Chapter 747: Darkness Falls (XIV)
“Phew…”
It was already noon when Rhode stepped into the park The sunset glowed in a scarlet radiance by the horizon Soldiers and mercenaries rotated their duties anxiously Entire streets were filled with nervous tension because they knew that the battle would begin after the sun set completely
Rhode felt worn out He looked around hi on the stone chair in the park As thepublic area in the Land of Atonehter and conversation However, the solee, chilly place Rhode gazed at the sky boringly and occasionally toggled his systeo ‘offline’ just like in the game and return to the casual, real world for a couple of drinks or er female juniors That here he didn’t need to worry about war or survival even though he complained that jobs were hard to find, queues were insanely long, or he couldn’t find a great job even with a dozen diplo for hisa new job But he would never need to worry about risking his life He lived in a country that was peaceful, where all worries were insignificant—graduation thesis, work, interview, love, break-ups, e, and divorce All these should be his concerns On the other hand, it was never his concern about the future of this continent and his survivability Even in the game, he mostly achieved his aaroup of players to conquer the entire game, but the achievements and reputation added no value to their resuaah ht of his back, he didn’t benefit from it in real life In fact, Rhode often heard about Old Ryu’s grumbles about his ues who only kne to flatter their higher-ups, vain ho loved buying knockoff leather goods, and daughter who often returned home late Rhode reht to the world co company, they almost failed to co professions There were ht, which led to a whole lot of troubles in the competition For instance, Canary had to pay tuition and write a research report, Mini Bubble Gum’s summer vacation homework had piled up on the table, and Old Ryu wasn’t sure if his request for leave application could be approved…
If it wasn’t for the gaht tickets, , perhaps Rhode would have been the only one to participate in the individual ht to attain the glory of being on top of the world But no ame Perhaps it was honorable for the players to participate in the world competition and be crowned the best in the world But what purpose did it serve in reality? Even if Canary won, it wouldn’t add an additional point to her exa Mini Bubble Gunments after she soaked in cheers for her victory Even Old Ryu would need to worry about explaining to his wife that he was only participating in a competition and not carry on a clandestine love affair with his colleague
This was only a game No matter how honorable it was, it didn’t affect the society or world Their victory wouldn’t change the fate of the world while failure wouldn’t lead the world into destruction Although online ganized, accoies, they couldn’t coe scale events like the Olympics or World Cup at all
Perhaps it was due to this reason that they could enjoy the fun of it
But now… Rhode didn’t enjoy it one bit He only wished to live on and even if he couldn’t care less about the changes that would happen to this continent or the lives of others The overwhel pressure left him breathless
“This isn’t fun at all…”
Rhode toggled the system interface off and murmured
Previously, he discussed with Canary and the others for a long and felt utterly hopeless Although Erin was still young and her abilities weren’t as terrifying as she was in the ga as the moon existed, it was impossible to defeat her and if she destroyed the three Holy Maiden Statues, Rhode was sure that his side would be coht be a great idea, the problem was that not even Mini Bubble Gu so
What left hihter and tears was that Erin came to the battlefront simply because she heard that the Land of Atoneions had different degrees of stalemates, the Land of Atonement was the only battlefront that completely repelled the Undead Army This hat piqued Erin’s curiosity and she wished to personally see who their enemies were
Rhode was speechless It see was also a criure of Erin, he would have kept a low profile and struggled in the battleand would return straight home, which would be best for everyone
But it was a pity that there wasn’t any olden ritual slowly rotating in the sky was so striking
Is anything else h…”
He wouldn’t reveal such an expression before anyone As a leader, it was most important that he maintained his majesty and confidence at all times If his men were to see him in a miserable state, they would also be worried Even if the situation was horrible, Rhode would need to convince theht But, the fact was… it was really terrible
Rhode wasn’t confident in facing Erin at all Most of the time, she spent her days in the Moon Castle, royal library, or enjoyed operas and syaendary generals on the Light Mainland or aht Parliament, Erin didn’t look for him at all, which hy he didn’t interact with her and couldn’t figure out her personality or thoughts All he could do was to read up about her on the foru the Country of Darkness But even so, he refused to believe that she would watch idly by as the Undead Army crumbled—because this would be treason
In the end, the conclusion he had gotten after discussion was that Canary and Mini Bubble Gu the Holy Maiden Statues while he eliminated the Undead Army as quickly as possible After Erin realized that her side was utterly defeated, perhaps she ht leave immediately Of course, Rhode was also aware that Canary and Mini Bubble Gum could only delay Erin for a short while even if Gillian was present with her powers unsealed Also, there would also be around 150,000 Undead Creatures, which was an astronoentle voice sounded
