Omni-Mastery - Chapter 508: Celebrating A Once Impossible Success! Another Bug?

[ Mental Fluctuations have greatly surpassed the normal limit! ]

[ Deploying ‘Mentality Stabilizers’… ]

`~~~`~~~`~~~`

[ You have leveled up! ]

[ You have reached level 132! ]

Once I finally came to, all that was left around me were unrecognizable patties of bloody meat, with little thought, it was easy to guess what they once were.

‘Did I seriously go berserk?’

Thankfully, I was now as clear-headed as usual, maybe even more than usual, but it felt like I had completely blanked out for an unknown period of time.

Of course, it wasn’t a complete blank. I saw everything that happened and felt every bit of emotion as it exploded.

However, even if I did deserve to vent, none of that kind of behavior represented my mind or personality.

‘It was like I gave myself up to my inner demons…’

Considering what I had gone through very recently, I couldn’t help but wonder if I had actually been Corrupted, even if partly.

The system had always announced that it purified Corruption from everything I absorbed and stopped it from latching onto me, but was that really true?

Long had said that my will was so strong that I resisted the Corruption Space enough for the system to interfere. However, if my will was truly strong, how could it crumble so easily just earlier?

‘Long?’

I tried calling Long out, but there was no response. Anxiety developed in my head as I started to doubt everything, but…

‘Let’s calm down.’

In the end, I chose to cling to the one thing that I almost lost earlier. Losing my calm over the situation could only make it worse. Besides…

‘At the very least, this shitfest is finally over.’

I felt like I deserved to feel some happiness over solving the main problem of this inferno-difficulty Domain.

It almost took everything out of me including my mental health, but it was finally done! The Demon Army had been vanquished!

“True Dragon Azure!”

Once the bubble that I was keeping myself in burst open, my range of senses returned to normal as I took in the view of the whole battlefield.

“True Dragon Azure!”

“The Champion of all Dragons!”

“The Dragon Clan’s Savior!”

In spite of their weary and broken bodies, the Dragon Clan’s Soldiers emptied their lungs as they cried in celebration. Surprisingly, they were using my ‘name’ as the center of all that.

Regardless of how everything worked out, the Green Mountains that should have fallen today were now still holding strong. The parasites that almost took over the whole Domain without a fight still lost in the end.

With light steps, I marched towards the boisterous army. It was good that this was the end of it because I was now truly tired.

Or was it that I only realized how tired I was after all the pressing matters were dealt with?

‘I’m not sure.’

[ Congratulations! You have managed to destroy the coalition of erupted demon bases of the Fire Domain! ]

[ Calculating your contribution to the base’s destruction… ]

[ You have received 6 Stat Points! ]

Stealing a glance at the most mutilated corpse among the Demon Army’s remains, shards of a glass-like object came into my line of site. It seemed that this Leader was also quite creative when it came to creating his army.

With only one single resistant force remaining, they had no reason to split into mini-armies, so the ‘Core’ that brought them together was the result of a fusion between all smaller Cores… Or so was my guess.

‘My split-personality lizard is still MIA, so there is no helping it.’

“Huraaaaay!”

As soon as I entered the circle line that the Lizardmen had joined into, I was immediately thrown into the air. It seemed like my gruesome bounding session didn’t change their perception of me, at least not for the worst.

‘This is… Relaxing?’

For some reason, I decided to leave myself for them. Since I wasn’t flying for the sake of attack or training, being thrown into the air was quite fun.

‘Let’s worry later.’

Considering how much suffering I went through to make this work, a large part of my mind was worrying about the state of the next Domain or if it was even salvageable. However…

“WE DID IT!”

I also wanted to celebrate my accomplishment before worrying about tomorrow’s homework!

[ ‘Prophecy’ Phase 3 has been completed! ]

‘Oh?’

I thought I might have missed something while dealing pure violence to the Demons, and I surprisingly did.

It was the chain quest that didn’t appear earlier, one that wasn’t a hidden phase either, but it was already completed.

[ ‘Prophecy’ (Player Initiated)

Phase 3:

Do your best for the Final Battle! The whole Fire Domain depends on it! (including me)

Completed Objectives(Full Completion):

+ Managed to take down the Leader of the Demon Army. (+1 Level)

+ Eliminated the Demonic Groups that the Demon Army is made of. (+20% of EP needed for next Level-Up per group) (20 Groups = +4 Levels) ]

‘This is full of holes.’

Not only was the Quest’s introduction much weirder than usual, but the rewards were also pathetic compared to the level they were at in Phase 1.

‘Better than nothing, I-‘

[ You have leveled up! ]

[ You have reached level 133! ]

[ You have leveled up! ]

[ You have reached level 134! ]

[ You have leveled up! ]

[ You have reached level 135! ]

[ You have… Error! ]

[ Insufficient EP for Level-Up! ]

‘Seriously?’

The already degraded reward was shaved down even further!

[ As compensation, ‘Prophecy’ Phase 4 has been initiated… ]

[ ‘Prophecy’ (Player Initiated)

Phase 4 (Final Phase):

A close guest has come from afar to visit and say srry, Plz come out to meet me!

!Objective: Please move in the direction of the kira-kira Quest Arrow! (Bonus Limited Time Ability: ‘Quest Arrow Detection’)

=Objective rewards:

– Priceless Treasurezzz! ]

‘Huh?’

Landing on the ground, I raised my hand to stop the Lizardman from sending me back up once more as I stared into the air.

‘Did I hit my head?’

I ran my hand through my head to check for injuries as I looked at the Quest Screen a few more times. Naturally, with the Dragon Helmet covering everything, nothing was wrong with my head.

‘This is real…’

Just what Quest Screen was this full of typos? A Bug?
