I, without any personality, become a hero!

"Klaus, did you hear the name that 'The Worst King'... no, Lord Midoriya called that woman...?"

"Hmm... The name I heard was 'Nyarlathotep,' a being who exists in a dimension completely beyond our comprehension."

"I don't know what to do next, what about you...?"

This was the first time Stephen had shown such helplessness. Even when facing the Thirteen Kings of Another World, this man had never been discouraged. However, after hearing the name "Nyarlathotep" for the first time, Stephen had lost his fighting spirit.

"Even ants will keep working on the day the world ends. How much greater can we be than ants? ... So for now, let's not overthink it and just continue our work as foolishly and diligently as ants."

"Yes... if we're being targeted by something like that, what's the difference between us and ants?"

After listening to Klaus's words, Mr. Stephen was slightly motivated, but he still looked somewhat dejected. After all, no one wants to be an ant whose life and death depend on other people's moods.

Death is not scary. Stephen had long been prepared to give his life for "Libra". What he feared was that everything he was risking his life to protect would be destroyed as if it were a joke, as if a playful child had casually destroyed the nest that the ants had worked so hard to build.

I'm very sorry to say that "Libra" and even the entire Helsaremz Loth are like ants. The outcome depends on the mood and interest of "Nyarlathotep", leaving people struggling between hope and despair.

Perhaps it was just a little joke played by Nyarlathotep, but it will determine people's life and death, and that is exactly the situation now.

Chapter 114 "Libra" teaches you how to play hide-and-seek

Dr. Germotz felt he had never been so unlucky in his life. He had heard the news of the appearance of the "Eye of God" and, after obtaining specific information, disguised himself as Michelle's fiancé, Toby Mack, and then went to "Helsaremz Roth" to get close to the current owner of the "Eye of God", Leonard Watch.

This perfect disguise, which no one can see through, doesn't matter even if the "God's Eye" can see through it. Leo, who possesses the God's Eye, is just an ordinary human with no fighting ability. At that time, we can just use his sister Michela Woch as a hostage to threaten and coerce him. Dr. Germotz made this judgment with absolute confidence.

He had discovered the "Eye of God" that he could use as prey, and had successfully disguised himself to appear before Leonardo Watch. Soon, the "Eye of God" would belong to him. All of this was part of a flawless plan.

These were clearly two wonderful things... so why did they turn out this way? Dr. Germotz couldn't understand... couldn't comprehend it...

If it were just stepping into a spider web trap, that would be one thing, since such a precious existence as the "Eye of God" should have a guardian. However, this time it's like stepping on a landmine, which will be crushed to pieces and die in an instant.

Everyone knows the name "Nyarlathotep". When Izuku Midoriya called out Nyarlathotep's real name, Dr. Grimmtz, who heard the words, knew something was wrong. He didn't doubt that someone dared to impersonate that evil god... because that was the most unlikely thing. A name is a word of power, possessing a power that ordinary people cannot understand.

The Blood World Families can be sealed using their true names. Even the "Vampire Queen," whose true name was discovered by Klaus, can only be transformed into the blonde-haired young girl Shinobu Oshino, whose power is sealed. It can be said that the true name is the only weakness of the Blood World Families.

However, for the high and mighty demons, true names are merely a medium through which mortals communicate with and invoke them. If anyone dares to impersonate the true name of these higher beings, sorry... you will certainly die a terrible death.

If it were some weak demon god, it wouldn't be so bad, but "Nyarlathotep" is an evil god with extremely high notoriety in various worlds. Impersonating her and using her real name... your fate will be worse than death.

You bumped into a big shot on your way out, and it seems you've accidentally offended him—that's probably what it feels like... Dr. Germotz was internally churning out all sorts of curses, but for now, he'd better just focus on figuring out how to survive.

After Nyarko explained the rules of the game to Leo and the others, this beautiful but evil girl didn't forget to be fair; she also explained the rules to Dr. Germotz, who had been captured and put into the game.

"If you can evade 'Libra's' pursuit for three hours, you'll win. I'll spare your life then; this beautiful girl is a woman of her word and has absolute credibility!"

"Anyway, try your best not to die so young!"

There was no hint of blessing in his words. Dr. Gelmotz knew that he had fallen into Nyarlathotep's game and his fate was certainly not optimistic, but he had to find a way to survive no matter what.

------------

"You really have a twisted sense of humor."

"What does it matter? You're watching it with great interest!"

