Chapter 204
Episode 204
It seems that the three members of the death squad did not notice the sign.
But X was sure.
‘Are we getting closer? Or…’
The place where a strange energy was felt was in the direction of the border where Burkandal’s guard post was located.
Even now, the energy was growing uncontrollably. X muttered.
“Are you getting stronger in real time?”
There are two possibilities.
Both situations were not good, but if I were to ask, the former was better.
Even X, who had clashed quite a bit with the forces of other beings, had never felt this level of alien energy.
Soon the eyes of the three people narrowed.
Burkandal picked up a two-handed axe.
“This feels very ominous.”
X stood up and responded.
“Other beings and their forces have begun to move.”
“Is that really true?”
“I can’t stay still. “This is the sea I also wanted.”
The darkness of Fate World!
The three members of the warlike death squad hurriedly gathered their equipment and stood up.
It appears that the bravery he fought against the dragon was not a lie.
X, who was kicking his feet on the ground, made a cool decision.
‘Do we have any chance of winning?’
The only power that could be expected right away was himself and the three dwarves.
It was an overly optimistic prediction that support would come from other regions that sensed the presence of another being.
Moreover, X’s power had dropped to less than half. Because Yongyong was concentrating on training.
Of course, I could have summoned Yongyong to my side right away.
Pisik X burst out laughing.
“It seems like I’ve made up my mind for the first time in a while, but if you disturb me, I’ll use it.”
Okay, let’s do it!
A decision made after calm judgment.
Great Sage Sioras had said that if you encounter a worshiper, you must run away.
But isn’t that also a thing of the distant past? X was now getting a rough idea of his own strength.
‘It’s worth a try if you use the numbers you have properly.’
My heart starts to beat with excitement!
It was a battle that required all my strength, so I wondered how long it would be.
That seemed to be the same for the three members of the death squad.
As the distance got closer, they too could feel the alien energy.
Vandam snorted.
“You’ve been hiding this foul smell so well.”
“But it ends today.”
“World peace is in our hands, friends!”
Brave spirit!
But that was only for a moment.
Burkandal stuttered at the sight that unfolded.
“This is ridiculous!”
Grrrgh.
As I approached the iron gate of the border, the shape of the enemy radiating a strange energy caught my eye.
It was floating in the sky of the Black Fairy’s pond.
The energy of another being, like black tentacles, was covering the entire Black Fairy Pond!
X bit his lower lip.
“This is beyond your imagination.”
The level is different.
It couldn’t be compared to anything I’d seen before.
An overwhelming sense of heterogeneity.
I couldn’t even guess how many lives were sacrificed.
In his agitation, X recalled Sioras’ words.
-Those who reached the level of demon kings through large-scale human sacrifice have never experienced defeat in battle.
“Just looking at the cancer, it doesn’t seem like it’s at the level of a demon lord?”
A being beyond the devil!
Yes, it felt like I was looking at another being itself.
Then, the actions of the worshiper who had been unusually passive in the disconnected continent began to make sense.
They had waited eons for this very day.
The next number was also predictable.
‘It won’t end in a disconnected continent.’
A loophole in the shield confirmed through Levitaskar!
If something like that were to break through the shield and head to the Arba continent, I couldn’t think of a way to stop it right away.
It had to be stopped here.
X took out the Titan’s arrow.
I asked the three people who were pale.
“Are you going together?”
“…Of course, this is not the time to just watch.”
“Thanks to you, I’m coming back to my senses.”
Their dazed eyes began to shine, as if they were possessed by something.
Suddenly, X entered the Black Fairy’s pond with the trio.
Instantaneous banding! A notification sounds.
“!”
X paused.
[You have discovered the ‘Imp Forest’ for the first time in Fate World!]
[Experience gain near the Imp Forest increases by 20% for 72 hours!]
[Item acquisition rate near the Imp Forest increases by 20% for 72 hours ! Do it!]
First discovered buff.
After setting foot on the disconnected continent, it was a natural reminder that came to mind wherever I went.
Tiroling!
However, what made my body stiffen was the subsequent notification. Something I’ve never seen before.
[An extreme sense of helplessness weighs on my body!]
[An extreme sense of defeat weighs on my body!]
[An extreme sense of frustration weighs on my body!]
‘Is this a condition?’
No, I don’t know if it’s scary, but I’ve never seen or heard anything about this condition.
Contrary to the notification, X did not feel any significant changes. However, a helpless sound was heard from the trio.
Burkandal, who was like a wild beast, fell to his knees.
He had dropped his two-handed axe, a symbol of bravery, and his hands were shaking.
A crying voice continues.
“Ah, does this mean that everything is over?”
Van Damme and Pahuren had nothing to say. Tears were flowing from the empty corners of my eyes.
Only then did X realize it.
“The human sacrifice wasn’t over?”
Think about it later.
X took the three people who had almost fainted and headed back to the land of the dwarves.
Because the energy of other beings has not yet been felt in the land of the dwarves.
X looked at the dwarves who were lying on the floor and breathing heavily.
‘If we had delayed time, everyone would have been branded with destruction.’
The reason why X was able to maintain his sanity was because of his title, Seeker of the Ancient Kingdom.
