Chapter 30: Mission 2.
Cirean Kingdom palace, the crown prince is sitting on the throne, and beside him is his retainer. There are only two people in the throne room.
The crown prince, after taking care of the imposter, now has almost full control of the kingdom.
"How is the coronation ceremony progressing?" The crown prince asked the person in front of him.
"Your Highness, according to your order, it will be ready next week."
"Good." The crown prince smiles; no one can stop him, not even his second brother. I thought a few years ago he was going to lose his title. Fortunately, he moves fast to take care of everything.
"Your Highness, the federation has contacted us again and wanted to discuss it with Your Highness."
"Tell them I am busy; try to delay it." The crown prince at that time had no choice but to make a deal with the federation to take care of his father.
When he thought everything was going according to plan, it was already too late. because his father has been replaced by an imposter. The imposter has secretly sabotaged the kingdom.
Because of that, he needs to change his plan by disposing of the king's imposter. For his father's whereabouts, he doesn’t care, even if his father is still alive by that time, he has already become a new king.
"Your Highness, the monster tide in Sheffield City has been taken care of." The crown prince's retainer makes a complicated face.
"What happens?" The crown prince noticed his retainer's worried expression and asked
"The city has suffered great damage from the monster tide and the kingdom-flying warship."
"What do you mean?"
"According to the captain's report, you have the order to attack the city without worrying about civilian casualties."
"What? I never ordered that!"
"The order has come from the palace."
"There must be another Federation spy in the palace; find him!"
"Yes, your highness." The retainer bows his head and smirks without being seen by the crown prince.
While they were talking, they heard hurried footsteps and stopped talking. A soldier enters the throne room and kneels in front of the crown prince. Although he sees the crown prince sitting on the throne, he doesn’t say anything. Since the crown prince will be king soon.
"Your Highness, we have a problem! The monster tide that disappears from the border appears in various places in the kingdom!"
-
Violet forest inside a cave. Since the cave is dark, it’s hard to see. After the roar, a large creature silhouette appeared from the depths of the cave.
Levi raised his hand and conjured a fireball. They finally can see the creature; it was a black three-horned bear with a sheep horn and an ivory horn on the forehead.
Otis is already preparing to fight. While Levi and Clara are feeling the horn bear in front of them, it looks familiar.
Levi walks toward the horned bear.
"What are you doing? Stay back!" Otis shouted. Three-horned bears are stronger than one-horned bears and require many people to take them down.
Even with Clara, the best option is to flee. Although she absorbs master rank blood, she does not become a master rank overnight. If only it were that simple to achieve a master rank in the Acheron world. Any kingdom or organization can build an army of master mages or warriors by consuming blood.
Otis, seeing that Levi ignores his warning, is ready to throw a sleeping gas to flee. But Clara stops him. "What are you doing?"
"Don’t worry and watch."
The large horned bear pounced toward Levi. When Otis thought that Levi was going to get killed. The large horned bear is hugging Levi like a teddy bear.
"What is going on?" Otis's mouth is agape, and he doesn’t know what is going on.
"Didn’t I tell you before that Levi is a monster tamer? That is his monster." Clara crosses her arms and chuckles.
"Yes, yes, long time no see, Ben." Levi is shocked while struggling to escape from the bear hug; it looks like Ben has become strong.
After a while, Ben releases him, and spoke. "Levi cooks me food; I am starving."
From Otis and Clara perspective, they see Ben and Levi growling at each other.
Levi can only comply. Before that, Levi converted the master-rank corpses to death.
At night, inside a cave, a group of people and monsters are sleeping after eating. Ben told Levi about his experience before becoming a three-horn bear and going to sleep.
That night, Levi decided to begin the second mission. Sitting cross-legged near the cave wall, he closes his eyes.
[Mission: Survive in the unknown world.]
[Reward: Advance Magic Elements Manual.]
[Death point required: 5000 DP]
[Further detail will be added when the mission starts.]
