Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 150 Yan Ling

When the feeling of weightlessness and dizziness disappeared, Ron found himself in a corridor that seemed to have no end.

Outside the corridor, it was pitch black, like a bottomless abyss that could devour people, making one's heart tremble.

Ron looked around; everything was just like the scene in the game.

A corridor made of unknown gray-black metal, with no end in sight, and a metal door every fifteen meters... This is the End Realm created by the Godfather of the End, who once wielded the power of [Annihilation], using all his life's skills.

Behind each tightly closed metal door lies a unique legacy.

Ron turned his head and glanced at the open metal door beside him; this meant that the inheritance had been taken away.

The gate whose inheritance has been taken will become the entrance to a secret realm.

There are many entrances to the End of the Realm, and the entrance in Dunor County is just one of them.

Standing on the corridor, an invisible pressure surged from all directions.

"Give up... return to the end... eternal slumber..."

"Pain...struggle...all meaningless..."

Join us... and share in the immortal silence...

"Your power...the sacrifice...will be elevated..."

Countless whispers reached the depths of his soul, attempting to break his will, tempting him to give up resistance and become part of this desolate corridor.

When you exit this corridor, you have three choices.

The first one lingered in the corridor, slowly having his will eroded by these soul-stirring murmurs, becoming part of the final secret realm.

The second option is to actively enter the opened room, close the door, leave behind a legacy, and become part of the End Realm.

Third, one must push open those closed doors, pass the trials, obtain the inheritance, and leave the End of the Secret Realm.

Most of those chosen to enter the secret realm will follow the paths of the first two and become part of the final secret realm.

Of the remaining clever people who push open the door, nine out of ten will become part of the End Realm in another way.

Because the risks behind each door are unknown, some people don't want their inheritance to be taken away and simply want to drag those who come in later down with them, so they will set the test to the highest difficulty.

Under the protection of the rules of the End Realm, some sixth-tier inheritance trials can even kill seventh-tier powerhouses.

It's easy to imagine what the outcome would be if someone pushed open a door that was beyond their capabilities.

Of course, Ron didn't need to worry about such things.

Players have opened all one hundred doors at the entrance to Dunor County using the resurrection mechanic, and detailed guides have been posted on the forum.

Although he couldn't memorize all the test details of those two hundred doors, he could still memorize the details of a few key doors.

For example, the door on the right side of the entrance leads to a sixth-tier inheritance, and his current strength is more than enough to clear it.

But Ron had no intention of going in; he walked forward.

His faith power mostly comes from sacrifices and cannot be replenished quickly, so there's no need to waste it on sixth-order inheritance.

His purpose in coming here is to acquire seventh-tier skills.

If I have enough Faith Power after obtaining the seventh-tier skill inheritance, I might consider buying a batch of goods.

26, 27, 28...

[Level has been increased to level 51]

Clearing himself of the influence of those ramblings, Ron focused intently on counting the doors he passed along the way.

...64, 65, 66.

Ron stopped.

Number 66, Word Master Azkar, Seventh-Order Magic - Edict.

That’s it.

He reached out and slowly pushed open the heavy door.

The door was halfway open when the scene before his eyes suddenly changed, as if the background had been altered.

A wave of scorching heat, carrying the smell of sulfur and charred bones, rushed towards us, and blinding red light filled our vision.

Ron squinted, adjusting to the sudden change in environment.

He wanted to observe his surroundings, but his body was unable to move; he couldn't even turn his head.

Are you forcing me to watch CG?

normal phenomenon.

Ron remained calm, quietly waiting for the CG animation to end.

At this moment, he was standing on the edge of a huge, circular platform.

Below the platform lies a churning, boiling, crimson lava lake, bubbling with enormous bubbles, where scorching air currents distort the atmosphere.

In the center of the platform stands a bizarre furnace made up of countless huge, charred bones with shimmering dark red patterns.

The furnace was not filled with flames, but rather with a thick, blood-red energy that surged and emitted a terrifying wave of destruction.

"Roar--"

A roar filled with destructive desire erupted from the depths of the furnace. Accompanying this roar, the surging dark red energy within the furnace suddenly boiled, gushing outwards as if it were alive.

Click, click, click

At the edge of the platform, in the lava lake, countless scattered skeletons, drawn by the energy of the furnace, are rapidly combined, pieced together, and brought to life, as if controlled by an invisible giant hand.

