Gamers of the Underworld

Chapter 203: The Power of Sacred Light

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sherlock arranged for Beast to stay in an empty cave, then he assigned the gamers to build a house for him.

The Sacred Light Worshiping Chapel would be built later. It was mentioned to give the gamers an idea. It would depend on Sherlock as to when the chapel was built.

While Sherlock was making the arrangements, Bru was speaking excitedly in Sherlock’s mind, but Sherlock ignored him. When Sherlock returned to the Dungeon Core Main Hall, Bru said, “Lord Sherlock, this is too dangerous. Why did you open up the Grand Priest profession? If the Power of Sacred Light is discovered by the other Dungeons, they’ll use it as a reason to revoke your Devil’s status.”

Sherlock sat down and said, “I’m not the one using the Power of Sacred Light, why do they want to revoke my Devil’s status? There will be 10,000 gamers during the Third Beta Testing. If all of them use Mana for combat, won’t I be exhausted? Isn’t it better to let some gamers use the Power of Sacred Light?”

“This sounds reasonable, but using Sacred Light in the Underworld is prohibited.”

“It’s the same principle as humans being tempted by Devils and selling their souls. I’m merely letting them use the Power of the Holy Lord or the Power of Sacred Light. They don’t have to sell their souls. They’ll pray together with Beast and make confessions to the Lord and Angels. I feel that it’s pretty good.”

Sherlock said, “This will enrich the gameplay, and I’m able to add a profession without spending money. Didn’t the gamers complain of being sick of Magicians, Warriors, and Archers on the forum? Being a Grand Priest is pretty good.”

“Tsk, you don’t look like a Devil, but after pondering, you’re such a Devil,” Bru said thoughtfully.

“What is Lord Sherlock’s plan for developing the Grand Priest profession? Do you want to make an announcement on the official website?”

“That is a definite. As for the development of the Grand Priest...”

Sherlock said, “I’ll have to find a few laboratory rats. We’ll see.”

...

Beast was bewildered as he sat in the cave.

A few days ago, he was still in Winterfell, awaiting the arrangements of his father-in-law. Today, he was in Winterfell and chatted with Lord Sherlock, after which, he was arranged to stay in an empty cave. Sherlock even said, “Are you a Grand Priest? Are you interested in developing the Power of Sacred Light in my Dungeon?”

What was that? A Devil asking him to develop Sacred Light in his Dungeon?

It was like hearing that Sherlock intended to kill himself.

That was Sacred Light!

If he spread the Gospel of Sacred Light, would other creatures agree?

When Beast was doubting whether Sherlock was fooling him, numerous Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men with green words above their heads stood outside the cave. They were looking at him as though he was an animal in the zoo.

Beast didn’t feel that he was a caged animal in the zoo, he was just troubled whether Sherlock was fooling him.

The group of creatures quickly dispersed, shouting as they left.

“Gosh! Only a hundred places for the first batch?”

“Let’s excavate quickly!”

“Don’t compete with me! I’ll take over the project for that space! I’ll kill whoever competes with me!”

Half of the creatures ran off, though a few Goblin stood like fools while gaping at Beast.

Beast didn’t like to be watched. There were many of them before, so he had kept quiet, but now, there were only a few of them. As an Orc, he stood up and walked over.

“Roar—!”

Beast roared at the Goblins, thinking his roar was rather imposing and could intimidate them.

The Goblins were taken aback by the roar and started talking.

“Gosh, it gave me a fright. Why is the NPC scaring us?”

“Let’s go, there’s no more Plot Animation, I guess.”

After being scared by Beast, the last few Goblins ran off.

What were the Goblins going to do? Of course, they were going to excavate diligently.

Though Sherlock wanted the gamers to know about the Power of Sacred Light, it was impossible to spread the Gospel within this short period of time. The requirement was devoutness. Since their souls were left back in the otherworld, when they prayed for the Power of Sacred Light, it was a question mark whether there would be any responses.

