Chapter 123 - A Grand Scheme That Will Overturn Ortus (2) (1/2)

Soon, Jeremy finally emerged from within the passageway...

It appeared that there was no barrier preventing him from going in, so Jeremy strolled inside the hall leisurely.

A transparent window simultaneously appeared in front of him right after...

...

『 You have received 1x★ for discovering another tutorial chamber 』

...

Not long after, the window gradually disappeared from his sight...

At this moment, Jeremy was seen to be standing just right inside the spacious chamber, and the ambusher should be hiding around the corner's area in his far left.

To be frank, Jeremy had even expected a sneak attack to come straight at him directly the moment he stepped foot here. However, to his surprise, the 'being' in hiding didn't take any action whatsoever.

After realizing his enemy had no notion of attacking him just yet, Jeremy decided to act ignorant and play along with the ambusher.

'You want to play a game? If so, I will play along to your heart's content then...'

Jeremy thought with an emotionless face; in contrast, he grinned like an evil within his mind right now.

Upon finishing his thought, the 'ignorant' Jeremy swept his gaze quickly around the chamber just like any other person would do after coming inside such a place.

Obviously, he chose to start with the place where his supposed ambusher was hiding first.

Thus, Jeremy turned his head sideway towards his left side, and unsurprisingly, he saw... nothing...

It appeared that nothing was present at the said corner at all...

Meanwhile, Jeremy thought in realization after the brief observation on the area,

'Hnn... Mana fluctuation and higher darkness elemental concentration... The opponent is an amateur or something?'

In fact, if not for the mana fluctuation coming out from the place constantly, and some darkness elemental energy was thicker at the place than anywhere within the chamber, Jeremy would have thought he was imagining things too much.

Fortunately, Jeremy had both mana and darkness elemental affinity, so he could clearly feel the two anomalies coming out from the corner.

Despite his meager level of darkness affinity of 34.8%, Jeremy still felt the peculiarity and strangeness of dark energy lingering at the place somehow.

On the contrary, Jeremy's mana affinity was something else entirely as he could feel the mana fluctuation at the corner clear as day ever since when he stood within the dark passageway, which was more than dozens of meters away from the fluctuation's site.

Right now, he could feel it even more apparent than before...

His affinity level with mana was monstrous after all...

At this moment, Jeremy's brain was working at light speed; idea after idea, possibility after possibility, started rushing into his head endlessly.

Currently, he was gauging the opponent's race, species, alignment, and the approximated level of fighting prowess.

Subsequently, many possibilities were kept inside, and many were thrown away at light speed...

'Considering the tutorial is being held in the name of light faction... and the ambusher chooses not to attack for some reasons...'

'The combination of mana and darkness element... the weak manipulation over mana and element...'

'Hmm...'
