A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 236: Subjugating Cultists (5)

It may have been a result of feeling lethargic for some, but I didn't have any nightmares that night.

As soon as the sun rose the next morning, we set off for the altar under the guidance of the hunter.

As the hunter said, the altar we arrived at after walking for less than two hours had an ominous atmosphere at first glance.

Just looking at it made me want to either destroy the altar or run away.

"Is this the altar of the Dreamfiend or something? What did you say, an infinite dream?"

"You know, it's not Dreamfiend."

I stopped Flora from correcting Asil's words.

While this was happening, there was one thing I wanted to check.

"It's Dreamfury, not Dreamfiend." It is not an infinite dream, but an eternal dream."

"Oh, did you? But isn't that what it is?"

"That's right." He's an evil god anyway, so it's not that important."

"Hey, that..."

A hunter who had been quietly listening to our conversation intervened.

"Isn't this the drifter of an endless dream?"

"Oh, right, right. I think it was called that. "Man, you're really smart, aren't you?"

"No, I just remembered what the nun said at the temple where I first went to report the altar."

"Anyway, it was memorable. "That's smart!"

"Thank you for your kind words. So what should I do? Shall I wait for you here?"

At the hunter's question, Asil and Flora's eyes focused on me.

It means I have to decide.

"Mister, do you know where the cultist's hideout is?"

"No. "All I found was an altar."

"Okay. Then you better get back from here. "We'll find a hiding place on our own."

"Yes, I understand. Be careful."

The hunter went straight back without saying anything.

When the man was no longer visible, Flora asked.

"Soira, why did you stop me earlier?"

"Ugh, there's something that's holding me back a bit."

"Okay? So, has it been confirmed?"

"It works, but I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you later. Let's go."

I approached the altar.

"Soira, is there an altar there?" Didn't you say you were looking for a hiding place?"

"Huh. Hideout. Zeroth difference... "

I put my hand on the coffin-like decoration placed on the altar and pushed it with all my strength.

It seemed like it would move slightly, but it didn't move any further, perhaps because it was caught somewhere.

"You mean there's something there? Tatcha!"

"Zero... Tea!"

However, Asil and Flora increase their strength and even use physical strengthening.

Gigi Geek!!!

An unpleasant tearing sound was heard, and the position of the pipe became crooked.

Underneath, as expected, there were stairs leading to the basement.

"Wow. "What is this?"

"It's a secret passage."

"If it's a secret passage, doesn't that mean you have to press a hidden switch or something like that?"

"There's probably something like that here too. But what to do? "If you have enough power, secrets are meaningless."

"Well, I guess that's true, but I strangely don't want to admit it."

Asil and I chatted playfully, but Flora spoke worriedly.

"There was such a loud noise; didn't everyone notice that we were there?"

"I feel a bit sad about that too."

If possible, I also wanted to give him a big hit with a nice ambush before Aisatsu, but there was no other way.

It's much easier and safer to twist it open like this than to find a switch hidden somewhere on the altar.

"Anyway, this means we just have to wipe out this place, right?"

Asil said as she put the gauntlet she brought on her fist.

It wasn't the gauntlet I had when we first met, but a new one I got while attending the academy.

The gauntlets I had previously used were a clunky item that literally looked like only the hand and forearm protectors had been removed from full-body armor, so I purchased a completely new one with the help of a fighting arts professor at the academy.

The difference is performance and design.

Unlike before, which was closer to armor, this gauntlet looked painful when hit.

At the same time, the design has become more elegant.

"Kkkk..." It's time for my 'talk' and 'kindness' to be revealed to the world... "

Asil, who was in a good mood, was stroking his gauntlet and saying this.

For reference, the right hand is for 'conversation' and the left hand is for 'kindness.'

It wasn't information I really wanted to remember, but I was forced to remember it because they kept saying it as if it were a very funny joke.

By the way.

"Can you fight?" Is this a subjugation?"

You may be wondering what I'm saying now that I've already received the request, but it was necessary to point it out at least once.

I don't feel anything when I cut people.

