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

"What do we do then? Just give up?" 

Blue Sea clenched his fists, reluctant to let it go.

However, at that moment, John suddenly chuckled, "What's the rush? Just because you guys can't handle it doesn't mean I can't!"

Blue Sea looked surprised, "So, you can take care of it?"

John clapped him on the shoulder and solemnly said, "We've known each other for so long, when have you ever seen me bluff?"

Hearing John's words, Blue Sea felt a great weight lifted off his chest. 

Indeed, throughout their acquaintance, he never recalled John boasting. 

John always delivered on his promises. 

That was the key reason why Blue Sea wanted to maintain a good relationship with him.

As the leader of a top 10 guild worldwide, Blue Sea wasn't interested in a professional player's skills. 

What mattered was whether the player had an appealing trait.

After experiencing the mishap with a team member earlier, the rest of the team dared not overlook any detail in this eerie cavern. 

They all kept their eyes straight ahead, not daring to glance at the cave walls again.

However, John seemed to be fascinated by the murals on the walls, admiring them as he walked along.

Blue Sea, growing curious, asked, "Strange, why aren't you affected by The Eye of Medusa?"

John smiled faintly, saying lightly, "Do you really need to ask? Of course, it's because my resistance can counteract The Eye of Medusa's petrification effect."

Blue Sea gaped, surprised, "Your resistance is that high? The one who got caught earlier was our guild's heavy armored warrior with maxed out resistance of all sorts, and he couldn't withstand it for even a second! You've managed to hold out this long?"

Facing Blue Sea's astonishment, John merely smiled, not giving a direct response. 

In reality, the petrification effect of The Eye of Medusa was continuously at work on him. 

However, with John's current attributes, this petrification was as inconsequential as a mosquito bite, incapable of breaking his defense.

In fact, even John wasn't sure of his exact resistance level against control effects. 

But at the very least, bosses below the god tier, regardless of how bizarre their control abilities might be, should not be able to affect him!

As they proceeded, John found himself increasingly captivated by the content of the murals. 

They depicted intriguing stories, recounting Medusa's past experiences.

In this game, Medusa was not as outrageous as in real-world mythology, where she was a demon fallen from godhood due to a curse. 

The Medusa in game was originally a lord of the undead from the abyss, her power fairly moderate.

During an internal battle among demigods in the abyss, Medusa, having backed the wrong side, was punished after her defeat by being banished to the Dark Spirit Realm.

These scattered fragments corroborated with the memories John inherited from The Devil in his mind, deepening his understanding of the Abyss. 

He had been curious because, according to his memory, Medusa shouldn't appear in the Dark Spirit Realm but should reside in the Abyss, with a higher level and greater strength. 

Now he had found the reason.

... 

The team continued downwards, not knowing how long they had been traveling underground. 

Finally, a weathered stone gate appeared ahead.

"It seems we've finally reached our destination. Behind this door, we should meet the legendary Queen Medusa," John's nonchalant voice immediately put everyone on high alert.

They unconsciously gripped their weapons tighter, fully on guard. 

The strange incidents they had experienced along the way had made them all jumpy. 

Just the images on the murals were enough to catch off guard a high-level, heavily-armored warrior.

It was imaginable how formidable Queen Medusa's strength must be. 

Blue Sea raised his staff, secretly accumulating magical power, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be on your guard, maintain battle formation. We are about to enter the boss's detection range."

John added quietly, "In fact, since the moment we entered the cave, we've been discovered by Medusa. The eyes on the murals are her warning to us."

These words made everyone even more nervous. 

Their stealthy infiltration had been under the boss's watchful eyes all along. 

This fact cast a shadow over their hearts.

The sense of oppression was too strong!

John, however, remained quite calm. 

Looking at the closed stone door, he wondered, "What puzzles me is, why hasn't Queen Medusa appeared when we've come this far? It's not like her. She should prefer to hunt actively."

