Chapter 143 Paper Defenders



Chapter 143 Paper Defenders

When the golem realized that Wain was gradually winning, the monster decided to use his trump card. Dozens of books around the golem rose and opened, then swirled around the golem, like a whirlwind.

Wain didn't understand what was happening, but he was ready to block any attack.

The vortex stopped after a few seconds, and all the golem's wounds were repaired. Wain had to kill the golem in one series of attacks. Otherwise, the monster would regenerate quickly. The number of books was reduced by about ten percent.

Wain wanted to attack again, but suddenly pages began to fly out of the books. They came down on Wain like hundreds of blades.

"What the?!" Wain exclaimed and turned into a blue flash.

He could block and reflect many beams flying toward him, but not hundreds of deadly pages. Even if he swung his sword as fast as he could, at best, he could reflect only a third of the pages.

Wain didn't want to use Code of Light and Darkness or Cursed Swordsman. He needed those skills for the final battle.

So Wain decided to run away from hundreds of pages first and gradually develop a plan. However, when he ran a few laps around the golem, Wain felt that he began to speed up. What's more, the temperature next to him dropped drastically, despite his high speed.

Also, his boots shone brightly like sparks.

Wain smirked and began to accelerate. This allowed him to increase his speed by a factor of two or even three. He was like blue lightning, just as fast and deadly.

Wain had only one way to kill the book golem and destroy the hundreds of pages chasing him. To do so, he became faster, gradually increasing the power of his skills with the lightning attribute. This was the effect of the skill - Sign of Lightning.

Crackle.

Black electrical discharges appeared at his hand, and a dark pillar of thunder came crashing down on the golem in the next coin. This attack was twice as powerful as before, as Wain ran at the highest possible speed.

Had he slowed for another ten seconds, Sign of Lightning would have been overpowered, and Wain would have been seriously wounded.

But, thanks to the enhanced effect, Oblivion Thunder wiped half the cloud into dust, as well as the golem along with dozens books. Regardless of its regeneration or defense level, the golem could not survive such a powerful attack.

What's more, many small black lightning bolts flew away from the cloud, piercing through the smaller clouds. They fell down and disappeared forever.

"HAHAHAHA, great. That's incredible power. All I had to do was clench my fist, and I caused a disaster." Proclaimed Wain was looking at the destruction that occurred because of his actions.

Then a pink soul flew into Wain's body. He was surprised as he didn't expect a book golem's soul to be so rare.

[Book Golem (Damaged)

Chronicle: First

Rating: Epic]

Wain smiled and crushed the soul.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Book Golem level 20. Strength+5, Vitality+6, Stamina+8]

'Oh, I got many stats. After all, First Chronicle souls are quite different from Primary Chronicle souls in every aspect. What's more, this golem was level 20. That is an impressive number. When I get to the upper clouds, I should prepare myself for a dangerous challenge.' Thought Wain as he felt himself growing stronger.

It was First Chronicle soul, so Wain could increase his Strength, even though it was above 80. The more complicated the enemy was, the higher the reward was.

[You get Epic Rating Spiritual Box]

"Wow, the item I get from this box will have a huge value. The Furious Lion Amulet I bought from Sven is also an Epic Rating item from First Chronicle." Wain muttered and crushed the pink box in his hand.

A large amount of Soul Essence flew out of the box, which gradually turned into a small object. Strangely enough, it was a book. It was huge. However, this book only had one page.

Wain took the book in his hands and looked at the object's description.

[Book Avalanche (First Chronicle, Epic Rating)

To use this item, you must mentally select a target and then tear out a page in this book. The next moment, each letter on the page will turn into a massive, hard as steel book. They will cluster into one massive avalanche and crash down on your enemy.

This avalanche will instantly kill any enemy whose Stamina is less than 100 points.

After using this item, the book is burned]

"Not bad," Wain muttered and moved the book to the Ring of Damned.

