Chapter 122: Star Fall (5)

Chapter 122: Star Fall (5)

Someone once said the world looks different based on what your heart is set on.

Aahhh, Coach Anzai, you were so right. Its so nice to give up

I let go of everything. Not just rage-quitting but a true let-go. The situation has to be at a level I can control to at least have the thought of doing something, but what can a measly Professor Park do when its a god were up against?

Yeah. I think I was too caught up in the hero role. I thought that I needed to know and do everything in order for things to work out. Lets go back to the start. Back when I was worried that my feet would get blisters by taking one wrong step. Im a noob! A noob that couldnt dare figure out the almighty mutes legendary plan! Eheheheh!

======

- takealook : this kids eyes look deadd

- Jokass : Imagine that was you. Lets be honest, what the f did prof do wrong in this seed? Its a miracle in the first place that he managed to drag the trash character soybar made for laughs all the way here. Look at his stream rank. Hes in 5th place, 5th. Hes right under Goldman, that filthy rich old man, with a free randomized Realistic Mode character. I do joke that its time for him to go, but I cant anymore. What use is hard work when seed luck is more than 99 percent of the game. Motherfing trash game.

- Noru_is_druig : Cant read more than three lines. TL;DR?

- Jokass : Feel too bad for him to enjoy his pain anymore. / His stream rank proves his efforts. / Motherfing trash game

- Noru_is_druig : thx

- korekorekorekore : maybe the devs did this on purpose? maybe they went like oh shoot, this guy might actually make it to the next world and used the admin permissions to f the game. yknow like how the game gets messed up to balance the character if they add too many options on the character.

- Numb3rtree : This. The Gedroits Company coords for game clear was an empty promise. They didnt have the intention to let anyone clear it in the first place.

- Highwaynachoman : Look at it on the bright side. prof should have made a good haul from streaming, and the reason why hes a ranker right now is because hes opened up a completely new route that none of the other rankers knew. profs play on this world will probably be a good stepping stone for new type rankers like Wabbit Pwincess or Emperor Qianliu to make a new, clean World 3 clear seed. Id say this wasnt a complete loss.

- Undam_undam : good stepping stone LMAOOOOOO he a stepping stone now

- professor : im not dead yet you asshats

- Nutriagena : damn, the corpse is talking

- Jokass : youre already in the waiting line to the graveyard, thats basically as good as dead.

Mmm. These guys are getting on my nerves, pretending to be all nice and empathetic.

Of course, that didnt mean that he completely gave up. He was just going to narrow down his wide field of view. There was a sort of pressure on him to work things out well in the game because of Hyde, but now that things were getting out of hand, it just felt like it didnt matter what happened anymore. That honestly lifted a big load off his shoulders. And helped him figure out exactly what he needed to do now.

Hey bal Ahem! Priest Dimanus? I saw that you could see Bishop Senadis through the communication magic back there, so can they also see this side?

Yes That is the case

Okay, good. Its a two-way video call, then.

Then contact her one more time. It wont take long. Theres just something I want to show her.

Mmmm There isnt much holy power left, but if its only for a moment

Ottman, sir? The far-sight magic one more time, please. The same place as yesterday.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

Alright.

Shortly after, the light shone out of the relic once again, and Senadis appeared with a slightly irritated expression.

Brother Dimanus, you should be aware of the situation at the capitol. I believe I told you to return right away after delivering the news to the warrior

I-its not like that, Reverend, maam!

She must have been pretty busy, as she glared our way while sorting through several different documents. I quickly budged in because it looked like she would hang up at any moment.

Wait a moment! Bishop Senadis, do you see this?

This voice Warrior Professor. What do you exactly mean by this?

The sharp thorn in Senadiss voice melted away the moment I showed the screen of the Far-Sight magic ball to the light.

