Chapter 143: The Tomb King's Great Sword Dance
This is how things started.
[You traveled through the chaotic time and space, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a fragment of a certain period of time:]
[Due to the chaos of time and space, you are surrounded by abyssal creatures]
[Two creatures who can help you have also strayed into this place, but they are currently in conflict and need your mediation. Please make your choice.]
[Option 1: Fight with the mushroom man]
[Choice 2: Hug each other with corrupt relatives]
[Choice 3: You are all my wings, fight with the mushroom people and embrace the corrupt followers]
Looking at the three options in front of him, Japar felt confused for the first time.
His question was - they were just abyss creatures, couldn't I kill them all by myself?
But this space did not give him any extra way out, but forced him to make a choice. He could not leave without choosing an option.
This is a bit disgusting.
Seeing this, Japar could only ponder.
A fistfight with the mushroom man? It seemed like the easiest thing to do, and if he was in a normal state, he would definitely choose this option.
Unfortunately, he is not in a normal state now. Because of the effect of [Swordsman of the Tomb King], his attack is high and his health is low. Even if he is hit by a punch from a zombie, he will die on the spot.
So no matter whether this mushroom man is strong or weak, he cannot choose this option.
Then the third one has to be excluded, "You are all my wings." Which genius came up with this line?
In the end, Japar found that he had only one choice, which was to embrace the corrupt followers.
If I just hug you, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
The scene flashed, and he suddenly found himself in a room that was no different from before, with a pale and grotesque creature standing in front of him.
That thing looks like neither human nor insect, with a bunch of little hands waving around in front of it. If you have insect phobia or trypophobia, you'd be in luck if you were here.
"It's not quite what I imagined,"
He had thought that the corrupt followers looked like rotten flesh and blood, but now it seems to be a little better, at least his clothes won't get dirty.
After all, Japar was a man who had seen a lot of storms and waves, so even if he had to hug this disgusting creature, he would not show much panic or disgust. He hugged it openly.
The corrupt family huddled in his arms, looking a little shy.
Well, not bad.
Japar tried his best to look forward, and he would feel better if he imagined the corrupt follower in his arms as a girl in armor.
He now believed that he had made the right choice. If he exchanged punches with the mushroom man, he would definitely die, but just a hug would be no problem. At most he could just take a shower after getting out.
[The corrupt followers' anxious mood has been appeased by you, and they will help you defeat the abyss creatures]
[You have been infected by the corruption of the corrupt followers. Don't worry, just hugging them won't cause a complete infection.]
[But the effect of Blessed Hell Sword makes you get infected much faster! ]
【You are infected with scarlet corruption! 】
“Puff—”
Japar suddenly vomited blood. He felt that his body was invaded by something foreign and some changes were taking place inside his body. This was not a good thing!
But he could not control his body, and could only watch himself vomiting blood while fighting side by side with the corrupt followers, bravely killing the enemies among the abyss creatures.
Fortunately, his strength in this simulation was still there and the creatures in the abyss could not touch him.
[You have successfully defeated the abyss creatures and gained the friendship of the corrupt followers. You may meet them again in the next journey.]
[The fierce battle deepened your scarlet corruption, and you now feel very weak]
[Receive Blessing: Scarlet Corruption]
[The blessing from the goddess of corruption is a big trouble for humans. Your vitality is rapidly decreasing. If you can't find a way to eliminate corruption, you will not be able to support four time and space jumps.]
Time jump, this is the name of the method of switching between rooms using the teleportation treasure chest.
Although the name is a bit common, it is simple and easy to understand.
[Obtained item: Bandit's treasure chest]
[New treasures will appear in the treasure chest after each time and space jump, and will disappear after three times.]
If Japar didn't have the debuff of the blessing [Sword of Hell], this event would be a pure bonus level.
Unfortunately, he brought it, so he could only move on with Scarlet Corruption.
He saw that the corrupt family members gave him a big hug after their victory, and they were as affectionate as if they were a family.
Japar had a blank expression on his face. He now wished he could chop the big bug into pieces.
The world in front of him refreshed again, and he returned to the empty room. Everything he had just experienced seemed like an illusion.
The scarlet corruption remained in his body in a different way, but it was not contagious.
Each time jump would reduce his vitality by about a quarter. If he did not use healing magic, he would not be able to survive more than four time jumps.
"This means we are completely separated," Gapar looked around and did not see any other people. He waited for a while and made sure that no one else would come here before he continued to move forward and opened the teleportation treasure chest.
This time it was a battle level, and what appeared before him were a group of familiar monsters - Gulu.
But these Gollums looked very wrong. They were stained with a black substance, becoming even more distorted.
"So-called abyss creatures?" Japar thought thoughtfully.
