Sword Star looked at the suddenly appearing Bald Egg, a wry smile mixed with relief appearing on his face.

It wasn't that he appeared without any signs of battle; he really had barely fought at all.

Never mind Bald Egg being unable to predict it, even he didn't expect such a result.

Who would have thought that even Sword Star would have a day where he'd cruise through a dungeon, and it was with the help of a low-level newbie.

What, he just breezed through Peaceful Town? A monstrous newbie is still a newbie? Then that's fine.

At the start of the dungeon, Sword Star was very wary of Bald Egg hiding in the shadows, believing that this powerful Evil God worshiper was like a poisonous snake, ready to pounce and bite them at any moment. One had to always be on guard and leave some room for maneuver.

But now, instead, Sword Star welcomed Bald Egg to jump out and stir up trouble. Otherwise, by the time the whole Erosion Dungeon was completed, he would have acted even less than Scallion, and that would be awkward.

"Good timing!" Sword Star shouted, directing his Flying Sword to swiftly shoot towards Bald Egg.

Bald Egg's hard strength was already inferior to Sword Star's, and acting as the carrier for the malfunctioning dungeon along the way, it consumed much of his energy and stamina, widening the gap between them.

He originally thought compared to Sword Star tackling the Erosion Dungeon, his consumption would be nothing, but who would have thought Sword Star barely consumed any energy.

After all the effort spent creating an Erosion Dungeon, the result was that Sword Star trapped inside was in even better condition than him.

The painstakingly arranged setup resulted in a debuff for himself, and he couldn't accept it!

It had to be the Painter's problem with the Erosion Dungeon he provided!

No matter how much Bald Egg complained, he was unable to change the situation now.

The BOSS room formed by the Erosion Dungeon was prepared by him for the purpose of assassinating Sword Star. Once entered, it became sealed, and only one party's death would break the barrier.

It must be said, as a Candidate for the Holy Son of the Peace Church, Bald Egg had some strength to dare to challenge Sword Star.

His body was covered with runes that, during battle, he summoned forth, transforming into tangible spells, each carrying different power.

Whether it was fire burning, ice freezing, wind blade, or lightning strike...

Each one had immense momentum, and the battle with Sword Star was evenly matched for a time.

However, in Wu Chang's eyes as an observer, the battle had ended from the very beginning.

Bald Egg's Skills couldn't harm Sword Star, while Sword Star's every attack managed to inflict some Sword Qi damage on Bald Egg.

The reason they were temporarily at a stalemate was only due to Sword Star's caution, worried about Bald Egg's final counterattack before death.

Their battle also demonstrated to Wu Chang a high-level player's rhythm and approach to combat.

A player's strength might not compare to a BOSS, but the intensity of battle between players was no less than a BOSS fight.

The battle lasted nearly half an hour, longer than the time it took Wu Chang to take down the Tree of Miracles and the Great Miracle combined.

Sword Star finally forced out all of Bald Egg's trump cards, confirming the other side had no new tricks. Sword Star changed sword techniques and coldly shouted: "Torrential Rain Technique!"

Dozens of streams of Sword Qi erupted from the Flying Sword, hurtling towards Bald Egg like a fierce rainstorm.

Within the sword rain, Bald Egg's B-Level shield was pierced by the Flying Sword, with countless Sword Qi passing through his body, turning him into a sieve.

On the brink of death, Bald Egg was extremely resentful, looking up at the sky and angrily saying:

"Damn Painter, if it weren't for the fake Erosion Dungeon he gave me, if I had used Evil God's Gaze at full strength, you might not have been my match. Even in death, I won't spare that bastard!"

After speaking, Bald Egg closed his eyes and died with regret.

A deep crimson resentment flew out from his body, rushing into the distance, presumably attaching itself to the Painter.

After an Abyss Player's death, their personal space and bound Items are reclaimed by the Abyssal Game, only leaving behind special Items.

After Bald Egg's death, an ancient-looking book emerged from the corpse.

The ancient book automatically flew to Sword Star, the pages turning on their own without wind, flipping quickly.

From Wu Chang's perspective, the pages appeared blank, but Sword Star focused intently, occasionally showing a look of sudden realization.

