T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

"A real man goes head-to-head with waves, and you actually managed to beat a butterfly? Holy crap!"

The boundary between reality and virtuality is unthinkable. With map-wide attacks overhead and insect swarms looming overhead, how are we supposed to play this game?

This is no longer a critical instance; it's practically a preview of an apocalyptic instance.

The three NPCs who had recovered their strength joined the battle, but they only slowed down the speed at which the swarm of insects advanced to the group.

The Silver Maple Holy Radiance, which lasted once a minute, only gave them a chance to catch their breath; it was far from enough to allow them to push back and defeat the woman.

The only good news is that the men really don't care.

At this point, if they were subjected to even a little mental interference, they would be doomed to lose.

Jiang Heyi killed a beetle, half the height of a person, that charged at him with a single sword stroke—they were starting to grow larger and larger.

Although there are only three types of insects, they have begun to evolve accordingly through battles and deaths.

"Tea Master, is the summons coming?"

"The flesh-and-blood chariot still hasn't responded."

In the moment of Jiang Heyi's distress, a thought crept into her mind.

"Hey jailer, stop the explosion, stop the firecrackers, give me your mimicry flesh and blood."

"Instead of enhancing Tide Summoning and Spatial Slash, why not enhance my walking corpse instead!"

"I don't want to enhance, I want to summon!"

"Summon what? Besides chariots, what else?"

Jiang Heyi took the summonable coal doll.

"Flesh Priest, please answer the call."

The flesh priestess in nun form landed gracefully, instantly capturing the attention of the spectators.

"It's my new wife!"

The flesh priest already knew the reason for his descent, and without saying a word, he split himself in two along the central axis of his body.

With a single, gaping maw, the dense swarm of insects before it was swallowed whole.

"Holy crap, I want a divorce!"

Love comes quickly and goes quickly.

The Flesh Priestess is a special summon that grows stronger by devouring other creatures. The constant swarms of insects serve as her food, allowing her to stack up her attributes.

"If I could, I'd like to eat something better. Insects... they're disgusting."

They even picked flesh and blood summons!

It's still not enough. The swarm is evolving, and the flesh priest's rate of devouring and strengthening may not be able to keep up.

Furthermore, as summoned creatures, what if the swarm breaks through the defenses and kills them first while they are holding the puppets?

Playing with the doll and watching his comrades fighting to the death, Jiang Heyi had a headache.

"what?"

To better utilize the puppets, he held Coal Ball No. 1, which could release an artificial sun, and Coal Ball No. 3, which could be summoned, in his right hand.

But while playing with it...

How did it turn into a double-egg gas tank?!

Looking at the two coal briquettes in front of him, Jiang Heyi glanced at the lone coal briquette No. 2 on his left.

"Could it be...?"

Coal briquette #2 was gently kneaded and slowly fused together with the two coal briquettes.

Amidst the billowing black mist, Jiang Heyi felt as if he had grasped a massive fireball, or perhaps the sun.

A black sun.

Chapter 495 The Teacher's Gift

A black sun, more than ten meters in diameter, rose into the air and hovered in the center of the battlefield.

It didn't have a dazzling light; instead, it swallowed the surrounding light like a black hole, with only a dark red halo around its edges.

Thick fog, continuously leaking from the dark sun, flowed across the earth, submerging everyone's feet and swallowing the swarming insects that were emitting frantic cries.

Their bodies burned slowly, their ashes vanishing with the wind and merging into the black mist.

The swarm of insects, which had surged like a tsunami to the boundary between the real and the virtual, caused the layers upon layers of "high walls" to collapse with a deafening roar.

As if sensing an extremely dangerous signal, they scrambled backward, their shells colliding and producing a series of teeth-grinding, scalp-chilling "crack" sounds.

The sky is riddled with cracks, through which the reality of the outside world can be vaguely seen.

There was no loud noise, no shockwave, only a ring of pure black ripples spreading silently.

Wherever it goes, tranquility descends.

Although the effect of the coal doll is unknown, the insect swarm has stopped.

The woman's figure also appeared after the swarm of insects.

"Don't just stand there, do it!"

The outcome hinges on this one move.

With all their cards on the table and the game now at this point, everyone's brains are overloaded, and there's no time to waste.

Coal briquette dolls are women's creations, and once women find a way to seize control, they will undoubtedly lose.

Jiang Heyi and French Fries gripped the Angry Lion and Mad Wolf tightly with their hands.

"Space Slash!"

With Jiang Heyi's Spatial Slash as the main attack, French Fries simultaneously joined forces, bringing together the Spatial Slash, which had been enhanced by the Demon-Suppressing Giant Bear and Bloodlust Frenzy, through the phantom of Mad Wolf.

