Surviving the Eternal Night: I'm a Monster Who Can Make Wishes

Chapter 170 Unleashing the Instinct of Fear!

Hellish exploitation!

Li Wu Hui walked and stopped frequently along the way.

Hundreds more gray and white skill orbs arrived, while the female stone goblin was sent into the shadow dungeon.

Let's wait until then to be resurrected together.

"Let's continue, Mia."

"Next, you will lead the hunt. I will build some new shadowy burrow shelters on the ground."

Li Wu Hui felt somewhat bored.

The Divine Heinous Saintess Mia flies fast, sees far, and her divine magic attacks have an absurdly long range!

He can't even get a chance to practice by killing some monsters.

But let's forget about having Mia deliberately let a few monsters slip through.

This is such an inefficient thing.

He wouldn't want to do it.

"Mia understands, Commander Knight."

The Divine Heinous Saintess Mia flew down, approached Li Wu Hui, and took a deep breath.

Only then did they return to the sky, satisfied.

The two continued their hunt for the stone-armored goblin.

Time flew by, and three days passed quickly.

The setting sun, like blood, spilled across the broken walls and ruins.

Mia Qinghui flew slowly in the low sky, below which lay the ruins of an abandoned village.

Her pale pink lips were slightly pursed, and her dark eyes calmly swept over the scattered fragments of stone armor on the ground.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of soil mixed with dark green blood!

Recently, the number of Stone Goblins seems to have actually increased as she and the Knight Commander hunt them.

They might even form strongholds with hundreds of members, including several blue-quality stone goblins!

The village ruins beneath her feet were the seventeenth stone goblin stronghold she had cleared in the past three days.

The hem of the Divine Robe swept across the breeze, and the silver-gray divine patterns gleamed faintly in the setting sun.

The Divine Hell Saintess Mia did not rush forward. She gently picked up a drop of blood that had not yet dried, enveloped in white light, and sent it flying to her eyes.

A barely perceptible ripple flickered across his dark eyes.

Not right.

The stone armor fragments here are too well-preserved; there isn't a single intact corpse.

A stone goblin has secretly escaped!

Even more bizarrely, the remaining power of fear and faith in the air was abnormally thin, as if someone had deliberately used the power of rock and soil to cover up the traces.

Just then, the earth began to tremble violently without warning.

"Let's do it!"

A rough roar exploded from all directions simultaneously.

In an instant, hundreds of pre-buried spikes suddenly shot out from the ground, the sharp rock pillars accompanied by a whistling wind, forming a death cage with a diameter of fifty meters, sealing off all of Mia's escape routes.

Behind the broken walls on both sides, thirty-six elite stone goblins clad in polished granite heavy armor leaped out simultaneously!

The giant rock axes in their hands gleamed with a cold light, forming three impenetrable walls of axes that slowly advanced toward Mia in a triangular formation.

On the high ground, two stone-armored goblin shamans, their bodies entwined with rock patterns, simultaneously raised their totem staffs inlaid with obsidian.

They chanted incantations, and the rock patterns around them lit up wildly. Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and countless boulders the size of millstones rained down from the heavens with earth-shattering force, crashing down on the figures below.

This was a meticulously planned and deadly attack by the Stone Goblin clan.

Without any probing, they went all out from the start.

The elite stone goblins advanced in a triangular formation, with the front row holding heavy rock shields, the rear row wielding giant axes, and elite spearmen on both sides holding giant rock javelins.

The two shamans, one on the left and one on the right, were responsible for ranged suppression and trap triggering, respectively, and their cooperation was seamless.

In their view, even the most powerful hunter would only face certain death if caught in such a trap.

A cruel smile flashed in the eyes of the elite stone goblin leader.

He could almost see the woman before him being smashed into a pulp by a boulder and torn apart by a giant axe.

If they kill her, they can report back to the king and perhaps even receive a reward, and be promoted to military commander in the future.

However, the smile on his face froze the next second.

Faced with the overwhelming attack, Mia didn't even raise a hand.

A thin, silvery-white film of light quietly spread around her, like the purest morning dew condensing.

Those spikes, powerful enough to pierce steel, instantly turned to dust upon impact with the light membrane.

The giant rock falling from the sky melted silently the instant it touched the light membrane, leaving not a single fragment behind.

Thirty-six giant rock axes struck the light membrane simultaneously, producing a deafening roar.

But the light membrane remained completely still, instead reflecting all the force back.

The elite goblins felt an irresistible force surge through them, their giant axes slipping from their grasp. Like kites with broken strings, they were sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the rock wall and spitting out mouthfuls of dark green blood.

