Chapter 37: The editor

Oh, your back again? I see that youre enjoying yourself watching this author died in every way possible… Okay, I’m in a good mood so let’s get this over with. I’ve made some progress in finding the trangsmigrator that’s responsible for all of this

[Quick create a wall!!! You can’t dodge that attack, it’s force is beyond that of you’re current vessel]

A few seconds were left before he was about to meet his end. Christoper Morris created a wall of stone and blocked the shockwave from ever reaching his body. Though it wasn’t able to completely block most his attempts reduced the force and he was sent flying into the air

‘Hi so glad you made it, I’m currently flying did I learn to fly? Not exactly you see I got punched through the face, it’s not as bad as you think it is. My whole life I got a daily routine of someone whacking me and I built resistance. But you know, even after all of that beating it hurts as hell, and they say it only hurts for the first time. You know what forget that last thing I said, I think that wasn’t related to getting hit,’

[Get up quickly he’s almost at your location]

“I’m amazed for such an ant like you could handle 50% of my power. If this wasn’t an order I wouldn’t have kept you alive. I was thinking of turning you into my latest experiment. But killing you right now isn’t that fun, what the thrill if I can’t even feel a little bit pressured am I correct?” Seper drives his fist toward Morris’s body and the whole stoned fortress tremble at his attack

“Is this some sort of trick?” Before Seper could respond the stones around him locked onto his body and temporarily sealed his movements. Above him was the same individual he struck not line ago. Alive and well he couldn’t believe what he was seeing before his very eyes

That’s when he realizes the dispersion of mana in the location where he thought he dealt the final blow. It was empty until he sees a shadowy figure that came on his back revealing another mind-breaking mystery. It was Morris? How was that possible? Seper was clueless and he couldn’t move from his position

“The spell which creates a perfect copy of the player I call upon a mirage. I asked you to mimic the exact movement of the caster itself. Mana circulation, Singular flow overclocked!!!” Alongside his copy, the two of them circulated a ton of mana into their hand which increases its power. With the demonstration of Morris, his copy quickly resolves its next move. Once their movement was synchronized their fists collided with Sepers face

It sends their target by their powerful blow through the ground where he was forced regenrate his wound. He didn’t waste any time for an opening to be wasted and he launched his stone warriors to strike Seper’s defenseless back. Their spears were coated with liquidized feijin flowers and slowly stopped his enemies s regenerative abilities. While the stone warriors kept thrusting their spears until he broke through Morris’s trap. He destroyed anything that was doused with his weakness and with a scream it sends the nearby rocks to break

[Direct message to Fanatic ranger

[Fanatic ranger: Morris nim Persevis agreed with your alliance, I hope you’ll read this message when you are free

Five days ago]

Benevolent sage: Hey Hyunsu sorry for the late reply can you answer your dms now?

Fanatic ranger: Morris nim you have terrible timing! I’m trying to survive the mad alchemist’s onslaught

Benevolent sage: Th that’s funny my clones are currently fighting one of the mini-bosses. If you’re that cranky should I release this guy and sent it to the workshop?

Fanatic ranger: No… No way that’s overkill we’ll die just keep it to yourself

Benevolent sage: Relax I got this under control. The little prick can’t even tell if he’s fighting is the real me~grhrjrmekrkendk

Fanatic ranger: Ugh can you type that again? I didn’t understand what your trying to say

Benevolent sage: Catch you later Hyunsu the mini-boss found my location. Also, be careful I think that the transmigrater is related to the mad alchemist. Last but not least I think famine fever’s last boss is there so good luck

Fanatic ranger: The mad alchemist is here!!!]

[System: The Direct message has ended]

“I wonder if this one is the real copy?” Seper transformed into a hideous form while Morris saw the ruins he created. In his palm was his immobilized copy with their limbs torn apart and one of them had their eyes pierced. One had its head disfigured the other one has lose its body and was but a head connected to its spinal cord

‘Three horns on the head arms that have the same size as a Grizzly Bear, and legs that are faster than a Hunter-type monster. A body that’s flexible enough to counter any attacks head-on. Its body is the personification of a demon, fuck! He’s the 8th stage mini-boss Devilous seperious chimeric,’

[System: The character Seper Alinea has activated 75% of his transformation. He will now acquire a form that unlocks the abilities of the monster he’s fused with]

‘He’s standing on his feet? In the story, he’s already a monster that has no control over his mutation. He walks on all four, there’s no way he could stabilize this kind of power by himself. Don’t tell me that the alchemist, that bastard he messed with the first trial to this extent? I need to find the thing that’s maintaining his condition, I’ll try to keep myself alive, this guy ain’t giving me a ton of time to get something done,’

“It’s about time we Bury you to the ground,” Seper lunges forward to Morris overwhelming him with his newly gained strength while he continues to throw some punches at him that shook the entire fortress without a sweat

“Haste,” Morris increased his movement whilst they move to another area after they completely wrecked the fortress. He used his control over the fortress to his advantage which gave him the ability to manipulate everything inside the fortress. He constructed anything that covered his shortcomings while he slowly chips away Seper’s health

[System: You’ve activated the effect of your weapon [Raven’s devouring] is now in effect!!!

