I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill-Novel
Chapter 89.1: Ruins of Cabolissa (3)Chapter 89.1: Ruins of Cabolissa (3)
Unknown memories.
I hurriedly urged the guide to strengthen the magic to see if those memories would return, but the answer that I got was disappointing.
– I only activated the already engraved spell, so it’s not something I can control. No, more than that, why are you fine…?
Shit.
I clicked my tongue and scratched my head.
Memories that have now completely disappeared only linger in my mind, with only fleeting moments remaining sparsely.
It differed from the déjà vu memories I experienced last time in Actipol.
I knew it instinctively. It must have been the memories related to the original owner of this body.
It was regrettable that the memories ended there.
There’s no reason to know this body’s past. But anyway, it’s a body that I possessed, so I have no choice but to be curious.
I was immersed in my thoughts as I recalled the fragments of the faint memories that remained, and then I looked up.
– Was there something wrong with the magic? There’s no way that could be the case… But it makes little sense to resist with pure mental power…
“Hey.”
I asked the guide, who was circling above me and behaving frantically.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Is this the end of the ordeal?”
– …
The guy grunted and groaned and eventually answered reluctantly.
– Yes… You have passed the ordeal. It’s the first time I’ve seen such an absurd case.
It ended very simply.
Since I had the [Soul of the King], I already expected this result from the very beginning.
I turned my gaze to look at the collapsed Asher.
I passed, but it would take a while for her to overcome the ordeal and wake up. It was like that in the game.
When she challenged the trials in the game, she was at a lower level than now.
The higher the level, the easier it would be to pass through the ordeal. The situation wouldn’t be worse than what it was in the game.
All that’s left now was to wait patiently.
I moved closer to Asher.
I turned her over and laid her upright, then moved to the wall at the corner and sat down with my back leaning against it.
The guide, who was looking at the scene curiously, asked me.
– A really strange person came in. Is there anything else you want to ask about the ordeal? Your colleague is probably going crazy inside her mind.
He probably thought that my carefree attitude was strange.
He probably initially just thought of me as an adventurer who stumbled into the ruins by accident.
I asked the other.
“Since I passed the ordeal, would I receive a reward?”
– Uhm, yes. But if you leave this place alone, the ordeal would be void.
Of course, there was no way I would leave Asher alone and go out on my own.
Rather, I should prepare just in case she did not pass the ordeal…
Will leaving this space lift the effect of the hallucination magic?”
– Yes.
“Then, is it against the rules if I forcefully take out a colleague who has not passed yet?
– Of course it’s a violation! Once you challenge the ordeal, no one can interfere. If such a case happened, I will punish you myself.
The guide shouted resolutely.
I stroked my chin and looked at his level.
【Lv. 83]
Fairly high level.
It could be called a spiritual body, but it was not a mere soul, since I could see his form clearly.
Judging from the aura I felt, it was mixed with magic power… It must have been the magic of a great sage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe source of power was not the energy of nature, but magic power. I wondered if it was like that of a spirit.
If Asher failed the ordeal and he prevented us from escaping outside, then we would have to fight.
It would be difficult to spread a shield, so if a battle broke out, was it best to annihilate the other with a surprise attack?
As if he knew what I was thinking, the guide had his arms crossed with a solemn expression.
I spoke to the guy again.
“I’m bored. Let’s talk.”
– Talk? Hmm, good.
He appeared uninterested, but he couldn’t hide his excitement.
Like the initial reaction earlier, he must have been stuck here alone for a very long time.
If I tried to become close to the other like this, he might let his guard down and then it would be easier to do a surprise attack later when needed.
Of course, there was the fact that he was the only one I could talk to here. It could at least ease my boredom.
– The last group of challenger came here over 100 years ago. There were five people, and they challenged the ordeal of force.
– I don’t know how it is in this era, but the great Cabolissa was the greatest sage of her day…
I quickly tired of his nonstop chatter and just kept my mouth shut.
I tried to dig up some information about the ancient times, but there was no useful information I could get from him.
Time passed that way.
I ate the food I had brought little by little and looked at Asher’s condition.
I knew by now what she was going through in the illusion that she’s experiencing.
It would be painful, but in the end, in order to grow, she had no choice but to face and overcome everything.
