Chapter 42: [Morpheus!]

One step at a time, I moved down until I reached an old-looking door. It seems a bit broken, but on a proper look, I could see some array drawn on it.

"First thing first," I smiled as I used the ring to change my form. Since I needed a second temporary identity that would help me go through the weeks here, I decided to just cover myself with dark smoke, while coating myself with a dark cloak. I made sure to cover my head specially.

"Mike testing mike testing," I made my voice a little heavy and ominous to suit the dark image that I was carrying. And when I was satisfied with that, I touched the array placed upon the door.

Perhaps because I had spent so much time playing with that Godly Array in the Mirag Town, this form of array seemed like a child's play to me. Unlocking it took a couple of seconds before I pushed the door open.

The door led to another hallway that seemed to be rather long and narrow.

"Huh? Who are you?" It was only then I noticed a dark mage was guarding the gate from the inside. He seemed to be sleeping and only now he woke up, as he turned at me with an alarmed expression.

[Superstrenght!]

Holding his mouth before he could even begin any chanting, I then held it tightly.

[Dark Fire of Hell!]

Burning him so that even his ashes won't remain, I then checked the notification.

[You have killed a Level 35 Heretic!]

[You have gained +55,000 Exp!]

"Not bad. I guess I could increase my level by one tonight," I smiled as I moved deeper.

The walls were roughly made out of mud, and it didn't seem like it was done by an expert. Perhaps a regular earth mage? There was little light in the path, making it seem like it was made darker on purpose.

After walking for about a minute, I reached the location where those men were. Counting their numbers, they were 12 of them in 3 circles as they seemed to supply the circles the mana.

"I am not interrupting a party, am I?" I spoke as I looked at them, making them lose their focus as they turned at me. While the 12 of them were half-engaged in the ritual, the 13th person who seemed to be the leader moved forward.

"May I know who you are?" He spoke with an analyzing look. His eyes were trying to figure out my purpose here rather than whether I was an enemy or a friend. Must be a stereotype, as all Dark Mages are friends?

"For starters, you can call me Morpheus," I spoke as I moved closer to him. It was an honest smile. I looked at him with a friendly look," and for dessert, I am here to kill you."

And even still, he was more confused about what I was saying than growing cautious of what I was about to do. Heck, he didn't even take a step away from me. Was he so confident of his abilities? Or was it something else altogether?

[Dark Fire of Hell!]

Well. It doesn't matter.

"Huh- A-AAAAAAA!!!!!" He shouted in agony, as his entire body began burning. Perhaps because he was a heretic, the effect was much more than normal and he died within a matter of seconds.

[You have killed a Level 51 Heretic!]

[You have gained 114,900 Exp!]

[Frenzy!]

Couldn't give time to the others to run away, can I?

"R-Run-AAAAAAAA!!!"

"Monster!!!"

"Wh-why? Why is a dark mage-!!"

"Who are you?!!!"

"Traitor!!!!"

They all cried before dying pitifully. I thought it would be troublesome, but perhaps because I caught them off guard, I killed them before they could even fight.

'Or maybe they exhausted themselves trying to charge the circle?' I thought of that possibility as well. Whatever the reason be, the first part of the mission was successful.

[Level up +1]

[+1 All Stats!]

[+2 Free Attribute Points!]

"Now only the monster and the Circle remains," I moved towards the circle and removed it completely. Then moved to the final room where the monsters were.

-GRRRR!!

There were 4 monsters, as Alepsia said, and all of them were chained and caged. Hence…

'Free exp!'

[You haven killed a Fanged Wolf!]

[You have killed a Hell Kobold!]

[You have killed a Cursed Wolf!]

[You have killed a Minion!]

It didn't give me enough to level up again but, I guess it's fine given how I could repeat this thing for over 2 weeks now.

"This was fun. I suppose there is nothing to worry about," I laughed loudly without knowing that I was being monitored by a couple of the Dark Mages using a monitoring artifact.

What was even more surprising was that I forgot to turn off the voice effects of the illusion, so that heavy creepy ominous laugh was kind of sending chills down their spine.

Another snowball effect that I would only notice a few days later.
