Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later

124 Speed Kill

In-game, killing a high-level Moon Realm existence using conventional methods was a rather long process. It often involved a long chain of quests and a considerable sized dungeon.

Of course, one could also choose to fight the main body of a high-level Moon Realm existence from the beginning, but because this wasn’t the method recommended by the game designer—after all, they had designed exquisite and interesting dungeons for these Bosses. If one fought the main body straight away, the resistance of the various stats of a high-level Moon Realm existence would be so high that players would doubt their lives.

Therefore, generally speaking, players needed to enter the Moon Realm dungeon first—extinguish a few lamps that symbolized something, close a few doors that led to a certain source of power, or kill a few guards, save a few souls, and find a few helpers…

In short, players often needed to do a bunch of prerequisite quests to weaken the other party before they could kill a high-level Lunar Monster normally.

However, players’ use of all aspects of the game’s mechanisms always exceeded the developers’ imagination. Or rather, the design of having a highest difficulty mode that didn’t suffer any weakening was treated as a challenge by players.

Videos of all kinds of extreme kills and speed kills were showcased on their main pages for everyone to watch like spoils of war or medals of honor among hardcore players.

Although William cared more about the game’s plot than pursuing speed kills, this didn’t stop him from watching hardcore game videos and lamenting how such feats could be done.

He had also specially practiced some easier fighting styles. Coupled with the proficiency brought about by his long gaming times, although he couldn’t compare to professional players who specialized in this, he could be considered a big shot in the eyes of ordinary players.

With the four Void Sovereigns around, it was impossible for William to slowly search for the other party’s weakness in Black Crow Gaze—which lamp to extinguish or the key to weaken the other party’s concept. Therefore, as he had expected, only by stacking damage like now could he achieve a speed kill.

He hadn’t held back in the few rounds he had fought Coles. They were all using Divine Realm spells that dealt high damage.

However, after a few rounds of attacks, other than the attack where he almost stabbed the other party with Judgment 2 being a relatively fatal threat, the other damage probably only dealt some damage to the other party.

Of course, William could eventually kill the other party if he slowly drew down on its HP bar. However, it would take too long. The four fellows around him wouldn’t give him this time.

However, it was completely different now.

In-game, this buff could only be seen from the status bar. But now, William could finally clearly sense how powerful he was.

The moment he heard the words ‘enough to kill you,’ Coles flashed the white claw in its hand and turned into an afterimage as it charged at William.

The other party had even gambled using the Twilight Fortress.

Coles had no reason to convince itself that the Presiding Judge was still someone it could try to win over for the Moon Realm.

He was really here to kill it.

Closing the distance was its only chance of winning.

Even if what Coles needed to do now was buy time until the four Void Sovereigns broke the Twilight Fortress’s seal and entered, it had to close the distance.

William Kane was the strongest magic chanter Coles had ever seen in its life.

Be it the old fellow from the Tacma Church who claimed to be the only mage in the world or the Great Sage Yeats who had cultivated all 13 spells to the Divine Realm 800 years ago and suppressed the entire Mage Guild to establish the Astral Laws, they were far inferior to the Presiding Judge in Coles’s opinion.

The best way to deal with a magic chanter was to close the distance between them, preventing the other party from having enough time to channel a spell.

The Presiding Judge’s close combat ability was only at the level of self-protection. He wasn’t even its match once it used Crowman Rage a thousand years ago.

Not to mention the present it.

I’m stronger in close combat, Coles thought.

The claws in its hand stabbed toward William’s chest like a white bolt of lightning. Its razor-like sharp claws instantly sliced through the other party’s tattered robe and stabbed into the other party…

Then, its claw blade was blocked.

For some reason, William, as a magic chanter, had agility comparable to his. He held the crystal magical medium in his hands and blocked Coles’s pounce with a clang.

The crystal magical medium flickered with a metallic luster. It must have been strengthened by a spell and was made of a sturdy material, so it could withstand the sharpness…

Crackle…

Coles’s claws were shattered.

It could see clearly that at that moment, golden runes suddenly circled William’s arm a few times. Then, he waved the crystal magical medium in his hand, and an extremely terrifying force came from the staff.

In just a moment, the claws—which were purely made of the Moon Realm essence—were shattered like glass.

Although it was extremely shocked, Coles wasn’t stunned because the other party’s next strike was aimed at its head.

It instantly turned into a shadow and dodged the strike like liquid.

The sonic boom caused by the staff missing secretly alarmed Coles.

But before Coles could run far, it saw a blazing white fireball appear at the tip of William’s staff.

Although the color wasn’t right, Coles could sense that it was indeed a Fireball.

However, Fireball? Using Fireball in a battle at this level?

Looking at the Fireball attacking him, Coles—who was hiding in the shadows—didn’t even dodge.

Then, when it came back to its senses again, it had already turned into a black crow horde that filled the sky and flew into the air.

Amidst this, its mind seemed to blank out.

Taking human form again, Coles looked at the pit on the ground that looked like it had been struck by a meteorite. It was a little puzzled about what had just happened.

It only remembered flashes, explosions… Then, its body seemed to have been blasted apart.

If it hadn’t ascended to a high-level Moon Realm existence, it would have been dead from the previous strike.

Even now, it was quite injured.

Black blood snaked out of the corner of its mouth.

It was injured.

Moreover, it was injured by an Apprentice-level Fireball.

What was this? A Fireball spell could cause such damage to it. Then, had the other party been teasing it when the two of them were at Black Crow Gaze?

William looked at the black blood flowing from the corner of Coles’s mouth and roughly calculated the damage caused by the strike. Then, he raised the magical medium in his hand again.

No matter how high the resistance of a high-level Moon Realm existence was in all aspects and how powerful they were, as long as he maxed out the buffs, he could still cause considerable damage. After reducing the other party’s health to a certain extent, Judgment 2 could finish the battle.

“Use whatever you haven’t used,” William said. “Don’t leave yourself with any regrets.”

Upon hearing William’s words, pitch-black patterns instantly crawled up Coles’s face. Sensing the threat to its life, it didn’t plan on conserving its strength.

Even if it had to pay a considerable price, it had to hold on for the last two minutes.

“As you wish…”

With that said, Coles’s entire body completely turned into a humanoid black void.

In the center of this void, there was a fine white speck of light.

It wanted to use its incomplete stature to forcefully use power at the Void Sovereign level.
