Chapter 287 He Must Have Seen the Ending in Advance!
Rita emptied her potion bag, throwing out every healing potion she had—low, medium, high-tier, and even a few special-grade potions Hecipah had rewarded her with.
[Ten Thousand Volts]!
Thousands of potion bottles shattered in an instant, their contents merging with the surrounding water.
If Miyaas' skeletal form could still suffer negative effects from seawater, then there was no reason why positive effects couldn't also work.
Daughter's Whiskey was a no-go; the whale was too massive. Even with over 800ml of the whiskey poured in, she couldn't control how much Miyaas would absorb or what stage of the effect might be triggered.
After this, she raised her left hand, locking Miyaas' Luck to 1. Although she couldn't see his exact stats, the modification succeeded!
In her right hand, she activated Fountain of Light—a pure, radiant healing skill.
"If this doesn't heal you to death, I'll admit defeat," she muttered.
Still not enough.
She activated [I Want This, That, and That] four times in rapid succession, the repeated strain pushing her own HP to 20%. The poisonous herbs she had consumed earlier brought it down further—below 10%.
The currents blocking Nivalis' healing skills left Miyaas seemingly unchanged. Rita couldn't be sure if she was currently at a disadvantage.
But this was Miyaas' domain. Even if he had weakened himself drastically, his sheer level disparity—at least ten times greater than hers—naturally put her in an inferior position.
Yet she still couldn't use Moment of Reversal, for one crucial reason: Miyaas hadn't attacked her.
He had meticulously avoided crossing that line from the moment he made his presence known.
The water hand and mechanical chains had never harmed her; the latter were carving beneficial runes onto her body.
The chilling herbs that froze her body and mind increased her resistances.
The soul-binding melody inflated her maximum HP by 10%.
In short, every method he employed was technically "helping" her, not harming her.
Thinking about Miyaas' clear precautions against Moment of Reversal, Rita grew suspicious. Had he really not foreseen his fate?
Could all these elaborate preparations have been based on a single clue?
No way.
People who claim to love mystery often peek at the ending first.
For Miyaas to plan so thoroughly against Moment of Reversal, while also preemptively sealing Nivalis' time-reversal ability, there was no doubt in her mind: He must have seen the ending!
Miyaas attempted to recall the hand, and Rita felt it resisting her grip. Without hesitation, she plunged the bone's fingers into her left eye and released her hold.
Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
The hand, now embedded in her eye socket, was pulled back to Miyaas. Blood gushed from her wound.
Whether or not Miyaas' first attempt counted as an attack, his second strike ensured it.
Rita reached for the two six-pointed star arrays, realizing Moment of Reversal was still unusable. Her limbs grew colder and more sluggish by the second.
Her blood spread in the water, forming crimson tendrils. She could sense her HP dropping—down to 3%. Still not enough?
No—too much!
Suddenly, she recalled the racial trait she had painstakingly chosen during the beta test.
[Undead Will]: As one who is already dead, the deeper your peril, the stronger your resolve. When HP drops below 5%, all attributes double. When HP drops below 1%, your current attributes double again.
Drinking a healing potion stored in her false tooth, she raised her HP to 6%.
Immediately, Moment of Reversal became available.
Without hesitation, she activated it, targeting the two six-pointed star arrays.
In the blink of an eye, the arrays swapped places.
A notification appeared:
"You are devouring the sea demon Miyaas' Divine Gift: [Thief God] to evolve your Divine Gift."
The entire exchange—from retrieving the skeletal hand to activating Moment of Reversal—had taken less than two seconds.
As the skeletal hand returned to Miyaas, the two six-pointed stars fired at each other.
The radiant Fountain of Light still glowed in the background, healing the surrounding area.
Nivalis continued to bombard the whale with skills, shouting: "Are you okay?!"
Rita reassured her: "I'm fine! Everything's under control!"
Nivalis hesitated but began to calm down: "Really?"
Rita: "Not entirely. Stay put and wait for my signal."
Celebrating prematurely was a grave mistake—just look at Miyaas. He'd been grinning at her moments ago. Where was his smug smile now?
