You Should Put Up with It Too

"Hint: You have adjusted your translation mode."

"You have obtained the Samadhi True Fire and the Ruin Crystal Liquid."

"Ruin Crystal Liquid: also known as ' Destruction Primal Stone ', can be used to seal and preserve Aberrant Matter and items, and can also be used as a superior alternative to ' Supreme Primal Stone ';

Note: When using the Ruin Crystal Liquid as an energy source, the user's Force must be greater than 1000 points, otherwise it may easily cause energy runaway.

have to.

Even "Sun Fragment" can be translated as "Samadhi True Fire".

The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover didn't seem so surprising after all.

After all, the Dao Lord's "Great Ascension Method" does indeed record some weapons that are exclusive to Qi Refiner.

However, those contents are currently censored by Roger.

That's forbidden content that can only be accessed after one's promotion.

"Perhaps the ' Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover ' refers to the Sun Net used to hunt beluga whales!"

"Besides..."

"What exactly is this Ruin Crystal Liquid?"

In the moist soil.

Roger tried hard to identify what was usable.

Along with the Sun Fragment, some strange liquids also fell into the Fallen Plane.

These liquids are completely out of place with their surroundings.

Its shape resembles a solidified water droplet.

But it can actually flow.

They maintain a certain distance from the Sun Fragment.

There seems to be some kind of attraction between the two.

Roger quickly examined it.

The result surprised him somewhat.

This Ruin Crystal Liquid can actually be used to replace the Primal Stone as an energy source for firearms!

In his previous understanding.

The "Supreme Primal Stone" represents the pinnacle of energy for thermal weapon systems.

All of the top-tier equipment and tools of the Cowas People are powered by the Supreme Primal Stone.

Phoenix Mech, Blasphemy Moon, Retired Titan...

This is true for all of them.

Only super-large complexes such as starships or motherships are powered by exotic bioenergy sources such as "Primordial" and "Tai Bo".

But the few drops of crystalline liquid before him now possessed an energy density and intensity comparable to or even surpassing that of the Supreme Primal Stone.

How could he not be moved and overjoyed?

Swish! Swish! Swish! Roger's thoughts raced.

Cindy had already packed all these things away for him.

Roger nodded in satisfaction.

He swam around the spot where the Sun Fragment had fallen.

After confirming that nothing was missed.

Only then did it return to the surface.

Under the gargoyle's attentive service.

Roger soon left the forest of idols.

We flew toward the next target shown by the locator that had signs of Sun Fragment.

In the period that follows.

Roger devoted most of his energy to searching for the Sun Fragment.

I occasionally take some time to repeatedly read "The Time Scroll".

Unfortunately, ever since that fleeting glimpse...

The vitality of the Time Scroll seems to have decreased significantly.

Most of the text Roger could see was covered by strange mosaics.

Several days have passed.

He only gained one piece of knowledge:

"Gods can transcend history."

"No wonder the Queen suspected that the two gods were no longer in this world."

"Gods can transcend history, but only gods can transcend it; even immortals cannot. The example of the Dao Lord is right there..."

Roger thought with a hint of regret.

Aside from the meager gains in the area of Time Scroll.

The search for Sun Fragment has also been less than satisfactory.

Even with the help of the gargoyles and Cindy.

Roger has only found 5 Sun Fragment in the past few days.

Add the previous piece.

It was also far from meeting the Queen's needs.

"Really."

"Before the power of an individual becomes so great that it can disregard everything else."

"A large human wave tactic is more likely to be effective."

Looking at those broom wizards flying around in the sky.

Roger looked helpless.

Today marks the sixth day since we entered the Fallen Plane.

He was hiding beneath a sand dune.

1 minute ago.

Roger followed the locator's signals to this location.

But the mages of Evil Shadow City beat them to it.

Roger missed his target.

Let alone Sun Fragment.

Not even a single drop of the Ruin Crystal Liquid was left for him.

Faced with this outcome.

Roger felt somewhat helpless.

But it also strengthened his belief in implementing another strategy—

I'm not going to look anymore! He's going to steal it from me!

