Just as the gaze of the enormous figure on the light screen shifted their way, the two horses pulling the cart let out a series of neighs before collapsing helplessly to the ground, no longer responding to Peters’s tugging in the slightest.
Peters’s entire body trembled.
Cold sweat broke out all over his body.
He gripped his short sword tightly.
His heavy breathing couldn’t be adjusted, and as Peters lifted his head to gaze at the giant figure behind him, merely catching sight of it out of the corner of his eye left his throat so dry he could not utter a word.
He wanted to warn Jason inside the carriage to be careful.
Even under this strike, he would not die.
But the subsequent attacks?
After the satiety provided by the just ingested larval stage “Nightmare Worm” was depleted, he would die all the same.
To die once or several times.
If there was a choice, Jason would naturally choose…
Isn’t it good to be alive?
But sometimes, you really have no control over it.
Staring at the huge figure on the screen, Jason took a deep breath, and his voice sounded from behind the mask—
“Do you, want some candy?”
As he said these words, Jason was recalling the Morson Circus in his mind, recalling that little girl, recalling that magnificent, vast, indescribable reflection.
Then, the meaning of the sound began to echo in his ears.
The intense tinnitus appeared once again.
Blood continuously gushed from his nostrils, corners of his eyes, and ears.
Jason clenched his teeth, enduring the tremors in his body, refusing to cry out from the excruciating pain of his brain boiling.
He lifted his right hand laboriously and gave the giant figure on the screen the middle finger.
The giant figure that received Jason’s middle finger gesture did not react at all.
The fist that was smashing down froze mid-air.
The giant body began to tremble.
Then, in a breath’s time, the giant figure rapidly shrank and disappeared, and with it, the entire screen dissipated.
The pressure was gone.
Jason, who had been resurrected from death, stood there gasping for air.
There were many ways to die.
But the way he had just died was definitely one of the most painful ways Jason knew of.
Especially at this moment, more uncomprehensible, unstructured fragments of knowledge were tumbling in his mind, causing Jason intense headaches, forcing him to lean on the carriage to rest.
Then, when the headache temporarily subsided, a thought couldn’t help but arise from the bottom of Jason’s heart: If he continued a few more times, would that magnificent, vast, indescribable reflection “take special notice” of him?
It probably would, right?
Jason wasn’t too sure.
Because he was certain that he could not guess the thoughts of that magnificent, vast, indescribable reflection with his own ideas.
However, there was one thing Jason could be certain of.
If it happened several more times, he would definitely be driven mad by those incomprehensible pieces of knowledge.
Was it possible to organize and categorize this knowledge into something he could understand?
However, Jason, who was only temporarily relieved of his headache, felt pain surge in his head again as he began to ponder.
Jason instinctively took a breath.
In order to alleviate such pain, Jason decided to divert his attention.
And what could be better than food?
Right by the roadside, Jason set up a pot, and a whole block of fat was melted inside it. When the oil began to sizzle, Jason carefully placed the only remaining larval stage “Nightmare Worm,” which had already been prepared, into the pot.
In the pleasant sound, the “Nightmare Worm” quickly turned golden red.
The mix of oil and meaty aroma went straight up Jason’s nose.
After fishing out the thoroughly fried “Nightmare Worm,” Jason robustly sprinkled cumin and chili on it, disregarding the temperature, and bit into it.
The crisp sound was ceaseless. Compared to eating it raw, the “Nightmare Worm” was now crispy on the outside and soft inside, mixed with a hint of sweet juice, almost like a wafer with cream.
Uh, an enhanced version of ‘Crunchy Shark.’
[Consumed Nightmare Worm (Larval Stage)]
[Physical strength and energy moderately restored!]
“The increase in satiety is the same as when eaten raw,”
“So cooking it doesn’t affect the satiety?”
