Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

Chapter 94: A Comprehensive Upgrade! The Harvest After Victory!

"……boom!!!"

Lightning and flames exploded wildly within the World Eater's body.

Its body suddenly swelled up from the middle.

Numerous scales ruptured, and purple fluid gushed from the wounds.

It felt like being torn apart from the inside by an invisible giant hand.

World Devourer

【HP: 8064】

"It's done!"

Lin You, looking disheveled, got up from the ground, panting heavily.

He was knocked away by the World Eater during the attack.

The magic barrier drained nearly 7% of his magic power.

But that one shot just now instantly wiped out nearly half of the World Eater's life!

This is the miraculous strike resulting from piercing attacks, area damage, and critical hits!

This attack blasted the World Eater's body in two.

The front and back halves crashed heavily to the ground at the same time, kicking up clouds of dust.

"...You won?"

Xia Qi's voice came from behind, tinged with uncertainty.

Lin You did not answer. He stared at the two still writhing remains of the body, his pupils suddenly contracting.

"No, it's not over yet!"

The flesh and blood at the broken joints of the two severed bodies writhed wildly.

The broken ends are then resealed, reshaped, and allowed to grow again.

A few seconds later, the two worms, which had shrunk to almost half their original size but were still terrifying, regained their ability to move.

World Eater (Split)

[Level: 10 (Derivative)]

【Life: 4032】

Both split bodies simultaneously raised their heads and let out angry hiss.

Then they charged towards Lin You and Xia Qi respectively!

"One for each person!"

Lin You stood up and gripped the musket tightly.

He glanced at the mana bar—less than 300 points left.

But he didn't hesitate, he pushed off with his feet and rushed to the left.

The split entity followed closely behind, its massive body carving deep furrows into the ground.

Lin You ran a few dozen steps, then suddenly stopped, turned over, and raised his gun.

Boom! ...

Two elemental strikes, each consuming 100 points of magic, instantly caused four explosions.

It directly held the World Eater split off from its pursuit in place!

Lin You's magic power decreased at a visible rate.

"One more shot!"

Lin You gritted her teeth and poured the last bit of magic power into the musket.

The bullet, enveloped in a blinding white flash of lightning, flew out and pierced directly through the head of the split entity.

"Bang!!"

The fragmented remains of the split body crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

You have defeated the "Eater of Worlds (Split)".

Lin You propped herself up on her knees, wiped away her sweat, and turned to look in Xia Qi's direction.

Then he froze.

A thick, crimson mist of blood enveloped Xia Qi, like a semi-transparent veil, lifting her to float in mid-air.

【Death Veil: The core skill of the Necromancer class, summoning a veil of "death" to descend, converting all health points into life force. During the veil's duration, the user will not die and will gain new skills.】

After receiving the blessing of the veil, Shakky now wielded a huge scythe, looking incredibly imposing.

"It seems I don't need to help anymore...?"

Lin You observed for a few seconds, her expression somewhat strange.

Because he discovered that even with the veil protecting her, Shakky was still being chased by the World Eater.

A few minutes later, Xia Qi finally spotted Lin You watching from the sidelines.

"Big brother, come help me quickly!"

"I thought you could handle it."

"I have no skills in this state, I can only use normal attacks... Stop looking, come help me, okay!"

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Lin You was actually recovering his magic power. He glanced at his own condition and raised his gun to aim.

boom!!!

The last split entity finally collapsed completely under the combined attack of the two.

The massive body collapsed with a crash, creating a huge crater in the ground.

Xia Qi breathed a sigh of relief, removed the blood-red veil covering her body, revealing her deathly pale face.

"Finally done! I thought..."

Before she could finish speaking, a barrage of notification messages popped up in front of both of them at the same time.

You have defeated "The Devourer of Worlds (World Boss)"!

[Experience points +5000!]

[Level upgraded to Level 16!]

A dark golden light burst forth from Lin You's body.

Xia Qi also shone with an upgraded light, and it was even more dazzling than Lin You's!

She seems to have completed her career advancement mission, with her level advancing by leaps and bounds.

Ultimately, I stayed at around level 12.

"call……"

Lin You let out a long sigh and looked around.

The Earth's core was in complete disarray.

Everywhere were the remains of the World Eater, their scales scattered across the ground.

The air was filled with a pungent, putrid odor.

But both of them survived.

Not only did they survive, they won.

[Regional Announcement: The Guardian of the 10th Floor of the Earth, "The Devourer of Worlds," has been defeated!]

The Corrupted Lands have temporarily gained peace.

The seal of order has stabilized.

The moment the announcement popped up, their private messages exploded.

The message notification sounds kept ringing almost non-stop.

Lin You and Xia Qi exchanged a glance.

"...Shall we look at the spoils first?"

"it is good."

The two walked to the remains of the World Eater.

Two dark purple lights were slowly coalescing, eventually transforming into two heavy treasure bags.

Lin You reached out and grabbed one of them.

Xia Qi also reached out and grabbed the other one at the same time.

You have opened the "World Eater's Treasure Bag"

[Obtained: Shadow Scales x60]

[Received: Shadow Magic Ore x180]

[Received: 15 Small Healing Potions]

[Obtained: Worm Scarf]

[Obtained: World Devourer's Token x1]

[Obtained: Corruption Powder Recipe x1]

Lin You's gaze quickly swept over the list of spoils.

Shadow Scales and Shadow Magic Ore are clearly materials from the World Eater, which can be used to craft equipment.

There are already enough small healing potions in this Lin You warehouse.

The worm scarf, judging from the name, should be an accessory.

……

Worm Scarf

Grade: 10 (Purple)

[Requirement: Player level > 10]

[Effect: Gain 17% damage reduction on hit]

……

"nice one!"

Lin You gave it a good review.

The effect of this accessory is quite simple and straightforward.

The given values are very generous, directly increasing damage reduction significantly.

Moreover, it also works after Lin You activates the magic barrier.

This can be considered a way to save some magic power.

Lin You put away the worm scarf and continued to examine the other finds in the treasure bag.

……

[Proof of the World Devourer]

[Effect: Proof of defeating the Guardian of the 10th level of the Earth's core. Can be used directly to increase the maximum accessory slot by 1. Only effective once.]

[Additional Information: This item can be sold to the recycling shop for 10 gold coins]

……

"Increase the maximum number of accessory slots?!"

Seeing the effect of the World Devourer's Proof, Lin You used it on the spot without saying a word.

Your accessory slots have been increased to 4.

"That's good, with this, at least we've broken even."

Lin You casually placed the newly acquired worm scarf into the newly added accessory slot.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the "Corruption Powder Recipe".

[Corruption Powder: Ebony Stone x1, Undead Bone x1, Corpse Oil x1, Requires Alchemy Table]

[Note: This powder possesses corrupting power; a small amount is sufficient to open a temporary breach leading to the 11th level of the Earth's core.]

These are the items needed for the first route of the Breakthrough mission.

Lin You looked at Xia Qi.

"What about over there?"

Xia Qi opened her treasure bag and quickly browsed through it as well.

"Shadow Scales and Demon Ore, similar to yours."

"Proof of the World Devourer, and—"

"The formula for purifying powder".

Lin You raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sure enough.

Two routes, two recipes, both produced from the treasure bag of the World Eater.

He obtained the Corruption Powder, while Shakky obtained the Purification Powder.

"Put it away first, we'll talk about it later."
