T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 610, Section 609: Inertia

As the largest squid carried Kesha away from the venue, Jiang Heyi said, "We were indeed a bit too concerned and confused."

The Four Primals clicked their tongues and said, "The demons going all out to control the field is really outrageous in real life... but their performance in the game is actually diminished."

The jailer corrected: "It's not that the performance in the game is compromised, it's that they're afraid the evil spirits will kill all the players. If they throw the real-life performances back in exactly as they were, would anyone still want to play?"

Orange Tea flinched slightly: "That origin element..."

"Uh……"

The Tea Master's words silenced everyone.

Above the ninth rank lies the power of the world's origin.

In games, mechanics are used to give players ways to break through obstacles, but what about in reality?

Cuttlefish was carrying Kesha and felt a bit of a sharp pain in his hand.

"It seems like a lot of her scales have fallen off. As far as I can remember, this is the worst defeat Kesha has ever suffered. She's never been this badly beaten in the game."

French Fries checked the soundproofing array that only covered Ksha and confirmed it was still effective. He crossed his arms and complained, "Didn't you hear the demon say that she looks pitiful... Anyway, she deserves it."

I was trying not to laugh while lying in bed.

The jailer has already told everyone about the fries' "shocking statement".

It's normal to feel awkward even when you're prepared and meet someone.

Everyone should try to avoid this topic, because this time it's not about the difference between a game and reality, but about face-to-face, living people.

Orange Tea poked her chin with her index finger, blinking incessantly.

"Speaking of which...we've all been influenced by Kshasa to some extent, haven't we?"

He spread his hands and said frankly, "That's true. When I was pursuing Mo Yu, I was greatly inspired and agreed with him, so I just went for it."

Cuttlefish joked, "Does that mean we won't play A without K'Shutter?"

"Of course not. You're mine and you'll always be mine, it's just a matter of time." The blanket licked its lips. "But Kesha deserves a lot of credit for letting me eat your cooking sooner."

French Fries pursed his lips.

What made her act impulsively was Ksha's various direct approaches.

This unconventional guy has a natural charm that makes those around him honestly confront the deepest, most stirring emotions within them.

If she had to admit it, she was a little jealous of Katsuya back then, but she couldn't bring herself to say she was jealous of a two-dimensional character...

After moving away from the Great Snow Mountain area, Kesha's tail gradually began to react, with the tip of its tail gently hooking upwards.

Seeing this, the group stopped their journey and found a large rock to lean against.

Without the gluttonous incarnation to suppress the power of words, the only external force that can be borrowed at the boundary between reality and illusion is the demon.

The demons brutally beat up Ksha, and they intervened to rescue him, thus establishing a connection with the Fallen Star Sea.

Jiang Heyi thought the script was cleverly designed. In this way, he only needed to say that everyone on the boundary between reality and illusion had taken action and used a very precious "prop" to rescue Ke Xia, and he would not have to be bothered by Ke Xia.

This version should be better than the version where fries are made more conscious of their actions, right?

Not long after, Ksha's eyelids trembled slightly, despite his body being covered in wounds.

The prepared orange tea was the first to be placed, and she took out the healing potion that she had made with mint before leaving and applied it to the area where the scales had fallen off.

"hiss!"

The stinging pain brought Kesha back to her senses. She sat up abruptly, tearing at her muscles with a burst of strength, causing tears to stream down her face.

Those watching could imagine how painful it must have been.

The demon showed no mercy, giving him a good beating. He wasn't in mortal danger, but it hurt real pain.

Everyone would feel like they've walked through the gates of hell, their name flashing in the Book of Life and Death.

"you……"

Ksha looked around blankly and realized that he was not in Narum Manor. There were seven unfamiliar faces around him, and he was at a loss.

But when she saw Orange Tea applying the medicine to herself, she immediately remembered the last scene before she fell into a coma.

"Demons...demons!" Ksha exclaimed incredulously. "You...you defeated the demons?"

French fries, fully utilizing their acting skills, squeezed out a bitter smile.

The others quickly followed suit, their faces showing shame.

Without needing to say more, Ksha understood immediately.

"But you also took me away from the evil spirits, which is pretty impressive."

She endured the pain, sensing the magic of the others, and was shocked to realize that she had not yet met Anna's high-level magician standards.

Jiang Heyi said, "We don't have that kind of strength. We just used some treasures we obtained during our adventures to barely influence the demon's actions, which gave us the opportunity to rescue you."

Kesha's eyes widened suddenly.

A Tier 5 adventurer party must have had some extraordinary encounter to obtain treasures far exceeding their own level.

It's easy to imagine that the team, having learned of the treasure's value, would preserve it as a life-saving tool and would never use it unless absolutely necessary.

Thinking of this, Kesha looked at everyone with almost infatuated eyes.

As they ventured deeper into the manor, they inevitably witnessed horrific scenes of corpses strewn across the land.

With their level 5 abilities, they could sense the embers of magic and guess that the intensity of the battle was far beyond their reach.

Even so, seeing that she was about to die, he dared to shout in a strong voice, "Demon, stop!"

Not only that, but he also risked his life to save her, battling against evil spirits. His courage shines brightly.

