This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 197 Fishing is all about casting and waiting for the air to settle.

The situation developed completely beyond the monitors' expectations, and even... went a bit off track.

—The 'Sun Lord' actually treated Nie Weiyang as the second administrator!
What a coward! The Lord has wasted two or three decades training you, hasn't he?! But this also proves that Nie Weiyang definitely has some kind of secret relationship with Administrator Number Two…

The observer gritted its teeth. But it was, after all, a phantom, and had never intended to have complete control of the situation.

As long as Nie Weiyang falls into the trap, the rest doesn't matter!
The observer secretly watched Nie Weiyang, hoping he would detonate the remnants of the mental bomb. It was just an illusion, powerless to forcibly reverse the actions of the Sun God, and could only place all their hopes back on Nie Weiyang—hoping he would immediately detonate the mental bomb, at least forcibly completing the KPI of 'soul blast'.

Outside the Bone Sacrifice Courtyard, Nie Weiyang landed a successful blow, but did not face the expected fierce counterattack.

The enormous, twisted spirit, carrying the souls it devoured, looked like a wild dog that had stolen all the eggs in the village, frantically smashing through all obstacles in its path as it fled into the depths of the mountains.

Nie Weiyang frowned slightly, instantly assessing the situation.

—What the sun god fears is definitely not its physical form, so what could make it fear so much must be related to light…

Is this administrator number two?

Although the nature of the light is different, the Paladin's light is closer to spells or will projection, while the Second Administrator's light is the transformation of will into physical light energy.

But perhaps only a madman can see the truth. It might realize that Administrator Number Two still exists in the safe zone it considers 'Bone Ritual Court'. The last time it welcomed Administrator Number Two to the Bone Ritual Court, the result was this horrific state—and so fear overwhelmed madness, and also overwhelmed the control of the Voidwalker.

Therefore, running away is the only option.

Nie Weiyang leaped after him, his speed so fast that he left only a faint afterimage. But the way he pursued him nearly gave the hidden observer a stroke—he seemed aggressive, yet he had no intention of detonating the mental bomb. In fact, each attack with the golden spear cleverly avoided the core of the Sun Lord, instead seeming to drive and force it to devour more believers' souls, making it more bloated and chaotic, while simultaneously amplifying and deepening its traumatic reaction to the "Second Administrator."

—How come they're even competing with the Void-Crossing Demon for food?!

The cultists in the forest scattered in terror, not daring to stop the two killing gods. The scene resembled a large-scale game of tag, only this time it was deadly.

Soon, the two, one chasing and the other fleeing, ventured deep into the deserted mountains and forests. Nie Weiyang finally 'caught up' with the Sun Lord. The sacred energy and the impure spirit collided violently, causing trees to crumble and rocks to explode. The scene was extremely intense, and the special effects budget was burned at an alarming rate.

Nie Weiyang's attacks seem fierce, but he always misses by a hair's breadth at crucial moments. However, his defense is impregnable, and his shield always manages to block the truly dangerous counterattacks from the Sun Lord.

He even deliberately created openings on several occasions, putting himself in danger—for example, taking a direct hit from an energy blast caused his arm armor to crack slightly, with the crack shape being quite artistic.

In every perilous situation, the observer's heart was on a rollercoaster.

Go ahead and blow it up! Go ahead and unleash your ultimate skill! Detonate it! Did you remove your skill key?!

But Nie Weiyang refused.

He always managed to defuse the crisis with some ingenious maneuver of "Oh dear, I almost died!" and continue the thrilling and intense battle, while the mental bomb remained as steady as a mountain, as quiet as if it didn't exist.

He was fishing. "Sun Lord." In the midst of the battle, Nie Weiyang smiled, his voice reaching the 'Sun Lord's' senses, "Why didn't your master come to save you? They've used you for so long, and now that you're broken, they're just throwing you away?"

“You know, you have to push things forward yourself…”

His charisma makes his voice both persuasive and guiding.

This ability is invincible in persuading others and gaining their trust. Even though the chaotic spirit of the 'Sun Lord' reduces the guiding effect, it is still enough to stir up the deep-seated hatred in its heart for the Void-Crossing Demon!
"..." The monitor's patience was completely worn out.

We can't wait any longer! The state of the Day Master is becoming increasingly unstable; if we drag this out any longer, it might even lose its value as a ticking time bomb!
The paladin is right; it must be the one to push things forward!

Without a sound, a strange mental fluctuation, like an invisible poisonous thorn, accurately shot towards the back of Nie Weiyang's head—this was a mental illusion technique that Du Kongmo was skilled in, enough to make any creature instinctively use all available power to save itself in extreme chaos, including... detonating that bomb.

However, this illusion, which was enough to make ordinary mental players collapse, disappeared without a trace when it touched Nie Weiyang's mental body!

Nie Weiyang's movements didn't even have a fraction of a second of hesitation. He deflected the Sun Lord's attack with a backhand flick of his spear, as if he had casually swatted away a buzzing mosquito.

Immune to illusions?!

The observer's phantom fluctuated violently. Is this guy's soul shelled, and even possesses anti-mental pollution properties?!
—This is absolutely a blessing from Administrator Number Two! As a human of this generation, this paladin could not possibly have accomplished this on his own!
Damn it, I knew this paladin had a big problem!

What kind of deal did these two make that would allow the second administrator to grant them such powerful protection?

The monitor, under the threat of the mission, finally lost his composure after his expectations were dashed again. Just as Nie Weiyang was about to seriously injure the Sun Lord with another spear thrust but then withdrew his attack in time, the monitor was terrified.

If illusions don't work, then let's use physical means! We absolutely cannot let the plan fail!

If we fail again against Administrator Number Two... the Lord will surely execute it!
A non-human, furious roar exploded from the void! The space behind Nie Weiyang was suddenly torn open, and a blurry claw made of twisted dark mist suddenly reached out. With a speed beyond visual perception and a terrifying power of eerie green color, it fiercely grabbed at Nie Weiyang's back!

This strike was swift, accurate, and ruthless, seizing the moment when Nie Weiyang had just completed an attack and seemed to have exhausted his old strength but not yet generated new strength!
In that instant, Nie Weiyang, who had been 'struggling to hold on' and 'facing constant danger,' suddenly dodged to the side. He precisely positioned the screaming Sun Lord's massive spiritual body into the path of the claws' attack!

Pfft——!
A dull, slightly sticky, strange sound was heard.

In mid-air, Gammaly Quinn's attack froze. It dodged and landed a short distance away, looking at its hands in disbelief.

—Was I just guided by spirits?

“It’s a pity,” Nie Weiyang even took the time to comment, his tone tinged with regret, “the accuracy was a bit off.”

Before he finished speaking, he moved!
