Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 846 - 402: The Summoning of the Knowledge Servant of God, Who is the Evil God?

Chapter 846: Chapter 402: The Summoning of the Knowledge Servant of God, Who is the Evil God?

After extracting a series of intelligence, Lin Xun’s expression grew grave.

The carriage’s destination was not a branch of the Polar Star Association but merely a temporary stronghold of the organization.

The Star Chanters had received orders to forcibly break into Blackwater Prison; If they could rescue the Star Priest, they were to compel the location of the Stars Map from him before eliminating all witnesses.

If they couldn’t rescue him, they still had to find a way to kill the Star Priest, or at the very least, cause a major disturbance within Blackwater Prison.

[You lift the "Sword of the Bloody King", disregarding the terrified look in the ’Star Chanter’s’ eyes, and slash across its throat...]

[Blood spurts and sprays, painting the interior of the carriage red, as it clutches its throat and slowly crumples to the ground, convulsing.]

[You have defeated the ’Up-Looking Polar Star Association Star Chanter’, experience has slightly increased!]

[You have obtained an ’Enlightening Chunk of Spirituality’ *1]

[You have received ’Beacon of the Fine Copper Carriage’ (special item)]

[You have obtained ’Travel Map to the Polar Star Association’s Temporary Stronghold’ (map)]

[You look towards the collapsed body in front of you...]

[The shell of the ’Up-Looking Polar Star Association Star Chanter’: In comparison to the regular members of the Polar Star Association, the ’Star Chanters’, it held a slightly higher status and strength. The ’Star Chanter’ who accepted the prison break mission never expected to die at the hands of the one they came to rescue. Compatibility: 126% (+65%)]

[Do you want to inhabit this shell?]

After inhabiting the shell and checking its memories, the information about the Polar Star Association was sparse but matched what the ’Star Chanter’ had revealed, leaving no doubt about the accuracy of the intelligence.

The Polar Star Association comprised mostly of humans who had betrayed the ’Almighty True Knowledge’. Behind the organization was the covert support of the Star Gods, capable of commanding many powerful spirits of the Stars.

The organization had always been collecting the scattered Chaos Divinity of the ’Almighty True Knowledge’, offering it as a sacrifice to the Star Gods; one part to seek the gods’ blessing, the other part to contribute divinity, strengthening the divine power of the Stars, in order to defeat the Almighty True Knowledge...

The Stars Map was also an item needed by the Polar Star Association.

However, the ’Star Priest’ had already been captured and imprisoned by the School for some time, and any secrets to be divulged had already been extracted.

Even if the Polar Star Association learned the whereabouts of the Stars Map from the ’Star Priest’, it was highly likely they wouldn’t be able to secure the map before the School did.

The Star Chanter was just one of the elite minions within the Polar Star Association and did not know too much about the rescue mission.

Lin Xun furrowed his brows, sensing something amiss.

"According to what the Star Chanter said, rescuing the Star Priest is no longer of much importance... This action seems more like a smokescreen rather than a rescue," he mused.

He shook his head, deciding not to dwell on the conspiracies and deceit; the urgency of the moment was to explore the Chapter rapidly and strengthen his abilities.

As the Chapter progressed, the difficulty of the game would kick up significantly; currently, brute force was sufficient to overpower the monsters, but once the various bosses made their entrance, it was uncertain who would be the one to get beaten.

The ’Star Chanter’ had dropped a ’Refined Copper Beacon’ that controlled the carriage, along with a map leading to the Polar Star Association’s temporary stronghold.

In the previous Chapter Four, he too had a ’Refined Copper Beacon,’ which had become ineffective here, whether due to the lapse of time or the great distance between the two places.

[...]

[Suddenly, from outside the carriage came the sound of another Fine Copper Carriage racing by, the metallic hooves clattering on the ground, the sound of the wheels rolling on the road growing ever closer to you...]

[That carriage is clearly heading straight for you!]

[Surprised, you wonder who would be pursuing you within the Knowledge Barrier?]

[You open the carriage door; the wind rushes in, and grasping the door, you look back...]

[Through the endless fog, the silhouette of a carriage becomes increasingly clear, its door wide open...]

[All you see is a magic wand extending from within, and in a flash of white light, countless tiny characters converge into a torrent of magic, rushing fiercely towards you!]

[You inhabit the shell of the ’Son of the Initial Fire of Desire’!]

[You leap out of the carriage, and upon touching the ground, you see that surging stream of characters engulf the Fine Copper Carriage, obliterating it instantly under the tremendous magic power.]

[The Fine Copper Carriage in the distance stops, its door swings open, and a gaunt scholar steps out.]

[His black magic robe is emblazoned with a gigantic eye on the chest, not as an ornamental design, but it’s an enormous, blinking eyeball!]

[The unknown scholar lifts the brim of his hat, revealing his face with every feature intact except for eyes, with the sole eye on his body occupying the entire chest - a monstrous large eye!]

[You have discovered the ’Inquiring Direct View School Branch Association Scholar’!]

[Experiencing the Branch Association Scholar for the first time, your knowledge increases by 3000! Current Knowledge: 27800/37800]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes; his newly acquired Fine Copper Carriage had just been obliterated by this person’s spell, not a trace left behind.

However, this scholar’s carriage seemed to run even faster than the one he was just in, didn’t it?

[Your eyes sharpen, you step onto the ground, and your figure vanishes from the spot...]

[When you reappear, you are in front of the ’Scholar’, its chest-eye widened in shock as it lifts its magic wand, and an impenetrably strong ’Knowledge Light Wall’ erupts from the ground, encasing it securely within...]

[At that moment, numerous erratic characters emerge from the fog nearby, gradually assembling and forming into a huge and ferocious beast.]
