I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Lloyd was originally happy about the upgrade of [Projection], which was finally upgraded from a complete puppet to a minion in the game, but he was no longer happy the next second.

He discovered that killing these seemingly ferocious monsters only resulted in 1 point of madness?

Even the mental pollution they normally emit are just pitiful mosquito legs...

At the same time, I couldn't get any fragments, so I basically had nothing to gain.

Although I know you are all fake, can you allocate some of the realistic appearance to the rewards?

Lloyd was complaining in his mind, but in the next second, more than a dozen monsters appeared out of thin air from the empty street, and once again rushed towards him ferociously.

Come again?

Lloyd complained in his heart, and his inspiration instantly locked all the monsters, and then [Projection] roared out again, still solving the battle within three seconds.

One thing to say, although the rewards are very small, this kind of grass-cutting combat experience is actually quite enjoyable? There is a sense of unparalleled pleasure in sweeping through thousands of troops, which can relieve stress.

There are just a few monsters, a weak sense of impact, and a lack of visual effects...

While Lloyd was thinking about it, he suddenly recalled the precautions mentioned by Professor Armitage before - the purpose of this trial is to experience the 'great fear' between life and death, so as to draw the real power from it. .

But these monsters are so bad that they can't stand in front of a fourth-level person like him for three seconds. They certainly don't pose much of a threat to other trialists who came in before, right?

No one can feel the pressure and intensity on this monster, right?

So where should I look for the 'big fear'? Do you want to scare yourself?

Just when Lloyd was feeling embarrassed about this, another line of strange text suddenly appeared in front of him, still written in an ancient language that he was not familiar with.

The "Book of Truth" in his mind immediately began to turn over a while, and translated a passage for Lloyd:

"Long time no see, my friend."

Um? Is there a storyline to this trial? Are these monsters just to warm people up?

What mission should be triggered next, and how many monsters should I go somewhere to kill in exchange for some reward?

Lloyd took in the experience of the game on the other side of the earth, and then complained:

I'm not against the plot. After all, it's easy to get bored just by simply killing monsters. But since there's a plot, why don't you also set up NPCs such as a village chief, a female knight, and a beautiful girl adventurer to interact with each other? It would be too insincere to directly use subtitles to advance the plot, right?

While he was slandering, a new line of ancient slang appeared on the subtitles in front of Lloyd:

"Oh~ It turns out that I recognized the wrong person. You are the one who accepted the inheritance. So please clear the obstacles and come to see me in the depths."

Oh...it turns out it's not that there are no NPCs, but that I haven't seen them yet? That's easy to say, but isn't the beginning of the plot a bit too cliche? What kind of plot unfolds in ancient times?

But then again, this "Book of Illusion" seems to be a product of ancient times?

Lloyd complained in his heart, but responded with a smile:

"I'm coming."

He took the initiative to find some sense of immersion...

Next, he wandered around this abandoned ancient city, looking for the NPC who could give him a task.

No other plots were triggered during the process, but I met a lot of monsters, and their aggressiveness and danger more than doubled!

The monster that used to take less than three seconds to deal with now takes six seconds!

It is indeed a bit slow, giving the monsters a chance to get closer to Lloyd, but even if they are not killed directly by [Projection], there is still a layer of [Distortion Realm] waiting for them behind...

The monster that finally took advantage of the sacrifice of its companions to approach, once it entered the range of the [Twisted Realm], it was stunned on the spot for a moment, and was then dealt with by the [Projection] that quickly returned to the rescue.

But no matter what, it finally made Lloyd feel a little pressure and intensity.

In addition, the amount of mental pollution these monsters can cause has also increased. Killing one can result in 100 to 400 points, indicating that the danger level of these monsters is also between 1 and 4. It is a mixed bag of good and bad, good and bad.

But the advantage was that they had enough numbers. Lloyd wandered around like this for about ten minutes, and he was promoted to level 2 easily, and his efficiency was not slow.

That's right. How can you say that killing monsters doesn't give you experience?

Although the real goal of this trip, those precious powers of life and death have not been found yet, since they can be upgraded, there is no need to worry, just refresh first.

Lloyd continued to kill monsters all the way, approaching the central area of ​​the abandoned city——

There stands a palace, which can be said to be the only relatively intact building in the entire city. The rest of the surrounding buildings are ruins, and only the architectural style of the glorious era can be roughly distinguished.

The road leading to the palace was a very magical straight avenue with not a single turn in the middle, so there was no need for Lloyd to find the way.

Moreover, there is more than one such straight avenue, and there are many in other directions. The layout of the entire city gives Lloyd the feeling that it is like a simple drawing of the sun, with countless straight roads leading to the center.

I don’t know what this is implying, or whether the municipal planning here is really so random...

Lloyd pondered and made a bold guess.

This is a temporary space, and the things here must be virtual like those monsters, but the virtualization must have an original reference, so he believes that this place should be based on an ancient city that actually existed. from.

Maybe this weird road plan actually existed in history?

In the past, it might have been destroyed by the terrifying tide of monsters in that apocalyptic catastrophe, but the monsters he encountered now might be the ripples caused by the tide of monsters?

And the plot that I am currently in is probably to rescue the surviving people in the city, or to clean up the monsters here, right?

Whatever, it must be an old and corny plot anyway.

Lloyd was just thinking wildly while continuing to swipe the monsters. He was not in a hurry, walking slowly and swiping slowly.

However, he also fully considered that the plot he was in might be related to the tide of monsters that year. The closer he got to the center of the city, the more dangerous the monsters he encountered might be, and the number of monsters might be endless.

Therefore, out of caution, Lloyd did not use all his firepower and skills indiscriminately.

Instead, he only used [Projection] to spawn monsters along the way, maintaining the lowest spiritual power consumption. Coupled with the passive spiritual power recovery effect of the holy objects on his body, there was basically no loss.

Coupled with the various dry food and drinks he always keeps in his storage bag, it will definitely be no problem to spend a day here.

It's a pity that the two sacred objects that enhance vitality and energy were left to others to optimize their appearance. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have to sleep, and you could spend three days and three nights in one go.
