The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess

While everyone was either evacuating or getting treated, a certain figure sneaked out during the confrontation.

Chilly winds blew and the darkness of night was at its peak. The atmosphere was eerie and the silence of the night was occasionally broken by the sounds of insects and the rustling of leaves.

Amid the darkness of night, a shadow flashed through the trees moving from one branch to another.

As he passed through the trees, a soft breeze blew and the leaves of the trees swayed to and fro.

The winds were gentle but filled with coldness and a long silent atmosphere prevailed as if signalling the forthcoming of a storm.

Gentle winds brushed past his cheek as Alex went deeper and deeper.

“Is this how ninjas feel when they jump from trees? Why do I feel that I am moving like a monkey rather than a Ninja?” Alex whispered.

[Host, please focus on the things ahead. Your leisurely mood might kill you today. There is no plot armour for you and your luck is quite terrible compared to others. If you didn’t have memories of your previous life, you are nothing more than cannon fodder.]

“At least, this cannon fodder lives a better life than you who is just stuck in my head. Unlike me, what can you do?”

“Can you eat, drink, and enjoy beauties?” Alex snorted and stared at the screen.

==============

[Quest]

Investigate and eliminate the root cause of today’s trouble.

Reward:30 Stat Points.

Failure to finish the task could impact not only Kinley but the whole world in the future.

===============

Alex got the notification during the battle with Death Knight.

His eyes almost popped out from his socket seeing the quest.

30 stat points meant 15 levels. At his current, the stage where even finding prey to kill was hard enough for him and this undead didn’t have him anything as they didn’t have any life force to be converted into experience points.

And on top of that, the task was of epitome importance.

The Goddess can’t interfere in this world and case of troubles can only give oracles which are too hard to decipher.

In a way, even if their daughters were going to be killed they cannot do anything and watch from the sidelines.

Interfering in world affairs would cause them to be punished heavily and in severe cases turned into Mortal.

But Alex was an exception. His presence was in itself taboo and after various experiments even though the Goddess directly talked with him and gave some hints, there was no punishment implemented on them.

Still, to be on the safer side, they decided to use this system to signal things in case of trouble.

And Alex could already imagine the severity of the matter from the quest cause, those stingy ladies wouldn’t give a quest unless the future of the entire world was at stake.

Alex mana sensors could not only detect people but also sense abnormality in the mana flow in a region.

As the fight with the undead progressed, the first thing he did was to search for the Necromancer that might have hidden away.

But to his surprise, he couldn’t find any Necromancer around the radius of 5km.

Necromancers can summon undead and could sustain them until their mana run out but they couldn’t use them to attack from a greater distance.

Alex noticed a faint black miasma in the undead and also noticed that many of them had rotten skins and they looked as if they had been sucked dry, indicating that many of them died recently.

It seems that the miasma coming from them had turned them into undead.

Alex followed the mana sensor and searched for the location where the Mace-tailed Monkey chased him and found trails of miasma leading deeper inside the forest and now he was following the trail.

Though he was in the vast wilderness, he found that the place was quite silent and devoid of creatures.

The place should be filled with monsters and beasts but it was quite empty.

He guessed that most of them had either been killed or turned into undead.

Alex who was discerning his surroundings suddenly felt strong mana ripples.

His ear perked up.

“Someone is fighting ahead!” Alex muttered and sped up through the dense forest.

As Alex drew closer, his eyes opened wide with disbelief as he saw the scene of the ongoing battle.

Before him, a Lich was commanding his undead troops to fight the enemy and it was none other than Hurt in himself.

“What the hell?” Alex’s eyes stuck on Hurt who was engaging in a bloody fight.

His figure had been dishevelled and his body had many wounds while his clothes had been in tatters.

But more than that the strength he was showing was a legendary rank.

===========

Name:Hurt[Seymour(Soul Swapped)]

Class:Battlemage

Talent:Void Interference.

Potential:Superior.

=============

Alex was too stunned after witnessing soul-swapping that the importance of void interference became dull in his eyes.

He had studied so many arts. He knew about possessing someone but soul-swapping was something out of his wildest imagination.

The information was completely different from what he had seen previously.

‘Soul Swap, what does it mean? Is it a talent or is Hurt already dead and someone is residing in its body like a parasite.’

‘What if the soul of a guy had the power to change from one body to another?’

Alex wanted to scold himself for all these kinds of outrageous thoughts and if he heard this thing from someone else, he might have beaten that guy badly.

Alex observed Hurt’s movement trying to figure him out.

The undead tried to attack Hurt but they were unable to reach out to him.

The Lich also fired many spells but none of them could pierce through the Hurt defence.

Hurt raised his hand and shot huge bolts of lightning.

The Lich was alarmed by it and struck its staff on the ground.

Many undead rose from the ground that stood before the Lich acting as barriers trying to protect the Lich from being fried.

Huge flashes of lightning descended upon them and the bolts struck the undead that stood before Lich, burning them into ashes.

“Shit!” Hurt cursed in anger as he noticed that this attack was taken by the Lich’s henchman.