The word "adventurer" shines because of them!

"My name is Ksha, Ksha from the Fallen Star Sea."

The boundary between reality and illusion introduces itself in this way. When it came to Jiang Heyi, Ke Xia's gaze froze and did not move.

Jiang Heyi became suspicious.

Unlike in the game, this time he didn't have the Gluttonous Avatar, nor did he have the highlight performance of suppressing the Siren's Word of Power. What's with that lewd look in Ksha's eyes...?

“For the demon to want to kill me would be a trivial matter, if it weren’t for you distracting me, I would probably be dead.” Kesha extended his hand to Jiang Heyi. “Thank you, Potato.”

"..."

"..."

Before falling into a coma, Kesha managed to memorize that powerful voice that challenged the demon.

Jiang Heyi never expected that, even after starting over and trying to make everyone at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds share the responsibility for this storyline, he would be targeted by Ke Xia again because of his loud voice.

Seeing that Jiang Heyi was hesitant about shaking hands, Kesha pulled its tail out from behind, raised it, and wrapped it around him, swaying it.

Kesha lost many of her scales, and her sirens-like bald patches made her look pitiful.

Not wanting the people of Anna to point fingers at her while she was injured, she asked for the squid's cloak—the largest one, shaped like a blanket, which could perfectly wrap up Ksha's body.

After quickly eating some dry rations to regain their strength, at Kesha's request, the group returned to Cyon City, where Narum Manor was located.

The manor was no longer accessible, and the deaths and injuries of nearly 100 people, along with the adventurers who came to investigate, shocked the northern border of the empire.

The roads around the manor were blocked off, and high-ranking mages came and went, carefully examining the peacefully deceased.

The investigation is ongoing, and rumors of "demonic retribution" have already spread throughout the city of Cyon.

After all, the people of Narum Manor had recently planned an indiscriminate hunt against the creatures within the Screamer Snow Mountain.

When the locals, who deeply revered the snow-capped mountains, heard the news, they secretly applauded and cheered, exclaiming that it deserved to die.

The prison guard joked, "Criminal suspects always return to the crime scene after committing the crime."

Upon hearing this, Ksha, who was inquiring about news in a local tavern in Cyon, couldn't help but shudder.

"If it were a demon, it wouldn't swagger back like that... According to local legend, it only punishes those evildoers who desecrate the Great Snow Mountain."

Unbeknownst to Kesha, the person who said this was the subtle way the group at the boundary between reality and illusion were suppressing their laughter.

Based on the news that no one survived at Narum Manor, Ksha was convinced that he was an absolute bastard who had been mistaken for one of Narum's men.

He tried to freeload off food, drinks, and books, and almost lost his life doing so.

Without the boundary between reality and illusion, she would never be able to eat dried fish again, nor return to the Fallen Star Sea...

Thinking about how he almost died in a daze last night, Kesha's heart pounded.

Even just recalling the real near-death experience made Kesha feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he became increasingly fearful.

"I really don't know how to thank you all..."

Kesha bowed repeatedly in thanks, but still felt that his sincerity was insufficient.

"Please make sure to visit Fallen Star Sea. We at Fallen Star Sea will compensate you for the treasures you lost."

Upon hearing this, everyone at the boundary between the virtual and the real felt a great sense of relief.

After going around in circles, all for the sake of successfully becoming a guest of honor at Falling Star Sea.

I feel terrible for Kesha, for making her get a beating, but the plan has been initially achieved... The future world is safe and sound, I'll apologize to her then.

Everyone was happy, but Jiang Heyi's feelings were complicated.

Kesha's gaze would always sneakily fall on him, but she would never meet his eyes, and she would leave as soon as she touched him.

This subtle action made him feel uneasy.

Something is wrong, nine out of ten times something is wrong.

French Fries leaned close to Jiang Heyi: "It seems that what you really wanted to avoid has still happened."

"I……"

"Alright, stop worrying about it. If it really happens, just let nature take its course." Fries squeezed Jiang Heyi's fingers. "We've already come this far with the Falling Star Sea; you can't just let the story break off, can you?"

Having survived the ordeal, Kesha did not linger on land. After handing over the shed demon scales she carried with her as a token to Jiang Heyi, she turned and left.

For some reason, she waved to the crowd again.

"Potato, and everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion, I will explain what happened to Her Majesty the Queen, so please come!"

Cuttlefish elbowed Jiang Heyi in the lower back: "Wow, Potato, you have to come~~~~"

His high-pitched voice and drawn-out tone gave Jiang Heyi goosebumps.

"The Overlord said that Anna's history has a strong inertia, and I think Kesha's experience also has inertia."

The jailer whistled and walked around Jiang Heyi, probably because he had a gong or drum in his hand and was about to start playing it.

"The problem of Falling Star Sea is temporarily resolved. At this stage, the only thing we need to worry about is Mint."

Jiang Heyi could tell that everyone was about to burst out laughing and rush to tease him, so he quickly changed the subject.

"You've all seen the actual power of the demons; the Origin Element will probably be quite exaggerated."

"Our lives are now half in Mint's hands... Time is running out, and we don't know if she can reach the expected heights."