The idea behind this strategy is very simple.

Since collecting fragments slowly by myself is inefficient.

Then don't bother collecting it.

In the early stages, allow the nearby Evil Mage to plunder the scattered Sun Fragment.

And when they have accumulated a certain number of fragments.

Roger just needs to wipe them all out.

The fragments will naturally come to you!

certainly.

This method sounds simple.

But there is an absolute premise.

The enforcer must possess absolute Martial Force.

But for Evil Mage...

Unfortunately.

Roger definitely exists.

And it wasn't just a whim of his.

These past few days.

Besides secretly searching for the fragments, he also...

They also carefully observed the distribution and organizational structure of the Evil Mage.

Under the relentless efforts of the Injured Wolf, day and night.

Roger had already achieved a state of knowing himself and his enemy.

The Fallen Plane has evolved to this day.

It separated into two 'continents'.

The continents are separated by a narrow but bottomless trench.

Because the newly created plane has no east, west, south, or north directions.

Roger then used A and B to refer to them.

Divination shows.

Roger entered from Land A.

There are many monsters here.

There are relatively few enemies.

There are not many Sun Fragment.

It only accounts for 1/4 of the total. Most of the debris is on Land B, across the trench.

The Qi Divination Technique also detected it.

There are more people on Land B.

Intense battles have been breaking out ever since the plane opened.

But the victor.

They should all be from the Evil Shadow City.

Regarding this point...

Roger was not surprised at all.

Vilan can be said to have made thorough preparations.

Both its strategic reserves and logistical support far surpass those of the other mediocre forces in Mystra.

After Evil Shadow City entered the Fallen Plane.

It then split into three.

Its main urban area floats on the trench.

Sitting in the center.

It intimidated all sides.

The other two separate sub-cities, escorted by thousands of magic carpets and hot air balloons, headed to continents A and B respectively in search of Sun Fragment.

Both of these sub-cities can be separated and each has the ability to float independently.

Roger noticed.

After entering the skies of Land A.

The city immediately split into six floating islands, each maintaining a certain distance from the others yet still connected! These six floating islands form the center.

The Evil Mage, each wielding several Flying Broom, rose and fell diligently, like data collection planes, shuttling back and forth between the ground and the sky island.

With such a massive investment of human and material resources.

How could the Evil Shadow City not be making rapid progress in collecting the Sun Fragment?

When Roger first saw the scene of thousands of Evil Mage riding brooms descending from the sky island and then returning to the sky, he even wondered if he was watching a simulation game! He felt a deep sense of admiration.

At least in terms of human resource management.

Vilan is first-rate.

Unfortunately, this little bit of respect vanished after he discovered that the Sky Island was throwing large amounts of bone fragments down every day.

That is...

A large amount of fresh bone residue.

They came from slaves in the Evil Shadow City dungeons.

According to the footage sent back by the Injured Wolf.

The slaves in the dungeon were completely treated as human life batteries by Vilan.

They were exploited to the extreme.

In fact.

Previously, when Evil Shadow City took off and broke through the Aerospace Barrier.

Most of the slaves were drained of their blood.

But this is just the beginning.

The Evil Shadow City's "Energy Siphoning Array" forcibly removes the flesh and organs from the slaves after they have bled to death!

This process releases a considerable amount of energy.

For the slaves.

This is a true nightmare! Watching helplessly as your own flesh and brains slowly detach from your body.

However, he himself was stuck in Near-Death State because of the "Energy Siphoning Array".

That feeling.

Roger couldn't imagine it!

final.

Slaves whose bodies have been exploited to the fullest extent of their value will be transformed into numb and ignorant skeletons by a magic circle.

These skeletons will be marked with the mark of enslavement by Evil Mage.

Then he was sent to do chores.

However.

Low-level skeletons are very inefficient at doing tasks.

After several days of torment.

Once the soul energy of a low-level skeleton is nearly depleted.

They will then be sent to their final destination.

Those were terrifying buildings with unusually long chimneys.

It's also the most disgusting place in Evil Shadow City!...