In the blink of an eye, a ferocious and terrifying seventh-order skeletal behemoth materialized in front of Ron.

"what!"

A terrified scream rang in his ears, and Ron instantly regained his mobility.

Looking to the side, one could see a brown-haired girl in a white robe sitting on the ground, her face pale.

"No...it's impossible..."

The brown-haired girl stared intently at the skeletal behemoth that appeared before her, her pupils trembling with fear, and her fingers gripping the staff so tightly they turned white.

“We can’t possibly defeat this monster,” she said in despair.

"Kewei'er, cheer up!"

At the forefront of the group, a blond man clad in heavy armor and wielding a greatsword shouted sternly. He kept a watchful eye on the skeletal behemoth while trying his best to encourage his teammates behind him.

"Believe in yourselves, believe in us! Haven't we worked well together all this time? With our seamless teamwork, we might just be able to defeat this monster!"

His voice was strong and resonant, carrying an air of unwavering determination.

However, this encouragement failed to ignite a spark of hope in the eyes of his teammates.

the reason is simple.

Ron's gaze swept over the four people around him in turn.

This team, except for the captain who is at level six, consists of level five members. How can they defeat a level seven monster?

Even when making empty promises, one should only do so if there is some hope to be found.

Turning his gaze away, Ron examined himself.

Strictly speaking, it was an examination of the body of the room's owner—Azkar.

His consciousness has now entered Azkar's body.

The people around him were not the others chosen to enter the End Realm for the trial, but... Azkar's former teammates.

What was unfolding before their eyes was exactly what Azkar had experienced.

In that encounter, he was the only one in the entire team who survived until reinforcements arrived.

This became a lingering pain in his heart, and on his deathbed, he recreated this scene as a test for the room.

Those who enter this gate must, in the guise of Azkar, protect the lives of all their teammates from the clutches of a seventh-tier skeletal behemoth in order to pass.

"coming!"

The captain's voice suddenly became extremely solemn.

Ron looked up.

They saw a colossal skeletal beast, resembling a centipede, with a massive spine as its axis and countless ribs and claws wrapped around it, charging towards them.

"Azkar, enhance my physical strength and defense!" the captain shouted, gripping his greatsword tightly as he charged toward the skeletal behemoth.

Strengthening... As Ron thought of this, a huge amount of information appeared in his mind.

Word magic is a secret art that allows language to carry power.

Its foundation lies in the world's response to language. Spoken words form an implicit contract with the rules of the world. The more precise and rule-compliant the expression, the more it can leverage real-world forces.

For example, if you say "burn" to the element of fire, and it aligns with the element's fundamental will, the fire will obey the command.

However, this power is not free; it comes at the cost of the caster's mental strength, vitality, and even memories. The more powerful the incantation, the more likely the price will exceed the caster's capacity to bear it.

This kind of self-harming skill is generally not something that anyone would learn, except for species with long lifespans and strong mental strength.

Is Ron's lifespan long? No. Is his mental strength strong? No.

Why did he choose the power of words?

Because he can use level increases to offset the cost of using Word of Power.

The total supply for leveling up is only about 100 times, so learning it isn't cost-effective.
error.

This thing isn't meant to be used as a basic attack, but rather as a finishing move.

His level increases are used to utilize forbidden incantations such as "Annihilation" and "Death".

One move, and the enemy is either dead or crippled.

He doesn't need a hundred chances; ten are enough for Ron.

He would not be forced to face more than ten powerful enemies, according to his code of conduct.

If it weren't for being targeted by the two main gods this time, such a passive situation would never have occurred in his life dictionary.

"Physical Enhancement! Defense Boost!"

Ron raised his hand towards the running captain and used the Word of Power in his mind.

Without the aid of a staff, the elements in the air would gather in response to a verbal command.

Two invisible forces instantly empowered the charging captain—increasing his attack and speed by a quarter, and his defense by a third.

The three stages of Word Magic: The Command Stage, which directly issues commands, such as "Still" or "Kneel," is suitable for targets without will or weak creatures.

During the blessing phase, the target's physical condition is either improved or deteriorated through continuous influence on the elements and spirit.

Poses like "physical enhancement" and "magical weakening" require a large amount of energy to maintain.

Finally, there is the Law stage, which requires the use of an ancient Esperanto and can temporarily distort local rules, such as "increasing gravity tenfold."