Blue Sea said somewhat helplessly, "Bro, if you have any information, please spill it. Hearing what you just said, I'm getting cold feet."

John chuckled, and shared his guess, "If I'm not mistaken, Medusa must be preoccupied with something more urgent, so she doesn't have time to deal with us uninvited guests."

"What could it be?" Blue Sea looked puzzled.

John slowly shook his head, then boldly stepped forward and pushed open the heavy stone door, "We'll know what it is once we go inside."

With a creak, the door opened, seemingly untouched for a long time. 

As a crack appeared, a faint mist wafted out. 

A thick, bloody smell immediately filled everyone's nostrils.

Without needing Blue Sea's reminder, the priests and paladins in the team proactively cast a purification effect on everyone in case the mist was toxic.

John continued to push until the door was wide enough for a person to pass, then swiftly stepped inside. 

To his surprise, the space inside the door was incredibly spacious.

The floor was paved with blue stone slabs. 

It was devoid of skeletons and bloodstains, and was instead rather clean.

This was a hemispherical space, with thick stone walls covered in serpent carvings that spread up to the domed ceiling. 

In the very center of the space was a high altar. 

A stunningly beautiful, naked woman lay leisurely on the altar, looking at the group entering the room with a playful gaze.

"Mortal, daring to disturb the rest of the great Queen Medusa, are you prepared to die?" 

The enchanting woman opened her lips slightly, and her naturally seductive voice echoed in the air, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

At this moment, almost everyone's gaze became increasingly vacant. 

They stupidly stared at the alluring woman on the altar, their eyes filled with primal desire.

[Soul Rip: Queen Medusa's exclusive skill. It uses the voice as a medium to interfere with enemy cognition, delivering a charming mental attack that subdues all enemies beneath her beauty.]

This high-level mental attack was not something Blue Sea and his guild members could resist. 

Just a single sentence had them all spellbound.

  Only John remained expressionless, looking over Queen Medusa's enticing body with interest.

This game, "God Slayer," is a real masterpiece. 

Look at this beautifully rendered woman - so lifelike! John marveled inwardly.

The alluring woman on the altar had a slender figure with perfect curves. 

Her bare chest featured two rosy points that stood tall atop her tender breasts, making one yearn to play with them. 

Down from her full chest, her waist was slim and easy to hold. 

Further down was a delicate, hairless area. 

Her long, flawless legs were gently crossed. 

Along with her face that could overthrow nations, it was no wonder that men around the world fell for her.

However, when John's gaze fell on Queen Medusa's abdomen, he quietly furrowed his brows. 

Seeing her pronounced belly, he finally understood why they had only encountered Medusa upon reaching this point. 

This snake like woman was pregnant!

"I was wondering why you didn't show up even though you knew we were here. Turns out you're with child," John's joking voice rang out, instantly drawing Medusa's attention.

The enchanting gaze that could topple beings fell on John. 

Her arched eyebrows subtly furrowed, "Human, you seem to be different from the others..."

John's smile was playful as he said lightly, "Of course, your mental attack seems unable to affect me. So put away these tiresome tricks. As long as I'm here, you won't be able to fully control my companions."

Queen Medusa snorted lightly. 

Whether out of apprehension of John, she obediently dispelled the Soul Rip.

Blue Sea and the guild members suddenly snapped back to reality. 

Afterward, when they looked at Medusa on the altar, there was no more lust or obsession, just pure apprehension.

That was terrifying! 

For a moment, everyone's consciousness seemed to no longer belong to them, and they became like dazed puppets.

Everyone cast a detection spell at Medusa.

[Queen Medusa (Lord-level boss)] 

[Race: Undead] 

[Level: 200] 

[Attributes: ???] 

Everyone immediately drew a sharp breath. 

Good heavens, it was a Lord-level boss!! 

And, terrifyingly, at level 200. 

How were they supposed to fight this boss?