"The White Bone Furnace"

All skeletons that have lost their exploitable value will be burned to ashes by the raging fire of the White Bone Furnace.

During the combustion process.

Their souls will completely collapse.

Thus, contributing the last bit of energy to the prosperity of Evil Shadow City!

As for the discarded bone fragments...

Then it has no value left at all.

The owner of the bone fragments didn't even qualify to enter the Negative Energy Plane.

In the evaluation of the undead system.

These bone fragments are the lowest grade of bone.

Dungeon slaves.

Low-level supervisor.

Apprentice of a monk.

Evil Mage and other classes of the Black Blood Soldier.

Vilan.

The clear and concise structure above ensures the Evil Shadow City's powerful execution capabilities.

All of this.

They are all built on extreme exploitation and slaughter.

To be honest.

When Roger first saw this scene.

He almost couldn't resist storming the sky island! But he gritted his teeth and held back.

Because after entering the Fallen Plane.

The dungeon slaves have been transformed into Bone Skeletons.

Their souls have been branded by Evil Curse.

Even if Roger takes action now, he can't save them.

That's all he can do.

It means suppressing your anger first.

Wait for the right time.

Then avenge them.

Therefore.

Roger had already silently memorized all the details of the six sky islands on Land A! He had also planned out all the strategies in his mind.

Just waiting for the moment to erupt!

that's all.

Time passed day by day.

Roger secretly traveled between the sky islands and the surface.

He vented his anger on the monsters.

However, it's unclear whether encountering the Old Hag had used up all his recent luck.

The monsters I've encountered recently have only given me so-so stats.

For example, this one.

"Log: You killed 1 Flagellate Monster"

"Your storytelling ability has slightly improved."

"Sin Mark are being refreshed..."

"Your ability to show off has slightly improved."

It's obvious.

Roger doesn't need to make up stories.

No need to install it.

For example, this one.

"Log: You have killed one Red-Haired Demon."

"Your ability to bring misfortune to your wife has slightly increased."

"Refresh..."

"Your ability to bring misfortune to your husband has been slightly enhanced."

"???"

"Does this count as an attribute boost?"

In other words, Roger was well-mannered.

Otherwise, he would definitely point at the Red-Haired Demon's corpse and curse him.

And this too.

"Log: You killed a Mutated Shepherd Dog."

"Your Betrayal Skill have received a slight improvement."

"Your Double Standard Ability has slightly improved."

Speechless...

"In such a vast Fallen Plane, are there not a single reliable brother among them?"

"I could max out any normal stats!"

I haven't vented for several days.

Roger, tormented by the urge to be promoted, was itching to do it again.

He silently estimated the progress of the six sky islands in collecting Sun Fragment.

I'm thinking I can make a move in two more days.

So he forcibly suppressed the urge to vent his anger.

It quietly left the surface of the earth.

As usual, I planned to find a place underground to hide for the night.

However, just as Roger was looking for a place to stay...

Suddenly, a sneaky figure appeared in the Swamp Land ahead!

Roger glanced at it.

I just felt listless.

It was a "Fluffy Mud Monster".

Roger had killed him once before.

I still remember the attributes they gave me.

He had absolutely no interest in flabby pectoral muscles.

However, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

He still refreshed the marker.

Then he unleashed a Lava Spray! Sizzle! The sharp, spell- Spell-like Abilities pierced right through the mud monster's shell.

On the data panel.

"You killed a Fluffy Mud Monster."

"Your refining speed has been slightly increased."

"Refining: refers to all processes involving the assimilation of oneself with external objects, including but not limited to—"

1. Smelting of Pillar Item

2. Qi Fate Synchronization...

other"

"This..."

"I misunderstood my brother!"

Seeing this attribute.

Roger was overjoyed.

I'm absolutely ecstatic!

The only factor currently preventing him from being promoted is the progress of smelting the Pillar Item!

The attributes given by the Mud Monster Brothers weren't particularly outstanding.

But it appeared at this time.

That's like sending charcoal in snowy weather!

Roger is sure to win big! But just as he was ecstatic...

A giant magic carpet suddenly floated down from the Above the Sky.