In the game testing monitoring room, Nyarlathotep was watching the various screens with great interest. The screens showed the "Libra" team searching for Dr. Golmudz. Meanwhile, Izuku Midoriya was also watching the screen where Leo was. This usually honest and unassuming boy seemed to have unleashed a berserk mode.

"Where are the eyes?!"

Leo swept across the map, crushing all the monsters and destructible objects, big and small. He then saw the man standing in front of the treasure chest with bloodshot eyes and a terrifying aura.

"You little rascal with the messy hair... calm down...."

At this moment, Zapp could only follow up with his advice, although Leo completely ignored him and swept through the entire city of Locri. Even the newly spawned boss, Ice Dog, was kicked away by Leo, crashing through the gate and falling off the cliff. It seems that Nyarlathotep's power has altered and corrupted the game, and now "Libra" can use its own power in Dark Souls.

"Eye!!"

Completely ignoring any advice, Leo activated his "God's Eye" at full power to search for Dr. Germotz's whereabouts. Only two words were on his mind: "eye"!

If he could just kill that guy and gouge out his eyes, his sister would be saved!! The thought that his long-cherished wish was within reach caused Leo to lose all his sanity and go berserk.

"Ugh...really..."

Sighing helplessly, Zapp continued to keep in touch with his boss Klaus and the others. While he was following Leo on a sweeping campaign, the others were conducting investigations on various different maps.

Although Leo's current condition is worrying, he really cares about his sister, so the "Libra" members, who are all engrossed in the game, all lend a helping hand.

There is absolutely no fairness in "Nyarlathotep," Dr. Gelmotz now recognizes this fact with absolute clarity. What the hell is this "tag game"? Now a bunch of evil spirits are searching the whole map for him alone. It's just too damn ridiculous.

Forced into this game, all of Libra's abilities can be used normally, but Dr. Grimotts discovered that his proud "God's Eye" ability cannot be activated. This kind of demonic eye, which can manipulate the vision of others on a large scale and cause hallucinations, is most suitable for disguising and concealing oneself, but now his account has been banned by the GM.

"To ensure fairness in the game, cheating is not allowed."

Nyarlathotep's exact words nearly made Dr. Grimmtz die of anger on the spot: "Everyone else can use their abilities, but I'm not allowed to? Could this be any more blatant favoritism?!"

However, the fact that this powerful figure wanted to kill him was a matter of both happiness and unhappiness, so all he could do now was try his best to please "Nyarlathotep". Only by making this great man happy could he have any chance of survival.

Dr. Germotz had no choice but to accept his fate and play the role of the clown. However, Nyaruko seemed to think that the game was too simple and not fun, so she gave Dr. Germotz ten more "tender white branches" for disguise. Whether he lived or died was up to him.

And so, the game of tag begins. The members of "Libra" play the roles of ghosts, and among them is the most ferocious and terrifying demon (Leo). Falling into his hands will definitely result in a terrible death. Now, everyone is watching how the prey (Dr. Germotz) will escape and survive for three hours in this demon hunt.

----------

"Mr. Zapp, where do you think that guy might be hiding?"

"Um... Leo, I think... maybe you should calm down a bit...."

"What are you talking about? I'm perfectly calm right now."

"......"

Zapp, speechless, watched as Leo discarded his large shield and donned the "Hand of Darkness." The invading system NPC, the Dark Spirit, was instantly killed by soul drain, and the blood wings on Leo's back unfolded into sharp blades, slicing through monsters and destructible objects in its path. The grueling game of Dark Souls had turned into a hack-and-slash game, and the terrifying aura, comparable to the appearance of a final boss, was truly chilling.

Now Zapp just hopes to find that guy called "Dr. Germotz" as soon as possible, otherwise Leo might really start to go crazy and go berserk.

At this moment, Dr. Germotz said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Although he had never played this game before, the environment he was in was very complicated and difficult to distinguish, making it suitable for hiding. In addition, the "tender white branch" could be used for camouflage, so Dr. Germotz simply hid on the spot. By the way... he was currently in the Fran cesspool.

The Poisonous Swamp of Farron Keep is arguably one of the most disgusting maps in the game, both for novice players who are completely unfamiliar with it and for Dark Souls players who are constantly invading and looking for PvP opponents.

If someone deliberately disguises themselves in the legal cesspool, it's extremely difficult to find them. You have to figure out what they've disguised themselves as and where they're hiding... However, the Fran cesspool is such a large map with so many obstacles that finding someone disguised and hiding is incredibly difficult, and practically no one ever intrudes into this place.

