Chapter 420: Dispelling the Omen
“The brain domain created by the ‘Worm Primordial Body’ is highly deceptive. As for its true form, it’s hidden somewhere in here… Leave the rest to me.
Even though I was forcibly summoned to your world by those rule-breaking believers.
But after absorbing your special essence, I’ve managed to shake off my ‘weakened state’.”
It’s actually quite nice that Nicole is willing to handle this matter herself, but Han Dong has his unique needs.
“Can I join you?… If possible, I’d like to absorb the energy of the ‘Worm Primordial Body’ to assist you in attacking the mysterious cult on the mountain top later.”
Nicole responded calmly, “That’s right… your body carries the ‘Messenger’s’ essence.
You can indeed absorb any type of energy.
Alright, come with me.
The ‘Poseidon’s Protection’ I provide will hardly achieve 100% efficacy in their domain.
The ‘Worm Primordial Body’ is highly deceptive, it can alter its appearance according to the mental weaknesses of the invading individual. Don’t let it deceive you…”
“Hmm.”
This time, Nicole took the lead, pulling Han Dong towards the main brain domain.
Thanks to Nicole’s help.
Regardless of any mental attacks produced by the brain domain, Han Dong remained completely unaffected…
During this process, the Little Demon Eye tried its best to see through the illusions and locate the primordial entity hidden in the brain domain.
“Nicole… about forty-six meters ahead, something might be hidden in the wall at two o’clock.”
“Your eyes are very special…” Nicole murmured.
Following Han Dong’s directions, she also sensed something amiss.
Whoosh!!
Several hardened pink octopus tentacles emerged from Nicole’s palm.
Piercing with precise accuracy through the wall that Han Dong had pointed out.
They entangled a strange insect…
“Nicholas, what are you doing!?”
A voice belonging to Mr. Black White came from the front.
Clearly… it was due to the ‘Worm Primordial Body’ reading important information from Han Dong’s brain, fabricating a voice belonging to a significant figure in Han Dong’s life, attempting to deceive him.
But because of the Little Demon Eye.
The visual illusion couldn’t be effectively manifested.
The so-called ‘Worm Primordial Body’ is a strange transparent lump, with numerous nerve fibers on its surface.
Mr. Black White’s voice was created by these nerve fibers, which were good at mimicking.
It would have been fine if it hadn’t tried to mimic.
Mr. Black White holds a very high position in Han Dong’s heart.
Having spent most of his life in school, Han Dong greatly values the relationship between teacher and student… not to mention that Mr. Black White took great care of Han Dong, Han Dong couldn’t allow anyone to offend his mentor.
While Nicole, restrained and pulled the target.
Han Dong promptly stepped forward and firmly gripped the ‘Worm Primordial Body’.
Of course.
At this moment, the ‘primordial body’ had fully entered its defense mode.
The numerous nerve fibers retracted inward, forming a difficult-to-breach protective layer.
At the same time, the giant body began to shake violently, trying to throw Han Dong and Nicole out of its body.
“Weakness Lock”
The Little Demon Eye immediately captured the weak area of the nerve defenses.
Han Dong immediately grabbed his axe and started chopping furiously.
Thanks to the specificity of the movie “Mist”, the axe originating from within the movie could cause significant damage to the monsters, forcibly splitting a rift on the nerve protective layer of the primordial body.
“Die!”
Perfectly coordinated.
The speckled tentacles on Han Dong’s palm swiftly plunged in, forcibly absorbing the worm’s internal core.
“Mythical Energy +10”
For a moment, the gigantic worm that filled the mountain lost its vitality, deflated and shrank.
Staring at the tentacle technique Han Dong was using.
Nicole slightly tilted her head, revealing an expression of incomprehension… in her memory, she had never seen these speckled tentacles before.
“[Omen – Giant Body] has been completed, Omen Value +3 (Assisted by someone else, 1 point of Omen Value reward deducted)”
“There are such rules in Single-Player Mode? Well, Nicole’s existence did save me a lot of trouble… deducting only 1 point is reasonable.”
Whoosh!!
The axe cut through the skin once again.
Han Dong and Nicole landed steadily.
Due to the death of the primordial body, the gigantic worm’s skin kept shrinking… finally, it turned into a familiar piece of white paper, which always appear after each Omen event.
Futhermore, Han Dong can be certain that only he can see the paper.
What Nicole saw was merely a shriveled and worthless worm skin.
This further confirms Han Dong’s deduction about the real ending… taking another step towards the ‘True Self Ending’.
“‘Original Manuscript Four’ obtained”
Han Dong carefully put away the manuscript.
Just then, Nicole suddenly drew close…
As Han Dong hadn’t deactivated the combat state yet, the Little Demon Eye in the center of his forehead was still wide open.
“What are you doing?”
Han Dong was a bit helpless.
He could not understand or anticipate some of the ‘sudden’ actions of this little sea lady, Nicole… at least Mia, the ever-clingy one, would always ask Han Dong for permission when she ‘made moves’.
Nicole, on the other hand, never asked. Moreover, there were no preemptive signs… she just did it all of a sudden.
No matter whether Nicole did it intentionally or not, the Little Demon Eye was far too important, Han Dong simply couldn’t let others touch it.
“It’s a pupil ability I learned from a copied version of a book called ‘Book of Dead Spirit’.”
“Book of Dead… Spirit?”
This term seemed to touch Nicole’s deeply sealed memory.
The intense pain caused Nicole to reveal a very uncomfortable expression, but in the end, she couldn’t remember anything.
“This is strange… I’m sure I’m familiar with it, but why can’t I remember?
No, I can’t think about it! If I do, I might die… I need to return to the ‘Deep Sea’ first.”
Han Dong quietly watched all of this unfold.
Next.
With the assistance of Nicole, who knew just about everything, handling the subsequent [Omen – Wanderer] became simpler.
Nicole directly explained the origin of the ‘Wanderer’, which was the result of the influence of a ‘Vine Spirit’ that dwelled within the mountain.
The people who got lost in the mountain gradually lost themselves and were possessed by the Vine Spirit, as they couldn’t find their way out no matter what.
This type of Vine Spirit had the ability to flexibly transfer its possession among all the wanderers.
However, there was a cooldown period for the transfer.
In the end, Han Dong and Nicole split up and cornered the Vine Spirit into a single body where it could not immediately transfer.
Just when Nicole was about to finish off the Vine Spirit.
“Wait, let me use this thing.”
