Chapter 1141: Chapter 516: Walking the Dog Strategy_3

Thankfully, the Ghost Captain and the Son of Heaven had managed to keep the Titan’s aggression stable, posing no immediate threat to them.

The three of them were prepared for a prolonged battle, but unexpectedly, the Crimson Lotus Girl, who had been silently dealing damage, suddenly spoke up.

"Everyone, please step back a bit, I’m about to use an area attack."

"Oh?"

The trio was surprised, but didn’t think too much about it, assuming she was about to unleash some ultimate move, and instinctively retreated a few spaces.

The next moment, black energy surged from the sickle in Lin Xue’s character’s hands, sweeping over the Swamp Demoness with a vast expanse of dark energy.

Accompanied by the fierce flash of the blade, the Swamp Demoness, still with 60% of her health, suddenly screamed in agony, her head drooping down, and her body’s leaves and vines rapidly withering, she collapsed to the ground, voiceless.

The moment the Swamp Demoness fell, a string of question marks and exclamations popped up in the forum live thread.

"What happened?" asked some who were clueless about the situation.

"The Grim Reaper burst forth! She took away the last 62% of the Swamp Demoness’s life in one go!"

"How is that possible?"

"I thought it was impossible too, but that’s the fact; so many people saw it here..."

"That’s absurd..."

"Was the Grim Reaper always this powerful?"

...

This sudden turn of events sparked a heated debate in the thread.

At the scene, Solomon, Jiu You, and Wuying were also shocked at first, but soon realized something.

From their chat perspective, the Swamp Demoness’s health hadn’t hit zero; she had died with 62% health left, which meant that the Crimson Lotus Girl hadn’t killed the Swamp Demoness by normal means.

"Was it soul damage?" Wuying was the first to guess the truth.

The other two suddenly realized, seeing that the Grim Reaper had been targeting the soul of the Swamp Demoness all along, following a completely different strategy from theirs.

No matter how strong the Swamp Demoness’s regenerative ability was, it could only regenerate health, not the soul. The apparent 62% remaining health of the Swamp Demoness meant her soul might already have been on the brink of death, thus allowing the Crimson Lotus Girl to burst forth and reap her in one go.

Understanding this, the trio felt considerably relieved.

However, just because they understood it didn’t mean the average viewer could grasp such a complex interaction.

From the perspective of the average viewer, all they saw was the Grim Reaper easily killing the Swamp Demoness in one burst.

At least judging from this battle’s outcome, the Grim Reaper’s performance far surpassed the other three deities.

"Is it over already? That was faster than expected..."

Mu You looked at the message from Lin Xue, frowning slightly.

For now, the refining of the corpse of the Titan was not yet complete, lacking the last few seconds.

And the Titan on the opposite side was charging at him again.

The last time, the Titan had grown suspicious and lingered on their side for a long time before finally being lured away by the Son of Heaven, and this time, seeing the almost vanishing corpse, the Titan was likely not to be fooled again.

So, the best tactic was to endure these last few seconds and complete the refining of the Divine Bone and Blood; otherwise, it would be a pity to reach 99% and have to give up.

With this thought, Mu You decided to go all out.

[You have cast the Divine Art "Eye of Heaven".]

[You have cast the Divine Art "Order Guardian".]

[The charging Titan soon entered the visual range of the Eye of Heaven.]

[The Eye of Heaven locked onto the moving Titan, struck it with a bolt of lightning, and added a layer of Order’s Lock to the Titan.]

[Upon detecting the presence of Order’s Lock, the Order Guardian automatically moved to attack the Titan.]

[...Eye of Heaven struck the Titan with lightning and added another layer of Order’s Lock.]

[The Titan retaliated against the Order Guardian, automatically receiving a layer of Order’s Lock...]

...

The Eye of Heaven would not attack the Order Guardian, Mu You stayed put refining the Divine Bone, also unaffected by attacks, while the Titan, taking a few steps forward, was consistently blasted, quickly accumulating several layers of Order’s Lock.

Mu You had thought this would keep the Titan subdued for a while, but the Titan’s reaction was much more aggressive than he had anticipated.

[Continuously struck by lightning, the Titan, in rage, suddenly leaped high, grabbed the mid-air Eye of Heaven, and with force, tore it into pieces...]

[The Titan landed, and in three moves, twisted the Order Guardian’s body into a pretzel, tossing it aside.]

[The Order Guardian automatically vanished, and with no more obstacles, the Titan charged straight at you.]

[While charging, the Order Guardian’s arms fully burst with power, glowing red, and after tensing for several seconds, it forcibly broke the outermost Order’s Lock. Current Order’s Lock remaining: 9 layers...]

...

"This is too fierce..."

Mu You watched, his eyelids twitching, fitting for a Nine Stars Titan, unbeknownst to him whether the star level suppression was too high or if his Divine Arts level was too low, even the Order’s Locks could be forcibly broken by the opponent...

This made it nearly impossible to instantly kill the opponent by stacking Order’s Locks.

Fortunately, thanks to the delay caused by the Eye of Heaven and the Order Guardian, Mu You finally completed the refining of the God’s Corpse.

[Divine Race corpse refining complete; you obtained Divine Bone*1, Divine Blood*1, Divine Crystals*405.]

Besides the Divine Bone and Blood, he had even refined over 400 Divine Crystals.

A Nine Stars creature’s divinity upon death certainly would not be just this little, but this Titan had been dead for many years, and most of its divinity had naturally dissipated over the years exposed to the elements, so scraping up this much was already an unexpected gain.

Mu You didn’t have time to think further, taking control of his character to swiftly gather the spoils and hastily started to retreat.
