/ Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later Chapter 93 – 93 Calm Mania
93 Calm Mania
Everything happened too suddenly. The tower guardian didn't even have the time to react.
She saw the Thorn City envoy suddenly extend his hand above the Mad Box. Then, a shadow was torn open, and something disappeared from his hand.
The next moment, the seemingly stable seals around them cracked like ice on a lake.
The seals quickly shattered and dissipated one after another.
The impregnable appearance of the 77 seals was all an illusion. The protection they could provide was vulnerable to the power of a top Lunar Monster like a Demon General.
Something rolled out of the Mad Box, but the intense light emitted when the seal shattered prevented her from seeing it clearly.
Before her eyes could adapt to the light, a sigh echoed throughout the Sealing Room.
“Ah…”
Deep and distant.
It was like the echo of a dying person.
The moment she heard this voice, the tower guardian felt her thoughts slow down.
It was as if she had been pulled into a long nightmare. Everything became very distant. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move her body at all.
Under this feeling, she lost control of her body. All the muscles in her body couldn't help but twitch, and saliva began to flow from the corner of her mouth.
“Hehehehahaha…”
A woman's silly laughter echoed in her ears. The voice sounded like the schizophrenic patients she had taken care of at Ring City Sanatorium.
After a while, the tower guardian suddenly realized that the laughter didn't come from anywhere else but from her throat—she couldn't help herself from giggling foolishly.
The Demon General's mere sigh made her feel like she was going crazy.
It was also at this moment that she, the tower guardian of the Astral Lighthouse, finally received support from the lighthouse.
A huge amount of mana surged out of the Astral Observatory at the top of the lighthouse and circled her to block the terrifying mental damage. Instantly, she kept panting as if she had just run 10,000 meters. Her entire body was drenched in sweat, and she shakily supported herself from collapsing immediately.
Only then did she regain control of her body.
How's that envoy?
The moment her mind recovered, she immediately cast her gaze at the Mad Box at the end of the Sealing Chamber.
She could only barely withstand the Demon General's mental corruption even with the support of the Astral Lighthouse. And that person was so close. Could he be…
As her gaze turned to the end of the Sealing Chamber, she saw an unforgettable scene.
After putting away the soul fragment, William looked at the cracking Mad Box and couldn't help but raise his guard.
Demon Generals were a secondary extension of a Void Sovereign's domain. Compared to the seemingly endless number of other spawns, every Void Sovereign had less than two Demon Generals. To the Void Sovereign, every Demon General lost was an extremely heavy loss.
To a certain extent, it wasn't an exaggeration to call the Demon General a fragment of the Void Sovereign's power.
And when the Void Sovereign's main body or incarnation couldn't personally appear in Currere, Demon Generals were theoretically the pinnacle of Lunar Monsters that could appear in Currere.
Or to use a more intuitive example—because of their close connection to the Void Sovereign's domain, only by using Judgment equipment that corresponded to their master could they completely eliminate the Demon Generals. Otherwise, they would only be exiled from Currere.
In other words, William could only banish this Demon General named Mania back to the Moon Realm; he couldn't kill him completely.
Not even a thousand years ago.
This was because Mania's master was the crazy and foolish jester, Valk.
He was the only Void Sovereign among the 13 who had won the bet against the Moon Deceiver, Demuge.
Therefore, there was no corresponding Judgment equipment for Valk, and no Demon General under His command could be vanquished.
Back then, the Judges had killed almost all the Demon Generals under the Void Sovereigns, greatly weakening the Moon Realm. However, the Judges had always been helpless against the Demon Generals under Absurdity Jester.
Therefore, for this high-profile battle, William specially went to the Treasure Hall to change into a set of countermeasure equipment to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Whisperer Clothes, Sleep Ring, Seal of Rest, Iceheart Pendant…
If it were in-game, his mental resistance to madness would probably be stacked to the point of complete immunity.
Of course, there was a price to this. Although there were many abnormal mental states in-game, they were roughly categorized into two major categories—frenzy and retardation. The higher resistance of one status would cause the other party's resistance to the other to decrease.
Resistance in these two categories couldn't be combined.
In addition, the magical medium William carried was the divine weapon, Dead Lead, that countered the other party's Metal spells.
Metal spells were also known as Death spells.
As the final stage of Creatons solidifying into crystals, Metal symbolized the infinite possibilities of turning into the coldest reality.
For magic, losing all possibilities was true death. Therefore, it was also called a Death spell.
Therefore, it was best to use rigid metal spells to resist Lunar Monsters like Mania who specialized in mental corruption.
Mania's mental attacks could detonate Fire spells in advance and make Storm spells lose complete control, but it couldn't affect Metal spells at all.
This was the experience he had accumulated when farming the Mania dungeon in the Baroque Kingdom's palace back then.
William, who was fully prepared, looked at the Mad Box that kept producing cracks and waited solemnly.
With a crack, the Mad Box sealing Mania completely shattered.
A humanoid creature about the height of two people wearing grayish-white crystal armor and whose skin was as stiff as a stone statue fell out of the metal box.
During this period, it didn't do any protective actions and allowed itself to roll off the platform and onto the Sealing Chamber's floor. It only stopped when it collided with a pillar in the Sealing Chamber.
Even so, it didn't do anything. It didn't even stand up and lay on its back on the ground, its eyes lifeless.
A few seconds later, it let out a long sigh. Its voice seemed to be filled with dissatisfaction with the fickleness of the world and indignation at fate.
William heard its sigh and immediately felt his thoughts freeze.
It's not a frenzy effect, but a retardation effect…
Sensing that his movements had become sluggish, William immediately realized the problem.
Could it be that the other party isn't Mania? Has everyone been deceived?
However, there was no time to think about this carefully.
William immediately removed the many frenzy resistance buffs on his body and constantly cast resistance spells on his body that targeted slow effects.
At the same time, he constantly took off the items with frenzy resistance and threw them into his inventory.
Reality wasn't like the game where one could switch equipment in a second by calling out the menu. William did this for nearly 20 seconds. During this period, he kept his guard up against possible attacks from the other party.
If the other party suddenly attacked at this moment, he could only fight the other party amidst all the negative status ailments.
However, the other party didn't. It lay on its back in a daze, motionless.
It didn't even sigh again.
It remained the same even after William finished recasting his status buffs.
William walked to the Demon General's side.
The other party still didn't move.
William observed carefully. This Demon General was indeed Mania…
Its appearance and armor were in the same Mania state as before, but the color of its armor and skin had changed from bright red to deathly gray.
In addition, its behavior had changed from its previous seizure-like state to its current disregard for everything around it.
What was going on?
William poked the other party's head with the Dead Lead staff.
Mania finally reacted. It turned its face to William in a daze.
Then, it opened its mouth with difficulty and said to William incoherently like a retarded child,
“Calamity… My lord, Valk, said that you would definitely come. He wants to have a chat with you.”
Just as he finished speaking, thick black smoke suddenly emitted from the shattered fragments of the Mad Box, enveloping the entire Sealing Chamber.
Then, wild laughter that seemed to vomit out its lungs sounded from all directions.
