The Goddess of Holy Light Ge Wei's combat power far exceeded Jiang Qiao's expectations. She did not disappoint her light armor and longsword attire.
As the Goddess of Holy Light, she was able to fight the Dead King back and forth. Jiang Qiao even suspected that she did not need to use a substitute to kill the Dead King.
However, this was also because the difficulty of the Instance Dungeon had been slightly lowered by the Path of Ascension.
But it was very difficult. Jiang Qiao could see that Ge Wei's mana was very low. The power of holy light that she could control was far less than that of the Dead King.
Ge Wei had extremely strong combat skills and destructive power, but she could not fully utilize them.
In this situation, it was Zhao Mingwei's turn.
Zhao Mingwei was restraining his strength. He was acting like he was playing along to make his boss happy. He was trying his best not to show off his abilities.
Everything he did was to make his boss feel comfortable.
As a Master player, Zhao Mingwei treated the Qi Practitioner as a support class. He gave the Goddess of Holy Light the two major buffs, the Breath of Wind and the Radiance of the Sun.
Under Zhao Mingwei's cover, the Goddess of Holy Light swung the silver holy sword in her hand to cut off the Death King's aura, continuously reducing the Dead King's HP.
Zhao Mingwei was responsible for cleaning up the Undead army summoned by the Dead King, so that these monsters would not disturb the duel between the Goddess of Holy Light and the Dead King. Occasionally, when the Goddess of Holy Light received a fatal attack from the Dead King, Zhao Mingwei would activate his Qi Barrier to block it.
The role of a Qi Practitioner was originally to protect teammates. It was just that in Zhao Mingwei's hands, it became a damage output position. Zhao Mingwei had now proven that he could also play a very good role as a protection.
Any team with a Qi Practitioner like Zhao Mingwei would have a much higher tolerance for mistakes.
However, no matter how good Zhao Mingwei's support was, the Goddess of Holy Light's mana was too low. After reducing the Dead King's HP to less than half, she felt that the power of holy light in her body was almost depleted.
This made her decide to go all out. She planned to directly attack the Dead King's core and end this damned undead!
"Die!
Evil! "
Just as the Goddess of Holy Light poured all of her power into the silver holy sword, ready to pierce through the King of Death's core … Zhao Mingwei suddenly grabbed the collar of her light armor.
In the end, before the Goddess of Holy Light could stab out with her sword, she was yanked from behind by Zhao Mingwei like a rabbit whose ears had been grabbed.
"Holy Spirit!
What are you doing! "
In this half an hour of battle, the Goddess of Holy Light's original impression of Zhao Mingwei had somewhat changed. She felt that he was a decent assistant!
However, just as she was about to kill the King of Death, Zhao Mingwei sneak-attacked her from behind. This made her so angry that she almost used the silver holy sword in her hand to slash Zhao Mingwei.
Zhao Mingwei did not respond. He threw the Goddess of Holy Light down a slope on the other side of the graveyard. At the same time, he used Teleport Step to roll down the slope.
"Holy Spirit!"
The Goddess of Holy Light could no longer hold back her anger. She reached out and grabbed Zhao Mingwei's collar. However, Zhao Mingwei also grabbed the cloth under her light armor and pulled her down, causing her to sit on the ground.
Almost at the same time, the King of Death, Neet, let out a terrifying roar. This roar was accompanied by the explosion of the aura of death that spread throughout the entire dungeon. With the King of Death as the center, the area was completely razed to the ground by the aura of death.
This power was no less than a small nuclear explosion. Zhao Mingwei could not defend against the second stage of the boss's transformation, and the Goddess of Holy Light could not either. If she did not dodge, only death would await her.
However, the Goddess of Holy Light knew that the King of Death had accumulated a terrifying amount of power in his body. She had to kill him before he unleashed it. Otherwise … she felt that she could not win at all.
"It's over."
The Goddess of Holy Light finally let go of Zhao Mingwei's collar. She looked at her silver holy sword, which had completely dimmed. "This is my limit, Holy Spirit. If you're really that afraid of death, leave this place quickly. If that undead creature catches you, it won't kill you so easily."
"Want some?"
At this time, Zhao Mingwei handed the Goddess of Holy Light a bottle of drink. This bottle of drink was magic juice made by Lazy. Magic juice had a certain mana recovery effect, but this bottle of magic juice did not have an obvious effect on the divine power of the Goddess of Holy Light.
As long as it was not a recovery potion produced by the system, it could be given to an NPC. This was something that Lazy had already tested.
"Do you even care about this trial?!"
The Goddess of Holy Light seemed to be on the verge of collapse. On the slope, Neet's Death Realm was still ongoing. They still had ten or twenty seconds to chat.
