CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 352: LAMENT OF THE GIANT KING’S COURT

Exhausting until only two hundred points were left, Baiyu’s Spiritual Value finally rose to eight hundred Pa!

This is a qualitative change.

He now has a clear mind and quick thoughts.

Many pieces of knowledge that were previously incomprehensible suddenly became clear at this moment.

This is the benefit of Spiritual Power enhancement.

But this is also the limit.

When reaching a Spiritual Value of eight hundred Pa, Baiyu already had a vague feeling in his heart.

If he improved further, it was very likely his brain would not be able to withstand it.

As for the consequences.

Either become a madman or become a mutated monster.

"Next, let me look at this Nightmare Task."

Baiyu’s eyes focused on the task column.

The scarlet text seemed to be written with some unknown blood, emitting an eerie red light that made people feel an uncontrollable fear in their hearts.

However.

Baiyu is no longer the little rookie he once was.

[Nightmare Difficulty]: Facing the bizarre is a very crazy thing, but only by experiencing the bizarre can one understand the true meaning of this world. Alone in a quiet and enclosed environment, repeatedly chant the following mystical language for ten minutes... Reward: Unknown!

Since this task appeared in the task column, except for disappearing once or twice, it has not changed.

Baiyu had never planned to attempt it before.

But now.

He has to take this step.

[Giving up the Elite Level task "Discover Rare Level Extraordinary Creatures" will cost fifty points, do you want to give up?]

This prompt popped up on the task panel beside.

Baiyu did not hesitate and chose [Give Up].

This task is not difficult, but it consumes too much time and energy.

It also requires a bit of luck.

For instance, discovering the "Moth of All Beings" in the library books.

This is the first time giving up a task.

Baiyu felt a bit heartbroken.

But at this moment, to undertake the Nightmare Difficulty task, giving up this task is the best choice.

After a moment.

The Elite Level task disappeared from the panel.

Baiyu directly started the Nightmare Difficulty task.

Accept the task!

He took a deep breath, and suddenly a parchment appeared in his hand, full of crooked and mysterious writings possessing some unknown force.

Just looking at these writings caused dizziness and ringing in the ears.

They do not belong to the Mystical Language.

Nor any known writings to Baiyu.

However, when looking at these writings, he could accurately read their syllables.

"Is this the mystical language mentioned in the task requirement?"

Baiyu understood in his heart.

At Nightmare Difficulty, no amount of caution is too much.

He took a deep breath and started reading the mystical language one word at a time without deriving any strange information.

These bizarre writings, although unsettling, and making the head feel stuffed as if it about to explode, seemed to have no intrinsic meaning.

Baiyu could confirm.

If it were him before, seeing this mystical language, he might have directly mutated.

But now, his endurance was totally different.

The influence of the mystical language was still within an acceptable range.

"Chant this mystical language in a quiet and enclosed place, the Scholar Space should also meet this condition.

The space itself has a function of isolating the mysterious.

With this.

Actually, the difficulty of this Nightmare Task is greatly reduced."

Baiyu carefully read the task requirements, ensured there were no omissions, and began to recite the syllables one word at a time.

The pronunciations of these words are extremely bizarre.

And.

As Baiyu uttered them, he felt a mysterious force in the dark seemed to want to surge into his body.

A series of hazy images appeared in his mind.

Blood-stained giant corpses, ruined city-states, ancient dragons falling from the sky, horrific screams and shouts.

And unspeakable, unseeable terrifying entities in the unknown.

Their horrifying power causing the sky to crack, the earth to collapse, turning thousands of souls into charcoal and dust.

This is...

Divine Battle!!

After Baiyu recited the mystical language, he found himself unable to move, completely immobilized.

And there was a powerful tugging force trying to pull him from reality into the void.

This force is vast and terrifying.

But because of the Scholar Space’s blockade, he was able to keep safe, continuing to chant word by word...

About thirty minutes later.

Baiyu finished chanting these short sentences.

The further he went, the more terrifying he felt the tugging force, wanting to absorb his entire soul away.

The scenes in his mind became increasingly shocking.

He was like an outsider watching this epic battle.

Many people, unknown by name, charged toward mountain-like giants with weapons in hand.

Their shouted names were unclear to Baiyu, but he guessed they were surely the divine spirits they believed in.

The entire scene was in blood and fire combat.

When Baiyu finished the incantation, only then did all these images burst from his mind.

He took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

The characters on the parchment in his hand.

Had somehow turned into Mystical Language he could comprehend.

"Lament of the Giant King’s Court?"

After being changed, the parchment recorded a page of poetry, written in Mystical Language, with very obscure and difficult words.

Baiyu’s knowledge of Mystical Language was not deep.

But he felt it necessary to strengthen his learning in this area, otherwise it would greatly hinder his study of Mysticism.

Especially as the knowledge he accessed became increasingly profound.

The poem was very long.

Most of the text praised the greatness of the Giant Kingdom, then spent the remaining text depicting that epic battle.

Baiyu read from start to finish.

And then...

And then nothing.

That’s it for the Nightmare Difficulty task?

Baiyu even prepared a series of backups, but now they were unused, having just finished his chanting.

Does this mean he has completed the task now?

As he pondered.

On the task panel, the Nightmare Difficulty column already had a tick mark.

This indicates the task is complete!

[Truth is often a nightmare to many.

The sanctity and nobility of gods are just a cloak of their mighty force.

When the cloak is stripped away, you will find they too can lose control, mutate, and die.

They are merely more powerful cultivators.]

The prompt from the space echoed in his mind.

[You have completed the Nightmare Task "Chanting Giant God Curse"!]

[You have received a special three-choice reward!]

Two mechanical synthesized voices without emotion echoed in his mind.

[1, a Magical Item suitable for you]

[2, a Divine Technique suitable for you]

[3, a Professional Magic Elixir Recipe suitable for you]

Three options were listed.

Baiyu’s heart, which was hanging, finally settled down.

The simplicity of the Nightmare Task far exceeded his expectations.
