Konoha's task master

That night, Yakumo said goodbye to Masako Mori. Although Masako Mori was extremely reluctant, he was still persuaded by him and went to the secret base in Ryūchi Cave alone on the grounds that he wanted to practice in seclusion.

Tonight, he belongs to the game system, and the soul of a super player wakes up in his body, quietly waiting for the passage of time.

Anniversary event...will be refreshed soon.

【Anniversary celebration event refreshed.】

[The biggest discount every year, if you miss it, you have to wait another year.]

Yakumo immediately clicked on the anniversary store with ease, and his eyes instantly scanned all the catalogs.

But he just...didn't see the player-specific props.

Close the anniversary store and reopen it again.

Yakumo once again searched for exclusive props from top to bottom. After many attempts, he finally bought two Daohua scrolls with some disappointment, and then closed the anniversary store.

Many years ago, the Anniversary Store refreshed the Glory Sword Box. In the next two years, the Anniversary Store also did not refresh any props, just like now...

Yakumo harvested the Key of Hell and Death. This item is very precious, so as a price, the anniversary store could not refresh player-specific items in the second year.

The storage scroll was opened, and Yakumo held the key. It was a black key. It was as if he could hear the participation of the wronged souls, and there were pure white light spots wandering in it.

The handle of the key is a complex twelve-pointed star. The tip of each corner is inlaid with gems of different colors, extending out into a straight black cylinder, with a square cross at the end.

In the center of the cross is a blood-colored gemstone.

The energy flowing in this gem is actually similar to when Yakumo used the Seal of Prayer. It is like the same source of energy, strange and unknown, corroding everything around it.

Yakumo stared at the blood-colored gem, as if staring into the abyss.

After a long time, he put away the key in his hand.

"What will be the result if I explore the world of Key Together tomorrow?"

[Tip: The player’s team will be destroyed.]

"To what extent can we return safely?" Yakumo continued to ask.

He originally just made a simple attempt, but he didn't expect that the game system was more useful than he thought and could actually predict the success rate.

[Tip: Condition 1: Clear the 12th floor of the arena. 】

[Tip: Condition 2: The Taoist degree of Wood Escape Secret Code exceeds 50%.]

The game system's recovery speed was very fast, but the answer surprised Yakumo. These two conditions... meant that he had no hope of exploring that world of hell and death for at least two years.

"I guess Masako Mori will be disappointed. She won't be able to explore for at least a few years."

Yakumo sighed softly, and when he was about to improve his sword skills, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

“What’s so special about the world of hell and death?”

【That is the beginning and the end of everything.】

【That is the end and the starting point of everything.】

【That is hell and also heaven.】

[The immortal achieves eternal life, and the immortal transforms into immortality.]

The answers from the game system made Yakumo feel a little chilled. Some of the other answers might be a bit strange and confusing...but Yakumo could still understand some of them.

That is, the world of Hell and Death is the last brand-new dungeon derived from the game dungeon, and the dungeons derived in the future are likely to be supplementary versions of the original worlds.

This also represents the end of Yakumo's adventure.

Ending is really not a beautiful word.

But the journey has an end.

He has actually experienced this feeling many times, every time he clears the game, every time he reaches the top of the server, and every time he closes the game.

It may be the same this time, reaching the end of the dungeon, but it is destined to be different. This time he is no longer alone, but has three quite reliable teammates who can share life and death with him.

"Thank you."

【You're welcome.】

At first, he couldn't understand why the game system had to arrange a team mode. After all, he was a god who fought in single combat, a legend who cleared the level with one blood, and a cheat-level player who had reached the top of countless games. He was destined to face thousands of armies alone.

Although he was able to share daily tasks, Yakumo still felt uncomfortable, but as the number of battles increased, he gradually understood the deeper meaning of the game system.

The game system understands the loneliness of fighting alone in his previous life, and it is only in this life that the team mode gradually heals his inner loneliness.

One man has a thousand troops, because no one can fight alongside Yakumo.

Yakumo called up the game interface and clicked on the personal panel.

[Hatake Secret Code: Daohua level, one form, 70%] [Breakthrough]

Yakumo clicked on Breakthrough, briefly browsed the required props and then clicked the confirm button for the second time. If his sword skills improved by one level, he had absolute confidence that he could solve the puppets on the tenth floor.

Then click the OK button.

The gold coin disappeared instantly.

