Chapter 113
The level of Lei’s magic was not high . He barely knew how to manage a few magic tricks and act like a wandering poet . But his ability to identify magic was extremely powerful . Within just a glance, he could tell the situation on the square right away—–there was no way the city lord Joseph could win this . He could simply break jars, burn people alive, and summon the power of the God .
This was a kind of God Descendant Magic . As compared to the God Descendant Magic cast by Shane, its effect was slightly better . The price he had to pay was pretty big . Every time he used it, he would have to sacrifice a loyal believer with a mighty strength .
For example: the church of the Sun God, the church of the Light God (the Master God of the Human God system) . There was no need to mention the churches with many believers and strong influence . The church of the Harvest Goddess could only be considered medium-scale . Masters like Joseph could only be counted on the fingers of one hand . If they were sacrificed, the Harvest Goddess in the distant Kingdom might have been in pain .
Therefore, she was angry and immediately changed into an avatar, sent down an endless god power, and swore to kill the avatar of the Swamp God who was playing tricks and provoking her; to teach this shameless bastard an unforgettable lesson!
Lei didn’t want to stop in the middle of the battlefield between two Gods, even if they were just avatars! The ascendancy of a fight between Gods was way beyond his imagination . Massacring the entire city was a cinch . He was just an ordinary person . Retreating was still the best option anyway .
He and Stelle ran like they were flying . A moment later, they had run really far away, and caught up with the group of people, who were running for their lives . Lady Teague, Liv, Frank and little Agnes were anxiously waiting for them . As they saw them arriving, they were finally at ease .
Although the progress of this matter didn’t make them happy, after all, everyone was here, and not a single life was damaged .
Seeing the people surrounding which were no longer crowded, as well as recalling the sea of people a moment ago, everyone couldn’t help but feel cold and scared to their core .
“The Swamp God has really gone insane!” Due to his anger, Lei didn’t even bother with the etiquette of “using alias to call Gods”, he angrily said, “All of a sudden, massacring many people . . . Isn’t he scared that the Justice God would look for him to cause trouble?”
The Justice God was one of the kind among the Gods . This God didn’t build a Kingdom nor establish a church . He just sent down a bunch of avatars that traveled everywhere to fight for justice . He didn’t stand up against other Gods just to purely fight for the weak ones . This action of the Swamp God might make him angry and set him on the path of war with the Swamp God .
In terms of fighting power, among the Gods, the one who was able to fight against the Justice God were very few .
If that God had a mighty God system as a backing, he might not be attacked by this solitary Justice God . But this Swamp God was just a marginal character in the Natural God system, and was not welcomed in the Natural God system . This time he dared to go against the Harvest Goddess, who had a very important position in the same God system—where did he get the courage to dare to provoke the Justice God?

Lei’s brain was about to explode as he thought about this, but he couldn’t explain the thinking of that “Lord of Swamp and Poison” . In the end, he could just blame the nature of the chaotic God, who was impervious to reason —-this might be like saying that a wandering poet usually said, “Chaos is more amusing” .
Lady Teague sighed and advised him, “We’d better run faster . The situation of this place is not good . A large-scale fight might happen next . “
Lei nodded, thought for a little bit, then shouted loudly toward the people who were running for their lives to follow him, and leave the port near the east gate .
If leaving, they had to go a long way, but there was no other way . Garles city only had big tow gates . If going to the west gate, they would have to pass the square . The only gate left was the east gate .
The group of people ran like a wolf and rushed like a boar in a panic under the command of Lei to head to the east gate . Moreover, their team was getting bigger and bigger, because there were more and more residents of Garles city who discovered the situation was not right, and joined this fleeing team .
Right at this moment, an intense explosive sound transmitted from the square .
“What is happening this time?!” Lei angrily turned around . He immediately saw there were countless air bubbles coming out of the eccentric mucus body that was ferociously on a rampage . There were some spots that had exploded inside . It was as if it had swallowed something that could explode and was exploding inside its body .
As he was a little frightened, he carefully looked again . As a result, he found that the stomach of the mucus monster was wrapped by a transparent green figure, who was casting magic .
Due to the far distance, he couldn’t see clearly the face of that person . But judging from the action and appearance, this was clearly Holly whom it had eaten alive a moment ago .
“What is this? She didn’t die?”
Lei was dumbstruck . As his eyes timely swiped across Stelle, he immediately figured out the reason .
This woman, Holly . . . perhaps in the moment of death turned into a Holy Spirit of the Harvest Goddess?
Perhaps, it was not a high existence like a Holy Spirit . But without a doubt, she had completely transformed from a spirit to a creature with divinity with enhanced power .
That was a privilege of the high class in the church . On normal days, they were devoted greatly to their Gods . After dying, based on their devotion, they could receive God Grace, and turn into a creature with a powerful divinity . In comparison, no matter how sincere the normal believers were, how many contributions they had made, there was no way they could be compared to the high class .
When thinking about this, Lei smirked mockingly, stopped looking and turned around to leave .
No matter if it was the Harvest Goddess and the Swamp God, they didn’t have anything to do with him . Even if the two families were in a deadly battle, it was just a dogfight anyway .
But at this moment, in the square, the city lord Joseph turned into a green burning flame, becoming an avatar of the Harvest Goddess . He was fighting with a sub body of the Swamp God . The masters of the organizations and churches, who luckily survived, had united with Holly who had turned into a creature with divinity, to attack inside and out, to seize a chance to kill this mucus monster .

