Chapter 131: Disciple Of Death

Dying is not scary as it allows you to rest and lift off all of your burdens for the rest of your life. Of course, there are two ways of dying, dying from old age and the other way around where you die due to some reason.

It was a concept that is peaceful and has to be embraced eventually by every single person in this world and yet, many are afraid to die.

Because they are afraid to let go of all this world's physical possessions and other reasons many don't want to let go.

Although this kind of philosophy works in the real world as well, in this game, there are two deities who both govern Life and Death and both of them go in this same name.

The Goddess of Life is one of the popular goddesses in the game as she is the one who governs life and blessings that are commonly known by players as the holy buffs. Also, the shrines that heal players in some areas where you need to explore and cathedrals that allow the dead players to spawn back to life are all to praise the goddess.

If the Goddess of Life is popular, the Goddess of Death is the opposite. Due to her ability to take life, many didn't like her. They would constantly label her as the evil that causes chaos in humanity.

Since I have played the game, I am fully aware of her and she is not a bad goddess. She is the one who helps ease all the players in death and lore, she guides people back to the shrine of Life so that they can regain back their lives. As the only goddess capable of traversing the world of death, she is not in any way, associated with evil enemies.

It was only due to her ability that many people are trying to lump her into the evil enemies hence why many NPCs have a bad look at her and her disciples.

But to see someone as the Disciple of Death, and the Queen of Sandurk at that, it is quite a surprise.

Now that she wanted to test whether I am the one who is worthy of the Goddess's attention, she is trying to defeat me immediately. But, as a player who has already dueled her, this tactic is nothing.

Despite the countless debuffs along with the power to stop me from moving, it doesn't mean I am in a hopeless situation.

SMASH!

A bottle of blue liquid dropped to the ground and the liquid inside started to emit smoke around my body.

It was only a split second but the effects of the smoke worked wonderfully.

-All Status Ailments have been cured.

As soon as the message appeared, I immediately swing my sword and cut off all of the chains before pulling out another intermediate potion and chug it down to the last drop.

"Huh, so you got a Cleansing Smoke Bottle to counter my debuffs, impressive," Queen Tanya said as she withdraws her scythe from the ground after the attempts to defeat me using the chains were foiled.

As for how I was able to use the item without being able to move, taking items from the inventory is not affected by debuffs. Many players tend to forget that they can get items from the inventory as long as they are still alive or conscious. The only time this function won't work is if you are afflicted with Petrification and if you lose all of your HP and died.

As for the Cleansing Smoke Bottle, it is one of the best AOE Debuff Cleansing potions available in the game. It is not used by drinking, instead, you use it by throwing it to the ground which in turn, it will turn the liquid into a cloud of smoke that will in turn heal any sort of debuff no matter how strong it is. But it also has a downside, the more players getting healed, the weaker the effect of the potion do. Since I am the only one who is healed, all of the debuffs that was inflicted to me by Queen Tanya was easily dispelled.

The potion is not something I crafted yet since I needed to come here in Sandurk to procure items to create it. That bottle was only a lucky find I found on the scammy merchant earlier which costs me 100,000 gold. Considering that this potion will only be sold for 10,000 gold normally, I know I got scammed 90,000 gold but that doesn't mean it isn't worth. It just saved my life just now.

Now that I am free, I only need to hold on for another 1 minute before the trial is over. However, Queen Tanya will not just stand there and do nothing. She will do her best to eliminate me immediately without holding back. And since 1 minute is enough for me to last this long, it is time to stop using range and constant dodging.

I wave out the Versatile Weapon and change it to a spear and shield once more. Putting the shield in front of me and the spear beside it, I dashed forward towards Queen Tanya and immediately push the spear forward to her.

"That won't work!" she quickly parried spear I used to stop it from reaching her body. However, that was enough for me to find an opportunity.

"[Shield Bash]!"

BANG!

Queen Tanya did not see it coming and was immediately sent flying.

-You have dealt 100 damage!

-You inflicted Stun (Mild) to Queen Tanya!

The damage is pitiful but what I really want to proc is the stun as that is more useful than the damage knowing that she is someone with massive defense and insane lifesteal capabilities. So [Shield Bash] might be weak in terms of damage but this is enough to be used as something to stall enemies whenever needed.

Once she was stunned, I quickly changed my weapon to a bow and waited for the stun to disperse. Since it was just mild stun, the stun will only last for 5 seconds but that is enough to change my Versatile weapon into another form. Once the transformation has changed my shield and spear to bow and arrow, I fired a [Trueshot-Leg] arrow to her direction and even without aiming the arrow to her leg, I didn't have to worry since it is a homing one. No matter how inaccurate you are in shooting and you are bad at FPS shooters, this arrow will never miss and will always hit the knee of the enemy. You can say that this is the bane of the knights which will force most of them to retire to the countryside after taking an arrow to their knees.

The moment Queen Tanya recovers from her stun, she realized she was restricted to movements due to the [Movement Nullification] that allowed me to stop her on her tracks.

Queen Tanya gritted her teeth. Although she has great healing capabilities due to her lifesteal powers, that doesn't mean she has the ability to cleanse debuffs. Reaper class has no skill to counter debuffs and heal them. So even if she is capable of dealing massive damage, that doesn't mean she can easily escape them.

"Pretty clever, but that doesn't mean I can't attack you when you are far away!"

She taps her scythe to the ground once before waving it in the air. The maw that has been looking too ferocious has finally revealed its fangs and extended with flexibility. With the time limit almost over, she is now using all of the quick things that can burst down my health in one go.

"[GRAND MAW OF DEATH!]"

And before the maw of the scythe reach my body, the mission in my quest board has changed to completed. I sighed in relief before my body was swallowed by the [Grand Maw of Death], reducing all my health to zero.

-You have died.
