Chapter 786 - The Former Spear And Shield Of Dark Hero (Part 1) (1/2)

...…

A few moments before Shin and the others managed to clear all of the members of the corrupted cult within the Sky Deceiving Valley, Lawless and his team were currently exploring the other parts of the valley.

”This is quite unexpected. To think that the Saint Heaven Kingdom is turning into a mess? Those bastards from the Corrupted Cult sure know how to make things big,” muttered Lawless as he read the contents of the message that he just received.

He then turned to Faker who just arrived and asked. ”How is it? We still can't get near the area?”

”There is a pretty strong defensive barrier around the area, so approaching it is going to be hard. It is also well hidden by an advance concealing formation which is why we can't find how large exactly it is,” answered Faker.

Lawless fell into deep thought before asking another question. ”How about those two? Are they really part of the Corrupted Cult now?”

”Given their attitudes, I doubt that they are going to submit to anyone,” he added with a frown.

After that, he forwarded the message that he recently received to Faker, letting the latter to take also take a look at it.

Reading the message, Faker suddenly frowned his eyebrows quite deeply before answering the previous question. ”From the looks of it, the twins are only cooperating with the Corrupted Cult to finish a quest.”

He then paused for a couple of moments before continuing. ”And based on this information, it seems like it is somewhat related to the quest that we are doing.”

Hearing that, Lawless started shaking his head before saying. ”At first, I thought we will be able to meet them immediately, but it who would have thought that they are moving with that person.”

”Erica and Eriko, the previous shield and spear of the Dark Hero Adventurer Team. I still not expecting that they are going our enemies,” muttered Ember quietly.

”Tsk! Don't tell me you still have lingering attachments with them? Have you forgotten how they betrayed us!?” said Ravier when he heard her words.

Ember glared at him but didn't say anything to refute his words. She just turned her head to the side with a humph.

Ravier stared at her for a couple of moments before continuing. ”I know that you and Erica are pretty close in the past, but you should also remember that they are the ones who turn their back on us.”

”I know that already!” replied Ember while pouting her lips.

Hayden who was walking at the forefront of the group, remained silent since he didn't know the full story of why the strongest adventurer team during the reign of «True Era» online fell apart right before the 'great war'.

But from what he knew, it seemed to be a pretty big incident since it blew up in different online forums during that time. Moreover, it was also suspected to be the reason why the 'God Slayer Tora' and 'Death God Yami' retired and quit playing the game right after the war ended.

At the same time, he also felt that his competitiveness seemed to be awaked when heard the words spear and shield of the team.

At the present time, he was currently the main tank of the team but he was still not sure if he was good enough to replace the role that Eriko had left behind.

He might not be as famous as Eriko during that time, but he was confident that he could stand a chance against him at this point in time.

While he was lost with his own thoughts, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder which brought him back to reality. And when he heard his head to look whose hand it was, he saw Lawless walking beside him while saying.

Seeing that Hayden finally regained his focus, Lawless suddenly said. ”I know that you want to prove yourself but those two are our prey, but we have an unfinished business with them, so we can't let you have a contest with that guy yet.”

The knight was silent for a couple of moments before clicking his tongue and replying. ”Tch! And here I thought that I can finally face one of the greatest tanks of the virtual world.”

Lawless lightly patted Hayden's shoulder once again before saying. ”Maybe next time.”

A few moments later, the group finally arrived at their destination.

The place was at the very edge of the Sky Deceiving Valley and was also near the border of the Saint Heaven Kingdom and a neutral land.

The group hid their presence as they observed a small camp from a distance.

”Is that the place?” asked Lawless as he looked at the camp with squinting eyes. At the same time, he was also activating his ocular skill to see what the other side was doing.
