chapter 16
16 – Nightfall – Hidden Route (4)
“The Holy Sword, Ira… “
Eugene stared blankly at the pure white light leaking from the blade of the holy sword she was holding.
In fact, to him, the existence of the holy sword was nothing special.
To other people, the holy sword would have been a legendary Noble Phantasm that only appeared in children’s books, but to Eugene, the holy sword was nothing more than a sharp sword.
‘As an added bonus, it was also a very noisy and nagging sword.’
That’s why Eugene didn’t feel much excitement about the fact that he had acquired the Holy Sword.
In the first place, he thought, the holy sword was an item like rice soup that must appear in a fantasy game.
Of course, winter and viewers didn’t see it.
“… Open it.”
“Hmm? What? The sound is so low that you can’t hear it well?”
“Item description window! Open it!”
As Winter, feeling the limit of her patience, screams loudly, Yujin puts on a confused expression without realizing it.
“No… Why are you screaming when you can talk? “
“It’s because you’ve been frustrating people since a while ago! Don’t you know that it’s manners to open the explanation window first so that the viewers don’t feel frustrated when you get such a damn weapon?”
– This time, I sympathize with Donmisae streamer Winter~
– The legend is being updated every moment, but Somajwa is just confused…
– ??? : Hidden route? Found an epic weapon? Isn’t this something anyone can easily do? But why is everyone fussing?
– Oh… Ah…
– What is spade damage?
– Somajwa is… I don’t know the ordinary human heart…
This time, as the viewers also sympathized with Winter and all sided with her, Eugene also had no choice but to raise the white flag.
“So, open the item description window?”
“Uh. Don’t make people feel stuffy and open it quickly, really.”
“By the way, how do I open the item description window? I’ve never opened an explanation window before, so I don’t know how to open it.”
“Ha… ?”
When Winter made a ridiculous expression at Eugene’s answer, the viewers who watched the scene burst into laughter at her.
– Oh hahahaha Come to think of it, this was actually the second virtual reality game hahahaha
– Beginner (slaughter the tutorial boss and explore the hidden route from the first day of the broadcast)
– I don’t know how to turn on the Somajwa item description window.
With a sigh, Winter taught Eugene how to operate the inventory, how to open the character status window, and how to open the item description window.
“Um… So is this how you do it?”
As Eugene chanted ‘item description’ in a small voice while holding on to the holy sword, a message window popped up in front of him at the same time.
[Holy Sword Omega (Ω)]
Description: The last masterpiece created by all the hunters and artisans of the workshop to oppose the ‘ruler’ using the puppet doll ‘Yuria’ as a medium. Artificial sword.
Because it was only made by human hands and made by madness to cut non-humans, it can inflict fatal damage on non-humans.
In addition, it amplifies the user’s physical abilities, making the human body exert the same level of power as that of a beast.
Is it because the name of the sword, Omega (Ω), stems from the pride of craftsmen that it is the strongest sword that mankind can forge?
If not, did it originate from admiration and mourning for the final hope to save mankind, who is scheduled to wield this sword?
“This, what kind of open-air weapon is this… “
After carefully reading the item description of the holy sword, Winter opened his mouth without realizing it.
– Critical damage to something other than human? Does it just mean crit damage to all monsters?
– In addition, there is an increase in physical ability hahahahaha It is said that it strengthens the user to the level to face the beast hahahaha
– In the hidden route, the puppet nunna doesn’t level up, so this is how I balance it.
– ㄴ Uh-huh, don’t call me a puppet.
– ㄴ hahahaha ㅅㅅ;;
‘Physical ability improvement… ‘
With the Holy Sword in his hand, Eugene tested his swordsmanship.
Poo-Wak!
I just swung lightly, but the sharp sound of the sword cutting through the wind resonated.
“Whoa.”
Certainly, while holding the holy sword in his hand, his physical abilities had greatly improved.
‘At this rate, I wouldn’t be so far behind even if I split swords with Ariandel head-on.’
In other words, it meant that it was safe to say that there would be no harm in future fights due to physical spec problems.
[How do you feel about using me? Are you satisfied, Master?]
“Well, at least it’s not bad. I think it’s pretty useful.”
At YuRia’s question, Eugene smiled and answered.
– Why is Yuria Nunna’s ambassador so erotic?
– You crazy bastard hahahaha
– Somajwa looks cool hahahahaha
– Was Soma actually a tsundere???
