Chapter 19: When It Became Flesh
Last Updated:
2021-11-20 20:14:44Monsters of different forms exited the crack in space, luckily for now the smaller, and weaker monsters were the only ones who escaped.
Of course, we would find it rather scary to face a bigger monster all of a sudden, although we were already screwed since that only means that far stronger monsters are waiting for us on the other side.
"Uhm, excuse me, Mr. Iliac…." The Association NPC called my attention, "Are you sure, it was ok not to wear any protective equipment!?"
"…."
I purposely paused, and studied the mood for a bit before returning my gaze back at her, "I'm going to be fine since I'm the strongest F-tier in the world," I meant

The day is about to end and the NPC's are wrapping up the situation, as announcements are now being broadcast in the area that the rupture has been managed. "Oh, look at the time… well as much as we wanted to chat, we have a lot of things going on since we are busy subjugating a quest, but thankfully we met here," Vanessa said. "You see, we've been planning to give this to Big Bro as thanks for all your guidance back in training school and at the guild," Latina said and gave me a green mint colored ring. "That is a Qilin Artifact, it might not be much but we thought you would like it's skill <AirWalk> and <Guardianship>," Janella continued. "The <AirWalk> sk

It has been two days, and being constantly attacked by waves of monsters every next hour sickens me. I hardly had time to recover from my fatigue, my body's limit is approaching. Looking at my ration of 12 potions, 5 blue potions, 3 demon poisoning, and 4 recovery potions, I calculated that I would only last for three more days. How many mini ruptures do I even need to subjugate before this nightmare ends. Is there even a progress bar? Doing this blindly makes me think that my efforts are in vain. Gulp. I drank a bottle of recovery potion and regained some of my strength, and reduced my fatigue.

I formed a worried smile as I walked calmly forward. It was still a couple of minutes of endless darkness even when using the <Shadow Transfer>. Just how long did I travel? As I was already at the entrance of the Chamber, I carefully opened the door and a wide abandoned room greeted my presence. When I made a few steps into the room, I heard a wisp of sound coming from the crevices of the blueish-black brick walls. I took careful steps, sensing every movement from the area. Cobwebs linger everywhere, and antique furniture layered with dust sits perfectly arranged in the corners of the room. I didn't waste much time and walked farther to explore.

The vial is well preserved and still looks as good as new. As I was about to bring out the silver key that I got from the other room, someone appeared in front of me. It's planning to steal the key in my hands. Before I could even think, the battle had already transpired. It happened in a blink of an eye. 'It won’t let me obtain the essence.' Regrettable, but there was nothing he could do but defeat this shadowy figure. I hid the key in my inventory and brought out my Chromium Tungsten-steel sword. Wrapping the short sword with holy energy, I tried to slash it but upon touching the sword it dissolved into dust….&nb

The reddish sky was tranquil, yet the wind was echoing as I walked the path towards the main Cave's entrance. Suddenly my senses tingled as I felt an enormous amount of demonic energy forming in one place. I instinctively raised my sword, yet nothing sudden happened. "Perhaps it was only my imagination," I said to myself as I made sure the place was peaceful and quiet— until I felt the basalt ground shaking. I saw the pool of lava moving and the sapling of the "Tree of Life and Death" become restless. I jumped straight towards the deforming rocks as it spewed smoke from its crevices. Slowly I looked up and saw sulfuric dust falling down from the ceiling as the nearby volcano was rumbling. Then I thought to myself, it was definitely those Gole

I quickly dash forward and immediately extend my feet and run mid-air dodging every upcoming lava fumes before it even sprouts. <AirWalk>!!! Right now I could jump from one point to another in mid-air and it seems that I could go a bit higher also. It was getting chaotic below me as a chain of lava fountains sprouted non-stop. The lava began to cool down, as the red gooey liquid slowly became hardened black. After ensuring that the below ground was now safe enough for me to land I withdrew the skill <AirWalk>, and I went down the smoldering remnants of the basalt. Tumble-! I landed gently on the ground, surro

"Ah, that immediately went wrong… I see rumors are now circulating." I sighed, "I need to do something sooner, but I cannot afford for many guilds to suddenly appear at my house and recruit me, if anything I need to establish my own team…. If this game is really up to something, I'll definitely find that out first." <Shadow Transfer>!!! I dashed across the shadows arriving at my apartment on the other side and hearing disembodied voices arguing with each other, "I wonder what those two are up to…" Right as I got near my door, my heightened senses allowed me to hear their conversation. "You should place the plate down at the sink and press the sponge with enough pressure to skim all the scum and dirt. Then do it like this, just smooth ci

