Chapter 230 New Level 2 Player

At the end of the long corridor is the dark, moldy basement of Storm's End Castle, lit with countless candles.

"Ahem..."

Stowaway X, who had been unconscious for a long time, gradually regained consciousness.

First he felt pain all over his body, and then there was extreme tightness in his chest, as if he had a nightmare of drowning in the deep sea. X desperately took in a breath of air and opened his eyes suddenly.

"This is where?"

The candlelight pierced his eyes, and X saw a candlestick as tall as the entire wall. Behind the candlestick were walls and stone pillars covered with green moss.

"Looks like you're awake."

A dry and hoarse voice sounded that frightened X.

Although X couldn't understand what the hoarse voice was saying, he remembered that the voice was what he heard before he lost consciousness, and it was the terrifying skull face.

He raised his head, and sure enough, the skull-faced man in black robes was standing not far in front of him, staring at him.

X wanted to escape in fear, but then he realized that his hands and feet had been tightly tied to the chair.

Opening the system interface, X found to his chagrin that he only had 10 energy points left, which was not enough to use the skill "Particle Escape".

"Don't waste time, let him answer the questions."

Suddenly, a deep and powerful voice sounded.

X looked around in fear. In the dark basement, in addition to the skull face, there were also several skull-faced subordinates with pale skin and looking very unhealthy.

X could not have imagined that anyone else could make a strong and powerful voice here.

"Okay, Lord Governor."

On the other side, Mathas, who heard Governor Fell's words, replied.

There are so many things going on now, it is really not the time to tease the prey.

"May I have your name?"

Mathas, who was as skinny as a skeleton and looked like a skeleton, walked up to X and stared at X with his scarlet eyes.

"What the hell is he talking about?"

Seeing Mathas approaching,

Unable to answer, X just remained silent and did not respond.

Seeing X's uncooperative attitude, Mathas twitched the corner of his mouth in mockery.

"I ask again, what is your name?"

Mathus raised his hand forward as he spoke, the Soul Eater's soul-torturing spells ready to go.

In the dark basement, the purple spell light illuminated X's forehead. X knew how powerful this spell was.

But he couldn't understand the other person's language and couldn't answer even if he wanted to.

However, since he can become a second-level player, it is impossible for X to have no strengths.

At this moment, he suppressed his fear and just stared at the system panel in front of him.

On the numerical visualization system panel, the number behind the column of energy value is growing very slowly.

11…12…

X knows that as long as the energy value increases to 30, he can use the "Particle Escape" skill once.

This is an extremely effective escape skill. It can instantly turn the body into nothingness and escape from the current dangerous situation.

And as long as he is within the duration of the particle escape buff, he can use this skill multiple times. The escape distance will be reduced, but it is still a good way to save his life.

X relied on this skill to survive various hardships and dangers in the past.

It was precisely because of this skill that X dared to sneak into the fifth-level world and take risks alone.

Although he ended up being caught by powerful natives, X still firmly believed that as long as the system was still there and the skills were still there, he could escape unscathed.

the other side.

Seeing that X still didn't speak, Mathas thought that the person Cocoon asked to catch turned out to be a hard-boned person.

With a disdainful sneer in his heart, Mathas took another step forward, and at the same time the purple light in his hand grew stronger. He purely wanted to teach X a lesson.

Mathas is now a fifth-level soul eater. He doesn't believe that anyone can withstand his fifth-level soul eater's soul-torture spell.

The powerful and oppressive purple light approached X, and the light illuminated his face. As the purple light got closer and closer...

"Winter! Winter! Winter!"

Waves of unspeakable heartache came, and X felt like his heart was like a steam train sprinting at high speed.

"Still not telling?"

Mathas smiled playfully. He turned his palm back, purple light flowed, and the soul-torture spell penetrated into X's body, instantly biting his soul.

"ah--"

X's screams came instantly, and blood spilled from his mouth and nose.

As if he didn't want him to pass out, Mathas, who had extensive experience in torturing prey, this time controlled the force just to the limit that the opponent could not bear.

Feeling the chaos and pain of being out of his body, X's mind was trance-like. He broke through his guard and shouted:

"Who are you! Where is this! Why the hell are you arresting me! I don't understand what you are saying, do you know! Are you a fool!"

A series of nonsensical words from

On the other side, Marthas and the Governor were both stunned when they saw the strong man in front of them finally spoke, but when he spoke it was in a completely incomprehensible language.

