Episode 145
– [Notice] Arcia Chronicles 100th day commemorative update details (Battle island new area open sailing content day content open)
“Hmm.”
Damian looked at the system window that popped up in front of him and wiped his chin.
The notice in front of him was also resweet (shared) on AC’s official website and Evertale’s official website.
The content of the announcement is approximately a short recommendation message left by Hannibal Zimmer, CEO of Evertail, and AC’s service history and achievement records are introduced in a nice video.
– Go to a wider world! Sailing content through the vast ocean! Defeat unknown lands and monsters hidden beyond the continent and become the hero of the sea!
– Open the twisted dimension door! Defeat the monsters that come from the dimensional gates that open each day of the week, obtain rare goods, and craft new equipment!
– Battle Island appeared! Survive the battle between Umbala and Targon, the primordial giants guarding the Dimension Gate!
– New region Arno West open! Discover the mysteries of the beginning of Pokhara, the city of the alpine region!
And when Damian saw the update due to this patch as a trailer, he noticed that the first update he experienced in his previous life and the current update were slightly different.
First of all, there were survival-type events like < Island of Battle > in my previous life, but they were never released under the name of Island of Battle.
The first reason why he tilted his head was that the location of the event and the logic of the overall rules were something he had never seen before.
The second is that the western part of < Arno Kingdom > is currently blocked by the Kurast Mountains, which are as rugged as the Himalayas.
There were rumors that it was an unrealized area because there were so many bad weather and monsters that even most high-level rankers would click their tongues.
This is because the alpine city < Pokhara >, which is a base camp that can cross the mountain range, has been updated, and the activity radius of adventurers has been further expanded.
“Of course, it’s only the beginning, but… the opening of Pokhara means that many explorer classes are going to attack the Kurast Mountains. Then Nuelica’s existence may be known sooner than expected. Attacking the Kurast Mountains would take half a year at the earliest. If the sailing content is also patched, Jushin will be able to come and go.”
“What is the owner muttering to himself like that!”
As Damian dipped his fork into the sausage and brought it to his mouth, Munch asked, pulling his face away from the bag of nuts.
It was a corner of the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
The place Damian headed after parting ways with Kiran was none other than a village at the end of the Utah Mountains, one of the kingdoms of Arno.
Damian, who was originally going to pass through the Kirikorum swamp and break through the roof of the continent to head to the central continent, made the decision to change his destination and head south.
It was a decision that was not very unrelated to the Evertale patch.
In the first place, he wanted to go to the depths of the continent located in the southwest of the Kingdom of Terra in order to proceed with the hidden story quest with his growth speed and mercenary activities.
As long as numerous contents that can be moved immediately using warp gates in nearby large cities have been updated at once.
There was no reason to insist on a story quest that took a lot of time and effort and give up the rewards everyone else got.
This time, they felt the need to further solidify their position in Otube and Switch by quickly targeting the newly updated contents.
“hmm. I’ll be busy in the future. I see things are progressing faster than I thought.”
While Munchhi was busy eating snacks, Damian was lost in thought. In his mind, the words he had heard before parting ways with Kiren were passing by.
It could be said that it was an extension of the meaningless warning < Beware of the beast within you > after he suffered a blackout in a duel with Kiran.
It was clearly a warning of a different kind from the power he had absorbed from the Cross Dawning Society, and at the same time, it could be said to penetrate his own problems.
“Someday, when the moment comes when the darkness inside of you surpasses your strength… the day will come when you cannot control your own body.” “Whether that will
happen sooner or later is unknown.”
“Don’t forget. The moment you are swallowed up by what is inside of you, from that moment on, the darkness that even you cannot handle will consume you without a trace.
” It will completely encroach on your body and spirit so that no one can do it.”
“Beware of the darkness within you. What lies within you is deeper and more shady than that of the abyss, and hides its vile teeth on the other side of the boundary where even the powers of the end cannot reach.
” It is huge enough to swallow up even the seven evils of the beginning with one
bite.” It will be a lamp that illuminates your future path, and furthermore, the order of this world will stand right with you.” “
Remember that as long as you exist as you, the true master of the end will be with you until the end of the world.
” It was also the decisive reason for heading to the continent.
“…it can’t be helped. They say I’m going to be hospitalized for no reason, but I can’t just act like a tree frog.”
Scratch scratch!
Damian scratched the back of his head, remembering Karen’s message. It was because the emergency run I had experienced in the past suddenly came to mind.
Although most of Karen’s words were like catching floating clouds, to sum it up in one word, don’t know that the sky is high and don’t install it.
And, as Damian, who did not know that the cause was a problem derived from failing to erase his habits from the days of his dedication, he decided to stop throwing away his reason by attacking with evil every moment.
It seemed that he had decided to accept Karen’s warning.