Dr. Grimaltz was also quite lucky. As someone who was forcibly dragged into Dark Souls to play a battle royale game, he happened to be in the Farron cesspool. In addition, Nyarlathotep gave him some "tender white branches," so if he disguised himself and hid, he would be very difficult to find.

Because the Dark Souls battle royale game covers the entire game map, even if everyone in "Libra" is in the game, it would be too difficult to search every inch of the game map within three hours, since manpower is limited in a short period of time.

As a seasoned veteran, Dr. Germotz's judgment of the current situation is quite accurate. Without knowing the specifics of the game, finding a suitable location on the original map to hide is the best option. Running around and encountering "Libra" people would be disadvantageous, so staying put and hiding is the most suitable thing to do now.

Using his disguise, Dr. Germotz transformed into a broken wooden stake and hid on a high slope in the poisonous swamp, alongside several other stakes. He felt confident that no one would recognize him, and indeed, that was about the case... If it weren't for Yi Yi's sabotage and investigation, it would have been impossible to uncover his true identity. Perhaps Dr. Germotz could have survived until the very end of the time limit.

But... the ghost is "Libra," and the people of this secret society cannot be judged by common sense. So... the members of "Libra" take action.

The "Libra" members, who were searching the map separately, arrived at Farron Fortress. The blonde mother was stunned when she saw the toxic swamp of Farron's cesspool. It was her first time in this game, so the disgusting environment of Farron's cesspool made KK feel a little uncomfortable. After thinking for three seconds, KK pulled out a Gatling gun.

With the technical assistance of Shinobu Oshino, a top-tier space sorcerer, Libra's magical techniques have been greatly upgraded. KK's mother's battle cloak has been transformed into a large weapons and ammunition depot, allowing her to perfectly carry heavy weapons that are usually difficult to carry. This is truly a cause for celebration.

"FIRE!!"

After a shout, the six-barreled Gatling gun began to spin rapidly, and a terrifying barrage of fire swept across the entire Farron Fortress. The barrage of fire only stopped after three minutes. The monsters in the Farron Swamp had long since turned into soul fragments and died on the ground. At this point, KK's mother could only regretfully smoke a cigarette.

"Not here... What a pity."

KK stuffed the Gatling gun back into his cape and headed back to the campfire to go to the next map, where the search was now complete.

"Huff... huff..."

Dr. Germitz, panting heavily with fear, would have been riddled with bullets had he not been behind a high hill. Thankfully...

Seeing that the place around him had become a scene of devastation, Dr. Germotz felt a little relieved. Since the people of "Libra" had already searched the place, no one would come here to explore further, so staying here was obviously very safe.

However, just as Dr. Germotz was beginning to relax, another person arrived at Farron Keep.

"Was KK just here? That really suits her style."

The next person to arrive was Professor Stephen. Seeing the devastation that had ravaged the Farron Fortress Poison Swamp, he realized it was KK's doing. However, this observant man did not leave immediately.

"KK's use of heavy firepower to cover and sweep the area means that she did not set foot in the swamp. However, it is indeed difficult to ask a lady to set foot in such a place."

Stephen, muttering to himself, didn't hold back and stepped directly into the poisonous swamp of the Farron cesspool. However, since he could use his abilities this time, he activated the "Esmeralda-style Blood Freeze Path" under his feet, and a layer of ice condensed on the surface of the poisonous swamp, allowing him to walk on it.

After wandering around the Franz Basin for a while, Mr. Stephen still didn't find much. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and go to search other maps. This place was too big, so he had to give up.

"They...they've left...?"

Dr. Germitz was now barely daring to breathe. The pressure from Professor Stephen passing by had nearly made the man disguised as a broken log reveal his true form. Thankfully, the man hadn't thoroughly investigated the damage; he was incredibly lucky...

"But now, there should be absolutely no problem, we're completely safe!"

Two "Libra" members have already searched this place, so no one else will come here to collect things. His disguise is flawless, and Dr. Germotz can't help but feel smug.

Then... another person arrived... Klaus, the leader of "Libra," arrived, and Dr. Germotz was almost suffocated with fear.

"Stephen told me to come here and take a look. Indeed, it's not really suitable for him to waste time searching this place slowly."

Klaus nodded in confirmation. This leader of "Libra" was the one who had informed him to come here, and at this moment, there was only one purpose for bringing Klaus to this place.

"Breglid's Bloodshed Technique!"

Klaus, who had assumed a fighting stance and exuded a terrifying aura, slammed his right fist, wielding a cross gauntlet, onto the ice surface that Stephen had conjured.

"Type 111 Cross-Shaped Annihilation Rifle!!"

