Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Another effortless one-shot kill. 

The seemingly oppressive level 200 Lord-level boss, Medusa, couldn't even withstand a single strike from John's Divine Blade. 

Even John himself hadn't expected such a casual swing to possess such immense power.

Hovering in midair, he stroked his chin and mused aloud, "This Queen Medusa is all show and no substance. She's so fragile?"

In his memory, Queen Medusa, while not a top contender in the abyss, was still a mid-tier entity among the Lord-level bosses. 

Why did she seem so pitifully weak?

John himself was oblivious to the fact that his current power far surpassed his own expectations. 

Not to mention mid-tier abyssal lords, even the mightiest of them would struggle to resist the power of his two strokes.

The hierarchy of power in the game Godslayer is quite explicit. 

Those beneath god-level are mere bugs.

Medusa's head hit the ground with a thud, her eyes still filled with terror and confusion until the moment of her death. 

The once infamous "beauty snake" didn't understand why a human could possess the aura of The Devil.

"Thud!"

As Medusa's head fell, her massive body followed. 

It quickly turned into a faint light and disappeared. 

Only a pile of ashes and a treasure chest were left behind.

[You have killed the Lord-level boss Queen Medusa (Unique)]

The system prompt appeared in the air.

Not far away, Blue Sea and the others still had their eyes tightly shut. 

They had no idea what had actually transpired at the scene. 

They felt something was off, wondering why everything had suddenly become silent.

In the aftermath of Queen Medusa's fury, the entire area had shaken violently. 

But now, everything had inexplicably quieted down.

Blue Sea was tempted to open his eyes and check the situation. 

But he was afraid of Medusa's inherent ability to petrify indiscriminately. 

He could only suppress his curiosity, praying in his heart that John could handle this powerful Lord-level boss.

"Job done, you guys can come over now," John's nonchalant voice echoed out. 

However, after waiting for a while, he realized that Blue Sea and the others were still motionless. 

Shaking his head with slight frustration, he repeated, "The boss has been dealt with. What are you guys doing standing there with your eyes closed? You didn't fall asleep, did you?"

Only then did Blue Sea and the others cautiously open their eyes.

"Seriously? You took care of it so quickly?" Their first reaction was disbelief. 

They even suspected that John's voice was just an illusion created by Medusa's mental attack, which is why they didn't dare to come over when John first called them.

How much time had passed? 

Half a minute? 

A minute? 

Even against an ordinary level 200 monster, it couldn't be killed so quickly, right?

It wasn't until they saw the pile of ashes and the glowing treasure chest on the ground that Blue Sea finally accepted the truth, which was followed by profound shock.

"You… you really killed Medusa? That's a level 200 Lord-level big boss!" Blue Sea, his eyes widened, rushed over to John. 

In his excitement, he even forgot to check whether the treasure chest contained the key he desired.

John rolled his eyes and replied somewhat irritably, "I already told you, I could handle it. Do you really need to be this surprised?"

Blue Sea looked flabbergasted, "Galewind, I knew you were strong, but I didn't expect you to be this insane. This isn't some ordinary mob, this was Queen Medusa!"

John gave him a sidelong glance. 

In his memory, Blue Sea was always calm and composed, a person who could maintain his composure even if the sky fell. 

Now, why was he acting so hysterical, exhibiting such a range of body language?

John hadn't realized just how astounding his accomplishment was. 

In his mind, it was a foregone conclusion that he would defeat Queen Medusa, it was merely a matter of how many strokes it would take.

Aside from Blue Sea, the expressions of the others were even worse. 

They stared wide-eyed, looking stupefied. 

They would glance at the pile of ashes on the ground and then back at John, as if they had seen a ghost.

"I mean, you guys are part of the Blue Sea guild, a top-tier guild ranked in the top 10 globally. How come you're acting like country bumpkins who have never seen the world?" John shook his head somewhat speechlessly, "It's just the defeat of a Lord-level boss, you guys are overreacting."

His words left everyone speechless.

After a moment, Blue Sea finally regained his usual composure. 

The shock on his face gradually faded. 

