Chapter 259: Bloody endeavors [1]

Beneath the walls of the holy empire, the body of the Demon King lies hanged where Hugo and his team stand guard. A few were trembling as they waited for the awakening of this monstrous existence others pitty and Hugo indifferent. They never knew why they were ordered to stand guard or the reason they were forbidden from ending his life

[System: Due to the contract you’ve established you’re able to identify and bypass the 3rd trials restriction]

“How long are going to sleep? Everything is a mess, and Hugo… he’s acting all weird. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. It’s been four days why aren’t you doing anything?,” She yelled so loud in that dark restricted room where she trembled in fear of what was to come

“Forget it… I shouldn’t have expected anything from someone like you. I just came here to let you know, that they decided on the date of your execution. You have three days left…”

“Come on get up, show me you didnt act all ballsy and that all you’d said up until now wasn’t a lie. Please even just this time won’t you move and make me eat my own words? I don’t know what im supposed to do, everything spiraled out of control, I don’t even know what happened to Hugo,” In her desperation, she walked closer to his chain and with her finger reaching the surface of his flesh she heard a beep

[System: Link detected! You’ve met the requirement to enter a mental link! The deity known as ’The Forgotten Sage’ forcefully made a connection. Due to the forced connection, the player suffers an irritation in your mind!]

“What the hell? Urghhh… it hurts! Why the hell does it freaking hurt? Make it stop god damn it!!!” Shin Chaerim’s mind was robust her body received a hefty amount of a raging ache in the depths of her noggin

[At last, you decided to make physical contact with Morris! Do you know how frustrating it is to only watch you acting all petty? The nerve to think he chose you, but I kind of see your potential. You haven’t vomited after receiving an intensive amount of pressure]

“Something tells me you ain’t here just for a little chatter eh? Tell me… what do I have to do?” She tries to play it cool even though her entire body trembles and she remains paralyzed lying on the ground

[You don’t have to worry… im not someone who’ll ask someone to go for a suicide mission. My avatar, Christoper Morris is currently stuck within that body, and I meant that in a literal sense]

“Can you stop speaking in riddles? I’m not as wise as your avatar is, im just someone he offered a contract. I can lend a hand but you gotta speak up ya celestial scum!” She tries to muster her strength but in doing so she fails and her body begins to return to the ground

“Looks like she’s the one… she met the description that the owner has spoken of what was it again? Oh, I remember now, arrogance, that’s the word,” Her body was soon relieved of its irritation the moment a luminous sparkle touched her very skin

“Elia, would you mind being less informal?” Shin recovered her strength and before her, she saw three demonic figures with their very own unique aura

[Elia (Sun’s humanoid form)]

“Just call me Sun, that’s just our identity when we’re in this form… it’s not like it holds any value,”

[Amaris (Moon’s humanoid form)]

“Might I remind you these names are given to us solely by our owner? He thought so hard of a name befitting our own. You should be a little more grateful you utter excuse for a cat,”

“Huh…? Say that again! I dare you! I never thought you were asking for a fight, go on. Let’s see how long you’ll have that arrogance. I’m not the slightest bit tamed I may even cut you where you stand,”

As these two bicker and get in each other’s throats they quickly grow silent at the mere glare of a pixy-like silhouette. Shin felt a faint glimmer of light which alleviated her irritation brimming from this tiny yet menacing existence. She carefully moves with no hostility and goes so far as to lower her head and openly show her unguarded neck

“Greetings im the third familiar but im known to be the daughter of the player before us. On second thought you could forget what I said before. The first order in business is to surveil the area, as Father is yet to return we need to thwart the empire’s action,”

The demonic army was fast approaching but the place they were about to venture forth was nowhere near vulnerable. Their first incursion made this kingdom ally itself with the neighboring country for they required the needed defense. But even in his lowest moments, Christoper didn’t ignore this variable, and as the next best option made his familiars guide Shin

Meanwhile in Diabolus’s core

“So any guess how the boss’s abilities work? You seem so prepared back then… I could hardly believe we were fighting the same battle,” She says after reimagining his one-sided massacre after they set foot on the 25th-floor

“Like I said their my fears… Paul Jenkins was one of them. I didn’t think I’d meet him again even in my nightmare,”

“Huh…? JENKINS!!? He’s the guy who almost raped you???”

