Survival on the Internet: A Bizarre Start at Sea

Upon seeing the [Alchemy Golem of Amadeus - First Work] before him, Su Zhixu's pupils suddenly contracted.

lv.20!

Peak of Tier 2!

The level is still slowly increasing over time!

The sapphire-like light in his eyes locked onto him in the initial work.

A heavy, ancient aura, yet imbued with an indescribable sense of "majesty" and "perfection," pressed down slowly, like a tangible wall.

Su Zhisu's heart sank suddenly.

"Completely outmatched..."

"The difference in rank is too great."

The difference is crystal clear.

The first work has taken the second step.

Its movements were not swift, but carried a sense of composure and imposing presence, like the movement of a mountain.

Extend your right arm horizontally with your palm open.

In the palm of his hand, intricate alchemical runes lit up instantly, and the surrounding air began to converge and compress wildly towards his palm, emitting a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

"We cannot defeat them by force!"

Su Zhisu made a quick decision and retreated!

At the same time, the [Scimitar Facing the Storm] was held horizontally in front of him, and the Night Watch Heart Flame was fully activated, igniting a ghostly blue flame on the blade!

A condensed white beam of energy, like a spear of judgment, burst forth from the palm of the Initial Creation, instantly tearing through the air and shooting towards Su Zhisu!

Wherever the beam of light passed, a scorched mark was plowed into the ground, and the scattered fragments of books silently turned to dust.

Su Zhisu narrowly escaped by sidestepping!

The energy beam grazed his shoulder and struck the bookshelf behind him.

"boom!"

The huge bookshelf, along with half of the wall behind it, was blown to pieces!

Gravel and wood chips rained down like a storm.

Su Zhisu rolled on the spot to dissipate the impact and quickly got up.

A burning pain shot through my shoulder; the area that had been rubbed was charred black.

Just a single scratch caused him considerable injury.

[Health Points]: 75%/100%

"Such powerful force..."

"You can't take the hit head-on; you have to move around."

The blue light in the eyes of the initial creation flickered slightly, as if it were conducting analysis.

It did not immediately pursue, but instead raised its palm again.

Energy began to gather, but this time the speed and intensity seemed to be even greater than before.

"It's adapting...it's learning my dodge pattern, is it its [Combat Calculation] skill?"

"Furthermore, based on its [Energy Resonance] skill, its level has already started to rise!"

Su Zhisu gritted his teeth, wiped away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his eyes extremely solemn.

"We can't beat them, and we can't escape them."

This library seems to be protected by some kind of restriction; the entrance door has been quietly closed at some point and is now sealed by a faint barrier of alchemical runes.

"We must find a way... we must find its weakness..."

"Trigger an emotional storm? That probably wouldn't work, would it?"

"We should give it a try no matter what."

He attempted to reactivate the [Blank Core of Obsession], inserting an [Emotional Crystal] and detonating it!

A strong emotional surge spread out, sweeping over the initial work.

However, the blue light in the puppet's eyes didn't even flicker, and its movements didn't falter in the slightest.

The energy gathered in the palm of the hand actually increased faster.

"No... its core seems more 'complete' or protected in some way; the impact of the emotional storm is completely ineffective!"

The energy beam in the palm of the original work bursts forth once again!

This time, the beam was thicker and faster!

Su Zhisu focused his mind to the extreme and lunged to the side!

"boom!"

The ground where he was standing was blown open, leaving a deep crater.

The blast wave sent him flying, crashing heavily into the bookshelf on the other side.

"Cough cough..."

Su Zhisu felt his internal organs churning, and a metallic sweetness rose in his throat.

He struggled to his feet, his gaze sweeping over the skill bar.

The icon for 【Moon Avatar lv.MAX】 is still dim, and the cooldown period is still a long 10.5 days.

"Even if it's usable... it would be a waste to use it here."

"This is just a dungeon; it's not a life-or-death situation yet."

The initial calculations seem to have been completed, and ranged attacks are no longer being used.

Its massive body began to move, approaching Su Zhisu.

His steps were steady, each one causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Su Zhisu took a deep breath, suppressed his injuries, and gripped the curved blade tightly.

"I wonder how effective the Night Watcher's Flame... Alchemy Purification... will be..."

"The only way is to rely on skill to maneuver..."

Silence fell, the initial creation was already close at hand, and it raised its arm, sweeping across with a heavy, mountain-like momentum!

With each swing of his arm, he created a heavy wind pressure that stirred up the surrounding dust.

Su Zhisu dared not take the blow head-on, and instead pushed off with his feet, retreating rapidly to the side and rear.

At the same time, he slashed with his curved blade, attempting to leave a mark on the opponent's arm.

"clang!"

The blade struck the dark, wood-and-metal arm, producing a loud clang.

Only a faint white mark remained.

The recoil caused Su Zhisu's arm to go numb.

The other arm of the initial creation has already smashed down like a warhammer!

Su Zhisu rolled awkwardly, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"Bang!"

The ground was smashed into a shallow crater.

The battle turned into a one-sided chase.

Su Zhisu was like a small boat in a storm, struggling to defend himself against the initial attack.

Using the overturned bookshelves and scattered boulders in the library as cover, he desperately dodged.

Occasionally, it can seize the opportunity to counterattack during the initial attack, but the [Scimitar Towards the Storm] has little effect on it.

The Night Watch's Flame attaches to it, but it will extinguish after burning for a short while.

The "purification" mark of [Alchemy Purification] is imprinted, and the stacked marks can be combined for a combo, but unfortunately, the damage it causes is too low.

"Completely restrained..."

"Its [Order Strike] skill has a special effect against bizarre forces, and I am now a 'Bizarre' alchemist..."

"The essence of the Night Watch Heart Flame and the [Alchemy Purification] skill is also to purify 'pollution,' but against a pure alchemical creation like this, the effect is greatly reduced."

The initial attacks became increasingly methodical.

It seems to have completely figured out Su Zhixu's dodging habits and attack rhythm.

Each attack blocked Su Zhisu's most likely escape route, forcing him to make more difficult and energy-consuming evasive maneuvers.

Su Zhisu's breathing became more and more rapid, and several more wounds appeared on his body.

Although not fatal, the continuous blood loss and physical exhaustion began to slow his movements.

"Its level is still rising, and it's becoming increasingly aware of my combat rhythm..."

"If this continues, I won't last five minutes."

We have to think of a way...

His mind raced, his gaze sweeping across every corner of the library, searching for a glimmer of hope.

His gaze finally fell on the now-ordinary "Alchemy Manual of Amadeus" in his hand, and then on the murals on the wall depicting the basic structure of puppets.

"Puppet alchemy...alchemy language..."

A thought, like a flash of lightning in the darkness, suddenly illuminated his mind.

"Alchemy Language - Puppetry... I have acquired this skill..."
