The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 597: Beat You Up For 20 Minutes

“—Ptoo.“

Husky spat a mouthful of thick bloody phlegm on the ground, leaned against the wall with difficulty, and gasped for breath.

Trisino Seti’s body was no longer human.

Of course, Seti won’t suffer without a fight.

However, Seti’s ritual was not over yet. He couldn’t move at will and couldn’t leave this place—he even transferred his soul to Frederick’s body in advance.

This meant Seti could not use his divine art and elements, thus unable to trigger any new rituals.

Trisino, who had lost his elements, had even lost his “Divine Eye” that could see through the future and dreams. In the nightmare, he noticed that Annan and Husky came from outside the nightmare and from the future. He could even see that Annan was the Book of Divine Transporter holder.

However, the person standing in place was nothing more than an AI wearing a “Trisino” skin.

Trisino was immobilized, and he could only rely on spells to retaliate against Justice.

“Brother, you can even defeat a bot.”

As long as Justice could be knocked out and thrown back into the ritual again, everything could be fixed.

However, Trisino, who had lost his element and divine art, was far too weak to achieve that.

Or, perhaps “Justice” was too strong.

Even Husky, who knew nothing about transcender and had little combat experience, could use this body to fight against a Gold Rank transcender.

Through Husky’s eyes, the players gained their first exposure to the might of a Gold Rank.

As a Gold Rank Transcended, who was immobilized and unable to use elemental power, Trisino could rely on magic. The players got to witness the power they still possessed in those conditions.

That was the level that could easily kill all the current players countless times.

The skin was cracked and peeled off instantly;

The spine grows wildly like a tree, piercing the chest and head;

The head floated up like a balloon and then exploded;

The internal organs were removed telepathically, and the victim was turned into a stone statue…

However, these attacks were almost useless in front of Justice.

Even if the head were removed, Justice would not die immediately; if the internal organs were removed, they could grow back. “Justice” was completely unstoppable unless Husky gave up on his own.

The players finally realized why Trisino used the “nightmare” as such a convoluted process to weave a paradoxical loop to kill Justice.

As the “Shield of Unfallen” of the damage absorber, all his transcended abilities were used to increase his immortality. “Justice”‘s body was so strong that Trisino’s attacks couldn’t even make him feel pain.

Even when Justice fell into a pool of lava or got crushed by a mountain, he would not die. After all, Justice’s way of saving people was to absorb all the damage. To achieve that, Justice had to be tenacious. Only when the tolerance to pain had reached a certain height would the person save others using the power to absorb damage.

That was why Justice was stabbed several times, even after Justice had committed suicide. As long as Justice was still alive, these attacks could not leave traces on him at all.

Those injuries could only be left after his death.

Of course, Trisino did not act out of hatred in damaging Justice’s body. However, Trisino wanted to make sure that Justice was dead.

Judging from what Justice said to Annan, Justice held grievances against Seti. It was the inadequacy in rank that limited Justice. As a result, in real history, Seti killed Justice before Justice had time to make a move against Seti.

Even after Justice died and turned into a nightmare, Justice still didn’t know why he died.

The fist that Husky hurled undoubtedly had Justice’s own will!

After all, this place was just a nightmare, and everything that happened was not real. Husky didn’t even desire to kill Seti, nor did he have the need to live; as long as he died, the mission was considered complete, and he didn’t have to commit suicide.

Then, the carefree feeling enabled Husky to achieve it.

Husky did not need to kill the enemy, survive, or even dodge an attack to avoid pain.

Then, all he had to do was “play for fun”.

Husky’s biggest advantage was that he was physically strong enough.

Punch after punch bombarded Seti’s body.

Twenty minutes later, Husky, who had endured more than 60 attacks that were enough to remove his health bar, beat Trisino to death with his fists.

Even if it was a nightmare, it did not make sense.

“I’m so sorry,” said Husky.

It was not to Trisino but to Justice.

“I have broken your body…”

But you shouldn’t mind.

Husky said silently in his heart.

Husky had never met this stranger. He still did not know what Justice looked like, so he somehow could empathize with Justice.

He broke off the extra tooth with his hands and threw it on the ground. This was because after Justice’s tooth was broken in half, he had a new tooth. However, his original tooth had not completely fallen out.

Husky spat out another mouthful of bloody phlegm and heaved a sigh of relief.

Husky wiped the blood on his face. His head had been cut horizontally here not long ago. However, the fatal injury was healed in the blink of an eye, leaving only a little blood stain.

When Husky wiped off the bloodstains with his hands, the scars on his face had disappeared at some point.

“Don’t panic, brother…”

Husky smiled meanly, “Aren’t you curious about the collection of books here?

“It’s rare to be able to come to this kind of place in a nightmare. Let me look through what’s good! The screen recording team should get ready!”

It was a pity that this place did not seem to be Trisino’s wizard tower.

Husky searched around but couldn’t find the extensive library he remembered.

However, his effort was not fruitless.

This seemed to be a temporary base for Trisino to hold rituals.

Hence, it was still possible to locate the mystic books.

At least Husky found three books from the rubble after looting the place for half an hour.

Husky saw a copy of “Theory of Pale” written by Iffac and “The Law of Similarity and Prophetic Dreams”. Then, there was a thin, withered yellow book that Husky could not even discern the title. The pages feel like moth wings covered in dust.

To be safe, Husky opened the two books he could understand page by page.

Although Husky had not read the game guide, the Huskies followed the instructions written in the bullet text.

Husky lowered his head without opening his eyes. With his eyes closed, he just turned the book pages, let the recording and broadcasting team take screenshots, and then took them to print in reality.

The thickness of the two books was manageable. Soon, Husky flipped through all the pages.

Husky quickly picked up the book whose title he couldn’t even read.

The moment he opened the book, Husky froze suddenly.

His skin turned yellow and withered in the blink of an eye, devoid of vitality. He aged instantly, his eyes growing dim and lifeless. The surrounding world decayed and took on a visible hue of yellow like a filter of “old photographs” had been applied.

Without a sound, Husky’s screen suddenly went black.

Immediately afterward, a glimmering prompt flashed before Annan’s eyes.

[Nightmare has been purified.]

“…Huh?“

How did the husky die?

Annan was a little surprised.