This mucus monster was an incarnation of the Swamp God, and also a messenger that the Swamp God had sent down . Before the Swamp God had possessed Shane, it was an incarnation . But after the possession, it was just a God messenger . After losing the direct command of the Swamp God, the weaknesses of the mucus monster, which were its slow reaction and impulsive character, were exposed . Under the attacks from inside and out, it quickly fell into danger .
The biggest contribution among these people was of course Holly . Her scheme was extremely simple . She constantly released green air bubbles, inflated them, and made them explode inside the body of the mucus monster . She continually flicked her hand as seeds few out wildly and landed on the giant body of the monster, quickly sprouted, absorbed its vitality, and grew up rapidly . In a flash, they had turned into giant tree stumps . The tree stumps shook, slowly uprooted, and changed into robust tree-men, which rashly attacked and destroyed the body of the mucus monster .
Moreover, the abilities of the masters of the organizations and churches who survived the terrifying attack like a shower of bullets were not ordinary . They might not afford a face-to-face fight, but under this circumstance where the attention of the enemy was diverted, they were able to drum around as well as punch and kick .
Before the mucus monster was aware of what happened, its body was full of wounds . Its actions became slower and slower . It couldn’t hang on any longer .
At the same time, the sub body of the Swamp God – Shane which was fighting with the incarnation of the Harvest God wasn’t gaining many advantages . It was just a tiny bit more advantageous . Judging from the situations on both sides, even when the mucus monster was killed, he would have any hope in defeating the Harvest Goddess .
Seeing such a situation, he was finally determined, and sent out the signal which had been agreed on beforehand .
A green light accompanied by a stinky smell shot up to the sky, spread widely and turned into a strange symbol .
When the symbol was sent to the sky, the original blue sky suddenly had gale . Black clouds flooded in . The original calm sea was billowing . Muddy waves emerged one after another .
The guards who were at the observatory near the seaside were surprised when they saw many ugly figures which were covered with scales in the waves .
They were scared out of their wits as they hurriedly began ringing the big alarm bell .
“Sea tribe . . . The sea tribe is coming!”
As the bell was rung, everyone was terrified . Even the residents of Garles city, who were hiding inside their houses, at this moment, ran out to look at the harbor .
They knew the meaning of this bell—-these damned sea creatures, they have once again joined hands to come here to massacre!
“Quickly . . . . quickly go report to the city lord!” The chief officer had left to attend the Exploitation Ceremony . Temporarily substituting for him was an officer whose courage and prestige were far behind his . At this moment, he was so scared that his face immediately lost its color and he couldn’t talk but only stutter .
The low-level officers looked at each other . All of them were in panic .
Report to the city lord? How can I report? In the square on the other side, both sides are fighting to the point that the sky is darkened like this . There is no way to go there to report!
“Coward! It is a waste that you have lived this long!” An old officer, whose background was an adventurer couldn’t stand anymore, cursed thunderously, “Is now the time for you to be in a daze? Quickly get ready to fight!”
“But . . . But . . . ” That representative officer said with a sullen face, “The important key to control the magic formation . . . Only Master, the lord city, the priest Holly and young master Shane can activate it . . . “
The old officer’s face darkened . He almost fainted as he heard this——those four people were not here . That giant magic formation had cost Garles city an innumerable amount of money to manufacture . It was specially made to block the sea monsters . At this moment, it couldn’t be used?
Although the number of the soldiers in Garles city was not small, if compared to the great army of the sea tribe, which looked endless, they were indeed far less . Several invasions of the sea tribe had happened in the past . But it was only thanks to this great magic formation that helped beat back the sea tribe under the condition of a huge sacrifice . Right now, the sea tribe had come once again . There were more of them and they were more ferocious than other times, and monstrously arrogant . But the magic formation of Garles city couldn’t be used temporarily . It could only be counted on the soldiers to use their lives to fight .
Gosh, how can we fight this battle?!
“What . . What are we going to do now?” The representative officer opened his mouth to ask while trembling hard . He had taken the old officer with abundant experience who was still calm in such chaos as a straw to save his life . He resented himself for not grabbing the thigh of that old man .
“You ask me, I ask who?!” The old officer angrily cursed, then turned around, shouted at the mass of fleeing people, “The sea tribe has come . Running can’t save you from them! Any brave men here should fight! Step out! We have to buy some time for the residents to retreat!”
However, those adventurers who normally liked to show off their strengths were all silent at this moment . They clearly had been perfectly equipped . One by one they didn’t say anything, but mixed with the mass of people, which was getting more and more crowded, to run to the east gate .
This was no joke . They normally risked their lives for money . Right now, just by a swift look, they could immediately tell that Garles City was done for . How could they make money from this?
Not making any moneyandmaking them buy time for the residents to escape? Let those old warm-blooded knights do this kind of thing!
Of course, there were some adventurers stepping out, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with the soldiers, lining up an array to get ready to fight against the upcoming sea tribe’s army .
There was Lei and Frank, a part of their team .

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14
