I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 339-1: Young Girl Flanda (1)

[Led by the guard, you arrive at the third floor of the castle’s main building and step into the castle master’s chambers…]

[A tall, thin figure stands by the window with its back to you, cloak and mantle wrapping its entire body tightly.]

[Nightmare Yuri turns around. A pale mask covers its face, so you cannot see its expression, but you can clearly sense the thick suspicion in its gaze.]

[Nightmare Yuri waves a hand to dismiss the guard captain, then signals for you to hand over the Sacrificial Emblem.]

[Will you present the Sacrificial Emblem to Nightmare Yuri?]

[You have presented the Sacrificial Emblem (Special Item) to the Ascended Shadow Dancer Nightmare Yuri!]

[A hoarse voice comes from beneath the pale mask…]

[You have successfully passed the trial it set. As agreed beforehand, from this day on you are its servant, servant of Nightmare Yuri.]

[As your master, it wants you to truthfully explain how you traversed the blizzard, entered the Emerald Sacrificial Ground under the Pilgrimage Angel’s attacks, and obtained the Sacrificial Emblem.]

[How will you answer?][1. Counter-question Nightmare Yuri, asking what the hell it is asking for, and answer with the Warden’s Bone Warhammer in your hand.]

[2. Be vague and claim that as soon as you arrived in Bush Cricket City, you found the Sacrificial Emblem in the snow.]

[3. Answer truthfully that you relied on your own powerful strength to ignore the White-Fleece Snow Season and retrieve the Sacrificial Emblem.]

Now that his goal was achieved, once Nightmare Yuri obtained the Sacrificial Emblem, it should begin the sacrifice.

Lin Xun could not be bothered to keep acting and directly pressed the first option.

[You shout angrily, swing up the Warden’s Bone Warhammer in your hand, and your sturdy body charges at the tall, thin figure like a heavy siege chariot.]

[The soft fungal carpet shreds beneath your feet, purple-black slime splashing out.]

[With explosive, overwhelming strength, you rush to the enemy in an instant. The heavy, bone-spiked warhammer slams down, letting out a piercing screech as it falls. The gusts it stirs make the cloak and mantle whip in the air.]

[Nightmare Yuri’s gaze on you is filled with icy killing intent. The tall, thin figure sidesteps, moving so fast that a mirage-like afterimage remains where it stood.]

[The warhammer smashes through the afterimage and continues its unstoppable descent to the floor.]

[With a thunderous crash, the floor shatters. Your brutal strike punches through the floorboards, opening a massive crater through which you can see the room below.]

[Nightmare Yuri leaps high, its figure flipping over your head to land lightly behind you.]

[Your vision suddenly goes dark, blood gushing down from the top of your head. A short dagger has somehow been driven deep into your skull, only the hilt protruding.]

[You turn around, wanting to attack again, but you only feel all the blood in your body surging in reverse, rushing toward the short dagger in your skull.]

[You cannot muster a shred of strength. Your sturdy body collapses heavily to the ground.]

[In your dying moments, you hear the hoarse voice once again…]

[With such a weak body, how did you manage to obtain the Sacrificial Emblem?]

[…]

[You are dead!]

[…]

[The powerful wandering soul is reborn within a mucus-filled pod…]

“Nightmare Yuri’s strength is at least comparable to the Ninja Master, maybe even stronger…”

Touching his chin, Lin Xun muttered to himself.

He switched back to the steward Shell and headed once more for Belatu Estate.

[…]

[You jog all the way to the third floor of the castle’s main building. The master’s chambers are already surrounded by guards.]

[Nightmare Yuri sees your late arrival and scolds you, then orders you to have the chambers restored to their original state…]

[…]

[After the guards disperse, Nightmare Yuri leans close and whispers in your ear. It is going down to the dungeon to complete the sacrificial ritual, and during that time you must guard the dungeon entrance and not allow anyone to approach!]

[You nod solemnly and follow Nightmare Yuri to a hidden room on the first floor of the castle.]

[Nightmare Yuri steps into the dungeon’s secret passage, leaving you alone outside the entrance…]

[Will you secretly enter the dungeon?]

Now that the goal was achieved, all that remained was to wait for Nightmare Yuri to finish the sacrifice and then steal the favor bestowed by the Wet Nurse.

