"So much for being honorable," I shook my head as I added points in Strength again. At the very least, I got to know that he won't be moving out of the north-west and joining in stopping me when I will be editing the summoning array.
"Now let's check out the summoner," I mumbled as I moved towards the south-east.
And the result was…
"It's fun. Don't you think so too?" was the answer I got from him.
Well, at least I won't feel bad about killing him.
[Mana Surge!] [Frenzy!] [Super Strength!] [Battle Zone!] [Mana Zone!] [Dark Fire of Hell!] [Hell's Flower!] [One Way Out!] [Light Ball!] [Light Shield!] [Sword of Light!] [Light coating!] [Blind!] [Holy Envision!] [Protection of Light!] [Light Magician's Mana Zone!]
And pretty easily… I killed him in one go! Upgrading most of my skills to [Advanced] at once.
[Level: 20(1,637,535/2,500,000 Exp)]
With this done, I also regenerated all my MP because of the level ups. Pretty convenient, if you ask me.
[Frenzy!]
And with that, let's move out of here and to the south-west. I wonder who is the General there…
"Hmmm. Who are you?" he asked as he observed me, his eyes narrowed with a rather conspicuous look. And I had a rather shocked expression on my face… after all, the person managing things here…
'Amir?' I was flabbergasted to be fair.
It wasn't that he was present here. I already knew that… just that… the previous quest asked me to kill the 4 Generals. To kill a God? Even if it is a clone, it's too much…
"No fucking wonder it was impossible before…" I sighed as I wondered what I was even trying to do here.
"I asked. Who are you?" Amir asked as he didn't like me ignoring him. Walking one step at a time, he looked at me with a rather irked out expression. An anomaly in his plans perhaps makes him feel anxious?
"I guess it's going to take more than a couple of runs," I mumbled as I wondered how I was going to change the summoning circle simultaneously, also not dying from Amir's wrath afterwards. Though I already had an idea regarding that…

Now that north-west, south-west and south-east are done, I wonder what is there in the north-east. Since Ameliana was chanting the whole time, there has to be someone else there, isn't there?
And to my surprise, it was a familiar face.
"Rivas. I didn't think you would be involved in this," I spoke with my gaze narrowed as I observed him. His eyes looked at me with a small smile,
"My friends are the only ones I have spared, Adam. I don't know who you are and what your purpose is… but I can't let you get in the way of the Mayor's plans. I apologize."
Such a pure soul.
"But you will die if I die," I smiled as I observed him. What will he do now in this complex situation?
"I will just have to bind you then," he answered as he looked at me, readying his weapon against me. But I had no plans to fight him right now.

"Now that we are clear with this, let's go to the circle," I stretched a little before I ran towards the summoning circle. While it would have been easier to just render it useless, the addition of Amir made things quite difficult.
[One Way Out!]
'I would needlessly die if I were to simply complete the quest,' I sighed as I reached the circle within a few seconds. My eyes scanned the circle from a high position as I looked at it from one aspect.
"This is a bit complicated," I sighed as I analyzed it for over a minute. And after a minute passed,
"Who might you be?" The old lady who guarded the circle looked at me with a cautious expression, her eyes trying to see through me.

"If I were to add something there…"
"Who might you be?"

"Okay, that might work, but I will need at least an hour to change that… is there any other way?"
"Who might you be?"

"Hmmm… destroying that won't be enough… what if I… nah! That won't be enough either…"
"Who might you be?"

And after an unknown amount of reloading, I finally figured out a way to make things work as soon as possible. Though it wasn't really an ideal method, with some hit and trial, it should work.
"Who might you be?" Once again, the old lady appeared behind me. But ignoring her, I jumped near the circle in an instant.
"It should be somewhere around here," I looked at the weak point and…
-BOOOM!!!
Applied Light Magic to it.
[You Are Dead!]
[Game Over!]

Once again, I ran towards the circle… and once again…
-BOOM!
[You Are Dead!]
This time, the death was from decay.
But that didn't stop me…
[You Are Dead!]
Death by fire.
[You Are Dead!]
Death by suffocation.
[You Are Dead!]
Death by lightning.
[You Are Dead!]
Death by starvation.
[You Are Dead!]
Once again, an explosion!
[You Are Dead!]
[You Are Dead!]
[You Are Dead!]
[You Are Dead!]

And after God knows how many times I died…
[Quest Shadows(III) Complete!]
"Ah! I broke it…" I didn't plan to break it, but it seems like I did it anyway…
"YOU INSECT!!!'
And of course Amir came running towards me like a raging bull…
[You Are Dead!]
Once again, I ran towards the circle and began my hit and trial method. Took about another dozen deaths, but I found the point that I was searching for…
As soon as I hit the weak point, the two points of mana separated into the circle, rendering it unable to match together. Now, all I need to do is rebind them after doing some minor additions to them.
Breaking the circle was like bypassing the security system. Once you can do that, you can pretty much change the program as much as you want. Though many times the arrays have a multilayer protection.
I tried touching the threads of mana that were separated but…
[Only a Dark Mage is allowed to change the array!]
