Chapter 350 - Chapter 350 Chapter 339 Defeated Him in Seconds (2nd Update)

Chapter 350: Chapter 339: Defeated Him in Seconds! (2nd Update) Chapter 350: Chapter 339: Defeated Him in Seconds! (2nd Update) The Black Ash Knight pierced the Magic Thief’s chest with his longsword, and a massive amount of dark liquid surged from within, gripping the Magic Thief like a gigantic maw.

This scene prompted Jiang Qiao, who was seated in the spectator stands, to take harmonious measures, which included muting the anguished cries of the Magic Thief and the horrifying sounds of bones and flesh being chewed.

Fortunately, the Black Ash Knight had a comparatively refined manner of feeding, so Jiang Qiao did not need to censor the visuals of the Black Ash Knight devouring the Magic Thief.

Jiang Qiao didn’t know how to describe the manner of feeding, as the dark liquid oozed from within him and slowly devoured the pitiful Magic Thief.

The Black Ash Knight’s lost health began to rapidly regenerate, jumping from less than two hundred thousand back to seven hundred thousand!

It’s important to realize that these lost five hundred thousand health points had been exchanged for the lives of more than fifty players!

“Agent,” Queen Mei’s voice rang in Jiang Qiao’s ear, she was watching the match in the instance lord’s quarters with the other five knights, “please let us intervene to calm down… General Black Ash’s anger, relying solely on the saints to battle him alone, is it… a bit too risky?”

“Risky…”

Hearing Queen Mei’s concerned tone, Jiang Qiao felt somewhat embarrassed that… his concern was not whether the players could smoothly defeat the Black Ash Knight.

It was the spectators’ emotions.

This was Jiang Qiao’s most shameful point since the saint strategy team had already been entangled with the Black Ash Knight for nearly forty minutes.

These forty minutes of battling the Black Ash Knight truly indulged the audience, whether it was the Dream Team composed of the top five clubs, the seamless cooperation among professional players, or the realistic effect of the saints’ holographic projections.

And… the immense oppressive power of the Black Ash Knight was fully displayed during these forty minutes.

Jiang Qiao even saw a post on the Saints Forum saying, ‘The Black Ash Knight is so cool, don’t hit me! I mean the Black Ash Knight’s armor set and his combat moves!’

Also… with the current live room heat reaching 23 million, all of this indicated that the first online PVE of Saints had been extremely successful so far.

Until the life recovery of the Black Ash Knight began, viewers’ emotions swiftly declined.

Because watching matches can tire the audience as well, not to mention they had been watching all day. Now, the majority of the viewers’ interest wasn’t focused on ‘how to defeat the Black Ash Knight’ but rather on what kind of award ceremony would be held after the Black Ash Knight’s defeat, hoping to catch a few more glimpses of their adored idols on the podium.

Just as Jiang Qiao was considering whether to script a dramatic death for the Black Ash Knight that would allow Queen Mei to enter the scene and call for help… the situation on the field suddenly changed.

The rise in the Black Ash Knight’s health abruptly stopped, and instead, his health began to rapidly decline.

The source of the decline was the Magic Thief who had been gradually devoured by the Black Ash Knight, now being seized by the suddenly appearing Wenna.

Wenna, hearing the cries of her kinsman, chose to abandon her quarrel with Qi Junzi using a strawman decoy to escape the peril… and then sought to save her fellow kin in this manner.

The Black Ash Knight would not have it as she wished.

“Food should not resist!” the Black Ash Knight raised his longsword mightily and plunged it fiercely into Wenna, his sword piercing her spine and heart from the back, yet Wenna still did not let go.

“Wenna! Have you lost your mind? Have you forgotten what the Queen Mother sent us here for?”

When Magic Thief Medes noticed the situation here and realized that the Black Ash Knight was devouring his kin, he also wanted to intervene, but the Queen Mother’s orders were to kill all the saints and win the match!

So Medes could only grit his teeth and continue to focus on his own battle at hand.

“I… cannot… watch my kin… being devoured by the descendants of the Devouring God any longer!” Wenna cried out, a statement so poignant that even the audience unaware of Wenna’s backstory were deeply moved.

What had been just a PVE match instantly transformed into a heart-wrenching drama, reigniting the interest of the previously weary audience.

But it was no use, Wenna’s strength was too little, and she and her kin were swallowed together by the dark mire.

