I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill

Chapter 50.1: Hallmenta (1)



With each leap, the ground cracked and trembled. It was a sight that could cause doubt to anyone who saw it.

The Fifth Lord—the Mad King had already left Gaitan Lake and was crossing the mountain range to the southeast.

She stopped in front of a peak for a moment, not breathing a single breath.

“···Ha.”

The Mad King, who had been quietly staring into the air, burst out laughing out of nowhere.

It was because the thrill she had felt before had not yet completely gone away.

Then I’ll have to kill you too.’

It was such a feeble threat, but she felt eerie for a moment that she had goose bumps all over her back.

The Seventh Lord, when he spoke those words, really wanted to kill herself. She was sure of it.

However, some bastard who was about to die intervened, and the other forgot about it.

“Should I have pushed him harder?”

With great regret, she licked her lips with her tongue.

The battle to fight and kill each other was the most intense bliss she felt in her life.

Who would have survived if the iron rule of Lords not fighting against each other had been broken and they properly fought one another?

She was confident that she could kill all other Lords except for the Overlord, but she wasn’t so confident that she could do the same to that human, the Seventh Lord.

The Seventh Lord was never under her in terms of power. Even with a brief friction, she instinctively sensed it.

“Ha, shit. I can’t get the excitement down.”

Aww!

The Mad King, who clenched and opened her hand, clenched her fist. The huge peak in front collapsed completely.

She slammed the ground and flew high into the air again, continuing her movement.

She was getting tired of hunting monsters again. Maybe she should go to the eastern border to hunt demons.

***

After finding the mystery of space leap, and seeing the Seawater people left for their hometown, all work to be done on the Gaitan Lake had been completed.

After paying the commission promised to Havel, who enchanted him with underwater breathing magic, we separated and we left for the next destination.

“Are you talking about the chief mage of the Santea Imperial Family…?”

Asher’s expression hardened.

When I told her about what had happened at the lake, this was her reaction.

Because it was such a huge collision, she felt the presence from afar, but after thinking about what to do with the order to stay where she was, she stayed in the wagon. It was a good thing, as it wouldn’t have helped much if she had come, anyway.

“The chieftain died during the battle, and the rest of the Seawater people started their travel back to their home safely.”

“···I see.”

After hearing all the stories, Asher’s expression was a mixture of sadness and anger.

Perhaps it was her past that overlapped.

Because her tribe was annihilated by Santea’s forces and by one of the five stars.

“···”

I stared at Asher, whose eyes were sullen.

To be honest, I felt sorry for her.

Because, having played the game, I already knew that no one had survived the annihilation of the White Moon tribe other than her.

Of course, there was no way she could tacitly believe what she said, and there was no way to prove how I knew it.

But anyway, I knew the truth and needed her, so I was using it as a bait.

Her purpose in life was to find survivors of her clan and to take revenge on Santea.

Once she found out that there were no survivors in her clan, the only meaning left in her life was revenge.

In the game, she had already made valuable friends before she found out about that fact, so she no longer wanted to get involved in revenge. But I didn’t know what would happen now that I had changed the story.

The image of Anne screaming desperately in front of the chieftain’s corpse flashes through my mind.

If possible, I wanted to support Asher so that she would not go astray even after learning the truth, but this was a matter of emotion, not something that game knowledge could solve.

I think I’ve broken down quite a few of her barriers in our journey together so far, but the intimacy she has with me right now wasn’t that deep.

“Are you sure you want to get revenge on Santea?”

Asher looked at me, startled at my question.

Soon she answered with a complicated face.

“Honestly, I don’t know. Right now, I’m just concentrating on finding surviving members of my tribe.”

···Right.

I nodded and looked out the window.

Originally, I had planned to procrastinate as much as possible, but I changed my mind.

Whatever the outcome, if the opportunity arose, I would take Asher to that place as soon as possible.

Anyway, now there is one place left.

The search for the mystery was now at the end.

However, I had a foreboding that finding this mystery would be the most difficult road on the journey so far.

Because the hidden place was none other than a demonic land. So I put it at the last place we should go to.

If I didn’t get either the blood magic or the floating veil, I might have postponed the search for this mystery altogether.

Demonic land, Hallmenta.

As the name suggested, the term “demonic land” referred to an area where ordinary creatures cannot live.

A land of death where all kinds of bizarre terrain, environments, meteorological phenomena, and monsters beyond common sense existed.

On this continent, there were five demonic lands.

And now the place I was going to go to was a place called Hallmenta, which was very close to Calderic, a long way to the northwest of here.

It has a lot of monsters, but the terrain is also no joke.

Anyway, as long as I had blood magic and a floating veil, no matter how powerful the monsters I faced were, there’s no big risk.

And since I got the space leap, I didn’t have to worry about the terrain with many obstacles, even if I didn’t have Asher. I would still take her with me, though.

No matter how much magic I had, unless the opponent was a named boss, I could deal with almost any monster. Even Asher could do that as well.

I suddenly got curious and asked.

“Have you ever been to a demonic land?”

Asher answered with a puzzled look.

“I have not.”

“Then you’ll be able to experience it this time.”

“···Yes?”

“The next destination is the demonic land called Hallmenta.”

Asher blinked at my words.
