Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Soon after.

Meng Bai was ready.

She is the closest blessed point to her goal.

This place is located near the Asian Plateau.

When Mengbai successfully defeated Rataen in the battle celebration, her overall strength increased again, and she now possesses the strength of a peak third-tier, second-star character.

If you add various status items, you can temporarily reach the strength of a third-tier, third- or fourth-star player, making you a top-tier expert in the border region.

"The Church of Tranquility is still quite a distance away. I haven't activated the Blessings along the way, so it seems I'll have to ride a horse there..."

Meng Bai blew Toret's whistle, mounted her spirit horse, and began to gallop. After about half an hour, she began to feel the terrain rising steadily.

Just then, a piercing scream rang out, and dozens of giant rats quickly emerged from the bushes ahead amidst the commotion.

"These rats are strange!"

Adventurers are no strangers to mutated giant rats; these creatures are found in most parts of the border region.

Giant rats can be found in various tombs, mines, and ruins, and they are even frequently seen in Galid, which is corrupted by scarlet decay, which is enough to show that giant rats have a very strong ability to adapt.

These giant rats are completely different from those elsewhere; they are unusually violent and frenzied, with golden flames burning in their eyes and golden burn marks visible on their fur.

When dozens or even hundreds of them appear at the same time, the threat they pose is not small!

Meng Bai had no time to deal with these lowly beasts. She used the spirit horse's powerful mobility to easily bypass and shake off the swarm of rats.

At that moment, she suddenly felt an extremely strange and eerie power enveloping her, causing her to hallucinate and hear countless distorted and insane murmurs.

"what is this?"

At this moment, not only Meng Bai felt this power, but the adventurers watching outside also felt it.

Vesalos said, "This is an extremely insane spiritual energy with a very strong polluting effect!"

Artus looked surprised: "Indeed, even outside the Secret Realm Crystal, I could feel the evil and terrifying power of this force!"

"Madfire!"

"It's Mad Fire!"

"Look!"

"..."

Through the secret realm crystal, everyone could see that there were many buildings on the hillside ahead, and the top of one of the tower-like buildings was emitting strange dark golden flames!

This flame has no support or physical form.

They seem to have been born directly from the depths of a malevolent void.

The flames erupt periodically, and the mental fluctuations emitted during each eruption can affect all living beings within a radius of several kilometers.

Despite trying to speed up and rush over, Meng Bai felt the mental pollution she was experiencing becoming more and more severe as she was exposed to the illumination range of the Madfire Lighthouse for longer and longer.

Ultimately, the whole world became distorted and bizarre, filled with countless filthy and twisted babbling.

"what!"

When this crazy feeling reaches a critical point!
Meng Bai instantly lost control of her body, and she involuntarily covered her head.

With a loud bang, dark golden flames erupted from inside the skull and burst forth from the seven orifices, instantly shattering the head into pieces.

dead!
When you respawn at the respawn point.

Her face showed lingering fear.

This force is so insane, so twisted, so evil.

Although this power was not strong enough for Meng Bai's true form, even with Meng Bai's hundreds of years of experience, she had never seen such pure chaos and madness.

"What terrifying power! I can clearly feel that the chaotic level and grade contained within the Mad Flame are extremely high, possessing the great power to merge all things in the world and return heaven and earth to chaos!"

Meng Bai exclaimed in shock and horror, "This is a power capable of twisting and destroying the entire world. In terms of terror, it even surpasses Galid's Crimson Corruption!"

All of a sudden.

The crowd stirred.

Baihe Jushi said, "Although some people have come into contact with the mad fire in the border area, they have never felt its terror so directly."

Nancy said, "The Golden Law represents absolute order, while the Golden Madness represents absolute chaos. The Lord created two completely opposite forces and cast them into the border region."

Time Traveler: "I've heard that the deity behind the Golden Law is the Supreme Will, and the messenger sent by the Supreme Will is Two Fingers, while the messenger of Chaos Mad Fire is Three Fingers."

