Chapter 1489: Part 1: Swamp land
From MC’s Perspective:
The female manager added an entry to the spending list. She puts the masked man’s purchase of the broken puppet parts.
She clearly mentioned it as the broken parts.
If someone wants to create problems for her, then they would find it unnecessary for the broken magic items.
After doing that she turned towards the guest.
She said, “I have updated the spending list. You can leave the city after paying the amount.”
Hearing that I smiled at her. Fortunately, she didn’t play any tricks. Then I took the pouch from the storage bracelet.
Then I used the mental power to count the mana stones. I picked up the 1000 mid mana stones from it and gave it to her.
The female manager accepted the mana stones. She then told the female staff to hand over the container.
Hearing that the female staff gave it to me. I accepted it and collected it inside the storage bracelet.
“Can I leave the city now?” I asked the female manager.
“Yes, I have updated the list. The guards at the gate won’t stop you from leaving,” She replied.
Then I thanked the female manager and the staff before leaving the store. I started walking towards the exit.
I have all the stuff with me. There is no need to go back to the inn. Then I thought about the golden-haired person and others. His name is Nikos.
I don’t know what they are doing right now. I continued walking along the path. Some people were going about their business.
Among them are visitors as well. Most of their faces were dull. As if they don’t have enough money to spend.
Soon, I reached the exit gate. There are green-dressed patrol guards. Upon seeing me, they looked at each other and opened the gates.
Seeing that I heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, I’m going to leave the city. Then I exited the city through the huge gate.
After coming out, I started using the flight ability to move in the air. The sky is as bright as the day. I’m not going to stop anywhere.
Meanwhile,
Nikos and others were still shopping. They don’t know that the masked man has left the city.
Time passed,
Post noon, my journey came to a halt. There is a vast swampland in front of me.
There is only one path available, which is a narrow road going straight through the middle of the swamps.
“What kind of place is this?” I asked myself.
I’m certain that this place is not safe. I have to be careful. Because literally no one was here besides me. Then I landed on the ground and started taking the narrow road.
I’m strolling. At the same time, I’m keeping an eye on the swamps. The swamps were covered with mangroves and marsh grasses.
Even before the system could warn me. I’m feeling a sense of crisis. I don’t know what type of dangers are hidden here.
As time passes, I have almost entered the area of the swamp. I slightly turned back and saw the narrow road.
Now I’m standing in the middle of the narrow road in the swamp region. I had never expected that there was a dangerous swamp located before the 3rd city.
I don’t know whether the transport services are available from the 3rd City. Then I collected my thoughts and resumed walking.
My gaze wanders around the mangroves and the marsh grasses. All of a sudden, the marsh grasses dance in the wind.
Seeing that I was stunned. I’m sure that there are no wind movements here. Yet the marsh grasses have moved.
I paused my footsteps and continued to look at the place.
[Ding! Warning!]
[A dangerous monster has been detected.]
I heard a system warning in my mind. My eyes turned cold the next moment. I was right. There is something here.
Swoosh!
An 8-foot black scorpion darted out of the marsh grasses. From its appearance, it looks like a 7th-order monster.
Tud!
It landed on the ground and blocked the path.
On the other hand, I probed the monster’s strength with the help of the system. It says that the 7th is a 7th-order monster as well.
I didn’t immediately react. I started to look at the surrounding places. There may be other monsters hiding in the swamp.
Boom!
The black scorpion shoots black ink. It pierced through the air before reaching me.
“Repulsive Force”
I cast the magic spell. The next second, a powerful force burst forth from my body. The repulsive force struck the black ink.
Boom!
The next second, the black ink dispersed in the midair with a booming sound. The repulsive force didn’t stop there.
The remaining force struck the body of the scorpion.
Puchak!
The powerful magic force shredded the scorpion’s body. A mess of blood mixed organ paths stew across the dirt.
This was all over within seconds. I could have killed it using the mana coercion alone. But I don’t want to take any chances here.
Even the slightest injuries could land me in big trouble. I waited there to see any more movements coming from the marsh grasses.
A few minutes later,
I found out that the place was quiet. There seems to be no other monsters here. I resumed walking.
As time passed, I went further into the swamp. But I can’t see the end whatsoever. It was not only the problem there.
The density of the mangroves has grown further. No, a gap can be spotted between them. The waters looked dark green.
No one can see what’s moving in the ground.
Just as I’m observing the dense mangroves. Out of nowhere, a lot of mangroves moved. The dense, long, brown roots darted out of the place.
The roots were arm-sized and it has sharp ends. If it comes in contact with the flesh and skin, then it would tear apart the body.
Seeing that more than 10 sharp brown roots are coming towards me. A hint of seriousness appeared in my eyes.
