Necro Master

? Contaminated Spirit Valley

Since we have traveled quickly to the Territory, additional work to take care of has yet to take place. All I had to do was look at Visola's face and look at the dock with the shipyard. With dwarves and mermaids, the types of vessels that could be built were quite varied.

Of course, it was more than just curious. A surprising thing happened when I took the Actionist with me.

‘The mermaids who were throwing the churros couldn't talk anymore easily. ’

Loyalty makes it possible to distinguish between enemies, but is it because you're an Actionist? Friends, however, have an instinctive fear of the Actionist.

Moreover, after the Actionist called his father loyalty, all of the territories who did not know him had a brief misunderstanding. Though, of course, the interim explanation closed the situation well.

After all, the loyalty of completing such errands returned to the inn. And I was resting. Xiaoling has fallen asleep in the bed of the room where the loyalty resides.

“By the way, it's time. ”

I thought I'd give you some time off to get to the next mission site. However, the system did not give so much rest.

It's because, shortly after Xiaoling completed acquiring a new body, she told me about her next mission. I was not given any other choice whether I had to go. Right now, there's only a little time left until the next mission.

[Next Mission Area]

[Contaminated Spirit Valley]

[Time to move: 6 minutes and 42 seconds.]

And this time, unlike before, he informed us of the evaluations of the challengers who experienced the mission area in advance.

[Evaluation of Challengers Through the Valley of Spirits]

[Hard, difficult, impetuous, extremely disgusting]

It wasn't very helpful, but I got a sense of the atmosphere.

‘Well, there 'll be gravestones by the time we get there. You can get information from there. ’

Now, the loyalty that I thought I should be ready to go opened my mouth. I was going to take all the names to the Contaminated Spirit Valley.

“System. Unlock the hero registrations of Xiaoling and Jeremy at the inn. ”

[Yes, sir.]

Finally, the system immediately listened to the words of loyalty.

[Hero currently registered at the Inn: None.]

If you think about it, the system should not tell you about the evaluations of the challengers for nothing. It was a small clue, but it must have hidden enough.

‘Something doesn't feel right. ’

I felt like I had to take as many people as possible. So that was the conclusion. Thought so, loyalty woke Shaolin. Now I have to prepare for the move.

“Xiaoling, get up. ”

As the loyalty sways over her shoulders, Shaolin wakes up with a long yawn. Then I leaned against the arm of the loyalty that sat on the bed.

“Yawn... Are we leaving? ”

“Yes. Tidy up the mess. Let's get ready to go.”

“Yes.”

From now on, people from the territory often show themselves out unless they have other business to attend to. It was good to do what each of us did at that time. That's why I was going to stay here and move straight to the mission area.

* * *

After all, the remaining time had passed quickly, and the system was informed when the time had come.

[You have used up all of your waiting time.]

[I'll take you to the Valley of Contaminated Spirits.]

* * *

The place where the loyalty arrived was on the edge of the valley. It was a valley surrounded by mountains, with very clear air and beautiful natural scenery. The sun was floating high and illuminated the surrounding environment.

As soon as I got here, I felt comfortable. It was like a place that would come to play for water.

But there was something strange about it. Except for the sound of water flowing, there was no sound.

“Perhaps this mission is not with the other challengers after all. ”

Loyalty was unable to find any challengers other than itself around. All they had were names like Depron and the Hellhound and the Actionist.

That's how I started looking around. What kind of place is this?

When curiosity grew, the system became known.

[Welcome to Spirit Valley.]

[This is one of the uncontaminated Valley of Spirits.]

[Purge the contaminated valley by going up the waterway.]

At the same time, the system has warned about cautions.

[If you exceed a certain amount of time, the mission will fail naturally.]

The warning did not end there.

[Do not go beyond the valley into the mountains.]

[If the mountain is very complicated, you will wander forever.]

There was no other explanation. The system came to an end.

But there was no time limit, no further explanation. Just in case, loyalty asked the system.

“System, how do you clean, and what exactly is the time limit? ”

[Depending on the situation in the valley, the contents change at all times.]

[We are unable to calculate the method of purification and the exact time limit.]

It was not that the system didn't inform me for no reason. In the end, he was under pressure and had no idea how long he had to go on missions.

‘There is absolutely no information on how to purify the polluted valley. ’

But loyalty could get a hint. It was because the tombstone was erected in a place that was going up the water path. Just as Raleigh finds the tombstone, he informs you of his loyalty.

“Mr. Fierce. It looks better from there. ”

I can't just sit there in the valley of tranquility with nothing. Once I've located the tomb, I need to move quickly. Loyalty opened its mouth to those who awaited its instructions.

“Let's go.”

* * *

- Oh, he died in a hurry because he didn't show time.

- But we don't need to be chased.

- Why not?