After some thought, he said to John, "Galewind, since you single-handedly defeated the boss, you should open the treasure chest."

John didn't decline, stepping forward to open the chest. 

A few dazzling orange rays of light flashed and vanished, nearly blinding everyone. 

Four quite decent pieces of equipment burst out of the chest.

Among them was the key item that Blue Sea had been longing for. 

The moment the orange light shone, everyone on the scene excitedly gathered around. 

Some players' eyes were even shining, as if a glutton had encountered a world-class delicacy.

In Godslayer, orange symbolizes legendary equipment. 

This is second only to high-level weapons and equipment at the divine level. 

So far, only a few pieces have been dropped server-wide. 

And now, there were four pieces right in front of them. 

How could they not be tempted?

Fortunately, these players were core members of the Blue Sea guild and had experienced big scenes before. 

If they were independent players, they might be fighting over the equipment by now.

John inspected the attributes of the equipment one by one, nodding his head in satisfaction: "The properties of these pieces of equipment are quite good, at least it wasn't a wasted trip."

The equipment was:

[Medusa's Tears (Legendary Necklace)]: Formed from the despairing tears that Queen Medusa shed when she left the abyss. Legend has it that within the endless abyss, Queen Medusa once bore the important mission of revitalizing the Medusa race, but because she chose the wrong side, she was forced to leave the abyss and was exiled to the lower-level Dark Spirit Realm. Knowing that she could no longer revitalize her race, Queen Medusa shed tears of sorrow. 

[Level: 200, wearable when reaching level 200 or Intelligence 800 and above.] 

[Attributes: +1000 HP, +600 Intelligence, +150 Magic Resistance, +150 Physical Resistance, +20% True Damage.] 

[Attached Skill: Soul Rip (Advanced), Queen Medusa's famous skill. When released, it can temporarily disturb the minds of all enemies within 500 yards, making the enemies lose their ability to fight for two minutes. If the skill is used on a boss or regular monster below this level, it can control them to fight for the user for 30 minutes. Cooldown: Three hours.] 

... 

[Serpent King's Blade (Legendary Weapon)]: The inherited weapon of the Medusa race. The legendary first Queen Medusa's spine bone was used to make it, and it has since become the symbol of each generation of Medusa Queens.]

[Level: 200, usable when reaching level 200 or Speed 1000 and above.] 

[Attributes: +500 Speed, +300 Stamina, +450 Attack, +25% Armor Penetration.] 

[Attached Skill 1: Fang of the Giant Serpent (Passive), the weapon comes with a strong poison effect. Each attack hit can cause 250 points of severe bleeding per second, lasting for 30 seconds, and cannot be removed.] 

[Attached Skill 2: Ultimate Petrification (Advanced), each attack hit on the enemy will cause a rapid petrification effect. The speed of petrification spread will decrease successively according to the enemy's resistance. During petrification, Defense is reduced by 80%, and Armor Penetration is increased by 40%.] 

...

[Ethan's Key (Legendary Item)]: The mysterious key that famous human explorer Ethan carried with him. It later became a trophy of Queen Medusa and is said to open Ethan's treasure trove left in the human world.]

John carefully played with the golden key in his hand. 

The intricate and beautiful patterns on it were full of a sense of mystery. 

This was Blue Sea's biggest goal for this trip. 

Seeing Blue Sea's eager gaze next to him, John smiled slightly and casually threw the key over.

"Here, the key you've been dying to find."

Blue Sea quickly caught it and after examining the key's properties, he sighed, "Finally got it, this risky trip was worth it after all."

Before John could say a word, Seth muttered from the side, "Boss, doesn't it seem like we didn't run into much danger on our way here? Feels easier than our usual dungeon raids."

Blue Sea shot him a displeased look, "That's because we had Galewind with us. If we were on our own, it's hard to say if we could even get here."

Everyone else agreed wholeheartedly with Blue Sea's words.

However, at this moment, John paid no heed to their praises. 

His attention was wholly focused on the last piece of loot in the chest.

Calling it 'loot' didn't feel quite right.

Because the last item was an oval-shaped, white, giant egg.
