Chapter 40: Mode Conversion.

In the Trial World, various Monsters had a chance to drop keys after being killed, but just as recorded in Lux’s notes, this was limited to key drops; Creation Spells could not drop directly.

However, what Xiao Fen saw now was indeed not a key, but a separate spell, which surprised him somewhat.

For other items, Xiao Fen temporarily had no interest. The battle between Legendary Awakened was too high-end; he did not want to rashly participate, lest he die without knowing how.

But regarding this spell that dropped directly in violation of the Trial World rules, Xiao Fen was somewhat interested.

Whether it was a spell for manufacturing daggers or a spell for creating Stitched Monsters, for the current Xiao Fen, both played a very important role.

Even if he could not defeat the Legendary Awakened, facing Li Ruran and the others, having one more Creation Spell meant having one more measure of strength for self-preservation.

However, obtaining such a spell scroll was not easy. The battle between the two Legendary Awakened would sweep across a large area. Within this range, every position was extremely dangerous; a single careless move would lead to the same fate as those Demon Gods.

Moreover, Xiao Fen had observed that, so far, the battle between the two Awakened still belonged to a part of the Reality battle.

In other words, their battle process was still a replay of the World Tree. Xiao Fen had been in “Viewing Mode” the whole time. No one could take treasures out of the screen, no matter what kind of treasure it was.

To obtain that scroll, Xiao Fen had to switch himself from Viewing Mode to “Participation Mode.” He knew exactly how to switch, but whether to participate made him hesitate a bit.

Participating in the battle between the two Awakened, participating in changing history, in exchange for a Creation Scroll, was it really appropriate?

Xiao Fen could not measure it. He frowned slightly, calming himself down from his enthusiasm again, staring at the battlefield, lost in thought.

“First, it can be confirmed that, according to the mission, Participation Mode will always start; it is just a matter of time.”

“If forced to start Participation Mode, I will fall into extreme passivity, unclear when or how it will start, nor what situation I will face.”

“In that case, actively choosing a suitable time to switch modes will make me more proactive. Although this initiative is nothing in front of the Legendary Awakened, relative to the mission, it can occupy a certain advantage.”

Thinking of this, Xiao Fen immediately flipped down from the second floor, stood in the corner of the battlefield, stared at the increasingly fierce battle between the Awakened, and silently calculated the time in his heart.

Although only a few minutes had passed, the “Battle Theater Version” had now reached a critical moment.

The Fang of the Dark Hell in Farrah’s hand was still incredibly sharp, but his Stamina was starting to fall behind. In the short 30 seconds Xiao Fen spent judging and acting, Farrah had finished off four Demon Gods, but before his eyes, the number of Demon Gods had already increased to eight.

Of course, Jack was not having an easy time either. Using spells seemed to consume a considerable amount of Stamina, which made his creation process take longer and longer. Xiao Fen could already faintly hear Jack’s heavy panting.

Now!

Xiao Fen watched the moment Farrah’s feet exerted force again. He simultaneously summoned the Light Screen and issued a command on it. Above his head, those Webs began to rustle and move again.

When Farrah rushed in front of a Demon God, broke through its defense, and continued to surge inward, attracting the attention of the other Demon Gods and Jack.

Above their heads, countless ropes fell like rain, launching a fierce attack against all existences present.

In that instant, Xiao Fen could feel the surrounding environment change abruptly. The pressure from the two Legendary Awakened suddenly pressed down on him, and the huge wind pressure made Xiao Fen struggle to breathe for a moment.

Only then did he realize how terrifying the real battle between Awakened could be.

However, this also confirmed to him that the battlefield mode had changed. History had stopped performing from now on. From this moment, he was participating in it and beginning to change this history.

The two Legendary Awakened seemed not to have expected the Webs to suddenly launch an attack at this moment. By the time they realized this, those terrifying ropes were already within inches of them.

Ignoring the situation of those two Awakened, Xiao Fen’s body had already crossed several meters. With a beautiful forward roll, he picked up the spell from the ground.

Then Xiao Fen pulled himself up, made a side jump, wanting to extricate himself from the battlefield between the Legendary Awakened again, and hid behind a nearby pile of rubble.

Just then, he suddenly felt a pain in his ankle, and his entire body immediately lost balance, toppling to one side.

In the corner of his eye, some text suddenly appeared.

“You have been attacked by Jack, Health Value reduced by 17.”

“You are poisoned, losing 30 Health Value per minute for 3 minutes, unable to self-heal.”

This was the benefit of a Trialist, being able to clearly see one’s body data. Its sudden appearance at this moment, however, was not good news for Xiao Fen.

Xiao Fen turned his head to look; a small Bone Spur had already nailed into his ankle.

In another direction, Jack was looking this way. Although his face was completely covered by a hood, Xiao Fen could clearly feel that the corner of the other’s mouth was curling up. It was a hideous sneer.

As for those rope-like cords that fell like rain, they were of no use against Jack at all.

Behind Jack’s body, a giant bone tail had appeared at some unknown time. This bone tail, which looked capable of snapping a small building in half with a sweep, was constantly sweeping around Jack. Almost all the ropes were swept away by this tail permeated with a pale color. Even if a few ropes occasionally slipped through, they could not break Jack’s defense at all and bounced off one after another.

“Hey, boy, that is my private property. If you want to take it, shouldn’t you say something to me?”

In that instant, Xiao Fen felt his heart stop. An unprecedented sense of panic attacked him all at once.

Before this, he had already calculated that the battle between the two Legendary Awakened allowed for no distraction. Therefore, even if Farrah and Jack discovered Xiao Fen stealing that spell, they would mostly pretend not to see it and finish fighting first.

Moreover, a low-level spell was probably no different from a piece of waste paper in front of these two Awakened. Who knew how many such spells these Awakened possessed.

To go to the trouble of finding Xiao Fen for a tiny low-level Creation Spell—someone who could do that absolutely could not become a Legendary Awakened.

As for the reason Xiao Fen judged it was a low-level Creation Spell, it was actually quite simple. A spell had been lying on the ground for so long. If it were sufficiently precious, it would have been picked up by the two Awakened long ago; it wouldn’t be Xiao Fen’s turn to stare at it for so long.

Only those spells that were so low-level that the Awakened disdained to glance at them would be casually scattered on the street like this.

However, this thought was obviously ridiculously wrong.
