Chapter 66: Chapter 52 All Things in the World

The erect middle finger kept on provoking.

Those two huge letters, rolling and dancing in front of the One-eyed Giant, seemed like special effect fonts.

Wu Xiaode was dumbstruck.

Am I this brave?

If it were a street fight, to infuriate or intimidate the opponent, I might do this.

But this is the One-eyed Giant!

Sure enough, the roar of the One-eyed Giant came from afar:

"Foolish and arrogant ants!"

It’s over.

A sense of dread sank in Wu Xiaode’s heart.

Without any surprise—

A deep red beam pierced through the mist, hitting the warhorse’s mane.

The warhorse didn’t even have time to cry out before it instantly turned into a burst of flying ashes, scattering into the mist.

Wu Xiaode landed on the ground, quickly embraced Nina, and rushed forward a few steps to stabilize.

It didn’t hit!

Incredibly—

It didn’t hit me!!!

This heaven-sent deep red beam only hit the horse’s mane and almost missed the warhorse entirely.

It didn’t hit Nina and me!

Wu Xiaode felt as if the whole world had brightened up.

Admittedly, the silent Demon Mist had no attack power, only capable of obscuring movement and creating illusions—

But the One-eyed Giant couldn’t see through it!

And there was the cave right in front!

At that moment, the mist covering the entire wall displayed a brand-new scene.

The mists gathered and replayed the scene where Wu Xiaode slapped the One-eyed Giant.

The images of Wu Xiaode and the One-eyed Giant were so lifelike, sculpted as if alive.

The slapping scene played back and forth nonstop.

They even gave the One-eyed Giant a close-up of its expression at the moment it was slapped.

—As if only that could prove how much of a failure the One-eyed Giant was.

This Demon Mist is good, but isn’t it a bit too daring...

Wu Xiaode silently thought to himself.

The cave was there!

"Your Highness, I’m going to jump," he shouted loudly.

The little girl nodded, gripping his arm tightly.

Wu Xiaode took a forceful leap forward—

The entire Void echoed with the enraged voice of the One-eyed Giant:

"You insult me? Foolish mortal, your ignorance leads you to death, and no amount of concealment can stop your fate!"

The entire world suddenly turned a complete deep red.

Wherever there was light, everything began turning to ashes.

The gigantic Corpse Mountain, enveloped in the glow of deep red, saw all flesh vanish, leaving only stark white bones.

The bones turned to ashes.

Intense pain swiftly swept over, covering every inch of his body.

Wu Xiaode struggled to shield Nina in his arms, to prevent the light from hitting her.

What kind of move is this?

Wu Xiaode didn’t know the answer, but he knew his time of death had arrived.

This move covered the entire Death Demon Cave, utterly unavoidable.

"No!"

Wu Xiaode let out a roar, his heart exploding with unprecedented ferocity.

The last moment.

He tucked Nina into his arms and lunged toward the cave, putting all his effort into throwing her into the cave without hesitation.

Subsequently, excruciating pain began to cover his whole body.

But he lay at the cave entrance, blocking the red rays.

In the moment of death, he saw Nina fall deep into the cave, away from the range of the red glow.

...I did it.

Wu Xiaode breathed a sigh of relief, grinning at Nina.

In his field of vision, the color of blood covered everything, rushing rapidly, carrying his consciousness towards the depths of darkness.

In an instant.

All light and shadows completely vanished.

Wu Xiaode opened his eyes to find he had left that mirage and returned to the hotel room.

All around was eerily silent.

The Book of the Dead fell silently open, revealing lines of ice crystal letters:

"You were killed by the One-eyed Giant’s skill: All Things in the World."

"All Things in the World:"

"Infinite Skill, covering every place the One-eyed Giant conceives; certain death, only death can block it."

Wu Xiaode held his breath as he read the passage, trembling all over.

Only death can block this move.

That is to say, actually, nothing can block it.

According to the gamers, it’s as if every possible spot on the entire computer screen was hit.

This is a full-screen attack!

There’s no way to survive...

That said, it was all thanks to the provocation by the silent Demon Mist in the first place.

If the One-eyed Giant had not been provoked, its terrifying skill would have gone unnoticed.

If I had faced the One-eyed Giant with confidence without knowing it had such a killer move...

