At this time, Hikaru entered the Dungeon using the "Necropolis" key . Standing in the middle of the vast space, Hikaru thought that this place was at least 2,000 square kilometers wide. This place is still the same as in the beginning. All makeshift graves, dry ground, and dark clouds still cover the sky.
Hikaru looked into the distance and saw the remnants of the fight between him and the Gorilla King.
Although there was no vitality here , this place was suitable as a training ground. After that, Hikaru used the Copy Cat skill, creating a copy of Sherwin with his present abilities .
[Ding! To create a copy of Sherwin, you need to pay a 100,000 Soul Points. Do you agree or not?]
"Agreed!"
[Ding! Payment successful.]
Right after that, Sherwin appeared, standing motionless in front of Him. The clone created by Hikaru will obey his orders. However, it cannot last more than 24 hours and perform other tasks.
"Attack me with all your strength." Hikaru ordered.
Sherwin's clone didn't say a word. He just nodded and held a giant sword and a spear in his hand. Right after that, Sherwin immediately rushed to attack Hikaru.
Fierce fighting broke out. Although Hikaru didn't have as much skills as Sherwin, he has excellent close combat prowess and the Thunder Spear skill.
After more than an hour, Hikaru was unable to defeat Sherwin. His body was covered with wounds, he even had his left arm cut off, and there was a hole in his stomach from being pierced by Sherwin's spear.
Fortunately, the Hell Lotus can help him recover after a few days of hibernation. Otherwise, with a wound like this, he wouldn't be able to continue fighting or performing any other things.
Hikaru assumed that Sherwin would be powerful, but Sherwin was way stronger than he could have imagined. Hikaru could only use the word "invincible" to describe Sherwin right now.
Not only did Sherwin have two UR Talents, but he also has a monster called the Skeleton Dragon. Although it is a Skeleton, when it was still alive, it was a Dragon. Although, after becoming a Skeleton, its strength has decreased significantly , it is still not a weak monster.
Hikaru's chance of winning was almost zero when faced with both the Legend Hero and the Skeleton Dragon. Thanks to his high stats and the Angel Ring's ability, He could fight Sherwin for a while . Otherwise.he would have died as the battle began.
However, the good news for Hikaru was that Sherwin was currently lost in the fog when he looked at the information displayed by the [Follow] skill. Therefore, He still had time to find a way to deal with Sherwin.
"Sherwin has two UR Talents, a Skeleton Dragon, and many other support skills. Now, the only way to to have a chance against Sherwin is to evolve the disable skill."
Hikaru lamented. He also didn't think that after evolving the [Disable] skill, he could defeat Sherwin. Hikaru felt like a tiny villain in a series called Sherwin. How could he defeat Sherwin?
"If I can't defeat him, I will run away." Hikaru made up his mind.
Hikaru was not the main character, so he didn't have to fight to the death like a hero. If Hikaru couldn't fight back, then he would run. He just needed to survive. Hikaru thought that there was still a chance to do something if he was still alive than if he died.
Hikaru immediately teleported back to his room. He used magic to clean his body and observed outside. The current territory is much more vibrant than before, thanks to the addition of the Farmer House.
Around the territory, the Farmers built a stone wall. The stone wall was built of white stones more than three meters high, and on the walls were carved strange symbols.
Based on the memories he received, Hikaru recognized that they were magic symbols. Each symbol alone did not have power . However, if it is engraved according to a specific rule, it will exert enormous power.
Hikaru knew that the one who carved the magic symbols was Darnag. Although Darnag is only a Builder, he is an SR Builder, and it is not unusual to be able to use magic symbols in construction.
"Looking forward to the development of the Farmers. Even though they don't have any fighting power, the occupations they possess have a huge effect."
Hikaru looked outside. The unemployed Farmers were gathering resources under Shala and Mika's direction. These Farmers did not try to go more than 10 meters outside the territory . Otherwise, they will get lost and will not be able to find their way back.
Currently, Mika is gathering materials to make costumes. Shala cannot leave the territory to trade, so she can only assist other Farmers in finding resources around the territory.
