Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 499 - 348: Caught Off Guard, Life Is But a Dream

"Could it be that this guy holds a grudge against me, and that’s why he teamed up with the Demon King and other beings to deal with me? Is it necessary to be so petty?"

The more he looked, the more Wang Zhifan felt speechless encountering that guy again. He truly didn’t expect to meet them once more, and upon meeting, fall into their carefully crafted trap.

In the current situation, he was essentially a meal for these formidable opponents that suddenly appeared. Once they completed the space cutting and transfer, he would be in extreme danger. After all, under the constraints of the power of Space Law, simply protecting himself was already difficult, and launching a counterattack to break the stalemate was extremely challenging unless he used the power of his trump card.

"It’s about time... if I don’t take a gamble, I might crash..."

At this extremely perilous moment, Wang Zhifan, whom everyone considered a poor bug, chose to unleash all his power to forcefully change the situation.

He subtly activated the special ability "Time Stop" of the blade in his hand to resist the terrifying shadows around him from pulling him into the abyss.

As commonly known, the power of Time Law is stronger than that of Space Law. When this great ability was activated, the sense of falling for him and the surrounding space was instantly halted, along with those shadowy beings around, and even the Demon King a bit farther away was caught in absolute stillness.

This paused time, if not continuously activating the blade’s ability, could only be maintained for one second, but for him, one second was enough to do many things.

"Life is but a dream."

In that fleeting moment when everything around him was halted, he unleashed the full power he had cultivated so far with the blade in his hand.

The blade of time, tinged with crimson within the amber, sliced through the space before him at not an overwhelming speed, yet strangely did not target any particular enemy; it seemed to deliberately cut into the void. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

However, Wang Zhifan’s determination as he swung the blade was unwavering, the light blade in his hand showed no hesitation. More importantly, his Spirit was sharply focused, using the full power of the Great Dream Saber Scripture to perceive the essential nature of his surrounding enemies and directing the blade at these conceptual existences.

Generally, entities are divided into two major categories: real existence and illusory existence. The core blade technique of the Great Dream Saber Scripture, "Life is but a dream," is a special attack created to address these two concepts. The real target struck by "Life is but a dream" will be forcibly stripped of its existence essence and directly downgraded to an illusory existence, becoming utterly nonexistent, dead more irretrievably than the most real death.

This is one kind of ludicrous technique that normal saber wielders cannot comprehend; ordinary wielders aim at the tangible, the more skilled at attacking intangible spirit bodies. Yet, such an attack on conceptual essence exists, being highly profound and something only top-tier saber wielders can slightly comprehend.

By coincidence, having cultivated the Great Dream Saber Scripture, Wang Zhifan reached this realm now. Although he could not yet claim mastery of "Life is but a dream," practically speaking, this was the first time. In this emergency, using Time Stop as an aid, he managed it smoothly, performing an attack method that could cross spatial hindrance very suited for the current environment.

That one smooth cut did not cause any world-changing scenes or dazzling saber lights. Wang Zhifan only felt that the power within his body was consumed more than half, while all the targets he had marked with concentration began disintegrating instantly, disappearing like thin mist in the void, leaving no trace whatsoever.

The terrifying shadows that ensnared him vanished, and the power of Space Law they unleashed dissipated thoroughly as if a stream had lost its source and dried up rapidly.

The Demon King, who was still fervently emitting the Light of Annihilation in opposition to the Duke’s Array, also vanished. Under the influence of Time Stop, it did not sense the danger at its end until the moment it was annihilated, perhaps remaining joyful to the end, for the sagacity of liberating its mind and teaming with other formidable demons, as well as the joy of strategically eliminating its strongest rival.

With its disappearance, the Light of Annihilation, which had oppressed the scene, naturally extinguished, allowing the Duke’s defense to instantly take the upper hand, rendering this NPC indescribably astonished.

Because Grand Duke Agulas Rod was not personally present, wielding power remotely, he wasn’t affected by Wang Zhifan’s activation of Time Stop. Moreover, several of his monitoring mediums were far enough from Wang Zhifan to let him perceive the specifics of the sudden change.

However, this elder, despite his vast knowledge, did not fathom all the mysteries involved. He only vaguely sensed that Wang Zhifan used the power of Time Law and then, in some particularly unique way, eradicated all enemies so thoroughly that not even a tiny bit of corpses remained, a state more tragic than bodies subjected to Dissociation Skill.

Those very close to Wang Zhifan were equally astonished, yet, in recovering from Time Stop, they didn’t grasp the full depth of events, merely assuming the enemies swiftly vanished. Some believed the foes used some group invisibility method, calling out for tracking them down and activate Investigation Skill.

Conversely, the player cohort among them understood best the recent occurrence because a dungeon settlement notification appeared before them, indicating they achieved the dungeon objective by participating in the Demon King’s killing.