Sherlock would create a mission to let the gamers do construction enthusiastically. With the current size of the Dungeon, accommodating 10,000 gamers was impossible. If the basic facilities weren’t constructed, there would be no Third Beta Testing.

Sherlock wasn’t in a hurry. Bru was still assimilating the Winterfell Dungeon Core and refining the assistive system like maps and the assistive combat system. They would only be completed after a month.

The gamers’ mission was:

[Mission Title: The Power of Sacred Light. Preface.

Mission Description: Eternal Kingdom received a guest from Winterfell. He is different from other Underworld creatures as he possesses the unusual Power of Sacred Light. Though the power can be uncontrollable and cause irreversible effects, the threat of the Void Legion is growing by the day. Lord Sherlock decided to risk accepting this power to save the Underworld.

Warriors, it is time to accept the challenge! Are you prepared to receive the Power of Sacred Light?

Mission Objective: Every day, a tally will be taken for construction-related missions. The gamers with the most construction-related missions will receive the “Power of Sacred Light” mission.

After a month, the 100 gamers with the most construction-related missions will also receive the “Power of Sacred Light” mission.]

[Mission Title: The Power of Sacred Light.

Mission Description: This is a power from the Holy Lord, which is different from the Devil’s power. You are required to have a faithful and devout heart to be enlightened with the Power of Sacred Light. The power intensity is dependent on your spiritual quality and devoutness. After obtaining the Power of Sacred Light, you will be unable to use the Devil’s power and Mana.

Mission Requirement: Only the top daily construction gamer and 100 top monthly gamers will receive this mission.

Mission Reward: Receive the Power of Sacred Light.]

That was what the gamers would receive for the mission.

Instead of gaping at Beast at the cave entrance and waiting for the impossible Strange Encounter Mission, it was better for the gamers to work hard in the construction missions. It was simpler than fighting monsters.

Soon, the gamers forgot about the Battle Campaign in Winterfell and started carrying bricks diligently. Eternal Kingdom went through a golden period of construction with the help of the passionate gamers.

On the morning of the second day, Beast woke up early. He surveyed the dilapidated surroundings and the dark Dungeon environment outside. He still wasn’t used to the environment.

He stood up, rubbed his face, and wanted to wash up.

He had only walked out of the cave when he saw a Gnome carrying water and food at the entrance.

It was Yoda.

“Are you Senior Beast?”

Yoda walked forward and said, “I’m Yoda! I was once a Winterfell Mana Engineer. You may not have an impression of me, but I always saw you in meetings. You’re the Winterfell Office Supervisor, why are you here in Eternal Kingdom?”

Yoda looked at the puzzled Beast and the food he held in his hands. Then he quickly explained, “I saw you yesterday. As there were too many creatures, I didn’t have a chance to greet you. Then it was too late, so I didn’t disturb you. Since it’s your first time here and you’re not familiar with the environment, I thought I’d bring you around.”

“Thank you...” Beast was grateful, and he asked, “Did Lord Sherlock send you to bring me around?”

“Lord Sherlock? No, I came here on my own. Ha, of course, I have some favors to ask of you. My sons and daughters are of schooling age. Though I can bribe using money to get them into the best schools, with your recommendation, the teachers will be more enthusiastic. Hahaha, I do have my personal motives. Since Winterfell has encountered such a calamity, you’ll be very busy. How’s your work?” Yoda asked with embarrassment.

“Ah... work is pretty good... let me have something to eat,” Beast muttered awkwardly. He was unable to reconcile the fact that he was no longer an office supervisor. He was even feeling sad.

Sherlock had brought along a group of Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men. To be exact, he only brought a Goblin. The rest were just following curiously.

Yoda noticed Sherlock and bowed to Beast before walking towards him.

Beast saw Sherlock talking to Yoda for a while. Then Yoda nodded and left.

Sherlock walked before Beast and pushed a Goblin to the front. Sherlock said to Beast, “This is the most hardworking and devout Goblin. Let him try to see if he can use the Power of Sacred Light.”
