Chapter 126
Episode 126
[Notice: Guidance to the target point begins.]
[Notice: About 1 kilometer, 994 meters, 989 meters to the target point…]
[Notice: The unknown energy is getting thicker and thicker!]
[Notice: Tessa The light of the ring gets stronger and stronger!]
Sweep!
Damian jumped as he felt the dry voice of the system flowing in.
It was in the distant sea of clouds where you could not see an inch ahead.
Like a boatman rowing in the middle of a lake of fog, a silver wolf clearly splits the strangely quiet forest.
And while Demian moved toward the coordinates marked on the mini-map, he let out a laugh at the soft light of the Tessar ring shining from the back of his hand.
“It’s ridiculous.”
“What are you saying is absurd, master?”
“I think I know why the Tessa Ring split into two branches and shone.”
If it hadn’t been for Tessaring’s abnormal reaction, Damian might not have felt anything strange even stepping into this sea of clouds.
That would also be the case because the < Conditions of the Oath > that Oberon had set up was very vague in the content of the quest.
‘Fog covering the entire forest. Magical response written as an unknown energy. And…’
“…Monster.”
flash!
Damian shone through the invisible sea of clouds.
In his mind, the scenes he had seen through < Sixth Sense Landscape > were passing by at high speed.
At first, he tried to find the men in the shabby robes Tessarin was pointing at, but after he stepped into the coniferous forest, he sensed hundreds of corpses.
Moreover, since it was covered by the sea of clouds, it was only natural that Damian could not hide his doubts through < Sixth Sense Landscape >.
Because it was out of the ordinary.
In the first place, it was strange that such a number of corpses were strewn about in the Utah Mountains, which would have been the second most difficult.
It was strange enough that the seeds of the monsters didn’t seem to dry out just because they had climbed over a few peaks.
Damian was finally able to guess the reason why the Utah Mountains had been so quiet…
“It was somehow strange. Obviously there weren’t as many monsters as this.”
“Is that so, master?”
“huh.”
So, Damian nodded his head at Mungchi’s words, while narrowing his eyes at the smell of blood as he went deeper into the sea of clouds.
The ecosystem of Utah Valley, which was created by the erosion of the Gok Glacier, was home to numerous wild ungoliants and even a forgotten spider queen.
It was no exaggeration to say that all the monsters that inhabited the Utah Mountains were buried here after being killed.
‘So that elven inspiration…’
Uuuuuuuu!
Damian raised his body’s mana and his eyes shone.
It seemed like he knew why Oberon had said that to himself.
Annoying things started to swarm in these mountains not too long ago, and because of that, I couldn’t concentrate on my work.
And that the cause of the commotion radiates an aura very similar to his own.
In other words, it was not that long ago that the silence of the Utah Mountains and Oberon’s planting began to become uncomfortable.
At the same time, it was no different than saying that the cause was an adventurer from another world or a group with the same power as himself.
Otherwise, there was no way I could have said such a thing.
In the first place, with the eyes of a great fairy king like Oberon, there was no way he could not recognize Shaka’s divine power or Abraxas’ power inherent in his body.
It wouldn’t have been that difficult to guess what kind of causal relationship the things that were currently plotting in the Utah Mountains were related to him. 「Because this mountain range has been infested with annoying things for a while now, it
ca n’t help but concentrate on the task.
」
There will be no lack of familiarity. If the mountain range becomes quiet again, then I will accept the contest you proposed.”
In other words, while knowing that Oberon was a troublesome body with Damien’s origin and tendency of -9999999999 from the beginning.
With this quest as a condition, he tried to test his qualities.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!!!”
“What?”
As Damian approached the center of the Sea of Clouds, sharp screams pierced his ears and rushed in.
It was a sound that came out simultaneously from all directions, not from one place.
Even though I couldn’t see an inch ahead, I couldn’t tell who was coming from where and how much.
For Damien, who already has the < Sixth Sense > and can identify all directions even with his eyes closed, this far-off sea of clouds is not a restriction at all.
“Slow.”
Kwaji support!
And while Damian dodged the assailant’s attack that rose from the side, he dug into the empty guy’s side and let out a fist.
It was a perfect counter for the unified workshop that was naturally connected like water flowing.
[Notice: The < twisted deformed test subject > has been eliminated!]
[Notice: The < twisted deformed deformed test subject > has been eliminated!]
….
[Notice: The < twisted deformed test subject > has been eliminated!]
“Oh what. It’s tight.”
Crunchy!
Damian broke the neck of the humanoid monster that was rushing towards him and closed his mouth.
It was an honest monster once.
Their level was lower than that of the Ungoliants, but seeing as they flocked in droves without being able to distinguish between the heavens and earth, it seemed that they were blindly pushing ahead, believing in the numbers scattered across the land.
In addition, seeing as they can run about 100 meters on all fours in seconds without any special ability, these ghouls could in some ways be more difficult types of monsters than the Ungoliant.
