I saw the waves of blood and frowned . It was a huge amount of blood that was more than I had expected . Was this all of Mudur's blood? It was ridiculous . It was amazing that it formed a lake without the red blood drying but it was even more amazing that there was such a large s.p.a.ce in the cave . Why was there such a s.p.a.ce?
“Chwik . You look like you're panicking . This is where Mudur, the primordial orc, died . Due to his tremendous vitality, he didn't die easily from the spider's venom . After his death, his bones were barely recovered from the river of blood . Our ancestors made the orcram with it . ”
I see . I knew why this was called Mudur's tomb . Mudur had died here . Looking at the enormous amount of blood in front of me, I could see how much he had struggled to hold onto his life . It was a disastrous death for the emperor, the first emperor to unite the power of the orcs . I opened my mouth, “I heard from Gorba . Didn't Mudur die at the hands of his children?”
“Chwik . You know this . That's right . I often wonder what it would've been like if Leica, the coalition of orcs, hadn't been formed . If this was the case, we wouldn't be scattered as we are now and we wouldn't have such hard lives . ”
“ . . . This is if Mudur was still here . ” In fact, Mudur was a great man . No matter how bad his personality, he was clearly a man who achieved great feats . “Your story is long . Didn't you want to study me?”
“Chwik . Dip your finger into that river . ”
I stepped toward the river of blood according to his words . Drain followed by my side and said, “Buroder, there is something wrong with this atmosphere . . . ”
“What's the big deal? It is virtual reality . I won't die . ”
Then I dipped my index finger in straight away .
[Spider venom has seeped into your body . ]
[You have resisted . ]
[You have resisted . ]
[You have resisted . ]
Indeed, it was nothing special . Then Sven's voice was heard from behind me . “Chwik . Nothing happened?”
“Yes, spider venom doesn't work on me . ”
“Ohh! Excellent . Most orcs were paralyzed and fell down just touching it . . . then try using your ankles this time!”
I entered the river while feeling the texture of blood . I could see what it meant by 'blood is thicker than water . ' Rather than thick, it was gross .
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is gulping . ]
Why was he showing me this information? I was nervous . The message was the same even when I walked into the blood up to my ankles . It was just the message of resistance . Sven was clearly excited as he let out exclamations of admiration .
“Ohh, you are blessed by Mudur! Ohhh!”
I shouted, “Hey! I'm choking on the smell of blood! Hurry and do that spell or something!”
“Chwiiik!”
Sven snorted heavily and started to mumble something . Then a chain of darkness stretched out from his hand and tied me up . I was forced to panic at the sudden attack . “W-What is this?”
“Chwiiik . I finally found the blood sacrifice . Kulalala~!”
Blood sacrifice?
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is frowning at the ominous feeling . ]
“Buroder!” Drain ran to Sven to save me but he wasn't enough . I saw Drain chained up like me and gritted my teeth .
Sven gave an ugly smile . “Stay still . I'll kill you slowly . Gruruk . Mudur's resurrection will be first . ”
“Shet, release me! I can't release this!”
I looked at Sven and asked, “Mudur's resurrection? What the h.e.l.l are you up to?”
“Know the honor . For Mudur's resurrection, only a body that is resistant to spider venom is suitable . Well, it is a human body but it is stronger than the warriors of my frost orc clan . Thus, it is perfect for Mudur's body . It is a body that can be reconstructed again . Kuhahaha!”
Sven laughed in a despicable manner and my face unknowingly twisted . He beckoned and the blood around him shook . The spiraling blood spread around me . I watched it swirl and felt fear swallowing me up .
[The resurrection of Mudur is beginning!]
[Your body will be sacrificed . ]
[If you don't escape in time, Mudur will use your body to resurrect and your character will be deleted . ]
[The time limit is 10 minutes . ]
“Dammit . . . ”
I looked at the turned hourgla.s.s and my heart sank . No, how could there be a situation like this?
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is panicking . ]
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' says he told you not to come here . ]
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is sweating at the unexpected development . ]
“d.a.m.n . I know . Hey, is there any way?”
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is telling you to try using Solar . ]
I quickly summoned Solar . I pointed to Sven and ordered Solar to attack . Then Solar shot forward at a fast speed . There was just one problem .
“Chwik . It is ridiculous . Death Blizzard!”
The blue blizzard fired from his hands flooded Solar . Solar had the fire attribute so it was weak to the opposing water and ice attributes . In addition, this was the North Pole . The environment itself was unfavorable for Solar .
