Novel Full Chapter 314
Chapter 314
A few hours ago, Chinese Li Weifeng had faced a dilemma. On top of the quest to eliminate the bitch ending abruptly upon reaching the time limit, the situation in the rear was worsening day by day.
[Warning: Doom Man’s incarnation has entered.]
Furthermore, an unsettling message had popped up. He was certainly surrounded by enemies on all sides. It had been a long time since the last time he heard from the Lord of Heaven, who had entered the Maruka’s territory.
Osiris was now blocking the path to Maruka’s territory with the plague, the Barba Corps in the back were too powerful to confront, and the avaricious corpses who were intransigent and impossible to reason with were sitting side by side.
The situation would have been better if the groups on both sides had cooperated. Li Weifeng’s corps would have joined the main force already by making a big detour to the land that was intact from the plague.
Wouldn’t that have saved the Lord of Heaven and streamlined the battlefield?
In the end, the quest was brought to naught, but the war didn’t end. He was unable to advance to the front. The ghouls were joining the Barba Corps in the back, and the greedy individuals on the sides offered no assistance.
“Fuck.”
He wondered what had led to this situation.
The leader of the corps from the left, who was one of the thirty seat holders, visited him. Her name was Ding Xia, and her code name was Hanuman. Although she had the same nationality as him outside, he had never been in the same stage as her.
Li Weifeng shouted to her as if he had been waiting, “You are Hanuman. I really wanted to see what kind of moron you were. Even if you are blinded by rewards, how dare you leave the Barba Corps unattended!”
She retorted, “You simply had to deal with the easy Kciphos, so you don’t deserve to say anything. We were the ones who destroyed the altar first. It was Barba’s altar, as you said! Whatever. You still haven’t heard from the Lord of Heaven, have you? He must be quiet because he is dead.”
He snarled, “Shut the hell up.”
Ding Xia snidely responded, “Oh, should I just shut up and leave? If that’s what you want, sure.”
“What brought you here? Just get to the point,” he snapped.
She growled, “You are the one who started the fight.”
Li Weifeng scowled. “Well, then get the fuck off. My life will be in danger if I cooperate with an idiot.”
She mocked, “You must not know how things are going, tsk tsk.”
“Who made it this far?”
She smirked. “What do you mean who? It’s your Lord of Heaven. Those who didn’t listen to me died like that. Then, I’ll assume that you are out of this. Go to hell.”
Li Weifeng gritted his teeth, but this was his only chance to improve the situation. In terms of the overall military power, Hanuman’s force was much stronger.
“Are you forming a coalition? When it is too late?” Li Weifeng asked.
She shook her head. “Not me.”
“Then, who?”
“Hephaestus[1]. He must have thought that everyone would be wiped out if things remained unchanged.”
She was referring to Ian Jones, one of the five sitting in the front line.
He narrowed his eyes. “Which one is he prioritizing? The Barba Corps? Or that bitch’s corps? I’ll decide whether or not to join after you tell me that.”
Li Weifeng was about to reject the coalition suggestion when she said that Mary’s corps was the priority. The destructive power trapped in the central area was indeed powerful as there were Mary, her pet Kciphos Gundrak, the Plague Monster and his hideous subordinates, the Tentacle Demon[2], and Odin’s fanatics.
In addition, their area had become an impregnable fortress when they used their giant tentacles as a barrier and used wetlands as tenaille[3]. Wait, no. It actually would become a hell-like fortress. No one would be able to come back alive if they stepped into it. That was the biggest cause of this situation.
“The bitch’s corps.”
He barked out a laugh. “You guys are crazy, haha. Why is he even called Hephaestus? Is he a moron like you? You guys are idiots who don’t know what comes first. The quest is gone.”
Ding Xia hissed, “You’d better listen to me until the end.”
He shook his head. “No matter how much I listen to you…”
She interrupted, “Odin’s Sacred Vessel.”
“...!”
Ding Xia continued, “The quest is gone, but Odin’s Sacred Vessel is there.”