"It looks like this quest aims to test the brains and brawn of our group… anyways we first need to divide our teams into those who will administer defense and those who will decipher the statue, what do you think Oren?" Jigen asked. "Well, me, Azriel and Galvin… that's our defense, the rest focus on deciphering the statue…" Oren said. "Ah, I think Azriel is better to be on the deciphering side! I will replace him in exchange!" Gwyneth suddenly interrupted. "Wait, Gwyneth… isn't your thinking flawed? I mean, obviously Azriel is stronger than most of us, he can definitely take on more monsters than any of us…" Sahra explained. "Well, haven't you noticed this quest is not about

I tried to locate the origin of the sound and noticed a screen featuring a girl— small and delicate as one seems to be. Her age could be anywhere from 16 to 19. It's striking to say that she's fair in a flawed, accessible way. [Ah, sorry. This is … uhm, you could say that she is the A.I. interface of the system that governs the whole operation of Evangelion.]"The Developer is a man of culture, I suppose," I told myself as I noticed how he was simping on a 2D projection. The artificial interface with the name seems friendly enough to make me less cautious but the mystery behind his motivation to create such a system still baffles me. Well, it's not that knowing his preference will change anything, I simply came here to finally have answers to my questions. [You know, I've been quite curious about you for quite a long time now, even before the Daejeon Underground Subway incident. To be honest, I never thought that you would survive for this long, even after being regard

I positioned the Satanic Blades in reverse grip, indicating that I'm going to take this seriously. At the same time, Valhalla and Hannah distanced themselves, now more determined to use everything in their arsenal to bring me down. I tried to used the to escape.But before we could even escape, a group of NPCs went forward towards us and a familiar NPC greeted us profoundly. "Greetings! I'm Nathaniel von Valenschtein, Challenger's Association's Officer in Charge, and Head Representative of the Monitoring Division. I'm pleased to meet you Mr. Iliac, congratulations for being officially regarded as a Candidate," Mr. Nathaniel monotonously introduced himself. "As for you, Ms. Luvia. I'm glad to have finally met you…."Ivana froze in place for his sudden appearance. However, I find it odd how much she is shuddering in anxiety."I see that you're also here, Ms. Hannah," Mr. Nathaniel, who is supposed to be the most emotionless NPC I know, suddenly gave a lovely smile.I

"Hadeon! Wait…." Valhalla called his attention. On the other hand, Hadeon pretended not to hear her and continued to make himself busy tending to his wounds."Are you purposely avoiding me!?" Valhalla lashes out. Hadeon has never acted like this before, and she seems to have an idea what exactly the reason is, "Ok, let me get this straight… I knew you were the one who called the association," she confessed. Hadeon's face soured as he heard her valid accusations, "Is there something wrong about that? He deliberately acted on his own…. Besides, why are you so overprotective of him now!?" Hadeon proceeded to raise his voice. "Hadeon, that's not the point! The situation is an emergency! You could've died there if he hadn't acted!" Valhalla asked. "That would've been better!" "Hadeon, are you hearing yourself right now…." Valhalla clenched her fist and looked dead straight into his eyes. "What do you want me to do then, thank him!? After he humiliated me in front of the guild?" Hadeo
Conscious Conscience Chapter 41: Bargain
As I was thinking about what I should do with these quest rewards, Valhalla, along with the few members of the guild, went to the other members' aid. Hadeon, on the other hand, tried to stand up on his own. Even though he seems to have already recovered from his injuries, his expression was dead and his eyes were droopy. I was about to approach them when Mr. Mulligan suddenly blocked my way, "It seems like the situation had been dire." "Yeah, a lot of things just happened…" I replied and scratched my head. A little later, I noticed I was still holding the Satanic Twin Blades."Ah, before I forgot, thank you for lending me the Short Swords, Sir…." I said, "I guess I should return it now…" I tried to hand him back the Twin Blades but he vehemently shook his hands."Don't bother, I already decided to give it to you anyways…" Mr. Mulligan smiled. I was tilting my head as I tried to be confused, when he suddenly mentioned my name, "I know that is you Azriel…." Unable to expect that he'
Conscious Conscience Chapter 40: The Temple of Israel - Part Two
The sorcerers fixed their gaze on me. It looks like they figured out that my strength is not enough to fight against this many opponents at the same time. They just need to bombard me with whatever attack to preoccupy me and their General will soon find the right timing to strike. To accomplish this, the sorcerers began to recite an incantation."…"Their lips started to move quickly."O striae tenebrarum! Attende cantilenam nostram, Quia in ipso aurorae periturus est!""It’s over, human!"The sorcerer’s mouth curled into a smile. Just in time, I felt the movement of demonic energy as the sorcerer continued the chant. "When was the last time I received a multi-layered Curse Enchantment?" I asked myself as I met one of the sorcerer's gaze. Its face was clearly thinking that they had already won. Unlike normal magic, curses normally could not be evaded. Once activated, it will manifest in its target. The only known way to stop it is to directly enchant an anti-curse rune enchantment i

