Chapter 95

A faint, ethereal light flickered, flowing over Qin Ran's palm like a stream. ▲∴

At that moment, Qin Ran felt his left hand transform into a sword, a shield, and something... invincible!

Although he knew that this was the power granted by the skill [Plus's Bite], and the illusion caused by his temporary inability to adapt, Qin Ran, experiencing this feeling for the first time, couldn't help but let out a long, loud howl.

The howl was like a wave, echoing repeatedly.

A massive, shadowy figure began to appear and disappear behind Qin Ran, the white-armored phantom opening a giant mouth capable of swallowing a car.

Roar!

A faint roar merged with Qin Ran's howl.

The crimson eyes followed Qin Ran's gaze, focusing on their prey.

The giant crocodile, Plus!

When Qin Ran activated [Plus's Greed], the quasi-soul of the giant crocodile Plus, attached to [Plus's Arm], once again returned to the mortal world.

It displayed its formidable power with its unique posture.

Swoosh!

Qin Ran's left hand swept in front of Gilphen Hedge, who, clearly startled by the appearance of the giant crocodile Plus, failed to dodge the attack!

A blood groove appeared on Gilphen Hedge's body, which was immune to ordinary blade and sword damage, and black blood stained Qin Ran's left hand.

A crimson light, similar to Plus's eyes, enveloped Qin Ran's left hand, driving out the blackness in the blood.

Only the purest life force flowed into Qin Ran's body.

[Plus's Bite: You deal 20 points of damage to the opponent. The opponent's skill to resist critical damage and Intermediate Undead Skin cannot override the priority of Plus's Bite, resulting in 20 points of actual life damage...]

[Plus's Greed: Deals 20 points of life damage to the opponent, converting 2 points of life value...]

"The skill [Plus's Bite] has a higher priority than the opponent's critical damage immunity and Intermediate Undead Skin?!"

Feeling the recovery of his life value and checking the battle information on his retinal display, Qin Ran's eyes lit up.

Then, he attacked Gilphen Hedge like a madman.

Left hand [Plus's Bite], right hand [Lightning Knuckle]!

One side was crimson like blood, the other side was electric sparks.

Qin Ran's hands brought a gust of wind, completely enveloping Gilphen Hedge.

And the injured Gilphen Hedge truly went berserk!

The half-dead being, severely wounded, completely abandoned dodging and confidently clashed with Qin Ran.

He believed his unique constitution would make him the ultimate victor!

You punch me, I claw you back.

Both sides fought like unskilled brutes.

But the blood and flesh flying, the blood splattering, made it seem like a battlefield.

However, just a few seconds later, Gilphen Hedge's movements slowed, his heavily scarred body swayed, and his consciousness became blurred, remembering only that he should win.

Thus, Gilphen Hedge's attacks continued.

Compared to Gilphen Hedge, Qin Ran's condition wasn't much better.

But the speed of his attacks didn't slow down at all.

Even a hint of madness appeared in his eyes.

Because [Plus's Bite] had a higher priority than the opponent's critical damage immunity, Qin Ran specifically targeted Gilphen Hedge's vital points.

When Gilphen Hedge showed signs of weakness, Qin Ran pounced on him, straddling him, and attacked his head with a frenzy.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Muffled sounds echoed continuously.

Until Gilphen Hedge lay still, Qin Ran stopped.

This battle, from start to finish, lasted only six or seven seconds.

In fact, Gilphen Hedge was already at the end of his strength.

He had entered a severe injury state after losing 350 points of life value to Qin Ran.

Although he entered a special state, ignoring the negative effects of the severe injury, the fact that his life value was decreasing remained unchanged.

Based on the severe injury state occurring when life value drops below 30%, Gilphen Hedge's maximum life value was approximately 500 points.

After losing 350 points of life value, Gilphen Hedge had 150 points left.

Under [Plus's Bite], Qin Ran could deal 20 points of actual damage with one hit, even on non-vital points.

And just now, Qin Ran had punched Gilphen Hedge more than ten times!

Most of them hit Gilphen Hedge's head.

Of course, Qin Ran also took more than ten punches from the other side.

However, the opponent's punches no longer had the power of that special state, although they were stronger than ordinary people, they were still within Qin Ran's tolerance.

Otherwise, even with the skill [Plus's Greed] constantly absorbing the opponent's life, Qin Ran would have died.

[Plus's Bite: You deal 20 points of life damage to the opponent. The opponent's skill to resist critical damage and Intermediate Undead Skin cannot override the priority of Plus's Bite, resulting in 40 points of actual life damage (20 Unarmed Combat (Expert) x2), opponent dies...]

[Plus's Greed: Deals 40 points of life damage to the opponent, converting 4 points of life value...]

...

The battle information on the retinal display informed Qin Ran that he was the ultimate victor.

Roar!

As if to prove his invincibility, the massive shadow of Plus roared to the sky and then dissipated.

The 10-second duration of [Plus's Bite] had ended.

[Plus's Greed], based on [Plus's Bite], naturally ended as well.

Gilphen Hedge's corpse on the ground began to rapidly melt.

Yes, melt!

Like a lit candle.

However, on the corpse, a ring enveloped in orange light was quickly emerging.

Qin Ran grabbed the ring and quickly ran out.

He knew the so-called [Sacrifice] effect was still in place.

Qin Ran rushed out of the hall, through the door, and the information appeared on his retinal display.

[Exiting the magic array...]

[Sacrifice disappears!]

Feeling the life value no longer draining, Qin Ran sighed in relief and turned to look back at the hall.

He saw the melted black-red liquid of Gilphen Hedge flying directly into the bronze giant coffin in the air, seeping into the bronze giant coffin in an instant.

With the absorption of the black-red liquid formed by the melted Gilphen Hedge, the bronze giant coffin, chains, and everything else returned to their original appearance.

Including the heartbeat sound coming from inside the bronze giant coffin.

And the system prompt appeared simultaneously:

[Player completes the main quest: Resolve the trouble in the prison within a week!]

[Player will leave the instance in five minutes...]

[Please carry items you can carry as items to take out!]

(Note: Items exceeding the carrying limit will be automatically identified as items that cannot be taken out of the instance!)

...

Qin Ran checked the prompt, while Stanbeck let out a cheer.

He had been waiting for this moment.

However, Qin Ran frowned.

His gaze fell on the bronze giant coffin.

Qin Ran knew very well that the bronze giant coffin held greater secrets!

Similarly, such secrets must contain greater rewards!

But such rewards also represented risks he couldn't bear!

Just one [Intimidate] cost him 100 points of life value, and whatever it was, it was not something he could provoke now.

Even if he was unwilling, it was the same.

Qin Ran didn't want to lose his life due to excessive greed.

He took another look at the bronze giant coffin, gritted his teeth, and ran out with a hint of reluctance.

Stanbeck, who had been carefully observing Qin Ran's expression, immediately relaxed.

He was afraid that Qin Ran would impulsively provoke trouble he shouldn't.

However, Stanbeck soon became curious.

Qin Ran was about to leave the instance, what was he going to do?

"What are you going to do?"

Stanbeck shouted.

"Make up for the loss!"

Qin Ran said without turning back.

Then, Qin Ran's figure quickly disappeared from Stanbeck's sight.
