Chapter 135
The sword that was about to slice precisely through my chest.
Clang!
Was completely deflected as it hit a faint protection shield.
And at the same time, letters appeared floating in the air.
[System] Protection Shield used 1 time. Remaining Protection Shield: 2 times
“…Wh, what just?”
The Fanatic who had been glaring at me with gloomy eyes shouted.
“You bitch, you’re not human from the Spring Continent!”
“What are you saying! I almost died, you bastard!”
But that bastard couldn’t hear my response.
Whether some courage had welled up, or Tulia’s inner nature of charging forward recklessly had exploded to life at this once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Because I had kicked between the Fanatic’s legs while blinking my eyes frantically.
“Gueok!”
Almost simultaneously, Max who had climbed back up shouted.
“You crazy bastard! You tried to cut the young lady?! I almost died because of that!”
“Uaaaaaaak!”
Leaving behind slightly strange parting words, Max grabbed the Fanatic and fell downward.
‘Wow.’
Bold, so bold.
Half admiring and half wary of his Nongae Tactic(?).
I looked around the vast altar.
Climbing up had been extremely difficult, but the top was structured as a flat plane that spread out widely without obstruction.
Fortunately, there were no other Fanatics.
There were no dismembered corpses either.
However.
“…?”
In the center of the altar, there was something like a strange summoning circle drawn as if Rune Characters had been scribbled.
And lying exactly in the center was a man.
The top of the altar was dark, so I couldn’t see his face or build clearly. I could only tell that he was emaciated like the other sacrifices.
At the same time, the clock stopped.
(Time remaining: 22 seconds)
[System] You have completed the emergency Quest ‘New Master’!
[System] For successfully completing the emergency Quest, you have obtained 2 remaining Protection Shields!
“Haah…”
I collapsed onto the ground with a thud.
‘At least it seems like he went to the afterlife in one piece, so I should collect his head and bury him properly later…’
I came here just to get some fertilizer and what the hell is this situation.
Is this place really… yes, is this really Inside the Game.
No, the System Window does appear so it must be Inside the Game, but is this the game I know.
『Why Did That Young Lady Give Bread to the Handsome Man』
Wasn’t it poison, not bread?
Isn’t the young lady actually a monster?!
Isn’t he a monster, not a handsome man!
That damn Poop Star! I know full well it’s impossible to catch, but I swore I’d somehow catch it and break it in half as I stood up abruptly.
Suddenly my vision sparkled again.
And then, really.
Really absurd letters appeared.
[System] Hidden Quest activated!
You who have become difficult to call trash anymore!
But don’t be disappointed!
A new Hidden Quest is given to you who are exemplarily running toward A-grade!
‘What?’
Except for the main Quest, this was the first time content was attached below a Quest.
Hidden Quest Content: Master of Fate
Hidden Quest Objective: Save ‘Klaus Rosevar’!
‘What?’
Klaus Rosevar?
‘Wait, then that man is possibly…’
I looked in panic at the corpse lying in the center of the altar in the distance.
‘Why is Klaus Rosevar here?’
He’s a hidden male lead!
A hidden male lead that even I, who played hundreds and thousands of times, had only seen once!
Whether I was panicking or not, the System Window faithfully continued displaying text.
Upon success: You will obtain the items ‘Rainbow Fertilizer’ and ‘White Tulip Seeds’.
Upon failure: Become one of the dismembered corpses (entire family belonging to Frazier)
(Time limit: 5 minutes)
“…What did you say?”
I blinked my eyes.
It was the first time. The first time I didn’t feel anger toward the System Window that was trying to drive me to death as usual.
I was overwhelmed by a different emotion.
Namely, doubt.
‘What is this System?’
My plan to obtain Rainbow Fertilizer and White Tulip Seeds was literally ‘my’ plan.
It wasn’t following a Quest, but a plan I had completely planned and executed independently of the game.
It also wasn’t about getting involved with the game’s protagonist or important supporting characters like before.
It was purely a plan that I, Tulia, had tried to execute to become filthy rich…
That’s why it was strange.
How could this System Window try to interfere even with my, Tulia’s, such independent plans?
How could it present those two items as Hidden Quest rewards like an omniscient god who sees everything?
My body was hot from all the crawling and running, but my spine felt chilled.
