Episode 218:
Xernis!
The number of people who flocked to the event through word of mouth and word of mouth reached tens of millions.
A population so large that a typical city cannot accommodate it. However, in Xernis, there was a lord, X, who earned money like a dog and used it like a prince.
“I really don’t envy 5-star hotels.”
“It’s not that expensive to stay, so why don’t we just settle here? “I heard that the building rent will be reduced for guilds that are settling down now?”
“that’s right. “The surrounding hunting grounds are quite large, and there are quests to explore glacier ruins, right?”
Capture the users!
When X expressed his opinion, Zaul cleverly suggested a solution.
Having a guild residing in Xernis is of great help to your strength.
They could volunteer, or they could be hired as mercenaries when necessary.
“May the Goddess bless you.”
Since ancient times, religious facilities could not be left out. Because it was various religious facilities that took care of users who had nothing.
Temples of various gods were being built throughout Xernis. Among them, X looked closely at the temple of Sacredia.
‘There are still many questions about the heavens and the gods.’
Sacredia, the goddess of sacrifice, had a high affinity for X.
I would have received a lot of help. I could have supported her crusade as a lord for a better relationship, but I did not put it into practice.
X smoothed his chin.
‘I can see the other gods’ notice.’
Not all gods were kind to X. The reason was unknown, but
the ‘God of Fate’ especially blatantly disliked X. If you favored a specific god, there was a strong possibility that you would be hated by other gods.
“for the future.”
So that I can ascend to heaven and become friends with the gods! Through friendship, you can monopolize the quests of various gods!
X was already planning the future. With only a few hours left before departure, everyone was busy with the final inspection.
Thanks to X’s warning, many users had already gathered in front of the ship.
“Who knew the Explorer would see the light of day like this?”
“Even though he is the legendary explorer of Amman, he still rides the X Bus properly. Honestly, if we were with X, we could just go to the East Continent, right?”
“Damn, I’m jealous anyway.”
A jealous slap from users!
Asus, the leader of Explorer, was eavesdropping on every single detail of the conversation. Any normal person would lose their temper, but Asus was not normal either.
“Hehe, swear more!”
Asus was the type of person who became more motivated the more he was criticized. Because there was nothing more thrilling than succeeding in an expedition that everyone thought would fail.
Asus burst into laughter and took out the voyage log.
“There are two important points. “What are you listening to?”
“uh? “Oh, I’m listening!”
“Anyway, if you’re going to eat it...”
Where are the important ingredients?
X, who was inspecting the warehouse, listened to Asus’s call. As Asus said, there were two hot spots that would determine the success or failure of a voyage to the East Continent.
“First of all, the Tomb of the Sea King. This is a place where the ocean currents are so strong that a huge whirlpool floats on the surface of the water. Most explorers never made it past this tomb. Of course, I was like that in the past too.”
Relatively large ships were unable to ride the ocean currents due to their slow sailing speeds, and smaller ships were often destroyed by the ocean currents.
However, X’s ship, modified with Xernis’ technology, had a fast sailing speed.
“With this, you can say that you don’t have to worry about getting caught in the ocean current. Of course, since we don’t know what dangers may be lurking in the whirlpool, we cannot be complacent.”
X listened to Asus.
Truly a legendary explorer!
Asus used his unique skill ‘Treasure String’ to set Seo Ji-ha’s hairpin from the East Continent as a treasure.
With persistence and a little hard work, we were able to find the optimal route to the East Continent.
Buck Buck Aus scratched his head.
“The real problem is the navy that Seo Ji-ha mentioned.”
Navy of the Fire Empire!
The last hurdle was for the navies that had already been passed over to the highest-ranking princes.
They did not expect that they would be welcomed as they came to help the princess who was the lowest ranked princess.
X responded.
“Well, in the worst case scenario, we’ll have to fight an all-out war.”
A battle for the throne where people kill each other!
Shush! As the light disappeared, silence filled the cabin.
The hunt for Demon King Kaimus has begun.
*
Only after X’s streaming ended did Choi Seon-ho lay down in the capsule.
Because Fate has a time limit on access. I didn’t want to be forced to log out in the best of times.
《Welcome to player Kaimus.》
Tiroring!
Vision returns with a notification.
Kaimus woke up in the general’s office. The brilliant sunlight shining through the window seemed to represent his mood.
I clenched and unclenched my fists.
A chill lingered in Kaimus’ eyes.
‘He’s the devil.’
It was far from the job I initially aimed for, but it wasn’t bad. No, I was actually happy.
Just by following the words of the piece of data and sacrificing NPCs who were also pieces of data, he gained a power that no one could surpass.
Kaimus muttered softly.
“...I will take everything from you, X.”
Xernis is just the beginning.
I will become stronger with what I have taken from you.
Kaimus got up from his seat and put on his equipment. Not the official general’s armor, but personal armor made from royal rock iron.
Squeak! Then the door opened.
Gorgeous armor with a dragon engraved on it.
It was Bastard, another general and hero of Arba.
As its name suggests, Bastard had a tough yet sharp personality.
There was no way he would like Kaimus’ recent actions.
“Are you going out?”
“That’s right.”
“I’m surprised you went against the shaman’s words.”
Bastard said in passing.
He was also aware of the cooperative relationship between Kaimus and the palace shaman. Because it was the palace shaman who placed Kaimus, who was lacking, in the position of general. But even he couldn’t figure out the reason.
‘bothered.’
If I went further with the data, I wondered if there was a need to mix words with sacrifices.
I learned how to become stronger without having to please them. Kaimus didn’t want to waste any more time and get caught up with them.
He was being reborn as a true ‘Devil King’.
Bastard continued.
“Everyone in the palace knows that the shaman holds the king and shakes him. But no one has any doubts. “Do you know why?”
The intonation became increasingly intense.
“Even though he is a foolish king, he is our king. Because only the king can capture the public sentiment and center of Arba. But you and the shaman are putting me to the test. How long will you hold on to the palace and shake it...?!”
But the conversation did not last until the end.
Kaimus’ sword was fast and cut across the Bastard’s neck in an instant.
Bastard had a body like steel. But a black and foreign energy engulfed his body.
“Uuuuuup!!!”
“Your cubic crystal hastened its timing.”
“This guy can do something like this and still get away with it...!!”
An alien energy blocked my mouth and nose. The body that was twitching becomes quiet.
Soon, Bastard’s beast-like eyes lost their vitality.
Tiroling!
A notification rang for Kaimus.
[Other beings are satisfied with the excellent sacrifice!]
[Life sacrificed: 1,249 people]
“....”
Once again, silence reigned in the office. Kaimus was the last to wear a black helmet.
I quickly climbed through the window and started heading towards my destination. It wasn’t long before the sound of the breath I was holding came out from the open door.
“...What on earth is going on?”
Cold sweat glistened on Dazel’s forehead.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
