608 A Message from Liu Ming (1/2)
”Congratulations, you've used 29 Seal Cards and succeeded in sealing the target. Excluding the two Seal Cards that you already have, you've used up 260 card draws and 340 card draws remain.”
Just as Lin Huang fell onto the ground, Xiao Hei's voice was heard again.
”I almost died…”
Lin Huang became limp, suffering from pain and feeling weak. The weakness he felt was as if he had gone to the toilet eighty times from food poisoning or that he had sex with his girlfriend eighteen times a day… Of course, the pain he suffered was due to the bloody whip used by the monster and it had nothing to do with his girlfriend at all.
”Hey, did you intentionally lower the success rate of the Seal Card? Why did I need 28 Seal Cards to successfully seal it?” Lin Huang grumbled weakly.
”In fact, you're considered lucky. Without the Misfortune Card, the success rate to seal it would be less than one ten-thousandth due to the difference in your combat levels. Even if you've used 10,000 Seal Cards, you might not be able to seal it.”
”Well, we can't give all the credit to the Misfortune Card. The monster has been sealed previously but it managed to get rid of the seal. A huge portion of its strength was spent fighting against the seal. In addition to its abilities being suppressed by the sunlight, the crippling effect of the Crippling Card and the continuous attacks from the God Crashers suppressed his abilities. The combination of all that resulted in a substantial increase in the effect of the Seal Card. If you weren't lucky, even if you've used up all 600 card draws, you might not even be able to seal it with 62 Seal Cards.”
”I actually doubted what you said. It's just a demigod…” Lin Huang said and took out the card that had been sealed. He was startled when he saw the card.
On the front of the card, there was a picture of an arm with a big red ”sealed” word on it. The name of the card was – The Virtual God's Amputee.
Lin Huang immediately flipped to the back of the card.
”The Virtual God's Amputee.”
”Rarity: Pseudo mythical-level.”
”Combat Level: Virtual God (Broken)”
”Seal Target Description: The arm of the Virtual God. The rest of its body parts and its head has gone missing. Other information remains unknown.”
”Warning: With your current combat level and the authorization level of the system, please do not unseal the card unless it's necessary. Once unsealed, you won't be able to reseal it for the second time. The amputee would completely break free of the seal.”
”Now do you know why I told you that you were lucky?” Noticing that Lin Huang had finished reading the card's description, Xiao Hei's voice was heard again. ”If it wasn't an amputee that has lost its Godhead, causing its rarity to be on the pseudo mythical-level, the Seal Card will have no effect on it at all.”
Lin Huang put away his card and asked, ”If the card isn't sealed, do you have any other way?”
”No, if the sealing of the card was unsuccessful, you'll be possessed by the amputee. Once you've lost your consciousness, I'll leave your body and be recalled back to the world of the Goldfingers. My memory and all my data will be cleared, waiting to be assigned to another host. As for your body, you'll become a puppet of the amputee.”
Lin Huang remained silent, listening to what Xiao Hei just said.
”I forgot to remind you that if you didn't leave the ruins within ten seconds, you'll have to wait until next year.”
”What?” Lin Huang was stunned. He just recalled that the ruin key had a time limit on the exit. If nobody closed it, it would close on its own after three minutes. Moreover, the entrance could only be externally activated once a year while the exit could only be internally opened once a year. If he had yet to leave after three minutes, the ruin key could only be used next year.
”10, 9, 8, 7…”
When he heard that Xiao Hei was counting down, Lin Huang immediately stood up and put away all twelve of the God Crashers into his storage. He then took a leap with his Thunder Step, transforming himself into a crimson-colored lightning and left through the exit of the ruins.
The moment he disappeared through the exit of the ruins took less than three seconds, but it caused the air around it to implode rapidly.
At the War Canyon outside the ruins, a shadow suddenly appeared from the black ripples.
”Lin Huang!”
Yi Zheng and the rest shouted in excitement from seeing Lin Huang escape from the ruins at the very last minute. Before Lin Huang could stabilize himself, Bloody twisted around his left arm again while the rest surrounded him as well.
”Are you okay? All of us thought that you have died.” Yi Zheng and the rest came up to him, sizing him up to see if something was missing.
”I'm okay. Yes, I almost died.” Lin Huang removed the dust on his clothes calmly. The amputee of the Virtual God had been sealed and the exit of the ruins had closed. He was not worried if anything could get out of the ruins.
”From your clothes, I can see that you're really clumsy just now.” Yi Zheng teased Lin Huang since his clothes had been torn apart by the bloody whip that tangled him.
”How did you get out of the ruins? My brother told me that you were caught by the monster.” Yi Yeyu immediately asked.
”I'm lucky enough. After catching me, something else seemed to have caught its attention. It dumped me and left.” Lin Huang hid the truth and told them a story.
Yi Zheng and Leng Yuexin's eyes flashed with a trace of uncertainty. However, they did not ask any further.
Li Lang and Yi Yeyu thought that what he said was true.
