The sound of weak footsteps ca Jundtrathep alking slowly, her mind nervous Similar to Cross, she wasn't confident in herself at all
During the course of her travel, she was diligently practicing lines in her head Jundtrathep sincerely hoped that her rejection wouldn't be too harsh to the man
Finally, Jundtrathep arrived at the destination Witnessing Cross' anxious expression, she took a deep breath and quickly declared her will before things becameyour feelings with me However, I believe we still don't know each other that well Also, I, umm, I-I already have someone I like How about… we become friends?”
In all her honesty, Jundtrathep didn't even knohat she was saying She didn't knohether Cross wanted to make a new friend As far as she knew, Cross' friends only consisted of Fargo and Shueria
Nevertheless, Cross' reaction was unlike any of her expectations He looked at her as if he was looking at a freak
“What are you talking about? Hurry up and put on the ring We're short on time”
Jundtrathep panicked and instinctively replied, “Even if you force me, there is no way I will—”
Cross frowned at her words as he explained, “Oi! Don't s, our stats will increase by twenty percent e fight together, we can always teleport to each other, and it's impossible to block communications between us You're extremely important to this war No matter what it takes, I can't let you die”
“Eh? I-I see” Jundtrathep followed Cross' train of thought and became embarrassed at herself
“It's fine if you have understood Hurry up and wear the ring That guy will arrive soon”
Jundtrathep took one of the rings in the box and put it on her left ring finger Then, the other ring flew to Cross Thehesitant He stared at it with s for sohed and put it on his left ring finger
Once both silver rings were equipped by the couple, the system added new social status, Lover, to the two players without their consent
Realizing how she was valued in high regard, Jundtrathep couldn't help but express her doubt “Umm Can I ask a question?”
“Just say it”
“A Brother Tiger's group, I noticed either Mister Fargo or Mister Shueria frequently came to look after us every hour”
Cross nodded He wasn't looking at her though Even before she had arrived, he see the area
“Yes, you are Your skills are very important, especially Land of Pro sent to Siaferia City's battlefield instead of the other ones This battle requires your skills theins and who loses”
Jundtrathep still didn't understand True, she knew that Land of Pro Its duration was short while the cooldoas long Moreover, theweakness was the fact that she couldn'ta city requires the attackers to constantly be on the move Her skill shouldn't be as helpful as Cross' claih”
“It seems you still don't understand An overpowered skill is not so that is only scary when it is active There areit Just your presence alone can reassure the arhten their morale More importantly, do you knoe weren't anificantly inferior to Siaferia City's?”
“Wasn't it because our caon Forest?”
“That was only a part of the reason However, the real reason was because of your presence Montra has seen the result brought by your skill A battle that he could surely win, like the ambush in the Victorious Wolves Sect, can turn out to be a loss He is a s outside of the fortified city As long as you still haven't used the skill, the situation will be like this for a while”
It was exactly as Cross said Despite having a long cooldown and a short duration when the skill is active, it possesses the potential to overturn the result of a battle Land of Promises' presence was especially powerful in an important battle where they couldn't afford to lose
Both Kawin and Montra had discussed beforehand that they would stay inside the city, gaining benefit from Montra's Emperorshi+p Only when Jundtrathep had either died or expended the skill would they disregard the buff and march their army outside of the city They planned to crush the Royal Armament Guild's army within the span of a week before the skill's cooldown finishes
In this kind of situation, not using it was equivalent to constantly using it
“Let me warn you No —I don't care, just don't ever activate Land of Promises I'll personally tell you when to use it”
“Hoill you tell er “You'll surely get theis incredibly important We can't afford to be too early or too late, even by a minute”
“I understand Let's head back to the ”
“No one is waiting I ordered them to move without us”
“Eh? We won't participate in the raid, then?”
“This is essentially a er handle it so that he will get used to e army As for us, we also have our own battle Fro bad happens, use this crystal to teleport to Shueria Understand?”
Cross pushed a Crystal of Connecting to Jundtrathep's hand
She held it, blinking confusedly “What do youat the forest His reply was short “He's here”
Cross' short sentence didn't require further explanation Even though Jundtrathep had yet to see a silhouette of the arriving person, just awind, accoh for her to realize that an ominous presence had arrived
The sun had yet to set, yet it seeht While wondering about the reason, Jundtrathep noticed that it was neither because of the sky, climate, nor the position of the sun Thethe air
“Zazae, no need to hide I know you're here”
The shadow of death, or rather the Heavenly Dragon Guild's best assassin, made an abrupt appearance next to a tree Zazae was fully covered in a robe, preventing everyone froether with his naked feet, were visible
Zazae's approaching steps didn't make any noise, but they exerted mysterious pressure that almost suffocated Jundtrathep
“You can even detect my presence? You've improved from before, huh, Cross?”
“Heh You hid in between e of the fact that le-Horned Dragons don't like going outside Youqi, but you're an amateur when it comes to psychic power No matter hoell you conceal your qi, your mental oppression is out in the open”
Apparently, all of Cross' skills had been copied by Zazae However, his skill pool focused on heightening hisweapons Even he had a difficult ti intent For Zazae to watch him, it was needless to say that he would detect thefah for hile-Horned Dragons couldn't use psychic power
“Are you saying that you realized, yet you didn't run away?”
