A FEW DAYS LATER.
If anyone will see Alex's hideout right now, they will surely falter, as an oppressive aura could be felt emanating from it.
This is the first time that this oppressive aura appeared from the hideout, and it was enough to scare anyone from approaching the hideout rashly.
As for why this oppressive aura suddenly appeared, the reason for this could be seen on its very inhabitants.
"Today is the day that our Main Mission will start." Alex, who was currently sitting on his reclining chair with a serious expression on his face, said as he stared at his allies. "I hope that all of us are already mentally and physically prepared for this. Because from what I can see, this Main Mission will most likely be our most difficult mission yet!"
Alina and Queen Mother, who were sitting beside each other, only gave Alex grave nods as they seemed to agree with him.
As for Professor Frances, she was sitting at a corner with her arms crossed, as if she was not that worried about what will happen later.
"Hmph, I hope you really are prepared." Asteria, the blonde fairy, said as she finished eating her honey sandwich. "The difficulty curve on the Main Missions usually spikes up at the 4th world, so expect something ridiculous for today's Main Mission! Hmph, now that I reminded you about this, you should all remember to not complain once I announce the Main Mission! I'm warning y'all already!"
"…"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, we understand what you wanted to say." Alex said as he waved his hands dismissively. "You have been saying that exact line since yesterday. Are you a broken disc or something? Please, just shut up and just talk once we really need you to talk."
Needless to say, Asteria was incensed by Alex's dismissal of her words.
"Hooman! I noticed that since we arrived at this world, you have been treating me harsher compared to before!" Asteria shouted as she landed on top of Alina's head. "Are you really that petty against someone noble like me?"
"Noble my ass!" Alex grumbled as he shook his head. "If you want me to treat you better, then you should go and talk already!"
"Hah?"
"Dumb fairy, out of everyone here, you are the only one who refuses to open up, even by just a little." Alex said as he pressed on. "You want me to treat you better? Then you should do something to earn that!"
"…"
As Asteria visibly struggled on top of Alina's head, Alex averted his gaze as he looked around him.
Kiera and her grandpa were nowhere to be found on this living room, as they were currently at the yard outside the house, busy on fixing some wooden chairs that broke yesterday.
With Alex's countermeasures in place, Kiera and her grandpa won't be able to hear whatever Alex and his Companions were talking about right now.
"…" As Alex thought of these two, he started to frown, as he was a little unsure on what he should do to Kiera and her grandfather once the Main Mission starts.
Should Alex bring them with him, or should he just hide them in a safe location?
Both choices have merits and demerits for Alex, but if it was Alex who makes the choice, he will undoubtedly bring the two with him.
After all, Kiera was a recipient of the Red Moon, and with Alex already obtaining the information about the Trinity Theory from Nero, having Kiera with him will help Alex on unravelling the true nature of her power.
Besides, Alex can also see that Kiera's grandfather has some kind of mysterious background, which the old man refuses to confirm.
Alex knew that as long as he keeps the old man with him, he can take advantage of this old man's background.
However, this will only happen if the old man and Kiera would want to join Alex.
What will happen to Kiera and her grandpa will be entirely up to their discretion.
If Kiera and her grandpa wants to join them, then Alex will gladly bring them with him. If they don't, then Alex will respect their wishes, and Alex will just have to look for another Red Moon Power Recipient.
"But why should I be worried about this? With my cooking skills and all these beautiful women with me, I'm sure that Kiera would want to join us." Alex thought to himself as he suppressed his chuckle. "That little girl would not want to be separated from her Big Sisters after all…"
After thinking about these two, Alex looked back at Asteria, who still had the struggling look on her face.
"Oh come on, where did your willingness to speak up before has gone to?" Alex exasperatedly asked Asteria as he scratched the back of his head. "Didn't you promise that you will talk?"
"You-" Asteria raised her voice in an attempt to reply to Alex, but before she could say what she wanted to say, the sudden glow on the mark on Alex's forehead effectively stopped them on their tracks.
"Hong~"
As the mark on his forehead intensified, Alex saw Asteria flying towards the mark with a dazed look on her eyes.
The dumb fairy touched the mark for exactly 1 minute before she let go of it.
The glow of the mark then died down as Asteria sat back on Alina's head.
"…"
Before Alex or the others could demand her to speak up, Asteria beat them to it as she started to talk.
[MAIN MISSION: SURVIVE THE FOURTH CALAMITY AND TERMINATE IT. TIME LIMIT: 1 YEAR.]
Just like before, Asteria's voice sounded extremely mysterious as she talked about the details of the Main Mission.
"…" As Alex heard what Asteria said, he started to cup his chin as he analyzed what she said.
From the looks of it, the winning condition of this Main Mission was the termination of the Fourth Calamity.
Since this is the winning condition, then only the Traveler Team that terminates the Fourth Calamity will pass the Main Mission.
If a Traveler Team only manages to survive the Fourth Calamity and not terminate it, then they will be deemed to have failed the mission.
