The Peak Players Were All Far from Simple

The laws transformed into a holy light barrier, completely encircling the smoke-filled area. As a Hunter running wildly outside the influence of the laws, Li Wufang once again drew his bow and fired countless Arrows of Punishment towards the center of the smoke with all his might.

The Investigator decided against interrogation and arrest; faced with such a suspect, he decided to execute him on the spot!

Just then, Cheng Shi and his two companions arrived at the scene. When they saw what was in front of them, their expressions became even more solemn.

The area that was Annihilation was so vast that the huge commotion attracted the attention of almost the entire town. Countless people peered into the streets and alleys, some panicked, some curious, and some even recklessly thought that something good had fallen into the dust and wanted to go in and search for it.

Unfortunately, these audacious profiteers were all kept out by the wall of holy light formed by the law.

The battle on the battlefield had clearly reached a fever pitch, and judging from Li Wufang's posture, he obviously wanted to fight to the death.

The three didn't know what had happened here and couldn't comment too much on the matter, but Wu Cun had destroyed an entire block, and this kind of dragging down the team would only force players who wanted to win the Trials to choose sides.

"The biggest obstacle is the variable. This time I stand on [Order], and perhaps the prophecy of [Destiny] is just around the corner."

As he spoke, Wang Mou pulled out several palm-sized mechanical rats from his spatial storage. These rats had only alloy skeletons and no flesh or blood. As soon as they landed, terrifying red light burst from their empty eye sockets, and they made chirping noises as they rushed madly into the smoke and dust.

Soon, the sound of an explosion rang out from the smoke and dust, as loud as thunder, no less than the roar just now.

Made by a mechanic!?

So he was a Scholar in the Department of Mechanical Engineering?

Cheng Shi was slightly taken aback, and then he thought of the Scholar's lies. If he really was a Scholar, then what else could he lie about?

Name?

Lying about a name?

But "Wang Mou" is already a code name. Even if you're lying, why do you have to use a code name?

This matter was definitely not simple. Cheng Shi didn't understand it, but he didn't have time to delve into it. He looked at the center of the battlefield and sensed that the power of [Annihilation] was gathering frantically. This Ember Annihilator didn't seem to be injured. Not only that, she even wanted to prepare another big one for her "teammates" on the outside.

Cheng Shi's expression turned slightly unpleasant. He thought to himself that the timing of the attack was really bad. He had just taken off his mask and lost the buff of being Today's Warrior, turning back into Fate Weaver. As a result, a battle broke out at this very moment.

However, since he couldn't help, he could at least act as a support. So he took a half step back and looked at Qin Xin, the main combatant in front of him, but he didn't expect that Qin Xin didn't seem to be planning to move either.

The Mirror Walker stepped in front of Cheng Shi, and shook his head with a smile after feeling Cheng Shi's gaze.

"Clues are not important, Trials are not important, scores are not important..."

Our friends are the most important.

The Investigator and Scholar are more than capable of handling this; all I can do is prevent our Priest friend from being affected by the Annihilation before the Blind Man returns.

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent force of Annihilation, like a tsunami, erupted from the smoke, rushing indiscriminately in all directions. Judging from this, Wu Cun seemed to want to drag everyone down with him to Annihilation.

Even herself!

"!!!"

"This is bad, let's retreat!"

Feeling the terrifying power of Annihilation crashing down upon him, Wang Mou's expression darkened, and he vanished from Cheng Shi and the other man's sight. His speed was so great that even Qin Xin, a warrior, was slightly taken aback. He raised an eyebrow and said:

"It seems that Scholar are not Scholar after all."

Indeed, Cheng Shi also realized that one's identity is hardest to conceal in times of crisis. This Scholar probably never imagined that what he came to join in was not a spectacle but a cataclysmic destruction.

So he immediately dodged away from the battlefield, and as for the method he used to do so...

Shadow Shuttle!

This is no Erudite Scholar; he is clearly a Doctor Assassin!

This Believer of "Truth," who pulled out a tool made by a mechanic, is a true Assassin!

But regardless of whether the Scholar is Assassin or not, shouldn't we also temporarily avoid confrontation?

Cheng Shi wasn't too worried, because he had already scattered countless Dice along the way, and could move to any place he wanted at this moment. It was only because Qin Xin hadn't made any rash moves that he didn't choose to leave with Wang Mou.

He always felt that the founder of the Passing the Flame was too calm and must have some kind of confidence. If he left first, he would become a ridiculous Clown in the eyes of others. So he slowed down and decided to use his talent to leave at the last second when he had to go.

Normally, the cautious Cheng Shi wouldn't do this, but with Qin Xin taking the lead today, he didn't want his image in the eyes of the Fire Keeper to be greatly damaged because of an "Annihilation".

The power of Annihilation roared and almost swept right up to him. The calm Memory player in front of Cheng Shi finally moved. He chuckled, drew his slender longsword, and drew a circle in front of him. Then, a mirror-like surface, like a deep-sea gem, instantly appeared in front of him. The raging Storm of Annihilation seemed to find an outlet in that instant, and the waves of Annihilation that had surged in all directions all turned back and rushed madly towards the gem mirror.

Behind the mirror lay some unknown space. All they saw was the Storm generated by Divine Power being sucked in, and then a [Annihilation] tsunami suddenly vanished before their eyes.

It's safe now.

Is that all?

Cheng Shi was stunned. He stared wide-eyed at Qin Xin's back, his gaze sweeping over the other's shoulder and then back to the mirror that shimmered with icy blue light. He was utterly shocked.

What kind of strength is this?

This founder of the Passing the Flame, who was still holding Yadelik in his other hand, simply drew a circle with one hand and resolved the calamity of "Annihilation" that had terrified Wang Mou.

As the violent [Annihilation] power disappeared, everyone in the arena looked in Qin Xin's direction.

The dust and smoke had long since been Annihilation, and even the broken walls and ruins in the center of the arena had been completely destroyed. Reality was left unscathed but torn apart everywhere, with Void Rift all over the place. Howling winds of Nothingness blew out from them, lowering the temperature of the entire area by several degrees.

Li Wufang stood on a distant rooftop with a gloomy expression. His sharp, hawk-like eyes scanned the area before him again and again, but the figure of the Ember Annihilator had already vanished.

This terrifying Annihilation Storm didn't Annihilation anyone, but it seemed to have "Annihilation" the caster alone.

But Li Wufang knew that the ending was not what it seemed. As for where Wu Cun went, he would have to ask the Mirror Walker had settled everything, Qin Xin!

He looked at Qin Xin. At the same time, Wang Mou, who had left the battlefield earlier to seek refuge, also flashed back. He looked at the blue gemstone mirror in front of Qin Xin with surprise and exclaimed in a low voice:

"[The Dreamless Mirror]?"

Are you Still Like in a Dream?
