Episode 205
: Yes, it started from then.
‘When entering the Spirit Forest.’
Before that, X had consistently exchanged opinions with Sioras through parchment.
One day, Sioras sent word in crooked handwriting that he had injured his arm after a battle with a high-ranking worshiper.
X continued his thoughts with an expressionless face.
‘Responses have been cut off since the Giant’s Mountains.’
All of the newly acquired information from the Giant’s Mountains was delivered to Sioras.
But there was no reply.
What if they were imitating Sioras’ handwriting? There was no reason not to send a reply.
A conclusion has been reached.
X muttered softly.
“In fact, they obtained the parchment after the teacher was injured.”
An enemy who stole the teacher’s belongings.
It was a situation where I had no choice but to worry about my teacher’s safety. But X had a firm belief.
Master Siolas’s abilities! I was sure that Sioras would be safe.
Grrrgh.
The tentacles of the red mask began to move again.
-Your teacher’s screams are still clear in my ears.
“Hmph, you’re talking bullshit.”
X easily ignored the provocation. We immediately prepared for a full-scale battle.
Of course, the bear stance announces the start of battle! Goooooh. X’s body twitched with uncontrollable force.
In turn, X taunted the red mask.
“I know your intention. You are probably planning to break through the weakened shield and head to the Arba continent. But what to do with this? “From now on, I plan to properly hold onto your ankles.”
Pressure that cannot be offset even with ambition! I had no intention of winning a fight against that monster.
It seemed best to buy time for Launis and other people on the disconnected continent to notice this guy.
However, the red mask gave a completely unexpected answer.
-You are making a huge mistake, mortal.
“Illusion?”
-Why do you think our target is the Arba Continent?
Isn’t that obvious?
The disconnected continent is full of strong people.
There are many creatures that cannot be found on the Arba continent, including dragons.
Above all, there were many people who knew the fear of other beings. Perhaps reading those thoughts, the Red Mask let out an unpleasant laugh.
-The Arba continent is overflowing with uncertain possibilities. It led to an outcome that could not be predicted even by prophecy. Our longing is for the complete resurrection of the Father, so there is no need to walk an uncertain path.
In short, the Red Mask was saying that it would be easier to conquer the Dando Continent than the Arba Continent.
Honestly, I didn’t understand.
‘Is there some reason I don’t know about?’
The Arba Continent is a disconnected continent, so you can see it as much as you know!
It was a choice I couldn’t figure out even if I thought about it.
But the idea of taking time did not change. Even at this moment, the maintenance time of the bear stance was decreasing.
“Let’s begin.”
Kuddeuk!
A thick stem rose from the thickly dark soil. X spread its dancing stems towards the red mask. It looked like strong legs.
Pabababak! Rushing at full speed.
-Mortal, I wanted you to scream more. But the response is more trivial than expected. Well, I have no intention of complaining since all the moves have already been completed.
Sigh!
Dozens of tentacles reached out from all directions, targeting X. Avoid all attacks while moving forward….
Excessive greed leads to anger.
‘Give the flesh and take the bones.’
Now was the time to utilize the foods I had been eating, that is, my incredible stats.
X believed in the vitality of reaching 3 million. Shakshak Avoiding fatal injuries, I hit the least painful area as much as possible.
Tentacles grazing my thighs.
Tiroling! A notification sounds.
[Fatal blow!]
“…I guess everyone should realize this sooner?!”
It’s outrageous!
It was only a grazing, but it was a fatal blow.
I felt aggrieved and wanted to at least check my level.
But perhaps because of the red mask, that mass of tentacles doesn’t seem to be treated as a monster. No information came to mind.
X, who was staggering, gritted his teeth.
‘This is the only way to change the strategy.’
X jumped off the trunk.
Now that the stepping stone effect had been lifted, it was impossible to avoid the tentacles on the stem in the air.
Even considering the battle with the creatures, it was right to advance to the ground from here.
Grrrr.
The moment I landed, I was greeted by an unpleasant presence. These are the polluted creatures that were defeated in the battle to defend Degur.
X is equipped with Carnage Stalker in place of his damaged Darksteel Shield. Dual-wielding stance that maximizes attack power!
“If you keep blocking it, you won’t be able to avoid it!”
bang!
As soon as he could speak, the tentacles of the red mask swung like a whip.
The intention was to block the movement with the creature and then hit the attack, but X escaped the crisis with quick judgment.
“Axis sword method.”
Parbat!
The power of dual wielding while the bear stance effect was maintained was beyond imagination.
Shock! Every time I swung, the creatures were bursting like balloons.
Nevertheless, X’s expression was not good.
‘I never thought I would struggle so much with basic attacks.’
As I said, the human sacrifice was taking place in real time. As proof that the Red Mask was not yet perfect, it simply swung its tentacles.
I had to make a rational decision.
‘I don’t think I can survive the next pattern at this rate?’
To put it bluntly, it was terrifying to even think that tentacles could use simple magic beyond physical attacks.
However, I couldn’t rush at the red mask with all my might. Even if it caused damage, it was clear that it would quickly recover through human sacrifice.
The longer you wait, the closer the crisis becomes.
I can’t help but laugh out loud.
“What really happened to these guys?”
Other beings, they were on a different level. As I had felt in the past, they didn’t seem like they were designed to be defeated.
Literally a dilemma.
X glared at the red mask with cold eyes.