This is natural because we know that this world is ultimately a game.

Since I have a filter on, the internal organs and cross-sections appear purified, which also helps, so I can cut down my opponents fairly, whether they are humans or monsters.

And Flora doesn't feel pressured to attack people.

Since they are residents of this world from the beginning, they take it for granted that they kill people who have a reason to kill them.

While he was with me, he personally burned and killed numerous bandits.

But what about Asil?

It is said that it was originally a game, but now this world has become reality for Asil.

Until now, none of the opponents Asil had fought and taken his life from were humans.

Enemies that were not humanoid at all, such as slimes, succubi, or fishmen, or even if they were not humanoid, were clearly monsters.

However, the opponent you will fight this time is a cultist.

Although they believe in the Four Gods of Death, worship them, and even engage in human sacrifice, they are clearly human beings.

Will Asil be able to kill humans?

I asked this out of concern, but Asil just answered calmly.

"Are you okay? I heard at the academy what these cultists do. "I can fight."

Asil said that and pounded her chest.

I don't know if it's trustworthy.

Still, it wasn't something that could be resolved by further doubting that he was okay, so he formed a formation and started suppressing the cult.

◆

My worries were half true.

Asil, as expected, had no hesitation in beating up a cultist, but he was not decisive when he finally took his life.

However, what it means to be half-right is that even if Asil acted like that, there were no major problems in Asil's battle.

This is because most of the opponents we are fighting now are not humans.

"Soira!"

He reflexively raises his shield to the side at Flora's shout.

– Ta-ang!

The thick tentacle that swung at my blind spot was blocked by the shield by a narrow margin.

Even though it was blocked accurately, it was so powerful that the body shook slightly. If the shield had been an ordinary shield, my arm would probably have been broken by the shield itself.

The tentacle blocked by the shield wiggled once in the air as if it were disappointed and then returned to its main body.

Big eyes floating in the air.

It looked as if it had been ripped out of an animal's eye and attacked the long optic nerve behind the eye like a tentacle.

On the side Asil was facing, a blue-skinned monster that seemed to be at least 3 meters tall was repeatedly swinging its fist and attacking.

Either way, they were monsters that could only appear in nightmares.

Nightmare.

And the Drifter of Endless Dreams, who has the power over dreams.

As I said last time, cultists can have special abilities depending on the god they believe in.

"No matter what, this crossed the line!"

Asil shouted as if he were being wronged, and his voice was drowned out by the monster's screams.

This time, I agreed with Asil.

These cultists have the ability to summon nightmare monsters into reality.

"『Fire Blast』!"

– Kwaang!

Flora's magic was activated, and a fireball like a cannonball flew at incredible speed and hit the floating eye.

It was a high-level magic that boasted a power comparable to low-level wind magic with just a shock wave.

When the rising dust cleared, the pupil was nowhere to be seen.

"I killed one more guy! But... "

Even though she killed one enemy with just one hit, Flora was not happy.

There were too many enemies to be happy just because I defeated one.

Fortunately, most of the monsters were large, and the passages were narrow, so there were no cases where several monsters attacked at once, but just looking at the number of monsters swarming beyond was enough to make people sick.

Each person's nightmares are different, so there are monsters that make you feel intimidated just by looking at them, while others make you wonder why such a thing is called a monster.

"This is definitely not the level of difficulty that would result in a B-level review request."

I muttered as I stabbed the approaching attacker, dressed in black leather and wielding a dildo.

No matter how much I thought about it, the level of difficulty was strange.

The fact that the Adventurer's Guild proposed it as a quest to upgrade to B grade means that, if you think about it normally, they thought it could be solved in C grade or that it was an easy quest among B- graders.

However, the situation we encountered now was at least at the upper level of B.

Because we spent a semester at the academy and worked hard, we can fight even while grumbling now. If it had been us before, even if we had beaten them well, the only thing we would have done was to retreat with our lives barely spared.

There is no way the Adventurer's Guild, which knows that we have a positive relationship with Luca, did anything.

Then, the remaining possibility is...

What was a doubt within me became certainty.