Ron is currently using mid-stage Word of Power.

With this fifth-stage body, he can only use mid-stage incantations.

bang——

There was a dull loud noise.

Even with the blessing of the Word of Power, the captain, a blond man, was still struck as if by a battering ram. In just one exchange, he was sent flying back at an even faster speed, crashing heavily onto the edge of the platform.

"Captain!" the three teammates cried out in terror.

Ron remained expressionless, not even glancing down, and calmly commanded, "Cecil, throw the Heart of Frost into the furnace."

"Huh?" Cecil, the archer in the group, was taken aback. The Frostheart was a treasure they had obtained after defeating the Ice Wolf King with great difficulty, and it was the culmination of their months of adventure.

Now Azkar made her throw it away.

"Stop dawdling, throw it away, and we'll have a chance to survive!" Ron shouted sharply as he watched the skeletal behemoth rapidly approaching.

A sixth-tier soldier leading four fifth-tier soldiers against a seventh-tier soldier is simply not going to win.

Fortunately, the owner of this room did not intend to kill the trial participant. The trial participant did not need to defeat the skeletal behemoth; he only needed to endure the ten minutes of "waiting for support" before he could fight in his true form.

That's simple, just use the formula.

"Surrender!"

Calculating the distance to the dragon, Ron cast a spell on the skeletal behemoth and then began to run quickly around the edge of the platform.

Such command spells could not affect the skeletal behemoth, but they were undoubtedly a blatant provocation.

The skeletal behemoth immediately changed direction and chased after Ron.

"Cecil, listen to Azkar!" the captain said hastily after seeing Azkar lure away the skeletal behemoth on his own.

With my life hanging by a thread, why should I care about this Frostheart?
“Yes…yes!” Cecil drew back his bowstring and aimed at the skeletal furnace in the center of the platform.

whoosh-

Frostheart, attached to the arrow, was precisely fired into the furnace through the gaps between the skeletons above.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ron had already been caught up by the skeletal behemoth. The ferocious bone head charged forward, and Ron couldn't dodge it at all within a few meters.

"jump!"

Ron uttered a single word, and his figure vanished from his spot, reappearing a few meters away.

"Leap" allows you to teleport to a location you were in within the last three seconds.

This is why Azkar survived that disaster.

Bang!
The skeletal behemoth crashed through the platform railing and soared into the air above the lava.

Just then, the Frostheart fell into the Bone Furnace.

hum-

The Bone Furnace emitted a deep hum, and the dark red light at its core flickered briefly.

The enormous body, soaring above the lava, suddenly froze.

"fall!"

Almost simultaneously, Ron cast his Word of Power on the skeletal behemoth.

The skeletal behemoth, briefly rendered powerless, immediately plunged into the lava like iron and lead.

"Roar--"

The skeletal behemoth engulfed by the lava roared as it raised its head, trying to escape the lava, but its body was held back by countless bone claws extending from the lava.

"Destroy that furnace!"

Without pausing, Ron ran towards the furnace, calling to his dazed teammates, and together they destroyed the furnace that the skeletal behemoth depended on for survival.

Thud! Thud thud...

The five men relentlessly bombarded the furnace with their attacks.

More than three minutes later, the skeletons on the furnace were scattered like cacti, losing their original orderly beauty.

"Roar--"

A massive shadow loomed overhead as the skeletal behemoth finally broke free of its restraints.

"return to!"

Ron immediately ordered several of his teammates to leave the vicinity of the furnace.

The skeletal behemoth ignored them, its attention fixed on Ron in front of the skeletal furnace.

Ron was fearless. When he saw the skeletal behemoth swooping down, he immediately hid on the other side of the furnace and used a move that resembled the King of Qin circling a pillar.

In order not to damage the furnace, the skeletal behemoth slowed down its charge.

In this way, Ron successfully stalled for another minute or so.

Having failed to inflict any effective damage, the skeletal behemoth changed its attack method, its body circling the furnace crevice from above as it relentlessly pursued the attacker.

This tactic was very effective, and Ron quickly lost his space to move around near the furnace.

but……

bang——

Just as it successfully forced Ron away from the furnace, the Frostheart inside the furnace, which had burned out, exploded.

The entire furnace was suddenly pushed open by a huge impact force.

Although it was not broken, the messy, intertwined skeletons on it actually held the skeletal behemoth firmly in place on the furnace.
