Chapter 206: Erezaghe Log
"Ahahaha, everyone, long time no see! Recently, Iâve been busy gathering material to make better videos for you, so I havenât had time to update. Thanks for waiting!"
In the video, Mantou wore an awkward smile on his face.
"I donât believe you, you liar! Take this knife, you hack!"
"Though itâs a bit outdated, I still have to say: Heaven King suppresses Earth Tiger, Mantou Charisma 5!"
"The razor blades have been sent. Please sign for them."
"Why do I see you riding a dragon and slacking off in other peopleâs videos every day?"
Mantou quickly got into the groove, his tone becoming impassioned, reminiscent of a storyteller slapping the table: "Mysterious howls from the Black Tower at nightâwhoâs scheming in the shadows? A beastly sorcerer transforms his own daughterâis this a perversion of humanity or a collapse of morality?"
"Are you playing awkwardly on purpose?"
The camera shifted to Mantouâs first-person perspective.
The video consisted of Mantouâs edited footage, based on his personal experiences, with post-production narration added. Its main focus was casual banter and exaggerated storytelling.
The content started with their first encounter with draconic gnolls. The trio showcased their skills, taking down several monsters through teamwork but ultimately had to flee in disarray when the gnolls summoned reinforcements to overwhelm them. Mantouâs narration resonated in a dramatic cadence.
"Watch here as I take on three enemies alone, cutting down two gnolls with one swing of my sword. Then, using my powerful aura, I scare off a third, once again saving the endangered Singo. Standing tall with my sword, dozens of gnolls dared not approach me. This is what martial arts masters in novels embodyâbut the enemy numbers were simply too great, and my teammates couldnât keep up with my rhythm. Even with my strength, I had no choice but to strategically retreat."
The comments scrolled with sarcastic remarks.
"Sneaking in some BS, arenât you?"
"Whereâs the autumn rain? No rain, no follow."
"Which martial arts master stands with their sword while gasping for air?"
The scene transitioned to Mantou meeting a girl in a snow hut. She kindly offered him a cup of hot tea, but the footage of him being scammed was sneakily edited out. The girl then revealed her true form as a terrifying monster. Special post-production effects were used here, overlapping the monstrous draconic transformation with the girlâs delicate features, alternating between the cold metallic chamber and the warm, cozy wooden hut.
Ultimately, Mantou and Singo narrowly escaped the monsterâs clutches, reaching a hidden room where they found a diary titled "Valennaâs Journal." It detailed how Valenna, once an innocent girl full of dreams for the future, was gradually transformed into a fully draconic monster.
"When I turned to the last page of the diary, I was already creeped out. Thatâs when we realized Valenna was real, and so was the monster. Who couldâve imagined that the âDaddyâ mentioned in the journal had transformed his own daughter into a monster!"
At this point, even Mantouâs tone carried barely suppressed anger.
The comments erupted into another frenzy.
"What a beast!"
"This guy even turned his own daughter into that? Worse than an animal!"
"Chilling to think about! Did Valenna eat Mary?"
"It hurtsâmy poor Miss Valenna!"
"Whoâs teaming up with me to run this dungeon? Iâm going to cut that boss into a thousand pieces!"
Next came the second wave of draconic monsters, during which Mantou and Singo regrouped with Born Battle Maniac. However, Mantouâs curiosity triggered the cursed soul jar, allowing a fragment of Wagnerâs soul to possess him, leading to the trio being effortlessly wiped out.
"Even the bossâs fragment is this strong?"
"Damn, Archmage!"
The subsequent footage was presented through Mantouâs blurry perspective from inside the jar, offering viewers a novel experience. Mantou seized the opportunity to share his many theories, deliberately mentioning Cassius.
The soul fragment mysteriously vanished, and the trio awoke at the top of the tower, where they encountered a captive white dragon. They then confronted Wagnerâs true form, with the footage ending in an explosive climax.
"Blast him good! Blow him to hell!"
"Kill that beast!"
Finally, Mantouâs cheeky face reappeared. He made sure to show off the rewards from triggering the hidden quest, including his exclusive traits and the envy-inducing ăTransform into Dragonă ability. He even displayed his inventory filled with white dragon scales.
Although the scales no longer belonged to him, at least he could show off to the audience.
"Suck it up!"
"Drain Mantou dry!"
"Seeing Mantou get loot hurts more than me not getting any!"
The unabashed flexing sparked waves of jealousy in the comments.
At the videoâs end, Mantou said, "Thatâs all for this episode. Folks, do you want to avenge Valenna? Want to gain the flashy Transform into Dragon ability? Want to farm loads of white dragon materials? Want to learn advanced spells? Head to the Polar Night Demon TowerâIâve left it all there!"
"Still playing awkward, huh?"
"I donât care. I have to check it out!"
"When does the official release happen? Iâm dying to play."
"No way, no way, thereâs no one who hasnât played Erezaghe yet, right?"
This video went viral again.
Valennaâs repeated cries of "Big Brother" were mentioned across numerous platforms, making her a figure of sympathy, while Wagner was nailed to the internetâs pillar of shame, drawing scorn from millions. This virality also caused Erezagheâs popularity to soar, with over five million players pre-registered for the public beta.
Players, however, were more pragmatic, focusing on the new dungeonâthe Polar Night Demon Tower.
A black tower hidden deep in the mountains.
A captive white dragon, a mysterious mage.
Andâimmensely generous rewards.
Mantouâs rewards were so lucrative that they included not only hidden quests and rare materials but also the near-broken ăTransform into Dragonă ability, sparking envy from everyone. Even the big guilds were jealous and began mobilizing resources to raid the dungeon.
Reportedly, the ăRoyalsă guild leader had already assembled a hundred players, determined to acquire dragon blood.
After all, it was a dragonâeven the smallest hatchling was far beyond the reach of ordinary players. Not to mention, this ability might have future advancementsâwho knows, it might even evolve into a full-fledged adult red dragon!
Meanwhile, Cassius, repeatedly mentioned by Wagner, became the subject of intense discussion among lore enthusiasts and power scaling fans. Debates over the famous faction boss surged in popularity, with forums even hosting threads like "Whoâs stronger, Cassius or the Void Whale?"