Is it possible that two fingers and three fingers actually originated from the same palm?

"An interesting angle!"

“The color of energy at the boundary is often closely related to its nature. Logically speaking, the Golden Law and Chaos Madness are two completely different forces, but they are both golden energies.”

"It's hard to say whether it's two sides of the same coin, both originating from the supreme will."

"What kind of deity is this supreme will?"

"..."

As everyone discussed it.

Mengbai has started afresh.

Through observation, she has found a way to crack the Firebeacon.

Although the raging fire that appeared atop the tower was extremely dangerous, it exhibited a clear periodicity.

It burns for about ten seconds and then briefly goes out for a few seconds. During the burning process, you can avoid being affected by the radiation by simply taking cover behind a bunker.

Mengbai calculated the time perfectly.

Hide before the manic-fire erupts.

Whenever the madness temporarily subsides, it runs wildly.

Although the effects of the madness fire are still unavoidable during this process, the curse of the madness fire will not erupt as long as the pollution does not reach a certain critical value.

It took a tremendous amount of effort.

We successfully passed the Madfire Lighthouse.

It took another quarter of an hour or two to reach the vicinity of the church.

She lit a blessing nearby and then headed toward the abandoned church.

Meng Bai hadn't gone inside yet.

A sense of danger suddenly arose.

She saw a mass of black ash appear at the church entrance. The ashes gathered together and eventually transformed into a familiar figure.

“Vic!”

This person is no one else.

It was Vic, a Knight of the Round Table.

It just hasn't regained its former glory.

His cloak was burned to tatters, and huge, hot fingerprints were distributed on the breastplate, trousers, helmet, and other parts of his knight's armor.

Vic's face was obscured by his helmet, but through the gaps in the helmet, his eyes burned with a dark golden light.

It's maniacal fire!
As Sir Hundred Wisdom said.

Vic, under the influence of the manic fire, had long lost his reason.

All that remained in him was chaos and madness, capable of destroying everything. So without the slightest hesitation, he launched an attack, summoning a bolt of lightning that struck the unsuspecting Meng Bai directly.

"Damn it, this guy... is it really impossible to communicate with him after all?"

Meng Bai was struck by lightning and staggered back a few steps, suffering considerable injury.

Vic activated his skill again, and a red lightning bolt surged from his body, instantly transforming into thousands of wisps of electric light.

next moment.

It turned into a fleeting shadow.

It almost appeared in front of me.

When Vic launched his attack, his spear, crackling with red lightning, came from all directions like a storm.

too fast!
Meng Bai couldn't keep up with the speed at all, and only managed to parry a few moves before a cunning spear light pierced into her chest.

Then came the second, third, and tenth rounds.

The spear was like a machine gun.

It mercilessly swept across the body.

Meng Bai didn't even have a chance to use the Red Holy Grail Dewdrop before collapsing on the spot amidst a storm of attacks.

dead!
Challenge failed!

Everyone who saw this gasped in astonishment.

Such ferocity and strength truly befits the man who almost became the King of Elden!

"Hmph, you Victor, I was too careless this time... Although I don't know what happened, this guy is obviously beyond saving. The only way to truly free him is to kill him!"

Thinking of past affections.

Mengbai made a decision.

She wants to help Vic get completely free!
"Come again!"

Mengbai took the challenge again without rashly rushing forward.

She pre-blessed Vic with Dragon Thunder, Golden Oath, Vengeance Oath, and other enhancement items.

With this enhancement, Meng Bai's strength reached at least the peak of the third tier, fourth star. Then she took out the Soul-Summoning Bell and shook it.

Amidst the crisp sound of bells.

A spirit knight clad in armor and wielding two swords was summoned.

The Lost Knight Oreg... This is one of the ashes he possessed. In his lifetime, he was a top-tier Lost Knight, skilled in two-handed swordsmanship, and possessed a formidable strength of a third-tier, two-star warrior.

