Chapter 1716 1716: Absorption

Holy Light Shield!

"Boom!!"

With a dull sound, Crotch Lord was once again knocked back several meters. Thanks to the effect of the Holy Light Shield, he did not take any damage.

However, when the Holy Light Shield on Crotch Lord came into contact with the light sword in Reis's hand, it unexpectedly transformed into a beam of light and was absorbed by Reis's light sword. At the same time, a flash of golden light appeared around Reis, enveloping him within the Holy Light Shield.

"Damn!"

Seeing this scene, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were left speechless, shocked that there was such a skill as absorption.

Reis, however, mocked them with a smile, "Ignorant ants, light is a gift from the gods to you. How dare you attempt to use it to rebel against the divine? It's truly ridiculous!"

As he spoke, Reis swung his sword, and a golden sword aura shot out.

"Swish!"

The sword aura was incredibly domineering, as if it could tear through space itself, and it instantly slashed towards Crotch Lord.

Crotch Lord reacted strangely; sensing the incoming sword aura, he hurriedly rolled to the left, evading the trajectory of the attack.

But before he could stabilize himself, the sword aura suddenly curved in mid-air, bizarrely tracing an arc and flying back towards Crotch Lord.

"Damn it!!"

Crotch Lord could still endure the sword aura being sent from four or five meters away; after all, the opponent was a god-level BOSS, and small techniques like releasing fighting spirit weren't too outrageous. But the fact that the sword aura could turn was a bit too much—this had gone beyond powerful and was directly labeled as shameless.

Seeing Reis's shameless tactics, Crotch Lord felt utterly devastated.

With his roll skill already used up, there was no time to dodge now, and his shield's blocking value had also been depleted. Crotch Lord had seen Reis's attack power before, and blocking it was out of the question.

In utter helplessness, Crotch Lord had no choice but to turn and put his shield to the side, exposing his back to Reis's sword aura.

Even if a person could be revived, if the shield broke, then living wouldn't hold much meaning.

"Pfft!"

Just as Crotch Lord turned around, the sword aura pierced through his back and emerged from his chest. Crotch Lord's health bar instantly emptied, and he transformed into a speck of golden light, flying towards Reis's light sword.

Like the previous Holy Light Shield, the golden light that Crotch Lord transformed into was also completely absorbed by Reis's light sword.

"Buzz!"

After devouring the golden light created by Crotch Lord, Reis's light sword emitted a satisfied hum.

"Ha!"

Reis shouted fiercely, extending his left hand to conjure a shield that glimmered with golden light, identical in style and shape to Crotch Lord's God Shield.

"Lowly human!"

Glancing at the shield in his hand, Reis said nonchalantly, "The weapons bestowed upon you by the gods are not meant for you to oppose the divine."

"Damn it!"

Seeing Reis's methods, not just the others from Quan Zhen, but even Wang Yu was somewhat shocked.

This Reis seemed a bit too sinister.

Wang Yu had also encountered the Light God King; apart from the slightly irritating protective golden light, he was fairly standard in other aspects. But compared to the Son of the Holy Soul, this guy was clearly much more bothersome.

As a level 100 BOSS, the Son of the Holy Soul had extremely high attack power, capable of one-shotting players, but now he could even absorb the equipment and skills of his targets. How the hell were they supposed to fight back?

Not fighting back meant being instantly killed, while fighting back would only allow him to absorb your equipment and skills to strengthen himself. This was utterly insane.

"Eh?"

While Wang Yu and the others were still in shock, Fearless suddenly revealed a confused expression.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Fearless like this, the others asked in confusion.

Fearless looked at Reis with a face full of disbelief and said, "He actually can't resurrect Crotch…"

"Can't resurrect?"

Hearing Fearless's words, the Quan Zhen members exchanged worried glances, a chill creeping down their spines.

The so-called resurrection in battle meant coming back to life during combat.

As a team with a priest who could cast resurrection, the Quan Zhen members were generally fearless of death, knowing that as long as Fearless was around, they could be revived even if they died.

But now Fearless was telling them they couldn't be resurrected, and this news brought an invisible pressure upon the Quan Zhen members.

"Foolish mortals!"

Reis seemed to have noticed Fearless's confusion and said gleefully, "To become a part of the light is your honor, and you dare to try to seize the light from the hands of the gods?"

"……"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill once again.

Reis's implication was clear: after being killed by him, the absorbed power would be taken. How long that power could be used was unknown, but during that time, the absorbed players would lose their autonomy, and even their right to revive would be taken away. What kind of monster was this?

"Old Bull! This storyline is a bit difficult…"

Thinking of this, everyone began to complain, "Old Bull, you didn't offend the game designer, did you? Why are they targeting you like this?"

Everyone was elite players, and despite completing so many storyline tasks, they had never encountered such a difficult monster.

Even the hidden-class player, King of Beijing, had a storyline that was merely a two-sided task of guarding a church; Wang Yu's task was clearly set up for him to die.

And this was just the Son of the Holy Soul; there was still a Demon Lord to come, and from the name alone, one could tell that its level of perversion would surpass this guy in front of them.

Even the usually calm Fearless exclaimed, "If we get wiped out this time, Old Bull, you have to give us some mental compensation…"

The team leader is the core pillar of every team, and the leader's attitude directly affects the mindset of the players under them.

Anyone who knew Fearless understood that no matter how great the disadvantage he faced, he would remain calm and confidently command the battle. This powerful confidence often provided a special sense of security, like an invisible encouragement.

But now Fearless had even mentioned team wipe, indicating he also felt uncertain about the BOSS in front of them.

After all, this was a level 100 god-level BOSS, with nearly a 40-level disadvantage. It wasn't something a mere dozen players could handle, even with someone as fierce as Wang Yu; the hope was very slim, especially given how sinister this BOSS was.

Not to mention, just the ability to absorb players was spine-chilling—merging with data? Just thinking about it sent chills down their spines. Asking for mental compensation wouldn't be too much.

"Team wipe? You're thinking too much!" Hearing Fearless's words, Wang Yu smiled slightly, his demeanor imposing, "He's not even worthy."

"Don't be overconfident!" Fearless said darkly, "This thing can kill you in one hit. Without Crotch here, who can withstand it?"

"One hit?" Wang Yu replied lightly, "Just don't get hit by him."

"This…"

After Wang Yu said this, Fearless was momentarily speechless, "But this guy can absorb skills and equipment."