He had heard some things about the abyss, and also knew that a strange force called "abyss" could infect normal creatures - the above information came from Malu, and Malu's information came from Dal. The young man posted all the information he knew on the bulletin board.
After being infected by the abyss, Gollum became more ferocious and fought without restraint, and would attack even if his companions stood in his way.
The abyss makes monsters dangerous, Japar remembered this.
"But why have I never heard of such a thing?"
He opened the "circle" while thinking.
Currently, only the information about the Abyss has appeared in the Thane Dungeon. Is this place somehow connected to the Abyss? Or is the Abyss suppressed here?
Will there be abysses in other dungeons?
After thinking too much, Japar felt that he almost didn't recognize the word "abyss".
"Write to your old friend and ask him after you get out."
The attacks of the Gollums were not strong enough for him, and he could even withstand them with his body.
But there were too many debuffs, and the negative status forced him to dodge and be unharmed.
Gollum, who was infected by the abyss, has strong vitality and can fight back even after being cut. This forces the Sword Master to be careful, as even a single attack could cost him his life.
This feeling of being forced to do things by external factors is really uncomfortable. I haven't felt it for many years.
To deal with numerical monsters, you have to use mechanisms.
The negative state brought by the blessing is the best solution to deal with a strong man like the Sword Master. The next level option is to use numerical crushing.
Thanks to this, Japar is currently continuously emitting a large amount of mental power, and the Sion Dungeon is making a lot of money.
So far, the three groups have completed one event level and two battle levels, and it is time to choose blessings.
When Japar chose the [Blessing of Skeleton Leap] which belonged to the [Grave King] camp like the first two blessings, something magical happened!
[Successfully obtain the blessings of three types of Tomb Kings, unlock the profession: Tomb King's Servant]
[Hunting enemies and collecting their eyes, when a certain number is reached, the gift of Grave King's Great Sword Dance will be released automatically]
[The chance of receiving the Tomb King's blessing has increased]
"A gift?"
Japar suddenly discovered a brand on his left hand, the same mark as the Tomb King's blessing.
The brand was emitting a bloody red light, which meant that he could now use the Tomb King's Greatsword Dance once.
He really wanted to give it a try, so he immediately went over and opened the teleportation treasure chest.
This time, what appeared before him was no longer the soldier from before, but an elite monster.
[Swift Dragon Corroded by the Abyss]
The originally furry body of the velociraptor was now covered in a black mud-like abyss, emitting a ferocious aura all over its body. The moment Japar appeared, he had already pounced over.
Japar dodged the attack nimbly. He looked at the Tomb King's Brand in his hand, not knowing how to use it.
Should I shout "Gravelord Sword Dance"? Or should I release it at the monster from a distance?
The Swift Dragon's wings, as sharp as a knife, flapped towards him. Japar squatted down to avoid it and pressed his branded palm to the ground.
A piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind, and now he understood how to release the gift.
"Grave King's Great Sword Dance!"
There was no one around and no one would remember what Japar had done, so he suddenly had an idea and shouted out the name of the move.
Wow, I haven’t felt this kind of shameful and passionate feeling for a long time.
The next moment, the breath of death surged in the room, and this power made him feel threatened.
The ground was shaking and cracking, and huge red sword blades suddenly emerged from the ground. There were so many of them that the velociraptors had nowhere to hide when they got close to them!
Its body was pierced by the sword, and the place where it was hit was covered with a strong smell of death, which was constantly taking away its vitality.
This attack left it half-dead!
The power was beyond Japar's imagination, but on second thought, this was a gift from a being that seemed to be a god, so it was not surprising that it had such an effect.
In fact, Tomb King's Great Sword Dance was not that powerful.
The biggest effect of this gift is to continuously deduct health from the enemy. The damage of the sword blade is just a bonus, and the scattered sword blades are easy to miss when dealing with small enemies.
Japar was only able to achieve this effect because he released the Gift under the Swift Dragon, with the blades hitting almost all of them, and his own stats also increased the strength of the Gift.
After a while, Japar defeated the Swift Dragon and was choosing a new blessing.
He seemed to be enjoying it very much, and the uncertainty of obtaining the blessing made him feel a little bit excited about the future.
Alas, someone is about to fall into Sean’s “trap” again!
The city lord's room.
Gong Qiying looked at the crystal ball and said to himself, "Sure enough, we need to find a group of people to do the internal testing before the official launch."
He planned to delete the setting that "the adventurer's stats can affect the power of the gift" after the adventurers left, and change it so that no matter who uses the gift, the effect will be the same.
"There are still many problems,"
The notebook in front of him was full of questions, all of which needed to be revised.
If you flip forward, you can see his idea of the pigeon model.
