Episode 104
Saaaaa.
I can hear the sound of fluttering sand.
X, who had been silent, clenched his fists.
“…That’s how it happened.”
I had no intention of being caught up in unpleasant thoughts.
But to be honest, I couldn’t help but be concerned.
It was said that the fall of the ancient kingdom was the result of human sacrifice, or human sacrifice at the national level, being successful all at once.
‘Still, I got quite a bit of information.’
Information about other beings!
If he had only done the Ancient Kingdom quest, he wouldn’t have even figured it out yet, but there was information that X heard from Sioras. Those two pieces of information fit together as if they had been pieced together.
X, who was thinking, nodded.
‘Master, you were moving in the best way.’
Purification of contaminated rune stones.
Sioras also did not know exactly why the worshipers were polluting the rune stones.
But if you get tired, you will win every battle. I felt like I could deal with them more efficiently if I knew the reason.
But right now, X also had work to do.
“Let’s see…”
X looked around.
In the lonely desert landscape, X looked around and made an estimate.
‘Where is the exact center?’
A royal palace located in the center of the ancient kingdom. There was a contaminated rune stone in the basent of the royal palace.
The runestone cannot be moved, so it will still be in its place!
X worked diligently to find the center of the desert.
*
‘It’s around here. It is certainly.’
X, who had been shooting around the Desert of Oblivion for a while, stopped.
In the center of the desert, where other beings were expected to be located, nothing was seen except sand. It was enough ti for the magnificent palace to be completely buried.
“It seems impossible to delve into this.”
There was a level of ex-rado that was enjoyable even though it was a tolerable amount of hard work. It was impossible to dig out the sand and find the palace. X stroked his chin and was lost in thought.
‘Worshipers are still active all over the world. If this is their base, there is a high possibility that they will show up here.’
If you wait here, you can enter the main base by following the approaching worshiper. But X calmly anticipated the next move.
“…Can you handle it?”
At best, it would be a struggle to the death with the lowest level worshiper.
It was Sioras’ assessnt of X’s level. Although X-Ragon has grown since then, it is the ho of a completely different entity. It was foolish to rush in hastily.
“I guess I should consult with Master.”
The quest is to find out information about hidden places and other beings in the Desert of Oblivion.
Since I found out information about other beings through the diary, it seed like there wouldn’t be much trouble in proceeding to the next quest as long as I was able to figure out the hidden location.
‘Plus, I need to learn how to purify rune stones.’
Purification of the Frost Storm Cliff Runestone!
It wasn’t a quest, but it was Zawl’s request. It was an X that must be taught both for the dream of becoming rich and to prevent the resurrection of other beings.
After organizing his thoughts, X sat down without any regrets. Then he muttered as he took out the dishes one by one from his inventory.
“There’s nothing better to pass the ti while you’re waiting than cooking! It was so disappointing that it turned out well? “Well, there’s sand flying around, but it doesn’t matter because I’m going to eat it all by myself.”
I’ll focus on cooking until a suspicious guy shows up!
X, who had no intention of giving up on his proficiency and stats as well as his quest, began to diligently play with his sword.
*
‘co.’
It was close to midnight the next day when sothing suspicious was detected.
After finishing the dinner, a dark figure ca into X’s field of vision while he was watching his surroundings.
‘If it’s in that direction, does it co via Arba?’
To the west of the Desert of Oblivion was Arba, the continent’s largest city.
At first, I thought it might be a user, but there would be no unreasonable user heading to the very center of the desert of oblivion in the middle of the night like this.
‘We’re already in an uproar because of PK.’
The number of tourists in the Desert of Oblivion is rapidly increasing! Because of the PK of the evil people targeting them, they could not feel any signs of popularity in the dark of the night. But the figure is getting closer. X opened his mouth secretly.
“Dark fairy tale.”
The set effect of pure dark iron equipnt is a dark assimilation!
In an instant, X’s body disappeared without a sound, as if blending into the darkness. X, who had used Dark Assimilation while waiting, clearly understood the limits of its effect.
‘As long as you don’t take any hostile action, there is no need to worry about being caught.’
Unless he was making a preemptive attack, no matter how good his sixth sense was, he couldn’t find the hidden X.
Even Yongyong didn’t notice X hiding in the dark.
Shashak.
Thanks to this, the figure ca right in front of X. There was no need to worry about whether the admirer was right or whether I was mistaken.
X, who saw the figure, was astonished.
‘…ha white mask!’
He is an unforgettable guy. A worshiper wearing a white mask and colorful silk clothes. This is the guy who led the ancient kingdom to destruction!
Shaking my head. X shook his head.
‘No, I’m not sure.’
It could have just been the sa outfit. But what is certain is that this guy is a worshiper of another being. Moreover, judging from the sense of heterogeneity he felt, he was a very dangerous guy.
Suddenly, the worshiper raised his palm. And then I started chanting a spell on the empty sand. X’s pupils dilated at the sound of that voice.
“The beginning and the end, creation and destruction.”
The voice is the sa without any unique emotions. It was definitely the guy I had encountered in the Guardian’s fantasy.
X was suppressing his impulses in the dark.