[Raven’a devouring]: Your daggers will now deal extra damage from hitting an injured part by 20%]

“Mana circulation, Dual flow,” He circulated a ton of his mana throughout his feet that supercharges his speed. Most of his attacks were getting parried by the claws of his enemy. The fast movement of Seper’s claw broke his momentum and it causes him to launch all of his structures to attack

“This is nothing but child’s play” The shrparness of his claws wasn’t just for show and he demonstrates its fullest potential. While the claws were still active, he didn’t receive a single scratch and Morris backed away from entering a closer quarter brawl. His current physique was near its breaking point and most of his body was broken and some were screaming to die

[System: The character Seper Alinea has activated the skill [Pursuit]: For the next 3 minutes Seper will gain a burst of movement speed. Until the target has been eliminated the speed he’ll gain will continually grow. The player Christopher Morris has been branded as the target of Pursuit]

‘You gotta be kidding me? Haste is barely making me see his movement and now this… How much does this freaking world hate me? I just wrote a story. A story what’s bad about that, I can’t even catch a single break,’

[This is a bad time to tell you this… The item you’re buying at the shop is having some difficulties. You’ll have to~]

“Just spill it… What’s the problem? Im already having my hands full on anticipating this guy’s next move… Holy shit that was a close one,” He dodges another attack on Seper’s increasingly difficult pattern

It was getting on his nerves without a single thing to counter his ever-growing speed. He resorts to counter by creating two copies which made their very own mirage until they fill the entire room. Their numbers were enough for his next plan and with their similar aura it was hard to discern the original from the copy

“I’m sick of your silly tricks graaaah,” Seper howled at the top of his lungs and utilizes the abilities he gained through his transformation. He intends to kill all of the copies with a single howl, but the entire terrain shake, and this time it wasn’t his own doing.

[System: You’ve reached the limit of mirages you can only create 20]

“All of you pin him down,” He cast another Earth array after he ordered every copy of him to attack his enemy. With their access to his abilities, they weren’t easily defeated and they simultaneously stall some time for the original. He manipulate the stones around him and it continuously drained him of his stamina as he proceeded

‘Come on Morris this isn’t the time, you need to do your best… We’re gonna die if you don’t, just push through god damn it!!! Ignore the pain!!! Channel the remaining mana, ughhhhh!!!!!’

After forcing his body to its breaking point Morris didn’t stop until he was convinced that with his plans, Seper will be contained. He was about to be interrupted by an attack that came from Seper’s location but it was stopped. his hidden copy manages to construct an impregnable wall in time. He continued with his plan and he channels a ton of mana into the ground and the whole terrain began to shake

Meanwhile at the surface

‘What in the hell is he doing? I just took my eyes off of him just from the start of the trials and now he’s doing something crazy? Sigh, I guess I can’t expect anything else from a lunatic like him. It’s time for my debut plus I need to pay him back for hitting me with a fucking lamp,’

An unknown player plunged into the hole where the stone fortress was previously located. Morris dragged it down to the ground as a means of sealing his enemy

“God, im drained from all of this… Thanks for the help fake me,” He said to his mirage who gave him the mana left inside its fleeting body while it nodded to his gratitude

[You’re certainly quirky. To think you’ll try and make a conversation with yourself]

“Can’t you even tell me the situation before you start with your nagging?” Before he could even hear or be warned of an attackz his left hand was severed. He scream with his all before he collected his thoughts and wrapped some of his cloth and forms a temporary bandage

“My arm!? My fucking arm!!! It hurts! Holy shit how can someone else be so calm in this kind of situation!!? This fucking hurts well at least it’s not my right arm~ Arrrgh, glad to see you’re alive and well you prick,” Morris had his neck choked up by none other than Seper that took a completely different form

“To think that you survived to the point where I have to use one of the artifacts that my master gave me. It was fun while it lasted any last words? That’s the best thing I’ll ever give you since you’ve managed to entertain me,” Seper loosened his grip on his neck and gave him one final word before he kills him

“I just want to say that… I will never gonna give you up… Never gonna let you down~ Arrrgh hahaha worth it,” He fooled Seper without him knowing what he just did while he closed his eyes and accepted his death

[I don’t understand… Why is it funny?]

‘Welp I did my best it looks like I can’t avoid my death. God this is going to be a tough one I rather have my heart pierced or fall to my death. Seriously choking? That’s the slowest kind of death you could bring to a person, well beggars can’t be choosers… I guess this is my third death, let’s get this over with,’

After he blurted out his last words, Seper didn’t waste any time, and soon after he puts some pressure on his neck. He slowly loses his breath and he sees Seper grinning at his pitiful state. His expression mocks him while he tortured him with a slow and painful death but he never expected this to happen

“Looks like I’m not that late!!!” His act of torture gave enough time for the mysterious figure to make its entrance. The stones that make about the ceiling were broken and a hooded figure crashes down in their location

The mysterious player pulled out a gigantic hammer from its magical bag and swung it toward Seper. It knocks him to the ceiling and Morris was released, not long before that, he came to be in shock

“Jin is that you?” When he saw the figure’s face he could only spoke of a name

“I can’t let you die yet… A prick like you owes me a lot, let’s start with me hitting your head with a fucking lamp. But that’ll have to wait once we get out of here,” The player said while he reached out his hand
