Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 246

Chapter 246: The Efficient False Dome Cult…
Luche suddenly smirked while looking at Jareth and Zion and said,

“Well, since you have brought out your most powerful weapon, I shouldn’t bother you for now…”

With that said, she brought out a teleportation scroll and used it to leave immediately.

“She’s quite fast at running away…”

Hearing Jareth’s remark, Zion sighed loudly and nodded his head.

“Yeah, whenever I try to finally finish her, she runs away… I haven’t been able to kill her for the past few millennia…”

“She might be a little bit weaker than me but she’s the best in the world when it comes to running away…”

Even Jareth couldn’t help but acknowledge Zion’s words.

In the game, Luche is the type of boss character that you can encounter at random throughout the game progress.

She has her own set arena too, but she’s one of the few bosses in the game that can be encountered outside of her set boss arena.

Moreover, she’s the most annoying boss to fight.

If you somehow manage to reduce her health below 50%, she will immediately run away and disappear.

Then you will keep encountering her more frequently on several occasions at random places until you finally go to her boss arena to defeat her once and for all.

She’s extremely persistent; even if she loses one battle, she will come back again on a later date.

‘Phew, it’s finally over…’

It’s been less than a week or so since Jareth came to the Elven Empire, and he’s already been involved in so many troubles that even he’s feeling a bit tired of it all now.

In just today alone, he has already fought quite a few grade-1 opponents.

‘Even though I went through all this trouble, I still got nothing in return… sigh..’

The real reason why Jareth even came here was to protect the golden nail, but now that this golden nail has also been broken, his mission has failed.

‘It’s almost as if… something is interfering with me and purposely making me fail my missions at the very last moment…’

‘The story of this world is already going haywire and there’s no fixing it anymore…’

Jareth glanced at Zion at this moment and found the other party was also looking at him vigilantly.

Although Jareth also wanted to fight Zion right now to get the second piece of that artificial sun that he had lost before, he knew that he currently has no effective methods to block Zion’s blade of salvation.

If Zion used ‘Astra’ on him, then Jareth will not be able to defend himself even if he uses a 500-times enhancement card.

The holy blade ‘Astra’ has the ability to purify any and every being in the world.

Jareth himself has taken over the body of another person, and he’s not sure if his soul will get annihilated if he gets hit by that sword.

This body might belong to this world, but the soul residing inside doesn’t, which means that the sword of salvation might see his soul as an ‘Impurity’ to this ‘World’.

If Zion found out about this, he would have a massive advantage over Jareth and would be able to defeat Jareth much more easily.

‘I need to find artifacts that can counter Zion and Luche’s trump cards… before that, it’s better to avoid a battle with them…’

“I have fought enough opponents today; how about we fight some other day to settle the score?”

Hearing Jareth’s words, Zion nodded his head.

Even Zion wasn’t sure that he could win against Jareth in a head-on battle, and he still doesn’t know what kind of power Jareth used to boost his attacks.

Thus, he was also hesitating to fight right now.

As both of them weren’t ready to fight, they both decided to back off at this moment.

“Okay then, let’s postpone our duel to some other day… But you must leave the elven empire soon, Jareth Ayad…”

“Elves are under my protection, Now that I am here, I will stay here and protect them for the time being, so you should go back to your human empire…”

Zion’s own mother was an elf, and he has been recognized as a national hero by the elven race, so it’s not surprising that he has decided to stay in the elven empire now.

The elven empire is in great turmoil right now, and it needs strong support.

Jareth may be strong, but he has no connection to the elves, and he only came here for his own personal reasons; he has no interest in actively caring for the elves.

Zion, on the other hand, is more suited for this task.

“Well, I came here because I wanted a leaf of the world tree for my research but seeing the situation here, I couldn’t sit still…”

“Now that you are here, I will leave the rest to you… I will leave with my students after a few days…”

The last world tree sapling has likely been destroyed in this turmoil, and there’s no way to get a leaf of the world tree so easily now.

Jareth has already scanned the entire forbidden area and the elven capital with his mana detection.

Yet, he didn’t find the presence of a single world tree sapling at all.

‘The elves have lost their legacy, I guess… they really are a miserable race, sigh…’

According to the game lore, the elves have been trying to grow a world tree for several millennia, but all their attempts have ended in failure.

Now that the last sapling has also been lost, it’s likely that they can never grow the world tree anymore.

Without the world tree, elves as a race will keep declining even more, and the last option they will have will be to open their trade routes to the human empire.

Or perhaps they might even end up becoming a vassal state of the human empire.

All in all, the future of the elven race seems very bleak.

‘Well, thinking about the fact that this world itself might end up destroyed in a year or two, it doesn’t really make sense to worry about these smaller problems…’

If the entire planet is going to get destroyed soon anyway, all the other problems are just child’s play in front of this big trouble.

“By the way, do you know anything about the hideout of the ‘False Dome Cult’?… those guys have been destroying the golden nails here and there…”

“This is putting the entire world in danger…”

Zion shook his head at that question.

“This is my first time even hearing their name, I wasn’t even on this planet up until recently, actually…”

“I have no idea about what’s going on in the current world… if not for Konda’s absence, I wouldn’t even have come back here…”

Jareth nodded his head.

“Well, I guess dealing with Konda did create a lot of change in the world…”

Hearing Jareth’s words, Zion’s eyes widened in shock.

“Wha-what!? What do you mean you dealt with Konda!?”

At that moment, Jareth remembered that he hadn’t told Zion that the person who killed Konda was none other than him.

“Ah, well, I used a clever trick to kill him… there’s no more Konda ‘The Terror’ in this world anymore…”

Zion mouth opened so wide that it seemed like his jaw would fall to the ground at any moment.

“Th-this… this is unbelievable!”

Jareth shook his head at those words.

“Well, just watch some news or videos on the internet if you think I am lying… there are already so many people talking about it on the internet…”

“Ah, wait… don’t tell me you don’t even know what ‘Internet’…”

Hearing those words, Zion scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

“Er… I really don’t know about it, actually…”

“But it’s really a surprise that someone capable of killing that incarnation of terror is present in this world…”

“The human race really is blessed with immense fortune… whenever there’s some difficulty, a new ‘Hero’ is born to save the day…”

Jareth waved his hand at those remarks.

“No way, I am no hero at all… that title doesn’t suit me in the slightest; I just dealt with that dragon because it came running at me for no reason…”

“In fact, if not for the minions of the false dome cult, that bone dragon wouldn’t have even been able to come out of its seal…”

“If you find anything about these chaotic people, make sure to inform me…”

Zion nodded his head at those words.

“I will… these people are the common enemy of the entire world; they are doing immense harm to the common folks…”

“If not for the fact that we were able to somehow deal with today’s catastrophe, these people really would have succeeded in destroying this world easily…”

Even though Jareth doesn’t like the False Dome cult one bit.

He has to acknowledge that they are extremely efficient in their work.

If not for the fact that Jareth stopped the incarnation of the demon god, killed Konda and closed the spatial rift, any of these three methods would have been enough to destroy the world.

Each method was more fatal than the other.
