Chapter 180. Spirit World Escape No.1 (9)

Let me briefly talk about what happened before facing Asha.

While walking through Udan’s territory, I remembered that I barely checked the community yesterday because my thoughts were unnecessarily complicated.

Since I was getting tired of just walking around absentmindedly, I decided to check the community function again to figure out what “status window function restriction” meant.

Fortunately or unfortunately, everything worked normally except for photo attachments.

The photo attachment function hasn’t worked since I arrived in the spirit world. If it had, I would have taken pictures of Nix, Denzo, Nike, and Gukbap, whom I might never see again after leaving the spirit world, and saved them in “messages to myself.”

Perhaps this spirit world is a region(?) where photo attachments are restricted, like some kind of transmission limitation?

So there wasn’t actually a problem with the community system I’m currently using. When I return to the ground, the “photo attachment” function should work normally again.

The status window is fine too. The blessings, except for those related to totems, are displayed properly.

What is it? What exactly is being restricted? I wasn’t the only one wondering.

[FullPlay: I’ve been checking my status window and community all day.

Skills work fine, posts upload properly, and experience points keep increasing.

I can even level up my skills. I don’t understand what’s changed]

[TrustedMonkeyMan: It was just the goddess making a fuss~]

ㄴ [CowBikiniDance: You crazy bastard, you said something like “taken care of” yesterday and we thought we were all going to die]

ㄴ [Ghoulre: That’s why I kicked his ass earlier]

ㄴ [Bramanda: Ah, you shared a room with Ghoulre and MorningTent, right?]

ㄴ [Bench500: Hi Ghoulre, please kill MonkeyMan and MorningTent]

[SexualPaladin: It might have been Ishtania’s threat~?]

ㄴ [ShotgunAttack: This guy is still alive]

ㄴ [BasementActivist: Where are you and what are you doing?]

ㄴ [SexualPaladin: I’m with Skynet! It’s safe here, so don’t worry~!]

ㄴ [MalJukStreetRestorer: Skynet?! Is that user actually human!?]

ㄴ [NotACatfish: That bastard was confirmed human long ago when he drew pictures by hand, why are you late to the party]

ㄴ [SsangmundongMomDispenserDestroyer: Concept nerds meetup OMG]

As you can see, it wasn’t just in the spirit world; users on the ground didn’t notice anything different either.

[MeleeSpy: It’s just that updates have stopped, but there’s no problem with existing functions

I mentioned this in the last meeting. When the cathedral collapses, the community will be in the same situation as the “Champions of Storm” game.

It will continue to be maintained. Our abilities won’t disappear, and the community won’t be cut off.

This is just my guess, but the community system, that is, the status window, will likely continue to function unless the goddess directly intervenes in this world again and terminates it herself.

The fact that she didn’t terminate the status window when she had the chance before the cathedral collapsed suggests that it’s either troublesome for her.

Or difficult.

Anyway, the only difference is that no new possessed people will come. In a way, that’s fortunate. It means we’re the last ones to be kidnapped to this other world and suffer.

As for not being able to return to Earth, didn’t we all prepare for that?

The Storm God might be able to do something, but don’t get your hopes up. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Charon is right.

Unfortunately, Malak probably doesn’t have that kind of power. When this war ends, everyone should prepare for a new life]

– Comments –

[Puchilama: Shut up and bring back my EunuchBro]

[NotACatfish: Stop imitating Charon’s way of speaking. It’s really fucking annoying]

[FallenPowerKnight: A new life? You mean marry the natives, have kids, and live with them?]

ㄴ [FallenPowerKnight: On second thought, it doesn’t sound that bad]

ㄴ [SamuraiJackson: The barbarians might not know, but civilized people worship paladins. That’s actually better]

ㄴ [ChoiHarimSmokiedChicken: Who cares if civilized people worship us? There’s no TV, no computers, no smartphones, and no bidets]

ㄴ [LuluTV: H-honestly, I think one blonde beauty could replace all those things]

[WolfMan: A broken clock is right twice a day = Even MeleeSpy occasionally says something right]

As MeleeSpy posted yesterday, everything seems to be operating normally(?) except that no new possessed people are coming in.

“Are you checking the community?”

Gukbap quietly approached and asked. He must be bored with just walking aimlessly too.

