Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The sun was setting gradually.
The aroma of roasted fish permeated the air around the bank of the lake.
A few golden griffin knights pulled out the drowning big white deer from the lake.
When they returned to the shop, it was very late.
…
Mercenaries such as Big Sword Crete were enjoying the attention from the city’s aristocrats and the civilians. “Crete! Can you tell us where the talking deer came from?”
“Crete! How come there were so many elves a moment ago?!”
“I heard some servants talking about something named ‘The Avengers’ and a battle against an evil god?! My goodness! Are they gathering together to deal with an evil god?” Some noble ladies who liked reading fantasy novels about knights sent servants to ask about the movie.
Obviously, the outing of the large group of elves and orcs with the ‘talking big white deer’ caused a great disturbance in the whole city.
In this empire, people could also do other stuff besides learning combat techniques or practicing magic spells. The members with moderate talents in the big families would be sent to learn how to manage the family business.
These types of fantasy stories circulating in the Nora Continent were quite popular among aristocrats, including the noble ladies who were just mentioned.
Of course, the people who were most eager about it were the peace-loving elves.
“Oh right. Can you tell us about… um… The Avengers that you were talking about?” The orcs asked while they walked back to their inn.
“That’s a trailer of a new movie in the shop,” The elves happily introduced the orcs to the movie. “It’s a story about an extremely horrifying evil god trying to rule humans…”
…
– On the other side –
“Mr. Adolf, do you think that there’s really an evil god who is trying to rule the humans in ‘The Avengers’?” Dwarf Elder Sauk asked while they walked to a street in the distance.
“I heard from the elves who have watched the trailer that the evil god is extremely scary. I think that the elves would never lie!” Adolf said gravely.
“Oh… Then, it will be a horror movie…” The dwarf elder sighed.
“It’s said that people can feel the great power of that… evil god by watching the trailer, and it’s a level of power that we can never withstand!”
Bam! Bam! Bam!
It was midnight, and Elder Sewell was still awake when she heard someone knocking on her door.
“Elder, are you asleep?!” Outside the door, Elf Girl Sala asked in a low voice, “May I enter?”
“Come in.”
A small head poked in.
“Elder… I can’t sleep…
“Do you think there is really such an evil god… that would turn us to ashes with one wave of his hand?” After all, in the legends, such existences were all powerful and capable of many great deeds.
…
– The morning of the next day –
Today was the day that ‘The Avengers’ would be released.
Shakily, the elves, dwarves, and orcs sat before their computers with curiosity for the unknown.
“Are we really going to watch this extremely scary horror movie?!” an orc asked with a shiver.
“We orcs are the bravest beings!” another orc said shakily, “If the elves dare to watch it, why can’t we?!”
“I heard that the cute little white deer of the Demon Clan is also brave enough to watch it!” another orc said loudly.
“We brave orcs surely… are not frightened!”
They all activated the movie and began to watch ‘The Avengers’ which seemed to be a ‘super horror movie’.
After hearing the exaggerated descriptions from the elves, they had to encourage themselves for the movie.
Meanwhile, others such as Dwarf Elder Sauk and Elf Elder Sewell had also begun watching the movie.
In fact, many elves even boarded Mr. Fang’s tour bus.
“So many people… we should be fine… right?” Some elves were still uneasy. “We elves are the bravest beings and are not afraid of this evil god!”
“Ha-! Ya-!” Sala and other elf girls dashed onto Mr. Fang’s tour bus with battle shouts as if they were trying to say, “We elves are fearless!”
Some customers from the old shops were also on Mr. Fang’s tour bus, including Su Tianji, members of the Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild, and students of Heavenly Academy.
Although they had seen these elves and orcs yesterday, they still stared at the latter in amazement.
Seeing the elves who had pointy ears and orcs who had lion heads or tiger heads, Demonic Woman Ning Bi suddenly felt like she looked quite normal compared with these people.
Soon, the movie began.
“The Tesseract has awakened…” Before the viewers was a mass of icy-blue flames wrapped by a square crystal cube. Even though they were looking at it from the side, the viewers vaguely felt the deep and horrifying energy inside it.
The gloomy and evil voice slowly sounded from the darkness, “A human world. They would wield its power… but our ally knows its workings as they never will.”
“He is ready to lead… And our force, our Chitauri, will follow.” In the gloomy dark space, countless weirdly-dressed gloomy monster soldiers put on their armor while the deep voice continued, “The world will be his. The universe yours.”
“And the humans, what can they do but burn?”
“Ya-!” The elves let out a series of screams, “Are they all evil gods?!”
“There’re more than one-!”
According to legends that were passed down from ancient times, they could do nothing but wait for their death if such an evil god decided to attack them!
“The humans here are not powerful at all!” Sala said, “Look at their commander! He doesn’t even have the presence of a level 1 warrior! He’s just an ordinary person!”
“They are finished! This will be a horrifying catastrophe of the biggest scale!”
“Do you think the humans on this ‘Earth’ will be wiped out?” one elf asked.
It was scary even just thinking about it!
The system version of the movie didn’t only make viewers feel like they were in the world. Furthermore, the great power of the characters would be showcased in many ways, including the god-like presences, glances, and the horrifyingly huge force which could destroy all viewers with only a tiny part of it.
Apart from all these, the most horrifying was the ability of easily controlling people’s minds at will. Just imagine how horrifying it would be if your body and mind no longer belong to you!
“Wu… I don’t want to watch it…” Rowling, the elf girl standing beside Sala, almost wept.
The other elves were not faring any better. Their screams resonated in the tour group, and some elf girls even huddled together.