Saraya is guarding and guiding the Farmers in search of ingredients. If monsters appear, she will destroy them or help the Farmers escape.
Vuni organizes the general management of the territory.
Even without Hikaru's control, the territory flourished. Hikaru did not feel that he was useless. On the contrary, he thought that he was very capable now.
Manage the territory, display power?
Hikaru doesn't have the will and he can't keep his territory as organized as it currently was. What He liked the most was being a free lord without responsibilities like currently . Even if he didn't need to control or manage the territory, it would still grow.
Even though he didn't manage the territory, what bothered Hikaru the most was how to defeat Sherwin. Nor could he sit idly by and wait for Sherwin to come and kill him.
[Master!]
"Rika? Do you have a way to help me defeat Sherwin?"
[Not now. However, I found out that there is a card you should take a look at among the cards that Hana handed over today.] freewe(b)novel
Hikaru suddenly remembered Hana. If it weren't for Rika notifying him , He would have almost forgotten this "Card laying chicken".
Hikaru asked: "How is Hana now?"
[She is still fine. However, this situation will not last long. Hana is defenseless when fighting with other players or monsters. After losing the protection of the System, Hana will surely die.]
"Tomorrow is our last day under the protection of the System. If Hana loses her territory, will she die?"
[No! However, after losing the territory, if Hana is still alive, she will become a free player, not tied to the domain. But later on, she can't level up unless…]
"Unless…?"
[Unless there are two scenarios. One, Hana can defeat another player and take their territory. Two, she voluntarily becomes the slave of another player.]
"Occupying another territory?"
[yes. If you kill another player, that player's territory will be yours. Besides, everything in the territory belongs to you.]
Hikaru also guessed that this would happen because he didn't think the System brought over a billion players to this world for no reason.
What about questions like why does the System exist? Why did the System bring him and the others to this place? Hikaru didn't care.
The only thing he cared about right now was how he could survive in this goddamn world and defeat Sherwin.
However, it was important that he has Hana. Hana is like a card factory for him. And her limit is to produce 10 cards per day.
Although the number is not much, she has provided Hikaru with cards with incredible abilities, which is undeniable. Hikaru thought of the second option: which is to enslave Hana.
Hikaru asked Rika: "Is there a way to bring her to this place?"
[As long as Hana becomes your slave, you can use the Teleport skill to teleport her to this place.]
Hikaru nodded. However, he was in no hurry to contact Hana either. Currently, Hana has not seen the cruelty of this world because Hikaru still provides food and water for Her. She doesn't need to risk her life searching for resources and food.
If Hikaru wanted to enslave Hana now, she would definitely object. If she agrees, her loyalty will be questionable.
Hikaru was thinking of the worst-case scenario. If Hana can break the bond between master and servant, then she will become a ticking bomb in His domain.
Hikaru only put Hana on the list of the [Follow] skill, waiting for Hana to be in danger, then He would save her.
After that, Hikaru looked at the information of the card that Rika kept for him.
…
Name: Meeting Chance
Type: Disposable
Description: After using this card, you will have a chance to meet the leader of a race. fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com
…
"A chance to meet the leader of a race?"
[Master, this card provides an opportunity to cooperate or enslave another race.]
"Speak clearly."
[Same as the description of the card. After using these card, you will meet the leader of another race. After that, you can use your ability to negotiate and form a cooperation with them or use your power to enslave them.]
Hikaru listened to Rika's explanation and understood the purpose of this card. This card provides Him with a chance to meet another race, and what he does with that depends on His ability. If he isn't strong enough, he would be destroyed by the leader of the race summoned.
Whether it's an opportunity or a threat depends on Hikaru's ability.
"Rika, do you think I should use this card now?"
[You should use it.]
Hikaru chose to use the card. It instantly shattered into countless pieces and disappeared.
…
Not far from Hikaru's territory, a group of 5 people were on the run. Looking closely, you can see their skin is gray or black. They were all women, their bodies were extremely attractive, and their faces were so pretty that they made other women jealous.
What made them special were their long ears and glowing blue eyes. That's right. They were Dark Elfs.