It was because the size was miniaturized compared to the monster’s body level.
In short, if the Berthas Ghoul of Aldeon Fortress was a bare-headed creature in the form of a naked human.
It is noteworthy that it has dark flesh and torn jawbones, as if carbonized by lava.
Moreover, considering that Berthas Ghoul’s body level was lower than expected except for its transformation ability, these < twisted transformation test subjects > could be said to have a fairly good sense of battle, such as attack power, defense power, and agility.
In other words, it felt like a high-level fight with hardened lava wrapped around the skin against the user.
Rather than possessing the technicality of a martial artist, it should be said that they thrust their sharp limbs and torn jawbone teeth with speed and power comparable to that of a fighter.
“Let’s see how far you can hold out.”
“Kirererererek!”
So Damian beats the body of the twisted transformation test subject with his fist.
I started to measure their combat power by crushing them one by one to see exactly what their body levels were.
For Damian, who is good at dealing with humanoids with limbs, including users existing in AC.
It was because unless they suddenly metamorphosed into bizarre shapes, I wasn’t very impressed with their arms shooting out like missiles or their feet stretching like whips.
“Is it chowder? A little harder than then. fast. Grade of strength.”
“That’s right, master!”
Whoa whoa!
As Damian slammed the twisted deformed test subject’s body down, the creature’s chest burst open and a howl of a wolf rang out.
It was a blue translucent wolf shape.
Due to the effect of the < Wolf Totemic Set > that he is wearing, he upgraded to a higher level, and thus automatically generated < Spirit Arrows > for all attacks, including simple physical attacks.
In addition, the moment the wolves split up with a 50% chance and flew towards the enemy, Damian felt the illusion that the sea of clouds where he was located suddenly flashed blue.
[Notice: Abnormal Status! < Warped Deformation Test Subject > is bleeding!]
[Notice: < Spirit Arrow > has been created automatically!]
[Notice: < Spirit Arrow > has split!]
….
[Notice: < Warped Deformation Test Subject > Killed!]
One-hit kill!
As the continuous magic damage of < Spirit Arrow >, which increased tenfold from 30 seconds to 300 seconds, entered the twisted deformed test subject at once.
It was because the wolf spirits with formidable power, which exceeded Damian’s physical attack, swept the sea of clouds.
“This… I don’t think there’s anything more to experiment with.”
Seruk! Squeak!
Damian scratched his sideburns shyly as he watched the wolf spirits smash the twisted metamorphosis subjects.
The black and red aura that flowed into the air was a bonus.
The Witch Doctor’s unique rune effect, which he obtained from defeating the mutated Siren and Aleister’s alter ego while preparing for death the other day, thus extorting a certain amount of physical strength and magical power when striking. [Notice: The effect of < Rune of Greed - Grabbing Hand > has been activated!]
[Notice: Absorbs the HP of the < Twisted Deformed Test Subject >!]
[Notice: Absorbs the MP of the < Twisted Deformed Test Subject >!]
Just by standing still, Damian automatically hunted monsters while absorbing stamina and magic from them, maintaining 100% constancy.
This was the reason he decided that there was nothing more to experiment with.
The level of the twisted deformed test subjects was already known at a glance, and their number had decreased noticeably to the point where it was hard to find any alive.
Moreover, since he manifested the power he took away from Aleister Crowley, Damian assumed that he would also vaguely notice his existence.
As Kiran said, originally, darkness swallows everything.
It was because Aleister would also be aiming for himself, just as Damian would complete the tree of the seven deadly sins and curse him.
“It’s about time you slowly reveal yourself.”
“I can’t see anything, master!”
As Damian muttered as he warmed up, Mungchi pulled out his binoculars—he couldn’t tell where he got them—from under his fur and looked out over the sea of clouds.
The < twisted deformed specimens > were just small puppies.
However, judging from the existence of these guys, what can be guessed is that Aleister Crowley is here and has been creating new monsters since Berthas Plateau.
The fact that the < Twisted Deformation Test Subject > looks like it was carbonized in lava and has a much higher level of body than Berthas Ghoul.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was a product of reinterpreting and recreating life based on the corpses of monsters that inhabited the Utah Mountains.
Damian felt a fundamental question as to why he was continuing his bioengineering endeavors without stopping at controlling and mass-producing monsters.
“If they don’t show up first… I have no choice but to go find them.”
Kurrrrr!
And while Damien activates < Sixth Sense Scenery > to send black and white waves across the sea of clouds.
The moment when he creates a mana storm centering on his whole body and pulls in all the mist.
“Master, bastard! There’s something strange over there!”
Before long, the trees of the coniferous forest, which were invisible before Damian’s eyes, appeared one by one.
A dark red curtain in the form of a hemisphere was clearly revealing itself from the distant light.
“…found.”
Fuck!
Before long, Damian’s lips drew an arc like a bow.
