Chapter 477 - The Tortoise and The Hare (2)
Bang! Fu, fu, fu
“It’s definitely sturdy” Tarneck frowned as he looked at the black barrier He was expecting at least a few scratches, but the barrier showed no signs of dae The attacks of the Guardians who made up the Chase Team were to no avail, and they all shook their heads The ents of the Special Police Force or those who had travelled with Tarneck through various dimensions and spaces as frontline operatives The barrier in front of them was beyond what they could handle—in fact, the entire place was beyond their capacities
It was a world full of disorder and chaos, an outer dimension stained with the remnants of the otherworld God The Guardians protected the Tower’s system, but that also led them to rely and depend on the syste in this place This was also the reason why the Central Bureau had stopped pursuing Laplace once they learned that he had entered the De head-on with their ene a barrier like the one in front of the work
“Wh-hat should e do?” The Zodiac Pig Lupi cried with a terrified face He shi+fted and rolled his curled feet on the ground like a young child who had disappointed his mother Some of the female Guardians next to Lupi looked at hiered
Tarneck made an exasperated expression Lupi was the one who had forced Laplace into this place Although he and Lupi had spent over a thousand years together as top Guardians, Laplace had never gotten used to Lupi’s childish actions However, it was neither the time nor place to point out faults Tarneck cursed and muttered under his breath as he looked at the barrier over Laplace’s Illusory World “Even a worthless dog gains an advantage when it enters its ho headache”
Fro Laplace join the Central Bureau Laplace was a foreign being who had a cooal froued that Laplace probably had soenda However, at the time, the Central Bureau believed that they needed to research and understand the s of other worlds, and so, they had accepted Laplace into their ranks In the end, Laplace had almost destroyed the delicate balance that the Bureau had established with the heavenly world
They were lucky that Lupi had noticed so fishy early on Tarneck shuddered at the possible consequences that could have befallen the Central Bureau otherwise ‘Who wanted to accept Laplace then?’ Tarneck tried to remember the events of that time His brow furrowed ‘Was it Yvlke…?’
Wasn’t it also Yvlke who’d introduced Laplace to the Central Bureau? As Tarneck was about to think further, Lupi’s cries interrupted his train of thought “Tarneck”
Tarneck sighed lightly and turned, certain that Yeon-woo and his allies ured out that the Guardians had appeared in front of the barrier He had to catch Yeon-woo before he could slip away “Gilles de Rais Vlad Tepes”
“Sir”
“Sir”
At his call, two of the Chase Tea, scaly-faced Zodiac Sheep man with lizard-like vertical pupils while the other was a rim air
At one point in the past, these two individuals had vied over the Va throne with the Vampiric Lord, Erzsebet Bathory, but they eventually lost out in the power struggle and were forced to enter the Bureau in order to survive They had to suck on their thu the Vampiric Lord’s downfall since they had to maintain their objectivity as Guardians However, now that they were given this opportunity, they would take advantage of the situation to seek revenge While the tere preparing to carry out their orders, Tarneck warned, “Everyone else, get out of the way Don’t get hurt for no reason”
Tarneck released his suppressed powers Except for Lupi, everyone in the Chase Team used Blink to move away
[Your powers have been released]
[The De attempts to manifest itself in your body]
[Caution! The syste restrictions]
[Warning! Your actions violate the law of causality Atteh there were several warning es, Tarneck wasn’t concerned Klus had already stated that he would take responsibility for the law of causality, and so Tarneck had no qual his powers to the fullest
His body blurred and dissipated, and an i who had invaded various dih the De
Ku, ku, ku!
The De roared as his seven horns erupted like s sprouting out, and his goats’ hooves appearing
[De Maxwell has descended!]
The truth that Tarneck had hidden since he’d become a Guardian had now been revealed Maxwell raised his fist high and struck the barrier Bam!
[Sudden Quest / The Hare’s Liver Tale]
[Description: After endless battles, for of the unexplored lands, the ‘Deained reason, he was curious about the world He wanted to know the reason for his existence, why the world was formed, what constituted the foundations of the world, and s However, the world was full of idiots, and he could not obtain the answers that he sought
One day, LaplaceTurtle and learned that there was another world outside the one he knew He decided to leave his hometown for the first time and venture into this neorld, and he arrived at the Toith the Snapping Turtle
Through his child-like eyes, Laplace found the neorld infinitely beautiful and a place with s to see It was also the best place for him to express his playful nature as a Zodiac Rabbit and run around to his heart’s content He ran away froave himself the name ‘Laplace’ and later became a Guardian, which was a very useful position
So curiosity and mischief exceeded lis, he was stripped of his position as a Guardian and becaure by the Central Bureau
Laplace barely escaped the Central Bureau and returned to his hometown, but for a curious rabbit who had already seen and tasted the sweetness of the world, ho So, he came up with a trick to return to the wider world
At the request of this curious rabbit, you are tasked to run an errand to find the Snapping Turtle, froo, and deliver a book Once you coiven to you will be validated and usable Currently, the Snapping Turtle is located at the Three God Mountains]
[Time Limit: - ]
[Conditions: - ]
[Rewards:
1 Qualification to visit the Three God Mountains
2 The right to use the Tutorial ticket]
Yeon-woo carefully looked at the questthat appeared in front of his eyes ‘It doesn’t seem like a trap’ However, he still had some reservations, particularly when it came to two details The first was: ‘There are no conditions’ This meant that anyone could run the errand to the Three God Mountains In other words, as long as the book was handed to the Snapping Turtle, the ticket would become validated and usable However, it also meant that someone could steal the ticket and the book from him, finish the sudden quest, and use the ticket
In the eyes of most rankers, the Tutorial did not hold much value, but in the eyes of clans, it was a place like no other Clans were always thirsty to recruit new players, and if they could take control of the Tutorial, they could monopolize the new talent For this reason, the Central Bureau strictly ed the Tutorial tickets to ensure fairness in the coot out that Yeon-woo possessed a Tutorial ticket, a large number of people would salivate and chase him to the end of the world
It wouldn’t evenor had caused so roups would lie in wait to attack him Furthermore, the Central Bureau would never leave hi to remove the restrictions on the ticket, Yeon-woo understood that it would be best to quickly complete the quest This way, he would also be able to escape the clutches of the Chase Team The sudden quest’s lack of conditions hid a sinister objective: the completion of the sudden quest no matter what
The second detail that stuck out was: ‘The Three God Mountains’ Yeon-woo actually knew about this place ‘It’s also an unexplored land like the Cave of Yaanek’ Just as the cave was an otherworld God’s body, the Three God Mountains also had another identity
Could the rules be bent to rise up the Tower faster?