Hundreds of Evil Mage riding brooms surround the magic carpet!

Boom! Boom! Boom! One after another, brutal berserkers jumped directly off the edge of the magic carpet.

The survivors chose to follow up with either Feather Fall or Levitation.

In a short time.

The edge of the swamp was teeming with people from Evil Shadow City!...

"It's an operation in Evil Shadow City!"

"You nobodies, get out of my way while I'm in a good mood!"

The one who spoke was an elite berserker of level 89.

Roger noticed.

He was wearing heavy armor.

She has a magic collar around her neck.

Extra defensive measures are in place for vital areas such as the back of the head, armpits, waist, chest, and groin.

From the perspective of equipment alone.

This reveals that this fellow is a man who is rough around the edges but shrewd underneath.

Think about it from another perspective.

It should be noted that Evil Shadow City is a place ruled by Evil Mage.

This guy managed to become the leader of so many Evil Mage despite being a berserker.

This demonstrates the strength of their foundation.

"This guy isn't easy to ambush..."

Roger frowned.

They quietly disappeared from sight.

That's the only advantage of having high perception.

He had already noticed the movements in Evil Shadow City.

But the other side had no idea that Roger was there.

at the same time.

The gargoyle flew into the sky on Roger's orders.

They flapped their wings and flew away.

This action attracted the attention of many Evil Mage.

But they only glanced warily at the gargoyle.

They then set up camp outside the Swamp Land.

Edge of the swamp.

The berserker was actually addressing two groups of Adventurers from Mystra.

One group consisted of about a dozen members.

They were wearing greyish-blue armor and robes.

A dark red crescent moon was embroidered on her chest.

For the Evil Shadow City, which has been conquering the Southern Continent for a long time.

This logo is all too familiar.

That was one of the few remaining superhuman organizations in the southern part of the Southern Continent—

Dark Moon Fortress

The members of Dark Moon Fortress are mainly vampires.

Its owner had some connection with the Salvation Society.

Therefore, the two sides were able to maintain a semblance of peace.

Besides the "Dark Moon Fortress," another group came from the "Fairy Monastery," which also hailed from the Southern Continent.

Like Dark Moon Fortress.

The master of the Fairy Monastery is a Ascension-grade Great Fairy.

Its territory is located in a remote area.

Therefore, it was not tainted by the Black Blood Soldier's war.

despite this.

Even members of these extraordinary organizations would avoid the Black Blood Soldier if they encountered them in the wild.

These two groups entered the Fallen Plane together.

They are naturally in the same industry.

They originally intended to search the Swamp Land for any possible Sun Fragment.

But since they've run into Evil Shadow City...

Then you can only accept your bad luck.

In fact.

The elite berserker did not immediately intervene to stop the attacker.

These extraordinary individuals are already exclaiming how lucky they are.

"Let's leave now!"

The side of the Fairy Monastery.

A strikingly handsome young man bowed and spoke.

"Etc!"

The berserker's gaze suddenly sharpened.

A hint of malevolence gradually surfaced in his eyes.

"My name is Nock."

"May I have your name?"

The berserker leered at the pretty young girl beside the handsome young man and asked.

The girl's face immediately turned pale.

"I...I'm called Aike."

The young man's expression also turned ugly.

"My lord... we'll leave now..."

He stammered.

"Oh?"

"Trying to be a hero? And what's your name?"

Nock snorted coldly, his lecherous gaze shifting from the girl to the young man, the lust in his eyes burning even more fiercely! This time...

The girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man's face turned deathly pale! "I..."

"My name is Borei."

Nock stared unabashedly at the fairy youth, Borei.

There were more than twenty extraordinary individuals present.

Not a single person dared to utter a sound! This shows that circumstances dictate actions!

Even if he killed Nock using his own skills.

The Black Blood Soldier, which can be found within a hundred miles, will also come searching like hunting dogs.

At that point, it won't be as simple as two fists being no match for four hands.

It could also bring catastrophic disaster upon its organization!

Do not provoke the Black Blood Soldier! This is an ironclad rule established by the Salvation Society over the past thirty years in the Southern Continent!...

