Chapter 963: Chapter 506: Twisted Balance and Fragment_3
Only Mephit looked at the empty lair, lost in thought.
After collecting the monster ashes, Rod and the others left with the injured.
Upon returning to the surface, Rod realized that this was the other side where the sewer was blocked.
Perhaps the collapse of the Starry Sky City’s sewers was caused by this monster.
Fortunately, the King of Worms is dead, and the threat in the commercial district no longer exists. The remaining scattered monsters do not pose a problem.
Rod quickly found Kashan on the other side of the commercial district.
Her combat achievements were also impressive; she has killed eleven Profanity Warriors and cleared one-fifth of the area, garnering significant rewards.
Her companions protected her well, and she wasn’t hurt.
When Rod met her, Kashan was full of energy and looked at him with eager eyes.
Rod was very surprised: "You seem very relaxed, you haven’t used your full strength..."
Kashan said gruffly: "My fury is limited, full-force attacks deplete quickly. I’m not stupid; we’ve found these Profanity Warriors’ weaknesses; they easily fall for it. When they use the vortex to absorb people, their defenses are poor; I can kill them with a few punches without much effort."
Rod was pleasantly surprised that Kashan had become so reliable, so he joined the team to continue clearing the commercial district.
Not long after, Chucher and the seventh team of warriors gradually woke up. Upon learning of the miracle Rod had created, they were astonished and joined the cleaning team.
Thus, the cleaning efficiency greatly improved, and Rod occasionally teased Kashan to increase her fury.
Her Fury Fist and his [Divine Strike] have similarities; however, the cost and power of Fury Fist are greater.
Kashan can deliver punches with up to a hundred times the power, but such heavy punches will backfire on her soul, affecting her Spark of Fury.
She typically uses a power of forty to fifty times, never exceeding eighty times.
Although much higher than the 27 times of [Divine Strike], the cost is also higher.
Rod can still use [Divine Strike], but the cooldown time has extended to over ninety seconds.
Whereas Kashan’s fury allows only a few punches, at most dozens, and it places a heavy burden on her spirit and body; constant rage is not feasible.
[Divine Strike] has no side effects; its essence is actually to use Spiritual Energy to the extreme rather than amplify Spiritual Energy with fury.
Nonetheless, the application of both should have commonality; in battles, Rod carefully guided Kashan, while quietly absorbing her combat experience.
Both gained significant progress from this battle.
When Rod struck down the last Profanity Warrior, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of him.
Disaster Relief, Hope Enhancement, Divinity +60
A smile immediately appeared on Rod’s face.
This battle was a huge gain!
"Clean up complete!"
Rod raised his voice.
"There is no threat in the commercial district!"
Huge cheers erupted within the team as the warriors excitedly embraced those around them, celebrating this hard-won victory.
Chucher even gave Rod a bear hug, excitedly saying: "The commercial district is taken; our cleaning progress can greatly speed up; nothing can impede our pace."
"As expected of you, our hero!"
The team suddenly shouted his name in unison, even Kashan joined.
Her fury dissipated, her face blushing as she looked at the man’s back, shouting along with everyone.
"Rod!"
"Rod!"
"Our hero, your name shall be permanently remembered, black rice bucket!"
If not for those last four words, this moment would be perfect.
Rod successfully completed the mission without losing any teammates, wrapping things up perfectly.
Molly redeployed a team, planning to establish a temporary base in the commercial district to facilitate further clearing of the vast Starry Sky City.
Their gains were handed over to the Mechanical Research Institute’s researchers, who worked diligently, inspecting every item carefully.
The monster ashes were handed over to the Byron Pharmacy’s Master, who would use these strong monster ashes to create more potions and save more warriors’ lives.
And Rod finally had time to return to the Dream Realm.
