125 – Karma

Chapter 4. A screening test for aspiring warriors.

It is an event theme based on the concept of survival and adventure on the island, but there is no way it will pass peacefully after all.

Due to the trolling of Kaeran Heath and Macleed Heisman, the chairperson of the Assistant Magic Department, the demon’s magic stone was activated.

This serves as the devil’s portal and becomes the land of hell.

It can be said that it is from this chapter that Kaeran can copy and handle the power of the demons, and that Crowpay properly twists the line toward the demons.

Of course, just looking at this…

You may think that the story after that is completely eaten by the demons, but that is not the case again.

In Chapter 5, after this story, a powerful ally… This is because Saint Psyche, a former war hero, is entering the academy.

First of all, she is a former war hero and is officially missing…

She has a setting that she was newly reincarnated with divine power.

Therefore, the story is that she joined Clarisse while hiding her identity in order to keep Yellow D in check.

Even though Selena, Yeriel, and Arya fell out of Kaeran’s eyes…

The reason I was able to stay safe was thanks to her.

In other words, in this world that has been power-inflated on such an infernal difficulty…

This chapter 4 can be said to be the last notice of the crisis that befalls my favorite heroines.

After that, only Kaeran’s one-man show will come out and Psyche will protect them.

But in the current situation, since even Darian handed over his power to me.

Marcosias will definitely come after me.

This is an inevitable situation even because of Kaeran.

I don’t want to put my favorite heroines in danger.

So, if I use the method I have in mind, I won’t be out of luck…

Assuming the worst case scenario,

I may not be in this world.

.

.

.

Time passed quickly and it was the day of the screening test.

Since there is no portal to the magic tower that goes directly to Mystic Island, we moved to a nearby magic tower and then boarded a boat.

I opened the status window and checked the skills passed down from Darian once more.

– Belt ring.

——————————————————

▶[Blessing of the Black Fairy, Darian]

: Increases the maximum wind energy of Wind Archery by 200.

If the target can handle black magic, all stats increase by 0.5 To 1.0.

(*If you do not have the wind archery skill, one random stat increases by 1.0)

——————————————————

▶[Type 4 Wind Goose] (Active) (Normal Skill)

: Judo(誘導)- Wind is not to calculate, but to overcome.

When using wind archery, additional wind energy is consumed to give an additional effect that unconditionally hits. (On-off technology)

[*Due to the contract with Ariel, the consumption of wind energy is reduced and the damage is dramatically increased]

——————————————————

▶[Snipe] (Normal Attribute)

: Accuracy is fixed at 100% when shooting a shooter type attack. The critical hit rate and damage that occur when an attack hits are increased in proportion to the user’s agility. Increases the distance and field of view at which a character with the attribute can recognize an enemy when aiming at a distance, and slightly reduces the chance that the enemy will find himself.

——————————————————

Thanks to Darian’s protection, his status was pumped, and even though he hadn’t cleared Trial 4, he was able to obtain a new wind archery skill.

Here, the final meaning of the 5th expression of wind archery is…

Since it didn’t appear on the live server, it’s probably fulfilling certain conditions or being implemented as a combination technique.

-Kurleung!!!

As if entering another world, the surroundings become darker,

-Oh, dark clouds…? What?

-The atmosphere suddenly changes.

Before long, the ship arrived at a small dock on Mystic Island.

There is a lot of fog around, so you can’t see the whole view of the island from the outside,

The only place where we can be conscious of our location…

The starting point, the beach. Only here

And far away, on a high hill, the Valley of Death, burning red like a volcano, was threatening us.

– Wow, is this real…

-It must have been a village before.

-How do you live here…

-Are you stupid? So everyone evacuated.

The cadets disembarked one by one in order, and Lily, who had been watching them, approached me with her hand on her side.

“Lev, today, no, something strange these days… “

“…What?”

“Lily Suspicious Ship, detected. These days, Rev feels different from usual.”

“… No way. Good luck today. Isn’t Lily a big power in our party?”

“Wow! Just trust me!”

I thought as I stroked Lily’s cone.

‘It looks obvious.’

I don’t know how the past few days have gone.

No words were exchanged between me and Arya.

Observing this, Yeriel must have felt that it was not a light quarrel between us, so she was silently considerate.

-Today’s meal preparation is Lev… !

-Uh, okay.

-… Thank you for your hard work.

Communicating with minimal conversations and focusing on individual training… It was test day.

While I was checking the number of people in my party, I started to hear a voice amplified by Instructor Bella’s magical power in front of me.

“Now, I warmly welcome you who have taken the screening test for the aspiring warriors. Skip the cumbersome explanations because you will have heard them until the scabs sit on your ears. We will move immediately to the place where the party joe confirms.”

Bella concluded her explanation by pointing her chin at the depths of the distant island.

“The equipment and items necessary for the adventure will be distributed sequentially from now on. The quantity is ample, so keep the line properly. And when the preparations are over, the center sends a signal with a magic bullet. You can say that the test begins from then on.”

-Juwoong…

The pressure of magic here was already very heavy.

-Ooh… Wow… !

