Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 517 Harvest
Yaro originally planned to provoke the surrounding monsters, then use the same method he had used to kill the Spider Woman to absorb their powerful attacks with an illusion, and kill them before they could gather their strength.

But their attack came so strangely.

Without them making any move, a strange roar rang in Yaro's ears, as if his brain had been hit directly by an iron hammer, his vision went black, and his body staggered uncontrollably.

At the same time, those strange mouths flew up out of thin air and began to gnaw at Yaro, making a crunching sound as they chewed on the Demon Phoenix Golden Armor.

The humanoid mouth, however, seemed slightly more intelligent, with a slight upturn at the corners, as if mocking the other lips, pointing directly at Yaro's unprotected nape.

This area was actually reserved by Yaro specifically to complement the sensory area of ​​the Catwalk Fist; it can be understood as a weakened eye.

The movement of these human-shaped lips was like a sharp knife piercing Yarrow's eye.

This gave Yaro goosebumps, and his long-trained fighting spirit was suddenly activated, instantly restoring a moment of clarity.

"My mental energy is fluctuating uncontrollably, making it impossible to perform other spells!"

"The Demonic Strike Technique is still operating, supported by the pre-existing magical runes in the Demonic Phoenix Golden Armor!"

Yaro made a judgment immediately.

There's no time to control the magic and use other actions. Now there's only one way—destruction is always easier than construction!
It's much simpler to unleash abyssal magic at will than to restrict it and make it have a fixed effect!
The phoenix on the magic armor let out a long cry, and the flight exhaust vents reserved for the third layer of magic strike were suddenly opened, causing the high-pressure abyssal magic flowing inside the magic armor to surge out abruptly!
Bang-!
The intense abyssal magic stirred up a gust of wind, blowing away the surrounding eerie lips and propelling Yaro's body forward.

The body's movements activated Yaro's long-trained muscle memory.

Muscle memory reawakened Yaro's fighting spirit.

The pain in my consciousness was greatly reduced.

The lingering pain, like a war drum, stirred up a surge of passion and excitement throughout my body!
Yaro raised his heavy sword high and, using the momentum, brought it down with a sudden slash.

Basic swordsmanship - slash!
The dense clusters of eyeballs burst like balloons, generating wave after wave of mental shocks that reverberated through Yaro's consciousness, yet could not suppress the sword in his hand.

Before Yaro could sheathe his sword, the row of eyeballs he had just cleaved open began to sprout again.

Just like leaving a trail of ripples on the surface of water, shattering the reflection in the water, but not damaging the root of the problem.

The strange lips caught up again, circling around Yaro like a pair of dancing butterflies, accompanied by giggling laughter.

"Look, he's still struggling."

"It's so fresh, it must be really chewy!"

"It's no use, it's no use! The gloomy fog is our prey, you can't escape your destined fate!"

……

It's no use, it's no use!
No matter how I slashed, it was no use!
Yaro's mind began to wander, and he mechanically swung his sword based solely on muscle memory.

"Could it be... that I'm going to die here?"

With his mental energy constantly vibrating, he was naturally unable to cast any spells.

But if we don't use magic, how can we break out of this predicament?
give up?

"No! Even if I have to die, I will die from exhaustion!"

Yaro gritted his teeth and swung his sword with all his might.

"If you're not dead, there's still a chance!"

Just then, a string of information flashed across the system screen.

……

[Ding! Defeat the enemy, Magic Strike skill gained 97 experience points]

[Ding! Defeat the enemy and gain 5 experience points in Basic Swordsmanship]

……

This is... experience points!
Yaro's eyes lit up.

"Pure physical attacks are ineffective?"

"Oh right, didn't I burn that shadow with fire before?"

Yaro understood.

It must be said that these kinds of monsters are indeed troublesome.

It interferes with mental energy and suppresses spellcasting, and is basically ineffective against pure physical attacks... It's practically invincible in theory.

In particular, how can ordinary people possibly investigate their background? Not to mention being blinded, they can't withstand the mental shock, and they'll die the same way if they meet them face to face.

Having determined the direction, Yaro changed his attack method.

They were exploring more efficient ways to kill.

……

[Ding! Defeat the enemy, Magic Strike skill gained 91 experience points]

[Ding! Defeat the enemy, gain 11 experience points in Basic Swordsmanship]...

[Ding! Defeat the enemy, Magic Strike skill gained 85 experience points]

[Ding! Defeat the enemy, and the Fiery Sword Technique will gain 20 experience points]

……

The continuous battles honed his consciousness, and long-dormant memories were constantly awakened.

That was when I was a child, after viewing a painting of an evil god, my mental energy was completely depleted, but I still forced myself to fight despite the discomfort... or it was an experience of reaping experience points.

The same mental repression, the same unbridled harvest... Yaro is all too familiar with this rhythm!
The experience points kept increasing, and the lips that were flying around continued to chatter incessantly.

"It's useless, it's useless!"

"Only light is the realm inhabited by humankind; shadow does not belong to humankind."

"What a waste of effort!"

……

After these monsters 'died,' they left absolutely no trace. If it weren't for the system notification, these 'lips' might have really fooled people.

But if you add the experience points that flash across the system panel, it becomes the ravages of a loser, a hilarious joke.

……

[Personal Level LV23: 13682/32000]

……

[Personal Level LV23: 15527/32000]

……

[Personal Level LV23: 19891/32000]

……

Ignoring everything else, Yaro focused solely on 'harvesting,' and his overall experience points rapidly increased, soon approaching ten thousand.

At this point, the 'lips' finally changed their tune.

"What a resilient human being. Alright, alright, I'll give you a chance to leave."

"Your perseverance has earned you a chance to return to the light!"

"By the way, by the way, we all admire people like you."

……

Yaro naturally didn't want to leave, but after these 'lips' finished speaking, the 'eyes' around him closed one by one.

In the blink of an eye, all the 'eyes' disappeared, just as suddenly as they had appeared.

Yaro continued his attack, but even after breaking through the walls, he gained nothing.

Just like when they close their eyes, they disappear from this space.

Looking around, the 'lips' that had been fluttering around me just moments before had also vanished without me even noticing.

"Don't go! I yearn for the shadows, I don't want to return to the light!"

All around was quiet.

It's like an ordinary, old, and simple dark castle corridor.

Yaro's eyes were bloodshot, and he was heartbroken.

Pain, pain, pain!

It hurts so much!
So much small change!
—They all ran away!

If he could, Yaro would want to plow the entire corridor!
"Never mind, finding Heri is the priority."

Yaro comforted himself and focused on sensing Heli's location... The direction hadn't changed, but it felt like there was an extra layer of barrier when he tried to sense it.

"Is the feeling of alienation because I'm in the 'shadows'?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this eerie space can be roughly divided into a 'bright surface world' and a 'cold and dangerous inner world'?"

"So, the way to return to the 'outer world under the light' must be to light a fire, right?"

Hmm, we might need to add one more: the monsters of the underworld are 'willing' to let them go.

Otherwise, Yaro had also used 'Fire Scorch' before, but he still failed to return.
