Heroes' Prison

Chapter 552 - 539: The Shocking Zhitian Shi

At this moment, the Martial Arts Team had only a few dozen knights left, all in the life-preserving state of the Knight’s Body, temporarily unkillable. Huang Yi couldn’t help but turn around, his main body, incarnation, and the Barbarian God all attacking Miyamoto Musashi with overwhelming force!

His main body’s Colossal Beast Transformation still had a few tens of seconds left, and since Miyamoto Musashi had already died once, the potion effect had worn off, he would definitely not be his match this time.

Indeed, just over twenty seconds later, Miyamoto Musashi was once again reduced to empty health by Huang Yi, with only a sliver of life left! All it would take was one more Heavy Judgment from Huang Yi and he would be shattered to pieces, unable to resurrect!

"God of Slaughter, I’m not playing with you anymore!" At that moment, Miyamoto Musashi gave Huang Yi a faint smile, then promptly chose to commit suicide, turning into a corpse.

Seeing this, Sharp Sword, Dragon Spike, the Pope, and others were all taken aback. Miyamoto Musashi’s suicide was for a simple reason, to prevent his corpse from being shattered by Huang Yi’s Heavy Judgment! Miyamoto Musashi wanted to preserve his own corpse, indicating he still wished to resurrect, but at this point, there were no priests from the Martial Arts Team left, only some struggling knights remained, which was quite puzzling.

Huang Yi, seeing this development, felt a heavy sense of foreboding. He stared intently at Miyamoto Musashi’s corpse and at those surviving knight players who owed their lives to the Knight’s Body, wondering what moves they would make next.

"Miyamoto Musashi committed suicide, and the Martial Arts Team is almost completely wiped out! The victory for Heroes’ Guild is beyond doubt now!"

At this time, countless Chinese players in the audience started cheering for the imminent victory of the Heroes’ Guild!

With Miyamoto Musashi dead, no one would be able to stand against Huang Yi. Once the several dozen knight players’ Knight’s Body ended, the Martial Arts Team would face a true wipeout, without a single survivor.

Then, Huang Yi’s Colossal Beast Transformation ended, and he reverted from the ferocious giant beast form back to human, his All Attributes buff vanishing instantly, bringing him back to his original strength.

Just at this moment, out of the group of knight players from the Martial Arts Team, a voluptuous female player, clad in a strapless armor, riding a white unicorn, slowly emerged, stepping into the sight of all the audience!

Her curvaceous figure, beautiful face, coupled with the sacred unicorn, gave off the impression of a maiden knight straight out of a fairytale, full of fantasy.

"Zhitian Shi looks so beautiful! But why is she stepping forward? Her strength is surely no match for God of Slaughter, right?" At this time, many spectators recognized this female player – it was none other than Zhitian Shi herself.

Zhitian Shi was one of the most famous beauties in The Second World, but her class was that of a knight, similar to Qin Shiyu, whose class was that of a warrior. They were both delicate women yet chose classes more typically associated with males, warriors and knights, rather than the commonly favored classes by female players like mages or priests, giving them an indescribable charm.

Seeing Zhitian Shi’s entrance, Huang Yi knew that the main act was about to start. The intelligence from No. 2 had specially mentioned Zhitian Shi. Now that she had stepped forward, the tide of battle was sure to change.

At the moment, Zhitian Shi was in the invulnerable state of the Knight’s Body, Huang Yi knew she posed a huge threat, but he could not kill her, only wait for the skill’s duration to end.

Quickly, Zhitian Shi, riding her unicorn, gracefully moved to the forefront of the Martial Arts Team. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Miyamoto Musashi’s corpse, and she immediately extended a delicate arm from beneath her armor, her slender fingers subtly flipping, holding something in her hand.

It was a stone, about the size of a fist, glowing faintly red. Many players in the audience had seen stones of this shape and size before –those were Energy Stones. But while common Energy Stones were black, this one was red.

Upon seeing this stone, Huang Yi’s pupils narrowed slightly. He recognized it, and he even had one himself, which he was reluctant to use – it was a Special Energy Stone that could provide an unlimited amount of Energy!

Energy Stones were very rare commodities to begin with, and Special Energy Stones were even rarer. Huang Yi had been in The Second World for nearly a year but had only obtained two Special Energy Stones! Before the match started, the intelligence from No. 2 mentioned that Miyamoto Musashi had more than one Special Energy Stone.

Clearly, the Special Energy Stone in Zhitian Shi’s hand had been deliberately left for her by Miyamoto Musashi. This showed that her Exclusive Skill must be extremely powerful, potent enough to alter the battle, making her virtually invincible with sufficient Energy Value.

Zhitian Shi clutched the Special Energy Stone tightly, gently waving her hand. Suddenly, a gray mist burst forth from her arm, slithering through the air like a snake toward Miyamoto Musashi’s corpse!

