Chapter 190

“Two million blown?
Two million, that’s how many lives were blown away by the electric circle. The problem was the time spent in the electric circle.
“In that split second?
The time on the magic circle was short, not long, and Ming Hu couldn’t believe that two million lives had been lost in such a short time.
“This can’t be the underlying technology…?
Ming Hu thought about the electric circle and Deren. If this electric circle was a basic skill and Deren was surrounded by them when he captured her, it would be very difficult to kill her. Ming Hu opened his equipment window and checked the information on the necklace he was currently wearing.

Limit: Level 250, 400,000 health
Physical Defense: 200
Magic Defense: 200
When used, dispel all harmful effects on you. You become immune to all status ailments for 1 minute. (Cooldown: 20 hours)
A necklace said to have been worn by a legendary hero from ancient times, the Undying. It protects the wearer from various ailments.
“If this is all I need… I’ll be fine with the slowdown…
The electricity from the electricity circle electrocuted him, reducing all his speed by 70%. If you’re facing Deren and there’s a magic circle around you and you have to pass through it, you can use the amulet.
“We’ll see.
Of course, it wasn’t necessary to use the necklace. Ming Hu closed the equipment window and started walking again.
[The armored seahorse looks at you].
As expected, the message appeared shortly afterward, and Ming Hu hunted down an armored seahorse.
.
.

[You have killed Deren’s Hippocampus, current kill count: 50]
[You have killed 50 seahorses of Deren].
[Derren felt a strong sense of anger at your presence].
After defeating all of the Armored Seahorses, a message appeared stating that he felt a strong sense of anger, which was a step up from rage this time.
Siaak
At the same time, a magic circle appeared at Ming Hu’s feet. It was clearly the electric magic circle from earlier. Electric sparks began to fly from the magic circle.
SupportSupport
Soon, electricity began to spark from the circle.
[You’ve been electrocuted. All speeds are reduced by 70%].
Sure enough, there was an electric shock message. Ming Hu checked his health. As expected, his health was being drained at an alarming rate. Ming Hu walked away from the magic circle.
Siaak
Ming Hu stepped out of the magic circle, and the magic circle immediately disappeared.
“Is it going to keep coming…
He couldn’t be sure, but it seemed that every time he caught a seahorse, an electric circle of magic would appear. Ming Hu frowned and started walking again in search of the seahorse.
[You’ve been electrocuted. All speeds are reduced by 70%].
[You’ve been electrocuted. All speeds are reduced by 70%].
As expected, an electric magic circle appeared every time he caught a seahorse. Ming Hu watched the magic circle disappear and thought.
“When is it coming out…
She thought she’d see him soon, but he never showed up, just a message telling her what he thought of her.
[Derren felt a strong sense of murder in your presence].
‘If you felt murderous, you’d show up…’
Deren was now feeling more than anger toward Ming Hu, he was feeling murderous. But Deren did not appear before Ming Hu, only as a message. Ming Hu continued to pace, thinking.
“It’d be faster to find it this way.
Based on the message, it was clear that Deren was a conditional boss monster. However, he didn’t have to meet the conditions to appear. You could encounter it even if you didn’t fulfill the conditions. That was the moment.
[Derren’s shadow looks at you].
“Shadow?
When Ming Hu saw the message, he quickly looked around.
“…for?
In the distance, something was staring back at him, a creature similar in size to the seahorses he’d encountered so far, but instead of a seahorse, it was a dragon.
“Is that Deren’s shadow?
It was clear that Deren’s shadow was watching him. Ming Hu took a step forward, toward Deren’s shadow, which was watching him.
Siaak
Then a small magic circle appeared at his feet.
“…No way.
It was small, but it seemed to be the same magic circle that took two million lives every time it appeared.
Supporting positions
Soon, electricity began to emanate from the circle.
[You’ve been electrocuted. All speeds are reduced by 30%].
Is it because of its small size? The electric shock was slowing him down to 30% instead of 70%. Seeing the message, Ming Hu quickly moved away from the magic circle and began to run toward the shadows.
-Cheeky…
A grave voice rang in Ming Hu’s ears as he ran. At the same time, a round orb appeared from the shadow’s mouth and began to grow.
“Breathe?
It’s not a dragon, so I can’t call it a brass, but it’s definitely something like that.
Swoosh!
Soon a ball as large as The Shadow’s head began to fly toward Ming Hu. Ming Hu saw the orb coming toward him and quickly swerved to avoid it.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!
As if waiting for him to turn, the orb exploded. At the same time, the water around the orb began to freeze. Ming Hu moved quickly as he saw the ice rushing toward him, but it was even faster.
[Freeze for 20 seconds].
[50% increased damage taken from being frozen].
Everything around you is frozen. He tried to move his body, but it was still frozen. Ming Hu stared at the shadow he could see through the transparent ice. Around the shadow were several orbs of electric sparks.
-Return.
The shadow said.
Suk
As he finished speaking, the electric balls floating around him began to fly toward Ming Hu. They soon hit the ice and cracked it.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
The ice was soon broken and a message appeared.
[The freeze state is unfrozen].
[Electrocute for 10 seconds; all speeds are reduced by 30%].
When Ming Hu saw the message, he moved his body. His body moved as if he had been unfrozen, and once he was sure he was moving, he began to run toward the shadows again.
Siaak
In the shadow’s mouth, the orb that froze Ming Hu in place reappeared and began to grow in size.
“Moving Strike.
Seeing the orb, Ming Hu quickly used a Movement Strike to move in front of Shadow and open his fist.
Puck!
-billion.
The moment his fist touched the shadow’s body, a pained groan escaped the shadow’s mouth, and the orb that had been growing in size disappeared. With the orb gone, Ming Hu felt free to punch it again and again.
Puck! Puck! Puck!
[You have slain Deren’s Shadow].
[Only 5 prestige is gained].
After a few punches, a kill message appeared. When the kill message appeared, Ming Hu stopped punching and looked at his shadow, which was slowly beginning to collapse.
whisk
Soon, the shadow fell, and items appeared around the fallen shadow. Ming Hu smiled at the dropped items and stretched out his hand.
-You have acquired the Fake Women’s Robe made by Deren.
“Fake Yeo Yoo Ju?
Ming Hu looked at the round orb in his hand and quickly checked the item’s information.

