T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 16.16. Is this a magic potion?

It was a fierce battle, but much easier than expected.

If the zombie horde were replaced with shadow wolves, the first major adventure at the boundary between reality and illusion should now be entering the teleportation guidance phase.

The group temporarily retreated to the large bathhouse to rest. Although they judged that there could not be more undead creations in the Dust Cleansing Layer, no one knew what existed in the other half of the unexplored area.

Orange Tea successfully reached Lv5 in the battle just now, which is also the level of Jiang Heyi and the others.

Original flavor fries still reign supreme at level 7.

In fact, many players forget that the game has levels as they play, and some even forget that level 20 is currently the maximum level.

If it weren't for Orange Tea's excited sharing of joy, none of them would have bothered to check the panel.

In Proof of the Stars, leveling up means you gain one more point of available attribute, which can be used to equip items that have level or attribute requirements, or to learn special skills.

Jiang Heyi is inspecting the spoils of war.

Although the horde of zombies was large, there were basically no decent loot drops; [Soul Fragments] made up the vast majority.

Based on the item description, this should be the basic material for crafting necromancy-related items.

"Here are your fries."

[The Purifier's Sacrificial Dagger]

“The devout, by this means, attempt to set foot on the boundless sea.”

This is a ceremonial artifact, imbued with the sacred aura of the Clarity, possessing extraordinary effects on the undead, and is also the only purple drop in this round.

Because it is an adaptive equipment, even though the requirement to wear it is LV10, Original Fries can be equipped in advance, but the effect will be weakened accordingly.

French fries, who had already reached out to touch the ball of light, suddenly paused.

Are you not taking anything again?

All the pieces of the [Clarity] set produced in this round have been distributed, and Jiang Heyi doesn't want a single one.

After playing several games, Jiang Heyi's equipment was still the most basic white. Although his skills were quite good and his skill ceiling was extremely high, the lower limit of attributes and equipment always made the game process more comfortable.

“The game stats aren’t that important,” Jiang Heyi said with a smile. “You guys go first, you guys go first.”

After hesitating for a moment, he stopped refusing.

After resting for a while, the group set off again.

They continued along the original route, and this time there was no zombie horde to stop them, which confirmed Jiang Heyi's guess that the monsters in the temple would not repeatedly respawn.

Passing through the Temple of the Guides and walking through the Garden of the Prayer Hall, where the Pure Ones cleanse their hearts of dust, the jailer suddenly stopped and looked back at the path he had come from.

"what happened?"

“Uh…you’re not magicians, that’s a bit hard to explain.” The jailer frowned, still staring intently at the brightly lit path they had come from. “Magic is everywhere, and magicians are like fish in the water. Just now…I felt the current was a bit turbulent.”

"We haven't seen anything along the way," Zhong Zemo said, but still walked up to the prison guard.

“Unknown revelation,” Jiang Heyi said.

When in doubt, drink orange tea.

"no respond."

No response is the norm for unknown revelations, and the fact that the orange tea has only triggered one unsuccessful effect so far is already incredibly lucky.

"The current is very strong." The prison guard, who had been sensing the situation with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. "They're here, rushing towards us..."

"Oh!"

Zhong Zemo's giant shield was struck by an unseen behemoth, denting and cracking. He was also thrown into the air by the force, and his giant shield dissipated into blue light particles in mid-air.

This effect occurs when equipment is worn to its limit and can no longer be worn.

One blow and it's broken.

Zhong Zemo knocked down the prison guard, leaving a "scar" amidst the colorful sea of ​​flowers in the garden.

In the critical moment, Orange Tea released a blessing shield to protect the two. Seeing the two flying towards him, he subconsciously tried to catch them with his bare hands, but was hit squarely and rolled around in a heap.

The dizzy prison guard shouted, "There's something strange!"

Jiang Heyi knew there was something strange, but where was it?

The original-flavored fries switched to the newly acquired sacrificial dagger and took a deep breath: "Now that I look at it, this place is a bit like..."

"It's like accidentally stumbling into the boss room, right?" Faced with an enemy that was completely invisible, Jiang Heyi was also very nervous and could only relieve some of the pressure by talking.

This is the middle section between the Great Bath of the Temple of the Guides in the Dust Layer and the Hall of Prayers. Perhaps to provide a place for those who have bathed to get close to nature and relax, this open courtyard is planted with countless flowers, and the four corners of the walls are shaded by green trees.

Colorful flowers bloom in profusion here, and at each of the four corners of the courtyard, where hundreds of flowers compete for beauty, there is a resting place with a stone table.

Upon arriving, they couldn't help but marvel at the wonderful "working environment" of the Clarity Ones. Having experienced the previous battle against the zombie horde, witnessing the scenery here made them feel that their bodies and minds had been healed.