After preparing, Mengbai re-entered the battlefield, triggering "Quasi-King Vic" and sparking another battle.

Vic immediately unleashed Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike, summoning dozens, even hundreds, of red lightning bolts that fell in all directions.

Each lightning strike creates a wide-area lightning effect upon hitting the ground, and the lost knight Oreg was hit by several lightning bolts and immediately suffered considerable injuries.

Vic grabbed a bolt of lightning in mid-air with his left hand, instantly condensing it into a lightning spear, which he then swiftly hurled at the lost knight Oreg!

The lightning spear pierced through his body at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

This formidable knight from the lost homeland was killed before he even had a chance to face Vic in a direct confrontation.

After killing the spirit of the Lost Knight.

Vic summoned lightning to condense a red lightning blade, which was about two or three meters long. This was the ancient dragon's prayer, "Lance Sandks' Blade".

He held a spear wrapped in crimson lightning in his right hand and a lightning blade completely imbued with lightning in his left, launching another fierce attack on Meng Bai.

Meng Bai dared not take the thunder blade head-on. He barely managed to dodge several thunder blade slashes and block several thrusts from the spear.

Vic suddenly leaped high into the air, his left hand wielding a long sword that slashed out with lightning speed, releasing a shockwave of lightning that spread forward in a fan shape.

Meng Bai had no time to dodge and was instantly engulfed by the fan-shaped red lightning. The violent lightning struck, eroded, and tore at her body from all directions.

It will not lead to death.

But it was also extremely painful.

This put her in a state of numbness.

Vic once again appeared in a blur, and with an unstoppable momentum that pierced through all obstacles, his spear once again pierced Mengbai's vital point.

dead!
Another loss!
No wonder he's a potential Wang Weike!
It's destined to be another tough game!

Mengbai then fought five more matches in a row, but each time she couldn't last ten rounds against Victor.

This guy is too strong!
He possesses top-notch combat skills, top-notch techniques, and is also imbued with multiple powerful ancient dragon prayers.

Even if the brain has been burned away by the madness and the ability to think has been lost, fighting based on instinct is still extremely terrifying. Of course!

Any opponent!

There must be a weakness!

The adventurer's greatest advantage is that she has enough energy to try and fail repeatedly. After fighting seven or eight battles in a row, she has figured out all of Vic's moves.

This guy is too fast, and he has too many moves and countless methods, especially the power of the Ancient Dragon Prayer, which is hard to stop.

Mengbai held several meetings with other experienced adventurers to discuss the matter.

Ultimately, two solutions came to mind!

First, try to wear down Vic and avoid his attacks. For example, use high-defense units like Shield Soldiers to tank for a while and deplete most of Vic's mana, thereby reducing the frequency of his skill output and creating opportunities!
Secondly, try to reduce his speed and status. The most troublesome thing about Vic is not his dragon lightning, but his super fast speed. To reduce his speed, you can use poison or ice attacks.

Meng Bai thought about it for a while.

Option 2 has been decided.

Although she has obtained the ashes of the shield soldiers and can summon them, the soldiers' strength is limited because the ashes have not been enhanced.

With just a few giant shield soldiers.

How to stop a potential king?
Mengbai rang the bell again, and this time the soul summoned was none other than the Soul Jellyfish.

Compared to the Hound of Corruption.

The latter's accompanying Crimson Corruption also inflicts a poisoning effect, but it can only be used at close range. Getting close to Vic is no easy feat, and the hounds will be quickly eliminated.

The Soul Jellyfish has been enhanced multiple times and has reached the strength of a Tier 3, 2-star creature. Although it is relatively fragile, it can launch attacks from a great distance.

The battle begins again!

This time, Meng Bai took out her shield and stepped forward to personally restrain Vic, as Vic's storm of lightning and attacks rained down on her.

Although it caused Mengbai considerable damage, she can recover with the Holy Grail Dew as long as she doesn't die instantly.

