Gods' Impact Online-Chapter 349 347- An Unexpected Reward

"All these rewards mean nothing to me. Especially the weapons and the armor. I don't need any of them. Yeah, the coins, runes, and the powders are indeed helpful, but I earn a lot from selling the potions, and I get free powders for materials used to create the MP potions bottle.

And… the runes are used to buy items… in other words, weapons and stuff which, again, I don't need," he muttered.

However, the rewards were extremely useful for the other players as they could help them increase their stats by using the weapons and wearing the armors. Coins were also valuable for everyone. And the players could sell or exchange powders and runes for an item or coins.

"I was here for the EXP, and I am satisfied with it…" Zach stopped and sighed after looking at his level.

Level 99.

"One level…"

Still, Zach leveled up by 16 in one day, which was a significant achievement considering how hard it was to level up on the high realms as the EXP capacity increased tremendously according to the player's level.

"Hmm…?" Zach noticed he had also gained something else as a reward. "What is it?"

[Item- ????]

'I got a similar reward upon clearing a quest a way back. If I remember correctly, it was a reward for cultivating 5000 MP.'

"But what are they…?"

Zach merged the two '????' rewards together, and they formed a puzzle piece that required two more '????' to finish it.

"There is no information provided regarding what it is. Not even a name…" Zach furrowed his brows and muttered, "This better be something good, or I am going to be so pissed that whichever god is responsible for these rewards will receive a reward from me too— which is the cruelest death!" 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

Zach Phoenix's form suddenly deactivated, and he landed on the ground but later dropped to his knees and coughed out blood.

"I guess I reached my limit…" He dropped to the ground and uttered, "Cerberus. I leave the rest to you."

Cerberus came out of Zach's shadow in the puppy form and placed his head on Zach's hand.

Zach released all the remaining MP into Cerberus and healed him to the max before passing out.

[My liege…] Cerberus lowered his head and muttered, [Why must you do everything alone. I know it's not that you don't trust your subordinates or your lovers, but doing everything and taking the responsibility is an act of sheer folly.]

Cerberus grabbed Zach by his clothes and tossed him in the air using his fangs. His body landed on top of Cerberus.

[What am I going to say to Lady Aria…?]

Cerberus walked out of the portal and left the dungeon.

[...]

Outside, it was late noon, and no one was around.

[I can reach the portal, but how can I pass through it? Of course, I can! If those lowly servants managed to descend to the lower realms to clear the dungeon, why can't I, the best servant of the universe, pass through it!]

Even though Cerberus had a near-death experience while fighting Zach's demon form, his attitude remained unfazed.

After that, Cerberus ran his way to the portal and descended a few realms, but he messed up and went all the way to the beginner's realm, where 30% of the players were still living.

The portal of the beginner's realm was in an open garden of the capital, and it was filled with players.

When Cerberus descended there, it caused a huge uproar.

'A monster has spawned!' That was what every player yelled.

Most of them ran away in fear, while some of them tried to fight back after seeing Zach on top of him. They thought Cerberus had attacked Zach and would eat him even though the reality was something else.

However, they had no way of knowing that.

Some of the players called for a backup, and they formed an army to fight Cerberus, but Cerberus quietly passed through the portal and ascended to the correct floor, leaving all the players dumbfounded and clueless.

[Seriously, who do humans always choose violence? I didn't even do anything. I was as surprised as they were. But I attack no one. Yet, they all came with weapons in their hands as though I was some kind of monster— oh! I am a monster, aren't I?]

[Hmph! How dare they compare me to the other weak monsters. I am the strongest monster in the universe. Even the soul eater is nothing compared to me. I am the mighty Cerberus, the only one who is worthy of being my liege's number one and his favorite monster!]

Cerberus hastily made his way to the church.

Aria, Victoria, Ninia, Noah, and Elina were preparing for the summit and had created a stage and a throne for Zach to sit on.

They all thought that Zach was with Aurora, while Aurora thought he had gone back to the girls.

When Cerberus arrived there with unconscious Zach on top of him, they were baffled. They had no idea what had happened, and the only thing they could do was panic.

Cerberus told them everything, and Aria snapped at him for allowing Zach to do something so reckless.

Aria then recalled how Zach had changed the schedule of the summit from morning to evening because he was planning something else. She also blamed herself for not realizing it sooner.

They took Zach inside and placed him on the bed so he could rest.

"What should we do? Should we cancel the summit?" Victoria asked Ninia and Aria.

"I…" Ninia was the one looking forward the most for the summit as her Lord was going to gain more followers.

"Screw all that!" Aria yelled. "We have to see what's wrong with him and heal him in the fastest way possible! Ninia, you should know what's wrong with him, right?!"

Ninia shook her head and said, "I already checked, and nothing seems wrong. As Cerberus said, this is the side effects of using the blessings… no, they are not blessings. They are curses!"

"...."

"Blessings don't have side effects, and they never cause pain! They all have cursed him!"

"Calm down, Ninia."

"How am I supposed to calm down when—" She stopped when she recognized the voice.

It was Zach.

"Can't I even nap in peace?" he chuckled softly.
