Chapter 914
"Let us try first then. We will retreat and ask Equinox for help if we cannot defeat this corrupted being." Kabrakan added to which the two nodded. They must not always call upon their cheat code when things get rough.
"Can I ask about this corrupted being? How did it come to be?" Kabrakan asked.
"Certainly. I must tell you in detail, but it happened eleven years ago when rocks from the sky started to rain down on Mahar Lika. The warriors of the gods and goddesses stepped forward and destroyed these rocks before they could wreak havoc on the land.
The small space rocks were not that difficult to destroy but three great rocks that are as big as islands started to descend. Some of the champions became greatly injured when they tried to destroy them, but they still managed to do it. What the champions did not expect are alien entities coming out from these rocks.
Mahar Lika is divided into three islands and each island has one huge rock that descended onto it. The first island, Nozul, is the first to encounter an alien being. It came in the form of a jagged and twisted rock monster. Its body is extremely tough to the point that only champions could defeat it. A lot of champions perished dealing with this monster.
The second island, Sayasiv, also experienced this problem as their forests started to dry up. It is then they discovered that a black distorted tree started to eat up the forest. Not only the forest but also the wildlife inside of it became its prey. A lot of champions battled against it once again and many also perished.
The third island, Oanadnim, is also expected to have one so we searched for the debris, but nothing came out. It was only a few months later that year that we noticed one of the Blessed Ones, Nuno, becoming something different. At first, the blessed one is acting normally but we did not know that he was already sapping the energy from the ground itself.
We only noticed clear signs when our crops would suddenly die after one month of harvest. We tried praying to the Soil of the Wilde to grant us blessing once more and it did. The harvest came back to normal but a month later everything changed. The blessed one, Nuno, took the Soil of the Wilde and started to incorporate it into its body." Kala stated.
"If it is fragment of a god then the other gods should have noticed the change." Levin Cloud stated.
"The gods noticed too late as it seems that the great god that made Nuno became corrupted as well. The great god managed to fool the other gods until the High God that it follows noticed the strange behavior. In the end, that great god was killed but some of its power escaped to its fragment, Nuno.
This in turn made some of the gods descend and seal the corrupted god fragment. At first, they also wanted to kill it, but the corrupted power and the Soil of the Wilde made Nuno more powerful. Gods and goddesses cannot exert full power in the mortal realm despite this land being half a divine realm." Bao stated.
"The other champions will surely answer our call. The third island currently has two other active champions that are fit for battle. With the Champion of Bathala, I believe that all of you can defeat the corrupted god fragment. The gods and goddesses have sealed it so it should not have accumulated enough power to defeat your combined might." Bao added.
The three looked at each other and nodded. They have no choice but to accept the quest since they need to get the Soil of the Wilde as well. In the end, they were forced to complete this quest but slaying a god fragment is still considered as killing a god. The rewards will surely be great to the point that rankers will be crying blood to participate.
"We accept." Kabrakan, Levin Cloud, and Peridot stated simultaneously.
"I accept as well. I should help out the Carabao Clan since they are important family members of Mahar Lika. The supreme god, Bathala, would definitely scold me if I do not help them." Apolaki stated.
"Great. The two other champions will be called here. Please feel free to look around the area while all of you wait for their arrival." Kala stated as he once again hugged Kabrakan.

"A SS difficulty quest!" Apolaki suddenly exclaimed as this is the first time that he encountered this quest difficulty.
"First time? I guess even famous rankers have yet to acquire quests like these." Levin Cloud stated as he laughed haughtily.
"The difficulty is probably due to the fact that we fail this quest if the two NPC champions will die. Levin Cloud might be able to revive us players but he cannot revive dead NPCs so he will need to focus on keeping them alive." Peridot stated which made Apolaki suddenly exclaim once more.
"You can revive people?!" Apolaki exclaimed as this is the first time that he heard of another player that can revive others. The only one that he knows that could do that is Anastasia.