“Hmph. That’s obviously a trick. It’s funny how you were caught in that,” Li Weifeng mocked.
“Hohoho. Hephaestus promised that the person who gets it first is the owner. What do you think? Don’t you want to join us? Even if Hephaestus changes his mind, you, me, and our fucking friends won’t let him do as he pleases.”
“Oh, yeah…?”
***
Hephaestus was aware of how powerful the owners of the semicircle were, but thousands of Awakened were moving for one purpose. He thought there would be an opportunity, but he was wrong.
The bitch and the Plague Monster had digested the incoming prey with their mouths wide open. Ian Jones deeply regretted his actions because he realized that should have listened to Deborah Belluci and stayed still under the King of Hell.
Instead of cutting the bitch’s throat, all his aides were killed. If he were out of patience, then he would have been stuck in the wetland with them.
Hephaestus fixed his eyes at the window as a quest message appeared. As Mary’s assassination quest came to an end and a message stating that Doom Man’s incarnation entered the stage, the Guide appeared before him. The Guide, which only showed up to the rulers of the stage.
[Great Minds Think Alike with the Guide (Quest)
Lumah-le is the only Guide who made it through the fierce competition that involved 450,000 Guides. You can’t imagine how much power Lumah-le holds.
Mission: Protect Lumah-le from the Doom Man.
Class: S
Rewards: Challenger box * 50, start item of the quest ‘Guardian,’ start item of the quest ‘The Owner of the Skeletal Dragon,’ Privilege ‘Fast Growth.’ Privilege ‘Collection.’
* A great number of XP will be given if you complete the quest.]
It was similar to the reward for Mary’s assassination quest, but it would eventually take one’s own life.
Doom Man… Doom?
Even the Great Odin died while dealing with a Doom.
The Doom is coming to me… Damn it. Fuck… Why me…

However, he didn’t cancel it as he couldn’t stop thinking about the rewards. At that moment, a message popped up that pushed the huge quest window to one side. The Guide made an abrupt appearance in Hephaestus’s view.
[What are you worrying about? Most of the Awakened are on your side.]
“But it’s Doom,” he protested.
[I have already taught you that this is the opportunity to make the Doom Man reveal his main body. Use any means to make him come out to the world.]
“What kind of being is the incarnation?”
[He is strong.]
“Like how much?” he asked.
[If you successfully gather all the Awakened, it’s worth a try. There is a possibility, so get over your fear.]
Hephaestus was skeptical of the feasibility of merging thousands of groups with varying sizes and policies into one. Although he had used Odin’s Sacred Vessel as bait, he knew they wouldn’t be able to achieve what they wanted within a few days.
Honestly, it was impossible no matter how much time was allowed, unless he was Odin. Even if all the Awakened were eliminated by the war of destruction that Doom Man would bring, it was uncertain if their goal would be accomplished.
He asked the Guide, “You would want to live, right?”
[Yes, of course!]
The Guide nodded.
“Then, you should compensate me first. Then, I will do my best to protect you.”
[ (๑´╹‸╹`๑) I can’t believe someone who has reached this far is saying something like this. Have you not learned yet? You have to prove your worth in order to gain more powerful strength. This is the absolute rule of the System.]
He snarled, “That means that we both will all die together. I will cancel the quest. If you want to die, then go and do that alone. Fight the Doom Man by yourself. Don’t put me in there.”
[Fine. Go ahead and cancel. C-A-N-C-E-L.]
“...”
[Hehe, I knew it! I gave you all the hints beyond my authority. When Doom Man appears, the Awakened have no choice but to fight back. Step up and be their leader, corner the incarnation, and make him reveal his true self! If Doom Man cries out of pain, be sure to get rid of him. Never miss that short moment. Never.]
The Guide stared Hephaestus in the eye.
[When he completes his main body, no one can stop Doom Man. Then, good luck! I wish you the best, Hephaestus! ヾ(｡>﹏