Of course, he did not dare remain in the castle until the ritual was completed.

If the Wet Nurse’s consciousness descended again and discovered that he was a disguised heretic, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Xun’s eyes rolled. He summoned the Valkyrie and ordered her to slash him a few times.

Then he left Nightmare Yuri behind and bolted…

[…]

[You clutch the bloody wounds on your body and stumble your way to the inner bailey.]

[Seeing you in such a state, the patrolling guards are horrified. They hastily shout that there is an assassin, an assassin.]

[The guards gather in a panic. The guard captain quickly rushes to your side and awaits your orders.]

[What is your next move?]

[1. Order the guards to go to the dungeon and interrupt Nightmare Yuri’s sacrificial ritual.]

[2. Order the guards to enter the castle’s main building and search for and capture the assassin.]

[3. Order the guards to leave the castle with you and capture the assassin together.]

[Putting on a furious expression, you announce to the guards that there is a maid assassin with mimicry abilities in the castle. After you saw through her disguise, she lashed out and wounded you, then escaped all the way out of the castle and headed for the Plaza Beneath the City.]

[By the Lord’s orders, the assassin must be captured alive. All guards are to follow you to the Plaza Beneath the City and carry out the Lord’s command at all costs.]

[The guard captain musters the guards, their number nearly one hundred.]

[However, the guard captain does not fully carry out your order, leaving more than a dozen guards to continue garrisoning the castle. No matter how you command them, they refuse to move.]

[You know that these are the most guards you can mobilize.]

[The guard captain leaves the castle with you and summons a massive Military Mole Cricket.]

[This mole cricket is several times larger than the Courier Mole Cricket you normally ride. Its tunneling speed is even greater, and its abdominal cavity can hold nearly one hundred people at once.]

[…]

[You and the guards ride the Military Mole Cricket and arrive at the Plaza Beneath the City…]

[The plaza is empty, devoid of people.]

[You take out the Firefly Stone Kim gave you and hold it high…]

[Very soon, a hazy humanoid silhouette appears in the distance. She releases her mimicry and reveals herself. It is the long-limbed, slender maid Missionary Kim.]

[You point at Kim and loudly order the many guards behind you to capture the brazen assassin who dared sneak into the castle alive. Pay attention. She must be captured alive.]

[Whoever captures the assassin first will have the first right to subject her to severe interrogation, and the Lord will certainly not be stingy with rewards.]

[Kim stares at you in a daze, her expression hard to describe.]

[At the guard captain’s shout, the guards charge forward with ill intent…]

[The guard captain looks at Kim, now trapped in the encirclement, and eyes her up and down before turning to you. He asks you to wait here. Once he captures the assassin alive, he will definitely force out the answers you, the steward, want to know.]

[With that, he gives a wicked grin and strides forward…]

[You possess the Shell of the Fire-Worshipping Ninja Master!]

[You swiftly draw your sword and with a single slash behead the guard captain. Blood sprays in all directions.]

[You have defeated the Ascended castle guard captain. Your experience points increase slightly.]

[You have obtained Fading Chunk Spirit Essence of Insight x 1]

[You have obtained Military Mole Cricket Summoning Short Flute (Special Item)!]

[Within the encirclement, Kim’s slender figure dances lightly. Her rapier-like barbed stinger whirls again and again, leaving corpse after corpse in her wake.]

[You notice one guard on the outer edge of the encirclement. He grips a short-spear stinger in his hand, twisting his torso as he stores power, his gaze locked tightly on Kim…]

[You are just about to move in to help Kim…]

[Suddenly, Kim beats her membrane wings once. Her rapier-like stinger flies from her hand and nails the guard who was preparing to throw his short spear dead on the spot.]

[Kim makes a beckoning motion, and the rapier-like stinger returns to her hand.]

[Focusing your gaze, you see a hair-thin black thread connecting to the stinger’s hilt. With a tug, Kim can call the weapon back to her hand as if sword-controlling.]

[A few guards sense that things are going badly and try to flee, but they cannot escape the attacks that come from behind them.]

[Very soon, under the combined assault of you and Kim, the many guards become bodies strewn all over the ground…]

[Kim flicks the blood from her rapier and asks if Nightmare Yuri will not come after you, given that you drew so many guards away.]

[You explain the situation to Kim…]