“I guess I’ll have to make some sacrifices.”
good night.
I will impose a first death penalty. I’m going to inflict a death penalty and take time to accumulate a lot of damage to this guy!
X shouted.
“Liberation of the Eight Gates!”
Shuoooo.
Qi spreads out through the Danjeon and throughout the body.
Without wasting time, he kicked the ground. He used the Chukji technique at maximum speed and dealt with the creatures in his way with the minimum amount of movement.
Speed like a flash of light cutting through the darkness!
The distance from the red mask has shortened to a very short distance. The red mask laughs as if it is ridiculous.
-But all power comes with a price.
This guy saw through the Liberation of the Eight Gates at once. He is truly a masked worshiper. This guy must have lived just as long as the white mask.
My tact was unusual.
Tak X kicked the tree and jumped into the air.
Enhanced energy and heavenly cooking effects. The distance between X and the red mask narrowed as if they were flying through the sky.
“Berserker’s pulse.”
And equipped with the Titan’s Arrow.
The maximum destructive power that X can currently produce has begun to converge at the tip of the Titan’s arrow.
It seemed that even the red mask could not fathom that energy. A feeling of shock seemed to emerge behind the faceless mask.
-…How can a mortal subject have this kind of power?
Grrrgh.
In an instant, the tentacles take a defensive stance. Dozens and hundreds of tentacles began to overlap and surround the red mask.
It’s a guess, but it appears that movement was probably impossible during human sacrifice.
Sighing, the corners of X’s mouth rose.
“Okay, if you can stop it, try to stop it!”
Bang bang bang!
The Titan’s arrow pierced the air several times with a roar.
Cheesy!
Perhaps it was because it was a weapon given by Titan, who resides in the heavens and is praised as a god, but its momentum did not break even when it came in contact with the tentacles.
-I can’t believe it.
“Hehe, that’s what I’m going to say.”
It wasn’t enough.
The Titan’s arrow was fired so fiercely that about half of the tentacles evaporated and fell to the ground.
Summon the dancing stems and quickly retrieve them. X, holding the Titan’s arrow in his hand again, swallowed a sigh.
‘I expected it, but it definitely fell short.’
A masked supreme worshiper.
In addition, his abilities were enhanced by large-scale human sacrifice. It was impossible to cause significant damage to a guy like that.
Thanks to the strength of my entire body, the side effects of the liberation of the Eight Gates came a little faster.
“I guess I’ll just have to hold on and see if there’s anything I can do.”
If you can’t live, die!
Not only will your level drop, but you will also be banned from accessing for a short period of time. Thinking about the death penalty just makes my heart ache.
X decided to stay positive.
‘If you die this time, you’ll be resurrected as a zombie, right?’
What effect do zombies have? I tried to appease the rising resentment by trying to test its limits. The red mask asked X that question.
-What are you? Your strength exceeded my predictions.
I will answer you well.
Heungex snorted instead of answering.
The red mask became interested in X.
-He may still be hiding, but he is not using it to escape. Are you still planning to take your time? The physical capabilities have surpassed their limits, but knowledge still remains at the level of mortals.
The winner’s deception!
If you’re going to kill him, kill him quickly. He’s slowly losing his temper.
My vitality is fading away, and my breathing gradually becomes more difficult. At that moment, the tentacle stretched out towards X.
Am I finally going to die? X, who was preparing for the second game, soon expressed surprise.
-It’s a pity, human beings, but the foolish people of this land will not move. Because the emotional trough that I spent a long time digging into buried their ankles.
‘You said that exchanges were active in the past.’
Burkandal had said:
There was a time in the past when exchanges between races were active even on the disconnected continent.
However, it was said that the relationship suddenly ended for some reason. And I said that responsibility lies with everyone.
But if what the Red Mask says is true.
“…So that was also planned for today?”
-Quick to understand. The more I look at it, the more I regret it.
I began to understand that the Uncut Continent was easier prey to hunt than the Arba Continent.
There are users on the Arba continent. Thanks to the countless users traveling all over the place, exchange between regions was inevitable.
But it is not a disconnected continent.
As you can see, even though the Black Fairy’s pond was devastated, no one other than himself noticed. Even if they noticed it, they lost interest and turned away.
My appetite is bitter.
“You made a sacrifice for no reason, right?”
Are you hoping for support that will never come? Suddenly a feeling of resentment wells up.
But who will even notice that you feel unfair? Now was the time to turn this resentment into driving force.
X used all his strength to shake off the tentacle. I stumbled and ran away.
‘At least until those three come to their senses.’
What the Red Mask is aiming for is the individual sects of the disconnected continent.
The fallen trio were the only survivors in the safe area who knew of this division.
We had to wait until they woke up and delivered the news.
-Are you ready to live now? My interest is waning.
The Red Mask seemed ready to finally put an end to this pastime.
Grrrgh.
A tentacle draped over X’s head. I didn’t have the strength to dodge, but if I was lucky and dodged, I could buy a few more seconds.
I gritted my teeth and guided my broken leg.
‘Damn, I think zombies are slow for some reason.’
The moment when I foresaw the onset of persistent denial of death.
A woman’s voice was heard.
It was a familiar voice.
-Your prayers have reached me
Tiroling! A notification rang.
[Your sacrifice has moved the goddess!]
[Sacredia’s blessing is activated!]
[Sacredia, the goddess of sacrifice, has descended!]
“…!!”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
