Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 554 - 269: Use Mamba Iron Elbow on Him_4

The effect of the Origami House is extremely powerful; it can serve as a group of substitutes for the Painter, causing chaos all over the world on his behalf;

it is also his safe haven, as the Origami House can isolate cause and effect. As long as he restrains himself, even if Lu Langfeng’s Paperman stands face-to-face with Wu Chang, with Wu Chang’s terrifying Inspiration, he cannot detect any anomalies;

it is relying on these two types of Power that he has been able to continuously surveil Wu Chang, playing him in the palm of his hand.

Even if Wu Chang notices something amiss, his attack would merely hit the Paperman conjured by the Origami House, unable to harm his true self in the slightest.

Besides being an auxiliary Item, the Origami House is also straightforward in its attack Domain. Its unfolded Origami Domain, using any of its Skills, is enough to overpower even a Realm of Reason expert like You Feipeng.

Beyond its various wonderful uses, the Origami House also possesses its most formidable effect: the Substitute Death effect!

Every five days, the Origami House creates a Paperman, with a limit of 10. Each substitute can endure one hit in place of the Painter.

Every three sub-plane copies or every 45 days in reality, the Painter can use one Paperman in the house to substitute his death once.

The Substitute Death effect is not like the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp, which simply immunizes against a lethal hit; it is a complete Substitute Death, swapping the Painter’s true self with a Paperman, summoning the Painter back to the Origami House’s location, thoroughly escaping danger.

It is by relying on the ability of the Origami House that he was able to openly confront the Four Major Organizations five years ago when he had just reached Level 30, even forcing the White Tower to admit defeat.

He became famous from that battle, and while it felt satisfying, it also attracted particular attention from a troublesome group that pursued him relentlessly, leading to multiple conflicts.

It is for this reason that he dared not formally ascend into the Realm of Reason before making thorough preparations.

Thump, thump, thump.

After three knocks on the door, a figure dressed in a maid outfit, composed entirely of large blocks of color, walked in and said:

"Master, we have gathered new intelligence."

Painter: "Speak later."

The Origami House can be considered an almost perfect Item, its only flaw being that its true form is too fragile and must be carefully protected.

The Painter is certainly aware of this, so he always keeps the Origami House in a safe place. Where he resides, there is not a single living being other than him; everything around him is a creation of his Skills, ensuring the absolute safety of the Origami House.

This is his confidence; Wu Chang, no matter how high his Attributes, as long as he can’t find the Painter’s true self, how can he harm him?

In the Emotion Art Gallery, Wu Chang’s iron elbow smashes into Lu Langfeng’s face, the abnormal Status from the iron elbow traveling directly along the aura to the Painter’s true self.

Sitting in front of the Origami House, the Painter sensed Wu Chang’s ability, a surprised expression emerging on his face.

"To directly strike the true self along the aura, such a peculiar ability."

Wu Chang is notorious, having risen too swiftly; the Painter, although inadvertently discovering Wu Chang’s true identity, knows little about him.

This kind of uniquely mechanistic unknown Skill, he dares not rashly engage it, choosing to use Lu Langfeng’s Paperman to shield himself from this damage.

As the elbow strike is about to hit the Painter, it is drawn by the Origami House, the invisible force of the elbow strike taking a turn, striking the Lu Langfeng Paperman inside the Origami House.

In the next moment, under the Painter’s bewildered gaze, the Origami House is first balled up, the surface of the Origami House manifesting various wrinkles and negative statuses, with the connection to the Painter temporarily severed. The Painter attempts to salvage the situation, but he cannot operate it.

Then, under an inexplicable force, a large tear is ripped open, followed by flickering electric lights on the surface, as the whole Origami House catches fire.

"Title: Blasphemer"

"Title Effect: When equipped with this Title, any target the Player attacks that possesses Divinity will suffer additional damage, with the damage directly reaching its origin."

When the Blasphemer is triggered, it disregards any obstacles, directly striking the target’s origin; it was precisely with this effect that Wu Chang remotely elbowed Mercury in the underground sanctuary.

The Painter possesses Divinity; when he controls Lu Langfeng’s Paperman, striking Lu Langfeng is seen as striking the Painter, triggering the effect of the Blasphemer.

When the Painter chose to use a Paperman to block this damage, the Skill determined the strike to be hitting the Origami House, and the direct power of origin from the Blasphemer also turned into a strike at the Origami House’s origin.

Once the Blasphemer effect is triggered, it does not disappear; this is the value of a colorful Title.

The Power from Mamba Iron Elbow is not particularly strong; had it hit some other sturdy Item, it might have only resulted in minor damage. However, the Origami House’s weakness is its fragile true form.

And this leads to the current scene.

Watching the burning Origami House before him, the Painter’s defenses were broken.

"No!"
