I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 368-2: Guidance Bookmark, Asad’s Hidden Location (2)

[Ignoring Kim’s puzzled expression, you step forward and slowly push open the tower’s main door…]

[From the outside, the tower appears to be at least five or six stories high, but inside there are no floors dividing it. You can see the high dome in a single glance.]

[The floor space inside the tower is not large, yet it feels extremely empty. Aside from the four walls and the supporting pillars, there is nothing else inside.]

[Flanda realizes something is wrong with this place. It moves to shield you behind it and takes the initiative to circle once around the four walls inside, but finds nothing unusual.]

[Having squeezed at the door for a long time without managing to get in, Kim is just about to use its scorpion pincers to widen the doorway. When it sees that Flanda has not found anything, it gives up on the idea of forcibly tearing the door apart and says to you…]

[It is obvious that there is nothing here. Did you remember the location wrong? Why do you not think it over again?]

[You ignore Kim’s joking interruption and walk straight toward the innermost part of the room…]

[When you reach the deepest part, there is nothing before your eyes but a solid wall.]

[You take a deep breath and suddenly swing your claws at the wall.]

[Your claw tips sink into the wall without feeling any solid resistance. As your claws pass through, the wall before you disappears without a trace like a punctured bubble…][In that very instant, a faint trace of evil intent quietly sprouts in the depths of your heart, but the total amount of malice is not great enough to have any major effect on you.]

[A vast and oppressive dark space appears before your eyes.]

[In the short distance ahead, what was originally a magnificent and splendid sleeping palace is wrapped in endless dense black miasma like a giant beast trapped in a cage and struggling on the brink of death.]

[The boundary where the dark space meets the floor of the room is sharply divided, like two blocks of different-colored building bricks fitted together.]

[Before entering the tower, you had taken note of the surrounding terrain. It is obvious that the space inside the tower could not possibly contain a sleeping palace, and the tower is not connected to any other buildings, making it impossible for such a massive structure to be hidden within.]

[By all common logic, this space and the sleeping palace could not possibly appear here…]

[Looking at the drifting pitch-black miasma, Flanda suppresses its shock and indicates that enormous danger must be hidden within the palace, and that it should go in first to take a look.]

[With that, it is about to step into the dark space…]

[Wait!]

[Kim roars, immediately swings its scorpion pincers, violently widens the originally narrow doorway, and squeezes inside.]

[It strides over to Flanda’s side and says to you, Oath bearer, in order to guard against unknown dangers hidden in the palace, it and Flanda will go in first while you stay here and do not move.]

[With that, he steps inside together with Flanda…]

Lin Xun suspected that Kim wanted to take advantage of him, but he had no evidence.

[The two of them have only just stepped across the boundary of the dark space when their faces change at the same time and they hurriedly retreat.]

[You can clearly see the fear in Kim’s expression.]

[Kim wants to explain but only opens and closes its mouth without finding the words to describe it accurately, and can only keep repeating to you, do not go in, do not go in…]

[Flanda grabs you and pulls you away from the dark space. With lingering fear, it says that this place cannot be entered. Just by brushing against the boundary of the space just now, it felt endless negative intent seize its mind.]

[That negative consciousness is extremely filthy. No, it should be called pure, a purity of evil pushed to the extreme.]

[If they had not withdrawn in time, they would probably have been utterly devoured by the endless malice.]

Lin Xun realized what he was facing.

From the previous text information it could be seen that when a large amount of malice aura gave birth to a subconscious, in order to hide itself while it was still weak, it had erased all traces of Asad’s existence.

However, why had that subconscious of malice not erased the existence of the other malice plants and only erased Asad alone.

A terrifying thought rose in Lin Xun’s mind.

Perhaps the still-weak subconscious of malice still needed to rely on a body to manifest, or to survive, or to grow stronger.

Whatever the case, the subconscious of malice needed Asad’s body.

Now, that ever-growing subconscious of malice was most likely parasitizing Asad’s body.

“I have to enter the sleeping palace.”

That Flanda and Kim could not enter the sleeping palace did not mean that he could not investigate what was inside.

Having gone through the evil god chapter, he already knew methods for avoiding the influence of malice.

[You take out the Refined Copper Sand Maraca and give it a light shake…]

[Battle Angel – Valkyrie responds to your summons and steps out from the void.]

[You order the Valkyrie to step into the dark space shrouded in dense malice.]

[Flanda and Kim both recognize this battle servant of yours. They are just about to warn you to be careful when they see the Valkyrie beat the Refined Copper wings on its back and dart into the dark space…]

[Pitch-black miasma, visible to the naked eye, coils around the Valkyrie’s entire body, yet it is unable to inflict the slightest effect on it.]

[Standing within the dark space, the Valkyrie blinks its dark-gold eyes at you, waiting for your next command.]

[Kim gapes, its face full of disbelief, and asks you, Oath bearer, whether this thing is human or ghost. How can it ignore that kind of malice consciousness?]

The Valkyrie was a Refined Copper construct, and strictly speaking it was just a robot. It was not a living being, so of course it could ignore the corruption of malice.

He had already used this kind of method many times in the evil god chapter and was long since familiar with it.

“Hmph, you have never seen a mecha girl before, have you.”

Lin Xun attempted to step into the malice space himself, and the result was of course a complete failure. If he had not first had the Valkyrie take out the Little Demon Shikigami Bell for him to vent his malice through, he might have gotten a free trip back to town.

And the other way of avoiding malice had also become unusable. The Mature Fruit of Evil was currently in a full state and could no longer absorb malice, so it could not be used as a shield in front like before.

Helpless, he could only have the Valkyrie go explore the sleeping palace.

[At your command, the Valkyrie beats the Refined Copper wings on its back and quickly arrives before the sleeping palace.]

[It reaches out and pushes open the palace doors. Instantly, surging malice pours out from the doorway like erupting magma.]

[The vast pitch-black miasma cannot affect the Valkyrie. It stands quietly at the entrance of the sleeping palace, waiting for the outburst of malice to subside…]

[…]

[At last, the outpouring of malice aura weakens slightly, and you are able to gaze from afar through the doorway and see a few glimpses of the scene inside the sleeping palace.]

[In the depths of the sleeping palace, a deformed creature like black fungal growth is rooted, and endless malice aura is erupting from its body…]

[As if sensing the arrival of someone, its layers of branches and leaves rustle, and from within them a head with a strange smile stretches out.]

[Those malice-filled eyes pierce through the palace doors and simply stare straight at you from afar.]

[You have discovered Extreme Evil Asad!]