‘How old is that?!’
If you’ve been alive since the Old Kingdom, isn’t this beyond the level of longevity? Judging by the taste and the energy felt, it was clear that he was one of the strongest among the worshipers.
‘I would like to compete against each other.’
As I said, that’s obviously stupid. X, calmly calming his mind, watched his admirer.
Sssss.
When the short spell was over, the worshiper’s divine form disappeared as if it had been sucked into sand. X opened his mouth.
“This is the ho of another being.”
Tiroling!
A notification rang.
[You have succeeded in the quest!]
A notification informing you of the success of the Ancient Kingdom chain quest!
As before, the next linked quest did not imdiately co to mind.
Green onions!
After checking the notification, X began running at full speed through the Desert of Oblivion.
‘This effort must not be in vain!’
The ho of other beings and how to enter them!
Who is this other being? They are like the final boss of Fate. Considering the reward that will be given when he defeats him, X has gained invaluable information that cannot be exchanged for anything.
Therefore, X planned to escape the Desert of Oblivion before the worshipers noticed sothing strange. I used Dark Assimilation, but there was no harm in being careful.
Shashak!
X said while cutting through the desert.
“The Master’s only disciple did it.”
*
1 gold per night.
A shabby inn in Arba.
The white paper crane didn’t even move slightly.
-…If what you say is true, this is not normal.
Sioras had heard the whole story from X.
Even Sioras, who always gave answers without hesitation, is now in a situation where she will remain silent. Even X could understand.
‘Well, you must be much more shocked than .’
For X, Fate was so important that it could be called his second life.
However, even if you are imrsed and spend more ti than reality, it is not reality.
However, for the NPC Sioras, Fate World is where he was born and where he lives. Therefore, Sioras could not help but feel terrible emotions when he heard the words “large-scale human sacrifice.”
-Yes, that’s how it happened. I had my own guess, but now that it has been confird, I feel uneasy. That alone makes shiver, but I can’t believe he was preparing another ugly evil deed.
Goooooh.
Sioras was so angry that the mana in the paper crane was shaking.
But that didn’t last long either.
Soon, a cold voice flowed from the paper crane.
– No race can survive for hundreds of thousands of years.
“you’re right.”
X was also able to understand because he had defeated the worshiper. The worshiper I defeated in the forest of old trees only looked human, and when he fell, he boiled and evaporated.
Sioras’ kind voice continued.
-If it were a top worshiper like that, even I would have a hard ti handling it. If I had moved hastily, I would have missed a lot. In that sense, you made the best decision. After all, you are my disciple!
“I just did what I learned from my teacher.”
X swallowed a sigh along with his habitual lip service.
It’s a level that even Sioras, who is clearly one of the strongest in the Fate World, can’t handle.
‘Okay, there’s a long way to go, but it’s still a long way!’
The stronger the enemy, the more powerful it was. Sioras, who was satisfied with X’s answer, continued.
-Now that we have learned that runestone contamination is essential for large-scale human sacrifice, there is a need to defend the runestone more completely. It will be a great help when persuading others.
“Others?”
-Heroes who commanded the world in the past. Each of them hides their appearance and identity for different reasons. Isn’t it just one thing to want to protect the world?
The heroes of Fate!
Sioras seed to be moving steadily in his own way. He thought that the information gathered by X could make the powerful people hiding around the world take action.
X answered sincerely.
“I really want to et them soday!”
I want to et those heroes and monopolize all the honey!
Among current users, there were very few NPCs who could be called heroes.
Among the surviving NPCs, at most he was the general of the Arba Kingdom.
That’s because in Fate, there are countless monsters and NPCs from regions and races that have not yet been discovered.
But how strong would a hero who commanded the vast Fate World be?
‘For those people, there is at least one thing left to learn.’
Just thinking about the Gourt King and Sioras was beyond imagination.
Sioras responded to X’s words as if it was obvious.
-There’s nothing we can’t et. Since we have a common goal of the well-being of Fate World, we will inevitably encounter each other as we work in our respective positions.
“Hehe, then, Master, please introduce yourself.”
-Hehe. Still, thanks to you, I’m hearing people shouting that they can only brag about their students.
As expected, true teacher Sioras!
X talked to Sioras while hiding his greedy intentions. We also shared important stories that we couldn’t share because of Ulrik and Danwoo.
-It’s a sha there’s no progress in heavenly cooking. But don’t be too discouraged. Ti heals everything. Even if it is called enlightennt, it is more likely to co to those who wait patiently.
“You are correct.”
anwhile, Sioras spoke in a serious voice.
-Hehe. An old man who cannot sleep at night cannot hold on to his disciple forever. Let us tell the last story that must be told. About how to purify contaminated rune stones.
“!”
How to purify rune stones.
Frost Storm Cliff was, of course, knowledge that would be useful in the future.
No, it was information that must be acquired in order to prevent human sacrifice with other beings.
The paper crane flapped its wings softly. Sioras continued speaking calmly.
The expression on X’s face as he was listening was mysterious. Soon, X hesitantly opened his mouth.
“…Master, the howork inspection was too sudden?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
