Chapter 399 Um… You're Right.
"Don't worry, we still have another ally."
Hearing Sherwin's words, Petran didn't know what to say: "You… I don't mean that, I just want to go back, you..."
"Okay, I see what you mean. Don't worry, we will overcome this challenge and gain new strength."
Petran: "…"
'Does this bastard have a problem understanding people?'
He could only sigh, as he did not dare to say what was in his mind, anyway Sherwin was much stronger than him, if he made Sherwin angry, he was afraid...
Petran then sat silently in this strange space for a long time because Sherwin suddenly disappeared.
A second later, Sherwin reappeared, however, standing beside him was another young man with short brown hair.
"Yahoo! Are you new? My name is Rhon, nice to meet you."
Rhon approached, and reached out his hand toward Petran.
Seeing this, Petran unconsciously reached out and took Rhon's hand.
'Another weirdo?' Petran thought in his heart.
"You are…"
"Um… I am a player just like you. However I still own my own territory, I am not a wild Player like you."
"I also heard Sherwin talk about you, haizzz, you are so weak."
Petran: "…"
Petran felt that he was being horribly despised.
"Sherwin, did you hear…hm…"
"Rhon… I am Rhon."
"Ah! Yes, did you hear what Rhon said, I'm weak, you don't need me here. Please, let me go home."
"Hahaha…" Rhon suddenly laughed. "Sherwin, your friend is interesting. I like this guy."
Petran: "…"
'Do I need you to like me? I'm not gay! Take me back! Take me back!'
Sherwin shook his head and said, "No, you are the key factor in raiding the gates of hell, I won't let you go."
"Because you're Hikaru's slave, I can't make you my slave."
"That's why… if you don't do anything I say, I'll kill you immediately."
Petran took a deep breath: "Gate… gate of hell? You're crazy, just hearing that name makes me feel like it's a very dangerous place. I don't want to go."
"You don't want to come with me either."
"Hahaha… don't worry, we'll make it. Let's go towards a bright future." Rhon said while smiling.
Petran felt that Rhon did not seem to realize the approaching danger. He just felt that Rhon was similar to a child who is excited to go to disneyland.
"Do you know where we're going?" Petran felt a great headache, he looked towards Rhon and asked.
"I don't!"
"You don't? Then why are you so happy?"
"Hahaha… even though I don't know what the destination will be like, it's even more interesting. I wonder if there are monsters or people there that can kill me."
"You…" Petran felt that Rhon was a madman, he did not want to be in the company of such a madman.
Wait! Rhon wasn't the only madman, there was another madman here.
Petran glanced at Sherwin. However, Sherwin shook his head and said, "Rhon has an infinite resurrection ability. Even if you cut him into 100 pieces, he will still come back to life."
"Every time he respawns, his stats will increase a little."
Petran was startled hearing that: "That means..."
"That's right." Sherwin nodded: "He can grow indefinitely without leveling up. It's just… he has a weakness…"
"Um…" Rhon said with a smile as he said happily: "I have a weakness that if my territory is taken over by someone else, I cannot be revived."
"That means that if I lose my territory, my respawn ability also disappears."
After listening to this, Petran felt a little headache: "Wait! Your ability is so real and terrifying, but why are you telling others about your weakness?"
"Hahaha… that would be more stimulating, right?"
Petran: "…"
'One madman goes with another madman. I want to go home… the world is crazy.'
'Hikaru… save me…'
'Void Lord… save me…'
"Alright!" Sherwin said, "Let's go, the gates of hell are open."
"Wait! You haven't said what we're going in there for. Why should I follow you?"
Sherwin heard Petran speak and sighed. Suddenly, a catfish with a skeleton covering its entire body appeared.
A voice echoing through the air said: "Let me explain to you what to do and the purpose of this trip."
"The place you are going to is called the 'gate to hell'. It's not a real hell, but a prison where dangerous people are kept."
"They are so dangerous that the ancient Pope of Misty World had to join forces with 20 other priests to create this prison to keep them in."
When Petran heard that, he shivered, and felt a little chill down his spine.
Although he didn't know how strong the people imprisoned inside the 'hell' were, hearing the phrase 'Ancient Pope' he knew that this thing was 99% fatal.
"Your mission is simple, go to the last floor of this prison, and free a man named 'Darik'. Understand?"