- Why? Because it's going to fail anyway.

- Blah blah blah blah

There were not that many gravestones. But there were some pretty decent things, other than what just happened.

- There are roughly two ways to purify the valley.

- Kill all the contaminated spirits.

- Or find and solve the source of the contamination.

- Even if it takes a long time, killing only spirits is the simplest.

- But it's not that simple. Too big, old man.

"If it's not the eradication of spirits, should we find and solve the source of pollution?" ’

There was also information about it.

- The man who contaminated the valley is a corrupt sorcerer.

- If we find him and kill him, the mission will be completed naturally.

- He's the asshole.

- What are you guys doing with blood?

- You should meet him in person.

After examining the contents of the tombstones, the rough conclusion was one of the two. Hunt all Contaminated Spirits, or kill a Corrupt Sorcerer.

Problem was, his skills as a corrupt sorcerer seemed unusual. It was said that those who came to this area were good enough to make such a mockery.

‘We can still deal with it. ’

Loyalty didn't come alone like the other challengers. I decided that winning would be enough.

The roughly known loyalty to the current area has been decided to move.

* * *

The space was wide enough for many people to move at the same time. It was a little annoying that I had to go up the water myself, but it wasn't enough to disturb me.

However, no matter how much I moved, the environment did not change. Then Artadia, who was traveling with him for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth.

“The spirits are taking themselves seriously. ”

“Are the spirits around? ”

There were no spirits in the eyes of the faithful. But she seems to have figured out where the spirits are and what state they're in. It was clear that he was feeling it, even though it was invisible.

But she didn't just talk about spirits for no reason.

“Yes. Their fear grows louder, by the way. Soon, a new place will emerge. ”

Indeed, as she literally moved a little further, the changed place quickly appeared. The color of the valley ahead was different from the way I had previously walked. It was a spidery color, completely submerged in darkness, and all the plants around it withered away.

‘It's like seeing the land of the Undead. ’

However, the contaminated spirits have not yet appeared. The only thing that appeared was the changing environment. Then, when Raleigh sees the sights ahead, he opens his mouth.

“This is getting embarrassing. I can't believe there's a path. ”

She was right. There is a split path up the valley. There was a straight path and a separate path to the left and right.

That was, there were a total of three divergent lengths.

It was not just one path that continued.

‘I can see why the other challengers said it was simple but difficult. ’

Even if only the Contaminated Spirits were eradicated, they would have to look around in all these different directions.

However, loyalty has agreed to respond efficiently. There were a lot of people this way.

‘We'll split up. ’

The total number of people, including himself, was nine. If you divide into three teams, you will be able to enter three people per team.

The enthusiasm to organize your thoughts begins to speak directly to the group.

* * *

Everyone thought the same. Instead of marching around like this, he decided it was efficient to split up the team. However, a corrupt practitioner could have appeared on the road to each other. I had to divide people carefully.

As a result of each other's consideration, the three teams formed were:

[Left: Rayleigh, Xiaoling, Jeremy]

[Center: Chong-Rae Lee, Hell Hound, Actionist]

[Right: Depron, Marek, Artadia]

Honestly, the battle strength of Xiaoling was almost unbelievable. You are faster than any of your party, and your new sword is never outmatched by dark or dark speculation. This was confirmed when he stayed in the territory for a while. Even if it was just for a moment, I could trust this much.

Of course, Xiaoling didn't want to fall out of loyalty.

“I don't want to fall away from my brother.... ”

“I can't help it. I'll see you later."

“Yes……. ”

But I was glad to hear that. Anyway, I left it to Reilly, Xiaoling, and Jeremy. Raleigh was very judgmental. No matter what happens, he will take care of himself. I gave Jeremy a place to summon the Skeleton Horse, just in case.

And on the right is Devon, Marek and Artadia. The combination of the three was also an unparalleled combination. Especially Artadia is on the right, so she'll take care of it.

The poorest team was a loyal team to the center.

Hellhound and the Actionist, including loyalty, were a team of three, so it was natural for them to fall below the rest of the team.

However, loyalty was deliberately organized like this. It is because if the name died outside of the place of loyalty, we could summon it again to find out what happened. Conversely, if the loyalty becomes dangerous, we can summon it back this way.

And now dark speculation has made it hard to find the enemy. Moreover, my life drain was activated automatically, so I was not worried about getting hurt.

That's why I was going to move with this group of people.

‘You should know more about the Actionist. ’

I'm curious about how the Actionists continue to fight. No matter how young he was, it was only his appearance. Actionists were formidable monsters.

Anyway, it was divided, and now it was time to leave.

“Well, everyone, take care. ”

[See you later.]

“I'll be back.”

I didn't know what was at the end of the waterway that each of them would go back to. However, it was clear that none of these were easy to overcome.