“Ack! Too cold! It is hard to get close!”
s.h.i.+t, if only Solar's level was a bit higher . Solar was currently level 98 . If it had been over level 200 then it could easily melt this guy away . By that time, Solar's new abilities would've appeared . In any case, the problem was that it was impossible now .
“Master! I'm sorry! It's too cold!”
I gritted my teeth . It had only been a month since Sujeong was kidnapped by those Fire Dragons . No, this might be even more dangerous than that time .
Sven made another gesture and this time four pillars rose around me . It was also composed of blood and the time remaining was around seven minutes . “Gruruk . Be a gentle offering for Mudur . Welcome Mudur, who will soon be born as a b.l.o.o.d.y orc!”
“Kuoock, b.l.o.o.d.y orc?”
These words struck something in my memory . b.l.o.o.d.y orc .
One day, Alexus visited the coalition of orcs, Leica, and spoke to Mudur only once . It was before Atlan was built and it was the scene of the execution of an orc shaman . Alexus had asked Mudur why he was executing the shaman and Mudur had said, 'He used a taboo spell that turned his people into b.l.o.o.d.y orcs . ' The words that followed were this:
'The b.l.o.o.d.y orcs not only yearn for the blood of their people but also the blood of other races . Nothing more or less . I believe that orcs can be strong without forbidden powers . '
Weren't they really crazy words? Yet at the same time, it was thrilling . Mudur had said these words due to his confidence . In fact, Alexus was shocked to hear the words and trained himself even more . He dreamed that he would one day become a king who wouldn't lose to Mudur .
"Kuuack! d.a.m.n you! Don't you know that Mudur hated the b.l.o.o.d.y orcs!”
“Chwiiik . Nonsense! Mudur will be resurrected as a b.l.o.o.d.y orc, overturning the world once more and unifying the orcs! Kulalala!”
This guy completely didn't make sense . Four pillars of blood narrowed the distance toward me . Eventually, I was swallowed up by them .
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is telling you to wake up!]
I could see the message even as my spirit faded away . s.h.i.+t, I would've come with the others if I knew this . . .
This wouldn't have happened if Kim Sujeong and Gyeonso Dragon were with me . Camille would've used Firefly Concerto on me and Raitra's Blue Lightning would've made me stronger . Yes, if only they were here .
“Kuock!”
The flesh of my entire body was torn, revealing the blood vessels . In the meantime, I felt new blood being transfused . Under the insane pressure of the blood, I seized my spirit that was drifting away .
[Your body has started to receive Mudur's blood transfusion . ]
[Spider venom has seeped into your body . ]
[You have resisted . ]
[If you don't escape in time, your character will be deleted and b.l.o.o.d.y Orc Mudur will be resurrected!]
[b.l.o.o.d.y Orc Mudur will turn the world into blood . ]
[The time remaining is 5 minutes . ]
[Progress of becoming a b.l.o.o.d.y orc: 20%]
Da . . . mmit . . .
I felt like I was intoxicated by the taste of blood . I could see Drain shouting at me but I couldn't hear anything .
[Your body is being reconstructed into a b.l.o.o.d.y orc . ]
s.h.i.+t, I would become a b.l.o.o.d.y orc . . .
Mido had said that she liked that we could play games together . . . I couldn't do it anymore . . .
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is shouting at you to wake up!]
Prometheus' words were the only things that I could catch as my mind was dimming . I was once again distracted before losing my mind due to the exploding blood pressure . Another message came in through my fading consciousness .
[Progress of becoming a b.l.o.o.d.y orc: 40%]
This was the end . Really . . . ? Was my adventure, my dream, going to end here?
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is looking at you . ]
I looked at the message that now seemed distant and smiled lightly . Still, I had some pretty fun adventures .
It was said that when a person died, their life pa.s.sed by like a kaleidoscope . The thing that came to my mind now was memories of Prometheus, who had always been friends with me .
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is upset . ]
[Progress of becoming a b.l.o.o.d.y orc: 45%]
Toward the person who was in agony, I felt compelled to leave some final words . Maybe I wouldn't be able to meet him anymore . If my character was deleted then we couldn't meet anymore .
'Thank you, Prometheus . '
I couldn't hear my words, only a murmuring sound . However, that was enough . Prometheus would've known what I was talking about . My communication with him wasn't just through the messages .
[Progress of becoming a b.l.o.o.d.y orc: 47%]
[Progress of becoming a b.l.o.o.d.y orc: 48%]
[Progress of becoming a b.l.o.o.d.y orc: 49%]
I closed my eyes as I saw the progress head toward halfway . Then as it reached 50% . . .
[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' has started 'Descent . ']
