Chapter 444: Chapter 437: Now I Am the Protagonist

The Molding Realm Secret is located in the Bottom City District of Border’s Gate. In the game, you must go through the small road beside Bhaal Temple, but in reality, there are more choices.

At this moment, countless cranium rats are rustling together on the dock leading to the Molding Realm Secret, their scarlet eyes gleaming eerily in the dark. Influenced by the spiritual energy of the Neser Brain, they attack the main group when they approach, only to be wiped out by the Spirit Guard cast by Shadow Heart.

"Once you’ve drawn the bow, there’s no turning back. Once you set foot on this path, you can’t turn back." Leon crossed his arms, "You should be prepared, right?"

"At this point, there’s absolutely no turning back." Evil Thought’s gaze fell on the small boat swaying next to the dock, then he slowly walked to the mooring post, untied the rope fixing the boat, jumped onto the boat first, and picked up the oar to wait for everyone.

"Lord Leon, do you think we can win?" Gael trusted Leon, he felt that Leon was immensely skilled, even as a genius mage he couldn’t see through him... In fact, deep down he trusted the Tomb Guardian more, but the latter wouldn’t go on adventures with them, only staying in the camp.

"We’ll definitely win." Leon said with a smile, "If we can’t win, what about my Karsus Crown and Nether Stone?"

"Gael, what are you worrying about?" Karak boldly patted the Hell Engine on her chest, emitting a humming sound, she was full of confidence, "We have three pieces of Nether Stone, as long as we take out the three Nether Stones to control that Elder Brain, let it remove the Mind Flayer tadpoles from our brains, and then kill it..."

"When it’s all over, when it’s all over," Karak was eagerly speaking, her voice full of anticipation, "I want... I don’t even know what to do besides fighting, maybe I’ll open a bakery, what do you think?"

The sudden thought made her grin widely.

"I’ll definitely visit every day by then." Sharing the experience of being tormented by demons brought Will and Karak particularly close.

"Hehehe, I remember you’re a noble’s son, aren’t you? Why not hire me as a guard?" Karak raised her hand, making a muscle-showing gesture, "Before you hunted me, now I protect you, isn’t it interesting?"

"Your contract with Mizora is finished, she will no longer be your Sect Master, and you can’t gain power from her anymore..." Gotaish is dead, so is the Neser Brain not far off, Karak laughed happily, "Your power will no longer grow, while I’ll keep getting stronger. In the future, I’ll be the Border Blade, Border Blade Karak."

"After the contract ends, I can’t rely on her for power, but I’ll read books, train..." Will’s shoulders slumped as he spoke, "Alright, I have no talent as a mage, without getting power from the Sect Master, it’s hard for me to advance... I should probably develop towards governance."

Karak pointed at Will, saying, "Border’s Gate needs good people like you to lead it."

Karak and Will were beautifully imagining the future, while Leon, undoubtedly a troublemaker, interjected mischievously, "Have you heard? Those who declared, when I finish this war, I’ll go back home and get married, inevitably fall in the subsequent battle, because fate loves to play tricks."

Watching Karak cover her mouth, Leon couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The small boat pierced the darkness, only the quiet and gentle sound of water rhythmically lapping against the rocks was heard as they sailed for ten minutes in the dark, when suddenly a violent psychic wave came from overhead—

"Be careful." Leon warned, but it was too late, mainly because it was too difficult for the small boat to turn.

Sharp stalactites fell like arrows from the sky, instantly piercing the fragile hull.

Everyone fell into the water one after another, struggling to swim towards the shore, which was a smuggling passage used by the Shield Knight Order.

The air was filled with the smell of brine, infused with magical power, the force from the Elder Brain almost causing the main group to kneel, barely standing through resistance.

The boat broke and sank, the water route was difficult, but the land route was also manageable, they moved forward along the land, suddenly a large group of brain-eating monsters and upgraded Intelligence Gluttons, which explode upon death, surged from all directions, but one Fireball Technique was enough to crush a large group.

They proceeded in the direction pointed by the headless corpses to the end. There was only a dead silence here, the air exuding a corrupt and old smell.

"It’s nearby, get the gemstones ready." The Mind Flayer Overlord appeared from the Astral Prism, hovering in the air.

Evil Thought reached into his pocket and pulled out three Nether Stones, merging them into one, suddenly feeling his blood flow slow down, all his senses tightened, as if they could break at any moment.

The ground began to shake violently, the pitch-black pool bubbling as if boiling—

Amidst the huge splash, the Neser Brain, crowned with the Karsus Crown, slowly rose.

The pinkish fibrous mixed brain tissue, its surface covered with squirming tentacles, pulsating like embers, and exuding visible spiritual power flames. Compared to the other Elder Brains that are merely large in size, the Neser Brain is so huge that it can accommodate a young Red Dragon moving across it in the game.

Leon looked up at the Neser Brain, frowning slightly.

He suddenly remembered that in the game, players never rely on their own strength to defeat the Neser Brain. The two ways to overturn it are either relying on the explosion of the Neseriel Destruction Magic Ball within Gael, resulting in mutual destruction, or using the Karsus Enforced Command to control the Neser Brain and command it to kill itself.