"Since that's the case, then you..."

Nock stared at it for a long time.

I was just about to speak.

Who knew that at this very moment...

A spellcaster in a standard robe approached and interrupted him, "Nock, we've discovered quite a few ' Fluffy Mud Monster ' outside the swamp. There seems to be a Mud Monster Nest here. Should we eliminate them directly or use a trapping tactic?"

Nock waved his hand impatiently. "Of course, kill them all!"

"Etc..."

"Is this kind of mud monster of yours valuable to you mages?"

This guy is very meticulous.

I deliberately asked one more question.

The spellcaster's lips curled slightly. "It's worthless."

"Then kill them all!"

Nock said calmly:

"By the way, since you're here, help me make a choice."

"If you were in the shoes of these Harpy, which one would you choose?"

These words were spoken.

The people of Dark Moon Fortress secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The people of the Fairy Monastery wore masks of pain.

Especially that pair of fairy-like men and women.

They were all the most outstanding and powerful individuals of their generation in the monastery.

They were also a couple.

But they were no match for the tyranny of Evil Shadow City.

They had absolutely no ability to resist! Not even the thought of doing so.

"Lord Nock is still merciful."

The spellcaster said expressionlessly, "Lord Vilan often taught us not to waste our energy on making choices unless absolutely necessary."

"Since you like them, let's have them both."

"When I go back to the dungeon to work overtime, I'll have someone to keep me company."

Nock heard this.

He nodded approvingly. "That makes sense."

He waved as he spoke.

Let the spellcaster go do his work.

Very soon.

Squads of Evil Mage appeared at the edge of the swamp.

They began to mark the monsters with "Pre-spell Mark".

Did you hear that?

"Both of you stay."

"Everyone else can get out."

Nock chuckled softly:

"I haven't tasted the flavor of a fairy yet."

The people of Dark Moon Fortress left one after another.

The people from the Fairy Monastery also glanced at them.

Then he walked away with a look of shame on his face.

The young couple embraced.

My whole body was trembling.

The girl had already begun wiping away tears.

As for that handsome young man...

Tears had already flowed like a river.

They dared not resist.

They also lacked the means to resist.

They could only stand still.

They watched helplessly as that demonic being approached them step by step.

A resolute glint flashed in the girl's eyes.

A faint glint appeared on her wrist.

A barely perceptible sliver of a blade faintly appeared.

However, the next second...

Her hand was firmly held down by her boyfriend.

"Forget it."

The young man, tears streaming down his face, choked out:

"I can endure this for the sake of the monastery, so you should too..."

The girl stared at him Ruo Tree.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Nock burst into laughter.

At the edge of the swamp.

Rumors have already reached us that the Evil Mage are searching for the mud monster's lair.

But at that very moment...

A deafening explosion occurred in that direction.

Immediately afterwards.

All the Evil Mage present clutched their abdomens in excruciating pain!

Some are serious.

His knees buckled and he knelt on the ground!

Who is it?

Nock's expression turned serious.

I turned my head to look.

But the edge of the swamp was visible.

Three rounds of sword rain fell in succession.

They chopped those hundreds of Evil Mage and resurrected beings into mincemeat!

"I was actually thinking of holding back a little longer..."

"But since you're going to harm my brother, I have no choice but to send you on your way first."

Amidst a rain of swords.

A young man dressed only in a white shirt and black pants walked over with a sigh.

The next second.

His figure disappeared from the spot.

Nock turned around in horror.

On the magic carpet.

Beside a prop resembling an incense burner.

The man's figure reappeared.

The layers of magical barriers surrounding the Sub-Plane seemed to exist entirely outside of him.

As his fingers continued to glide lightly.

A portal that breaks through all magical barriers has appeared.

Roger lowered his body slightly.

He then squeezed in.

Hint: You have discovered ' Life Mother Pool ' No. 11.

Looking at the jade-like blood pool that resembled a giant cauldron.

Roger simply raised his fist silently.

Then a simple and unadorned Mountain Splitting Fist came down!

"Power Authority: Break All Laws With One Force!"...