"Of course I do. You're my client. My duty is to help you pass this trial."
Zhao Mingwei opened the bottle of Mana Juice and handed it back to the Goddess of Holy Light. "But I'm curious. Why aren't you willing to heal the soldiers of the Annihilation Army?"
Zhao Mingwei was not White Emperor. White Emperor was naive. Zhao Mingwei looked naive on the surface, but he was actually very shrewd.
He knew that he was not fighting this dungeon to clear it. He was fighting to earn the Goddess of Holy Light's favor.
In that case, he would have to slow down the pace of the dungeon and find a topic to chat with the Goddess of Holy Light.
Zhao Mingwei was not good with words, but it seemed like a good idea to start by understanding the Goddess of Holy Light.
However … Zhao Mingwei's straightforward method of clearing the dungeon made Jiang Qiao so anxious that he almost pasted a bunch of preset dialogue on Zhao Mingwei's face.
"I don't want to answer that question."
Zhao Mingwei's words seemed to agitate the Goddess of Holy Light, who was on the verge of collapse. She really valued this trial of the Path of Ascension!
But in the end, she found Zhao Mingwei, a lazy bum who would make a bunch of requests that would drag her down.
"Has your world been invaded by the Annihilation Army as well?"
But Zhao Mingwei's next words caused the Goddess of Holy Light's anger to instantly vanish. Or rather, she froze in place and sat down on the muddy ground as if she had completely given up.
"It has been destroyed."
The Goddess of Holy Light looked at the silver holy sword in her hand, which reflected her gloomy face. "My past world has been destroyed by the Annihilation Army. My worshippers and children have all been slaughtered by them, and my world has been torn apart. Only a small number of survivors are left, and now I can only rely on the aid of the Sanctuary of Order to maintain the lives of my surviving worshippers … So I must win."
As the Goddess of Holy Light spoke, her hand that had been wiping the blade gripped the blade, and pale golden blood seeped out from her palm.
"Is that so?"
"You might not be able to understand, Holy Spirit … My power has been used up. While that evil has not found you … Hey!"
The Goddess of Holy Light suddenly came to her senses and discovered that Zhao Mingwei had already jumped up the slope. The Lord of Death, Neet, had found Zhao Mingwei in an instant, and the aura of death heavily enveloped Zhao Mingwei.
"I apologize for letting you heal the Annihilation Army before," Zhao Mingwei said to the Goddess of Holy Light as he turned around.
"What's the point of apologizing now?"
She shouted, but it was already too late. The pitch-black aura of death had already completely enveloped Zhao Mingwei's body.
"I haven't seen you in a long time, last descendant of the God Eater. Let me hear your cries of pain!"
The aura of death formed Neet's three-meter-tall body. Its entire body seemed to be a combination of countless skeletons.
But Zhao Mingwei's cries of pain did not come from within the black mist. Instead, it was replaced by the roar of a lion that resounded through the heavens and earth!
A blinding golden light tore through the black mist that had swallowed Zhao Mingwei, and a giant lion that flashed with lightning and spiritual energy now stood behind Zhao Mingwei!
Judge, Golden Thunder Tiger!
Compared to when Zhao Mingwei had first obtained it, the Golden Lightning Tiger had doubled in size. Originally, it was three meters long, but now, it was six meters long.
Zhao Mingwei … had become stronger again!
Jiang Qiao believed that the most direct reason was that the upper limit of the players' levels had increased. The shackles that had originally restricted Zhao Mingwei's growth had been broken, and the spiritual energy he could control had naturally increased by several times.
It was the upper limit … that had restricted Zhao Mingwei's growth.
"This … this is …" The Goddess of Holy Light did not expect Zhao Mingwei to be able to break through the Lord of Death's deathly miasma.
However, the God Eater's power itself was the power to destroy everything, and Zhao Mingwei's spiritual energy was a monster that utilized this power to the extreme.
The Lord of Death, Neet, did not feel any fear when he saw Zhao Mingwei's Golden Thunder Tiger. Instead, he laughed in satisfaction.
"You have the right to be my opponent!"
"Thank you," Zhao Mingwei thanked the Undying politely.
The King of Death let out another terrifying roar. Then, he brandished the giant bone blade in his hand and clashed with Zhao Mingwei's Golden Thunder Tiger.
The deathly miasma and Zhao Mingwei's spiritual energy collided and intertwined in the graveyard.
As a Lord-tier creature, the Dead King had a total of 2,700,000 HP. It also had a powerful regeneration ability and a skill that ignored all Defense.
It would not be an exaggeration to place him in a 45-man dungeon. However, he was a solo Boss, which was why the players rated the Lord of Death as one of the most difficult Bosses below the Regulator difficulty.
