Chapter 1693 - 1006: Fire Transmission Faction vs Extinguishing Fire Faction

Sure, here is the translated text:

Temude has only recently realized that excessive absorption of humanity can lead to "intoxication."

Before arriving at the Royal Capital of the Yanor Kingdom, he had been tirelessly moving within the Sain Dungeon, aiming to attempt things he had never done before and change the destinies of residual shadow roles he had previously overlooked.

To accomplish these tasks, the essential operation was to continuously acquire souls to regain his full strength. Fortunately, the Dark Hand enabled an increased quantity of souls obtained, so he began the frenzy of absorption within the Sain Dungeon.

During this process, due to attempting actions that appeared unsteady in the past, he experienced an increased number of deaths, leading to the discovery of a rather significant matter at this time—

Upon death, the Undead will lose humanity.

Initially, the humanity absorbed by the Dark Ring gradually disappeared, and without timely extra humanity supplementation, his own humanity began to fade!

The most apparent manifestation of humanity depletion is the onset of spiritual trance, dizziness, occasional memory loss, and even skin gradually drying out, evidently transitioning towards becoming an Animated Corpse!

Fortunately, all these negative changes racing forward can be recovered after supplementing humanity.

It turns out that the benefits brought by the Dark Ring and the Undead’s physique are not entirely positive; in a certain sense, the depletion of humanity is rather severe!

No wonder facilities like the Northern Undead Asylum are established to imprison the Undead; they are indeed societal destabilizers.

Such painful lessons have educated Temude, prompting him to consciously accumulate humanity, immediately absorbing it into his body upon acquisition, preventing any signs of Animated Corpse transformation.

As a result, when humanity within his body accumulated to ten or more, he began to feel "intoxicated."

This is a wondrous state caused by holding too much humanity; clearly, the bonuses from humanity made him stronger, yet his limbs and thoughts experienced an airy and even uncontrolled sensation.

Actually, this is a restriction system set by Gong Qiying.

Just like Trainers without Dojo Badges can’t manage high-level Pokemon, adventurers’ levels correspond to the amount of humanity they can absorb. Surpassing the limit results in a series of negative effects; if one continuously absorbs humanity recklessly, they would fall into a period of unconsciousness.

While unconscious in the Dungeon, one would roam recklessly until sufficient deaths ensure humanity depletion to a normal and reasonable range for awakening.

As for the spiritual power lost through death during the unconscious state, naturally, it belongs entirely to the Sain Dungeon!

Evidently, Temude, immersed in the freshness of a new round, didn’t sense the arrival of these negative effects, still hoarding humanity like a grain-storing hamster.

Thus, just as now, in a "floaty" state, he stepped out of the Teleportation Gate of the Sain Dungeon.

Arriving at the Royal Capital of the Yanor Kingdom.

"I managed to save a bunch of residual shadows I couldn’t save before by extinguishing fires!"

When he uttered this statement, even the most intimate drunken adventurer near him visibly stared blankly and stutteringly responded:

"You, what did you just say? Saving people? Extinguishing fires?"

The surrounding people also stared at him in confusion, some calling for companions, gathering more and more people, seemingly enclosing the area around the Teleportation Gate entirely.

Could extinguishing fires relate to saving people?

This rhetoric is akin to someone claiming bullets are a remedy and cure, what ailments would bullets treat, loli complex?

"That’s right, the thing is..."

Temude now sounds slightly tongue-tied, stumbling over his words:

"Extinguishing fire started a new cycle, everyone revived, I can save them... just need to try more, can save them..."

"What’s this cycle and revival, could you please clarify it more?"

"Did you extinguish the fire, what were you actually thinking at the time!"

"Amazing, brother, did you receive any rewards?"

"Actually, I’ve been single-handedly pushing for the King of Darkness since birth!"

Due to his earlier statements sounding rather cryptic, they fully aroused the curiosity of the onlookers, gathering around, shouting over each other, causing unimaginable chaos.

Those initially troubling drunken adventurers were no longer considered important; their whereabouts are currently unknown.

Temude was surrounded by the crowd, answering their questions one by one, some articulated clearly while others sounded like Batman’s old nemesis, the questioning voices echoing into the sky for a while.

The commotion created here ultimately attracted the attention of patrol guards.

"What’s everyone gathered here for, disperse, disperse!"

Finally, the guards accompanied the mentally unstable Temude away from the crowd’s encirclement.

However, though he left, his lingering words continued to spread and ferment among the crowd, the message spreading like lightning, rapidly multiplying, and compared to Leon’s orchestrated emotions with the support of an entire magician team and official help, his free-spirited roadside speech lacked management and eventually developed in an indescribable direction.