"Tsk, so what Asteria said earlier is true. The difficulty does spike up in the 4th World." Alex muttered to himself as he shook his head in resignation. "Well, since the time limit is 1 year, we still have a lot of time to sort this Main Mission out!"
But before Alex could start formulating plans for the Main Mission, Asteria continued talking with that mysterious voice of hers.
[BONUS MISSION 1: DESTROY THE MOONS! DESTRUCTION OF ONE MOON WILL EQUATE TO 125 YEARS OF LIFESPAN. DESTRUCTION OF TWO MOONS WILL EQUATE TO 250 YEARS OF LIFESPAN. DESTRUCTION OF THREE MOONS WILL EQUATE TO 500 YEARS OF LIFESPAN. DESTRUCTION OF FOUR MOONS WILL EQUATE TO 1000 YEARS OF LIFESPAN.]
The silence that followed what Asteria just said was pronouncedly long.
"…."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"There is a bonus mission that asks for the destruction of the moons?" Alex thought to himself as a surprised expression appeared on his face. "Isn't this too much?"
"…." But even though he was surprised with what he heard, Alex could not help but salivate from the rewards that he heard.
Just destroying 1 moon was already enough to make up the lifespan that Alex had lost on his world transfer!
And destroying all moons will actually give out 1,000 years of lifespan? Even if Alex was a miser, even he would not let go of this kind of reward!
"…"
But before Alex could start fantasizing about blowing up the moons, his thoughts were interrupted as Asteria did not stop her talking spree.
[BONUS MISSION 2: KILL ALL RECIPIENTS OF THE MOON POWER. KILLING A MOON POWER RECIPIENT WILL EQUATE TO 1 MONTH OF LIFESPAN. KILLING TWO MOON POWER RECIPENTS WILL EQUATE TO TWO MONTHS OF LIFESPAN . KILLING THREE MOON POWER RECIPENTS WILL EQUATE TO THREE MONTHS OF LIFESPAN, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.]
"Heavens, this is just crazy!" That was all that Alex could think as he heard the details of the Bonus Mission 2.
But before Alex could think of the repercussions of this Bonus Mission, Asteria dropped another bomb as she continued talking.
[BONUS MISSION 3: ACQUIRE THE LEGACY WEAPON OF THE INFERNAL MONARCH. REWARD FOR THIS CAN BE NEGOTIATED.]
"..." After Asteria said these words, Alex and Alina stared back at Asteria warily, as if they were waiting for her to drop another bombshell.
Fortunately for them, Asteria did not say anything more as she flew back on Alina's head and started to sleep there.
"…"
With Asteria finished with the mission details, Alex, Alina, Queen Mother, and Professor Frances were all reduced to silence as they tried to understand what they just heard.
"…This world… really is something else." Alex muttered to himself as he let out a shaky laugh.
End the Fourth Calamity, destroy the moons, kill the moon power recipients, and acquire the legacy weapon of the Infernal Monarch.
Each of these mission was already difficult on its own, but for all of them to be given here in this world is just madness!
And who the heck is the Infernal Monarch? Why is his Legacy Weapon even mentioned here?
"F**k, with all these missions, I'm sure that this world will be plunged into chaos even before the Fourth Calamity starts!" Alex muttered to himself as he let out a sigh. "Sigh, what a day to be alive…"
"…"
Once he managed to calm down the waves of astonishment in his heart, Alex looked at his allies in front of him as he asked them,
"So, what should we do now?"
"Well-" But before his companions could reply, Alex suddenly felt a sensation of danger.
"!!!"
No, this is not just a normal sensation of danger.
For Alex, the danger that he sensed right now can be said to be the greatest that he had felt in his life!
It was even stronger compared to the appearance of the Red Moon 1 month ago!
And what made this worse was the fact that the danger that Alex was sensing was actually increasing!
Alex's uneasy feelings were amplified when the sky above them experienced a massive change.
The time right now was morning, which meant that the sky should be blue and vibrant.
But instead of seeing that and the sun, what Alex saw was a night sky dotted with stars and the 4 moons!
"What the hell…" Before Alex could even fathom what he had just seen, he suddenly saw something that made him almost stumble on his place.
With his very own eyes, Alex saw the Red Moon releasing a bright and massive beam of red light towards the ground!
As Alex's eyes followed this red beam of light, he could not help but grimace as he could already see what this red light beam would do.
"When the Blue Moon started the First Calamity, it first released blue beam of light, which opened a portal here. When the Yellow Moon started the Second Calamity, it first released a yellow beam of light which opened a portal here. And when the Green Moon started the Third Calamity, it released a green beam of light, which also opened a portal here…"
After Alina uttered these words, there was nothing that Alex could do except to sigh, as all of them already knew what the red beam of light would do.
"God****! Does the Fourth Calamity have to start right now?" Alex muttered to himself angrily as he saw Kiera and her grandpa running back to their hideout. "They did not even allow us to purchase skills and items first! F***!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
A FEW DAYS LATER.
