T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 11.11. The European Emperor, Inhuman

The sense of pressure a unit with a lit health bar and one without a lit health bar create are different.

No matter how sophisticated a character is, the moment your health bar lights up, the option to "take you down" will automatically pop into a player's mind, even if you're on their side.

There are quite a few players who take action to kill others simply because they want to "kill you and see what happens."

In Proof of the Stars, none of the monsters have health bars, and attacks do not display damage numbers. You can only obtain information by observing the monster's reaction after being hit, and then adjust your strategy accordingly.

With kill records, the werewolf is no different from having a health bar displayed in everyone's eyes.

The Ghost Nun, so far, has shown that her strength is not even as great as the werewolf's.

Adhering to the principle of helping those in a disadvantaged position, the original flavor fries held a long knife with both hands, raising it high above his head.

Enchanted with a light-attribute potion, it burns away shield magic and slams down.

Embracing the original French fries' fearless, life-or-death fighting style, it's a do-or-die attack with no regard for retreat.

The dimly lit square ruins were illuminated as brightly as day, like the rising sun.

Distracted from observing the ghost nun, the werewolf only intended to block the blade of the original flavor fries with one hand. The terrifying force from its palm pressed down on its center of gravity, causing the ground beneath its feet to shatter inch by inch. The horrifying force dissipated, and the rubble turned into dust.

The original flavor fries made a successful attack and then escaped.

The werewolf's furious roar tore through the dust and mist. In the instant its powerful lower limbs made a leaping motion, a fireball descended from the sky, striking its head precisely. The scattered sparks quickly ignited its thick fur.

As the werewolf thrashed about trying to extinguish the fire, Jiang Heyi's dagger pierced its pupils with pinpoint accuracy, and blood mist spurted out.

Unlike their first meeting, this time, the werewolf suffered a severe blow in just one encounter. Its pride and power, its explosive force, were rendered useless, and it became blind.

Orange Tea, who was in charge of providing support, was in a flurry of activity when she suddenly realized that the battle was already over before she had even done anything.

"Wasn't that too much force?" Zhong Zemo asked warily, watching the nun floating in mid-air. "Shouldn't we have let them both weaken each other before making our move?"

Plain Fries wiped the dust off his face and nonchalantly tidied his messy hair.

"It doesn't matter, just cut her down too."

The werewolf collapsed to the ground with a thud as soon as he finished speaking.

The nun, barely maintaining her ethereal form, let out a long, drawn-out sigh.

Without a word, Jiang Heyi sensed the vicissitudes and relief in the voice.

The nun turned her head, as if "watching" the uninvited guests who had barged in, allowing Jiang Heyi to see her face clearly.

Beneath her low-hanging hair was an unusually young face, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Her beautiful face seemed to embody the artist's craftsmanship, with every angle meticulously sculpted.

Unfortunately, the eye sockets that should have been inlaid with two sparkling gems are now empty.

The delicate lips were tightly sewn together with fine silk threads.

One ear has disappeared.

Beneath the long robe, bright red, illusory blood dripped from the arms and legs, falling to the ground and dissipating like bubbles.

"Do you like nuns like this too?" Zhong Zemo asked the jailer jokingly.

"Full of blasphemy, perfect score."

The original-flavor fries seemed to have guessed this would be the answer, and the "pervert" they had been preparing for paused before swallowing it.

He might get angry if you call someone a pervert.

But if it were a prison guard, he would see it as a form of recognition.

Why would a social terrorist care about being called a pervert?
With the werewolf dying and the nun weakening, the situation suddenly became very delicate.

Jiang Heyi didn't sense any malice from the nun. She didn't attack or speak; she just stared at them with empty eyes.

The nun was bleeding profusely, but she didn't seem to care.

Having just acted impulsively and taken a risk, Jiang Heyi's team regained their composure and chose to remain calm and wait for the right opportunity.

After a long stalemate, the original-flavor fries started rubbing their palms together, their hands itching with desire.

Light-attribute potions are expensive; we need to cut some prices to recoup our costs.

Zhong Zemo also suggested simply stabbing the nun in the back, performing a physical exorcism, and incidentally generating some underworld gold coins...

The ghost nun suddenly moved, drifting unsteadily towards a corner of the square. From the ruins formed by the collapsed statues and stone tables, a cube-shaped crystal the size of a fingernail was pulled up.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Heyi and the others' apprehension, she tossed the crystal to the ground from a distance, uttered the word "map," and then floated up into the distance.

Jiang Heyi picked up the crystal, and a dazzling array of images and text flashed through her mind.

He immediately brought up the map panel, and a dazzling golden light shone in the darkness that should have been shrouded in mist. The flames, full of holy aura, outlined the entirety of this underground ruin.

【The Underground Temple of the Clarity】

Jiang Heyi, who had always felt lost about where she was and where she should go, suddenly had a breakthrough.

He looked up and found that the ghost nun's spirit was disintegrating.

"Please, lift my curse."

As she uttered those words, blood welled up in the nun's eyes.

"How do you solve it?"

"Find my body..."

Where on the map is it?

"..."

The nun tried very hard to say something, but her voice broke into incomprehensible notes the moment it left her lips.

Her neck seemed to be suddenly gripped by a pair of large hands, slowly twisted like a bottle cap until a series of crisp "click" sounds rang out, and her head was completely separated from her body.

