Chapter 161 – Western City Morphea (1)

As we traveled west through Minercia, a large city finally came into view.

First, we came down to the ground far away from the city.

This is because there is nothing good about being discovered by Void within the city first.

As for the almost fight we had earlier, we’ll have to get together later and have a chance to tell each other what’s on our minds.

I’m planning to resolve everything and live together, but if we end up fighting over something as trivial as we are now, I’ll be in trouble.

We should talk carefully so that we can resolve it amicably.

First, let’s focus on what needs to be resolved now.

We decided to decide what to do first.

“I don’t think there’s any need to bring it out and go around.”

“That is correct. Our information may have already been passed on to Void.”

I nodded at Lien’s words.

“That may be true. First of all, the Void we met in the Frash Kingdom did not recognize us. That would mean that our information had not been passed on to the Void until then. But now, he must have vaguely noticed our existence. .”

Clearly, the Voids we saw in the Frash Kingdom did not recognize us.

It wasn’t until we told them that we had defeated the Infectors and the Voids that had fused with the Infectors in the Kingdom of Brittinya that we realized that they knew of their existence.

I knew that someone had stopped the Voids from plotting something for their own purposes in the Kingdom of Britinya or the Kingdom of Francia, but I didn’t know who that was.

Moreover, this time we were involved in the Frash Kingdom’s affairs and defeated Void.

And this time, it is an even bigger blow to Void than what happened in the other two kingdoms.

The powerful being who called himself a guardian and had fused with the level 100 raid monster Baccarat must have had no contact with him since he went to the Frash Kingdom.

Boyd, who realizes that it is not the child who is dead but an important person who has gone missing, must think that something strange is going on.

They must have come to the conclusion that the presence interfering with their work is no longer something they can ignore.

If we realize that there is a being that can harm us without knowing our true identity, the vigilance around us will inevitably rise.

There is no reason to advertise our existence here.

“What we need to do from now on is to secretly infiltrate that city and collect information about Void. I don’t think there’s anything good about us being revealed in the city for no reason.”

“I think Jinu is right. Let’s sneak in when it gets dark.”

Renia agreed with me.

“It would be problematic to investigate the Void after infiltrating. The easiest way to infer the location would be the location of the equipment indicated by the compass.”

I said, taking out a compass from my pocket.

When I looked at the compass resting in my hand, I saw that its needle was pointing toward that city.

Whether it is porridge or rice, the right thing to do would be to go into that city.

Is this compass pointing to equipment that can be used for summoning, or is it equipment that Void has already used?

Of course, I hope it is equipment that can be used for summoning.

If Void is in this city, this equipment will already be used.

I don’t know what they did, but Boyd seems to have a way to find these devices, such as a compass, so there’s no way they couldn’t have found the equipment in this city, their hideout.

“It would be great to have Elsha at times like this…”

“Elsha is the most specialized among us when it comes to infiltration. I think she could possibly infiltrate the city on her own and find out about Void.”

It might be because Elsha’s occupation was a rogue.

It is a job with a concept close to that of an assassin, and is capable of instantaneous fast movement and the ability to jump once more in the air with skills.

He also has a skill that allows him to momentarily slip into the shadows and evade an opponent’s attack, so it would be a perfect job for sneaking into a building and assassinating someone.

“It’s inevitable that we want someone who doesn’t exist right now. First, let’s follow the compass and check the equipment.”

“If you encounter a Void while infiltrating, it might be for the best. It could be evidence that there could be a Void hideout here.”

Surely that would be a really good situation.

“Of course, I plan to avoid battle as much as possible. Just in case… Something might happen, it would be safest for everyone to gather here and fight with all their might.”

“You’re talking about that guy named Arceus, right? I think you’re too worried. I don’t think there’s anything that can stand against our power anymore.”

As Renia said, our current military strength will be enough to deal with any enemy that comes forward.

It’s not just about combat power in the game.

Considering the increase in combat power due to Freyja’s buff shown in the Kingdom of Frash, there is no way for us to be an opponent.

The buff in the game only increased damage due to a simple stat increase, but that was not the only buff in reality.

Freya’s buff not only increased her stats, but also allowed her to further strengthen her skills.

For example, if you think about how Renia’s skill in creating spheres that shoot light lasers was able to create not just one sphere but many spheres, there would be a huge increase in combat power beyond what I could imagine.

Moreover, looking at everyone using the skill, they used it as if it were very natural, which means that this phenomenon also occurred when they received Freyja’s buff in the other world.

The pattern or strength of the demons I saw here did not deviate from the information I knew.

I was surprised when a demon and a human fused… Especially when two or more demons and a human fused together and used the patterns that two or more demons had, but I used the patterns I knew.

Until now, Demons and Voids have never shown a fighting ability that deviates from the strength or appearance I know.

It may be dangerous to make a decision based solely on this, but considering what we have shown so far, there is a high possibility that our combat power is more overwhelming than I think.

If the power of the voids increases through demons, the highest point is ultimately limited to the level 100 raid boss Modeus, and our power is stronger than in the game.

If so, we can win overwhelmingly.

But why is anxiety rising in a corner of my mind?

Because of this anxiety, I thought we should all come together and fight Void.

“Because you never know. Yubi Muhwan! There’s no harm in being prepared. I don’t want to imagine a future where everyone gets hurt or even… Dies.”

“Jinuni…”

“Master…”

“Oh God…”

Everyone who heard what I said looked at me with eyes that seemed touched.

“Hehe. It feels good to hear Jinu speak directly.”

Yuria came from behind and hugged me and said.

“Anyway, going back to what I said earlier, we will secretly infiltrate the city. And we will first look for equipment using the compass.”

“And what if we find traces of Void?”

I looked at Lien.

“In that case, Lien, I will ask you a favor. Let’s say Lien follows Boyd. The easiest person to move here while hiding her identity would be Lien.”

Among my current characters, including Ellie, Noah, and Rachel, who are currently in the Kingdom of Brittinya, Lien would be the one who can move quickly and infiltrate the country.

There is no need for her to have a special weapon on her body and she will be able to subdue her opponent without much movement.

She was considering close combat, but she also chose Lien with this in mind.

“I understand, my lord. Please leave it to me.”

Lien told me with a confident look on her face as she pounded her own chest with her fist, showing her breasts bouncing.

He probably felt good about the fact that I believed in him.

“Hmph, it would be nice for Lien. She is trusted by Jinu.”

Then, seeing Lenia’s jealous look, I placed my hand on Lenia’s head and stroked it.

“Of course, I have expectations from Renia as well. If an enemy of a level we can’t imagine appears, you, the strongest here, will have to buy time for us all to retreat. In that case, can I ask you a favor?”

When I told Lenia that I trusted her, her eyes lit up and she looked happy.

“Yes! I will do my best not to betray Jinu’s expectations!”

When I see someone express the joy they feel with their whole body simply by trusting and asking for something, it affects me and makes me feel good.

Of course, that shouldn’t happen.

I hope so.