This tacit understanding seemed to be shared by the team; without needing to say anything, almost everyone thought of it—even the prison guard.

This skill can be used by both magic and martial arts; the only difference is the individual strength.

In an instant, six spatial slashes were unleashed!

Mint and Renee also sensed their thoughts.

Let's do it together.

The two tacitly converged their spatial attacks at the same time.

Since a woman can easily block a single spatial slash, let's use the simplest method.

Their skills have reached their maximum power, so let's stack them up for an instant burst.

With great force, bricks fly; let's attack together!

Jiang Heyi's raging lion phantom and French fries' mad wolf phantom roared simultaneously, the two beastly shadows entangled and howled the moment they leaped out.

The calls were cheerful.

Jiang Heyi then remembered that when Kurien first handed over the weapons to them, he seemed to have said that the two weapons could resonate with each other.

The ground of the battlefield was plowed with deep trenches by the energy dissipated from the spatial slash.

The entire space was like a mirror struck by a heavy hammer, instantly bursting open with countless spiderweb-like cracks.

A torrent of dark magical energy surged from the crack, distorting everything in its path.

The woman seemed to be preparing a large-scale ritual magic, but suddenly she withdrew her magic.

She gazed at the intertwined phantoms of a lion and a wolf, her aggressive magic transforming into a barrier.

"Hey!"

The magical shield in front of the woman shattered like an eggshell, and the intertwined vines could not stop the spatial slash in the slightest.

A thin black line suddenly appeared across the entire forest behind her, piercing the heavens and the earth. The moment the spatial slash struck her body, the world seemed to be reduced to only black and white.

Meanwhile, the flesh priest, who was enjoying the insect corpses, teleported and arrived next to the woman right after the spatial slash, and took a big bite of...mycelium.

"Ugh... This tastes awful!"

He was the best at clearing out miscellaneous soldiers, excelled at siege warfare and fishing, and even competed to be the first to eat.

Shame on flesh and blood summons!

Even a flesh-and-blood tank would be more useful than you!

Meanwhile, under the scorching heat of the black sun, the barrier the woman had created, and she herself, shattered into pieces.

Just before the spatial slash struck, her body froze, mycelium bursting from within her, all life force gone.

The man straightened up, deeply moved as he recalled the attack he had just made.

"It's a breakthrough in individual limits."

At the boundary between reality and illusion, everyone was exhausted, supporting themselves on their knees, heads held high, heavy breathing echoing around them.

The swarms of insects, the mushroom people, the rolling clouds of spores, and the towering ancient trees have all disappeared.

They returned once again to the platform deep underground, covered with fungal carpet.

It was as if everything that had just happened was just a hallucination after eating poisonous mushrooms.

Suspended above the boundary between reality and illusion, a black sun composed of three coal briquette dolls and the ever-spreading murky fog silently tell the story of reality.

"Rustle, rustle~~"

Jiang Heyi raised her head in despair.

The woman, who had disintegrated into fungal dust and should have been dead beyond any doubt, suddenly glowed and returned to normal in an instant.

Are we going to stop playing or not?

She turned to look at the man.

"You told them the skills."

The man crossed his arms, remaining noncommittal.

"Without fully triggering the magic of the three coal balls, they cannot be fused together."

The man finally reacted.

"They are your new students. Tests can be games, but don't treat them like your new toys."

"I'm very sensible. They have the ability to pass the highest level of tests. You've seen that potential, haven't you!"

"So, did it pass?"

The woman was taken aback.

"Even without my assistance, they have managed to stay in your field for so long, and yet they still don't deserve your praise?"

"I did everything in my power to break through your defenses and kill you once, isn't that enough?"

"Don't be too harsh. You said that you should be gentle with children."

The woman's lips curled up: "This doesn't sound like something you would say."

The man fell silent for a second.

It seems that for him, saying so much in one go was already a rare occurrence.

She blushed a little at what was said and couldn't help scratching her cheek.

It seems that he felt he had really gotten hooked on the game.

The woman smiled, turned her head, and waved at the giant, black, coal-shaped sun.

It immediately resembled an obedient dog, swaying and shrinking as it fell, gradually turning into three small lumps of coal of different sizes in the woman's palm.

She waved to the people at the boundary between the real and the virtual.

Seeing that everyone looked wary, and that the Primal was still muttering dangerous things like "I'm going to blow her up," she clapped her hands lightly.

A soft, white light enveloped the group.

Breathing became smooth, physical strength was restored to normal, and even injuries improved instantly.