[Death point collected: 8798.91 DP]
Just one master rank gives Levi 5000 DP, more than hunting the monster nest. They are lucky because the master rank is heavily injured, and with their strength, normally killing a master rank is suicide.
‘Begin," said Levi in his mind. This time, when his body becomes motionless, there is no mana gathering and entering his body like when he began the first mission. Because the reward this time does not involve mana energy.
Levi's consciousness appears in a chaotic space, and a familiar monotone voice can be heard.
["Hello, we see again."]
["Your mission is to survive for 30 years without your adept rank power."]
["One minute in the Acheron world is equivalent to one year in the Tianxia world."]
["If you die in the Tianxia world, you will die in real life."]
["More detail will be transferred once the mission begins."]
Levi wanted to say something, but nothing came out. This is different from the last mission when he still had his apprentice rank. His consciousness disappears into the chaotic space.
["Beginning creating the human body."]
Suddenly, the chaotic space begins to distort, but it quickly returns to normal.
["Creating the human body failed."]
["Interference from the Tianxia world consciousness."]
["Preventing the soul from getting destroyed."]
["Random body created."]
["Emergency temporary evolution ability created."]
["Mission time extended."]
["Begin Negotiation with Tianxia World Will."]
-
In Tianxia World, near a river, the soil begins to move, and a small eastern box turtle head comes out from underground. One by one, they come out of the ground and head into the river. However, before the turtle safely enters the water, a few creatures will capture the small turtle and eat it. Even a crab manages to capture and kill the small turtle.
While the small turtle gets eaten. A small turtle head coming out of the soil slightly different from his sibling does not go straight to the river. The turtle is not moving and is observing everything that is happening. Only when the line is clear does the small turtle run toward the river and hide under the lotus leaf.
"Shit!" That is the only word that comes out of Levi's mouth. When he is inside the turtle egg, much information enters his head. Something unthinkable happens: the mission difficulty from normal mode suddenly turns to hard mode since he lost his adept rank power. And because of the Tianxia world's interference, it becomes brutal mode.
Not only did Levi become a turtle, but his mission to survive for 30 years has also been doubled to 60 years.
"It looks like my past bad luck has finally appeared." Levi quickly snaps out of his reverie and begins to think about how to survive. Fortunately, the voice at least gives him something.
-
A few days later, a small eastern box turtle is eating a grasshopper that has fallen into the river. With just a few bites, the turtle finished consuming the grasshopper.
[0.3+]
A point is added to his evolution point.
Levi has already gotten used to his turtle body, and after seeing there is no more food, he returns to his hiding place. Near the riverbank, there is a small hole that he found and decided to make his temporary home. Entering the small hole, he closes his eyes and checks his evolution ability.
[Evolutionary species path.]
-
[Change species: Baby Eastern Dragon.]
[Cost: 3000 evolution points.]
-
[Change species: Baby Water Dragon.]
[Cost: 2000 evolution points.]
-
[Change species: baby dragon turtle.]
[Cost: 1000 evolution points.]
-
[Change species: Baby Wyrm.]
[Cost: 700 evolution points.]
-
[Change species: baby water drake.]
[Cost: 500 evolution points.]
-
[Evolution Point: 17]
Levi's hope to survive is to evolve into another species. To get to the evolution point, he needs to eat, and the good thing is he can eat nonstop without getting full. Because he has tried eating a large dead fish before.
Another good news is that he can become an apprentice mage or warrior again. Although the energy in this world is different from mana, it’s still enough for him to break through. However, it will still take him several weeks or months to enter the initial stage of apprentice rank.
"I need to find a large prey, but with this body, I will become the prey instead." Levi has been thinking about how he should get more evolution points. "Should I take the risk and explore the river?" Levi opens his eyes and looks outside the hole. The river he has stayed in should be connected to a large river.
Outside the hole, suddenly something large fell into the river, and Levi could sense the smell of blood.
