The Tutorial Is Too Hard Chapter 250:

Editor: Xzider

 

It had turned into something that was known as the source .

 

The people began to lose their consciousness .

While the people connected through the link became unconscious, their feelings and emotions passing into me also waned .

 

The source absorbed the power until the people lost consciousness, but stopped before killing him .

Some people seemed to have died, either because they were killed in an accident or due to their weak vitality .

 

Even though this was good, it was questionable whether the survivors would be able to maintain a normal life .

Only some would be able to roam around with a sane mind while they had memories of facing the fear and emptiness after their powers got engulfed .

 

It was soon clear why the source didn’t take people’s lives .

He probably didn’t want to waste his strength in absorbing the energy left behind .

 

Interesting .

It had intelligence .

Despite being able to make decisions, it had little qualms about devouring people’s lifeforce .

 

The source had now begun to concentrate what remained of its powers .

Its feelings rushed through the link I had with the entity .

It was rejoicing .

 

Celebrating the situation’s turnaround like this .

For having grasped this opportunity .

Lastly, for having a very coveted prey in front of him .

 

The source turned towards me with obvious provocation, as if it was saying – It’s your turn now, get ready to die .

 

Did it know that I could sense its feelings?

It was unlikely .

All the sources I had previously met were as dumb as birds yet clever in unexpected ways .

I couldn’t judge hastily .

 

Now the only remaining intelligent beings on this planet were me and the source .

It was also uncertain whether that source could be called intelligent .

 

[You’re not really intelligent either …]

 

Oh shut up .

Don’t focus on trivial facts .

 

The source’s link that was previously spread across the planet was now focused on one person .

The pressure on me had increased compared to before .

I dragged out the time by enduring it .

 

Through this link, we could sense emotions, judgments, and memories of the other party, and at the same time, we were aware that it was a two-way end .

As the link became stronger and thicker, my power was being absorbed faster, but at the same time, I could also gain an insight about the source .  

 

Memories and facts began to escape from both of our consciousness, drifting through the link .

 

The memories I had when I was a normal human .

My understanding and the concept of dealing with the superpowers were invaluable information that could not be recklessly exchanged for anything .

 

In addition to that, the knowledge I had as a human being .

Knowledge of a world that was aware of the existence of the tutorial and vaccine .

It was highly likely that the source would come to know about that now .

 

Last but not least, the new facts that I learned from the source .

I had to find out what kind of future one could weave with the ability to absorb people’s power similar to a source .

 

It was akin to fishing .

I tried hard not to lose my power, but occasionally gave it some .

I acted as though I was about to lose my will .

So that it would become more anxious and make a stronger connection with me for the sake of getting more information out of me .

I felt like a fish that had caught the fisherman .

 

At the same time, I had to hide my intentions deep in my consciousness so that the source wouldn’t notice them .

Thanks to the gods who read my consciousness all the time, I was able to fool the source without any difficulty because I had become proficient .

 

After a long time of pushing forward and pulling back, I was able to look deeply into the consciousness of the source .

Memories of the origin of human days started pouring into my mind .

Such information was like a part of a novel, regarded only as text .

The source did not seem to regard itself as a human being .

 

Next, I could sense the emotions of the source .

There was no such thing as a stable future for it, even with this ability, all that existed in it was endless greed .

 

It had both high intelligence and human memories, but it showed behavior similar to the other sources because of its uncontrollable greed .

I could perceive its principles coinciding with all the other sources I had seen .

 

Satisfied with the constant stream of information, the source cut off the link at once .

I was confused, but soon I could see what had happened .

Just as I had gotten insight about the source, the source had grasped the thoughts that had been hidden deep in my consciousness in the midst of engulfing my power .

 

The source started to fly up quickly, screaming .

Was it planning to run away?

 

Interesting .

I thought, looking at the back of the escaping source .

Even after being eaten up by greed, there remained a minimal instinct in it for survival .

Was its life that important?

Its struggles seemed meaningless to me .

 

The source was running away at a rapid pace, but it was already too late .

If there was a tempting prey, that too, easily obtainable, any hunter smart enough would have doubted it .

And hunters who aren’t alert were usually bitten to death by the prey .

 

“Ahbooboo . ”

 

When I opened my palm and called Ahbooboo, he flew to my hand .

Usually, the sword was not much because of Ahbooboo’s excessive performance, but it had become a useful weapon more than anything else especially when mana flow was irregular .

 

[God of Light is excited!]

 

[God of Light encourages everyone to watch together . ]

 

The enthusiastic response of the God of Light was interesting .

Smiling at the response, I prepared myself .

 

I think the first time I used this art was on the 35th floor .

It hadn’t been used a lot since then .

I usually preferred to use explosions .

 

I asked Ahbbooboo if he was ready .

After setting a right time, I used Light Sword: Pierce, at the source flying up there .

