Chapter 787: Chapter 780: Spectating

At the same time, just as Zhou Yuanjue began a new round of matchmaking.

Outside the Mimicry True Realm.

In the Dominic Wilderness, within the valley where Zhou Yuanjue and his group had gathered.

The giant Earth Rock Worm lay sprawled on the ground, gazing in the direction of the Mimicry True Realm. A human-like, conflicted expression appeared on its ferocious face.

’I want to sneak away, but I’m afraid that crazy woman will cause trouble for me when she gets out. She might even roast me into a dried husk.’

Just as it was wrestling with its decision, preparing to wriggle its countless limbs and flee...

VMM!!

A beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, carrying a familiar aura that made the worm tremble.

’That woman... it seems she’s back.’

It immediately froze, prostrating itself once more. A sycophantic expression forced its way onto the worm’s ferocious face as it slowly approached the pillar of light.

The pillar of light dissipated, revealing Anjina.

As a loser on the Scales Battlefield, she had lost the right to continue fighting and had been teleported out of the Mimicry True Realm.

The moment she appeared, she sensed a strange creature approaching. Turning her head, she saw the giant Earth Rock Worm fawningly rubbing its head against her leg.

Anjina’s expression twitched, and she lashed out with a vicious kick.

BOOM!!

The poor Earth Rock Worm slammed hard against the distant valley wall.

With its low intelligence, it was difficult for the worm to grasp the concept that when a woman is in a bad mood, any attempt at flattery can easily backfire.

Anjina’s expression was grim. She couldn’t believe she had lost so completely on the Scales Battlefield.

’The Rune Abilities he used were unlike anything I’ve ever seen—so bizarre. But what terrified me most was that my own Energy couldn’t even damage him effectively. Under the power of his Ghost Seals, Bolaka seemed to have a terrifying immunity to Energy. And that final attack, fusing the Four Seals... it was horrifying. Even my Elemental Body was just... erased from existence, as if it had been completely annihilated on an energy level. It made no sense.’

’Until I can truly grasp the changes in the very ’nature’ of Elemental Energy, I’ll never be his opponent. He’s already forged his own path and might even bring something new to the Rune Civilization.’

’To think such a terrifying monster could come from a low-level civilization... Who could possibly defeat him? Do those few from the other civilizations stand a chance? Or... is he actually going to win it all?’

Anjina took a deep breath, a powerful sense of bitterness welling up inside her.

VMM!!

Just then, two more pillars of light descended from the sky into the valley.

Anjina’s expression faltered slightly.

When the light dissipated, she saw two familiar figures.

Irene and Bodante.

Anjina’s expression turned a little strange.

Irene and Bodante snapped out of their dazed states and glanced at each other.

"You’re out too?"

The three of them spoke in unison, then fell into a brief silence.

"I ran into Ghost Sealed Bolaka," Anjina said, speaking first. "That guy has already figured out how to change the properties of Elemental Energy and incorporate that into his Rune System. My Elemental Power was basically useless against him... I was no match. What about you two? Who did you face?"

"I faced Abyssal Artifact Nirute," Bodante said, his expression sour. "The amount of energy that guy has is terrifying. The ninety-nine secret apertures in his body are like a true abyss, storing at least ten times the energy of anyone else at our level. I didn’t realize that and tried to use my Dark Cave Ability to absorb his attacks and find a chance to counter. Instead, he forced my ability to its absolute limit..."

The abilities of the Youdong lineage were known as a bottomless abyss, yet his had been filled to the brim by another. He felt he had brought shame to his family’s name.

"I faced Qingling·Divine Intent," Irene said in a low voice. "That man has already fully awakened the ’Hundred Weapons Sacred Lotus.’ I was completely outmatched. With his power, he probably has a chance to win the final reward in this Mimicry True Realm."

After they had all shared their stories, the three exchanged a look of shared misery.

"The final stage just started, and the three of us are already out," Bodante said, unsure of what else to add. "This is just..."

"Dorobaku and Zhou Yuanjue aren’t out yet," Anjina said. "Maybe they won their first round? I wonder who they fought. They probably got lucky and didn’t run into anyone too strong."

DING!!

Just then, a notification chime echoed in their minds, halting their discussion.

"Second round of matchmaking is in progress. Detecting that members of the host’s team are still in combat. Spectator Mode enabled. You may now view your teammates’ ongoing battles."

A message from the True Talisman then entered their consciousness.

"There’s a function like that?"

The three of them exchanged surprised glances.

They used their will to activate the True Talisman Interface and, sure enough, saw a spectator portal on it.

Upon clicking the spectator portal, two screens of light appeared in their consciousness, each displaying a battle: one for Dorobaku, and one for Zhou Yuanjue.

The combatants for both battles had already appeared. On Dorobaku’s screen, his opponent was a tall figure with a beast-like face—the very same Abyssal Artifact who had defeated Bodante.

Meanwhile, Anjina turned her attention to the screen showing Zhou Yuanjue’s battlefield.

Her eyes narrowed.

Zhou Yuanjue’s opponent was none other than the man who had just defeated her.

Ghost Sealed Bolaka.

’He actually got matched with that guy...’

The memory of her own recent defeat was still vivid in her mind. Anjina could only lament Zhou Yuanjue’s luck.

······

······

On the vast, boundless battlefield of the Dream Realm.

Zhou Yuanjue and Bolaka stood facing each other.

"Huh? I’ve seen you before. Aren’t you that little follower of Dorobaku and Anjina’s? I’m surprised you actually made it to the second round. Looks like you’ve had some decent luck."

"Unfortunately for you, that luck ends here."

Bolaka looked at Zhou Yuanjue, a flicker of surprise giving way to a faint smile.

The five Ghost Seal Rune orbs behind him slowly revolved, as if some terrifying power was constantly combining and converging within them.

"Luck?" Zhou Yuanjue said calmly. "If meeting a suitable opponent is a form of luck, then I suppose it is."

"I can only hope this match brings me the same kind of ’luck’ as the last one."
