Chapter 357 Reversal

“Interesting. So interesting…”

As the Players continued exploring as his tentacles, Xi Wei had basically drawn all of the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN) under his control.

While it was not to the extent that he could manipulate it as he wished, he had reached the level where he could spy into every secret of the Faint Crystal and Deep Wall Strata. He could now observe the intentions of the designers, and it wouldn’t a problem if he wanted to build lifestones on the first two strata.

“But unlike the Tortoise Colossus which is just a container, the Faint Crystal is the real outer shell that ensures the completeness of the Elven SIN. As for the Deep Wall Stratum beneath it, it would be where failures were kept and the bridge for launching a siege, aside from acting as an inner section of the outer shell. To use a weapon for comparison, it would be like the barrel of a gun or a cannon.”

It is worth mentioning that the monsters in the Elven SIN were not full artificial lifeforms. Instead, they were creatures that existed in the high elves’ era which they modified with biological magitek, meaning that they were chimaeras in a fundamental definition.

“If the two outer stratums are already so interesting, what would the three inner stratums that holds the secrets of the Elven Sin be like? Really hoping that the players could put in more effort.

Xi Wei sighed. “After all, it seems that there are some who are now watching my movements.”

Since Sefarim had not been fully restored (or refurbished), Jessica did not participate in the ‘Elven SIN: Ancient Atrocities’ event at first, and was staying in Trinia to accompany Sefarim.

But with her companions being routed in the dungeons and forced to ask her for help, Jessica did not hesitate to agree to Edward’s request to join his party.

Still, since Sefarim was not fully restored (refurbished), Jessica could only join the event as an ordinary Holy Lancer.

It was fortunate that Edward and the others were first-rate Players who possess many rate materials. Couple that with their good relations with others, they could buy certain items they lack from other players at a reasonable price.

And soon enough, Edward and his party managed to forge another holy lance for Jessica to temporarily replace Sefarim, allowing her to use the standard class skills of Holy Lancer.

Hence, Edward spent almost a day to draft a party. With his original first-rate team members acting as the foundation, along the addition of two more super first-rate Players in Leah’s Warrior Princess hidden-class as well as Mufasa the Twin City Cup champion, the new party was very much a dream team amongst the Players.

Still, this new party had one problem: Mufasa, their main damage dealer hadn’t been killed and therefore had not left the dungeon yet… That was why Edward couldn’t stop himself from @ing Mufasa on the forums, but didn’t get a single reply.

It was only until the entire party became slightly impatient that he finally answered in the post.

[Mufasa: I’m not dying anytime soon]

[Edward: ???]

[Mufasa: After you died, I start killing everything around me since I can’t see clearly anyway…]

(Edward: And? You killed them all?]

[Mufasa: No way. I’ve only managed to free myself from their encirclement, although I can’t feel them around me now so I should be safe.

(Edward: …]

Didn’t we promise to all die and get out her? How could you be so outstanding?

That being said, it’s not unusual when one thought about it. Kengyoku Swordmasters were a specialized branch for inflicting single-target damage, coupled with excellent individual endurance because their skill costs were very low, not to mention that they had a killing-intent sense (the passive skill where a

shows up over their head) which is a perfect counter against an enemy’s blindsiding.

Considering that Mufasa was fully invested in Kengyoku as well, he probably had invested many skill points into his various techniques and therefore had a much higher standard compared to other Swordmasters who invested their skill points in different skill branches. As such, as long as he didn’t run into some high defense, high HP and mountain-sized monster with AOE skills while brawling, soloing wouldn’t be a problem.

Be that as it may, it still surprised Edward that he could cut his way through the monsters’ encircling in a single stroke and escape directly, which make it clear that the upper limit of a specialized Kengyoku assuredly far surpassed most normal classes.

Naturally, their lower limit was beneath other classes and skill branches. That was perhaps why many Players who were moved by Mufasa’s feats and therefore taken up Kengyoku was still very noob…

(Edward: So? Have you reached Steel Earth?]

[Mufasa: No way. I’ve just finished my thoughtless massacre, so I’m actually having problems with directions—I don’t even know where I am now.]

[Edward: Well, that’s going to be problem…] (Mufasa: I could still see a few blinks of light, but most of those are fluorescence the monsters used to lure prey. Moreover, I’ve used up quite a lot of stamina, so I could just slowly float upwards while waiting for it to recover.]

(Edward: Well, Kengyoku skills are more demanding on stamina than mana…]

It was right after he sent the message when Edward suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Floating?

Weren’t they sinking continuously when they just entered Dark Sky?

Could it be that the buoyancy beneath Dark Sky was stronger?

“That’s not quite right…”

This dungeon was made by the high elves after all, and something so meaningless wouldn’t be the case.And with that possibility being eliminated, the most probable reason was that Mufasa had inadvertently flipped himself while fighting

Without anything to act as a reference, he got his directions mixed up: he thought he was floating, when he was actually sinking. “Eh?”

Edward suddenly felt inspired at that thought.

He didn’t notice it at first, but when he remembered it, there were many monsters that resembled fishes when the light from the Blue Eyes Whitefire Dragon revealed them. In fact, even Sky Highs resembled some of the shelled monsters found in the sea…

Could it be that the high elves created this simulated world by using a reversed system, where the skies were below while the ground was above?

Considering that the Elven SIN was itself an anti-world weapon, that was very likely!

Reversing the world, jumbling up all common sense so that even Rules became abnormal.

One could put it this way: The Elven SIN is a syringe that injects its abnormal Rules into a separate plane during contact. After it instantly throws all existences and phenomenon in that plane into disarray so that there was chaos in their very foundation, the targeted plane would never be able to resist—let alone retaliate!
