Chapter 438: Soukai Mountain, Holy God?
Chapter 438: Soukai Mountain, Holy God? Light Lion? Ryujinmaru?
The laser beam’s destruction wasn’t limited to the toad. Dusty Furina stabilized herself and seized the opportunity, releasing a greatsword of water from the smoke that cut off the monster’s head. Only after confirming the points were credited did she relax. "That was really thrilling..."
[Fufu: Exusiai, thank you!]
[Exusiai: No problem.]
[Aqua: Water God? That’s all?] Although she knew Fufu wasn’t a traditional god, Aqua would still retort. However... a toad. Tsk, it reminds me of a certain disgusting monster.
[Tsunade: Ren, what’s going on? Fighting a monster alone?]
[Ren: My power exceeds the game’s limit, so I’ve been judged as an over-spec player. The level rules are probably to restrict me from farming points outside.]
[Kushina: Ah? Then won’t you get any benefits?]
[Ren: Not really. I have a separate Demon King challenge. This arrogant guy is a Demon King. Killing him will also earn points. Most importantly, I found a game bug.]
[Silver Wolf: Oh? A game of this significance can have bugs?]
[Ren: That’s right. The rules state I can’t get points by killing monsters through conventional means.]
[Silver Wolf: So you found an unconventional method.]
[Exusiai: His method is too exaggerated! Summoning hundreds of thousands of angels!]
[Nami: Hundreds of thousands?]
[Esdeath: Killing monsters with his angels to earn points.]
[Ren: That’s right.]
[Mikoto Suoh: What level is the lion monster?]
[Ren: Level seven. Its strength is roughly similar to Esdeath’s current strength.]
[Esdeath: Oh?] She was surprised. This foolish monster possessed the ability to destroy a star system?
"3! 2! 1! You damn human, how dare you despise this lord! Die!" The Barbarian King’s mane fluttered.
Facing the greatsword that came crashing down, Ren neither dodged nor avoided. Gluttony!
A blood-colored mouth emerged from the ground and swallowed it in one gulp. The mouth wriggled as if chewing. A few seconds later, it spat out some things like watermelon seeds: a set of dim armor, a greatsword, and some bone fragments. As they hit the ground, they crumbled into dust. All energy within them had been purified. What disappointed Ren was that this guy was purely a brute, with only a negligible amount of Primal Energy. As expected, trash.
[Sakata Gintoki: It’s solved just like that? What about the big battle?]
[Vivi: Although it was a bit sudden, Ren is super strong, you know.]
[Ren: Mainly, this lion is too weak. But the reward is really good.]
[Ding! Congratulations to Outlier Player Ren for completing the first-level Demon King challenge! Gained 25 million survival points!]
[Returning to the first level in 30 seconds!]
[Bronya: Are those a lot of points?]
[Ren: Yes, 25 million points.]
[Tokisaki Kurumi: ???] 25 million? 500,000 was enough to make her this much stronger. For a moment, she was extremely envious.
[Momonga: Big boss! Earning 25 million so easily! Truly worthy of a big boss!]
[Silver Wolf: Tsk, this game is too good.]
[Thank you...]
The sudden voice made Ren pause. He looked up. A green light was converging, gradually taking shape. A... green lion?
"This shouldn’t be. The Barbarian King’s energy was purified by me." As he frowned, he realized this was a soul about to dissipate.
[I am not the Barbarian King. I am the Holy God of the first layer of Soukai Mountain, the Light Lion. Thank you for saving my soul... All I can give you is this...]
The Light Lion’s soul glowed, condensing into a red magatama that floated into Ren’s hand. This time, it was truly dead.
Just at this moment, 30 seconds were up. Ren, who had closed the live broadcast, was teleported back. "..." His mind was still pondering the words.
"Soukai Mountain, Holy God... it feels so familiar." Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide. "Mashin Hero Wataru?" If he remembered correctly, that series had the concepts of Creation God and Holy God, and the first layer was just a green lion-man, right?
[Inorin’s Note: Mashin Hero Wataru is a classic mecha anime series featuring a fantasy world called Soukai-zan (Mt. Soukai in the text), which is divided into seven layers, each ruled by a boss.]
But how did the Doomsday Game get involved with Soukai Mountain? Creation God Mountain and Soukai Mountain... What was going on with those monsters?
He put away the magatama. The answer could only be found on the second level.
