Chapter 1337 1337: 1337: Divine Game: Graveyard of Bones 59

"Why aren't you using that mind control skill from last time? Didn't it work?"

Rita rushed at QM Rita with both swords in hand, smiling brightly.

"I like this one better."

If a normal attack could earn over a dozen gold coins, then what about SSS-level skills? Divine combat techniques? Even soul fire abilities?

Could she get more than just coins? Equipment, maybe?

She also had a wealth-related skill, What Is Adjudicator, which clearly stated "burn all wealth except six marked magic items." Equipment was obviously included under wealth.

QM Rita had clearly thought of that too. Her expression turned serious.

Rita couldn't even imagine how absurdly rich Undead Wildfire must be. Starsea's richest person? Probably.

And after merging that strand of Wildfire power in phase two, every single Flower Crown Murder petal could trigger both effects.

Which meant…

Anyone who damaged even one petal would trigger Gem Brilliance and have to "pay on contact."

Anyone who looked at the petals would start accumulating time for Cunning Camellia's effect.

And right now, there were countless petals across the battlefield.

Unless a skill completely erased them like Flower of Deceit, even if destroyed temporarily, Rita could regrow them quickly thanks to what she learned from Deceitful Bloom.

Still, to avoid getting hit by her own mechanics later, she kept about 10 percent of the original petals stored inside Wrathful Moon as backup.

That already reduced the number slightly.

And Deceitful Bloom? She only picked the best ones.

She could easily tell which petals were Rita's originals and which were freshly created with magic. She only took the originals.

Rita didn't mind at first. Take a few, fine.

Then she started packing them up in bulk.

That was when Rita snapped.

Even though attacking her now meant paying, both QM Rita and Extra Chapter Rita didn't stop. If anything, they attacked harder, faces growing more twisted.

But the most twisted expressions belonged to everyone else on the battlefield.

There were too many petals. Any accidental hit triggered payment notifications.

The battlefield turned into chaos.

Everyone tried to avoid the petals while fighting.

The constant clinking of coins and shouting filled the air.

"BS Rita!!!"

"So this is how Quiet Mountain felt during the mind control?"

"Can your skill at least distinguish friend from foe?!"

"QM Rita couldn't eat for half a month last time, how long is it this time?"

"I feel like I'm being set up by QM Rita and Starsea Rita together…"

"I'm Lightchaser."

Rita: ???

What kind of complaint was that? Being Lightchaser meant you didn't have to pay?

Meanwhile, QM Rita and Extra Chapter Rita increased their attack frequency, escalating from low-tier skills to higher ones, testing the limits of this "pay on contact."

When QM Rita landed an SSS-level skill on Rita, a level 100 piece of equipment dropped from the sky.

QM Rita's brows relaxed slightly.

Painful, but not enough to stop.

Wealth was temporary.

But BS Rita had to die today.

More importantly, she had plenty of equipment to burn.

At this point, petals filled the battlefield. Rita glanced at her soul fire, which she had barely used.

110 out of 140.

Her max had been doubled by Tingo JE. She had only used Load twice, even stole some soul fire from QM Cicada earlier, gained 15 from fallen allies, and another 50 from JE's recovery.

Even with 10 points locked for saving, she was basically full.

Too bad Moonlit Flame's extra 20 didn't double as well.

Completely banning soul fire usage on the field was impossible. QM Rita had only sealed hers for less than three seconds and spent ten points doing it.

White and blue petals swirled together.

Between them, golden lightning suddenly connected across the battlefield.

BS Rita and Extra Chapter Rita both activated Caged Bird at the same time.

The moment thunder roared, Rita activated the ultimate version of School Rule No. 805.

For the next two minutes, all incoming attacks would turn into healing.

The duration didn't increase, but she needed it to work even against players breaking free from divine limits.

At the same time, she made a change.

Softly, she said,

"Extra Chapter Rita's Vine is also considered expendable wealth. When paying for wealth-related effects, prioritize using Vine."

She wanted to do it silently, but like QM Rita's settings, it had to be announced to take effect.

The moment it took effect, her soul fire began draining rapidly at one point every three seconds.

Extra Chapter Rita's existence already relied on another soul fire ability. Even a small adjustment cost a lot.

But Rita didn't stop.

Extra Chapter Rita and QM Rita both froze for a split second.

Then, unexpectedly, Extra Chapter Rita smiled.

Not only did she not stop, she sent even more petals toward Rita.

She added her own setting.

"When encountering wealth-related effects, after Vine is exhausted, prioritize paying with companion lightning."

Her soul fire ignited again. She burned all of it and added another crucial rule.

"Unless I am killed, Extra Chapter cannot be recalled."

Across the sea of petals, Rita met her own gaze.

Then she suddenly laughed, as if hearing the funniest joke.

"You've lost your mind!!!"

QM Rita immediately retreated from the lightning and flowers, then swung her blade at Extra Chapter Rita.

Compared to BS Rita, she hated betrayal more.

Lightning wrapped around BS Rita, thunder exploding.

White petals rushed toward her like birds returning home, merging into her body.

BS Rita didn't move.

But Extra Chapter Rita unleashed another high-frequency Vine and lightning combo.

She was handing everything over.

The Extra Chapter she summoned… had betrayed her.

QM Rita was furious.

Extra Chapter Rita blocked her blade and smiled.

"Do you understand yourself now?"

Her flower sword dissolved into a stream of petals flowing toward BS Rita.

But her golden lightning sword remained.

She swung it at QM Rita with blazing fury.

Her face still smiling, but her eyes burned with cold hatred.

"Will you still dare summon me, rewrite me, control me next time?"

"QM Rita, remember this moment."

"I have nothing holding me back anymore."

"I don't need to hide or compromise."

"I cannot tolerate being shaped by anyone's rules or abilities."

"I am uncontrollable."