"I feel..."

"clang!"

Before the original-flavor fries could finish speaking, the sacrificial dagger he instinctively raised came into close contact with an unseen enemy.

Completely subconscious, Plain Fries' body reacted first, as if a voice was telling her that danger was imminent.

In her haste, she was unable to resist and was sent flying by the strange force.

The jailer, struggling to his feet, once again played the role of the key man, precisely providing her with a shield the moment the original flavor fries took off.

This monster moves swiftly through this sea of ​​flowers, creating enough wind to make the flowers sway and petals flutter. So why did the original flavor fries only create a whirlwind at the last moment of contact when it was attacked?

What are they fighting?
"The magic is becoming disordered again; its actions are causing the magic to become unstable..."

"I'm a martial artist, you're talking to me about magic, I can't sense it!" "The Unknown Revelation is working again, I'll use it again..."

The orange tea was like a chick, suddenly lifted into the air, and then, a burst of blood mist.

A crimson rain fell heavily on the sea of ​​flowers in the courtyard.

Flavored orange tea, defeated.

As she recovered from her dizziness, Plain Fries seemed to realize something and shouted at Jiang Heyi, "It's real..."

A pair of invisible hands slapped the belly of the original flavor fries, carrying her all the way to the distant wall.

After a dull thud, only a blood-soaked "corpse" remained.

Plain fries, dead.

Dying here seems to prevent her from sending messages to her companions, so it's unclear what she was trying to say.

In the blink of an eye, the jailer was also pierced through the body by the attack from above, becoming the third person to die.

In just a short while, only Jiang Heyi and Zhong Zemo remained alive in the team.

"Wait...why haven't I been attacked yet?"

The chaotic mind calmed down the instant the question arose.

Jiang Heyi murmured to himself, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, and brought up the control panel. Then, he sent a message in the information bar.

"Do not move."

Zhong Zemo was bewildered by the series of unexpected events, causing his mind to go blank for a moment. After regaining his senses, he saw the words floating above Jiang Heyi's head and instantly understood.

"It only has dynamic vision?"

"Maybe."

"But the jailer didn't move just now."

"Do you remember what the jailer said?"

"Traces of magic flow... This guy is extremely sensitive to magic!"

"What do we do next? We can't just stay still, can we?" Zhong Zemo said. "Moving will kill us, but staying still is no different from dying."

"First, we need to find a way to see its physical form," Jiang Heyi sent a message. "French Fries probably wanted to tell me before she died that she saw the monster's physical form, and that it wasn't an invisible thing."

"What do you think?"

“Light.” Jiang Heyi concluded, “French Fries blocked the attack with the Clear One’s sacrificial dagger, and the dagger itself has the attribute of light… that’s most likely it.”

"In that case, I'll distract it." Zhong Zemo took a deep breath. "Give it a good beating with gold coins!"

Jiang Heyi took out a special potion, which he had purchased from the witch who sold inferior fire potions.

[Unstable Combustion Agent], Attribute: Light

"The creator of the formula was not thinking about combustion, but about explosion. Whether it can be classified as a potion depends on the 'ambition' of the apothecary."

The witch selling the potion confidently proclaimed that this potion contained enough "ambition" to be her masterpiece.

After Jiang Heyi disdainfully put the potion back on the stall, the witch's expression changed instantly. She begged him to buy one to try, after all, it was a rare light magic potion...

Recalling her drastic change in behavior... Jiang Heyi couldn't help but mentally complain.

"What a disgraceful witch."

Hopefully, potions aren't shameful.

He entered the information.

"Start counting down."

"three…"

"two…"

"One!" Jiang Heyi shouted.

Almost instantly, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being secretly watched by a wild beast in the jungle, and a strong sense of unease spread through his body like an electric current.

It came quickly and went quickly; the chill disappeared the moment Zhong Zemo started running.

Jiang Heyi dared not delay and prepared all the magic potions he had bought from that witch.

Zhong Zemo's body was restrained by an invisible force, and he suddenly "rose" into the air.

With the monster's location revealed, Jiang Heyi threw out the Shameful Witch's [Unstable Combustion Potion].

He wanted to see why this combustion agent was light-based.

If it doesn't work, even if you're a cute NPC, I'll still turn your place upside down!
The unstable combustible agent spun in mid-air, and the mercury-like liquid in the bottle churned and swayed violently.

Zhong Zemo exploded into a blood mist, and the glass bottle also released a blinding white light at that moment.

Light, like mercury spilling across the ground, filled every corner of the atrium.

In an instant, Jiang Heyi saw the full appearance of the unseen demon hidden in the void.

next second...

The massive shockwave from the explosion knocked Jiang Heyi, who was ten meters away from the monster, into the air and threw him far away.

"Holy crap... this is a magic potion?"
