109 – When skydiving, make sure you have a parachute(2)
Ugh, the head.
It was nice to land safely on the ground. Indeed, Hans immediately grabbed his head and fell. It was because the headache he got from the time slowdown penalty was stronger than he could have imagined.
I only used it for a short time. This much of a headache, I don’t know how I used time slowdown for so long in the first place. Hans sighed and stood up.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t used time slowdown for a long time. Fortunately, the headache didn’t last that long. By the way, how do you escape from this forest now? Hans stuck out his tongue.
I knew the orcs were ignorant. He never even imagined that in this way he would drop. Could it be that those who have participated in the festival of warriors have done this?
Thanks to this, Hans felt that the already low first impression scores of the orcs were getting lower. But like this, he has no time for escapism. Hans moved.
“The Forest of Averca.”
Hans didn’t just come here riding a wyvern. He asked Dezra about this and that. Dezra, who liked Hans, obediently answered Hans’ question.
Utilizing the valuable information obtained in this way. Escape the forest and make the orcs on your side. Of course, the mediation of the 12 tribes and the orcs would have to be taken care of, too. That’s another story.
According to Dezra. This forest is said to be death itself. Literally every creature that inhabits this forest is hostile to intruders. For example, the sap of that vine over there.
Those vines are sap that can be eaten outside. Even if they are of the same type. Can’t eat here because it has poison. Dezra called it the will of the forest.
In other words, Hans was surrounded by enemies from all directions. It’s hard to get the most basic food. Of course, escaping the forest is bound to be difficult.
‘Damn it. Did I think it was too easy?’
Hans couldn’t help but admit that he was out of his mind. At this point, it would be better to fight directly and win. I didn’t see an answer like that.
But he soon swallowed the idea. He’s already doing nothing but spilled water, regret. He didn’t change anything. So, he goes ahead. He came all the way here with one heart.
He will continue to move forward. Hans moved on his steps. He was clearly surrounded by trees and grass. A cold north wind continued to blow. You don’t stop me
Well, it is said that forests reject intruders. This wouldn’t be surprising. Hans raised his head and looked around. Surprisingly, everything around looked the same.
Not that it isn’t.
It’s like walking through a maze made of real mirrors.
I felt that way.
I see…… I don’t even know where I am now Is it because of the snow in the forest? Or is it because of the intense light close to white light? Although the cause was unknown. I know only one danger.
One day, I heard something like that. If there are still people in a room that is only white. That in the end it will go crazy. I still don’t know if it’s real or fake, but…….
From noble mtl dot com.
Now that I’ve been through this. It was Hans who thought that might be true. Where i am now I don’t know how much time has passed. Eventually, Hans used his ability.
“Heo, heo, heo…!!!”
My head hurts. Even though he didn’t use time slowdown, Hans now had a staggering headache. Because the environment of the forest was attacking him. If he hadn’t used his powers.
Perhaps, Hans might have passed out here. Is this what Dezra was talking about? They say that if the spirit is weak, he will be quickly eaten by the forest. Certainly, I am far from mental strength.
Even if it’s someone else. Only he can know While training together, how weak I am. Every time I do that, I think about it. If not, what am I?
Nothing.
I hate myself for relying on abominable abilities.
So the general manager…….
…… What was I thinking?
Hans blinked. Beyond that, I couldn’t think of anything else. It also had a hypnotic effect. Most of all, it was because all of a sudden the surrounding landscape changed in an instant.
The place where Hans was until just now was in the forest. However, the moment I used the time stop. The trees and grass that made up the forest disappeared in an instant. Instead, an old temple took its place.
No, it couldn’t even be called a temple. The site collapsed, and the place was filled with only the remaining stone fragments and the remains of broken statues. Rather than a temple, it would be more accurate to call it the ruins of what was once a temple.
The sudden turn of events made Hans unable to do anything but blink his eyes. He just used time stop, but the scenery in the forest suddenly changed? There are degrees of magic…….
‘No, no. It’s not like magic.’
The knowledge of the deceased in Hans’ head shone through. In this game, there are places called ruins. It’s kind of like a dungeon system. If you go in there and catch the boss.
In addition to legendary items, it was a kind of enhancement system that further strengthened the player. This game is a game, but at the same time, one of the reasons why it is called an RPG is the growth system.
Compared to other game games that put it on the sidelines. Because this game was unexpectedly included as a full-fledged main content element. There was even a rice cake god that raped after winning a fight.
However, the ruins were only unlocked when conditions were lifted. According to the setting of the game, it is the crystallization of the power left by the ancestors of the past who foresaw the current situation to train the chosen ones.
‘But can I do this now?’
Hans was troubled. It was a long talk, but in the end, the ruins were a power-up event prepared for the protagonist of this game. If you don’t do a lot of growth content including ruins properly.
If you cannot unite the power of the union, the only thing that follows is an ending in which everyone is defeated by the final boss, the Demon King. Or even if it’s not, it’s a boring normal ending.
No…… Even though it wasn’t a good ending in the first place, there wasn’t much difference. But Hans changed his mind. Averca appears as a region in the game. Although you can actually visit.
There were no ruins in this area in the game. But then there is a contradiction in the setting. The ruins were prepared for the chosen ones by the ancestors who foresaw this situation.
In fact, as you follow the story in the game, you will naturally encounter ruins. Aside from the hassle of clearing it. Anyway, I remember 17 ruins for the main character.
In other words, this is not a ruin prepared for the main character. Then why the hell are these ruins here? Hans’s head was now jumbled and confused.
“I have no choice but to try for now.”
“What do you think is the hardest thing to beat in this world?”
Hans raised his head. I saw it raising its body from the collapsed rubble. It eventually took on a human form. However, before it even fully took shape. It has spoken
“Strength? Or Fear?”
The field of vision shakes greatly. Just by facing each other, Hans felt like running away from the spot. Fear? Fear? No, I didn’t mean to refer to it with such a lame word.
It was something primal. Run away right now if you don’t want to die Paradoxically, however, the fear hardened Hans’ legs. Before long, it appeared before my eyes.
It looked like there were pieces of flesh attached to both arms. Its face was as huge as a rock, and it even wore glasses. Is that all? It sticks out all the way to the belly. He was truly an uncle.
“The thing I fear the most is myself.”
“…….”
“Well, how about it. You are prepared to kill yourself…”
“Die!! Garbage!!!”
It was instinct. That a person has been greatly betrayed by what he truly loved. The trauma of that time. It made Hans’ body move. Even if it’s just a game.
He was truly in love. Play that game. Everything he’s ever done. But when the culprit appeared before his eyes, he couldn’t help but be angry. Hans instinctively moved his body.
Then it tried to move. It is the one who tests the opponent. Copy everything of the opponent and make it your own. But even with that, he couldn’t penetrate the essence of his opponent this time.
Of course, if the opponent was a different entity, there would have been a chance. Because the power of stopping time is so great. But, unfortunately, his opponent is himself. Time stop couldn’t work for him.
Hans’ sword pierced its heart.
Fragmented debris tumbled across the ground.
In the end, what was left there. It was a single sword.