After the nun disappeared, even the most talkative jailer fell silent for a long time.

Although everything could be attributed to the game's visual effects, the perfect immersion made it difficult for them to shake off the atmosphere they had just experienced.

For some reason, for a moment, they felt that... everything here had actually happened.

An absurd idea.

"Holy crap, I got gold!"

The jailer's voice brought their immersive experience to an end; their attention had been focused on the nun, and they had completely forgotten that the second werewolf was dead.

"Isn't it rainbow-colored?" Orange Tea said with a hint of disappointment. Even with a drop just below rainbow-colored, it was still a cause for sighing; the luckiest people were truly inhumane.

"Orange tea, bring it on!"

Having understood her mission, Orange Tea let go of her inhibitions and shouted as she touched the orb of light, "Please give us the best!"

The light shone brightly, gradually engulfing the orange tea.

The floating item description text startled everyone.

【Starry Sky Jade】

It can be used 3 times, after which it will be completely destroyed.

Orange Tea was puzzled: "Can this be used?"

"..."

"..."

The plain fries silently placed their hands on the orange tea.

After obtaining permission, Zhong Zemo and the prison guard took Orange Tea's hand and held her shoulder.

"What...are you doing?"

"Don't worry about it, it's just a bit of metaphysics, trying to get some good luck."

Jiang Heyi asked curiously, "Are you always this...lucky in your life?"

Orange Tea shook her head: "I've never felt like I'm very lucky."

This response was tacitly understood by everyone as a difference in perception between lucky and unlucky players. After all, lucky players might think that not getting two or three yolks in a gacha pull is just bad luck.

With their energy fully charged, the Starry Sky Gem, which can be used three times, allows the team to return to Windpod City without taking any damage to resupply, which will be of great help for the upcoming exploration.

After confirming that it was safe to be around, the group found one of the few intact stone tables in the ruins and sat down to summarize the information they had gathered in this round.

First, there was the map, which Jiang Heyi shared with everyone through the team.

This area, called the [Clarity Underground Temple], has only one level, but it is far smaller than the area the team has explored so far.

Directly in front of them, the seemingly impassable cave still extends on the map, beyond which lies a much more open space than the plaza they are currently in.

Regarding the "Clarifiers," they currently do not know exactly what kind of organization it is, but they speculate that the Ghost Nun is a member of it.

The ghost nun's cause of death is unknown. If the image she presented to everyone was the image she had before her death, combined with her attempt to reveal her location but being crushed by an unknown force, and her own mention of a "curse"...

"Wow, we've only been playing this game for a short time, and we're already seeing top-tier magicians or even gods from the game's world?" the jailer exclaimed in amazement.

Jiang Heyi saw the original flavor fries' slightly narrowed eyes and immediately became her mouth substitute.

"Stop saying things that are out of place. We are not in the game world right now. We are in the game now. We are a member of this game. We should become legends in this world and be recorded in history as heroes."

"Sorry, I'm used to it." The jailer readily complied and sat up straight.

"What is the item description of the gem that contains map information?" Zhong Zemo asked.

"A crystal that stores important information for those who believe in the Boundless Sea."

Finding, piecing together, and combining information to extract details from game item descriptions is also a crucial step.

Where is the nun's body?

Orange Tea kept manipulating the map projection, zooming in and out, trying to find some clues.

Without any warning, it's impossible to dig up the entire area, which is so large.
Orange Tea, who had never played games much before, was completely immersed and enjoying herself. Now, she just wanted to start the next thrilling adventure as soon as possible.

Although they still have some differences in their communication styles with the rest of the team, the atmosphere of this group of people joking and bickering is really interesting.

Thinking of this, Orange Tea couldn't help but smile.

When she came to her senses, she found herself the center of everyone's attention.

"Again, what happened again?"

"There was a hint."

After a moment of stunned silence, Orange Tea's eyes lit up: "You guys found it? That's amazing! Where is it? Where is it?"

"..."

"..."

"You mean, unknown revelations?"

The unknown revelation of orange tea is different from the unknown revelation of other believers, and people are gradually coming to believe this.

"It's just a coincidence, nothing more. Don't believe in metaphysics."

"Young lady, please pray." Zhong Zemo finally couldn't help but reveal his identity as a former Viet Cong.

"Relying too much on metaphysics might backfire; we should focus on finding clues more seriously..."

Despite saying that, Orange Tea still began casting the spell.

"O unknown being existing in chaos, I beg you to hear my voice and grant me the power to dispel the fog and glimpse the truth."

She clasped her hands together and waited for a reply.

"how?"

"The voice said, 'Entrance to the underground temple, collapsed earth and rocks, magic-suppressing stone slabs.'"

The voice of this revelation was clearer than ever before, and Orange Tea believed it must be a "bewitching voice".

……

……

They took turns digging, continuously casting earth elemental magic.

Jiang Heyi and his group, having cleared the entrance to the buried underground temple, spent the entire night digging deep into the ground, removing the collapsed rubble.

The moment the magic-suppressing stone slab, powerful enough to prevent the jailer from using magic, was exposed from the soil, Orange Tea fell silent in the face of everyone's burning gazes.

　After repeated private chats with group members, Seal truly realized his mistake of updating too infrequently and infrequently.

　　Starting tomorrow, there will be two updates per day.
