Guild Boss's Ambition

I asked, "Besides me, are there other human races in this elemental world?"

Perseus replied: "No, you are the only human."

I asked, "Do you hate the human race?"

Perseus was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked me, "Why do you ask this?"

I followed my own thoughts and explained, "Because according to what you said, isn't it because of the magical activities of humans in the Yang World that the filthy beasts appeared in the elemental world? If it weren't for us humans, you wouldn't have to take the risk of fighting those monsters. If you died today, wouldn't it be the same as if humans killed you?"

"That's very sweet of you, but—"

Perseus said in a nostalgic tone: "That person ordered me to defend this pass to the death. If I die as the guard, the beasts will all pour into the world of the living. Unless they use a specific method, the creatures in the world of the living will not be able to resist the power of the void. At that time, the world will be devoured by the beasts once again."

Again?

My heart skipped a beat when I noticed Perseus's choice of words.

I asked worriedly, "Who is so unreasonable to leave you here alone?"

Perseus defended him, "Don't say that. She has never left me. She is just using another way to protect the world she loves. It is my long-cherished wish to follow her will for eternity."

"She?" I asked curiously, "She sounds very beautiful. Do you like her?"

Perseus did not evade the question and said bluntly: "She is a girl who loves all things. Although she is not very good-looking, she is very beautiful. Everything in this elemental world loves her."

"Does such a perfect person really exist?"

I tried hard not to laugh, but Perseus said seriously, "Yes, she is real, even better than what I described. There is nothing more worthy of pride than being a hero under her command. No matter how many years have passed, her original intention has never changed. She is our most loyal companion."

companion……

When I heard this term, I couldn't help but feel homesick.

"Perseus... sir? Just now you seemed to have said that you knew the way back to the living world. Can you take me there?"

"can."

Perseus agreed unconditionally: "I will escort you to the Gate of Reality and Illusion. It is only nightfall now, so there is still plenty of time. I believe we can arrive within one night."

"Really?!" I was overjoyed.

"Please come up──" The giant stretched out his hand to me.

I immediately stood on Perseus' palm, and he gently placed me on his shoulders. His shoulders were very broad, and even though it was moving, I couldn't feel much shaking. The rocky scent it exuded also made me feel unusually peaceful. My intuition trusted it very much, and I believed that it would not endanger my safety.

We left the cave within the cave where we met, and when we stepped out of the cave, I was shocked to find that this blue night was full of dangers. Everywhere were the foul beasts that Perseus had mentioned. When they saw the two of us, those strange-looking beasts rushed towards us like crazy. Each of them was incredibly powerful.

And Perseus, who fought against them, was as brave as an ancient Titan.

As soon as the giant swung his sword, the filthy beasts that appeared within our sight fell apart in large numbers.

You know, each of those fallen beasts is as strong as Miss Lola!

"Am I dreaming?"

Riding on the God-killing Titan, I felt like nothing was real.

I asked in admiration, "Perseus, you are so strong, how come you were injured just now?"

Perseus charged into the army of filth with unstoppable force and replied calmly, "Perhaps it's because the wind and sand are so refreshing? I feel much better. Throughout the ages, I have always been the strongest warrior on earth. The world uses me to continuously eliminate evil forces, so that the elemental magic of each plane can reach a balance."

Seeing Perseus's godlike fighting skills, I couldn't help but feel elated while riding on his shoulders. I pointed my finger at the thousands of monsters in front of me and shouted, "Perseus! See that big guy? It looks like the leader. Let's go and kick it!"

The giant slashed out with a sword that looked like a mirage and replied calmly, "As you wish."

48. The Gate of Reality and Illusion (Taimi)

(Taimi-Moni)

Set out towards the mountains, and wherever the sword reaches, you will be invincible.

Perseus seems to have the bravery of Hercules. From what he has said along the way, I guess he has lived on this land for a long time. He is very old and is an unknown hero. Throughout the ages, people have liked to use the names of heroes of their predecessors to express their own ambitions. I just don't know which Perseus here is worshipping another Perseus.

The unstoppable Perseus strode forward steadily, and we slowly came to a space even more vast than the forest we had just been to. There was also a blue sky here, woven by endless blue light insects. The earth was endless, and there was a dead silent mountain standing directly north of us. We were going to climb the highest peak.

"The gate of reality and illusion is on the mountain."

"It seems very dangerous there."

Looking at the nameless mountain in the distance, my heart tightened heavily.

Perseus said in a distant voice, "Where is the most ferocious beast? I think its power has grown far beyond mine over the years. In order to prevent her from returning, it has been guarding and blocking the door to reality. Wait a minute, I will show up to lead it away. You must seize the opportunity, go around behind it, and find the door to reality."

