A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 237: Subjugation of Cultists (6)

Using Flora\'s magic, a suspiciously wealthy prisoner waving a bundle of money was turned into a bald mountain.

We moved forward, turning the attacking nightmare monsters into ordinary pieces of meat, and finally reached a hollow that appeared to be the cult\'s stronghold.

The artificially created hemispherical cavity was lined with ominous burning torches, creating a gloomy atmosphere.

"Why are people plotting something always in gloomy and gloomy places?"

"That\'s the way they feel, so they do something suspicious."

"Yes? After all, people should have bright hobbies in their lives."

We looked around and talked.

Even as we talked, we did not stop being cautious of the surrounding area. Conversation was just a way to avoid being overly nervous.

"By the way, what is your hobby?"

"Uh... "

Asil\'s mouth was blocked by Flora\'s question.

Degu rrr, I could clearly see her Asil\'s eyes moving here and there.

I don\'t know what Asil did before she came to this world, but considering her actions so far, it was clear that she was quite an asshole.

It seems like she wasn\'t very healthy, so it would have been hard to say that she had \'bright hobbies\'.

"... "No comment."

Asil, who had been rolling his eyes for a while, finally said that and kept his gaze straight ahead.

He seemed like he wouldn\'t answer no matter what I said.

"Soira, did I ask something wrong?"

"No. "This is self-employment."

After that, I just walked in silence and went to the middle of the common.

I was surprised and worried that there were no monsters in the passageway that were so crowded.

A different map suddenly appears in the game, but no monsters appear?

Just by looking at it, it\'s a boss battle.

Moreover, although it was swarming with monsters, the progress itself was a smooth process of just fighting, fighting, fighting.

Ah. When she entered the basement, she skipped a puzzle that she should have solved, but let\'s skip that for a moment.

Considering that this world is a game, it seemed highly likely that something would continue after this or that something big would happen this time.

"This offering is full of life."

– Woe!

As we continued to walk forward, a torch suddenly lit up in front of us, and a group of people appeared.

Wearing dark-colored robes and plain white masks, they were an extremely suspicious group to anyone who saw them.

You can bet that those guys are cultists with the throwable rock they picked up yesterday.

They didn\'t say anything and just looked down at us from the high platform that had to climb dozens of stairs.

Among them, only one person standing in a particularly high place was speaking as a representative.

"Foolish people who do not even know the true power of God. However, even you stupid idiots can offer their lives to our gods, so it will be useful to the last one."

As soon as the leader finished speaking, all the masked cult members shook their bodies and recited something like a prayer.

"I\'ll give you one last chance. Even though you are ignorant and blind, it is the final mercy for you who have reached this point by breaking through even a small fragment of His power. If you throw down your weapons and kneel down even now, I will personally bless you and give you the opportunity to receive the true God."

As the CEO started talking nonsense, we looked at each other for a moment.

The answer came from Flora.

"This... "

"This?"

"『Ignition Spear』!"

With the magic starter word, a spear of blue burning flame instantly split the air and shot towards the representative.

Although it was not the explosive type of magic that Flora usually used, it was much superior magic in terms of speed and single-point penetration.

A ray of light was drawn into the field of vision at a speed where only the trajectory could be barely discerned from the fluttering sparks.

"Gaaaaa!!"

As soon as the cult leader saw something flashing in Flora\'s hand, he twisted his body, but before he could dodge it, it pierced his shoulder.

The high temperature of the blue flame burned the pierced shoulder in an instant. The pierced hole was completely black, and not a single drop of blood leaked out.

As the leader groaned in pain, clutching his punctured shoulder, other cult members began to stir.

Even at that moment, Asil was running up the stairs with the help of Sylph.

As soon as Flora\'s magic was revealed, she jumped in for a surprise attack.

I stayed by Flora\'s side to protect her.

Asil charges, I protect Flora, and Flora sweeps away with area magic according to Asil\'s attributes.

It was our standard formation that was solidified during several actual battles.

"Off, off..." Comrades, show them the power of God!"

However, the stairs were higher than expected, and the CEO regained his senses faster than expected.