This is

Lets make some things clear first. The first mission we receivedcan you revoke that one? The one to assassinate the Queen. I really do appreciate that you consider me so highly, but, you know, all I have is this one relic, and I dont think thats going to be enough to fight an entire evil god and all

Well of course. I am afraid that your current capacity is indeed inadequate to reach the Queen.

Professor nodded his head in enthusiastic agreement. The only thing warrior-like about our group was our name. The actual warriors are monsters compared to us. Id feel a little guilty being set on the same level as guys who can flatten a mountain in a single swing.

Senadis looked incredibly surprised as she looked at the Chamber Maid through the water lens.

Goodness Thats already all the way here?

Huh, what? I was preparing to lay out a whole explanation for her.

You know what that is?

Only a few know, even amongst the church Its an entity that has been starting to show up in kingdoms close to the northern region. The mages have given it a temporary name as Maid, but from the considerable number of mutes that appeared with it, we are suspecting that its a sort of commander role within the mutes. From what you are saying, I assume you know about this entity?

He could hear the silent How did you know that? at the end of the sentence.

Ah, yeah. Well. You know. My special relationship with the Queen and all.

When I responded while tapping on my head, Senadis nodded her head with understanding.

Isaac Mandaliuss Test Subject. You must have learned through the mutes connection with the Queen. I knew you were too valuable to throw away like that.

Phew! This is really convenient!

The setting in which I was connected with the mutes was because of the mages experiments. I was pretty heavily discriminated against because of it, but thanks to that, it was incredibly easy to deliver the information I learned in real life to the NPCs.

=====

You How did you know that? Not even the researchers in the mage towers know that!

Huh?

You! You must be the spy of the enemy!

Hes the evil gods puppet!

Heretic! Heretic! Heretic!

Kill him! Burn him! Rip him to shreds! The light will turn you to ashes!

=====

The church and royals were already on high alert because of the Insomnia Crabs, so they would have chopped me right away.

But because I already set up the infected by mutes but regained a human conscience as a special case story, I could always use the my infected body heard it! The Queen spoke to me! as an excuse.

The mute that you call a Maid is a production factory to create mutes in places other than the nest.

Wuurh? Subjugate subordinate? No. Just followed when talked to it. Gwuhuhuh, soul is cute. Small aggressive soul.

Yes, yes! You can start with weak, harmless souls like small birds or mice

Grwuh? This is soul of orc that was ripped into five pieces. Spraying black smoke and trying to bite.

Ahhhh! H-hand that over! Thats a ghoul! Hurry!

Grugh. Ghost oldie. Got bald because you like free stuff. Pay for the good stuff.

After the battle with the dark mage, she started to stick around Aldrich all day, asking him about this and that, and she was already at this level.

I was wrong. Just because of her innate strength, I thought she would be a fighter-type Hero Unit, but thats just because she was a troll. Her real ability was something else!

Pling!

When he had been watching Notum play around with small souls that were dancing around her fingers, a familiar, nice notification sound rang for the first time in a while. He turned off almost all of the system alarms in order to concentrate on the game, but looking at how it still appeared, it must be a pretty darn important notification.

[Information Update : Hero Unit - Notum]

The troll youve accepted as a comrade, has a potential beyond expectations. Surprisingly, this female troll has managed to unleash her races unique sorcery powers without any guidance or assistance from her kind!

Confirmed traits: Overall Physical Ability Lv.2 (Race) / Self-Heal Lv.3 (Race) / Strength Lv.3 (Race) / Intelligence Lv.9 (Race Penalty -Lv.3) / Guider of Souls Lv.8 (Special)

=====

- Soygaybar : Damn she was lv9 intel

- Jokass : Thats the first thing you say after dipping for that long? Thought you died.

- Soygaybar : Did a couple times.

- Jokass : cap

- Speedwagon : Dont think its cap. Hes a Dome guy. Probably went through hell.

- Noru_is_druig : Ah, right. Youre living in the Dome. Did you see Gyosu? Is he really living with a mutant on his arm?

- Numb3rtree : I heard he got a real big parade on his way out of the Dome, did you see him then?

