Chapter 391 - 245: The Filth That Pollutes the Fearless (Double-length)
However, things weren’t as Rogel thought.
[In the fierce battle, the forest behind Qina Island was almost leveled, sharp claws tearing through the island, allowing seawater to pour in.]
[The Tooth Spirit raged, unleashing all its might.]
[But it still couldn’t defeat the battle-hardened Qina.]
[How could a hyena sucking on the putrid blood behind a corpse be a match for the once-fearless warrior?]
[The giant wolf Qina was already gravely injured, but it still pinned the Tooth Spirit under its paw.]
"Brother Wolf is awesome."
Rogel felt a wave of comfort in his heart.
If Qina were really defeated by this guy, that would be disgusting.
[However, just as the Tooth Spirit was about to meet its end, an unexpected event occurred.]
Alright, the unexpected happened as expected.
Rogel’s mouth twitched.
[The Tooth Spirit pleaded loudly, begging for mercy.]
[But Qina was unmoved, baring its sharp teeth, ready to rip out its throat.]
[Yet a ruthless glint flashed in the Tooth Spirit’s eyes, and it began chanting obscure incantations.]
[This made the soul within Qina tremble, and a tearing pain swept through the entire body.]
[The Tooth Spirit seized the opportunity to plead again, informing Qina that if it were killed, Sela, who was fused with Qina, would also die, and her soul would cease to exist.]
[You endured the pain and shouted loudly.]
[Kill this fiend, but die without regrets/Don’t kill it, spare me]
"Damn, how dare you choose like that."
Rogel was furious, looking down on whom?
He made the choice without hesitation.
[You endured the tearing of your soul and loudly called out to Qina to ignore you and quickly bite this despicable being to death.]
[Qina was silent for a moment, then bit down on the Tooth Spirit’s neck.]
[Seeing this, the Tooth Spirit closed its eyes in despair, and moments later, it finally died.]
[At the same time, your soul began to tear apart, suffering immensely, and your consciousness started to blur...]
[...]
[After a long time, you opened your eyes, looking at your bare body, feeling somewhat bewildered.]
Seeing this, Rogel’s heart skipped a beat.
Sela didn’t die?
In an instant, he had a suspicion in his mind.
Soon, his suspicion was confirmed.
[You tried to search for the Stone of Qina and Qina, and soon you saw another body in front of you.]
[At this time, Qina had already detached from your body, lying in front, weak and powerless.]
[Undoubtedly, this powerful and fearless warrior Qina did not permit your sacrifice, choosing to let you live.]
[As you were in confusion, a terrifying aura spread once more.]
[The corpse of the Tooth Spirit, which had no signs of life left, actually stood up again at this moment.]
"I rose from the filthy, yet you will die in pride..."
[With those words, to your terror and despair, it approached Qina from behind and began devouring Qina’s flesh, mouthful by mouthful...]
[Blood still dripped from the Tooth Spirit’s neck.]
[Dirty black oil seeped from its body, matting the fur, and the scabbed blood seemed like the world’s foul pollution, its flesh rotting, with pus oozing out...]
[Pollution spread at this moment, as Qina Island, like a fallen mighty wolf, was engulfed by filth.]
[The land of Qina Island resembled scabbed blood, crimson and dark...]
[Fortresses and roads grew dark brown hair like brambles, houses turned into rotting flesh, lakes filled with viscous black oil, mountains turned into ulcers, and they spewed a foul miasma that obscured the sky...]
[You, in a scream of despair, died, and this sound echoed on Qina Island for a long time...]
[Exploration: 100%]
[Ending Achieved: The Filthy Pollution of the Fearless.]
[Scene Unlocked: Isle of Filth.]
[With the exploration reaching 100% this time, you can explore again or temporarily exit the Lamp of the Dying and wait for the next entrance.]
[Rewards will be distributed soon.]
Looking at the string of notification messages appearing on the phone screen.
Rogel couldn’t feel happy, he took a deep breath and punched the bed hard.
"Bang—"
The bed collapsed.
"Oh hell, was that an earthquake?"
The neighbor downstairs, busy with their craft, trembled and was scared half to death.
Rogel quickly stood up, looking at the broken support structure beneath the bed.
At this moment, his mood had calmed down, and he scratched his head.
Luckily, I didn’t use my full strength, only the bed collapsed, otherwise, it’d be a problem if the floor gave way.
Need to get a new bed...
From now on, better be careful, after all, my body is that of an extraordinary being.
Then, Rogel returned his attention to the game.
"That damn hyena is truly disgusting."
He still felt a bit frustrated, as that Tooth Spirit actually survived until the end.
But now he had no choice, he could only check out other information.
"So the scene within the Lamp of the Dying doesn’t have just one ending?"
Rogel pondered, thinking that if there were no alternative endings, the game would not have presented a hint like this.
"Let’s exit for now and see what that unlocked scene is about."
Rogel was eager to keep exploring, but there was no rush, as he could continue anytime.
[Exited the Lamp of the Dying.]
After exiting the Lamp of the Dying, Rogel’s game character returned to that enclosed room.
But shortly after he returned, a wall suddenly moved.
Rumble...
The heavy sound of the wall moving echoed.
Moments later, a deep, dark door appeared in front of him.
Once the door appeared, the surrounding walls were polluted, showing bloodstains and some clump-like hairs that made one uncomfortable at the sight.
This must be the newly unlocked scene, [Isle of Filth].
This also helped Rogel understand the arrangement of this cave.
By achieving a specific ending in the Lamp of the Dying, a new cave scene could be unlocked.
So that’s how it is...
Initially, he thought the cave’s content was to explore the Lamp of the Dying for rewards.
Understanding this point, Rogel looked towards the Lamp of the Dying beside him.
Currently, two rays of light appeared on the Lamp of the Dying and then fell in front of Rogel.
[Items bestowed.]
The first looked like a bottle, and the latter was a wolf fang.
[You have acquired: Bone Purification Bottle ×1.]
[You have acquired: Qina Fang ×1.]
The tooth of Qina.
Rogel, curious, picked it up for examination.
[Qina Fang]
[Type: Special Material]
[Quality: Golden]
[Tier: Deputy]
[Special Effect: Has a certain dispelling effect on filth and dirt.]
[Explanation: The fang of the legendary totem creature from Qina Island, containing special power. It’s a natural weapon, and with a skilled artisan, it could be crafted into something outstanding.]
As an extraordinary artisan, Rogel immediately recognized that this material was very rare; to make it into a dagger, not much processing would be necessary.
Next up was the [Bone Purification Bottle].
[Bone Purification Bottle]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Quality: Golden]
[Special Effect: Upon consumption, removes accumulated filth from the body and grants immunity to filth erosion for a period. (3/3)]
[Explanation: A bottle assembled from the remnants of a severely filthy being after feeding itself, initially meant to contain filth, but turned into a purification vessel after the addition of a Pure Bone.]
It seems these two items are probably intended as tools against the Tooth Spirit.
But honestly, even with these two items, Rogel felt that the Isle of Filth scene would not be easy.
From the previous information, Qina’s power after merging with Sela is at the Deputy Tier.
Although the Tooth Spirit couldn’t defeat Her, it is probably also at the Deputy Tier.
And after achieving the final victory, its body underwent some horrifying transformation from inside out.
This change unknowingly spread across the entire Qina Island, turning the whole island into the "Isle of Filth."
Therefore, it’s hard to imagine how terrifying its power has become.
"Could it have ascended to the Angel Tier?"
Rogel furrowed his brows, contemplating internally.