When I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw the beast that Perseus feared. It was indeed the most ferocious monster, a giant dragon with nine heads. It kept emitting terrible dragon power, which scared away all the other beasts around. It soon noticed Perseus and me, and all nine heads turned to look towards us.

With a strong enemy ahead, Perseus finally had to put me down. He pointed to a mountain road and said, "Wait until I come into contact with the Filthy Dragon King, then you will go up that mountain road. There are our companions on the mountain, and they will guide you to find the location of the Gate of Reality and Illusion on my behalf. It will be a difficult task, but I believe you can do it."

Looking at the nine-headed evil dragon on the mountain from afar, I was filled with fear and not even a bit of confidence.

However, at this point, I had no way out. Perseus soon left my side and began to act alone according to the plan. Compared with the two evil dragons on the mountain, even though Perseus was three meters tall, he was still as small as a fly. This situation was like Hercules fighting against the nine-headed Hydra.

But Perseus was always Perseus.

Its power was not as strong as the nine-headed filthy dragon, and its scorching dragon breath almost melted the giant's helmet. But despite being at a disadvantage, Perseus was not completely powerless to fight back. Perhaps it really had a head of Medusa hidden, and whenever in danger, it could always petrify the head of the filthy dragon and avert the danger.

Unfortunately, Perseus could only petrify one head at a time.

Furthermore, the petrified head of the Filthy Dragon would soon be devoured by other dragon heads, and then a new dragon head would grow on its neck. In terms of self-healing ability, the Filthy Dragon could completely rival the legendary Hydra. Precisely because of this foul characteristic, Perseus, knowing that he had no chance of winning, simply took a defensive stance and tried to buy time for me.

While watching the battle from a distance, I was actually not idle either.

From the very beginning, I gritted my teeth and ran towards the mountain path indicated by Perseus. This mountain is the most difficult one to climb in my impression. There are basically no trees and no traces of animals. If you just climb up blindly, you will easily be trapped by the steep cliffs halfway and be forced to turn back.

Now, every minute and every second of my time was fought for by Perseus. It was always at a disadvantage or would be knocked down in the next moment. I had no spare time at all. At this moment, my mind was much clearer than ever before. Without taking any detours, I successfully reached the mountain road that Perseus pointed out.

The companions that Perseus mentioned had been waiting at the starting point of the mountain road for a long time.

It was a small stone monster with two legs and one eye.

Although the stone did not speak, I could still clearly feel its excitement and kindness. It first ran around me happily, and then shot towards a higher mountain with amazing jumping power like an arrow. Knowing that it was leading the way for me, I immediately followed it. At this moment, the ground shook and large rocks rolled down the mountain one after another.

Due to the falling rocks from above, the path the little boulder monster takes to climb the mountain has changed. As far as it itself is concerned, it still seems to be able to do it with ease, but I, who am following behind it, have to jump hard from time to time. Several times I was almost hit by falling rocks or fell off the cliff. Fortunately, I managed to save the day in the end.

After I felt that I had successfully broken through the limits of the human body hundreds of times, the abnormal earthquake finally stopped temporarily. With the pressure greatly reduced, I had more time to observe the battle situation of Perseus. Its condition was very bad. Although its figure was still agile and nimble, it looked like it only had one leg and one arm. It seemed that it would not be able to hold on for long.

"Faster, faster! Perseus, it's almost dying!"

Hearing my panicked shouts, the little pebble monster also glanced over with its one eye. After realizing that the situation on its side was unfavorable, the little pebble monster also became anxious. It immediately gave up those easy mountain roads and challenged the limits of the human body with me once again. After such a thrilling journey, I seemed to have become a seasoned climbing expert.

Have you ever felt the fear of having to hold onto the edge of a cliff with one hand every time you land?

By the way, sometimes the corner will suddenly collapse, giving you a second falling surprise.

"OK! No problem! I can definitely do it!"

Along the way, I always maintained firm faith until I encountered this abyss.

It was a bottomless abyss that was thirty meters wide, and I had to pass through it.

There are two ways to get through it. The first is the way taken by the little pebble monster. The little guy, which is only the size of a palm, seems to have endless power in his feet. With just a light tap of his feet, it can land on the cliff thirty meters away.

As a normal human being, I naturally cannot act like it.

The only possible method for me is to use a dead bamboo lying on the cliffs on both sides.

"What kind of idiot is so stupid as to use a piece of bamboo like this as a bridge?"

Since there is not a single bamboo within a hundred miles, and the two ends of the bamboo are specially processed and nailed to the cliff, I conclude that this bamboo is a man-made product. But now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Perseus below has evolved into a headless knight in the fierce battle. If it continues like this, I am really worried that it will be smashed into a human stick for helping me.

“Ah! Just die!”

"Come on!"