I was swept up in fear like a lost child dropped into a universe with nowhere to set foot.
(Time Remaining: 4 minutes 45 seconds)
However, there was no time to stand around trembling in a daze.
I sprang out again like a robot being controlled.
“Woman from the Extinct Continent!”
“I’ll kill you! How dare you interfere with the sacred ritual!”
“Ah, Lord Animus!”
“We will offer you a true sacrifice!”
Seeing the fanatics crawling up like cockroaches, I gasped in horror.
“Crazy bastards!”
What the hell were these lunatics doing, and how did they even climb up here?
One of them even crawled up despite having his arm completely severed. Are they insane?
I hurriedly ran toward Klaus Rosevar.
Fortunately, the distance between Klaus and me was close, and they weren’t moving very fast, seemingly having sustained tremendous injuries.
But it was still close.
“Why aren’t you coming up…!”
Don’t tell me they all died down there?
Even though I could hear the clashing of swords and shouting from below the altar, no one was coming up, which made me panic.
Perhaps the fanatics were more formidable than expected.
If so, no one might be able to save me.
I have to survive.
I’ve done everything I could just to live!
Gritting my teeth, I ran to the center of the altar and slid down in front of him.
“Klaus! Klaus Rosevar!”
I hurriedly shook him, but Klaus Rosevar didn’t move at all.
“Hey! Open your eyes! Open your eyes…!”
Suddenly, I stopped speaking.
I realized that begging the System Window to count this as completing the Hidden Quest since I had saved him would be useless.
Klaus Rosevar…
‘…He’s already dead.’
Not in a figurative sense, but in a physical sense.
“…”
Really, truly.
“Klaus…?”
The hidden male lead was dead.
“This can’t be…”
The emotion I felt in that moment wasn’t shock or sadness.
It was.
“Hey! What am I supposed to do if you die!”
Extreme rage.
“If you die, my Main Quest will completely fail! Are you insane?!”
It would be one thing if I had never met him at all, but I already had!
That means he too had become one of the male leads I needed to build affection with!
What am I supposed to do if he’s already dead!
They say when anger reaches its peak, people display superhuman strength?
In this urgent situation, I managed to remember a benefit I had forgotten.
“Benefit! Come out, benefit!”
Master of Life.
The benefit I had acquired before floated up with a brilliant light.
[System] ‘Master of Life’ Benefit: Can revive a dead male protagonist once only (One-time use)
“I’m using it! I’m using the benefit! I’m using Master of Life!”
It was instantaneous.
An tremendous light burst forth right before my eyes. Even I, whose eyes were bloodshot red from extreme rage, had to close my eyelids for a moment.
And then.
“Ugh!”
In an instant, my hair was grabbed and twisted.
“Ah, Lord Animus!”
“We offer this filthy wench who uses dark magic, so please quell your anger!”
“Please quell it!”
The fanatics had somehow crawled over here.
The protection shield I had gained from completing the sudden quest earlier apparently only activated when my life was in danger.
But the pain of my scalp being torn was also terrible and infuriating.
“Let go! It hurts!”
“Shut your mouth! Filthy wench!”
“Who’s calling who filthy…!”
Even in this situation, Tulia’s personality absolutely refused to be intimidated and kept shouting back.
But I couldn’t finish screaming.
Crack.
“…?!”
Because right before my eyes, the fanatic’s face was literally ‘crushed.’
It wasn’t struck down with a hammer or blunt weapon.
Just the grip strength of a large hand.
A violently cruel force that completely crushed a person’s face with that alone.
That hand had grabbed the fanatic’s face and burst it.
Like crushing a watermelon or apple with bare hands.
“…”
Having the blood of someone who was alive just moments before splatter on my face was a horrific experience.
I reflexively closed my eyes.
“Ah, Lord Animus…! Ack!”
“How did the dead one awaken… That wench…?! Gack!”
“We have to kill that wench first! Ahhh!”
Right after I felt the fanatics’ voices gradually mixing with fear and screams.
“Gasp!”
My collar was grabbed and I was ‘dragged’ up.
“…Wench.”
It was a slightly breathless voice.
“Did you save me?”
It was Klaus Rosevar.
The hidden male protagonist was glaring at me right before my eyes as if he would kill me.