"Understood!" Rhon laughed, and Sherwin just nodded.
Startled, Petran shouted: "Wait! Are you crazy? Why save that person? A prisoner held on the last floor of the prison, do you know how dangerous he is."
"Why should we save him? Does saving him give us any benefit?"
Petran felt that he was the only sane person here. He had just heard enough to know how strong and dangerous Darik was.
A person who was imprisoned by the 'Ancient Pope' and 20 priests in the last floor of the 'hell's gate'.
Even though he was not a fan of Fantasy movies, he just heard enough to know that the guy named Darik was extremely dangerous.
Why did Sherwin and Rhon have such calm expressions?
"Don't worry, just do as I say." Sherwin said calmly.
"Do as you say… I don't know, please, let me go, I don't want to go there."
Sherwin looked towards the catfish and said, "He is still bound by the slave contract with Hikaru, that's why he is worried that if he follows us he will be discovered by Hikaru."
"Oh! That's how it is." After saying that, the catfish spewed out a beam of light, which surrounded Petran.
Just then, Petran heard the sound of glass breaking in his head.
[Ding! You have broken the slave contract with Hikaru, now you have become a free player.]
"Done!"
Hearing that, Sherwin nodded: "Um! Very well, now you can follow me without worrying about the slave contract with Hikaru."
Petran: "…"
He really wanted to cry, he didn't mean the slave contract.
Petran felt it was safer to be Hikaru's slave than to go on an adventure with two madmen and a catfish.
"Let's go!"
"I don't want to go!!!"
"Don't worry, after completing this journey, you will have enough strength to participate in the event the System just announced." Sherwin shook his head and said.
"Hahaha…" Rhon said with a laugh, "I hope to meet super dangerous people this time, at least I hope they can kill me, hahaha…"
Petran: "…"
'You guys are crazy, I don't want to go… huhuhu…'
…
Elsewhere, Raito looked at the bulletin board and frowned. He opened his mouth, took a woman's hand to his mouth, then chewed and swallowed.
"Raito, stop eating, we need to prepare for the upcoming event." Lako shook her head.
"Huh! Are you worried about Hikaru?"
Lako nodded: "Haizz, that's right. If you do not participate, your level will be reduced, if you join but fail, you will lose ½ of all the available resources. Raito, aren't you worried?"
"Cowards! Do you think we will lose so easily? You must know that you and I have both reached level 60, so to speak, we are the highest ranked among the players in this world."
"But…"
"I don't want to hear you say such nonsense." Raito frowned, his eyes filled with sharpness that made Lako feel a little scared.
In fact, during his stay, he only saw Raito eating people and raping women.
At first, he felt that Raito, despite his intimidating appearance, was a smart guy.
However, after being given resources to grow by the self-proclaimed "Wind Lord", Raito seemed to have become a completely different person.
Raito only enjoyed cannibalism and lust, he was no longer interested in planning to defeat the Void Lord.
"Raito, don't you have a plan to defeat the Void Lord?"
"Huh! Of course we have a plan. It's just that we're not strong enough right now, we need to grow stronger."
"You..." Lako didn't know how to refute, he just felt a little disappointed.
"Enough!" Suddenly, a voice rang out, Duraxi sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, frowning: "Lako, don't you realize how easily we lost to the Void Lord? We need to become stronger."
"At the very least, we need to be strong enough to beat most players in the world. Only then can we think of defeating the Void Lord."
"But… These past few days, we haven't done anything. Do you think we can become stronger just by sitting still like this?" Lako shouted angrily.
Duraxi shook his head: "It's because you don't know how to become stronger."
After saying that, he stood up, then went out.
"Where are you going?" Lako shouted.
"Of course, I'm going to look for other players to kill, I also need to level up."
After saying that he disappeared, Lako could only sigh when he saw this.
"Lako, I don't understand what you're worried about. The system has started working again, we just need to get the rewards from it to become stronger."
"Besides, we have the Wind Lord providing resources, what are you in a hurry for?"
"Duraxi is right, we can't even defeat the Void Lord's army, how can we defeat him?"
"We have plenty of time, Lako. Our lifespan has reached 1,000 years. It will only take 50 years, no, 100 years before we can defeat the Void Lord."
"For now, just enjoy life here. You're too tense."
Lako listened to Raito and felt that what he said was extremely reasonable.
He nodded slightly and said, "Um… you're right."