"How is that possible?!"

On the high ground, a stone-armored goblin shaman cried out in alarm.

He couldn't believe his eyes. Their prized rock traps and boulder spells couldn't even break through the enemy's defenses.

"Don't panic! Her defense must have its limits! Spearmen! Fire a volley!"

Another shaman shouted sternly, slamming his totem staff heavily onto the ground.

Twelve giant stone spearmen simultaneously drew their specially made rock bows, and the giant rock spears were ready to be launched.

Each of these javelins weighs over 100 kilograms and, after being blessed by the shaman with earth and rock, is strong enough to penetrate three meters of rock.

"put!"

Twelve giant rock spears shot out simultaneously, like black lightning, whistling through the air as they hurtled toward Mia.

Mia slightly raised her eyes, and a ripple finally appeared in her dark eyes.

She gently raised her right hand, and a scarlet light gathered at her fingertips.

"The Great Dissociation Technique".

As the cold voice fell, a thin, hair-like crimson beam of light suddenly shot out.

The beam of light appeared slow, yet it was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it pierced the tip of the first spear.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any deafening roar.

The seemingly indestructible rock spear, as if all its skeleton had been removed, began to crumble and collapse little by little, starting from the spearhead.

Countless rock fragments fell in a flurry, eventually turning into a lifeless pile of rubble.

[Destruction and Plunder (Passive) Triggered! Destroy enemy Rock-based Spears, permanently increasing Divine Abomination Power by 0.01%! Current increase: 25.01%!]

Mia's fingertips twitched slightly, and the second, third—twelfth scarlet beam of light shot out in succession.

Without exception, all twelve spears turned to dust in mid-air.

The entire room fell silent.

All the stone-armored goblins stood frozen in place, their weapons nearly falling to the ground.

Their proud bravery and ranged attacks were easily defeated by the opponent's twelve beams of light.

This goes beyond their understanding of "powerful".

"Shield Formation! Advance!"

The elite leader roared hoarsely, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

The twenty-four surviving elite stone goblins quickly formed a tight shield formation, holding their heavy rock shields in front of them, and advanced towards Mia step by step.

Their steps were heavy and firm, each step leaving deep footprints on the ground.

There were no gaps between the rock shields, forming an indestructible rock barrier.

"Shaman! Summon the Earth Colossus!"

The two shamans simultaneously burned their own life essence, pouring all their power into the totem.

The earth cracked open again, and countless rocks and soil came together, coalescing into two giant rock and soil statues, each twelve meters tall.

The colossus's eyes gleamed crimson, and it charged toward Mia, brandishing its enormous stone fists.

This was their second wave of attack, and what they considered the safest and most effective killing move.

The rock giants are thick-skinned and incredibly strong, capable of wearing down an opponent's defenses.

The shield formation is responsible for finishing off the enemy; as soon as the opponent shows even the slightest weakness, it can completely kill them.

Mia watched silently as the colossal rock statues charged toward her and the slowly advancing shield formations, and whispered, "The grace of morning dew."

Golden morning light emanated from her body, illuminating the entire valley like the rising sun.

The morning light, though seemingly gentle, contained boundless destructive power.

The colossal rock formations at the forefront, upon contact with the morning light, melted rapidly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

evaporation.

Its stone body melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye; before the huge stone fist could even be swung, it had already turned into a wisp of green smoke.

[Destruction and Plunder (Passive) Triggered! Destroying an enemy Rock Colossus permanently increases the power of Divine Abomination by 0.1%! Current increase: 25.11%!]

As the second ray of dawn shone out, the second colossal rock statue followed in its predecessor's footsteps, instantly turning into dust.

The morning light continued to spread, surging towards the stone goblin's shield formation like a tide.

"Ah! My eyes!"

"It's so hot! It hurts!"

Screams echoed throughout the room.

The goblins, exposed to the morning light, felt as if their bodies were being scorched by fire, and their skin began to blister and fester.

The rock shields in their hands, illuminated by the morning light, cracked with a hissing sound at a visible speed.

Peeling off.

Even more terrifying was the boundless fear contained within that morning light.

All sorts of terrifying visions began to appear in the goblins' minds.

They saw themselves being torn apart by countless golden rays, saw their souls being dragged into an endless abyss, saw the entire...

A scene depicting the complete annihilation of the Stone Goblin race.

[Fear Influence Triggered! The enemy is gripped by extreme fear, and the power of faith is temporarily increased to 300%!]

The Stone Goblin never expected this.

Before achieving an overwhelming numerical advantage.

The so-called superior forces were nothing more than cannon fodder and stepping stones for the Divine Abomination Saintess Mia to amplify her divine power.