Like crosses in a mass grave, countless blood-red cross-shaped spears suddenly emerged from the ice, instantly covering and filling the Fran Poison Swamp.

Using manpower for a thorough search? Not a chance! "Libra" will give you on-site guidance on how to catch the guy playing hide-and-seek with you: just use a full-map bombardment.

At that moment, Dr. Germotz had countless "MMP"s he wanted to utter.

Chapter 115 Leo, the Treasure Chest Head, the Dark Moon Madman

The "Cross-shaped Annihilation Gun" covered the entire Poisonous Farron Swamp, causing trees to fall and mountains to collapse, turning the entire map into a horrific sight. Due to the influence of the power of a certain evil god, Dark Souls has now become a semi-realistic game, with terrain destruction loading into the game. Klaus's charged map-wide attack almost destroyed half of the entire Farron Swamp.

Dr. Germotz's heart nearly stopped. He stared at the blood-stained cross spear that had sprung up from the ground beside him, trapping him right in the middle of the gap. Had he been slightly off-center, he would be dead by now... incredibly lucky!

Klaus was exhausted from unleashing a massive attack that covered the entire map, but the necessary search work still needed to be carried out carefully.

"It doesn't seem to be here. Let's look elsewhere..."

Klaus left the map, realizing that after a fruitless search, there was no need for the leader of "Libra" to waste any more time there, and now Dr. Germotz dared not utter another word.

People have come to this map several times to confirm things, and they've even gone so far as to launch a map-wide attack... If it's not a matter of bad luck, then it's definitely "Nyarlathotep" playing tricks on him, Dr. Gelmotz thought with immense grief and indignation.

Are those guys from "Libra" all monsters without common sense?! They're all more terrifying than the last; if they actually find out who they are, I'm definitely dead...

Realizing the perilous situation he was in, Dr. Germotz remained rooted to the spot, too afraid to move... If he were caught by the "Libra" people, he would surely die. Besides, this place had already been bombed three times; surely no one could come back to conduct confirmation work again!?

As the saying goes, when you think of bad things, something even worse may be coming your way. After the devastation caused by the search and destruction by the three members of "Libra", more people came to Farron Fortress, and this time there were two of them.

"Wow! What a spectacular scene! The boss must have done it."

Upon entering this map, Zapp saw blood-red crosses standing all over the map, which was obviously his boss Klaus's ultimate move.

"The poisonous swamp has frozen into ice. Mr. Stephen has been here before, hasn't he?"

Leo crouched down to observe, and under these circumstances, he regained some of his sanity to analyze the current situation. However, the treasure chest head hanging on his head still made Leo look terrifying.

"There are dense bullet holes on the fallen trees and the monster's corpse, so it looks like Sister KK was here too."

After taking a quick look at the surroundings, Zapp quickly figured out what was going on. It seemed that three people had already checked the map before the two of them arrived.

Zapp, who casually pulled a lighter from his pocket and lit a cigarette, said to Leo in a comforting tone:

"The boss and his men have already searched this place. It seems the guy you're looking for isn't here. Let's check other areas."

"Hmm...I know..."

Surprisingly, Leo was surprisingly docile. He completely obeyed Zapp's words. You see, Leo had been in a near-berserk state from the beginning, so his current calmness was rather strange.

However, this was good news for Dr. Germotz. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the two people who had run onto this map were not going to be searched and were planning to leave immediately. If someone came to launch another map-wide bombardment search, he really wouldn't be able to hide anymore. Fortunately, he had survived the first three waves of "Libra's" terrible search offensives and was now safe.

Dr. Germotz, who planned to stay here until the end, was about to turn around and leave the campfire with Leo and Zapp when Leo stopped and turned back to face the Farron Poison Swamp.

“Mr. Zapp, please wait for me for three minutes.”

"No way... you're planning to completely wipe this place out too?"

"Well... although Mr. Klaus and his team have already searched, I used the process of elimination."

Listening to the conversation between the two men, Dr. Germotz suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. He felt like a fish on a chopping board, completely at their mercy. This was bad... extremely bad!

Leo raised his right hand towards the poisonous swamp of Fran. Why did he calm down from his almost berserk state? It was because there was no need for anxiety or worry anymore; the outcome was already decided.

So far, Leo and Zapp have only searched one map, Locris, the capital city... This area, which was arguably the most complex map in Dark Souls, no longer exists.

Finding someone through hide-and-seek? Not a chance! As a member of "Libra," Leo naturally possesses special search skills, but he takes it a step further by simply erasing the map from the game altogether.
