Chapter 219: Turning point

The monster invasion wasn’t that bad, we won and most of the soldiers got some experience in the process. But that wasn’t something that put a smile on my face, I’ve found a way out of this dump. A way to leave, why am I thinking about this? Yurabel, that name is one of the players that’ll be one of the worst opponents for my role

’Airis was the real MVP of this mission, her vampiric traits allowed her to gain power in the invasion. A blood moon occurred and her powers increased and she manages to call forth 40% of her spawns. Apart from that Kyo min soo was incredible in his oversight of our match. I guess he could be useful when he’s not a cheeky brat, but I can’t blame him, he’s still a kid, as for the resources,’

“Here you go, this is our daily harvest. My knowledge of demonic plants is getting better than ever. We’ve managed to find some seeds which safely corrupt the like to grow other kinds of vegetables. I’ve safely conducted my research and the amount of corruption is stable in that it doesn’t destroy our only water supply. But I’ve never thought I’d discover this, it’s better if you see it yourselves,” He left the meeting room where every one of their members including Airis waited for the results of his work

They heard a rough and irritating noise that came in the form of dragging a large and fragile canister. The five of them were shocked after they felt a surge of demonic power imbued in the container. The water they saw turned bright red and its fragrance was attractive for the nose of any type of demon

“Allow me to present the water from the lake, just as I predicted Mr. Morris’s role is quite fascinating. When he took ownership of the land and when I entered I always feel his presence. I tried corrupting water away from the reach of the lake and the result was a sickening taste and toxicity I couldn’t swallow. Because of this, I’ve finally understood a crucial factor, we need to conquer more land to reap the benefits,” Everything he talked about made absolute sense, and the others didn’t question his conclusion

The great organ tree in the vicinity of their territory wasn’t affected by the withering that constantly kills everything in its path. The soil beneath the tree was said to be fertile and even if they were replaced by dead soil it’ll soon be converted. However, this change was a mystery and it only arrived when they succeeded in their mission

’That’s amazing, don’t tell me is this about the hidden lore? That’s the only thing I could think of being the cause?’

[Hidden lore: The loss of the Six princes of hell was the day when the demons could no longer retreat to hell. Instead, they were bound to the lands they conquered, and the demons were forever sealed when the 2nd incarnation perished in defeat. The Demon King was an existence that was able to bestow gifts and prosperity to his kin as the princes have done]

[System: Hidden lore has been discovered!!!

Outcome: You’ve gained access to another passive of your current role!!!

(Passive) [Demonic resistance]: Too much demonic energy is bad for those who aren’t able to wield as their body permits. The Demon King grants his followers and the land he conquers resistance to the naturally flowing energy. This was one of the powers of the seven princes when they were to unite their power as one. Instead of instability to gain power, they protect their kin as much as their well-being]

“Thanks for that report, but before we can get to conquering the other territory in the demonic realm. I need to surveil our surroundings, I’ve just found out that a hero was able to pass through the seal. A peculiar and unimaginable occurrence, but there was something we didn’t know. This seal only keeps anything that possesses demonic energy at bay. Those that didn’t have this divinity can freely enter and exit as they please,” This was news to them even to Lucifer who thought it was impossible to escape

The appearance of a hero in the earlier stages of the trial gave a shocking revelation and the end of their lives. Heroes who they see as their counterparts possess the power to go up against their divinities. What’s worse is the fact that it was Yurabel, also known as Song Hye Ri a character who’s fated to be a villain in his book. A player who possesses the power to summon countless powerful monsters originating from heaven, hell, and the world itself

“What the hell! We’re sitting ducks at this rate, they can invade us at any given time. What can we possibly do to retaliate with something like that?” Even his friend was frustrated by just the thought of learning about their disadvantage

But when he saw that Morris still had that menacing grin on his face, his worries were extinguished. Their dilemma was nothing bad but a way for them to gain profit as they pleased and one of the things he planned was about to occur. He gets up and orders Blake to go back and he takes the board and wrote their next plan

[Market of Darkness: Youre preordered abilities price has been lowered by your coupon

Omnipresence: 2,500 Evil points

Outcome: You’ve purchased the preordered skill, now that it’s been settled you’ll be returned to the normal shop]

In his palms was the skill scroll which would’ve been useless if it weren’t for his connections with Silvia. A skill that could only be worth using in the end game and has no such use in the earlier stages of the longest-running trial. Nevertheless, he found a loophole that covers its requirements, and he wrote their next plan of action

“What I have in my hand is the skill of Omnipresence, to summarize as long as there’s darkness I can be anywhere. I’ll gain a state of leaping from one demon to another, this means that I’ve found an earlier version of teleportation. Yes, Kyo min soo what are your concerns,” He stopped midway in his explanation when he sees he was the only one who was interested in his plans

“Not to be a party pooper or anything, but boss are you sure it’s going to work? As you said our nation is in dire need of protection if there’s the appearance of one of the legendary heroes. What can we even do if we can escape this dump, won’t there be any more powerful monsters?” It was normal for anyone to doubt his plans but because his calls were right none even tried and question his plans

Kyo min soo and a few others that aren’t present are always questioning his motives and the reason for his actions. Even though they can’t win against his judgment they want a good enough reason if they were to go with his plans. Most of the time they blindly follow his lead, but when it’s about a crucial part that may affect everyone they’ll question his motives

“Good point but im not asking any of you to join me, and I’m not using this to neglect the management of the territory. Soon after Silvia’s tribesmen were converted to fiends, I’ll use their bodies as a target for omnipresence to leap to the outside world. The monsters there are weaker than the demonic realm, but they pose a great sense of balance in their environment. If one of them gets corrupted, who knows they might start a commotion and infect the other monsters in sight,” True to his statement the demonic monsters were the embodiment of rage and whatnot

No sense of mercy and the very face of what a being would act if their demonic energy is more than what their body could carry. If the outside world were to face this unusual occurrence in the earlier days of the trial wouldn’t it be an unpassable option? Spreading chaos alike was the main role of the demons and if they do so they’ll easily accumulate more than what they’ll give
