Chapter 804: A Battle For Them

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Canary’s enlightenment worked All in all, Rhode was most afraid of failure and death, especially because he knew he couldn’t be revived Thisdecisions He took on any possible mission with his rich experiences andfrom this point, his protection of Marlene, Lize, and Anne wasn’t any less than Christie’s—just that he wasn’t as extreh, Rhode came up with a new idea But before that…

“Sir Overlord, is anything the matter?”

Sovann stood before Rhode’s desk and greeted hiee finally looked like a decent ht, soldier-like posture, his graceful bearing of a Battle Mage was clearly visible Rhode noticed that Sovann treated him with much more respect and admiration now Earlier on, Sovann still behaved rather aardly

This was clearly due to the fact that Rhode had accepted thee role, so Rhode couldn’t possibly let thears Sovann had initially hoped that Rhode could grant them the permission to settle down in his territory But he didn’t expect that not only did Rhode agree, he also arranged for accommodations in the fortress Apart from that, Sovann heard that the ‘scattered ree Group would be accepted as Rhode’s private soldiers, where their families could also apply for jobs in the fortress

Sovann was delighted because he thought that Rhode would chase theroup of injured ained a lot rateful for his kindness

“This hat happened, Mr Sovann”

Rhode fiddled with the feather pen in his hand and gazed at the linted with the traces of a smile, but Sovann didn’t notice

“I suppose you’ve heard froe Group is powerful, which is the reason why I initially hoped to receive your support But I didn’t expect that such an incident would happen…”

Sovann bit his lips because he was regretful about the current state of his group Who knew that the fore Group would end up in this mess? But ultimately, it was the leader’s and his responsibility for belittling Lennon’s ambitions They didn’t expect that Lennon would ‘backstab’ them for the sake of authority Up until this moment, Sovann couldn’t understand why He, Buster, and Lennon were close childhood buddies Weren’t years of brotherhood more important than some illusory authority?

However, such sadness only lasted for a second because Sovann felt dubious He didn’t understand why Rhode brought this matter up But, shortly after, he received his answer

“… I think… that the Battle Mage Group shouldn’t come to an end this way Mr Sovann, are you interested in rebuilding the Battle Mage Group?”

“What?”

Sovann lifted his head and widened his eyes at the emotionless roup with his companions, but they felt hopeless Their leader was dead and h hopes on were gone Not only that, but they also would become the overlord’s private soldiers Sovann didn’t think so far ahead But now, he didn’t expect Rhode to raise this question

“S-Sir…”

“You’ve already gotten the ‘Soul Road’ Staff Could it be that there are issues with the revival of the Battle Mage Group?”

“Yes, Sir Overlord”

Sovann nodded hurriedly

“Even though we do have the ‘Soul Road’ Staff in our hands, it is a pity that… We failed to co, the inheritance of the Battle Mage Group is extree Group knows about the secrets Although I’m the vice leader, I don’t have experience in inheritance rituals Besides, our leader died in battle Not to mention…”

Sovann shook his head This was the second reason why he wasn’t hopeful that the Battle Mage Group could rise again According to the ancient traditions, their leader of the Battle Mage Group would pass on his powers to the heir before he died After the heir gained the powers, a e on his body, which represented that he had passed the test and became the new leader

It was due to this reason that there wasn’t e Group However, the situation changed after they had gotten the ‘Soul Road’ Staff The inheritance of the ‘Soul Road’ Staff also hts of the Battle Mage Group, which hy Lennon ca the inheritance On the other hand, Sovann could also do the sa as one of the three vice leaders But…

“The inheritance ritual can only be completed at our altar But it has been occupied by the Undead Creatures…”

“We can still snatch it back”

Rhode said nonchalantly

“The Battle Mage Group’s inheritance shouldn’t be lost Besides, strictly speaking, I’roup…”

“S-Sir! It is not…”

Sovann replied anxiously Indeed, there were grue Group about Rhode Just like how soet their hands on the ‘Soul Road’ Staff, some couldn’t accept the reality After Sovannto the Land of Atonement, some of his companions complained that if Rhode didn’t ‘incite’ their leader with his strategy, their group wouldn’t end up in this state now

However, Sovann knew that this was unreasonable of them because what Rhode provided theh Sovann didn’t kno Rhode otten past obstacles with the suidance If it weren’t for the traitor, they wouldn’t have suffered gravely Therefore, their gru from this point But this was human behavior after all… Humans often pushed the blame to others, especially those whom they weren’t fa down his back because he thought that Rhode had heard the nonsense froestion If it was true, Sovann would be in for a bad time!

“It isn’t your fault, Sir Besides, it is too dangerous…”

“No no no I’ with you I’m serious about it”

Rhode waved his hand In fact, this was his true thoughts The Battle Mage Group had always been a powerful force In the gae Group was around 50, which hat Rhode valued in theht Mainland, the maximum level an ordinary human could reach was 40 Even with the assistance of the Sphere of Mystery to upgrade the leveling process in his territory, Rhode’s men like Joey and Randolf hit the cap at level 40 The only ones who broke through the level 40 cap were mixed-blood humans like Lize and Anne or talented humans like Marlene In other words, ordinary humans simply couldn’t achieve it

To the contrary, the Battle Mage Group succeeded Rhode observed thee level was truly above 50 In other words, they possessed the strength of the Master Stage However, they were only pure mortals without any talent So how did they achieve it?

Sovann was right Rhode indeed didn’t have the intention of developing the Battle Mage Group as an independent organization Instead, he wanted to grow theth of his other subordinates using their secret to breaking through the level cap The Battle Mage Group surely had a unique style of their own But he had to let the them to hand the secret over

Of course, co the mission was still the most important reason

“… It would be a pity if the Battle Mage Group were to fall I’ style, so I hope that not only your group can provide th ofthrough Rhode’s mind Sovann had to admit that if this were the case, he could accept Rhode’s explanation Indeed, just as Rhode expected, every groupcapability in order to stay independent in this continent Sovann knew that Rhode was clearly asking for their ‘secret’… But the conditions that he mentioned were…

“I understand, Sir Overlord”

Sovann gritted his teeth and agreed to his suggestion albeit feeling rather unwilling He could forget about it if the staff didn’t exist But now, it was clearly in his hands and he ht possibly become the first person to receive the ancient inheritance in a century It was i as I can fulfill the Battle Mage Group’s drea for an adventure once more We will accept no matter what kind of price that you need us to pay!”