During this process, the Soul Jellyfish continuously sprayed venom from a distance, and several venoms successfully hit Vic.

Although not fatal, the poison had already spread throughout Vic's body, and despite his incredible strength, Vic was still only made of flesh and blood.

After being poisoned, his reaction time and speed noticeably declined, which gave Meng Bai an opportunity.

"There's a show!"

Mengbai decisively abandoned the shield, dual-wielded Hound Fangs, and used Hound Movement to quickly close the distance and launch an attack.

when!
The sword, crackling with red lightning, struck the spear, which was also crackling with red lightning.

The two sides began to engage in close combat.

Through Vic's helmet, Meng Bai could see that the Knight of the Round Table had no reason in his eyes, his face and body were covered with large areas of burns and cracks, and there were dark golden flame marks under his skin.

"What exactly did you go through?" Although Meng Bai felt grief and indignation at what Vic had gone through, she also knew that now was not the time to be sad.

Intensify the offensive!

They clashed several times in a row.

The jellyfish provided continuous remote assistance.

As Vic's poisoning progressed and slowed, the two sides gradually became evenly matched.

Meng Bai has survived the most difficult stage. She believes that as long as she plays steadily and uses the Holy Grail Dew to recover from her exhaustion, she has at least a 60% chance of winning!

however.

When she seized the opportunity.

He struck Vic with a single blow.

Finally, for the first time, they have taken the initiative.

Vic let out a shrill and painful roar, his skin cracked and deepened, and a large amount of manic fire surged from his body, spewing out from his seven orifices and shattering his helmet, spraying in all directions.

"not good!"

Meng Bai could clearly feel that when the power of the Mad Fire erupted within Vic's body, he seemed to transform into a humanoid Mad Fire beacon.

Mental pollution is accumulating rapidly!
If you cannot defeat and kill it within ten seconds, you will surely die in the outbreak of the Mad Fire Curse.

The issue is.

In just ten seconds.

How could I possibly defeat him?
Despite becoming increasingly out of control and insane, this guy still maintains a strong fighting spirit and destructive drive.

Countless red ancient dragon lightning bolts rained down around them, forming a powerful offensive together with the erupting mad fire.

Vic swung his gun again.

The spear was not only wrapped in red dragon lightning, but also flamed with burning dark red maniacal flames, so it not only had powerful physical destructive force, but also carried a terrifying mental attack.

Finished!

Can't stop!
The instant Mengbai had that thought!
"Vic!" A soft female voice came from the tranquil church, and a semi-transparent witch spirit appeared near the battlefield.

Vic's extremely frenzied state came to an abrupt halt, and he suddenly experienced a very brief moment of disorientation and struggle.

"kill……"

Meng Bai realized that her friend had created a fleeting opportunity for her before her last remaining consciousness burned out.

Meng Bai decisively switched to the Night and Fire Sword.

He used a move called "Black Comet" to stab Vic in the heart.

boom!
All the remaining magic power in Meng Bai's body was transformed into a black energy by the Night and Fire Sword, instantly tearing through her armor and flesh, causing a fatal wound.

The thunder and the raging fire finally subsided.

Vic's body slowly collapsed, his flesh turning into black ash once more, leaving only his weapons and armor.

it is finally over!
Meng Bai defeated this formidable enemy.

As she entered the church, she saw a witch's corpse in a corner.

“Vic’s witch…it was her spirit that helped me, otherwise I would never have had a chance to kill Vic!”

Meng Bai's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Although they defeated this powerful opponent.

But this was clearly not the occasion or the manner she desired.

Furthermore, why did Vic become like this? The cause and effect of this matter became a mystery shortly after Vic's death.

Shortly after.

End the challenge.

Exit the secret realm.

【Challenge Ends!】

【This evaluation: B-B! 】

[You have obtained the "Skill Stone: Fulthex's Thunder Spear"!]

Big shipment!

