Mini World Game Console

Ren Suo had discovered the "Equipment Interface" containing "Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records (Chapter One)" early on.

Unlike the "Advanced Cultivation Method," the Secret Records seemed to be recognized by the game console as a 'special ability'. However, after equipping it, Ren Suo realized that it was quite similar to his own Cultivation.

There was a gap. Simply put, Ren Suo's own efficiency in cultivating the Secret Records was about 60% to 70%, but after equipping it, he could achieve 100% effectiveness.

Yet, Ren Suo could enhance his proficiency with the Secret Records by continually cultivating it, so naturally, he would not take this shortcut. In the long term, Ren Suo could at least master one Cultivation Technique. From a short-term perspective, Ren Suo could free up an ability slot to equip another Skill.

Most importantly, if Ren Suo chose to cultivate the "Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records" by equipping it, then the dozen days he spent cultivating in his little room in Sky Capital would have been wasted...

However, the fact that "Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records (Chapter One)" could become an Offering in this game was beyond Ren Suo's expectations.

The use of this Offering was also not related to Life Value or Mana Points, but it directly entered a cooldown period.

As long as Ren Suo used it, whether he reloaded or not, the "Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records" Offering would inevitably enter a cooldown period, and the cooldown lasted for one level.

That is to say, after using it in a level, Ren Suo had to pass the current level to the next one before the "Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records" would completely cool down.

The effect of "Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records (Chapter One)" was very straightforward: "After use, for 10 minutes, defensive power, Mana Points, Mana Points recovery speed, Life Value, Life Value recovery speed, Movement Speed, Dominance Strength, Combat Speed, Attack Power, and Physical Condition are all significantly increased."

Naturally, such a Skill should be used in a boss fight. Because even reloading could not reset the cooldown, Ren Suo had not dared to use it before. Now was the time!

The Magician suddenly floated, his silver-white hair fluttering without wind. His silver-white robe was suddenly adorned with deep black strange Runes, and his Life Value and Mana Points extended by one-third. The whole screen suddenly deepened.

Then, the whole world slowed down a bit.

It really just slowed down a bit. Had it not been for the Transcendent Warrior's scream stretching just a little, Ren Suo would not have noticed it.

It was just like when Ren Suo used the Handsome Monkey King to fight the Angel. To match Ren Suo's operational speed, the game character's Combat Speed had to be accelerated. This effect was highlighted by slowing down the overall game speed!

So powerful! Ren Suo gasped, and then he swapped to another Offering: 'data stream'.

This Offering had no restrictions, and its effect was only one: to check the status of the boss.

"Target: Holy Grail Demon"

"Remaining Life: 86%"

Rather tough, huh... Ren Suo muttered to himself, controlling the Magician to rush in front of the Strange Creature and drawing his Fire Broadsword with a swift strike!

Originally, the Magician's Fire Broadsword could only cut a flame crack more than a meter wide. However, after activating the Secret Records, the Magician's move directly created a seven to eight-meter-long fiery fissure!

The Strange Creature screamed in agony, its continuously charged Blood Sickle swung down, sweeping a bloody wind and Blood Moon over the entire Monastery!

The Transcendent Warriors groaned. Just the aftermath of the Blood Sickle threw them all against the walls, their flesh and stone making a tremendous noise!

They must have all spread their "Clothing," yet they were still hit and injured!

However, Red Hood and the Magician were able to dodge the Blood Sickle and quickly moved in for a furious attack.

As its Health Points declined, the Strange Creature's combat power became increasingly formidable. It either swept with the Blood Sickle or smashed wildly with the Iron Masked Head. The speed of the Iron Masked Head was very fast. If not for being in the Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records state, Ren Suo might not have been able to dodge it.

At this point, the Mysterious Kingdom Warriors also recovered their breath and tried to move the wounded out of the Monastery. However, as they approached the Monastery's doorway, the Strange Creature went berserk:

"Don't leave——"

The Strange Creature abandoned the Magician and Red Hood to chase after the injured Mysterious Kingdom Warriors!

Naturally, Ren Suo had the Magician hurry to slow down the Strange Creature's movements. But no matter how much damage the Fire Broadsword dealt, the Strange Creature completely ignored it, raising the Blood Sickle to slay the fleeing Mysterious Kingdom Warriors!