As the Wordless Secret Scripture finished flipping through once, the gray sky covering Peace District dissipated like smoke, and the citizens of Wanghai City who were in the Erosion Dungeon seemed to awaken from a long dream, bewilderedly looking around.

What's happening, why am I here? What just happened?

Many people looked at the time and were shocked.

What the heck! How is it already four in the afternoon, why didn't I go to work!

Some more perceptive citizens could vaguely recall that earlier they seemed to follow the crowd, chanting something embarrassing.

But thinking carefully, they couldn't recall anything clearly, and that vague feeling, like a dream remembered upon waking, was quickly fading with awareness.

As the Erosion Dungeon dissolved, Wu Chang and Sword Star, who were in the Special Space, appeared in the central area of Peace District.

Looking around at the revitalized, seemingly untouched streets, Wu Chang felt a sense of unreality.

A malfunctioning B-Level Erosion Dungeon, finished just like that?

No, this isn't right, the dungeons I've encountered before aren't like this.

Never mind the true Evil God descending in Moonlight Sanatorium, even the Boss in the Peaceful Town and Tranquil Town C-Level dungeons were trying to seize the lives of all on Huai Mountain and reincarnate True Self, Chi Yuan; the other wanted to transform into an Evil God Count and harvest all planes, the sly Great Saint Mother.

Compared to them, is the Great Miracle, this alien, somewhat unworthy?

In terms of setup and presentation, the Great Miracle and the Tree of Miracles seemed like low-difficulty BOSSes forcibly elevated to the level of a B-Level dungeon, far less oppressive than the BOSSes in his previous dungeons.

Was the difficulty reduced because Heart's Desire was materialized through the Painter's ability?

Or perhaps this is the true difficulty of the Abyssal Game, that most Abyss Players face these kinds of dungeons?

Now it was Wu Chang's turn to feel sour.

While the Management Bureau dealt with the aftermath of the Erosion Dungeon, he started taking stock of this time's gains.

First, the Erosion Dungeon is still a dungeon. After the Breakthrough, Mortal Poison absorbed 1 Energy Point, bringing the total to 5/10.

Only half the progress remained to activate the Item.

Before today, he didn't have much hope for Mortal Poison, even considering its utility inferior to Shadow-Facing Face, especially after the Saint's Legacy Mask fused with Erin.

But hearing from Shi Ning that the Painter could rampage across Desolate Realm, unrestricted, with a single S-Level Item, even the Four Major Organizations and various Evil God worshipers avoided him.

Coupled with the fact that the Painter could even materialize a malfunctioning dungeon with an S-Level Item, he started re-evaluating the strength of S-Level Items.

Hoping that a fully charged Mortal Poison could bring him a pleasant surprise.

The second gain was experience points, a massive amount of experience points.

Four Dancing Puppets, one Miracle Committee member, plus the Tree of Miracles and the Great Miracle, provided him with a total of 15,160 experience points.

(15,860/3,400) —— (12,460/3,800) —— (8,660/4,200) —— (4,460/4,700).

The huge influx of experience instantly raised him by three and a half levels, bringing him to Level 15 (4,460/4,700) with 25 free Attribute Points.

At this rate, another completed dungeon would allow him to reach the Secret Magic Knight's reincarnation requirements, making it possible to consider starting the reincarnation quest.

The Tree of Miracles and the Great Miracle not only provided him with a lot of experience but also brought him a local specialty.

With the shattering of the Heart's Desire dungeon, Wu Chang originally thought "Great Miracle's Radiance" on him would go to waste. Unexpectedly, upon leaving the dungeon, this Status turned into a piece of multicolored stone shimmering with starlight.

"Item Name: Stone of Miracles"

"Item Type: Limited-Time Consumable"

"Item Description: It can fulfill one of your wishes. The difficulty level of the wish must not exceed the upper limit of a B-Level dungeon in the Desolate Realm. Item existence time remaining: 24 hours."

"Note: With the death of the last Miracle Walker, the Power of Miracles has begun to dissipate. You must make your final wish before the Power of Miracles completely disperses."