This is tantamount to them handing over the rope that would hang themselves to a powerful enemy!

Mia stood quietly in the center of the morning light, like a true deity descending.

Her divine robes fluttered in the wind, the silver-gray divine patterns gleaming.

Her innocent face was expressionless, yet it instilled a deep-seated despair in all the goblins.

"Retreat—retreat now!"

"She's not human! She's a devil!"

The goblins were completely devastated.

They dropped their weapons and ran away.

However, they cannot escape.

Mia gently raised her left hand, and a silver beam of moonlight descended from the sky, landing precisely on the fleeing goblin horde.

Wherever the pillar of moonlight passed, everything was utterly destroyed. Rocks turned to dust, and the earth became scorched earth.

A dozen or so slow-moving goblins were completely vaporized by the moonlight pillar before they could even scream, leaving not a trace behind.

[Destruction and Plunder (Passive) Triggered! Destroying enemy Stone Goblins permanently increases Divine Abomination Power by 0.05%! Current increase: 25.16%!]

On the high ground, two stone-armored goblin shamans stood pale-faced.

They knew that today's ambush had completely failed. If they didn't leave now, they would all die here.

"We can't let this go! Activate the Earth's Wrath Totem! Even if we can't kill her, we'll make her suffer!"

"A shaman said through gritted teeth, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes."

He suddenly plunged the totem staff into his chest, dug out his heart, and pressed it onto the totem.

The other shaman did the same without hesitation.

"With my flesh and blood, I offer myself as a sacrifice to the god of the earth! Awaken the slumbering rage and destroy all invaders!"

As their incantation fell, the entire valley began to shake violently.

The ground cracked open into deep, bottomless ravines, from which dark red magma gushed forth.

Countless venomous spikes rose from the ground, creating a deathly wasteland.

A faint divine aura emanated from the totem. This was the last trump card of the Stone Armor Goblin clan, a trace of power left behind by the earth god they had worshipped for generations.

However, what they didn't know was that this trace of divinity was precisely Mia's most fatal weakness.

Mia looked at the totem that exuded a faint divine aura, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

"Sacrifice to divine grace."

She uttered four words softly.

A black and gold beam of evil light shot out from her hand, striking the Earth's Wrath Totem with pinpoint accuracy, like a venomous snake.

The moment the evil light touched the totem, the faint earth divinity dissipated as if it had encountered its nemesis.

The light on the totem quickly dimmed, the gushing lava stopped flowing, and the cracked earth began to heal.

"No

The two shamans let out desperate screams.

The blasphemous power of divine grace seeped into their bodies through the totem.

The rock patterns on their bodies instantly turned black, and then began to crumble inch by inch.

The faint divine power they had communicated with was completely disintegrated and destroyed under the corrosive influence of the evil light.

A few seconds later, the two shamans turned into two pools of black ashes, which drifted away in the wind.

[Divine Prayer in effect! Destroying enemy Earth Divinity permanently increases Divine Abomination Power by 0.5%! Current amplification:]

25.66%!

[Destruction and Plunder (Passive) Triggered! Destroying an enemy's False God Totem permanently increases the strength of Divine Abomination Power by 0.2%! Current increase: 25.86%!]

Mia withdrew her hand, and the golden morning light slowly faded away.

The valley was in a mess.

Goblin corpses and broken stone armor were everywhere, and dark green blood stained the ground.

Only seven lucky elite stone goblins managed to escape into the depths of the forest during the chaos.

They ran without looking back, not daring to stop for even a moment.

That golden morning light has become a permanent nightmare in their hearts.

The moment they close their eyes, that dazzling light appears in their minds, making them tremble and break out in a cold sweat.

From then on, the seven surviving stone goblins, along with the others who escaped, all contracted a strange, incurable disease.

They are terrified of any strong light!

Even the light of the silver moon could suffocate them and fill them with despair.

They could only hide in the dark cave, never daring to take another step out.

Mia did not chase after the escaped goblins.

To her, these ant-like beings were not worth her time at all.

She looked down at her palm, feeling the surging divine power within her, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Destruction brings power, and fear nourishes faith.

This is the true meaning of divine evil.

She raised her head and looked in the direction of the Stone Goblin's stronghold, a faint golden light gleaming in her dark eyes.

"It's time to report back to the Knight Commander."

"He'll probably be very happy this time!"

The Holy Maiden Mia's lips curved into a beautiful smile.

The hem of the Divine Evil's Holy Robe fluttered in the wind as her figure gradually disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun.

All that remained was a desolate ruin.
