Volume 8: A Trip to the Sick Village Chapter 382 Hidden BOSS
"Are you sure? How can you be sure?" Marshall asked back. He kept approaching Asano Akira, trying to cover Asano Akira with his "absolute control field", while the latter kept swinging the sword in his hand, cutting off those invisible hands one by one, fighting and retreating.
Although Asano Akira's eyes were blind, he could clearly feel those materialized thoughts... In this battle, blindness not only did not bring any negative effects, but instead allowed him to have no distractions and focus all his attention on the perception of mental power - Asano Akira remembered that when he described this ability to Ke Lan, Ke Lan gave it a name, called "mind's eye".
When she was free, Ke Lan would sometimes come to chat with him. Although the process of the chat was basically Ke Lan talking a lot, and Asano Akira would respond with a short sentence, or even a few words, he wrote down everything Ke Lan said.
His past life was very monotonous. After his parents were exiled, he spent his childhood relying on the minimum living allowance issued by the Ark. After joining this experimental project and becoming an experimental subject, the days of living in the closed experimental base were extremely boring... Even after regaining his freedom, he was used to this kind of life and no longer took the initiative to care about things that were not related to survival.
Apart from the time for eating, sleeping and going out on missions, Asano Akira spent most of his free time holding his sword in a daze or practicing sword in the room.
His residence was very spacious. Apart from the bathroom which was simply separated by a curtain, the only piece of furniture in the entire room was the bed in the corner.
There was no table, stove, or cooking utensils in the room, not even a bowl. He never cooked , nor did he order takeout. Under his bed, there were several boxes of military compressed biscuits that did not require cooking, and bottles of vitamin supplements and large bottles of pure drinking water were piled in the corners. Asano Akira had been eating these kinds of "food" for several years, and he had never tried other foods.
No wonder the hound was so surprised when they were in the bottomless pit - "You are a Japanese, but you have never eaten Japanese food?"
Although he became a relic hunter, Asano Akira rarely took on missions. Apart from paying for the use of his residence and purchasing daily necessities, he had no other money to spend... He would only take on a new mission when his compressed biscuits were almost finished .
Until he received the mission to explore the glacial ruins.
A group of people broke into his life.
…
Asano Akira remembered it very clearly. It was after the Leviathan incident that Ke Lan talked about his abilities in a casual chat. He said that in the old era, there was a very popular online game called "Dungeon & Fighter", in which there was a profession called "Asura", who was very similar to himself.
Asano Akira didn't know what a "dungeon city" was. From a literal sense, it should be a city built underground, which should be similar to some relics of the Alpha civilization.
Ke Lan said that the Asuras in the game are a group of blind swordsmen who voluntarily gave up their eyes and instead used something called "waves" to perceive the world. This perception ability is called "mind's eye."
"It's exactly the same!" Ke Lan said, "Isn't the power of thought similar to the wave force in the game?"
"I don't know...what is the power of waves?" replied Asano Akira.
"Uh... I don't know how to describe it. It's probably a force that is invisible to the naked eye, right? For example, when a gust of wind blows on your face, you can't see the flowing air, but the skin and muscles on your face can feel its presence..."
Asano Akira imagined what that feeling would be like, and then told Ke Lan that until the experimental project was stopped, no one had been able to achieve this level.
Materializing thoughts is a concept that only appears in the virtual program of a supercomputer .
…
But now, a living "perfect individual" is standing in front of Asano Akira and is constantly attacking him.
Asano Akira could "see" the materialized willpower flowing around Marshall. These things were as surging as rivers and seas, and could condense into powerful and swift attack moves at any time - and the limit of what he could do was just to attach a very small amount of willpower to the blade and keep swinging it... It was as if he was using a flow as thick as a finger to cut off the huge tide pouring down.
The gap in power is so great that it can be described as "disparity" .
Asano Akira kept retreating. He had been forced into a dead end by Marshall, with messy scaffolding blocking his way.
"If you give up now, I won't kill you." Marshall walked towards him leisurely, his hands in his pockets. With just a thought, he would launch a wave of fierce attacks towards Asano Akira. Facing such an attack, Asano Akira had to mobilize all his strength to fight back. He had almost reached his limit, and the sweat had already soaked the clothes on his back.
"You can't win." Marshall continued, "Those people are right. Only the willpower of another experimental subject can break the absolute control field of the 'perfect individual'...but the reverse is also true. I can devour your insignificant willpower without any effort. Don't you understand? Your chances of winning are zero."
…
…
Area F, the abode of God, the "holy land".
Ke Lan carefully passed through the hatchery of the meat cocoons and continued to walk deeper into Area F.
He was a little curious. If that "wall of flesh and blood" was the "great god" believed by the followers of the Sick Village sect, then what was behind this "wall"?
It’s like playing a video game. If the “Great God” is the final BOSS of this Sick Village copy, then why is there such a large space left behind this final BOSS?
Moreover, the Wall of Flesh and Blood does not have any of the characteristics that a final boss should have.
For some reason, Ke Lan not only didn't find this guy scary, but instead found him a bit silly.
Rather than calling it a "great god", Ke Lan felt that it was more like a "symbol", an "idol" for the residents of the sick village to worship.
Then this "idol" also took on the task of producing the "elite monsters" in the dungeon...
Ke Lan felt that if he was the designer of this dungeon, he would never make the Wall of Flesh and Blood the final BOSS of the dungeon... On the surface, the Wall of Flesh and Blood was the end of the dungeon, but in fact, after climbing over this wall, there should be an even more powerful hidden BOSS behind it.
This hidden BOSS is the real controller of this space station.
