Chapter 99 -101: Outsmarting the Final Boss, Starting the Rest Page_1
[In the blink of an eye, you’ve breached the temple’s dome, transforming into a towering thirty-meter tall giant!]
[Among the debris and rubble, countless gigantic ‘Fallen Silkworm Moths’ burst into the air, flapping their scaly wings and flying towards you …]
[One of the moths, noticeably larger – the ‘Fallen Light Moth’ – spreads its wings nearly twenty meters wide.]
[With every flap of its wings, it showers an array of colorful powder. Another flap, and this powder drifts towards you…]
What the devil is this?
Will an Earth Giant battling Mothra be more explosive than King Kong fighting Godzilla?
[As the powder settles on your body, you immediately start feeling dizzy.]
[‘Fallen Earth Giant’, your Shell, has been inflicted with an unknown, deadly poison!]
“Damn! This BOSS doesn’t fight fair – using poison!”
[Apostle poisoned, what will you do?]
[1. Yell ‘Keep it tight’ loudly, pick up the three-headed lion beside your foot, stride away with your enormous legs and try to retreat. You firmly believe that while there are still green hills, there’s no need to worry about no wood to burn.]
[2. Give the battle command to the three-headed lion to distract the moths while you safely flee. Trust that the three-headed lion understands your predicament.]
[3. Raise your ‘Giant Beasts Chieftain Wand’ and strike at the largest Light Moth. The strategy is to capture the king first. Perhaps you can defeat it before the poison kills you.]
The game text in front of him was bright red and incessantly shaking.
Lin Xun’s brain worked fervently.
He quickly opened the items column, cancelling the summoning of the three-headed lion.
He then decisively clicked the third option, headstrong!
The Earth Giant, known for its extraordinary strength and stamina, was an ideal choice especially as Lin Xun had previously used the item ‘Ancient Tree’s Heart’ to extend its health limit.
Lin Xun didn’t believe that the Earth Giant, with its tremendously long health bar, would fall before he took down the giant moth.
Any tricks are worthless in the face of overwhelming power.
[You roar deafeningly, raising your wand and slams towards the charging ‘Fallen Light Moth’ …]
[The giant moth flaps its wings rapidly, evading your attack by soaring into the air, its jaw releasing a dark coffee-colored adhesive which it squirts at you …]
[There’s a sizzling sound as the adhesive touches your skin.]
[Even under the ‘Blessing of Mother Earth’, the adhesive still corrodes your skin, leaving horrific, bone-deep wounds.]
[Numerous moths rush towards you, blocking your view. You swing your weapon and defeat them one by one, causing debris and adhesive to scatter around.]
[Because of your obstructed view and the ‘Fallen Light Moth’ constantly flying high above, your wand fails to hit it.]
[It flaps its wings and as the colorful powder spreads, the poison inside you intensifies.]
Lin Xun frowned as he pondered a strategy.
Being a superior defensive giant with an abundance of health, the Earth Giant could last for a bit longer.
According to the game text, the moth boss’s poisonous powder accumulates. The more the powder, the higher the damage.
Dragging this fight on would not be in his favor.
After a bit of thought, Lin Xun knew what to do.
So the BOSS can fly? And it has a horde of minions too?
Since attacking head-on didn’t work, he’d employ a flanking sneak attack. He doesn’t only inhabit one Shell!
Clicking on the retreat option.
[Knowing you are no match, you turn around and move your giant legs, causing the ground to shake and stirring up a cloud of dust …]
[The ‘Fallen Light Moth’ couldn’t catch up with you as you disappeared into the distance, and could only watch helplessly as you vanished.]
“Phew~”
Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
After the Earth Giant’s size increased, battling these nimble, flying enemies proved a bit cumbersome.
In a straightforward dual, the Earth Giant isn’t inferior to any boss at the current stage.
But the enemy could fly and was not offering him a chance for a head-on confrontation.
However, Lin Xun had already figured out a way to deal with these giant moths!
[The poison in the ‘Fallen Earth Giant’s Shell slowly subsided as time passed…]
Lin Xun raised his eyebrow, the poison in the Earth Giant was weakening since it wasn’t being continuously exposed to the poison powder. Even despite its venomous resistance, it was indeed a durable tank.
He smirked as he proceeded with his plan, opening the Shell column and clicking on the Dancer Shell.
[You have possessed the ‘Fallen Ancient Theater Dancer’s Shell.]
After using the invisibility skill, he returned to his former battlefield.
[The ‘Church of Divine Light’s Temple Ruins have been destroyed by a great force and reduced to rubble …]
[Many gigantic moths were on the rubble.]
Lin Xun continued with his invisible stance, advancing.
Upon approaching the soldier moth, he opened the board and clicked on ‘Widow-Maker – the Sleeve Sword’, a tool familiar to him for clearing minor enemies.
[Bold and audacious Apostle, while maintaining invisibility, you quietly approached the ‘Fallen Silkworm Moth’ …]
[A razor-sharp blade flashed out of the gauntlet on your left arm, quickly plunging into the head of the giant moth.]
[The moth’s softly flapping wings suddenly stiffened, then weakly dropped.]
[You defeated the ‘Fallen Silkworm Moth’, receiving a small boost in experience points.]
