I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 207-1: Tsukishiro Murasakiyo, Tisi Island’s Forbidden Rear Mountain (1)

[You followed the stone-paved path all the way forward, soon arriving at the Heartless Ninja Dojo.]

[The dojo ahead was enclosed by white walls topped with green tiles. A wide gateway displayed a plaque reading Heartless Ninja Way.]

[On either side of the main entrance lay two enormous fierce dogs, each wearing a black scarf around its neck.]

[You knew these were the dojo’s ninja dogs. Trained with ninja arts, their sense of smell was so keen that ordinary stealth techniques were worthless against them.]

[Their combat prowess was not to be underestimated either. Equipped with ninja tools, they could easily slaughter three or five thieves.]

[Your arrival drew the dogs’ attention. They sniffed the air, then opened their eyes. Recognizing you, they began barking excitedly and wagging their tails madly.]

[You stepped forward to pat their heads, then passed through the gate into the dojo’s courtyard.]

[On both sides of the courtyard were a dozen or so training rooms. The dojo’s main hall stood at the far end.]

[Looking around, you saw no one. But the barking had already alerted the other ninjas.]

[Sure enough, in short order, a group of ninjas came hurrying out of the training rooms. These ninjas were not wearing the standard tight suits of Genin but loose training uniforms instead.][You understood that they had yet to pass the Genin Trial. They were mere ninja apprentices, not even as capable as the ninja dogs.]

[The barking had not only disturbed the apprentices but also drew attention from within the main hall.]

[You watched as more than ten Genin dressed the same as you emerged, surrounding a burly ninja like stars around the moon.]

[On this ninja’s mask was engraved a twin-tomoe emblem. The cold, murderous intent in the eyes exposed above the mask was unmistakable.]

[You have discovered a Fire-Worshipping Heartless Chunin!]

[The Chunin snorted disdainfully when it saw you. It sneered that it had thought the master had returned, only to find it was you again, this shameless thing coming back to the island. What, did you want to attempt the Chunin Trial again?]

[It shook its head and turned away. Unfortunately, the master was not on the island. If you wanted to attempt the trial, you would have to come back another day.]

[You loudly proclaimed that your strength had improved by leaps and bounds. If the master were here, you would already be taking the Jonin Trial. Sadly, with only this one here, you would have to make do by clearing the Chunin Trial first, and later…]

[Before you could finish, a black shadow shot toward you!]

[You swiftly drew your blade to block. Clang~ a shuriken clattered to the ground.]

[The Chunin lowered its hand. A cold voice came from behind the mask, saying that if you insisted on seeking death, it would clean house on the master’s behalf today!]

[With that, it drew the ninja sword from its back and slowly advanced…]

Lin Xun’s mouth twitched.

“So this Genin shell is the very definition of big talk and no substance?”

Still, that was fine. While the so-called ninja master was away, he could just wipe out the entire dojo, save himself the trouble of hunting them down one by one.

Lin Xun stopped pretending and revealed his hand, switching to the little dragonkin shell and hefting his chain blade.

[You possessed the shell of the Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit!]

[The Chunin froze in shock when it saw you change form, unable to believe its eyes. No wonder you had dared to boast so brazenly, you had turned traitor to consort with a demonic abomination, becoming a pawn of evil!]

[In that case, there was no need to adhere to the rules of trials or sparring!]

[A murderous glint flashed in its gaze. It called on the other ninjas to attack you together. Instantly, purple smoke billowed out as the ninjas’ silhouettes vanished one after another.]

The newly forged chain blade was perfect for the situation: capable of close-range and mid-range attacks, effective for both single-target and area damage.

Against this many enemies, it could display its full power.

[You lashed out with the bone-and-flesh chain, quickly ensnaring a ninja apprentice creeping up on you. Black dragonflame surged along the links, incinerating it in an instant into a puddle of stinking pus.]

[You sensed something overhead and suddenly looked up. A Genin was descending from above, its sharp blade aimed at your draconic head.]

[You opened your great maw full of fangs. Torrents of raging dragonflame erupted upward, reducing the Genin to ashes before it even hit the ground.]

[You let out a dragon roar and flung out both chain blades, unleashing a merciless slaughter…]

[You have defeated a Fire-Worshipping Heartless Ninja Apprentice. Experience increased slightly.]

[You obtained Purple Mist Pellet (Throwing Item).]

[You have defeated a Fire-Worshipping Heartless Genin. Experience increased slightly.]

[You obtained Poisoned Shuriken (Throwing Item).]

[You defeated…]

For a while, the Hell Difficulty game text scrolled furiously across the screen.

With overwhelming strength, the little dragonkin turned the dojo into a living hell.

[Much later, you stopped your attack. Everywhere you looked, stinking pools of pus had collected, and the ground was littered with blackened corpses.]

[You sensed something amiss. Among all the ninjas you had slain, the Chunin’s body was nowhere to be found.]

[It must have realized the situation and fled early.]

[Will you search the dojo?]

“Damn!”

Lin Xun didn’t bother looting. He immediately turned and sprinted back to the port.

[You quickly evacuated the dojo, running all the way back. In the distance, you saw the three-masted warship already underway, over a thousand meters away.]

[The Fire-Worshipping Heartless Chunin stood at the bow, surrounded by thieves. The sea breeze whipped its black scarf.]

[Its cold voice carried across the waves. “Demonic pawn, though I don’t know how you wielded the Karmic Fire bestowed by the gods, with that monstrous form of yours… you’d best stay on the island and wait for the master’s sharp blade to return! Hahaha!”]

[You watched the ship sail farther and farther away…]

These Heartless Thieves really were hopeless.

Upon seeing a higher-ranked ninja than himself, they didn’t even bother asking questions, just set sail and left him behind.

But how could Lin Xun possibly let a shell that was almost within his grasp escape so easily?

[You took out the Refined Copper Sand Maraca and gave it a gentle shake…]

[A girl clad in golden armor stepped forth from the void, a crimson sword case slung between the refined copper wings on her back.]

[You opened your great maw full of fangs and let out a dragon roar that shook the sky!]

[Your body swelled in an instant, growing massive. Your limbs thickened, claws and fangs sharpened, and a pair of dragon wings vast enough to blot out the heavens erupted from the scales on your back!]

[You and the Valkyrie flew together, the thousand-meter stretch of sea vanishing in a heartbeat!]

[You hovered over the warship, your enormous shadow swallowing it whole. Darkness engulfed the deck, only those terrified eyes gleamed in the gloom…]

[You dispelled the Hermit Bloodline’s transformation, descending onto the ship in your half-dragon form.]

[The Valkyrie followed behind you. A flash of golden light lit her hand, and a longbow radiating dazzling sunlight appeared in her grasp.]

[The longbow’s body was forged entirely from gold. Looking upon it was like gazing at the sun blazing in the sky.]

[Battle Angel – Valkyrie received your command. She drew the golden bowstring, and an arrow materialized in her hand.]

[In the Fire-Worshipping Heartless Chunin’s horrified gaze, a flash of golden brilliance shot past. A gory cavity appeared in its left chest.]

[Your Watcher has defeated the Fire-Worshipping Heartless Chunin. Your experience increased slightly.]

[You obtained Indomitable Large Chunk of Spirit Essence *1.]

[You obtained Ninja Grappling Hook (Special Equipment).]

[You have been tainted by the second stack of Karmic Fire!]