The other Mysterious Kingdom Warriors also saw the Strange Creature's intent and grabbed their firearms to shoot fiercely. However, the Strange Creature, in its gliding state, was not slowed down by the bullets!

Ren Suo glanced over. The one transporting the wounded was Yuan Dang.

I can't just watch him die here... Let's try it then...

At this moment, although Yuan Dang and the injured were still fleeing, when they noticed the Strange Creature charging towards them, they tripped over stones on the road due to their hasty running. Turning around, they saw the Strange Creature, which occupied their entire field of vision, raising its Blood Sickle to end their lives.

However, the next second, a silver-haired Magician appeared in front of them with a Teleport.

But it was too late. Even if the Magician could injure the Strange Creature with a sword, the Strange Creature's Blood Sickle would devour them completely.

Just when Yuan Dang and the others felt desperate, black streams of air suddenly condensed around the Magician, who let out an agonizing 'AAAAAH—!' scream.

The knuckles of the Magician's right-hand fingers suddenly sloughed off, revealing the dense, iron-colored bone chains within, which were threaded with dark-red blood filaments!

The Forbidden Technique, "Iron Chain of the Finger," activated!

The five iron chains, as if sentient, shot towards the Strange Creature and tightly entangled it. Compared to the Strange Creature, the slender iron chains looked as if they could be easily snapped like rubber bands.

Yet, it was these delicate finger chains that forcibly held the huge Strange Creature in place!

At this moment, several messages popped up on the left side of the screen:

"You have activated a Forbidden Technique. Your right-hand joints are completely lost."

"Because you are in an unknown enhanced state, your Forbidden Technique's effect is further strengthened: Binding time increased by 10 seconds, totaling 30 seconds."

"All your melee attacks will have their damage reduced by 50%."

The Magician roared, "It can't move for thirty seconds! Hurry and go!"

This was obviously shouted for the Transcendent Warriors to hear, but Yuan Dang immediately turned and said, "There's an air wall at the door, we can't get out!"

Ren Suo was slightly surprised and then changed the language to inquire with Red Hood, who replied, "The sanctuary belongs to the Demon. If it doesn't want anyone to escape, the entire sanctuary will obey its command!"

At this point, ten of the thirty seconds had already passed. Ren Suo immediately said, "You can't leave for now. Use whatever means you have quickly!"

In fact, all were attacking with assault rifles while retreating, except Cheng Wenchao, who abandoned his firearm, pulled a dagger from his waist, and approached the Strange Creature.

He suddenly shouted, and the dagger emitted a cold light over ten feet long, solidly shattering the Iron Masked Head!

Ren Suo was somewhat surprised. He recognized that this should be the Third-Tier Magic "Sonic Blade" from the Magical Starry Sky, capable of condensing continuously vibrating sonic blades, striking unexpectedly with extremely shocking damage. He had not expected Cheng Wenchao to master this Spell.

However, after the Iron Masked Head was shattered, a large mass of plasma surged out, and soon the head was completely repaired.

The Strange Creature said, "My blood... you see... look at it!"

After thirty seconds, the Strange Creature's Health Points had fallen to 60%. It broke free and suddenly screamed, "AAAAAH, is it because my love isn't deep enough——"

Its right hand's Blood Sickle transformed into a flail, viciously smashing into itself!

The splintering blood-colored flowers, blood-colored wood roots, and blood-colored wood chips shot around like arrows. Even Ren Suo couldn't avoid them!

Furthermore, the Strange Creature didn't just stand still; it moved everywhere!

The Cultivators of the Mysterious Country knew they couldn't escape. Instead, they hardened their resolve and continued attacking the Strange Creature. The Magician, whose hand was ruined, switched to become a healer, continuously firing Holy Light Bullets to quickly bring the injured back to the battlefield!

However, the battle wasn't as simple as a game.

The Strange Creature frequently changed tactics. When its Health Points dropped below 40%, it became even more aggressive, suddenly swinging back and splitting a Mysterious Kingdom Warrior named Zhong Zhou in half!

The Magician kept firing Holy Light Bullets at him, but Zhong Zhou showed no reaction at all, appearing as if he was about to die outright. Yet beneath him appeared a black vortex—precisely the scene that would appear when a Magician killed a Demon, and the Demon reverted to its original form.

As the Magician approached, the screen displayed the choice:

"Redemption" or "Sacrifice"?
