Versatile: Alternate World-Chapter 611 Ocean Of Monsters (I)

Alynna could not believe her ears after hearing the news I said to her. But anyone else will not believe it either if they heard it themselves. Doing it solo is something that anyone would not think of easily. However, I am not someone who would say something so impossible and not bring any proof of my exploits.

"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this and see for yourself," then I handed the broken core that the cult leader destroyed.

Since NPCs can also see the description status, they can immediately see what I am showing them without getting confused. The core still retains some of its info back when it was still an intact core but with updated information about the Tormentor's death and the broken form of the core.

Alynna immediately inspected the item in her hands and soon her facial expression changed. Once she finished inspecting the shards, she returned them back to my hands.

"Alright, I think this alone is enough that you have indeed done the thing. What about the cult itself?"

"The leader already died as she was used as the material to materialize the Tormentor into a being. As for the members, they also died after they suffered the same fate as the cult leader and got absorbed."

"And you did this all by yourself?" f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

"Yeah, I did but it was f*cking hard and I almost died multiple times. Saved a few times due to the Flight. If not for that, I have been already squished paste and would not be standing in front of you right now."

"But you are an adventurer, you guys don't die and just revive themselves. What's the loss of your death anyways? But still, you did a great thing. We have to announce this to everyone and to ensure that your efforts are rewarded."

"You can announce it but just keep quiet about my involvement in this case. The fewer people who know, the better."

"Really? You really want to miss out on this golden opportunity to get really famous?" Alynna frowned at my decision of declining the reward and publicity.

"Nah, I know the harmful effects of popularity. Better keep it quiet and leave it to the imagination of others. In exchange, I wanted to gain access to the barred sections that stop us from crossing the borders outside the City of Clouds. I noticed that the legionnaires are guarding a vast majority of the Luminous Continent and we can't get past it in the air either."

"Oh, don't worry about that. Now that the Cult has been destroyed and the so-called god that they worship is also gone too, there is no need for us to keep the borders closed. We will be opening them tomorrow morning."

"That's great. Then, I should get going. I have to rest my body from all the sh*t that I came through."

"Indeed. However, we will still offer you the rewards you wanted to get. It's inappropriate for us to just leave you not getting rewarded for your efforts."

"Oh no, there is no need really, Just give it to other people instead."

"I insist."

"I-"

This was something that I just learned just now about Alynna. She is a persistent woman no matter what you say.

"Alright, alright. I will receive that later on, I don't really care what the reward is so just award me whatever is appropriate. Anyways, I need to get going."

"Okay, I won't hold you back on your rest then. Anyways, once you cross the borders tomorrow, the guards guarding them will no longer be there and the barrier that stops anyone from exploring the remainder of the Luminous Continent can now explore it. Thank you for the hard work of helping us solve the biggest problem the Luminous Continent has experienced so far."

"Just doing the job."

As much as I want to comment that this event will not be the biggest problem they will be facing, I decided not to say anything and just left the office. My job in the City of Clouds is done, time to get back to my camp and then log out for the rest of the day.

,m Slowly opening my eyes, I stood up from the bed and stretch my body. It's been a long time since I did that much long combat. The last time I did was during the raid against Cath Palug. Today was not that bad but since the battles I have done usually just last a few moments before they ended then get some good rest, I don't feel that much fatigue settles in my body.

"Oh crap, I really need to do some good workout to alleviate the fatigue in my body after playing for lengthy of hours without rest."

I decided to just go to sleep and call it a day instead. Tomorrow is another test day and I don't want to get late by tomorrow.

...

...

...

The next day, I went to school, took the test, and went back home. The fatigue was just temporary so it didn't really make me feel too tired to move for the next day so everything was alright. The day was uneventful and the others are just the same as always, busy with the test so they are still not going to be available until then.

And just like the other day, I log back into the game. A day has passed in the game and it's currently early in the morning in the Alternate World. I keep wondering how I don't feel like I am not playing a game and was transported to another world instead. Everything is real to the point I always forgot that I am just playing a game. However, I didn't mind that. This was a good game that allows me to forget reality once in a while. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Now, we have to see whether what Alynna said is true and whether the borders have cleared up. I don't need to keep the camp anymore so I packed up all of my things and went to the border where stepping through it will allow you to leave the City of the Clouds.

The next border barrier is near so it didn't take me time to go and went there. And just like what Alynna said, the place is no longer guarded by the Legionnaires meaning, everyone can now explore further.

With this confirmation, I summoned Leona and allowed her to fly high in the sky. We will be going to the edge of the Luminous Continent and reach the Dark Sea there where the next content "Boss Rush" mode will be available to anyone who visits the place. Not only is it a good place to farm experience under level 150 but also a good place to farm crystals for elemental weapon imbuing.

But this is where the inconsistency goes. Dark Sea was located below the Luminous Continent. Since it was under the Luminous Continent, shouldn't it be that the Dark Sea can only be accessed by those on the mainland?

Wrong.

Dark Sea is part of the Luminous Continent despite it being part of the mainland and does not float in the sky. However, this is where the confusion of the players went after realizing that you cannot access the Dark Sea unless you go to the Luminous Continent and go to the designated area to access it.

The main question that players ask, why does the Dark Sea which is located below the Luminous Continent is not accessible to those who are staying on the mainland. The answer is simple, a small force will force players to leave the Dark Sea if accessed on the mainland and if accessed on the sea, the vehicle anyone used to reach the area will be sunk by monsters immediately and to safely access the place without being killed or forced to leave the area is to access it to the Luminous Continent's hidden area.

Back in the past timeline, the Dark Sea was not accessible and no one else can explore the place until a party discovered the hidden area and 'realized that it was the way to reach the Dark Sea without being forced outside the Dark Sea or getting sunk by monsters doing that. This information led to the Dark Sea being discovered by players as a result.

And as a result, the Boss Rush mode was finally played and the first party who experience it went out stronger and full of loot in their inventories. This made the Dark Sea popular. And so farming the Boss Rush mode was the one that people wanted to do as it was an actual endgame that anyone wanted to do to test their mettle and fight monsters.

Leona fly through the directions I told her before we slowly landed on the nearby land where only a single well and a normal house are currently the only ones that left the player capable of doing things. I am not even that far but I am already able to smell the water. It's time.
