Chapter 975: Completing The Third Scenario
-----
Mercedes' threat was neutralized thanks to our combined efforts, and the entire distortion of the Scenario was quickly recovered. In front of my eyes, the quest complete window appeared, and with barely eleven seconds left before the system reset everything.
[You have completed the {Emergency Scenario Quest}: {Repair Request}
[Congratulations! You have managed to avert the issue and have kept in control the Rampant Consciousness within the Internal Synapsis of the Special Divine Dungeon: {Cloudia's Fragment: 1/4}. Securing the safety of the Time Memory Fragment and the integrity of the Dungeon and the System.]
[Completion Rewards]: [+3.200.000 Score Points] [System Administrator Privileges] [Automatic Scenario Rearrangement]
[Current Score]: [5.500.000]
[You will be able to access your [System Administrator Privileges] once your exploration of the Divine Dungeon is done.]
[The [Automatic Scenario Rearrangement] has been triggered!]
[Generating A new Scenario…]
[Success.]
[The Third Scenario has started and has been generated.]
Wait, just like that?!
Don't tell me…
Ding!
[You have triggered the Hidden Second Scenario, changing its structure from what it was originally going to be!]
[Scenario 3/4 has begun: {Defeat the two Divine Beasts guarding the Ancient Ruins and Escape with Mercedes!}
[You find yourself trapped inside the ruins with Mercedes, after having slain the traitors, the only thing left is defeating the mighty Divine Beasts guarding the ruins and escape with the weakened Ancient Elven woman.]
[Once the Scenario ends, your entire party will be fixed on "Full Exploration" mode, where the Scenario won't advance automatically, all due to the previous, already fixed problems.]
[Scenario Requirements]: [Slay the two Divine Beasts: 0/2] [Protect Mercedes]
[Time Limit]: [1 Hour]
"Alright, this works!" I nodded. "Brisingra, can you protect your mom?"
"L-Leave it to me, Lady Planta!" Brisingra nodded. "Mom, just stay by my side, my barriers will protect you."
"These barriers…" Her mother muttered. "They are similar to the Time Barriers I can make- Ah, the Divine Beasts, right, those things remain! L-Let me assist you, Planta!"
"No need, you just stay there. We'll quickly get rid of those things!" I said, quickly leaping into action.
I joined with the rest of my party, as we attacked the two Divine Beasts. Their health points have already been chipped over all this time, and despite having tried to get on our way before, were extremely weakened. However, because of having entered into a frenzy or berserk mode, their attack power and speed had increased greatly.
This caused that even now, our entire party was unable to catch them and deal the last amounts of damage against them, until now. I copied Brisingra's barrier magic using my own Spiritual Barriers, forming a bubble of it right before the giant Silver Lion were to bite Mark's arms.
FLASH!
"GRAAOOHH!"
The Lion ended hitting its head into the walls of the barrier, biting its own tongue in the process. It vomited blood and groaned in confusion, where I appeared right in front of it.
"GRAAH?!"
The lion quickly panicked, attempting to escape, it knew that it had low health and it had to run away from direct hits. The thing is, this bubble was extremely small, barely fitting the two of us.
"You're not going anywhere."
As the lion opened its jaws to release beams of Moonlight and Light, I swung my sword against it multiple times, stabbing and slashing its body. Each blow decreasing its health points rapidly, as I tanked the beams and explosion directed at me with ease, simply regenerating any damage taken while I was still on my three-headed Yggdragon form.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
As its health points were rapidly decreasing and almost hitting one percent, the lion screamed, about to shatter the barrier with a powerful shockwave of light.
"ROOOAAR!"
RUMBLE!
Crack, crack…!
"Enough is ENOUGH!"
With all my might, I pierced the lion's chest with my sword, its health points finally depleting to zero, as the beast died, groaning in pain before finally stopping its movements altogether.
"The other!"
I quickly directed my eyes towards the wolf, but my daughter had caught it with everyone's help. Mark had cornered it from the left, Rita from the right, Lily from below, Angelina from above, and my daughter rushed in towards their four-person formation.
While constantly evading all matter of attacks, the wolf didn't expect my daughter to teleport directly into his own shadow, her katan swinging rapidly at least a dozen times in a single second, space distorting itself as waves of void cut through its body.
"{Abyssal Void Blade Fourth Forn}: {Thousand-fold Void Blade}!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Without being able to escape in time, the wolf's entire body was divided into a thousand of pieces within just a split second, its body exploding into a bloody mess, and then disappearing into particles of light just as the lion had done.
Well, that ended quicker than I imagined.
Ding!
[You have completed the Scenario 3/4: {Defeat the two Divine Beasts guarding the Ancient Ruins and Escape with Mercedes!}
[Congratulations! The two Divine Beasts have been finally slain. You've completed the third scenario.]
["Full Exploration Mode" has been enabled for the Break Time and Fourth Scenario respectively.]
[Please explore the world around you and find the clues necessary to trigger the last and final Scenario.]
[We wish you good luck.]
[Scenario Requirements]: [Slay the two Divine Beasts: 2/2] [Protect Mercedes: Complete]
[Scenario Rewards]: [+1.000.000 Score Points.]
[Current Score]: [6.500.000]
[Advice: Go back to the city to report the higher ups about what has happened.]
"W-We're finally done… Ugh, this was way too long, and too much happened." I sighed. "But at least we got a lot of Score, so that's nice."
"How high can the Score go? At some point I would assume there's a fixed amount of rewards at the top, I doubt it'll need this much Score, right?" Wondered Elena.
"I think it might generate the rewards automatically based on the score." I said. "Or maybe it'll be like the Score Points become actual points we can use to purchase or exchange things? We'll see once we're done with this though. Well done, everyone. We deserve a small rest, shall we return?"
"Planta, I…" Mercedes walked to my side. "Thank you… And I am sorry for what happened to me."
"It's fine. We have a lot to talk about, so let's go back for now." I nodded.