The outcome would be self-evident.

Despite being instantly killed by that move in the mirror world, Wu Xiaode was still very excited.

"She... survived."

Wu Xiaode sat on the edge of the bed, his voice rough as he spoke.

What had just happened would have no real-world implications, it meant only one thing—

If he truly were the Great Knight Anthony, he had just managed to safely escort Nina to that cave under the attack of the One-eyed Giant.

Wu Xiaode felt like crying and laughing at the same time.

With his meager power, he had snatched someone from right under the nose of the One-eyed Giant.

This was all so absurd, yet so thrilling, that his body shook uncontrollably, and he couldn’t stop it.

At some point,

Figures began appearing gradually in the room.

Knight Anthony.

The group’s Great Mage.

The knights and mages.

Archers.

Thieves.

And Nina’s attendants.

All the spirits and Heroic Spirits gathered here, silently watching Wu Xiaode.

The Great Mage softly said, "That was remarkable..."

They quietly watched Wu Xiaode, their forms gradually fading into the Void.

Suddenly, a phantom lamp loomed out of the Void.

With a resonant "clang," stars burst and scattered into twinkling stellar fragments, and the light transformed into four blazing stars quietly appearing above Wu Xiaode’s head in the Void.

The Book of the Dead opened.

A line of icy crystal letters quietly emerged:

"In the endless river of history, has any human ever evaded successive killing strikes from the One-eyed Giant?"

"The answer is no."

"Even though it happened only in the mirror, you have helped Nina achieve this."

"To show our gratitude, the Heroic Spirits have expensed their power to grant you three powerful skills."

"They have imparted their knowledge to you."

"Moreover, they have helped you expand your Soul Power limit to ten points."

"Current Soul Power: 8/10."

"The three powerful skills are: Flame Burst, Ambush, Cross Slash."

"Be aware."

"These three skills can help elevate the level of the Demon Mist."

"Of course, you can also keep them for your own use."

"Please choose."

Wu Xiaode’s brain throbbed painfully.

The knowledge of mages, knights, thieves, priests, and archers quietly surfaced in his mind as if they had always belonged to him.

The pain was fleeting.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Wu Xiaode said, "Use all three skills to raise the level of the Demon Mist!"

Now he understood.

In front of the One-eyed Giant, the only thing he could rely on was the mist from the Death Realm—

The Demon Mist.

This ability, unique and ever-changing according to his very nature, was incredibly useful.

In front of the One-eyed Giant, all other human skills were meaningless, just passing clouds.

Only it!

It was the hope for survival!

As for the knowledge gained, it could be used to make a mark in the human world.

As the words fell,

Three streams of light flew out from Wu Xiaode, landing on the dark Wall of Sighs, slowly assimilating into the skull with a white flower planted in its eye socket.

A line of icy crystal letters subsequently appeared:

"Progress to the next level reached one-third, please continue to exert effort."

One-third?

He needed seven more skills of the same level to raise the level of the Demon Mist.

Wu Xiaode felt invigorated.

Eager for the next trip to the mirror world, he would ensure both he and Nina survived.

Suddenly,

An unexpected event unfolded before Wu Xiaode’s eyes.

On the pages of the Book of the Dead, all the icy crystal letters quickly vanished, replaced by lines of dark, burning letters:

"You have reached the 10-point limit of Soul Power."

"Every faction will face its limit at this juncture."

"The Book of the Dead is a rare power of the Death Realm."

"Your faction confirmed as: Death Realm."

"Please be prepared, it’s about to begin..."

The dark fiery letters on the Book of the Dead all disappeared, and instead, a painting emerged.

—Like a camera focus adjusting, this painting gradually sharpened from a blur to clarity, coming into Wu Xiaode’s view.

In the painting, there was a cracked tombstone, and a skeletal claw stretched out from behind it, gently probing the blurred text on the tombstone.

"What’s happening..."

Wu Xiaode murmured.

Only to see the text on the tombstone gradually becoming clear:

"Do you wish to understand the meaning of death? Want to stand firm in the Death Realm, and show your power among the deceased?"

"War is about to begin."

Death Realm!

Wu Xiaode’s heart shook violently.

The next second, he felt a tremendous pulling force from the Void, so sudden that he was dragged into the Void without a moment to react, disappearing from sight.
