The Human Giant-Chapter 294 : Accepting The Deity Mission
Yoze rubbed his chin as he thought about his options. He had three missions in front of him that had their own uniqueness, and all could be excellent missions that would earn him many points.
For two missions to involve demons, Yoze felt that either his luck was improving or this proved that immortals simply lived in a different world. Back at New Swampscott City, he had struggled to find traces of demons and had to rely on the City to gather clues for him.
Now he came upon two missions that had a high chance of hunting demons. For other immortal cultivators, they would be cursing their luck at how unlucky they were to have been brought to unachievable missions.
But Yoze felt that these missions were much more suitable for him than the Golden Wheat Belt mission. Not only could he collect more talents, spiritual energy, and demon flesh, but he could also get a lot of Sect Points all at once.
"I shouldn't discount the Golden Wheat Belt mission. Even though it doesn't involve demons, it could be the most simple mission."
"From the information inside the folder, this mission is mainly to defend the farm from any further damage. Finding out the attackers' identity and killing them was secondary compared to protecting the wheat."
"With my spiritual energy and incredible observation skills, I should be able to protect the farm without much issue. And after two weeks and the wheat had been harvested, I will no longer have anything to do with the mission."
"Meaning that the mission itself is restricted to only take up two weeks of my time. As for the other two missions, they didn't have such a time limit."
"Meaning that if I am unlucky, I might spend more than two weeks simply completing just one of these missions. If I am really unlucky with the Dark Cavern mission and the Deity Killer mission, not only will I spend a large amount of time, but I will also not meet any demons." Yoze's mind raced as he thought about the best mission for his current situation.
After a few seconds, Yoze eventually decided that the Deity Killer mission was the most suitable mission for him at the moment. Even though the Golden Wheat Belt had the benefit of only taking two weeks of his time, he didn't want to deal with the consequences of being forced to kill those immortal cultivators.
If his assumption was correct that the attackers and defenders were the same people, then he couldn't imagine these immortal cultivators acting against the Immortal Palace Sect's interest without the backing of another immortal. If he had to take action, he might get into a conflict with an immortal and attract attention which is not what he wants.
As for the Dark Cavern mission, Yoze still considered this mission to be a gamble. Even though Sami noted the particular interest that the Sect had for the cave. There wasn't a guarantee that the demon that was inside the cave was still there.
With such a possibility, even if small, Yoze was not interested in wasting his time to get a below-average amount of Sect Points. As for the Deity Killer Mission, he felt that it was more interesting and would waste his time the least.
As a person who has unlocked his spiritual senses and even fought multiple demons in the past, he was confident that he could quickly determine whether there was a demon hiding as a deity. If there was a demon perfect, he had fully recovered from his battle with Immortal Welse and was ready to battle against another strong opponent to improve his martial art skills.
If there wasn't, it was also fine since he could always claim that he did slay the demon and leave some traces of their battle. When the investigation team arrives to see if he truly did find and slay a demon, they would be fooled by his realistic battle marks.
Resulting in him easily getting three Sect Points for doing barely any work. Yoze was also interested in the method the demon could have used to extract spiritual energy from people believing in it.
He didn't believe Sami's claim that the demon was absorbing people's faith to get stronger was fully true. It was more likely that this 'Faith' was a substitute for spiritual energy.
"I'll take the Deity Killer mission. As for the other two missions, I will take a look at them again when I come back." Yoze said.
"You chose the Deity Killer mission!? You are truly bold... and mighty." Sami said with shock written over his face.
He had never assumed that Yoze would choose this mission. It wasn't a lie when he said this was the hardest mission. He truly believed that the Sect had misrepresented the mission rank and would be forced to raise it in the future just like the other similar missions. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡
He had only brought this mission along because he wanted to influence Yoze's decision to select the other two missions. One would get rid of him for two weeks, and the other had the possibility of killing him.
"He truly is courageous to select this mission. I wonder where he gets his confidence from." Sami thought to himself as he walked away to sign Yoze up for the Deity Killer mission.
After a few minutes, Yoze felt the Sect Mark on his body beginning to heat up as it flowed down to his palm like black ink. Without him having to do anything, the Sect Mark morphed into the three words of "Deity Killer mission."
After a few seconds, his Sect Mark flowed back to its original place and once again acted like an ordinary tattoo.
"Yoze, the mission is now all yours. You can head out whenever you are ready." Sami said with a wide smile on his face showing his true emotions.
Yoze nodded his head and returned to the first floor. He needed to do a few things first to prepare for the mission. The first thing was to buy a map that had a route directly to Gospel Peak.