Because it had the effect of nullifying the stigma of destruction.
The situation was becoming more and more serious.
“I thought it was worth a try.”
Indeed, even other existences on the disconnected continent were beyond imagination.
Even at this moment, the energy of the other being was gradually becoming stronger. This means that human sacrifice is being carried out in real time.
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.
“I’m destroying a place I haven’t even been to yet?”
That’s a no-brainer!
At this moment, I was the only one who could be free from the Black Fairy’s pond.
X re-entered the Imp Forest alone.
There was one purpose.
‘This large-scale human sacrifice must be stopped.’
Undiscovered field quest monster loot and even for Fate World!
The simplest method was to purify the contaminated runestone.
But at the same time, it is impossible.
‘There are no priests and not enough relics.’
Then, the only way left is to end that strange monster before it gets stronger!
To be honest, I wasn’t very confident.
X opened the inventory.
“Who knew it would be that big?”
Tiroling!
Heavenly cooking effects that begin to activate when stacked!
Still, I could do it, but I was planning on fighting until the end.
If we can at least take some time, isn’t it possible that Launis will sense this and come to help?
“If I can’t decide, I’ll just run away.”
Also, he was an X who was confident in his actions.
Ready.
X, who had been kicking the ground, began to jump into the air.
Heavenly Cooking sub-skill Activate Stepping Stones!
Stepping Stones: You can now fly by stepping on the air in the forest jungle field. The effect lasts until you are attacked.
There were no restrictions on activation at the current location thanks to the Imp Forest.
As I jumped into the air, its shape came into view more clearly.
A foreign energy writhing in all directions, like a mass of tentacles from outer space.
But unlike before, I could see something in that tentacle-like energy.
“!”
I stepped on the air and went a little further.
Then I was able to find out the identity of something nestled inside the tentacle.
That gorgeous silk robe was a pattern I could never forget.
“…White mask?”
The silk clothes were identical to those on the white mask.
But the mask on his face was different. It was bright red.
Is that the same guy as White Mask or a different guy?
There was no time to think.
The important thing right now is to take him down. To delay human sacrifice as much as possible.
X immediately opened his palms.
“Sea God’s Judgment!”
Kuoooo!
A tidal wave rushed towards the giant tentacle mass.
Notifications that come to mind every time a tsunami advances. It was a notification that those who judged X as their enemy had been fatally wounded.
He raised the traveler’s sword and shield.
‘The earth is already covered with creatures from other beings.’
Not only are the creatures of other beings numerous, but each one has boss-level abilities.
It wasn’t a normal situation and I didn’t have time to deal with them.
X just kicked the air and ran out.
The scenery changes quickly. Thanks to the increased proficiency in the Chukji technique, it could be used without difficulty even in the air.
Grrrgh.
Perhaps noticing the charging enemy, a tentacle extended from the mass and approached X.
Cheeeeeek! Anything the tentacles came in contact with was rapidly decaying.
“Pollen firecrackers!”
X used his mana to summon a huge amount of pollen.
It is an all-rounder in offense and defense, but its effectiveness is not outstanding.
It is absurd to completely protect the tentacles. All I had to do was endure it for a moment.
‘Just pass the attack judgment and get out of the range.’
The effect of Hopping Stepping Stones lasts until you are attacked.
We will hold on to the moment through pollen and move forward faster!
Soon the tentacle swung towards X.
“!”
The result is half success.
Cheesy! The pollen did not stop the tentacles. Evaporates immediately on contact.
The durability of the dark iron shield that X reflexively raised was plummeting.
Seeing the bloody equipment melting brings tears of blood to my eyes!
“I will definitely give this kid a good beating.”
Strengthen your will and move forward!
Pollen mitigated the damage and the Kalsumar shield technique succeeded in perfect defense.
X still advanced through the air. Fortunately, the tentacles were huge, so their movement was slow.
“The problem is that there are more than one problem!”
Grrrgh.
As the distance got closer, dozens of tentacles appeared overhead.
This can never be stopped.
Because X was struggling with just one tentacle, he made a quick decision.
‘The distance is close enough.’
In other words, you can increase your chances of winning!
When using Liberation of the Eight Gates, the effects of skills that utilize energy for a short period of time are amplified.
Avoid dozens of tentacles using the amplified Chukji technique and advance right in front of the red mask hidden within the tentacles.
‘Pour all attacks towards the main body.’
It was a decision that X made in a split second.
That’s it.
I calmly aimed for the timing.
If you take risks, your opportunities become greater.
But something completely unexpected happened.
The tentacles that were extending at breakneck speed stopped for an instant.
Grrrgh.
A gloomy voice was heard from inside the huge tentacle.
-I was waiting for you, mortal.
“…You were waiting for me?”
The red mask looked this way and spoke.
At that moment, a thousand thoughts came to mind.
Do you really know of my existence? If so, to what extent do you know?
Did you even know from the beginning that I had entered a disconnected continent?
How?
The answer to that question was given by the red mask.
It felt as if the corners of the mouth of the red mask with nothing drawn on it were turning up in a mean way.
-And your teacher was probably waiting for you as much as I was.
“!”
Crooked.
I remembered the handwriting of my teacher, Siolas, which was different from usual.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
