Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 183

Chapter 183: The Abyss Altar… Part-1.
Capital City, National Hero Memorial.

Jareth got out of the car and walked inside without hesitation.

Looking at the familiar place Jareth felt a bit of nostalgia.

‘It’s been less than a year and I am already back here again…’

Last time Jareth came here to steal the chance of the protagonist it hasn’t even been a full year since then.

‘So much has changed in such a small time…’

Last time he came here, he was barely a grade 5 mage and had no power to properly defend himself in situation of immediate danger.

But now he has the confidence to fight even grade-1 opponents head on, the progress was just too fast.

‘If not for mana singularity and the help of the lottery from time to time, i couldn’t have achieved all this…’

Learning mana singularity alone was already a great thing and it alone gave him confidence to deal with most difficulties.

And his constant thirst for power has brought him to this level today.

‘Now that I think about it… If there was no mana singularity i couldn’t have controlled my mana of it was too pure..’

‘And i couldn’t have controlled the flames of destruction either without it…’

‘Instead of using them on others they would have gone out of control and would injured myself instead…’

Although Jareth is quite suspicious about why this system is giving him the exact things that he needs the most at the moment, he has no time to worry about that right now.

Granting mana singularity to others is a near impossible task as you would need to force the law of mana to acknowledge a person.

‘I don’t think even that demon god can pull off such a feature…’

If the demon god was capable of such a feature, then the other party would have used it to cleanse himself of miasma and give itself a pure and un-corrupted body.

Moreover he wouldn’t have needed the help of any minions, he could have just manipulated the mana to kill someone for him.

The demon god hasn’t done something like this and is stuck outside the false some barrier, that means he isn’t omnipotent.

And as the gamer’s from his past life said, ‘if it has a health bar, you can kill it…’

…

Looking at the scenery around him, Jareth could notice the changes that have had been made since he last came.

When the False Done Cult revealed Nathan’s dark history, the angry mob surrounded this place and destroyed Nathan’s statue from here.

The angry mob not only destroyed that one statue but also damaged a lot of property in the place and the government had to spend money to repair all this.

‘Well the government gets its money from the tax payers anyway…’

‘It just means that the people who damaged this place ended up paying for it’s repairs indirectly…’

This is the reason why getting swept by anger is often very harmful to yourself, in the end it causes troubles for yourself not for others.

The memorial damaging incident caused loss for the common people as they had to pay for it indirectly…

But the politicians and officers who were in charge of repairing the memorial profited from it.

They get money for expensive repair materials and then use cheaper material instead then they use the rest of the money for themselves.

In the end, due to corruption, it was the people who suffered the most not anymore else.

‘hmm, they are making a new platform for a statue there?’

Just when Jareth was passing by, he noticed a new platform likely built not too long ago.

‘ugh… Don’t tell me…’

With a complex look on his face Jareth made his way today the newly built platform.

And the moment he saw the words written on it, he knew that his ominous feeling was true.

[A statue in the memory of the legendary battle between ‘The Divine Flame’ Jareth Ayad and the Abysmal bone dragon from the depths of hell…]

Seeing those words Jareth rubbed his temples and sighed.

‘Just a few months ago I was feeling amused while looking at Nathan’s statue thinking that he must have felt weird while seeing his own statue…’

‘And now it is happening to me too…’

Although they haven’t put the statue here yet, they have already built the platform for it so it won’t be long before they inauguratea it.

In this world, statues are usually made in remembrance of people who are already dead, but Jareth is very much alive.

So, if Jareth went to the inauguration of this statue, it will be like attending your own funeral while also smiling at all the guests.

‘Forget it, I will think about that matter later…’

Jareth shook his head and decided to focus on what he came here for.

He headed towards the ‘Help Centre’ office that was located just few hundred metres away.

There was a young woman sitting on the chair behind the large table, she immediately recognised Jareth after seeing his face just once.

“Uh… He-hello.. Sir… M-mr… What can I help you with?..”

Jareth completely ignored the woman’s nervous stuttering voice and spoke in his usual cold tone.

“Call the person in charge of the memorial, tell them that Jareth Ayad wants to talk to them for a bit…”

The woman was completely frightened by those words, she misunderstood that something might have offended Jareth and he wants to scold the person in charge for it.

She didn’t dare to delay and tried to stop her legs from trembling.

The pressure created by Jareth’s cold stare is indeed a bit too strong for a frail woman like her.

She hurriedly grabbed the telephone on the table and dialed a landline number on it.

When she stated that Jareth wants to meet him, the person in charge hurriedly threw away the phone and dashed down from his office to personally attend to Jareth.

After a few minutes a bald middle aged man came running down from the stairs nearby and wiped the sweat on his face with a handkerchief.

“N-nice to meet you Sir, I welcome you to this humble place… Uh, please come this way, I will prepare some tea for you-”

Jareth shook his head and denied the offer.

“Forget about tea and stuff, I will come over to have that some other day, but there’s something more important things to do right now…”

Jareth put a silencing spell in the area so that no one else other than the two could hear their words.

“I am here for the Abyss Alter… Here I have brought the token with me… Lead the way.”

Hearing the name of the Abyss Alter, the flattering smile on the bald man’s face immediately solidified.

“T-this!?”

The bald man hurriedly took the token and examined it properly, only after he was sure that it was the real thing did he return it back to Jareth.

Although Bald man likes to flatter strong people, he isn’t the type of person who will neglect his job.

He made it sure that Jareth wasn’t lying to him, afterall Abyss Alter is not something to joke about.

Barely anyone has ever made it back alive from that place, and due to this reason no one has entered that place for past hundreds of years.

Even the bald man was taken a black for a moment when Jareth suddenly mentioned the Abyss Alter out of nowhere.

A solemn look appeared on his face and he glanced at Jareth before saying in a calm voice.

“Please follow me…”

With that waved his hand to say bye to the woman and then led Jareth towards the basement.

Only a few people in the whole world knows that the entrance to the Abyss Alter, the most vile place on this planet is actually located right in the capital city.

The national hero memorial has always declared to the word that the statues here protect the nation.

This sentence has a hidden meaning behind it.

The statues in this memorial are a part of a sealing barrier created by the first kind himself.

They are used to seal the entrance to the Abyss Alter Area.

In the game, the main protagonist has to smash all these statues if he wants to break the protective seal to enter the Abyss Alter.

But most players end up missing this area as this place is completely optional and there’s no quests inside the Abyss Alter either.

The only thing you gain from going there is that you can farm tons of ‘exp’ by hunting the monsters in that place.

And you can fight Konda near the deepest area.

That’s all there is to this place, but of course there are rarely materials there that you can use to craft powerful weapons and artifacts.

So, most players only go to the Abyss Alter solely for the purpose of gathering rare material.

Jareth’s aim is the same, he wants those rare materials for his plans and he can’t miss them just because they are located in a dangerous place.

‘Abyss Alter… Here I come…’