With the courage of a soldier crossing the river, I held on to the bamboo tightly from a thousand feet in the air and slowly crawled forward like a caterpillar. The scene looked stupid, but it was very effective. To put it nicely, I successfully reached the other side with my eyes closed.

Stare

After regaining the strength to stand on my feet, the little pebble monster also cast a contemptuous look at me.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you lead the way for me? Do you want to kill Perseus?"

I shouted in shame and anger, and the little pebble monster shrank its non-existent neck, jumped up the mountain quickly again, and just as I had expected, this section of the journey had come to an end. The little pebble monster soon stopped in front of a mountain wall. It was a strange mountain wall, and the pattern on it clearly conveyed to me the taste of "incident".

I stopped on the mountain wall, took a quick look around, and found that the mountain wall was a puzzle of mechanisms.

According to my speculation, this mountain wall should be a door. This mechanical door will only open if the puzzle on the mountain wall is solved. However, the texts and patterns on the mountain wall are all things I don’t recognize. Compared to puzzle games, I think the extreme operation of jumping up and down is the type of game that really suits me.

"Very good, we can go back and tell Perdeseus that we are retreating."

"squeak!"

I was about to back off, but the little pebble monster suddenly screamed, and started crashing into a two-meter-high marble on the mountain wall. It hit the marble so hard that even its own smooth surface was worn away. I quickly caught it to stop its self-harming behavior, and then guessed its intention, and slapped my hand on the marble.

Results

Nothing happened.

Then, the little pebble monster broke free from my hand and started attacking the marble again.

"Okay, be good! Don't mess around. Do you want to destroy this marble? Wait for me."

Feeling a little sorry for the pebble monster, I caught it again. Since I didn't have any suitable tools at hand, I just picked up a stone from the ground and hit the marble. But the marble was as hard as diamond, and no matter how hard I hit, there was no scratch on it. Seeing what I did, the pebble monster continued to hit the marble at the cost of its life.

Watching the little guy's repeated hints, I estimated the hardness of the marble and the hardness of my head, and finally swallowed my saliva.

"Just die!"

I gritted my teeth and charged towards the marble!

"Eh? No pain?"

In a full-force charge, I actually passed through the marble and entered the interior of the mountain wall.

Inside the mountain wall is a cave similar to an altar. A huge and complicated magic circle is painted on the floor of the cave. In the center of the magic circle is a gorgeous ancient brown door. That is probably the door of reality and illusion that Perseus told me about. At this moment, the door of reality and illusion is closed, and there are many disgusting tentacle monsters entangled on it.

Those tentacles are foul beasts.

I suppressed my nausea and took out a dagger to cut the tentacles. However, as Perseus said, ordinary humans had no way to harm void creatures. The dagger passed through the tentacles without any sense of reality, unable to touch the beasts or cut them. Afterwards, I tried some basic magic such as fireball, but even that failed.

"Void creature...ah! Got it!"

At this moment, I remembered the gift Miss Lannong gave me.

I tried to take out that useless rubbish beam sword, which I heard could only be used under the sun, but it actually lit up under the illumination of the blue light bugs. Then, I went a step further and experimented with it on those void tentacles. The wonderful fluorescent green burned the tentacles into ashes in an instant, freeing the bound door of reality and void.

I opened the door with excitement.

Before I could react, a wave of brilliant light surged out from the door and swallowed me up completely.

In the light, I seemed to hear a familiar voice: "Goodbye, my friend."

49. Portal (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

In the afternoon, the school staff came to me urgently.

I originally thought that something had happened to Lian'er again, but this time the problem was with the new poster girl - Taimi.

Although the degree of concern varies, I don't wish to see anyone encounter misfortune.

The person who came to report to me was Miss Doris, our homeroom teacher.

My first thought was, "You said, our Taimi is missing? Was she kidnapped by someone?"

Miss Doris explained with a serious expression: "To be honest, this is not a kidnapping case, but a school bullying case. A few naughty students used teleportation magic on Taimi, but the magic went wrong during the casting process. They mistakenly teleported Taimi to an unknown location. Here is a copy of the magic circle diagram. Is Miss Bai Ye here?"

School bullying?

Hearing this unusual term, I couldn't help but frown.

I glanced at Lian'er with displeasure. Also present were Tris and Huabi. They had never mentioned the situation to me. Seeing them playing happily together every day, I never thought that such a low-level social ecology existed in their class. If they had told me about the situation earlier...

Forget it, now is not the time to pursue responsibility.

After learning about Taimi's condition, I immediately found Bai Ye. We were lucky because Bai Ye would have to go on a long trip in a few hours. In a case like this involving space magic, a necromancer who is proficient in all kinds of spells is definitely more useful than any policeman. And the reason why Doris came to the Stone House was most likely because of Bai Ye.