Huang Yi dared not neglect it, immediately assaulting the mist with various skills, but no matter what he attacked with, it couldn’t stop the mist’s advance.

Seeing this, Huang Yi carefully stepped back with his main body, positioning his incarnation and the Barbarian God in front of Miyamoto Musashi’s corpse, eager to see what Zhitian Shi’s methods were.

Quickly, Zhitian Shi’s released gray mist reached Miyamoto Musashi’s corpse, seamlessly seeping into it.

The next moment, under the intense gaze of ten billion spectators worldwide, Miyamoto Musashi’s fingers suddenly twitched!

He could barely, almost insignificantly, move a bit!

But this slight movement carried an immense significance, indicating that the battle was indeed subject to change, suspending the hearts of the entire audience once more. This final decisive battle was truly filled with uncertainties, and no one knew who would come out on top in the end.

Quickly, Miyamoto Musashi got to his feet, yet his expression was extremely dull, as if devoid of a soul, resembling nothing more than a corpse. This immediately drew the attention of countless meticulous spectators who wondered what exactly had happened.

At this moment, Huang Yi’s incarnation was by his side and immediately swung his axe at Miyamoto Musashi, wanting to test his response.

"Clang!" When the axe landed on Miyamoto Musashi, it made a sound as if striking something impervious, dealing no damage whatsoever to him!

However, this attack did provide Huang Yi with some basic information. At this time, Miyamoto Musashi had no Health Points and was in a very peculiar state. He had not been resurrected but seemed more like his corpse was being controlled.

This was the first time Huang Yi had witnessed a player’s corpse being manipulated like this, indicating that Zhitian Shi’s secret skill was indeed extraordinary, and its effects mysterious.

The players in the audience seats had all fallen silent, staring intently at Miyamoto Musashi and Zhitian Shi, waiting for the next change.

Sharp Sword, Dragon Spike, the Pope, and others held their breath as even with their extensive experience, they had never seen such a skill.

Soon, Miyamoto Musashi moved!

With stiff yet swift strides, he charged straight towards Zhitian Shi, rapidly reaching her side. But he did not stop, continuing forward, and collided firmly with her!

Afterwards, he seemed to merge into Zhitian Shi’s body as if becoming one with her!

Subsequently, Zhitian Shi’s delicate figure underwent a transformation. Her front still showed her feminine visage, but her back had morphed into the face of Miyamoto Musashi! She had become a Two-faced Person, looking extremely sinister, somewhat like the evil deities worshiped in some religions.

But what was even more astonishing came later! After fusing with the corpse of Miyamoto Musashi, Zhitian Shi’s Level skyrocketed from 93 to 196 in an instant!

Level!

This was the rank of Top-level Holy Domain, just a hair’s breadth away from the Heavenly Realm, a supremely strong level!

In an instant, the numerous spectators in the audience were stunned; this skill could absorb the level of an enemy. Miyamoto Musashi was Level 103, and Zhitian Shi was Level 93, adding up to exactly 196!

Billions of spectators stared in disbelief at Zhitian Shi, never imagining that this beauty, seemingly as decorative as a vase, had been hiding such a formidable move!

This kind of skill, if revealed, would definitely shock the world, yet Zhitian Shi had never shown it in front of others before. This indicated she had always concealed her true strength, fooling players around the globe!

Moreover, her relationship with Miyamoto Musashi must be extraordinary for her to reveal her true power for him!

However, what the audience could guess was far less astonishing than the truth. At this moment, Zhitian Shi was far more powerful than the spectators could imagine. After fusing with the corpse of Miyamoto Musashi, the Level Up was only an outward manifestation. The truly powerful aspect was that she had assimilated Miyamoto Musashi’s Attributes as well!

At this time, she was equivalent to her own attributes plus those of Miyamoto Musashi.

The reason she was even stronger than Miyamoto Musashi was because of this skill! It was her Class Exclusive Skill, requiring a large amount of Energy Value to use, allowing control over a player’s corpse, whether it be the corpse of an enemy or that of a teammate. After controlling a corpse, it would temporarily merge with her, combining Levels and Attributes for an extremely powerful enhancement!

However, this skill had two drawbacks.

First, it could only merge with the corpses of players, not NPCs, which made it difficult to leverage this skill in the wilderness. Out there, players lose Levels upon death, and to use it whenever and wherever meant ensuring player deaths at all times, which was highly impractical.

Secondly, the Energy Value needed for this skill was excessive. Especially for the corpse of a top-tier Holy Domain master like Miyamoto Musashi, who had a high Level and far exceeded Zhitian Shi the spellcaster, the energy consumed per second after fusion was colossal, and she couldn’t control it for long.
