Chapter 836: Chapter 413: Blessings of the Fairy Princess_2

At the second layer’s first step, there were still the familiar three paths, and Mu You waited until it was ten past one and then punctually chose ’left’.

[You have encountered a hero!]

[Your Omniscient Crystal automatically provided feedback on the opponent’s detailed information: serial number 1, Priest of the Moon, Divine Power 6, God’s Defense 3, HP 71/71. Divine Arts: Moon Power LV4, Moon Protection LV4, Lunar Eclipse LV3. Highest floor reached: 40, ranking progress: 1st place.]

He indeed ran into him smoothly!

However, Mu You was amazed upon seeing the displayed attributes of the opponent, who he had sniped down at the 39th floor yesterday, now the clearance floors had turned to forty. It seemed that the opponent had again spent life to advance through the tower, probably aiming to claim the rewards of the 40th floor to add more chips for today’s duel.

What surprised Mu You even more was the opponent’s identity and the levels of his Divine Arts—the identity had already been promoted to a Priest, and the levels of Divine Arts were a terrifying 443... This meant that the opponent had entered with the initial Divinity bonuses, and at least twice, a hundred points of Divinity!

Generally, the optimal use of initial Divinity is to save it to buy items from merchants at the second layer, but the opponent clearly threw caution to the wind for this duel, spending all his Divinity at the start, creating the strongest early form!

If they were to start fighting now, under the enhancement of high-level Moon Power and Moon Protection, his Divine Offense and Defense would reach a terrifying 14-11, completely overpowering Mu You in attack and defense.

It must be said, the opponent’s preparation for the battle was indeed quite comprehensive—any other player seeing this disparity in attributes would probably be stunned.

Fortunately, Mu You still had the God Slayer title and the Shadow Fur Ball as his trump cards. Particularly the effect of the God Slayer, akin to having an extra tier of suppression, could still make the fight winnable, evening things out.

After examining the opponent’s attributes, Mu You backtracked time and swiftly swapped his equipment.

[You removed the Omniscient Crystal, the Moon Goddess’s Protection.]

[You equipped the Moonlight Mark, the Moonlight Spikes.]

Having switched to all offense-oriented equipment, Mu You then commenced the battle.

...

[You encountered the 2459th hero, Moon Hero, current HP: 41/41.]

On the other side, Isaac saw the attributes notification for 2459 in the game and first froze for a moment, then was overjoyed.

It’s still a hero!

This indicated that the opponent had terrible luck in the first layer and never chose any initial Divinity in several tier rewards, preventing any sort of promotion.

"This is secure!"

Isaac immediately felt greatly assured.

Priest vs. Hero, attributes, equipment, Divine Arts, an all-around crush—how could he lose? Tell me, how could he lose?

Isaac confidently chose ’attack’.

[After a brief silence, both of you opted to launch an attack on each other!]

[The Moon Scepter triggered, locking the lunar phase of this battle as: Full Moon.]

[Under the enhancement of the Full Moon, the abilities of both sides were greatly boosted...]

[...After a very fierce battle, you were ultimately counter-killed by the 2459th hero in the last moments!]

[You have died, all enhancements obtained within the tower have been reclaimed...]

"..."

Seeing the last prompt, Isaac almost thought time had reversed, and he was back to yesterday.

After being stunned for a long time, he finally came to his senses and roared, "How is this possible?"

He truly couldn’t believe it. Priest against Hero, a gap of two tiers, two more Divine Arts, one more piece of equipment, yet he was still counter-killed? How was it done? Could it be that the opponent had more than one Divine Artifact? Otherwise, he couldn’t comprehend what else could bridge such a huge gap.

Moreover, if it were just a normal counter-kill, he might have thought the opponent was cheating, and he wouldn’t have been too upset, but it was another "Ultimate Kill"...

Isaac almost spat blood, Ultimate meant their power was still very close—either could have won, but why did luck always side with the opponent at such crucial moments?

...

This ’Ultimate Kill’ was, of course, specifically rolled by Mu You.

This time, while he held an advantage in the power disparity between him and the opponent, wins outweighed losses, and he often achieved ’relatively easy kills’.

Mu You specifically chose an ’Ultimate Kill’ outcome to maintain some confidence in his opponent, to avoid discouraging him too much so that he wouldn’t quit playing with him.

Although he and his opponent had signed a contract, it wasn’t at the cost of their lives; after all, it was just a game, not worth dying for. The penalty for breach was 1000 years of life, not insignificant, but there was still a possibility of breach.

By giving his opponent a bit of hope, making him think he was just unlucky and still had a chance of winning, Mu You aimed to avoid his opponent giving up entirely.

At that moment in the game, Mu You had already rolled out the Moon Goddess’s Eye from the spoils and decisively equipped it!

[You have equipped the Moon Goddess’s Eye!]

[Simultaneously equipped with two Divine Artifacts, you possess advantages other heroes can hardly fathom. Make full use of this advantage to rescue the princess and defeat the Demon King...]

Mu You continued on his journey.

Next, as usual, he encountered the Crow Merchant, and since Mu You currently only had two pieces of Divinity left, he walked past without stopping.

[Seeing your frugal appearance, the merchant’s enthusiasm instantly faded, he scoffed secretly and called you a ’pauper’, then packed up his bundle and left the vicinity to find the next hero.]