At this point, he needed all the reinforcement he could get. Honestly, Wain didn't expect the book golem to be such a strong opponent.

The golem had powerful attacks, high regeneration, and a large number of different skills. Every book was a weapon of the golem, and it was a tremendous power.

Whoooosh.

Suddenly the cloud on which Wain was standing slowly began to rise up. Wain smiled, he was worried that he would have to solve some riddle to get through again. However, in this case, his challenge was to defeat the golem.

After a while, Wain climbed even higher. Initially, he was the first at the lowest level of the clouds. Now he had risen to the third. According to Wain's calculations, he needed to climb one or two more levels to get to the top of the clouds.

Wain arrived at a huge cloud, more like a floating island. On this cloud was a massive building, it was a library. Inside were hundreds of different books, it was a temple of knowledge and protected by many creatures.

"Knights?" Wain mouthed in surprise as he looked at the monsters around the library.

They were knights, but not ordinary. Their armor consisted of paper, and they looked as if they were characters from some fairy tale. Despite the ridiculous appearance of their armor, their weapons were deadly and brutal.

They were a variety of serrated swords, bloody spears, and even saws. This created a contrast between the simple paper armor and the sophisticated weapons.

The knights spotted Wain, but they did not attack him. They were standing still. Their main task was to prevent anyone from entering the library.

Wain shrugged and walked around the building. He hoped to find a way to get higher without fighting the monsters because he needed to conserve his strength. However, no miracle happened.

"Damn, now I want to solve some mystery again..." Wain muttered and waved his hand. A dark sword appeared beside him, and like lightning, it headed toward the paper knights.

The knights continued to stand motionless. They saw Wain's attack, and they stared at him intently, but the knights did not even try to dodge.

Clang.

Suddenly a protective barrier appeared around the library, and the Dark Sword flew aside like a needle. Wain tried to attack again and swung his arm, but the result was the same.

"This is getting annoying... Why is it always so weird and confusing in the Purgatory zones? However, I passed the first test in my own way. Okay, I don't have any other option anyway." Mumbled Wain, and he stepped forward when the sword returned to him.

The knights didn't attack Wain until the last moment, but they became wary when he came close to the barrier.

Wain realized that he would probably be able to get through the barrier, and he might not have to destroy it to do so. Wain didn't have any proof. It was simple intuition and a little experience gained from being in the Purgatory zones.

Wain stepped forward and quickly passed through the barrier. At the same moment, the two knights closest to him attacked him. They were fast, and their attacks were deadly. Unfortunately for them, Wain was swifter.

He dashed forward and found himself behind one knight.

Whooosh.

Wain swung his sword and sliced the knight in two. The second knight reacted quickly and attacked Wain, but Wain was ready for it. He lifted half of the first knight's body to cover himself with it and then swung his sword to cut the second knight's head off.

'As I expected, paper knights are pretty weak opponents.' Thought Wain as he looked at the foes running in his direction.

Suddenly, however, the two paper knights who had just been defeated rose to their feet. Their bodies were fully intact again, and they were ready for battle.

Wain was surprised and decided to run inside the library. He decided it would be better to deal with all the enemies at once and in one place. The paper knights were not the first regenerative enemies Wain had encountered.

'I'll find out how many of them there are first, try a couple of ways to destroy them, and then choose the best option.' Wain thought as he ran into the massive library room.

The library was spherical in shape, and bookcases were all around on the walls, even on the ceiling.

Inside there was nothing but bookcases, but Wain didn't have time to look closely as dozens of knights ran inside.

Ahead of them all stood the two knights he had just killed. They had changed slightly, becoming a little taller and bigger. Their auras had intensified, and a triangle mark appeared on their chests. Wain didn't know what it meant, but he had no time to think at the moment.

He had to fight off multiple knights attacking him from different directions. They could not attack all at once, as it was impossible to surround Wain tightly given their numbers. However, they didn't give him time to rest and think of a plan.