The Governor and Mathas were both men who had seen the world, and they recognized that the language spoken by X was not a lingua franca, nor did it resemble the dialect of any remote island.

"Ask him if he's a player."

Governor Fehr's rich and powerful voice sounded. He thought of the players he had captured before and the strange things he heard from the players about another world.

However, since the player clearly knows the lingua franca of the Endless Sea, this person must be pretending.

Because the torture stopped temporarily, X regained some consciousness.

He heard a deep and powerful voice again, and immediately looked at the source of the sound with vigilance.

Then he was shocked to find that the rich and powerful voice actually came from the mouth of the skull face.

Because it was so unexpected, X mumbled unconsciously, not caring about the blood spilling from his mouth.

"What is he talking about again?"

Looking at the situation in front of him, Mathas was puzzled.

The same was true for Governor Feier, but he thought that catching this man was an order from Cocoon, and Cocoon said that after catching him and getting his treasure, he would be able to learn the secret of the God of Creation.

'Treasure... secret...'

"Continue the torture."

The spell that tortured the soul was revived. This time, Mathas used the power to give X the ability to think and answer questions. In the scorching purple light:

"Are you a player?"

"What the hell did you say?! Skull face!"

"Who are you and why do you come to Storm Island?"

"What the hell did you say?!"

"You went to the volcano? What were you doing there?"

"I don't understand! Do you understand?"

"Oh, stop pretending. You have no idea what you're facing?"

"Are you a fool?! What a pervert!"

In the dark and damp basement, there were screams and screams.

X endured the pain of soul torture. He cursed nonsense in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the system panel in front of him.

17…18…

His energy value is slowly recovering, and as long as he saves 30 points, he can use skill particles to escape.

The soul torture cast by Massas was powerful every time, but X could see clearly that the purple light spell that caused him extreme pain had no effect on his energy recovery, let alone the system panel.

‘I am a player, I have a system, and I have support from a force stronger than them.

This native has no godhead, and he does not have the power to transcend the concrete world.

He can kill me directly, but as long as the system is still there and the skills are still there, I will be able to escape quickly. ’

Looking at the system panel in front of me, although the purple light of the soul torture spell can illuminate it and pass through it, the system panel is still stable, clear and operating normally.

Now, this system is the last pillar supporting X.

As long as the system is there and the skills are still there, he still has a chance to escape.

And the other side.

After being tortured to extract a confession, and seeing the strong man bleeding from all his orifices but still speaking an unknown language, Mathas and the Governor had no choice but to admit that they did not understand the language, and further interrogation would be a waste of time.

"We still have to let Cocoon come forward."

Governor Fair concluded.

Since it was Lava Lord Cocoon who caught this person, he must have a way to get what he wanted from this person.

"But……"

Mathas was very hesitant when he heard this. As he spoke, he took out a black, dull crystal.

This is the cocoon that has not yet fully awakened, a medium for communicating with the Governor and Mathas.

Cocoon passed through this black crystal and passed orders to Governor Mathas on how to help them wake up. In order to facilitate their execution of the orders, it also taught them terrible spells.

This is also the reason why Mathas's apprentice drives the filthy monsters.

The last order conveyed by Cocoon through the black crystal was to order them to capture X.

"The lord's awakening has reached a critical moment, so we shouldn't disturb him."

When it comes to the mysterious power of the lava lord Cocoon, which is absolutely powerful, Mathas, who has respected power all his life, is very cautious and fearful.

He thought for a while and added:

"Besides, it has always been the lord who gives us inspiration, and we have never taken the initiative to ask the lord for instructions."

Seeing Martha's humble and cautious attitude, Governor Fehr felt contemptuous and disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for obtaining the godhead under Storm Island, if it weren't for Cocoon's ability to break the restrictions on extracting godhead, or if it wasn't for the purpose of overthrowing the king of the Sea Throne and clearing the family's shame...

He would not cooperate with the filthy lava lord, let alone merge with Mathas's soul.

"It was Yu Yu who asked us to catch this person. If the interrogation is delayed or something goes wrong, aren't you afraid of Yu Yu being blamed?"

Penlos Fell took over the control of his mouth and asked rhetorically.

"Ah, yes! It makes sense! It makes sense!"

When he heard that something was wrong and blamed, Mathas nodded his head in agreement as if he was waking up from a dream.