As I stood up, the General brought out its weapon; A legendary Spiked Axehead, made of Lorestān bronze steel, The Wrath. He rested the axe at his shoulders and laughed derisively. "You'll pay for this, human!" The General gestured, and the troop who had been binded by my was partially freed by his demon magic. Soon enough, the Demon Army was able to surround me on all sides. Fortunately, the effect of my spell is still active making their movements sluggish. “How far will you last against the full force of the Demon Army, I wonder?” Unbeknownst to me, my expression turned unbelievably cold. Since the beginning of my birth, I already had a desire to fight against strong opponents, challenging myself again and again, but, to be honest, this was the first time that I had come across someone that I genuinely wanted to destroy, not just because he was strong— It's the end of the line for you, you trashy bastard. Slowly approaching the target, I spoke with a low voi
Conscious Conscience Chapter 38: The Demon Army General
Thick clouds of moist air surrounded the northern side of the island. The visibility is almost zero so it is hard for them to find out where they are. "Heighten your senses…. There might be monsters nearby," Valhalla commanded. To heed to the command everyone raised their weapons and silently scanned the whole vicinity. Scuffle! Scuffle!Valhalla heard something was rustling on the bushes surrounding the area, "There!" She threw her dagger straight at an unknown enemy. The monster screeched in pain and everyone scattered and surrounded the creature, Valhalla went close to the corpse and saw a heavily wounded Demonic Imp. It was a clean hit in the head but the Demonic Imp has injuries in other parts of its body. 'It looks like it just barely escaped from great danger, could it be that a predator monster exists here…?"Valhalla carried the corpse and dugged a deep hole on the island soil, "We should at least give this one a proper burial…" she said to herself and gently buried it in
Conscious Conscience Chapter 37: Chessboard
'Something doesn't feel right'However, I don't feel anything threatening or something. I cannot really put my finger on it, like my mind is warning me of something yet my body fails to react to it. 'Like I thought… the energy coming out is pitiful compared to when I first entered here.'The imps didn't dare to attack instead they just continued to run towards the exit, scrambling and tumbling as they went. It is as if the monsters ahead are so freakishly terrifying. That moment I was assured. Whatever is inside there is a formidable foe. '…Certainly, I shouldn't let myself get disappointed now. Do I?'Hadeon finally gave the order to move forward "Straight ahead!"The members that had been waiting for instructions all started to move as one. One by one, we slowly entered deep inside the cave. '…'Watching them, I followed closely behind.[Welcome to the Demon's Lair. Congratulations, you are the first to discover one of the ruins of the Underworld: the Hell's Gate! Rejoice as yo
Conscious Conscience Chapter 36: Underworld Has Awoken
A group of Bandersnatch scattered into the forest, while a few of them decided to face us. Their skin was pale white and they had this nightmarish skull-like face haloed in a wreath of beastial hair. Despite being called lesser demons, they are derived from a notorious species of Pax Demons that usually appear in hellish fables. '…They’re laughing at us.'The two Bandersnatch had lowered their claws and were laughing disgustingly at us. It was as if they were deciding if we are worthy to be hunted or not.Everyone's eyes became sharp. I could feel a certain amount of anxiety on our side. Lesser Demons are known to have notable intelligence, so their actions will be harder to predict compared to a raging beast or monster. Right now, they are eyeing a certain Challenger. 'Hannah Mayfrie.' Perhaps since she is the first person they encountered, or they see her as a threat. 'If I didn't suppress my energy, they would've targeted me as well.' The Bandersnatch's calculating ways annoy
