Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 682 - 341: The Girl Flandre_1

[Led by the guards, you make your way to the third floor of the castle’s main building, stepping into the living quarters of the castle’s master...]

[A tall, thin figure stands by the window, back turned and draped tightly from head to toe in a cloak.]

[As ’Nightmare Yuri’ turns, his pallid mask conceals his face. You can’t read his expression, but the bewilderment in his eyes is unmistakable.]

[’Nightmare Yuri’ waves the guard leader away and gestures for you to present the ’Sacrificial Badge’.]

[Will you hand over the ’Sacrificial Badge’ to ’Nightmare Yuri’?]

[You have given the ’Sacrificial Badge’ (special item) to ’Feathered Shadowdancer Nightmare Yuri’!]

[A hoarse voice emanates from behind the pale mask...]

[Since you have successfully passed his test, as per your agreement, you will now serve as a servant to ’Nightmare Yuri’.]

[As your master, he requires you to confess how exactly you managed to cross the storm, enter the ’Emerald Sacrificial Ground’ under the attack of the ’Pilgrimage Angel’, and obtain the ’Sacrificial Badge’.]

[How will you respond?]

[1. Retort ’Nightmare Yuri’, and respond with your bone hammer.]

[2. Be vague, implying that you found the ’Sacrificial Badge’ in the snow as soon as you arrived in Zhongsi City.]

[3. Be honest, stating that you were able to retrieve the ’Sacrificial Badge’ by ignoring the ’White Fleece Snow Season’ and relying on your strength.]

With his goal realized, as soon as Nightmare Yuri acquired the Sacrificial Badge, the sacrifice should begin.

Tired of pretending, Lin Xun directly chose the first option.

[With a roar, you swing your ’Bone Hammer’, and your brawny body charges like a heavily armed siege car towards the tall, thin figure!]

[The soft mushroom carpet under your feet shatters, spurting dark purple juice.]

[Your explosive power gets you to your enemy in an instant. The heavy hammer, covered in bone spikes, slams down, creating a piercing shriek and whipping up gusts of wind that rip through your cloak.]

[’Nightmare Yuri’ stares at you with icy murderous intent. His lean figure sidesteps with a speed so fast it leaves a phantom at its original place.]

[Your hammer smashes the phantom and continues slamming into the ground.]

[With a thunderous crash, the ground crumbles and your violent attack creates a large hole, revealing the room beneath.]

[’Nightmare Yuri’ leaps high into the air, jumping over your head, and lands gently behind you.]

[Two streams of blood begin to seep from your head. Unbeknownst to you, a short dagger had been plunged deep into your skull, leaving just the hilt protruding.]

[Turning to attack again, you feel your blood running in reverse, pooling towards the dagger in your skull.]

[You fall heavily to the ground, incapable of mustering any more strength.]

[As you lay dying, the hoarse voice rings out once again...]

[How did such a puny creature manage to obtain the ’Sacrificial Badge’?]

[...]

[You are dead!]

[...]

[Your powerful wandering soul is rebirthed in a sac filled with viscous fluid...]

"Nightmare Yuri’s strength is at least equal to that of a master ninja, maybe even stronger..."

Lin Xun mused while stroking his chin.

He switched to his steward’s shell and headed again for ’Belatu’s Mansion’.

[...]

[You jog towards the castle’s main building. By the time you reach the master’s living quarters, guards have already surrounded the area.]

[’Nightmare Yuri’, annoyed at your tardiness, scolds you, and then orders you to restore his living quarters...]

[...]

[Once the guards disperse, ’Nightmare Yuri’ leans towards you and whispers instructions. He intends to perform the sacrificial ceremony in the dungeon and wants you to guard the entrance, refusing entry to anyone!]

[You nod earnestly and follow ’Nightmare Yuri’ to a hidden room on the first floor of the castle.]

[’Nightmare Yuri’ goes into the dungeon, leaving you at the entrance...]

[Will you sneak into the dungeon?]

With the mission accomplished, all that needed to be done was wait for Nightmare Yuri to complete the sacrifice and seize the Wet Nurse’s blessing.

Of course, he didn’t dare to stick around in the castle waiting for the end of the sacrificial ceremony.

If the Wet Nurse’s consciousness was to descend again and discover his heretical disguise, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Lin Xun hatched a plan — he summoned the Valkyrie and ordered her to cut him a few times.

Then he abandoned Nightmare Yuri and sprinted away...

[...]

[You clutch your bloody wounds and stumble towards the inner castle area.]

[The patrolling guards are taken aback by your state and cry out in alarm: An assassin! There’s an assassin!]

[A crowd of guards rush together, and the guard leader quickly arrived at your side, awaiting your orders.]

[What’s your next move?]

[1. Order the guards to go to the dungeon and interrupt ’Nightmare Yuri’s’ sacrificial ceremony.]

[2. Order the guards to enter the main building of the castle in search of the assassin.]

[3. Order the guards to accompany you in leaving the castle and capturing the assassin.]

[You attempt to anger the guards, announcing that they’re being infiltrated by a disguised maid assassin who attacked after being uncovered. She fled from the castle and is headed for the city square.]

[By the master’s orders, the assassin must be captured alive. The guards all follow you to the city square in order to fulfill the master’s command!]