Also disappearing at the same time is the Daohua Scroll.

With a bang, Yakumo fainted.

The soul body separated from the body and traveled in the universe. Perhaps because the soul became stronger, his perception of the surroundings became clearer, and everything was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Suddenly, a huge octopus burst into view, and the black text distorted in front of his eyes.

[Void Energy Infected Creature Eighth Energy Level Thousand-Eyed Octopus]

The octopus seemed to be aware of Yakumo's observation. Countless tentacles began to extend towards Yakumo's soul body, and a bloodshot eye opened in the center of each arm's suction cup.

The octopus roared, and its body suddenly rushed forward, crushing and absorbing meteorites along the way like a giant planet, and quickly moved in the direction of Yakumo. Each eyeball was spinning at high speed, carrying a strange madness that made people lose their sanity.

It turns out that this is the true face of those cosmic overlords, ugly and ferocious like demons devouring the world, with terrifying pollution and corrosion effects all over their bodies.

Yakumo had no fear in his heart, and subconsciously looked at the mark of prayer on the back of his right hand. At this time, the mark was releasing high temperatures, turning into a barrier to resist the pollution of the Thousand-Eyed Octopus.

The next second, the starry sky in the universe was directly torn apart.

The huge bloody planet descended, and chaotic murmurs sounded in the void.

"Pray, pray, pray, pray..."

The size of the bloody planet is close to a hundred times that of the Thousand-Eyed Octopus. It only stretches out two huge vines to control the octopus and continuously pulls it towards the bloody planet.

The Thousand-Eyed Octopus exhaled turbid gas in infinite terror, covering its entire body, and every arm and foot was tense and struggling.

The next second, the two vines exerted force, and the bloody planet directly swallowed the Thousand-Eyed Octopus, and the terrifying creature completely disappeared from the universe.

The huge vine returned to the interior of the bloody planet. It floated in the void and began to look different, and the whispers in the void became infinitely lighter.

Yakumo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the bloody planet.

Even though he knew that it was unobservable, he still wanted to see...what kind of existence was that bloody planet that was always guarding him in the void of the universe, and why was he so familiar with it.

Install the latest version.]

[The Devourer of Void Energy, the Breaker, the Endless Evolving Life.]

[Eternity, the Supreme, the Lord of the Secondary Void Realm.]

【pray.】

Yakumo looked at the row of increasingly exaggerated names and subconsciously withdrew his gaze. Although he didn't know what those words represented, he could understand most intuitively...

This bloody planet is very difficult to defeat, but it is super easy to defeat.

The soul is still floating in the universe, and all the void energy-contaminated creatures encountered along the way are swallowed by the blood-colored planet.

These are not just one or two...but all of them, and there is even an overlord who also bears the name of a lesser master.

In the end, he could not escape the fate of becoming food.

Along the way, Yakumo also felt the domineering power of the bloody planet. There was a sleeping turtle among them, but it just blocked Yakumo's way and was taken away and digested by the bloody planet.

However, it has the ability to move through space. Occasionally, it will run in front of Yakumo to actively clear obstacles, and then return to the rear, quietly floating behind Yakumo to protect him.

Yakumo didn't know how long he had been wandering. He only knew that a null energy pollution creature took one look at him today and was dragged away by the bloody planet to deal with it.

Space flows and time accelerates.

An extremely huge planet appeared at the end of Yakumo's sight. The whole planet was pure green, and it seemed to be alive, absorbing the energy of the universe and growing continuously.

There is something here that is his destination.

Black words appeared in front of Yakumo's eyes, twisting to form words.

[The Holy of Holies is the place where the ineffectiveness of the Royal Court of Hope ends.]

【The Living Planet Ellanwil.】

Yakumo looked back, and saw that the bloody planet was still in a different state, as if he was extremely wary of the huge green planet. The invincible bloody planet finally gave in.

Oh, Yakumo fell into that planet at the speed of light.

When he got close to the planet, he truly felt how huge the planet was, like an unrivaled ancient god.

Extremely rich natural energy flows in the space, and there are even blue rivers circulating around this huge planet.

The space suddenly distorted, transporting Yakumo to an unknown place.

The blood-colored planet in the virtual space noticed the disappearance of Yakumo's aura, and suddenly began to split and change. The huge blood-colored ancient tree split from the planet, and the blood-colored flowers on the top of the ancient tree bloomed faintly.