A fake woman’s robe made by the water dragon Deren. Despite its fake appearance, it contains considerable power. It can also be used as an ingredient for items, and when used, freezes all enemies within a 50 meter radius for up to 1 minute. (Can be used 5 times)
‘yah….’
I was a little disappointed to hear that it was fake. But when I read the information, I was blown away. It could be used as an ingredient, and more importantly, the effects it could produce were incredible. Ming Hu placed the wine in his inventory and reached for the other two items.
-You have acquired the blood of a lesser dragon.
-You have acquired Deren’s Orb.
The dragon’s blood, although inferior, was hard to come by, and the Deren’s orb that the walrus had dropped earlier. Ming Hu placed the dragon’s blood and the orb in his inventory and closed it. Then he started walking again.
That was the moment.
[User “Ssangsal” has destroyed the first inhibitory orb].
[In the next 45 days, Agranecto, the Demon of Death, will descend upon the continent].
“…what?
* * * * *
7th Demon Realm Bone Forest. After opening the Demon Gate and entering, Sansal is currently hunting skeletons in the forest.
“Death Ball! Death Ball! Death Ball!”
Poof!
[Level Up!]
The skeleton then collapsed, revealing a message. Chansal grinned and pointed his staff at the fallen skeleton, shouting, “I’m going to kill you!
“Absorb!”
Ouch.
With a sharp cry, black energy flowed from the skeleton’s body and was sucked into the staff, and a message appeared.
[You have absorbed the energy of death. Gain 1 hit point].
“Hmph.”
Upon seeing the message, Chansal smirked evilly and opened his character window.

“Absorption would be a great skill if it wasn’t for the cooldown…”
He closed the character window with a rueful look, looked around, and started moving again in search of the skeleton. But it wasn’t long before he was forced to stop.
“…The temple?”
I wasn’t sure, but the building’s appearance suggested it was a temple.
“This is a demon world, so why is the temple… Is it a demonic temple?”
Puzzled as to why there was a temple in the demon realm, Sansal thought it might be the temple of a demon king and began to cautiously walk toward it.
“No one…huh? What’s that?”
Upon entering the temple, Sansal scratched his head at the empty interior until he spotted the orb of light floating in the center of the room and slowly approached it. Arriving in front of the orb, he looked it over, but didn’t see anything special.
“Can I touch it?
Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, Sansal pondered for a moment, then reached for the beads.
Jaw clenching
The moment he touched it, the bead cracked and a message appeared.
[The First Suppression Orb has been tainted by Death’s aura].
[The first inhibitory orb is destroyed].
“…Huh?”
He had only touched the orb, but a message appeared that smelled of something dangerous. Chansal looked away from the message with a puzzled expression and looked at the orb. The cracked orb of light began to turn black.
