fox had almost depleted their MP. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Seeing Valkyrie flawlessly completed the task, Lin Xun, taking advantage of the last control gap from Nine-tailed Fox’s ’Soul Taking and Spirit Seizing,’ switched shells, mounted the sword, and darted into the Sacrificial Grounds. Soon the game notifications chimed.
[Your Shikigami ’Origin-tracking Nine-tailed Fox’ suffered fatal damage!]
