Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 142: Traceless Appearance! Deadly Cooperation!

"Soul Fusion (Gold)"

"When contracted spiritual beasts are in a joint battle, all receive a race value boost of the number of battling spiritual beasts X 5%, greatly improving combat coordination."

"Fuse all contracted spiritual beasts to form a fusion spiritual beast with a race value equal to the sum of all contracted spiritual beasts' race values, lasting 5 minutes, usable once per entrance into the Dream World."

"Upon killing a player, any talent effect of that player's talent can be taken as an additional talent effect for oneself, retaining only one extra talent effect, usable once every seven entrances into the Dream World."

"Current extra talent effect source: Spirit Ascension (Gold)"

"Temporarily boosts all contracted spiritual beasts' race values by 200%, stackable with the first and second talent effects, lasting 5 minutes, usable once every seven entrances into the Dream World."

Looking at the talent details before him, Matsusaka Shigeki opened his mouth wide, letting out a wild laugh that echoed across the plain for a long time.

Was Spirit Ascension the strongest?

No! Now he was the strongest!!!

Soul Fusion was a talent that became stronger with the increase in the number of contracted spiritual beasts. At this moment, combined with the Third Talent of Ascension, Matsusaka Shigeki could give his fusion spiritual beast a further 200% boost to its race value!

"Now, I have no opponents!"

"Yes, a truly terrifying talent," a voice floated into his ears, as if speaking right beside him.

Matsusaka Shigeki's pupils constricted sharply, the madness in his eyes temporarily masked by astonishment. He swiftly turned his head to see the female player who stood just a meter away, her arms crossed, her cloak unable to hide her seductive figure, wearing a mask beneath her hood.

Behind the female player followed three spiritual beasts at the Elite Rank.

When had she arrived?

How could she have approached him so silently at such a distance?!

He casually clicked on the scanning light point and after seeing the scan results, even the fake smile that perpetually hung on his face became rigid.

"Player Name: Oriel."

"Player Level: Apprentice Level."

"Contracted Spiritual Beast: Flame Devouring Lizard."

Apprentice Level...

Damned Apprentice Level!

Matsusaka Shigeki's gaze turned dangerous as he looked at the woman before him.

"Traceless?"

The only player he could think of, who could have such a talent, was that Gold-Talent player, who could have exposed herself early on but never truly did.

"It's me." The woman nodded slightly, directly admitting her identity, "When you killed that Red Talent player and acquired the Instant Teleportation talent ability and headed straight for Erik, I knew, you were rather interesting."

"Any interest in cooperating?"

"Cooperate?" Matsusaka Shigeki chuckled with a smirk, the fake smile returning to his face, "I'm sorry."

"I much prefer slaughter and lone-wolf tactics!"

The information the other party provided proved one thing.

She had been observing him from the shadows for a long time.

And he had not noticed it at all.

Such an opponent must die!

As his words fell, the three spiritual beasts that had just undergone a fierce battle quickly lunged towards Oriel, their fighting spirit surging. The first talent effect of Soul Fusion activated instantly.

"That's not a good habit," Oriel's voice held a hint of mockery. In a flash, she and her three spiritual beasts vanished from the spot, leaving no trace behind.

A cold sweat streaked down Matsusaka Shigeki's forehead.

Instant Teleportation?

No... He had an intuition that she was still here, just concealed by some means.

His three spiritual beasts roared, indiscriminately attacking the area where Oriel had just been and the nearby region, to no avail.

Since the opponent was gone and they were no longer in joint combat, the race values of the three spiritual beasts that had been boosted now fell back down.

In the next instant, Oriel appeared before Matsusaka Shigeki, grasping his collar to lift him up, her light green eyes beneath the mask bearing a chilling oppressiveness.

Accompanied by a scream, one of Matsusaka Shigeki's Spiritual Beasts was instantly killed by the suddenly appearing opponent.

"Considering you haven't wasted your once-in-seven-days Spirit Ascension Talent, consider this a small warning," Oriel released her hold, standing tall as she faced Matsusaka Shigeki, "You may have gained the effects of the Spirit Ascension Talent, but you've also lost your true threat."

"Your Talent is no longer full of endless possibilities."

"Wake up, Matsusaka Shigeki."

"You are not the strongest."

Matsusaka Shigeki fell silent for a moment, and the insincere smile on his face vanished.

"Did you just say... cooperation?"

"Correct," Oriel's voice became light-hearted again, "I cannot beat the town's Spiritual Beast, but you can, so you help me defeat the town's Spiritual Beast!"

"If I'm not misunderstanding... cooperation should be mutually beneficial, right?" Matsusaka Shigeki looked at Oriel, his eyes narrowing as they began to gleam with a dangerous light.

"Exactly!" Oriel's eyes were filled with sincerity.

"Not killing you is already the greatest favor."

-----------------

"The town's Spiritual Beast really is strong," Yue Li said as she sat on a large rock, looking towards the majestic snow mountain in the distance, her face showing a hint of helplessness, "We've all put forth our best effort, but we still can't subdue our opponent."

"Ying~"

Ice Cream hung its head in dejection.

Thanks to the team's coordination and the element of surprise, Ice Cream was able to make its mightiest slash, but it could only wound the opponent because the Rapid Freeze Bird's defense was too strong.

And for Ice Cream, this slash was its only chance.

Because after its attack, the Rapid Freeze Bird would ascend to the sky, attacking from a distance with a sweeping barrage.

"Woof!"

Sensing its companion's disheartened state, Water Flower, Little Blue, and Little Red gathered around, comforting Ice Cream, though they too felt uneasy within.

After all, they couldn't think of any way to handle such a formidable opponent.

Leaning against the trunk of a nearby tree, Qin Chuan wore a contemplative expression.

After the recent battle, he could be almost certain of one thing: four Elite Rank Lv30 Spiritual Beasts were not enough to defeat the town's Spiritual Beast.

Even if he filled the empty Contract Slot with a new Spiritual Beast and maxed out the Rank, Qin Chuan still saw no hope for successful defeat.

Such an overwhelming strength seemed utterly despairing.

"Luo, why aren't you speaking?" Yue Li's voice snapped Qin Chuan out of his thoughts.

"I am thinking, can Elite Rank players really defeat the town's Spiritual Beast?"

"Of course, there's a way," Yue Li's mouth twitched slightly, "Challenging the town's Spiritual Beast can be accomplished with up to 10 people together."

"The odds of 10 Elite Rank players overwhelming the town's Spiritual Beast and completing the challenge are very high."

"But..."

Yue Li didn't continue, but Qin Chuan understood what she meant.

They couldn't gather eight Elite Rank players to challenge the town's Spiritual Beast.

This was the price of being ahead.

Currently leading the entire game with few equals, they couldn't just wait for other Elite Rank players to gradually level up; they could only rely on themselves.

Depend on themselves...

Qin Chuan opened the player panel, his eyes focusing on the last line.

[04:52:16/08:00:00][00:00:19]

His eyes slightly downcast, his voice became determined.

"I think, let's try one more time!"