– By the way, has YuRia Nunna completely become a sword??? I’m only talking in holy sword mode from now on;; I miss her face already
– ㄴ Originally, if you get one, you lose one. Just like I don’t have a girlfriend even though I have a lot of savings in my bank account…
– The great sage
– ㄴ That’s the law of equivalent exchange ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
“Yuria, from now on, you can only be in the form of a holy sword?”
Eugene also asked a question subtly, wondering if she could ever return to her original puppet form.
[Impossible. It’s been a long time since all the parts that made up the machine called me have been rebuilt with the holy sword. It is impossible to return to the puppet of the past once it has become this form.]
– Ah…
– It’s snowing.
[However… If I take the form of a sword, it will be quite difficult to guide the master on the journey ahead, so I have prepared an alternative.]
“… Substitute?”
And that was then.
A very small and dainty sized doll reminiscent of a fairy approached and gently landed on Eugene’s shoulder.
And that doll had an appearance that closely resembled Yuria’s face when she was a puppet.
“From now on, I will communicate with my master through this miniature doll. So please take good care of me, Master.”
Yuria… As soon as Mini YuRia raised her hand on her belly and greeted her Eugene, the comment window started to explode.
– YuRia Nunna miniature mode is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
– Wahkyahhhhh
– What is it, Mom, I want that too!
– Wow, it’s really f*cking cute. I buy it immediately when a figure or doll comes out.
– Powell Software, the greatest game company in human history.
– The best in history, GOAT
– The guys from the production team of Powell Software said they don’t put heroines in Nightfall, so they hit the back of the head like this in the hidden route hahahahaha
– ㄴ But if it’s the back of the head like this, it’s okay to get hit, right? Do you still love me?
– ㄴ ㄴㅇ Powell software guys know sh*t ㅠㅠㅠ
Around the time the viewers are going wild, Winter looks at the mini Yuria sitting on Eugene’s shoulder with a disapproving expression on her face.
“Why do you look rotten again?”
“No, since he’s sitting on her brother’s shoulder like that, it’s kind of like my role overlaps.”
“… Do the roles overlap?”
“Even if I look at it like this, I was in charge of visuals for this show and at the same time I was supporting my older brother who had no idea about virtual reality games.
– ????
– Let’s giggle, it’s winter
– Yes, I like figures more than people, so get rid of that face quickly
– B hahahaha too harsh words hahahahaha
That was the time when Winter was fighting with viewers to secure the amount of broadcasting.
Kurleung-
Somewhere, a sudden roar resounds like thunder.
Upon hearing that, the mini Yuria sitting on Eugene’s shoulder suddenly hardens her face and starts whispering to him in a small voice.
“Master, it seems that there is something I need to tell you urgently.”
“Look? What?”
“It looks like the ‘paradise’ we were staying in will soon collapse. I think you’d better get out of here.”
“… So suddenly? Why?”
At YuRia’s words, Yujin turned her head and looked around her.
The surrounding landscape still feels peaceful and cozy, reminiscent of that in a fairy tale.
But you think this place is about to collapse? Why?
“Paradise is an absolutely inviolable sanctuary created by the authority of the original ruler. It is a place where no change can occur because the space is fixed. The fact that such a roar suddenly rang out in such a paradise means—”
And before YuRia could even finish her words, another roar rang out.
Kurlureung-!
A huge roar that was incomparable to the one before, as if thunder had fallen.
Catch-up-
At the same time, spatial cracks begin to occur in the cottage and the flower garden in the area, which reminded you of a world in a cute fairy tale.
And through the cracks, something with big eyes looks this way.
Creepy.
The moment their eyes met with those eyes, Eugene received a great shock.
What the hell is that?
It has an appearance that cannot be described by human words, it is huge enough to be far away, and it is so high that it cannot be compared to something like Ariandel.
Something not of this world, outside of the world, located there.
That is, no way.
“It means that the ‘ruler’, who was usually displeased with this space, started using his own hands.”
[■■■■■■■■-!]
As soon as Mini Yuria’s words fall, a crack in black space shatters, revealing a monster with countless tentacles.
“That is Arkham’s nightmare and one of the sources of darkness upon the world.”
“…I am the ruler, ‘Stargazer, Yves Ster’.”
A nightmare that I couldn’t even dare to describe was now descending here.
