Chapter 47: Dangers All Around

“Alright, Rock, Leon, and Jet, from now on you three will be the leaders of your respective armies.”

Neil said, pointing at the two new troops and one of the vultures.

He dismissed the two, since the domain was too crowded and had little free space, so Rock could not move around freely.

Bob and the others talked with the two, giving them a rough idea about the domain, their lord, and the surroundings.

After most of the Frost Bears had passed, Neil continued, as the domain sped up again.

“Master, I think those guys could be trusted.

They have maintained a connection with the outside, even exchanging food and other necessities.” Nemo said.

“Alright, then we have to reach there as soon as possible.”

…

TUTUTUTUTUTU

They had only moved a kilometre or so when suddenly the bell rang with level two danger.

A link had opened not too far away, and countless bugs, each the size of a crow, flew around in a group.

Wherever they passed, the surroundings darkened.

Neil frowned upon hearing about them. That was dangerous, if they got surrounded, escape would be difficult.

“Let’s keep going and hope they don’t notice us.” He announced, stopping the vultures from going out.

Neil stood near the door with Leon, as they solemnly observed the surroundings for any sign of danger.

The bell kept ringing, making Neil feel uneasy.

The closer they got to the survivors, the danger was growing rapidly.

“Be prepared for battle, don’t leave the domain.” Neil warned, pulling out the elemental bow.

Magnar was also ready.

He almost died in the previous encounter.

After nearly ten tense minutes, the domain was suddenly engulfed by darkness. Neil had stopped the domain.

He hoped they wouldn’t get noticed.

CHI CHI CHI CHI

Strange loud chirping noises suddenly filled the sky, as the endless insects moved around randomly.

’There are so many of them, and there are even many at the 2nd Origin!!’ Neil’s heart beat rose rapidly.

His strength had grown, but what could he even do if he got surrounded.

Looking at their tiny sharp teeth, everyone shivered in the domain.

『

[Name]: Zurb

[Rank]: 1st Origin Silver Class

[Description]: A creature who flies slowly, but possesses excellent tearing strength. They are weak to sonic attacks and have high defenses.

』

Neil read the info about them, the last part made him frown. They possessed high defense.

Since the domain was covered by snow, none of the Zurbs noticed it, flying away.

“Haa that was close.” Neil heaved a sigh of relief as the big bugs disappeared.

“Let’s continue, we can’t stay out here for too long.”

The domain had just started moving and a couple minutes later, the bell started to ring again.

“Fuck, what is it now?” He cursed, slowing down the domain.

But he relaxed upon seeing the threat was only level one.

“Looks like we are going on a hunt.” Neil smiled, increasing the speed.

They continued for a while and soon noticed a small group of Frost Bears, but for some reason Neil could hear alarm in his mind upon looking at them.

’Could the bell be malfunctioning?’ he frowned, and decided to trust his gut.

“Lord, are we fighting?” Leon asked, ready with his bow.

“…No, we will keep moving.” Neil refused and continued ahead.

Just after a minute had passed by, the scene changed and a large horde of Phaged was revealed.

They were devouring a group of Frost Bears, the whole scene was covered by an illusion.

Neil, unaware of the danger he had just escaped, continued forward at full speed.

TUTUTUTUTU

“FUCK! I want to break this wretched bell, what is it now?” Neil cursed, feeling frustrated.

It was again a danger of level one, and soon they came across a link with over a hundred creatures.

All of them looked like snails, appearing slow and weak.

“Oh well, it seems this one isn’t too bad.” Neil mumbled, he had stopped the domain already.

“Leon, try killing one.” He ordered, wondering if his loot stealth would work even if his subjects were the ones who killed.

“Yes Lord.” The elf nodded, and instantly pulled the string.

WHOOSH

The arrow flew soundlessly and in an instant made the head of the snail explode.

Then the arrow flew back into Leon’s quiver.

[You have killed a 1st Origin Silver Class Phaged.]

[You have acquired the loot.]

Instantly the loot arrived in his inventory, the place he had designated himself.

“Nice, it works!!” he exclaimed, then ordered: “Kill them all.”

WHOOSH WHOOSH

Leon’s hand moved extremely quickly as he shot dozens of arrows in a second, appearing focused.

“Rock, you start clearing them from the other side too.” He ordered.

And the giant walked out of the domain, stomping over the snails and crushing them along with their big shells.

Rock’s moving speed wasn’t too fast, but his strength and defense were top notch.

While watching the one sided slaughter, one of the messages pulled his attention.

[You have killed a 1st Origin Gold Class Phaged.]

“Finally! Rock, throw that Phaged back here.” He spoke hurriedly. Rock complied, picked the snail and threw it inside the domain before continuing.

“…” Neil took a little blood before rushing back into the Nest and dropping it.

[Blood of a Gold Class Phaged detected!]

[Would you like to start the process of creation of a Diamond Class beast?]

“Yes!” Neil said, and then left the place.

Sadly, it would take a week, if only he could get enough Shards.

After walking out, he found that both Rock and Leon were done.

“Good job, let’s continue.” Neil said, leaving behind the corpses. The loot was already collected.

Walking towards the campfire, he took out the loot and calculated.

“Seventy two Bronze, forty one Silver, and one Gold Class, well this was not bad.”

He said as he collected the shards and began to drink the gene potions.

Neil had already stored the corpse of the Gold Class snail away.

Feeling the increase in his strength, he gazed at his status after giving some to Magnar.

[Shards: 9,060]

『

(Bronze): 700/1000

(Silver): 110/500

(Gold): 6/100

(Diamond): 2/5

(Mythic): 2/2

』

“Over nine thousand shards, I can purchase another troop. Hmm should I choose the Giant or Elf?” he pondered, then decided.

[You have purchased an Elven Archer.]

[Used 5,500 shards.]

[Shards: 3,560]

And soon he would have two mythic class elven archers. He glanced back and saw the two builders working on the prison.

The domain continued to move at full speed.

With the ringing bell and the vulture’s help, Neil successfully dodged many dangers.

The few groups he encountered were too powerful for him to attack, so he breezed past them.

They also took short breaks.

Another elf archer joined under Leon in this time and the prison was ready, but Neil decided to check it out later.

He was feeling sleepy again. Thankfully, now there was Ileana to take care of him and she was doing a great job.

Even after travelling for so long, that silhouette of the castle or mountain didn’t clear up.

It just seemed to be moving further away.

The large bars were certainly getting closer, giving a feeling of foreboding.

But finally, after the long and dangerous travel, the vulture reported seeing the humans.

They had arrived at their destination.
