I'm Going to Cheat!

Night held the sword in his hand, feeling as if it was a hot potato.

If he hadn't given Hector the sword, Hector could at least be fighting with Durandal now.

Although wanted to throw the sword back to Hector, but it wouldn't be easy.

If Achilles intercepted it mid-flight, already having the divine spear, obtaining the holy sword would make the demigod even more formidable.

Cold sweat poured down Night's forehead.

Think—think quickly,

How can I break this deadlock in front of me!

Cough, cough...!

Night spat out blood, feeling increasingly weak.

Time was too short,

There was no good plan, but Night knew the demigod had a fatal weakness— Achilles, having bathed in the River Styx, gained an invulnerable body.

But since his mother held his ankles to prevent him from being washed away, his heels didn't get immersed in the river, making them his only weak spot.

As a blessing-like iron body, when his only weakness is pierced,

The invulnerable, undying buff could temporarily fail, causing severe injury.

The Prince of Troy Paris shot an arrow through his ankle, ultimately ending this unstoppable hero's life.

This hero's body wasn't as strong as others like Siegfried, who bathed in dragon's blood to become invulnerable.

Even if Siegfried was hit in the foot, he wouldn't die so easily.

"—Heel." Night murmured to himself,

In an instant, as if possessed, he stared fixedly at Achilles's swift and powerful figure, dancing on the battlefield.

There was only one chance,

If he failed, it would alert Achilles.

With divine armor and shield protecting him, once he guarded his weakness,

They would hardly have another chance to hit his heel.

At this moment, he regretted not telling Hector about Achilles's weakness earlier.

Of course—

This was also partially because he had no way to explain why he knew Achilles' weakness.

Though Night knew archery, his skill with arrows was nowhere near the level needed to shoot and kill a demigod like Paris did across the battlefield.

However, Night had another skill very similar to archery—throwing techniques.

At this moment, Night's mind was filled with the image of Hector confidently and coldly smiling as he delivered that earth-shattering final throw just a short while ago!

Having witnessed that strike, he seemed to gain a new understanding of throwing techniques.

But it wasn't enough!!!

Just this level of understanding was definitely not enough!

So, he decided to cheat.

Night: Black Tower!!!

In his ears were the sounds of spear and shield clashing and colliding.

When Night called out to 'Black Tower' in his heart, the sounds suddenly ceased for a moment.

In the next instant, his consciousness was pulled into a special space.

A dreamlike world, as if standing in a quantum sea, appeared before his eyes.

This was the transfer station of the simulated universe, a place for Night to pause his strategy, rest, and strengthen himself.

The Black Tower had already been waiting there for some time.

As soon as his consciousness entered this space, Night's injuries seemed to vanish, and he felt completely healed.

Black Tower: "You finally decided to come in.

So—

It seems you have obtained the destiny you desired."

Night: "…Load Achilles' destiny template for me!"

Without wasting any words, he spoke directly.

His expression was calm, but his eyes were deep and cold, filled with determination and a commanding tone that brooked no argument.

Black Tower's lips curled slightly, as if enjoying Night's demeanor: "Understood, my…master…

Then, as you wish!"

As it uttered the last word,

In the next moment,

Night's consciousness plunged into darkness.

He heard the sound of dripping water, then felt a warm sensation as if his mind and body were being elevated and purified.

Then, familiar concepts began to flood his mind.

Concept—invulnerable body.

Concept—divine equipment—spear, armor, shield trio.

Concept—a chariot drawn by a Pegasus, speeding like a shooting star.

Finally, the refined martial skills of Achilles were ingrained in Night's memory.

Although it didn't instantly grant him mastery over all of Achilles' combat techniques,

It felt like a teacher had meticulously explained all the principles, waiting for him to spend time gradually absorbing them.

By continually mimicking the memories etched in his mind,

One day, he too would be able to recreate the powerful hero's figure, charging like a shooting star in battle.

At this moment, the infusion of martial memory provided Night with immense assistance.

It boosted his confidence in the upcoming battle significantly.

The luxurious Achilles package had thoroughly shaken him.

The enhancements brought by the destiny template were incredibly powerful.

He could even use this to counter Achilles' combat flaws.

Without hesitation and without time to reminisce with Black Tower, Night quickly returned to the simulated universe.

As his consciousness dimmed and then regained clarity,

He found himself back on the street ablaze with flames,

The sound of weapons clashing continued to ring in his ears.

Feeling his body weaken again—

Night: …!

Even with the concept of invulnerability, his previous injuries weren't healed?

He had an invulnerable body, yet it lacked the corresponding powerful healing ability,

This was quite disappointing.

Fortunately, not only did he not have it, but Achilles also didn't.

Thinking this way, he felt somewhat balanced.

If this demigod had excellent regenerative abilities, he wouldn't have died so easily from an arrow to the heel.

Now, though his body recovered slowly, relying on his combat endurance,

Night dragged his battered body towards the previous ruins.

Every second counted—!!!

Time ticked away as he traced the path of the earlier ruinous dragon to its end.

On the other side,

Hector was currently struggling in a fierce battle.

'I was careless—!!'

His heart was heavy and repressed.

The previously confident and seemingly unstoppable strike, had not dealt with this demigod.

Though he had destroyed Achilles' chariot, which was a considerable achievement, he had also lost his weapon, which was a significant loss.

Since learning that Achilles possessed an invulnerable body,

Hector had been contemplating how to deal with this demigod.

He had finally thought of a way!

It was to rely on the penetrating, indestructible nature of the divine spear Hector, to try and break through Achilles' invulnerable body.

He believed that compared to a prolonged struggle, which had a higher chance of failure, it was better to unleash a killing move right from the start,

Striking with an unexpected and unyielding resolve, Hector had thrown the most powerful spear ever.

But—it failed!

No, did it really fail?

While struggling to fend off attacks, Hector seemed to notice something, his mind becoming colder and more focused than ever before as a slight smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

Even as he faced the relentless assault of Achilles, he showed no fear.

It was as if the one about to lose their life, who was deep in crisis, was not him but the opponent!