At that moment, Wenna felt pain all over her body, her memory also began to fade, and an indescribable sense of despair rose within her heart as the darkness gradually devoured her.

So this is the terrifying feeling of being eaten by the Devouring God?

As despair began to envelop Wenna’s heart, the darkness before her eyes was suddenly torn apart by a thunderous arc of lightning accompanied by a roar resembling that of dragons and tigers!

At that moment, Wenna fiercely opened her eyes and saw Zhao Mingwei, somehow extending his arm and grasping her as she was sucked down by the mire.

Is that the saint? Wenna opened her mouth to shout at Zhao Mingwei, “I don’t need your pity!” but the bitterness in her throat and the despair in her heart turned into…

“Save me!” Wenna cried out to Zhao Mingwei.

Zhao Mingwei didn’t respond to Wenna… because he was currently focused on dealing with the chaos of the system in front of him.

After the Black Ash Knight devoured two Magic Thieves, numerous dark tentacles grew from his body, attacking any player who tried to get close to him.

Zhao Mingwei relied on his movements and agility to dodge the Black Ash Knight’s tentacle attacks and grabbed Wenna inside the body of the Black Ash Knight.

But with his character’s data, this amount of health should have been instantly taken down by the Black Ash Knight, but it wasn’t!

His health was continuously dropping yet also rising; Zhao Mingwei opened his data panel and found that his strength was also rapidly increasing.

A game bug? No… this was the extra BUFF given to Zhao Mingwei by Jiang Qiao using Creation Energy!

But this BUFF came at a cost.

When Zhao Mingwei’s strength surged from twelve hundred to twenty-four hundred, he began to feel a swollen pain in his arms.

This pain was not in the game, but in reality!

But that strength still wasn’t enough! Zhao Mingwei used all his strength to try to pull Wenna from the devouring grip of the Black Ash Knight, but it still wasn’t enough!

Zhao Mingwei’s strength continued to rise, three thousand seven hundred! Four thousand one hundred! Until it reached four thousand five hundred, Zhao Mingwei felt like he could hardly breathe, and in reality, he might already have a nosebleed.

At that moment, a crimson warning window popped up in front of him.

Warning: Continuing to increase your strength may cause trauma in reality, do you wish to continue? YES/NO.

YES!

Zhao Mingwei didn’t even think before immediately choosing yes, but another window popped up…

Warning: This Magic Thief is your enemy, you can choose to retreat and let your teammates continue to fight the Black Ash Knight, and you would still have a chance to win. Do you still want to save her? YES/NO.

YES!

Warning: Even so, she will not thank you. Do you still want to save her? YES/NO.

YES!

What’s with all this nonsense! I just want to finish this battle quickly!

And Jiang Qiao’s decision was to have five knights come and take down the Black Ash Knight, but Zhao Mingwei was also aware of Jiang Qiao’s arrangement and he was not satisfied with it!

Warning: ……

YES! YES! YES! YES!

“Ladies and gentlemen! Don’t you love seeing a replay the second time! We players are the heroes, aren’t we!” Zhao Mingwei shouted uncontrollably at someone he didn’t even know.

Hint: You are the hero.

When this line of text appeared in front of Zhao Mingwei’s eyes, his strength once again went through a mad surge, and in that moment, Zhao Mingwei felt his heartbeat speed up, breaking through one hundred sixty, one hundred seventy, without the dizziness in his brain stopping his actions.

When his wildly increasing strength fixed at the number 7777, Zhao Mingwei mustered his energy and pulled Wenna and the Magic Thief who was devoured with her out from inside the Black Ash Knight!

Zhao Mingwei then did a back jump, moving far away with Wenna and the Magic Thief from the Black Ash Knight, who was rampaging due to the rapid decline in health from losing power supply.

“You… you… don’t expect me to be thankful…” Wenna began to say something to Zhao Mingwei just as she got out of the dangerous situation.

Zhao Mingwei performed another beautiful back throw, directly tossing these two ‘health packs’ of the Black Ash Knight into the spectator stands.

After doing all this, Zhao Mingwei turned his gaze towards the Black Ash Knight, whose health had dropped again below two hundred thousand, and shouted loudly to his comrades who were already charged with combat BUFFs and ready to fight…

“Brothers! Take him down!”
