Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Darkness and light enveloped the entire world
Rhode looked up at the sky engulfed in darkness in the near distance Darkness and light were separated distinctively as though an invisible barrier had divided theh they were only a barrier apart, the scenery was entirely different
At that moment, he heard footsteps on the thick layer of snow He turned around and saw Celestina approaching hiht costume, but was as luxurious as usual Apart from that, a thick, plush cape also draped over her shoulders and hung behind her She appeared a little pale and upon detecting Rhode’s gaze, she glared fiercely But Rhode shrugged and turned his gaze away as she looked as though she was putting up a deceptive show of strength Celestina gritted her teeth and let out a sneer of disdain Of course, Rhode acted like he didn’t hear it
After the , everyone had reached a consensus that the scouts must be sent But there were controversies on the candidates In the end, Rhode expressed that he would be responsible, which triggered several disagreements No matter what, Rhode was the commander and overlord of this fortress and it was too risky The consequences were uniinable if he failed Not only Marlene, but Lize and the others also objected Bayer thought that Rhode was overly adventurous and was risking the fate of the fortress As soon as Rhode was discovered and killed, everything would be over Of course, not everyone objected, such as Anne who chimed in with Rhode, but the latter knew that she simply wanted to join hireed with Rhode’s suggestion because they understood the dangers as scouts They raised their opinions which involved dispatching scouts eren’t fa nite the tools and explode theuaranteed that they wouldn’t be discovered and would instantly return to the fortress using the ‘Return Ring’ as soon as there were any probleestions Instead, he crossed his arhts
“I don’t underestie and loyalty I also think that you are capable But I will need to handle thisthat none of you can do”
“What is it, Sir?”
Joey asked curiously Rhode heard the dissatisfaction in his tone and swept him a casual look
“Even if you see them, do you knohat kind of troops they are?”
“…”
Everyone looked at one another guiltily because Rhode’s words had hit their weak spots Indeed, Rhode wasthe Undead Creatures In fact, everyone learned about the Undead Creatures fro huhtest difference in details on the soldiers could affect the outcome of the entire battle This was also why scouts were mainly experienced veterans ouldn’t confuse between the Flah Marlene and Serena had knowledge about Undead Creatures, it o different matters between illustrations and actual presences They wouldn’t detect the exact differences between Skeleton Soldiers and Skeleton Guards even if theyinside out
On the other hand, Sara was extreh her spirit was in his hands and he wasn’t worried that she would betray him, he are that the Corpse Slaves of Liches h the Corpse Slaves wouldn’t betray theirthat they would be captured or kidnapped in the Country of Darkness This hy the Liches planted ical crests on their Corpse Slaves The Holy Maiden Statues’ enchanted field over the fortress cut off the eneical detection and as soon as Sara stepped out of the door… Haha They would just have to wait for the Lich to find its way here using its GPS Rhode had a counteractive plan for this He could get Canary to wipe out the ical crest as soon as he found it But the trouble was that even Sara wasn’t aware of where the ical crest was and a detailed examination was required to find it At least for now, Rhode didn’t have the time to do it
Finally, he had decided to head out alone and was confident He had entered the Legendary Stage and with the four holy sword cards in his arsenal, there were a total of five legendary beings It would be the Undead Arht they could hold him down Besides, Rhode didn’t need to sneak into their ca Madaras and Gracier would do—the Carlesdine’s ‘Stealth’ skill didn’t exist for nothing
Rhode understood well that the skeleton creatures held valiant anti-detection abilities In the early stages of the game, many players had suffered and due to the distinct differences between the living and dead, they eed on the Necroe easily intercepted by the Undead Ar and encirclement were extremely common Back then, a crazy, but bit their teeth for the sake of the rich remunerations Humans always caht of an idea to dodge the Undead Army’s detection Thereafter, the players had easy ti the Undead Arht Celestina along He knew that the Undead Creatures’ detection spell basically tracked for signs of life or kindness He didn’t think of himself as kind, but for the sake of safety, he sent Celestina out to be his scapegoat This de lady was 100 percent in the evil camp and even her bloodline had assured it
But, Rhode knew that this was merely an insurance and had another set of preparations ready
“What a nificent tower”
Serena exclaiht of stairs Marlene, on the other hand, remained silent, but it was apparent froreed with Serena After all, it was the dreae Tower It wasn’t as si powers, but it also represented the Mage’s glory and destiny
Shortly after, both of thehest floor of the tower Picturesque scenes could be viewed in all directions The chilly breeze blew, but instantly vanished as soon as they struck the ical barrier They lifted their heads and saw the patterns representing the wind and fire elements on the semicircular dome The entire hall looked unfrequented Rhode couldn’t be blamed because the simple decorations were all that he could afford for now If he were to decorate them completely, he wouldn’t be left withthe Holy Maiden Statues was ranked the third in his s in this territory, the renovation of this Spell Toould definitely be the first In fact, the constructions of simple walls and exquisite decorations wasn’t expensive It was the ical devices, defense enchanted field, Mithril Library and such that were the most costly
“You’re here”
Canary stood in theladies with a smile Marlene nodded in response while Serena stood nervously in attention She frantically presented a solee Canary It… It is e Tower I’e association I…”
“Relax, Serena”
Canary said gently “Don’t be nervous I’e as you You can call me by my name just like Miss Marlene”
“Yes… Miss Canary” Serena said in a tre voice, but Canary’s peaceful tone calmed her down
Serena lifted her head and scanned the young lady curiously Indeed, she appeared like her age But there was an obvious difference between theical powers in the Peak Inner Circle
Serena had heard the ru at the Land of Atonement But she didn’t take thee association Even though she wasn’t as outstanding as Marlene, she also held the pride and confidence that an impressive star should have She believed that the ru it was for ordinary huh the barriers and enter the Inner Circle Even though Marlene was more talented than her, wasn’t she only in the Middle Circle? If so defied the rules and transcended into the Inner Circle, why didn’t she heard of it before?
After arriving at Land of Atonee Tower construction It was Serena’s first ti today
But just this one tih
Serena sensed the dense, over-the-charts energy exuding froh crumbled entirely What surprised her further was that Canary was a Self-taught Mage! Oh ic exist at all?!
In that instant, Serena felt as though the title that she received in the Mage association was not worthy at all Standing before the true talent, she was nothing ar Serena felt uncoained reverence toward her were ether
