Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 626 - 316: Mutated Prefix, Dragon Knight of the Divine Kingdom Border_2
He pondered for a while, but eventually shook his head.
"So you want me to work for nothing, huh? That’s pure wishful thinking!"
[...]
[Your consciousness starts to return...]
[The salty scent of the seawind wafts to your face, the sound of the tidal swells bouncing in your ears.]
[You slowly open your eyes to see a sky full of thick clouds, the pale grey light sprinkling onto the earth and lighting up the beach beneath you.]
"Hmm? I can move now!"
The game text, after being stuck in a ’dark screen’ state for over tens of minutes, starts to move again.
[Your body is smeared with a layer of disgusting sticky slime, the smell of which is extremely strong.]
[You get up quickly, cleaning off the sticky slime covering your fat body.]
[After busying yourself for quite sometime cleaning the slime, you scan your surroundings to check the situation...]
[You are on a deserted beach, at your feet lie several chunks of decaying meat larger than your shell.]
[Those chunks of meat look familiar, seeming to be residues from the giant sea monster’s squirming mouthparts.]
[You realize that the giant sea monster before was not attempting to eat you, but rather transport you to a specific place.]
[Looking out at the sea, the amber waters are as you saw them before, waves rolling high and low. All evidence of the ’mutated ancient broad-winged trilobite’, however, is nowhere to be found.]
[Looking back at the land you stand on, across the beach, over the barren earth...]
[At the end of your gaze, a majestic mountain range heaves and dips between the earth’s edges, a gorge vaguely discernible in the mountains to the north seems to cut through the range.]
[You recall the mythical tales annotated in the abbey...]
[The tall ’Galatians Mountain Range’ was said to bifurcate the Divine Kingdom’s boundary, crossing a gorge known as the ’Final Feathered Point’ or ’Audience Valley’ lead to the true ’Wet Nurse’s’ Divine Kingdom!]
[Everything before your eyes aligns perfectly with the myths, you are finally at the border of the Divine Kingdom, once you crossover the valley, you can achieve your lifelong wish!]
[Strangely enough, you don’t feel even the slightest bit of excitement, your once aspired ’Wet Nurse’s’ Divine Kingdom seems rather ordinary.]
[Even more so, you feel a nauseating revulsion, as if the distant place is not the pristine Divine Kingdom, but rather a filthy cesspool...]
[Would you like to proceed in the direction of ’Audience Valley’?]
"So, reaching the Divine Kingdom is this simple..."
If you don’t have the ability to fly, binding your soul to the shell gifted by the game and then jumping into the ’Sea of Corruption’ would highly likely get you to the ’Desire Wet Nurse’s’ Divine Kingdom. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Lin Xun switched to the Star Lord Canis shell, flying on swords to traverse the path.
It took more than ten minutes of flying to get close to ’Audience Valley’.
Star Lord Canis’s sword flight is the fastest way to travel, apart from the significant True Element consumption, there are no other downsides.
Typically, sword flight does not come with a height limit, only a True Element restriction, the higher you fly, the faster the True Element expenditure.
In this Chapter, for unknown reasons, the game set a ’height limit’, which keeps you from getting further than ten to nearly twenty meters from the ground, the player is hindered by a mysterious large force.
Lin Xun suspected that this restriction had something to do with the Chapter background, but he didn’t have enough information yet to form a full picture.
[...]
[With the high-speed sword flight, you’re nearing ’Audience Valley’...]
[Only when you approach ’Audience Valley’ can you clearly perceive how towering the ’Galatians Mountain Range’ actually is, when you look up from the base of the mountain, you can’t see where it reaches its peak.]
[No wonder the ’Galatians Mountain Range’ has become a divine mountain guarding the Divine Kingdom’s border.]
[Nevertheless, as you get closer to ’Audience Valley’, you discover that the Divine Kingdom border seems to have multiple towering mountain ranges acting as guardians...]
[You carefully descend to the ground.]
[Not too far away at the entrance of the valley, between two towering cliffs, a huge shadow reclines, seemingly in slumber.]
[You slowly approach the valley, getting a clear view of that huge shadow...]
[It’s a gigantic human-shaped creature, leaning against a cliff wall in sleep, its body covered in pale white armour, a large horn protrudes from its head, and strong limbs are covered with barbs...]
[You notice, it’s wearing a pale mask, concealing its true features and preventing you from seeing the creature’s face.]
[A large cape wraps around its gigantic, statue-like torso. Even while asleep, it holds a scorpion needle, shaped like a lance within its arms.]
[That stinger needle, as long as a flagpole and as thick as a large column, is extraordinarily sharp at the tip, and quite clearly a huge lethal weapon!]
[You have encountered the ’Feathered Divine Kingdom Border Dragon Knight’!]
Lin Xun pressed his lips together, unable to resist commenting out loud.
"Damn it, game, you’re seriously calling this a Dragon Knight?"
[Apostle of the Divine Kingdom’s border, what will you do?]
[1. While the ’Border Dragon Knight’ is still asleep, make a talisman with your sword and unleash your strongest attack ’Big Dipper Sky Rule Sword True Knowledge’ to send him to heaven.]
[2. Switch to the ’Feathered Abbey Dean’ shell, wake up the ’Border Dragon Knight’, tell him that the devout child has come to make a pilgrimage and request passage to the ’Wet Nurse’s’ Divine Kingdom.]
[3. Keep your ’Mutated Abbey Monk’ shell, do not disturb the ’Border Dragon Knight’, sneak through ’Audience Valley’ to reach the filthy and disgusting ’Villainous State’.]
As usual, the first choice is very likely a death trap.
The correct choices are among the second and third options.