He takes a sip of his coffee after seeing her over-the-top response. “So he told you that story, didn’t he? Guess there’s no secret between us. You’re correct Paul Jenkins is someone who we thought was a chill guy but was secretly a pervert,”

“I still can’t believe it… if only you weren’t my friend I wouldve laughed so hard right now. You’re saying that fatty overpowered someone like you–”

“Ahem! Can we not forget that I had a defective body? Which prevents bone fortification and muscle production?” Yuri slowly grew silent and after they finished their drink they settled down for a while

“In high school, I wasn’t that tall… my heritage also made me non-hairy so I didn’t have a stache or a beard. Imagine me as a femboy, I was so frail and my voice hadn’t fully developed,”

“Okay… stop right there my friend. Just because your height is below doesn’t make it a good point–”

“Paul was a Fate fan… he says my squeaky voice reminds him of a pink paladin. You know Astolf–”

“Noted! Can we move on to how you predicted his abilities? I don’t wanna hear anymore. It’s getting super weird the more you add the graphic details…” She scooted over and patted his back after he imagined that traumatic experience

“His ability was based on my perception… my point of view of Paul became a tub of fat with a long pair of arms. I’m glad his arms were greasy that day if not I would’ve been backshot by a guy,”

“Seriously? Why do you have to be so… graphic? Now I can’t stop thinking about it, it’s fuckings gross Morris! How could you!”

“Good! It’s great im not the only one suffering. Share the pain right? That’s what friends are for and so on,” He chuckles while simultaneously polishing his guns and restocking his bag

“That’s a huge load you got there,” It wasn’t even a joke compared to the 25th-floor his suitcase was filled to the bring with a variety of trinkets

“We need to be careful, I know this… every time I went to school before I met Jin this was my least favorite. The dining hall. This is where I meet my bully,”

Knives are wrapped in a cloth before he shoves it in his pocket, a riot shield in his left and teargas near his reach. This fight wasn’t something that he could easily beat and as he remember in his days on earth he prepared even more. His baggage overflowed yet he didn’t care and once they were ready the doors opened leading them to the cafeteria

“Why aren’t you calling Diabolus?” She whispered and they moved quietly in the terrain where dozens of tables and chairs were stacked like hill

He takes a bottle of oil from his bag and gently opens the lid. “Timing is everything, if I were the old Morris I’d envision him to be strong– Watch out!!!”

He kicked her out of the way before a large figure crashed through the very spot where they once stood. Amidst the chaos, he manages to with nothing more than a graze from the flying rubble created by the boss’s surprise attack. The smoke around their foe gave them enough time to prepare for a counter but he threw the bottle and caught its attention

[System: The aggression you displayed caused the boss to be taunted!]

“Hey, fucker im over here!” He stands before towering foe ten feet tall stacked and with the body on par with a gorilla

[Nightmare Boss: Laurence Pike

Fear: Bully

Attribute: Juggernaut

Fighting style: Unarmed combat

Weak points: None]

“What’s this now? You’re talking back to me? Why this isn’t good… toys don’t talk, but they do squeak. Come over here!” His sudden movement caused him to slip from the oil Morris had applied and lose his balance

“Headshot,” He fired at point-blank range and quickly ran after dealing a massive amount of damage

“Did you kill him– Whoa!” In his escape, he tugged her by the shoulder, and she quickly matched his speed

“We need to run… there’s no chance of winning if we confront him directly. The best thing we can do is set a trap to get some hits in,” He threw his very first teargas on their back and the two quickly hid from the chair after successfully damaging the boss