He cautiously and respectfully held the black crystal with his dry hands. Just when he was thinking about how to speak, the black crystal he held in his hands suddenly glowed slightly with flames.

The next second, before Mathas could react, the black crystal burned hotly.

What followed was a low whisper that Sisi could not hear clearly, and Cocoon responded to them.

But as if he was forced to allocate his energy and was in a hurry, Cocoon ignored Mathas and the Governor.

The flames burning from the black crystal rolled directly into a slender fire snake, biting at the stowaway X who was tied to the chair.

Instantly, flames wrapped around X's body.

Irresistible pain and chaos gnawed at every inch of flesh and blood, and X was enveloped in tremendous pain.

Just now, he saw two people in the same body talking, seeming to be discussing something.

X knew that they must be discussing how to deal with him, but it didn't matter, his energy level was still recovering.

26……27……

He will succeed soon!

However, inexplicably, the black coal briquettes held in the hands of the skull-faced man suddenly caught fire.

Moreover, without seeing any movement from the skull face, the flame suddenly burned on himself.

Dirty, filthy, chaotic, all kinds of indescribable and indescribable feelings came.

Happiness plus pain, depression plus excitement...

X found that all his emotions and perceptions were immediately combined into thousands of weird things, and then all of them were stuffed into his brain at the same time.

In addition, what was stuffed into his brain were all kinds of thoughts he had ever had and the pictures he had experienced.

Unlike Marsas's soul torture, soul torture was external damage, and now this thing was destroying him from the inside.

In the chaotic thoughts and pictures, X suddenly felt a sense of familiarity unconsciously, which was very similar to the feeling he had on the volcano.

'Is it the cocoon that is waking up? '

Strongly holding on to the last bit of reason, X remembered what happened before.

'But...but what does the cocoon have to do with it? I have the system, I have skills...'

Thinking of the last pillar supporting himself, X looked at the system panel.

But in the chaos, he was horrified to find that the system panel, which was originally clear and unaffected, was now like a TV with interfered signals, with distorted images and dots.

‘No! How could it be! How could it be!’

Extremely shocked and terrified, X looked at the energy column like a drowning man desperately trying to jump into the water.

The collapse to the extreme happened, and his energy value no longer recovered, as if it was broken, and it remained at 27.

‘No! No!’

In the torture of near death, perhaps his brain was stuffed with the images he had experienced, X suddenly remembered that he had seen two third-level players with godhood dueling in another world.

It is said that in that duel, a third-level player almost broke the system of another third-level player.

Because the one who gave the player the system was the God of Creation, and the one who gave the player the godhood was also the God of Creation.

The player system and the godhood have the same source of power, which is the power that transcends the specific world and is also the highest level of power.

Therefore, no matter what means Marsas uses, he cannot affect X's system without the divine power.

But now, looking at the colorful system panel, X is desperate.

'Cocoon has divine power? Cocoon is a level 3 player? '

X's mind is full of fear and confusion. He can't figure out the whole story, let alone why Cocoon wants to trouble him.

However, as if responding to him, the flames that wrapped him forced a thought into his mind -

Hand over and give up your Earth Core.

"What! No! No!"

As soon as this thought came up, X began to take out the Earth Core from the seemingly broken system backpack uncontrollably.

"Ding Dong!"

The next second, a white, human-hand-sized shuttle-shaped object fell to the ground.

Seeing this, X collapsed and shouted. This is a tool for level 2 players to collect relics and fragments. Without it, it is equivalent to not being able to do tasks.

Not being able to do tasks means no contribution points. Without contribution points, you can't exchange for divine power and you can't upgrade.

The Earth Core is the foundation of level 2 players. You can't do without it!

But now, X, who was tortured physically and mentally, twisted wildly, trying to pick up the Earth Core that fell to the ground, but he was powerless.

On the other side.

When Marsas saw a strange white thing falling to the ground out of thin air, he hesitated for a moment, wondering what the cocoon meant and whether he should pick it up.

But the Governor, who had always been concerned about treasures and secrets, hesitated for a moment, then took control of his body and used Marsas' body to pick up the Earth Core that fell to the ground, which belonged to X.

A smooth and round touch came, but as the Earth Core was picked up, the Governor and Marsas, two souls in this body, had a line of text appear in front of their eyes at the same time:

[You have obtained the Earth Core that other players gave up. Do you want to let it bind to you? ]

[Binding reward: Become a second-level player and get a copy of the truth of the world. ]