A top-tier, rare Tier 4 skill!
Meng Bai's face lit up with joy. All the suffering she had endured was worthwhile; the gains from this adventure were enough to satisfy her.

Ancient dragon magic is of great value to her; it is not only very practical but also provides inspiration and enlightenment.

But hesitated for a second.

I don't want this trophy.

[You have activated "Sign of Abundance x3"!]

[Adventure Assessment: Double Armor Up!]

You have obtained the "Spirit of Quasi-King Vic"!

Very good!
The bet was right!
Mengbai was overjoyed once again!

Everyone else also showed envy.

The other shore flower said, "Quasi-Wang Weike? This is definitely a fourth-tier rare spirit with quality close to that of a rare treasure!"

Vesalos: "We've struck gold this time! Vic not only possesses a variety of ancient dragon spells, but he also has the power of Mad Fire!"

Artus nodded: "By obtaining this essence, she has essentially gained multiple high-quality skill stones, and can also research the insane and forbidden power of Mad Fire!"

"Mengbai is having such a great time!"

"envious!"

"..."

Mengbai's adventure today was very fruitful. She not only defeated General Rataen of Shattered Stars, but also eliminated Vic, her biggest rival on the road to becoming king.

It probably won't take long.

She could then reach the foot of the Golden Tree, pay homage to the Ring of Law, and become the revered Queen of Elden.

Qi Ji was satisfied with the adventurers' progress. He had also been keeping an eye on Meng Bai's battle. At this rate, the first clear of the Magic Ring should be achieved in just a few days.

However, the border area is very vast and rich. While it is not difficult to pass through, it is not something that can be done in a short time to thoroughly explore and develop this mysterious place.

Qi Ji refocused his attention.

He didn't spend too much time or attention on the border area, after all, in the current Miracle City.

Elden Ring is just one of many dungeons, and it's far from being a particularly crucial one at the moment. The focus of our work over the past two days has been on creating the latest dungeon and replacing the general.

He plans to do so within the next day or two.

The farm and Naruto Secret Realm were launched in Miracle City.

These two instances are of great significance to Miracle Realm. The former is the first purely production-oriented instance, while the latter is a completely new type of instance with a distinct style.

It can inject new vitality into the territory.

This will expand its influence and enhance its overall strength.

In addition, Qi Ji has created a series of brand-new illusions, including Naruto-related theatrical films.

Why is it that we already have a secret realm?

Do we even need to create a special illusion?
This is partly because Naruto is a manga adaptation, making it naturally suitable for creating illusions, and partly because illusions can better promote culture and skills.

In the future, whether you are an adventurer, an ordinary citizen, or even a tourist, you can learn chakra cultivation methods and ninjutsu through the Enlightenment Tower. This alone can create great value.

Other than that.

Qi Ji also has several completed miraculous illusions.

For example, "Star Wars Episode III" is scheduled to be released today.

This episode is adapted from "Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Fallen," and is considered the most exciting and important installment in the entire Star Wars series.

It will not only completely expose the Sith Lord's conspiracy, but also cause Anakin, the prophesied son, to undergo a series of changes and completely fall into corruption and transform into Darth Vader.

no doubt.

This way of character development is still too advanced for people in this world.

The adventurers who are the citizens of Miracle Territory could never have imagined that the protagonist, who was built up over three whole works, would eventually turn into a super villain.

Qi Ji is looking forward to seeing everyone's reactions and comments.

In addition, works such as Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons and Legend of Shushan are ready to be launched at any time.

The only problem is.

There are too few Illusion Towers in Miracle City.

Qi Ji needs to find a way to collect more blueprints for the Illusionary Enlightenment Tower. The more Illusionary Towers there are, the more areas can be arranged.

In the future, the Illusion Tower could even be built in Thousand Lakes City or other key locations within the reach of other Miracle Cities, combining with the Adventure Hall to exert influence and continuously generate resources and profits for the territory. (End of Chapter)
