Chapter 21: Story Quest Commences
I knew It, I was hoping that it wouldn't occur but it did. A story quest popped out! Due to the change of difficulty the four of us along with this apothecary who's related to the mad alchemist that goes by the name Blake. We're on our way to an area that my characters found to be the next place where the 3rd mission will appear. If the difficulty didn't shift the four of us would only need to kill the number of monsters needed to clear this stage. The thing that annoys me is that a story mission needs you to listen to any kind of information no matter how stupid it may be. Since the answer in clearing the mission is related to the story
[System: You've found a valuable clue connected to the story mission, you've earned 200 contribution points. 100 points will be given to your teammates for piecing together the clue you've found with their investigation. Now that you arrive at the last abandoned building that was the only remaining lead to the story quest]
'Right off the bat, I've got 200 points that'll be useful for my plans! I gotta say this place looked like a steampunk civilization, the design and everything looks appealing. If I didn't know any better I'm inside a book, that's right I forgot that I transmigrated in my book. Even with the advanced technology in their possession, it wasn't enough to create a solution to stop the famine. This makes me curious to ask how a heavily guarded city fell. There must be something that I don't have any kind of knowledge about, the only lead I have is him. Blake Belfast, from what I've heard the guy has some issues with the mad alchemist,'
"No matter what happens, don't panic... The people in this underground city would immediately accuse you of treason. Don't talk to anyone, and don't look directly into their eyes, it's lawless but the thing they hate more is a snitch. They'll call the guards and kill us, no matter what you need to stay on your ties in this side of the city. If not, then you might as well pray if you have a deity that you're contracted with," Blake warns the four of them after they arrive at the darkest corner within the safe zone
"From what you've just said, it sounds like this isn't your first time wandering this side of the safe zone. Are you guys sure that we should trust this guy? I don't see anything that'll make me believe his words," Gale questioned Blake's knowledge while his suspicion of him grew bigger as he explained a ton of information
'Bruh??? This guy healed my wounds, he was polite to me, and he even gave me a medium-grade healing potion. I know a killer when I see it, but what kind of murderer would do so much for their target? I don't even know why this character is too hostile to the same player that saved my life,'
"Gale can't you stop picking a fight for once in your life," Shin sided with Blake while the rest looked in his direction
"You two aren't you guys getting a little close with that stranger? Even Morris's reaction is a little saner than this guy seriously he healed him for free what kind of apothecary is that," Gale turned the tables against him when he questioned his motives
'Shut the fuck up Gale!!! Nobody asked for your opinion, this is my normal I'm not siding with a knucklehead like you!!'
His expression remains unchanged even though his inner voice was cursing at the ignorance of his character. Since he didn't want to lose his position or any favorability in his characters. Morris chose the viable option where he could gain the favor of both
"I can vouch for him, he's an avatar of some saint-like deity because I swept away his problems in return he healed me. Can you put your trust in me just this once? I've saved the three of you from that overwhelming number of infected. I know my way around this world, plus the name of his deity sounds familiar to my ears,"
'Amazing Mr. Morris is truly a saint just as the deities had gossiped about, he went out of his way to welcome me into his team. When I heard my deity praising him so highly I thought his another madman thirsty for blood. I was too ignorant, this man is truly an ally that I've been trying to find for a long time,'
When the countdown arrived at 0 the whole area revealed a ton of circle magic that was placed by none other than the Gm Kishar blowing anything into oblivion while the building remained unchanged unable to be destroyed by the explosion, because of the law that can't be broken, the Gm's can't destroy an area that's meant for players
[System: You've survived the Gm's surprise you'll be given 50 contribution points for your survival
Alert: the story quest has now commenced, the chimera will now be spawned]
The mobs materialized inside the warehouse while the ball of rubble remained intact. Once they appeared, they naturally targeted the ball of rubble when their incredible hearing picked up a heartbeat. These monsters jump and climb up to the rubble the chimera that surrounds the ball has thrust their claws, fist, or even their heads. They didn't stop and intended to smash through the rocks until they felt them shaking, again and again. It grew stronger making them hold onto the rubble after they got too high that they were afraid of falling to the ground
[System: The player Christoper Morris has activated the skill Mana breathing, the player will now gain mana as simply as breathing]
On the top of the rubble, the chimera gazed upon a white-haired person wearing but a black robe. He controlled the rubble that they were holding onto, reshaping the ball into a flat area while he bonded them to the rubble. Struggling to escape they were killed within a minute, after taking care of the ones that chose to climb. The five of them looked down only to see a ton of chimeras waiting for the arrival of their prey
"Yoona, stay inside this platform and provide air support when we're getting pinned down. Shin don't waste your energy in killing, just circle and strike their vitals and come back after. Gale, you're the vanguard, kill or stall them. It's optional just don't let them get close, and lastly Blake you'll be helping me at the center, we're going to control this battle. I'll cover you if you need some time to brew some potions, with all that said and done attack!!!" Morris yelled out a battle cry when he jumped down the platform he created. The four of them went into the separate formation and their battle have finally begun