After taking down a soldier moth, Lin Xun proceeded to the next one, first weakening the moth boss’s forces before launching his final strike.
[You defeated the ‘Fallen Silkworm Moth’, receiving a small boost in experience points.]
[You defeated the ‘Fallen Silkworm Moth’, receiving a small boost in experience points.]
…
As they continued to wipe out the subordinates of the BOSS, the experience of the Dancer’s Shell soared.
[The power within the shell started to boil, the shell level of the ‘Fallen Old Theater Dancer’ has increased, Current shell level: 17.]
[The power within the shell started to boil, the shell level of the ‘Fallen Old Theater Dancer’ has increased, Current shell level: 18.]
[Among the moths perched on the ruins, all of them on the verge of exhaustion, only one ‘Fallen Light Moth’ of massive size was still fluttering its wings among the rubble.]
[Do you want to assassinate it?]
Lin Xun chose decisively ‘No’.
What a joke, letting the dancer confront the BOSS would be nothing short of courting death.
The dancer had completely fulfilled its task. The next job was for other Shells.
Operating the dancer to retreat all the way back to the safe zone.
Looking at the time, Lin Xun’s soul strength had recovered in the morning, and he conveniently finished the reconstruction of the Law Knight.
Now, in the shell inventory, apart from two rubbish beastmen, only the blacksmith’s shell remained to be rebuilt.
Looking at the full shell inventory, Lin Xun grinned.
With so many shells, was he afraid he wouldn’t be able to kill a big moth?
It was still early, Lin Xun put down his phone, waiting for dusk to come.
Opening the writer’s assistant, just about to start writing, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to report the results of his book launch to his handsome readers and beauties.
He hastily typed a message for the author’s note, leaving it at the end of the chapter.
Then he began his daily writing tasks…
When night fell, he looked content at the two epic-sized chapters of two thousand words each, clicked publish.
He pulled out his phone and continued his gaming journey.
The little lion was still guarding next to his shell.
Lin Xun opened the shell inventory and clicked on the shell for the Yellow Bishop.
[You’ve taken possession of the ‘Fallen Yellow Bishop of the White Moon Church.’]
He recalled the three-headed lion and strutted towards the Moth BOSS.
[‘The Temple Ruins of the Church of Divine Light’ have been destroyed into ruins by a mighty power…]
[Under the pristine moonlight, countless gigantic moths settled on the ruins. However, they sat unmoving, their wings hanging down helplessly.]
[Only one enormous moth in the distance is still slowly fluttering its wings…]
Lin Xun opened the panel and clicked on ‘Profane Sunlight’.
[Daredevil apostle, do you wish to use ‘Profane Sunlight’ against the ‘Fallen Light Moth’]?
[You raise the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ and mumble an incantation]
[A flash of red light…]
[‘Profane Sunlight’ hits the enemy!]
[The ‘Fallen Light Moth’ has discovered you and is flying towards you with its wings fluttering!]
Without even looking at the text, Lin Xun repeatedly clicked on ‘Profane Sunlight’.
[You raise the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ and mumble an incantation]
[A flash of red light…]
[‘Profane Sunlight’ hits the enemy!]
[The ‘Fallen Light Moth’ is attracted by the flickering red light, fluttering its wings uncontrollably as it flies towards you!]
With lightning speed, Lin Xun took possession of the Giant’s Shell.
[You have taken possession of the ‘Fallen Earth Giant’ shell!]
[You swing your staff, smashing it towards the giant moth that can’t help but hurl towards you!]
[With a thunderous boom, the ‘Fallen Light Moth’ takes considerable damage, flutters its wings, and flies high…]
Lin Xun slightly smiled and clicked on the shell of the Yellow Bishop again.
[You have taken possession of the ‘Fallen Yellow Bishop’ shell.]
[You raise the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ and mumble an incantation…]
[A flash of red light…]
[‘Profane Sunlight’ hits the enemy!]
[The ‘Fallen Light Moth’ is attracted by the flickering red light, fluttering its wings uncontrollably as it flies towards you!]
Lin Xun took possession of the Earth Giant’s shell again…
Like this, Lin Xun repeated the process several times, using the natural characteristic of moths flying towards light, effortlessly taking down this final BOSS.
[You swing your staff, smashing it towards the giant moth that can’t help but hurl towards you!]
[With a thunderous boom, the ‘Fallen Light Moth’ is dealt a fatal blow.]
[The ‘Fallen Light Moth’ lets out a silent wail, plummeting straight down from the sky…]
[You have defeated the ‘Fallen Light Moth’, experience gains increased significantly!]
[The power within the shell begins to boil, the shell level of the ‘Fallen Earth Giant’ has increased, current shell level: 29.]
[You obtained ‘A Small Piece of Tenacious Spirituality’ x1.]
[You obtained ‘Colorful Poison Powder Gland’ (Material).]
[You obtained ‘Light Moth’s Poison Resistance Crystal Core’ (Unique Item).]
[You obtained ‘Brilliantly Colored Winged Boots’ (Epic Level Equipment).]
[Following the death and fall of the ‘Fallen Light Moth’, a giant page hanging in mid-air suddenly appeared in front of you.]
[Do you want to touch the Remnant of the Book of Salvation – Rest Page?]</p