There was a strong possibility that the reason why he faced the new limit of blackout was the < darkness comparable to that of the demon king > that Karen had warned about.
Now that it has been verified that it can happen by overdoing one’s strength enough to lose one’s will.
Damian didn’t want to be forced to take the risk of Abraxas, who must have been involved with the misinformation system.
In other words, the fact that his reckless play style—which must be called crazy—which he had been taking to relieve stress in the past—had been a problem, was not a good direction for character growth or personal health.
“Well, first of all… it doesn’t mean that you will die right away. You should be able to control yourself better.”
“Pia?”
Whoa!
When Damian took out the crystal ball from the subspace inventory, the mungchi turned its head.
It was a crystal ball that I had seen many times before.
It was also available in the Mage’s Tower of Alchemy, so it is used by many continental people in Arcia, including the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Ah, can you hear me?”
Chijijijik! Chijik!
And when Damian injected mana and spoke to the crystal sphere as if knocking, a familiar face began to emerge at the same time as the soft light enveloped the crystal sphere.
-The cub of XX XX like this dog XX X. Do XX for sure and do XXXX for XX. How dare you contact me… Hello?
“…Heeek?”
Maria Yones.
It was his exclusive manager.
* * *
– So you’re saying you’re curious about the anomalies currently being observed across the continent? It’s still noisy these days.
“Ah yes. yes. What is…?”
– But why haven’t you contacted me in the meantime? I think he didn’t contact me on purpose because he really wanted to see me die. I mean, I’ve been very sad all this time.
“Uh…”
– answered. Before I fly right there and kill him.
“I’m sorry. Wrong. I’ve been very busy in the meantime.”
Kwakwagwagwang!
When a bloody sound echoed from beyond the crystal ball, Damian responded quickly as if rapping.
It was because the space reflected in the crystal ball had turned into a rag like a typhoon.
After he went to the Duchy of Parma and went out of his way, Maria Yones was once again engulfed in a strange, unresolved desire.
For Maria, who knew very well that it was only the result of Damian’s absence.
For a while, I was feeling the limits of the murderous workload, beggarly complaints, and the flirtation of adventurers and continental people who didn’t know my subject.
It was the reason why she went into the gymnasium alone and gave the first strike like now.
Of course, I could get news of Damien from time to time from each adventurer’s branch, but as the general manager of Summon Gate and the head of the guild, she couldn’t just ask about her current situation like a crazy bitch.
As long as Hassan doesn’t allow Hassan to release the official combat mode for her, who is doing her own thing thoroughly—of course, the case involving Damian was an exception.
It was because he couldn’t abuse his maniacal desire to kill, openly called the < black rose >, to an unspecified number of people.
– Do you want to eat Twin Head Ogre Stew at my house? Then I’ll let you know.
“I beg your pardon?”
– No, just~. I can’t see Tong’s face these days. Compassionate. Do what you haven’t been able to do before. I haven’t seen your face in a long time.
“aha. Both sides and sides… that’s good.”
– Oh my, your face looks so weird. Why does it look so rigid? Did the crystal ball taste bad?
“…”
So Damian swallowed once at the sight of Maria examining the crystal ball with an innocent face.
I could instinctively feel a very dangerous energy—perhaps more than that of a twin-headed ogre— emanating from her.
Not only was her appearance through the crystal ball filled with something far from innocence, but something mad.
It was because he was drooling with his mouth wide open as if he was preoccupied with imagining something.
“Is that Maria?”
– …ah. look at my mind How far have we been talking?
“It’s an anomaly on the continent that has been seen lately.”
Churrup!
When Damian said this, Maria wiped her spittle in surprise. It must have been that I was out of my mind.
Maria, who had just been seen before, had disappeared as if it hadn’t happened before, and soon Maria took out her glasses and looked at the chart.
– Twisted Dimensional Gate. This is a report from the top of Leafre. This incident occurred while operating the newly established warp gate… At that time, the warp gate could not resonate with the magic stones and ran out of control. Not just in one place, but across the continent.
“You mean it happened simultaneously on the same day?”
– that’s right. It’s as if someone deliberately played a prank on them.
As Maria continued, Damian’s eyes lit up. Just like the contents of the announcement that could be confirmed at the Adventurer’s Guild, Maria knew everything about the < Twisted Dimensional Gate >.
Originally, in order to participate in < Twisted Dimensional Gate >, he would have to go to the guild and look at the gold level adventurer announcement, but as he is a platinum adventurer, there is no need to ask.
And at the same time as Maria’s words, Damian was able to confirm that a quest window appeared in front of his eyes.
[Notice: The quest < Twisted Dimensional Gate > has occurred!]
[Notification: Do you accept the quest?]
< Twisted Dimensional Gate >.
It was a dungeon he cleared every day in his previous life.