 

“Pierce through . ”

 

A thin line of light stretched out with a roaring sound, tearing the atmosphere, and the force of its launch pushed the surrounding clouds far beyond the horizon .

The streams of light, brightening the cloudless night sky like day, were penetrating through the source .

 

From far away, its screams could be heard .

This art had the power to pierce anything, but this was the reason why it was not used often .

The limited range of attack had reduced the ability to kill .

So I had to use one more attack .

 

“Explosive . Zit Pop . ”

 

The straight series of light began to vibrate .

The vibrations were strong, even for me .

 

I quickly drew mana and used my skills to prepare for impact .

Even the fist-sized Zit Pop had the power to turn the surrounding area into a mud slush .

The power of the Zit Pop, which used these long streaks of light across the sky as its main form, was hard to measure .

 

I was driving myself to the brink of death, but I was still excited by the power of the Zit Pop .

I prepared my defense with anticipation, and at the moment of getting struck by the impact of the Zit Pop, I was cheering in my heart .

 

[God of Light cheers]

 

The ray of light, which had been thin, expanded greatly to fill the sky .

It was as if a new sun had risen in the sky .

The pressure created by the explosion was immense .

 

That’s when a huge tear appeared in the space .

It was torn apart and transcendent power came out of it .

It was an astounding sight .

 

[The planet has been vaccinated . ]

 

[Tutorial: Hell Difficulty, you cleared the 57th-floor . ]

 

[God of Light screams]

 

[Voting begins]

 

[For: 1 Against: 98]

 

[The proposal has been voted down . ]

 

[The God of Light asks for a vote again . ]

 

[The God of Sky refuses someone . ]

 

[The God of Chaos mocks someone . ]

 

[The God of Life is annoyed with someone . ]

 

[The God of Light is upset . ]

 

* * * * * *

 

[It has been confirmed that a new source was created by the phenomenon that occurred on the planet Aharabi . As a researcher, you have succeeded in investigating the world and anomalies of the planet Aharabi, witnessing the creation of the source, and suppressing it .

 

[You’ve cleared the 57th floor of Hell’s Difficulty Level . ]

 

[All situational anomalies and injuries will be recovered . ]

 

[Automatically moved to the waiting room . ]

 

The next moment, I stood inside the dragon’s cave, where I could hear the sound of the waterfall .

The neat interior in the cave made me feel worse .

 

This was my second time being in this newly-decorated cave .

The most important and exciting moment was when the stage got cleared .

It was only recently when I realized how good it was to be able to decide when to voluntarily leave the stage through the portals .

 

[God of Light agrees . ]

 

The God of Light seems to have gotten carried away by several gods, but I don’t know if it’s okay .

I’ve heard that nothing is more useless than worrying about others, but I was still worried about a **** .

It was such a stupid idea .

 

[You aren’t dead?]

 

After a long time, the dragon’s voice came out through the crystal ball .

 

“Yes . I’m still alive, you **** lizard . ”

 

It dares to ask such a question!

God **** it .

 

It’s good that I’m still alive .

 

“You’re the one who’s supposed to pick the right stage, and you’re sending me to a stage where death is the final condition? Huh? Do I look like a pushover to you? Aren’t you being too gutsy?”

 

I vented my irritation on the dragon .

Damn it . Why was it hiding behind this crystal ball?

 

[Oh . Didn’t you want to go to a stage where you could learn about the source? And even if you died once, you had a chance to become a soul, get resuscitated when you cleared the stage . Besides, you didn’t even die . ]

 

When the dragon put forward a reasonable fact, I had nothing to say .

 

[And I thought this stage would have been very helpful to you . ]

 

“Well … yeah . I admit that’s true . ”

 

I acknowledged the dragon and sat on a chair .

After releasing a deep sigh, I felt more tired .

 

[Why are you so down?]

 

What do you mean?

The stage ended in the middle of the explosion .

Explosions were not the only wonderful point .

The light that spread as the shock of the explosion went everywhere, the sound of the blast, and the… Anyway, the aftereffect was important .

 

[God of Light nods his head fervently . ]

 

* * * * * *

 

After feeling reenergized, I started talking with the dragon again .

The dragon was a little offended by what I had said before .

It was only after I took some time to cheer up the dragon that I could mention what I wanted to talk about .

 

Naturally, I wanted to ask the dragon about the source .

The source was similar to the divine power .

There was even a rumor that the source was a great help in gaining power, so all the more reason to delve into this matter .

While talking about this and that, I heard an amazing story from the dragon .

 

“Is there a **** who has divine power along with their powers obtained by faith?”

 

[Yes . ]

 

It was a shocking fact .

There was a **** who had not just destroyed the source and absorbed the power but also gained his own power through faith .

 

I recollected the names of the gods I knew .

Who could that **** possibly be?

There was a **** who fit this category more than anyone else .

 

“God of adventure?”
