"What secret manual? This is clearly just exploiting a Miracle to cause trouble! So shaless! And all that about 'being out-skilled and admitting defeat'—that's humiliation! Humiliation!"
Ren Suo felt as though he could hear the resentnt in those nine people's hearts, as Luna's 'arrogant' buff was accumulating layer by layer. She lightly utilized Moon Step and ran toward the Silver Moon Crystal, nearly managing to rush over and snatch it away.
Touch of Tidal Destruction, although extrely magnificent in effect, was undoubtedly disastrous for the earth itself. The cat paws that erupted from the ground were not weak in force, but for these nine fierce competitors, they were not enough to cause fatal damage, not even Serious Injuries.
Unlike Luna, most of the other Apostles of the Moon God ca into the Mask of the Moon with identities, gaining a lot of Experience Points on the first day by embodying their character tags. Moreover, they weren't as isolated as Luna. They all had family and friends, so their Dream Quota wasn't going to be too low, allowing them to create favorable identities for themselves within dreams within dreams.
Their strength had rapidly increased over these two days. The mont they were knocked back by the cat paws, they almost simultaneously perford various defensive actions. When they saw Luna dashing toward the silver pillar of light, they didn't even think before hurling Miracle Spells at Luna!
Even though they were standing right next to the Silver Moon Crystal, they battled furiously for nearly two to three minutes. This was because everyone was wary of each other. They all hesitated with probing attacks and dared not rush over to pick up the Silver Moon Crystal, knowing that whoever took the lead would die.
Now, Luna first verbally humiliated them and then charged over without any concern. It was no wonder they exploded in anger.
However, whether it was Miracles or Spells, they had no effect on Luna at all, only destroying so flowers and plants under her feet. Soon, soone realized what was happening: "Her Miracle grants Spell Immunity!"
Three lee Transcendents wielding Weapons then charged at Luna. However, at that mont, the others also attacked those three Transcendents. Luna's location was exactly where the Silver Moon Crystal was, so their first target upon approaching wasn't to clash with Luna, but to try to secure the Silver Moon Crystal!
With all nine people harboring their own sches, it was unlikely anyone could stop Luna.
"Thank you, everyone, for just standing by and watching. In that case, I'll just put on a little show… Huh? Who left this Silver Moon Crystal here?"
"Luna has obtained 'Silver Moon Crystal: Dragon Heart'."
"Silver Moon Crystal: Dragon Heart: Possessing this Silver Moon Crystal, your non-combat Recovery abilities are greatly enhanced, allowing for limb regeneration. All Supernatural Ability power is increased by 5%, and Moon-Related Supernatural Ability power is additionally enhanced by 25%."
"Current number of Silver Moon Crystals: 4/25."
Seeing Luna suddenly burst with speed, Teleporting into the midst of the silver light pillar, picking up the Silver Moon Crystal, and mockingly saying such words, everyone was half dead with anger. They stopped hindering the three lee Transcendents but tried to prevent Luna from leaving!
Hitting you doesn't matter, but the earth won't dodge!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
For a ti, the ground near Luna was blasted with flying sand and rocks. If Ren Suo hadn't cleverly equipped her with Gauze Clothing earlier, Luna would have at least been disfigured this ti. Luna couldn't block the derivative physical damage from Spells.
Just then, a man stepped in front of Luna and shouted loudly. The nearby broken rocks piled upon him, turning him into a massive stone man in an instant!
The stone man slamd down his fists, lifting a massive wave of broken stones. Luna simply couldn't rush past, as this was a pure physical Attack.
But at this mont, the other Transcendents also closed in, and they didn't waste effort attacking Luna. Instead, two people suddenly pulled out handguns and attempted to shoot Luna!
In this level of Transcendent battle, firearms were neither strong nor weak. This was mainly because untrained ordinary people, even with guns, might not cause effective Damage, at most only achieving Intimidation.
If the enemy possessed Defensive Magic, the kinetic energy of the bullets alone would hardly cause Serious Injuries unless a vital point was hit. Furthermore, based on Ren Suo's own tests, the pain tolerance of Third-turn Cultivators had greatly increased. They wouldn't even cry out in pain if they viciously kicked a wall corner with their little toe.
But of the two people with guns, one was Black and the other was White!
Among the Federal Extraordinary Ones, there was an F-level Spell, Precision, which all Federal soldiers could learn. This enhancent Spell ensured that, within 100 ters, shooting accuracy reached 100%!
Caught in a pincer Attack, Ren Suo was not panicked at all, because Luna had absorbed quite a few Attacks just now, and it was ti to return them.
"Doomsday Fire!"
"Death's Touch!"
"Earthshock!"
"teor Fire Rain!"
Flaming cat heads condensed above Luna and plumted. The Fiery Flas tore at the Black man with the gun, and the repeatedly shattered earth made everyone unstable again…
Ren Suo controlled Luna, Dodging and counterattacking. Those chasing Luna soon fell into a defensive stance, not daring to approach easily. They were not rely facing Luna as an enemy; everyone around them harbored their own sches.
However, during this short period, the stone man's form transford again, becoming even larger and more robust, like an unyielding fortress blocking Luna's path!
Ren Suo tried to have Luna circle around, but the stone man simply whipped up a storm of flying rocks, Knocking Luna back!
Each little rock in the storm could nearly break through Defenses, forcing Luna to be harshly driven back. She was unable to bypass it and could only Charge back to tear open the encirclent behind her!
Right beside them, a red-haired Transcendent seed to be staggered by the stone man's barrage of rocks. Ren Suo had Luna instantly burst forth, unleashing the remaining four damaging Miracle Spells at him!
In that instant, a blue-haired female Transcendent appeared in front of the red-haired man, blocking all of Luna's Miracle Spells, but she instantly fell into a Dream Death State.