- Soygaybar : I, I.. I dont know anything! I dont even know who Gyosu Park is!

- Speedwagon : The embargo must be pretty darn high if even that nutcase is keeping quiet. Looks like the Domes on a high alert too.

- Soygaybar : L, Lets talk about the game, yeah, the game! Theyre a intel. 9 and has a special ability! Wow! Hero Unit! So kewl!

- Noru_is_druig : He really must have gone through a lot. Hes an idiot now.

- Nutriagena : But isnt 9 intel really high? Arent the 5 Great Judges all the way over in the free trade zone super west of the blueline an average intelligence of 8?

- Jokass : But theyre actually a 6 because of the race penalty. Although a 6 is still on par with the average tactician of a country.

=====

Opening up the window I shoved into a corner of the screen, I saw a waterfall of messages pour out of the chatroom along with Notums new information.

=====

- professor : Anyone know what a soul guider is?

- Jokass : its a type of sorcery

- professor : not you

- Noru_is_druig : they guide souls

- professor : you wanna get kicked?

- Speedwagon : Guider of Souls. Appears in Sorcerer or Prophet classes from the Eastern Great Desert, or very rarely within Dark Mage classes, but mostly a main Sorcerer class trait from sorcers that come from the Southern Great Forest. If Mages take up about 2.5 percent of all jobs, Sorcerers are close to 0.25 percent. Not much data available because all of the Players with the class died. For now, its been confirmed that the Troll Head Sorcerer from World 2 was a Lv.5 Guider of Souls.

- professor : I am always indebted to you Speedwagon sir. The location of the BDSM shelter has been officially released, so if you stop by anytime, we will do our best to welcome you.

- Speedwagon :

- Speedwagon : DM for business. Aight for now.

=====

Oh, are they really coming?

It was just a means to say thank you, but that wasnt a bad reaction. Ill need to contact them once Im out.

Anyway, Notum is a definite Sorcerer now. Not to mention an incredibly rare troll sorcerer.

If the Head Sorcerer was Level 5, then just how strong is Notum? And she isnt just a little smarter than normal, either. Thinking about it, didnt she just learn a completely different races language just by listening to it? Thats like learning how to speak like a dog just by listening to it bark for a few years!

Notum was playing with the blueish-black souls that were floating around her. Even people who dont know what a Soulbinder is could tell that this isnt just a normal talent.

This is just six days worth of progress after the battle with the dark mage. Shes not deadweightshes a treasure chest!

Alright? You stay right next to Mister Aldrich, okay?

Grwuh. Big small human. Was never bad listening to you. Will obey.

Honestly, he would have rather kept here somewhere safe, but that could cause a chance for all sorts of bad traits like [Loneliness], [Discriminated], [Timid], [Refuses to Fight] to be obtained. The only thing he could do was keep her close and watch her progress.

Note : Notum. Normal fighter. Max potential Sorcerer. Support assassin group with Aldrich.

Now then, thats everything! While Mage Ottman and I turn the attention of the enemy, Mister Aldrich and Notum will support Borka and chop off the Maids head! Any questions?

Rustle!

The moment he finished, Ottman raised his hand.

There is one thing I do not understand I will be in a safe location as a support, but how are you going to take on the attacks of the enemies, Professor?

Uh I was just gonna go be their punching bag.

Professor snickered as he saw Ottmans expression darken. This old man must be thinking that Im risking my life over here.

Just trust me and follow. I dont plan on dying either. Honestly, Im not confident that I can win against that massive army, but I can at least stay alive and keep them at bay even if its several times that number.

But how?

Heheheheh. Youre a mage. Try to think of how.

Looking at Ottmans face turned twice as dark as before, Professor tapped on his head.

It is a mystery whether the bloodlust mode can withstand the power of high-ranking mutes over Rank 3 but if the plan I have works, then there wont be a unit with higher sustainability than me in World 3, at least when it comes to mutes.