A crazy and chaotic murmur locked onto the green planet.

"Don't worry, he is safe."

Suddenly, a figure wearing black short-sleeved clothes walked out of the void. He did not show any fear in the face of the extremely huge planet and spoke softly to explain.

The bloody planet and the figure in black began to confront each other.

More than ten seconds passed, the crazy murmurings gradually disappeared, the bloody planet gradually turned into normal, and countless derived bloody plants returned to the mother body.

A great war, therefore, vanished into thin air.

Yakumo felt the distortion of space. When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in a small courtyard. The only special thing was an extremely huge tree in the center of the courtyard.

This tree is 10,000 meters tall, but it is very ordinary.

Yakumo did not feel any high-energy reaction in this tree, as if it was just an ordinary tree. The difference was that the height and diameter of this tree were a bit exaggerated.

In front of the tree, the white-haired girl sat cross-legged and meditated, holding a long knife.

Yakumo placed his gaze on the surface of the big tree, actively activating the effect of the Omniscient Eye, and the soul energy spread freely.

The black text is distorted and reconstructed before your eyes.

[Special White Zetsu turns into ordinary trees after death.]

[The soul of the Zerg Queen resides there and cannot be observed.]

When Yakumo saw the last line of words, he instinctively sensed something was wrong and quickly looked away, but he seemed to have resigned...

The white-haired girl who was sitting quietly in front of the tree suddenly stood up.

The long sword between his legs was unsheathed, and Yakumo immediately felt the bloody air rushing towards his face, filled with a strong aura of death, which made Yakumo shudder.

This level of evil aura and death aura must be a terrifying aura that can only be obtained after killing countless creatures. In front of her, Yakumo felt insignificant for a long time. If the main body was here, he might be able to resist a little.

[Name: Akai Mitsuki]

[Energy level: Level 8, Queen of Zerg]

[Sin value:-...]

"The system is broken, she is actually a good person despite her arrogance."

Yakumo cursed in his heart, but he saw a strong man named Akai Mitsuki slowly walking towards him with a weapon in hand. The bloody evil energy behind him condensed into an almost physical terrifying demon.

"Wait...you seem to be able to see me," Yakumo said in surprise.

"Those who trespass on forbidden areas will die!"

Akai Mizuki didn't answer Yakumo's question at all, and continued to approach slowly with her weapon in hand. Her pace was not extremely fast, but as she moved, more terrifying evil energy suddenly erupted.

This woman... is actually still increasing her momentum.

"System, what should I do?"

"System, will you ensure my safety?"

"System, don't pretend to be dead!

"

Yakumo's soul floated up to widen the distance between the two. Fortunately, the enemy seemed not to be in a hurry to attack, and kept moving towards Yakumo's position at a steady speed. The terrifying evil energy covered the surrounding space, making it inevitable for him to avoid.

[Tip: Frankly speaking, I am not her opponent. According to the universe's combat level, her strength is only second to the Dominator, and is at the absolute peak of the eighth level. 】

"what about me"

"What to do now!"

Yakumo distanced himself as much as possible and asked in his heart.

[Hint: The sixth energy level, middle section.]

"md, let's fight."

Yakumo leaned against the wall of the small courtyard and had no way to retreat. The space around him was filled with barriers that he could not pass through, so he could only resist.

On the wall... there is a black and white tabby cat paralyzed. It looks very cute even if it is fat.

"Conquer the devil."

Yakumo's soul power extended and condensed the shape of the demon in his hand, but the color was pure white.

Soul energy is actually a very spiritual power, and Yakumo already knows this very well. He needs to hypnotize himself before fighting.

"I want a weapon that is extremely sharp and can cut everything!"

The soul energy continues to spread and condense towards the right hand, and the pure white demon-subduing condensed becomes more dazzling and shining, and the formed light condenses and flows on the blade, like a vast galaxy.

This is the moment of death.

Yakumo could only use the strongest blow. He recalled the extremely small figure in his mind, a slight, simple slash.

Unremarkable yet extremely sharp.

Fortunately, Yakumo remembered the name of this slash.

That is an extremely arrogant name.

"One move, star-cutting!"

Akai Mizuki looked a little curious, and suddenly grasped the weapon in her hand. The originally slender blade changed rapidly, and finally formed a bloody sickle about three meters long, like the weapon of the god of death.

"Dead soul!"