The red-haired man imdiately embraced the blue-haired woman's body. However, possibly due to the cost of the Miracles she had cast earlier, he couldn't lift her. Instead, her body pinned down his arms.
Ren Suo didn't think about delivering a coup de grâce and hurried Luna to activate Mage's Death-Defying Feather and flee the encirclent. However, Luna had barely taken two steps when a blast was heard, and suddenly, a prompt popped up in the ga:
"Only blood and death can make the yearning of dreams resonate through the night sky."
The Waxing Crescent Moon in the background suddenly stained a shade of blood red. The previously immaculate Silver Moon turned slightly dark red, and it seed like the whole world's atmosphere beca oppressively tense at once.
What does this an?
Ren Suo shifted the view and noticed that the spot where the red-haired man and the blue-haired woman had been was now enveloped in Smoke. This was probably because other competitors had seized the opportunity of their vulnerability to collectively annihilate this pair of Apostles of the Moon God and their companions, who were dedicated to the principle of "I swear to protect you for life; you are willing to die with ."
At that mont, Ren Suo recalled how the Watcher had once spoken to Luna in an earlier narrative within the ga, "In this competition, you must not kill other Apostles, nor must you please the Moon God."
According to the ga's prompt and the Watcher's advice, killing other Apostles would please the Moon God, leading to the moon being stained blood red…
This definitely has sothing to do with the achievents gained at the mission's completion, and, moreover, there seem to be achievents for both the path of pleasing the Moon God and the path of not pleasing the Moon God.
In the past, even if Ren Suo could predict such divergent achievent missions, he wouldn't know whether his choices were right or wrong unless he completed the ga. Or perhaps there wasn't a question of right or wrong, just different choices.
But now it was different. Ren Suo exited the ga and opened the Mystic Tavern.
Ren Suo glanced over. Huh? Is soone in the tavern actually drinking... tea?
Today's Fairy Palace Assassin was still wearing his signature black suit and seated at the tavern's bar. However, on the bar were teapots, teacups, and a range of tea-making tools. He looked as though he was enjoying Chinese tea.
Ren Suo blinked and clicked on the Fairy Palace Assassin, who turned his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the screen to see Ren Suo in the three-dinsional world, and said with a smile, "Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar? I shall use tea in place of wine to celebrate our reunion."
Ren Suo had almost forgotten that the Fairy Palace Assassin had this penchant for speaking in classical Chinese and asked, "You're drinking tea here?"
The Fairy Palace Assassin spoke in an old-fashioned tone, "On a cold night, a guest arrives, and tea serves as wine. The bamboo stove boils, and the fire glows red for the first ti. Because there are tea-making tools here and the temperature is also suitable, I like drinking tea here."
It's incredible that there are tea tools in the tavern.
The Fairy Palace Assassin said, "Under the bamboo, words forgotten over purple tea, surpasses feathered guests drunk on rosy clouds. You too can prepare tea tools at ho and drink tea with friends. Even if you run out of topics, it won't feel boring."
Ren Suo said, "I generally have snacks with tea. But if you like, I'll set up tea-making tools at ho. I'm just afraid you won't make it to my place."
In response to Ren Suo's probing, the Fairy Palace Assassin laughed heartily, "A bosom friend afar brings distant lands near. As long as we can drink tea and chat, what's the difference between your ho and the tavern?"
Ren Suo was no longer subtle and directly asked, "How exactly did you co to this tavern? What secrets does this tavern hold?"
The Fairy Palace Assassin shook his head but remained silent. No matter how Ren Suo asked, he just smiled and didn't speak, pointing with his chin towards the tavern owner who was mopping the floor, as if to suggest Ren Suo should directly ask the man in charge.
Tsk. It won't be so easy to uncover the secrets of the Mini-World Ga Console.
Since he couldn't continue the dialogue, Ren Suo didn't persist. He approached the mopping tavern owner—wondering why the owner was always mopping—and asked, "In Night of the Hunt, what are the consequences if the Apostles of the Moon God are killed?"
The apron-wearing tavern owner stopped, propping his mop up, and said, "If a person is killed, they die."
Ren Suo was montarily speechless but continued to ask, "I an, what impact does it have on the ga's narrative, achievents, and rewards?"
"Five rit Points."
After receiving the paynt, the tavern owner sat next to the Fairy Palace Assassin, picked up a cup of tea, and said while drinking, "The ga's na is Night of the Hunt. From the na alone, you know this ga encourages you to kill other competitors, and its core the is mutual hunting.
"In fact, to complete the ga and gather 25 Silver Moon Crystals, you will inevitably clash with other Apostles of the Moon God. After all, gathering all the Silver Moon Crystals might allow one to beco a deity. Faced with such a great temptation, there are definitely Apostles of the Moon God willing to bloody their hands and dirty them.
"The competition also cos in two forms. One is to strive for gathering Silver Moon Crystals; the other is to minimize the number of other Apostles of the Moon God. The fewer people, the greater one's own odds of Victory. Because of features such as Masked Sleep and character tags, the Apostles of the Moon God are well aware that others have the opportunity and strength to turn the tables.
"So, if there's an opportunity to utterly defeat other Apostles of the Moon God—regardless of whether they are currently in contention or if there are any grudges between them—it's a naturally justified act.
"Among these, if at the ga's completion only the Player remains from the Apostles of the Moon God, or if no Apostles of the Moon God die, the Player can obtain different achievents."
Ren Suo curled his lips, complaining, I could have guessed all this…
Just when Ren Suo felt he might have wasted five rit Points, the tavern owner put down his teacup and stood up to continue mopping.
"The tavern owner, having received a substantial tip, quietly tells you: 'If no Apostles of the Moon God die during the ga, the ga difficulty can be lowered.'"