“Yeah. They say the cathedral has collapsed?”

“The cathedral? Ha, it’s the end of days. Wait, what was the cathedral again?”

“…”

I’m at a loss for words. I need to get out of here quickly before I lose my memories.

As expected, my body became blurry two or three times last night. Not a good sign.

“We’ll definitely arrive before tonight ends. Please hang in there a little longer.”

I was walking hard, encouraged by Nike’s words.

“Malak’s proxy!!!”

A voice filled with resentment stopped me. Looking back, I saw Asha and her warriors dressed in Viking+pirate clothes(?) chasing after us.

That’s how we ended up in this situation.

“You betrayed me, killed me, and even desecrated my corpse! You, only you, I will never forgive!”

Asha… the original is still more bearable than the sea monster. She’s a tall female warrior with a reasonably toned body.

“Avatar of Tuga. It’s been a while.”

I was surprised, but not shocked to the point of being speechless. Since this is a place where barbarians who achieved great feats from Roa’s perspective come, I thought Asha, who had become an avatar, might be here too.

By the way, she called me “proxy” with a clear title, and she knows about Asha zombie.

It seems Tuga has set everything up.

“Proxy? What’s that?”

“I don’t know.”

Fortunately, my followers don’t seem to know what a proxy is. Well, it’s natural since they haven’t heard it directly from Roa.

“Who is she?”

Nike asked, quickly taking out her bow and arrows.

“The Black Coral tribe. Tuga’s followers and enemies we fought on the ground. They’re cannibals and tried to kill those who cooperated with me.”

“Ah, those filthy pirates. Bad habits are hard to break, they say.”

Nike pulled her bowstring, showing disgust.

“Companion of Rakan! I have no business with you! I don’t want unnecessary conflict, so leave!”

Asha, who was about to get upset at the word “pirate,” snorted and said.

“I have business with Malak’s proxy.”

Then Nike muttered something quietly and fired her arrow. I think she said “I must protect my son-in-law,” but I must have misheard.

“Then you will only suffer!”

Tuga’s followers gathered around Asha, who caught the arrow with her hand.

“Really now.”

Ha, look at that arrogance. She’s acting like Nike is the only variable and she can catch and punish me anytime.

She must think I’m weak because I appear as a human soul and am just watching.

“Tuga has lost his mind too. Sending trash like you to the spirit world. Tsk tsk.”

I casually engaged in some trash talk.

The reason I ran away from the ladybug monsters yesterday was because they were spirits.

Born and raised in the spirit world, they become dozens of times stronger in their home territory. They even had resistance to my blessings. They were several times stronger than Tuntuni, the only spirit on the ground.

But Asha? The Black Coral tribe? They’re just laughable.

Their avatar transformation or sea monster transformation buffs were abilities they could only use on the ground. Like Gukbap who lost all his paladin body and skills, they too were just ordinary human souls.

In contrast, I’m a proxy with Malak’s soul inside my soul. At least for now, Malak is me, and I am Malak.

Due to spec issues, I couldn’t handle all of true Malak’s power, but I can use some of his powers (blessings). And they dare to challenge me?

“What pathetic beasts, such lowly followers.”

“W-what? Y-you!!! What are you waiting for? Capture the proxy!”

Asha’s eyes widened, and she ground her teeth before giving the attack order.

“Yaaah!”

Men who looked like a cross between Vikings and pirates charged at us with axes and shields. Rough-looking guests.

“Conveniently, there are many plants here.”

I used the “Storm God’s Power” blessing on the grass beneath them.

“Whoa!”

“The grass suddenly!”

Rapidly growing plants blocked their path. This is just to buy time.

I used “Malak’s Domain” to float blue clouds. These two are the only blessings I can use right now.

Not only totem-related blessings but also blessings like “Zombie Control” or “Enhancement Tattoo” don’t work. Both blessings target human bodies.

Since only souls and consciousness exist in the spirit world, corpse control or body enhancement blessings don’t work.

But “Storm God’s Power” and “Malak’s Domain” could be used because they’re spiritual abilities.

Swoosh—!

I made it rain on the place that had now become like a reed field.

“Ugh…!”

They shiver. Their souls must feel frozen. I still have one more move.

“Get fried.”

I struck lightning where Asha was standing.
