Chapter 622 - Is It Too Late? (2/2)
On the other hand, Roland was considering how he should deal with the True Ancestor.
She was truly strong, unlike the losers from the Spatial Magic Tower who had great stats but didn’t know the first thing about fighting.
Judging from her quick movements and her decisiveness, it was quite obvious that the girl had been through a lot of battles.
Also, the girl was very fast.
It would be useless to simply lock the space with Dimensional Anchor, as she was extremely fast when she flew even when she didn’t flash.
She was probably as agile as Andonara.
How could Roland deal with such a boss?
He barely stood any chance of winning even if he were to use Elemental Embodiment.
He recalled the intelligence he learned from Ragnar and considered if there was a feasible solution.
Then, he subconsciously said, “How can I kill her?”
The enemy was so strong that Roland didn’t consider catching her alive anymore.
That would be too difficult.
All kinds of comments were popping up in the stream channel.
“Wow, what a beautiful vampire girl! I love her! Screenshots taken! Licking!”
“@Roland, please tell me a way to go to the Netherworld. I need to pick up my wife from there.”
“Upstairs, for your information, there is a comprehensive criminal law in our country for people like you.” “FBI, open the door!”
“This is allowed by the law. The vampire girl is even older than your grandmother.”
“Yes, it’s legitimate! She’s old but she’s still a girl! I’ll lick her too.”
“Wait, didn’t you hear that Roland wanted to kill her? It would be such a shame if a beautiful girl like her got killed.”
“That’s so brutal. How can you possibly do such an insane thing to such a lovely girl?”
“No, you can’t. Can you tell Roland not to kill her? Just catch her. I can pay a ransom of several hundred billion for her in reality.”
“Human trafficking is also against the law. Slavery doesn’t work anymore nowadays.”
“It’s just the trade of game data. This is just a game. Why are you taking it seriously?”
“Really. I also don’t want such a beautiful girl to be killed. Beautiful girls are rare resources in the first place, not to mention one who is special and will always remain beautiful.”
“Too befuddled to think straight when you see a pretty face, right? Humiliating! Yes… I’m talking about myself.”
“Let’s vote in the forum and ask Roland not to kill this girl, okay?”.
“Wow, what a bunch of disgusting men. You don’t want to kill her just because she’s pretty? Do you even know how many people the True Ancestor has sucked dry?” “But Roland didn’t say that the True Ancestor killed a lot of men, right? It’s said that blood-drinking just means some loss of nutrition for humans if the vampires are cautious.”
“Let’s just be straight. You’re just into her because she’s pretty.”
“So what? You women love watching the pretty male stars too, don’t you?”
“Oh… I don’t know how to respond to that.”
“Let’s vote in the forum and ask Roland not to kill her.”
“That’s unnecessary. He’s working an epic quest, you think he’ll spare her when you ask him to? But Schuck was right. You should pack up a girl and take her home if she’s beautiful.”
Time always flew fast when one was thinking carefully.
Roland had no idea that people were arguing about whether or not the vampire girl should be killed in the stream channel. Three hours had passed, but he hadn’t come up with anything
At this moment, someone shouted from the outside, “Sir, are you in there?”.
The voice sounded familiar. Roland walked out of the shelter only to find that it was Ragnar the Gnome.
“You tracked me down?” Roland was slightly surprised. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“I think it’s time that I lead you to my friends.”
“You didn’t trust us before, but you’re willing to lead us to them now?”
“I’ve seen the previous battle,” said Ragnar in admiration. “It was truly awesome of you to escape from the enraged True Ancestor. Also, your friend, he was really… I’m sorry. I feel very regretful for your friend. A sacred man like him shouldn’t have perished in such a
place.”
Ragnar had grown up in the Netherworld. He had never seen real sunlight until this day.
It was so warm and bright.
Although it lasted for only ten minutes, he felt that he was all heated up and filled with strength.
Roland waved his hand. “He’s not dead; he’s just back in the Church of Light.”
He was speaking the truth, but in Ragnar’s ears, it sounded like a subtle eulogy.
Generally speaking, when a believer died, people would say that he went to paradise and was embraced by his god.
He felt that Roland was expressing the same thing
Seeing that Roland would rather not talk about the Saint Samurai, Ragnar simply continued, “I think we can unite against the True Ancestor of vampires.”
Roland smiled. “I think so too.”
About three hours later, Roland met Ryan and his crew in another area of rocks.
He discovered, to his surprise, that all those people were Masters and above.
Their leader was even a Legend. It was truly possible to kill the True Ancestor with a team led by a Legend. Was this the designed plot of the epic quest? Would the NPCs help him?
While Roland thought about that, Ryan stepped forward and shook his hand. “My friend, I’m glad to meet you. We’ll be allies and trustworthy partners as long as you’re willing to overthrow the True Ancestor and kill the vampires.”
“Thank you.” Roland shook his hand too. “But is this your whole crew? I don’t think it’s enough.”
It was possible for such a team to assassinate the True Ancestor in peacetime.
However, after the previous fuss, the Ten Thousand Stones Abyss would definitely be under martial law; even if it wasn’t, the city guards would be much more vigilant than before.
Therefore, while the team was strong, their odds of success were slim.
“We’re just one of the teams.” Ryan smiled. “Sir, you are an esteemed Mage, so we’ll try to protect your safety in battle. But we have a question. Can any of your other partners perform light spells? It’s such a shame that the Saint Samurai passed away.”
Roland really wanted to laugh.
So, everybody thought that Schuck had died.
He couldn’t help but explain, “Don’t worry, he’s still alive. The Church of Light has a special lifesaving skill now.”
Ryan was greatly shocked. “For real? You can escape from death? Bro, is it too late to worship the Goddess of Light from now on?”
