The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[Stage task update.]

[Clear Condition]

– Investigate the abnormalities in Irai Lake.

– Protect the summoned contractors in your team from injury or death. The summoned contractors you have to protect are (2/2)

– Help the apostle of G.o.d to destroy the origin monster.

– Obtain the essence of the monster’s origin.

-?

There was no lengthy explanation, only the clear conditions has changed.

I think I can guess what the essence of the monster is.

Because after the monster weakened, the essence’s energy began to leak out.

I also know its location.

It’s at the center of the monster’s enormous brain.

A piece of cake.

“Mind Slash.”

Standing at a distance, I cut the monster’s huge body into pieces with Mind Slash.

If the monster had to be slaughtered like an animal, it would have taken years.

I brandished Mind Slash in successions. While I methodically disintegrated the monster’s body, the Spirit King is stared at me.

I ignore him.

Just like the previous battle, when the Spirit King thought I could not be a threat to him and ignored me.

The Spirit King current condition poised absolutely no threat to me.

He is too weak to make any changes.

On the other hand, I felt very lucky.

Its name is Mind Slash, rather than something like Yeodeuleum Pyo.

With the Spirit King staring at me, I would have been embarra.s.sed if the name of the technique was Yeodeuleum Pyo.

Immediately the thing called the ‘essence’ emerged from the body of the monster.

It’s a fist-sized black stone.

I used magic to dig that thing out of the corpse and bring it in front of me.

“Is this the essence of it?”

I ask the Spirit King.

But he doesn’t answer me.

I looked at him, who is in silence, and pulled half the soul sword out of the scabbard.

[Correct. That’s the essence of the origin.]

His judgment of the situation is in time.

The Spirit King once said that he had met many human contractors and learned a lot from them.

I don’t know from whom he learned, but that person taught him how to behave himself well.

Intriguing.

From the essence of the origin monster, I felt a familiar power.

The power of that essence is very similar to that in the Spirit King’s little head and the power hidden in my chest.

When I defeated the Goblin King on the 35th floor, I got a stone that had a similar power with this one.

When I tried to absorb the power in the essence I failed to draw it out unlike my time on the 35th floor

Then a message shows up suddenly.

[Stage task update.]

[Clear Condition]

– Investigate the abnormalities in Irai Lake.

– Protect the summoned contractors in your team from injury or death. The summoned contractors you have to protect are (2/2)

– Help the apostles of G.o.d to destroy the ‘origin monster’.

– Get the essence of the monster’s origin.

– Present the imitated essence of the origin to the altar of G.o.d.

[The Imitated Essence of the Origin 34]

Explanation: Please dedicate this offering to the altar of G.o.d to increase your contribution.

I am more concerned about the “essence of the origin” explanation rather than the change in clear conditions.

The word ‘imitated is In front of the ‘essence of the origin’.

The difference between the stone from the goblin and this one is probably because it’s ‘imitated’.

Imitated.

The word implies a lot.

In fact, most of the contents in the tutorial is an imitation of other things.

The stage of this tutorial is a kind of a recreation of the region, people, and events from somewhere.

But the word ‘imitated’ has never been used for these things.

How should I think of this word?

Does it mean that the stage failed to perfectly replicate those things?

Or maybe it failed to reconstruct their prototype?

It’s not known yet.

Maybe even if I ask Kiri Kiri, she won’t give me any answers about it.

It should be related to the fact that after I absorbed the power of the stone, the G.o.d of Remorse was voted out of his voice.

Now I have to take the next step.

“Spirit King, what does this power have to do with divine powers?”

[I can’t answer you accurately. I can only tell you that it matters]

It does matter.

It’s enough to know that.

[Have you finished? Then I’ll leave.]

“Wait a minute.”

[Ahb.o.o.boo, it’s almost over. Come here now.]

[OK. The Lovely me is coming.]

I wish that fellow hadn’t said the word “lovely”.

While waiting for Ahb.o.o.boo to come, the Spirit King suddenly spoke again.

[You don’t have to covet this power. Anyway, this power is meaningless for the non-Divine being.]

“Really?”

In other words, this power is meaningful to a G.o.d.

Although I don’t know what this meaningful power is for a G.o.d, that can prove how valuable this power is.

[The same is true of the power hidden in your chest. It’s useless.]

Strangely, the Spirit King’s tone seemed to be a little more gentle.

Although what he said may be true, I can’t find any reason why his att.i.tude became mild after I stabbed him in the back.

[If you give this power to the G.o.ds, the G.o.ds will give you great favor. And it will certainly give you the reward beyond your expectation.]

I just nodded and said I knew it.

The Spirit King’s words make me even more convinced. The essence is indeed a valuable thing.

And if that’s the case, then I don’t have any ideas of giving this thing away easily.

Even if it is a worthless thing to me.

[And……]

The Spirit King continued gingerly.

A strong desire was felt within his quiet prayer.
