Rhode quickly understood the happenings from the elderly man’s explanations Actually, the situation wasn’t that complicated Many Guilds had tried their luck with this mission in the previous years However, the Ice Devil was extree because they wouldn’t need Starlight’s help if the previous Guilds succeeded, right?
The main problem lay in the mercenaries that had failed from their attempts
The mercenaries failed to annihilate the Ice Devil and left irresponsibly, leaving the residents residing near the Frozen Lake to suffer froh the ainst the Ice Devil, they had, after all, awakened it froooddisturbed from its slumber As a result, the residents had to face the Ice Devil’s wrath Although the Ice Devil couldn’t leave the sealed Frozen Lake, it could summon low-level Water Elemental Creatures to harass the nearby towns and its miserable residents Not only that, the Ice Devil would absorb the water source to repair itself, which led to the residents without usable water froh they could break chunks of ice from the Frozen Lake, they orried that the water would be conta below
From the start, the residents tolerated because, nowould return to normal after the Ice Devil was defeated However, after all these years, no mercenaries succeeded and the residents couldn’t hold it in any longer The residents’ attitude toward theto slay the Ice Devil turned froer hopeful and they had had enough of such torturous days under the Frozen Lake for thatapart from sleep, isn’t it better if we tolerate our days? It’s better than those barbaricit and leave us to suffer froht?
Theto the elder man’s description Mercenaries were mainly the lowest-class civilians and they could es Previously, they had different standpoints and there the ht much about them After all, the residents were just ’eerous job while they hid behind them What problems were there for the residents to worry about?!</e her brows and feeling conflicted Although she was born in the King’s Party, she, after all, had left the Golden City at a young age and understood the feelings of the lowest-class civilians If it were Marlene, perhaps she could never understand why these people chose to stay and suffer rather than leaving this horrible and dangerous place
Rhode muttered to his, but he had to complete thisall the 5 Stars Missions for Starlight and he would be in big trouble if he gave up on this
The mercenaries who failed to defeat the Ice Devil couldn’t be bla too weak Guilds would typically have two to three powerful beings and it wouldn’t et rid of the Ice Devil after so many attempts The ultimate reason was that the Guilds didn’t bait out the Ice Devil from the water source The Ice Devil was considered an interth shouldn’t be belittled Moreover, it possessed the ability to manipulate and create lower-level creatures of the Water Eleion’s water source and it could create an infinite aical that the mercenaries had lost because they weren’t able to lure the Ice Devil out of the water source Mercenaries were humans too and they couldn’t possibly dive into the ice-cold water The style of defeating the lower-level creatures first before facing the BOSS was also less because it could continuously summon Water Eleh solutions to counter the problems
But before that, he had to resolve the problem before him
“Please follow me,” Rhode beckoned for the elderly man and both of them whispered to each other at the side All the bystanders looked on curiously and no one dared to eavesdrop
No one could infer fro up an expressionless face But the mercenaries knew that this odd and powerful leader of theirs was in a decent mood and it would mean a bad omen if he were to smile warmly