However, it was not difficult for Zhao Mingwei. The Lord of Death's enormous size was a burden to him.
Under the cover of the Golden Thunder Tiger, Zhao Mingwei accurately attacked the Lord of Death's core, the invader from the Annihilation Army that he had devoured and controlled.
After nearly seven minutes, the Golden Thunder Tiger disappeared. However, the Ferocious Tiger that was released by Ferocious Tiger Shakes the Earth pinned the Lord of Death to the ground.
Zhao Mingwei punched the Annihilation Army invader in the chest.
"Break!"
The punch was imbued with the power of the Ferocious Tiger. A violent torrent of spiritual energy was released at the same time, and the Lord of Death's remaining 100,000 HP was instantly wiped out.
The azure spiritual energy rushed into the sky and tore apart the dark clouds. As the Lord of Death turned into a faint light and disappeared, the sun shone into the gloomy graveyard.
"Congratulations on clearing the stage," Zhao Mingwei said as he looked at the Goddess of Holy Light, who was staring blankly from afar.
"I … Thank you … Holy Spirit, what's … your name?
I remember they have a system for praising … "
The Goddess of Holy Light immediately realized that she had passed the trial. In other words, she was about to be teleported out.
Before she was teleported out, she did not even know the name of the Holy Spirit that had helped her.
"Praising?
You don't have to. Just look for me again next time. My ID is Happy Game. "Zhao Mingwei was still very concerned about whether the Goddess of Holy Light could heal someone who had been beaten half to death.
"Happy Game …" The Goddess of Holy Light muttered the strange name of Zhao Mingwei. However, when Zhao Mingwei said to look for him again next time, a conflicted expression appeared on her face.
"Then, you should be able to find an intermediary over there, right?
If I see a quest, I'll accept it. Or is there something about me that you're not satisfied with? "
Zhao Mingwei seemed to have misunderstood the conflicted expression on the Goddess of Holy Light's face.
Not satisfied?
There had been a lot of dissatisfaction from the beginning, but now, even if there were ten million more dissatisfaction, Zhao Mingwei had made up for it with his reliable strength.
This was a person who gave him a chance to absolutely get a C +. Who wouldn't like this kind of person?
But …
"That's not what I mean. My next Path of Ascension might be in fifteen days." The Goddess of Holy Light sounded a little disappointed.
"Why?
Can't you continue the challenge now?
I'll stay online, "Zhao Mingwei said.
"Well … Well …" The Goddess of Holy Light showed a rare shyness at this moment, but she quickly restrained her embarrassment. "I don't have that many Divine Crystals. I'm planning to accept some quests from the Sanctums and the Pantheon Alliance to earn Divine Crystals. The earliest I can earn is in fifteen days … the money for hiring someone to train me."
'So she's a poor girl?'
As Jiang Qiao listened, an image suddenly appeared in his mind … A young mother with hundreds of children to support, and a young sister who had to go out and work every day to support her family?
"Is this enough?" Zhao Mingwei suddenly took out five hundred Divine Crystals from his backpack.
'Oh!
Master Xiao is awesome! '
Jiang Qiao gave Zhao Mingwei a thumbs up at that moment.
"Wh … What?" The Goddess of Holy Light was confused.
"Divine Crystals. I don't need them. Take these Divine Crystals and find an intermediary to hire me," Zhao Mingwei said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"How … How can I do that?
Absolutely not!
Holy Spirit, I don't owe you anything, and I don't want to owe you anything. "
The Goddess of Holy Light shook her head resolutely. The person being hired just threw money at the employer and said … Use this money to hire him?
What the hell is this!?
It seemed that the Goddess of Holy Light wasn't someone who would accept handouts.
"Fine." Zhao Mingwei could also see that the Goddess of Holy Light wouldn't accept this kind of help.
"Anyway, thank you, Holy Spirit. If there's a chance in fifteen days, I'll see you again."
When the Goddess of Holy Light said goodbye to Zhao Mingwei, her body had already become a shadow. It seemed that she was about to be teleported out of the Path of Ascension.
"Yes, if there's a chance, I'll see you again." The moment Zhao Mingwei said this, the Goddess of Holy Light felt something thrown at her.
The Goddess of Holy Light caught the object thrown at her, but when she looked down, she saw that it was the Divine Crystals that Zhao Mingwei had wanted to give her.
"Holy Spirit, you!"
The Goddess of Holy Light didn't even have time to return the Divine Crystals to Zhao Mingwei before she was teleported out of the Path of Ascension.
'Quite capable!'
After watching the whole fight, Jiang Qiao gave Zhao Mingwei a five-star rating.