Crash! The Life Mother Pool shattered in response.

The next second.

All the Evil Mage cried out in agony! They all coughed up blood.

They fell down one after another, like wheat seedlings in the wind.

He never got up again.

"Notification: You destroyed the 11th Life Mother Pool, and you killed 339 Evil Mage."

"Warning: You have triggered a Sky Island alert. Sky Island 9 will be sending reinforcements here at top speed..."

"Sixth Sense: You foresee that Sky Island 11 and Sky Island 7 will also reinforce this area..."

Come on, come on.

"Let me see how hard you've worked for all this time."

"Just how many Sun Fragment have been collected?"

Roger calmly walked out of the Sub-Plane where the Life Mother Pool Concealment.

He looked down at the earth.

The remaining berserkers and resurrected ones looked at him as if he were a devil.

Yu Guangzhong.

Roger noticed Nock.

That berserker who was rough around the edges but meticulous at heart.

His expression at this moment was somewhat similar to that of the fairy couple behind him.

With Roger's perception abilities.

Naturally, they had heard about that 'good show' just now.

then.

Suddenly overcome by a mischievous impulse, Roger quickly walked over.

He said to Nock:

"Hey young man, you're in pretty good shape."

"You stay, everyone else can get out!"

Who knew that these words would come out so easily?

Nock breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Some were even overjoyed and asked, "Really?"

"What the hell?!"

Roger rolled his eyes.

A Taiyi Separating Fire Blade slashed down directly in front of him.

But this Nock is equally resourceful.

His statement "take it seriously" was entirely an act.

Long before Roger made his move.

The weapon hidden in his sleeve had already gone off!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Three gunshots rang out in quick succession.

That bullet flew faster than Roger's knife!

The two sides were so close.

It was clear that there was no way to avoid it.

Nock couldn't help but grin maliciously:

"Your knife isn't as fast as my gun!"

But the next second.

His expression froze.

In Nock's vision, which was so wide it felt like his eyeballs were about to burst.

Roger, whose hands were empty, simply raised his hand casually.

Without a sound or a sound.

The three bullets inexplicably turned and fired towards Nock himself!

Specialty: Transfer Star Shift!...

Three bullets rang out and struck Nock's chest armor.

It didn't even penetrate!

It's a pity.

The Taiyi Separating Fire Blade fell in response.

With the blessing of "Ten Years One Sword".

This strike ignored all of Nock's defenses on his neck.

He severed the berserker's head! Thud! Blood splattered all over the handsome young man's face.

The latter stared blankly at Roger.

Roger, however, did not look at him.

Instead, he looked at the data panel.

"You killed Nock (Berserker lv89/Elite/Cautious rank)"

"Extermination Order: You have acquired Nock's specialty - Neck Lock"

"Neck Lock: Use your strong, rough hands to snap your opponent's neck."

Special.

You have different Neck Lock techniques for different enemies.

You can grab an enemy's head, face, and throat in one go with your palm.

Then it unleashes an additional 300% of its power.

2. Medium-sized enemies (humans, orcs, elves, werewolves, etc.).

You can strangle an enemy with your forearm.

At the time of strangulation.

You will receive a 1000% bonus to your grappling and Neck Lock skills.

3. Large enemies (giants, wyverns, abnormal species, angels, etc.).

You can use all parts of your body, including your thighs, knees, hands, and torso, to perform Neck Lock on a large enemy.

It only takes a maximum of 18 seconds.

The target must withstand assessments such as 'suffocation', 'fainting', and 'lack of oxygen'.

4. Giant Enemies (dragons, titans, Behemoths, mechs, etc.).

Neck Lock are not recommended.

"You're really experienced..."

Roger sighed inwardly.

He was just about to free up his hands to deal with the other members of Evil Shadow City.

Who knew that at this very moment...

A new notification flashed by.

"A feat matching the Pingsha School Martial Arts style has been detected. Do you wish to consume 1 Martial Arts Insights and deduce martial arts related to this feat?"

Roger was slightly taken aback.

"What powerful martial arts techniques can be produced by Neck Lock?"