Compared to Pandaemonium, it would be far short of it, but there were already quite a few cadets mixed with seasickness and vomiting.

“Everyone seems to want to go into that forest full of monsters. Do not worry. This time, not only the ghosts of monsters exist, but also real monsters.”

Tension began to seep into everyone’s faces at the terrible explanation.

The hero is… They are warriors who have to fight in a place deeper than the front line.

Of course, this is the stage where talented people who can protect their lives take on the challenge.

After Bella’s explanation and scaring were over,

I looked at Edwin next to me first.

Unlike usual, his face was stiff.

Keeping an eye on the front is shown as not paying attention to Aveline and Melissa as much as possible.

‘You must think a lot too.’

Sadly, Edwin grew stronger every time Kaeran took away his heroine.

So, as I asked… He must have overheard the conversation between Caeran, Melissa, and Aveline.

To prevent a sweet potato situation from being created because of Edwin’s protection and infinite trust like an affair,

Because it was necessary to clearly identify friends and family in advance.

It’s not just alienation, it’s just telling the truth, but I feel sorry for something.

“Are you okay?”

Let me just say something,

“… Uh? Uh! Are you fine… ! Lev, aren’t you really nervous?”

He smiled.

“… Tension… That’s a lot.”

“Eek? Lev you?”

“Uh.”

“Don’t worry… ! What… Trust me?”

Confident, even at a glance, the facial expression is forced.

In this way, the cadets were provided with the supplies needed for camping one by one, and the minimum amount of food and drink,

Now it’s our turn.

“Next! Edwin Gwynzejo!”

“Let’s go, kids!”

“Yes.”

“Just trust Lily… !”

“Yes.”

Starting with Edwin’s lively words, Lily and Yeriel walked towards Bella in turn.

Then the aria in front of me followed her and she stopped for a second.

“…… “

It’s not déjà vu. I remember. It was like this when I first took the screening test.

She turned her head slightly and looked at me.

-……

Unlike then, Arya was looking at me clearly.

A little sad eyes. She feels like asking if she has anything to say to herself.

After I just kept silent, she spoke briefly.

“…… Go.”

Still blue… Blue eyes.

Even if I found out I was involved in her revenge… Shall I show you the color of that clear lake?

‘It won’t be easy.’

The skill obtained after defeating Bune, the fountain of souls, must be used to use Marcosias’ gimmick…

——————————————————

▶[Soul Fountain] [No Lv.] (Passive)

: When receiving fatal damage, resurrects at a designated fountain of magical power.

(*The state after resurrection is determined according to the size of the ‘bowl’ with remnants)

(*The respawn location can only be specified in Pandemonium)

(*Can be used once)

Difficulty to obtain: very hard

——————————————————

There is a big penalty that you can only resurrect in Pandaemonium like the skill of the Great Devil.

Even if I die and resurrect, I have to survive in Pandaemonium…

The chances of returning alive are slim.

In other words, assuming the worst case scenario, as soon as I finished the supporting character quest for Arya’s revenge…

That you may have to use the ‘Game End’ obtained as a reward right away.

Then I will completely break away from this narrative.

Suppose I managed to contain Kaeran and Marcosias and return to the original world.

Unlike the love affairs, Edwin was awakened by the essence of the Black Death Dragon after seeing the actions of Malissa and Aveline.

Selena learned wind archery,

Yeriel grows into the essence of immortality.

Lily went on her straight path as a summoner,

Lastly, Arya… Finishing her revenge on Andras this time… I will wake up

Even if you face the worst situation, you are prepared for the minimum.

‘Rotten water will cry.’

Of course, I don’t want to run away… In such a pitiful way.

I want to be scolded by Yeriel and Aria by taking responsibility until the end like a deceased person.

‘There is only one last variable…’

A reward skill for raising Luck to the maximum level of 5.0.

-Titling!

——————————————————

[Luck (Max)] – [Dice of Destiny]

When rolling a dice to test fate, make sure the number the caster wants comes up.

: When a probability event occurs, you can select the result value (can be used once)

——————————————————

In the final situation… The dice of skill fate that will create the last random variable.

If you use this skill, which can be used once, at the optimal timing, there will be only one route to solve all the bad conditions… Open.

But as a prerequisite for this… Aria is the key.

——————————————————

▶[Supporting Role Quest]

[Main Event ???]

[Mission Object: As a supporting character, you know the answer. Help the healer ‘Aria Bluebell’ avenge]

[Aria Bluebell’s Revenge: Defeat Andras with your own hands]

[Reward: Arya’s Awakening, ‘End Game’ Activated (Upon reaching MAX level of basic gamer traits)

[Remaining time: 81 hours 19 minutes 22 seconds (counting starts when the quest pops up)]

——————————————————

Be sure to complete this quest.

‘The courage to be disliked… Rogun.’

If Aria knew that I would disappear the moment she achieved her revenge…

Can she kill me?

In a nutshell, no.

Because Aria’s feelings for me must be sincere.

– It’s cheap… Squash… !

Waves of dark waves are scattered on the gray sandy beach.

That’s how we listened to the sound of the waves and exchanged only each other’s gaze for a while.
