Chapter 32: A New Person Three Days Later! (2/2)
After the class-change system was complete, he would have them know the horrors of after game versions updated…
Still, as Xi Wei kept his eye on Leah’s group, he unwittingly noticed that cultists from the Rotten Bones had actually started to show up in Wickidor as well.
***
At first, Xi Wei was shocked, believing that the cultists influence had expanded to Wickidor in days. However, it proved not to be the case—after he looked carefully, the cultists in the city were few in number. If it was another god’s stronghold (with their church established in it), the region would be filled in the god’s Divine Fury, and not even another god would be able to see inside it.
And Xi Wei did not find any place like that.
By observing the behavior of the cultists, Xi Wei realized that they appear to be there in pursuit of Leah’s group. Carlo, the middle-aged man who betrayed the God of Games.
While the actual reason was unclear, it probably was because the cultists had discovered traces left after Leah’s group was teleported away, and then used some special move to track and follow them.
With that in mind, Xi Wei was relieved. As long as the Cult of Rotten Bones did not expand and their divinity was not promoted at its essence, he had nothing to fear.
He was not at all concerned about the safety of Leah’s group.
In all fairness, the Rotten Bones outnumbered Leah, and their men were not lacking in ability even when compared to Carlo. Although they were not strictly as powerful as Carlo, Xi Wei could feel Rotten Bones’ blessing exuding from their bodies, which alone allows them to stand with Carlo stand as equals.
One should certainly note that Carlo was the captain of Tierra’s imperial guard and Princess Leah’s own sword instructor. His ability was certainly imaginable!
As for the reason that the cult would send so many of their finest to track down Leah’s group was probably fear that they would make things worse, that they would surrender themselves to an orthodox church and informing them about the cult’s hideout in Lancaster.
After all, that was the cult’s main base, and if they got wind of it, the orthodox church would probably purge them entirely right after they established themselves in that city. Even if they were not wiped out, they certainly would be dealt a heavy blow!
If it was days ago, it would be certain death for Leah’s group against the cultists’ finest.
Things were different now, however. Leah’s group obtained new power and leveled up continuously by killing monsters in their journey after obtaining the System. In fact, so what if the impossible worst would happen and Leah’s skill proved lacking, and their entire group would die?
The Rotten Bones were unaware of Xi Wei’s horrific lawbreaking creation that was the System. Even if their heads were cut off, it was but a flesh wound—and a new person three days later!