Even before Asil arrived, the cult members began reciting prayers following the leader\'s instructions.

"Asil, stop it!"

"I\'m trying too!"

Whatever they are planning, there will be no better outcome than stopping them before they even begin.

Thinking like that, I tried to stop the cultists by throwing the easy-to-throw rocks that I picked up yesterday, but there were so many cultists gathered here that it wasn\'t even noticeable to just knock down one or two people.

Asil barely arrived at the top of the stairs and started knocking them down one by one, but it was already too late.

The next moment, all the cult members except the leader collapsed.

Among those who collapsed helplessly, as if the string controlling the puppet had suddenly snapped, there were those who fell down the stairs and suffered grotesquely broken limbs or cracked heads.

"... "What, what?"

When all the enemies suddenly fell, Asil muttered in despair.

I was equally embarrassed.

The enemy suddenly fell, but the problem was that the enemy fell on his own.

Unless he was a fool, he wouldn\'t have chosen to die out of nowhere, and it meant that he had something going for him.

Something that requires such a price that so many cultists lose their minds in an instant.

"Khahahahaha!!!"

As if my prediction were correct, the only representative who did not fall spread his arms and began to scream.

"Split what? Now only you are left!"

Asil shouted, but he shouted as if he couldn\'t hear Asil.

"Oh, oh! Come in... Welcome. Welcome! Great dreams! Eternal dreams! Endless make-up...!"

"Damn it!"

Asil, who sensed something strange, rushed forward and hit the CEO.

Even though the CEO was hit, he did not stop laughing and fell backwards.

Ppajik, ppujik, ppujijik!

With an unpleasant sound, the body of the fallen CEO began to twist.

"Asil!"

"I don\'t know! "I didn\'t do it!"

"Idiot, that\'s not it! Get away from there!"

"Huh? Ah, okay!"

Asil gave an expression of no understanding but did as I said and threw himself from the top of the stairs.

Immediately after that, a huge yet grotesquely bony arm swung around where Asil was and tore up the space.

Asil, who landed safely next to us with the help of Sarah, was heartbroken when she saw this.

"I almost died... "What is that?"

The answer came from Flora.

"Avatar."

"What?"

"It\'s an avatar... God incarnate!"

Flora screamed.

Avatar.

It means the direct descent of God based on great sacrifice.

Its power is proportional to the amount of sacrifice, and it is an extremely difficult enemy to deal with in that it can directly exercise the power of God regardless of strength.

Fortunately, in this case, the sacrifice was only the unconsciousness of the cultists gathered here.

Although the number of cultists was considerable, the sacrifice was far from sufficient to summon the power of God.

It\'s not even life, and at best it\'s not even close to unconsciousness.

Flora, who was seeing Avatar for the first time, took it seriously just because it was an avatar, but in my opinion, it wasn\'t to that extent.

If I were to compare the power of the avatar summoned now, yes.

It can be said that it is a level of power suitable for the boss of a B-level quest, which is just too close to reaching A-level.

However, the annoying thing about the avatar is that it wields the power of the god rather than the combat power of the avatar itself.

Drifter of endless dreams.

This Shinigami, who apparently possesses power over dreams, has lent his followers the ability to summon nightmare monsters into reality.

So, how far can he use his abilities?

Since I didn\'t want to check it myself, I quickly gave instructions to Flora.

"Flora! "The fastest one!"

And.

...

"... Huh?"

I was in a different space.

"What is it? Senior Soira. "Are you sleepy?"

A spacious room, desks lined up in a row, a holographic screen floating in front of you, and a bald man lecturing on the podium in front of you.

"Uh, huh? No, just... "

I gave a cursory answer to the man sitting next to me who was looking at me with a strange expression and then looked down at my body.

An off-shoulder shirt that exposes the shoulders and a skirt with a belt pulled up to the navel.

The feel of stockings wrapping around your thighs.

It was clearly\'modern clothing.\'

Only then did I understand where this place was.

This was a university lecture hall.

It is also a classroom where a lecture is in full swing.

Why?
