Alerted the geniuses of several major forces.
Following the young Arcane Wizard.
Tuck learned that several level 18 and 19 genius elite Transcendents from Ramore Tower had successively entered.
Next to arrive were geniuses from the Transcendent Academy of St. Land, among them was Blanc, with his squad clearly centered around him.
From afar, Blanc caught sight of Tuck and nodded slightly at him.
Tuck nodded back lightly.
Among the many entrants from Ramore, when several level 18 and 19 geniuses and elites saw Tuck.
A few of them spontaneously positioned themselves near Tuck.
“Hello, I’m Gudale, the leader of the squad for this mission, as introduced by Miss Hilor.”
Gudale, a strapping Ranger with jet-black short hair, introduced himself to Tuck.
“We originally wanted to team up with you for some practice, but Miss Hilor said you went to train in witchcraft alone, so we did not want to disturb you.”
“Now…”
Ranger Gudale glanced at the direction of the soon-to-be-opened Demon King’s Sealing Door, lowering his voice.
“The Demon King’s Tomb is about to open, I think we should get to know each other better, that way… we can cooperate more effectively.”
Initially, Tuck wanted to act alone.
But his request was vetoed by Miss Hilor.
“There’s absolutely no need for you to form a team by yourself.”
“After all, this mission is centered around squads.”
“After the squad completes the mission, you can move freely, and then you can do whatever you want without anyone minding.”
Without a doubt, Tuck was a man who listened to advice.
And the squad before him was the one Miss Hilor had chosen for Tuck.
Rather than chosen by Hilor, it was better to say it was one of the core teams assembled by Ramore Wizard Count.
This Ranger “Gudale” before him.
In terms of talent, he was not the slightest bit inferior to Phil Brollo, who had just harbored murderous intent against him.
“Marcus, Heavy Knight.”
The others introduced themselves in turn.
“Raymond Corey, Berserker.”
“Banov, Thief, and I’m fully responsible for all the Elite materials transport for this mission’s spiritual bridges.”
The youthful and refined-looking man stated, eyeing Tuck with great interest.
“Honey, Priest.”
The last Priest was rather aloof.
“Wizard, Tuck.”
Tuck introduced himself as well.
It was at this moment.
Unusual fluctuations came from the barrier at the entrance to the Demon King’s Tomb.
Everyone lifted their heads and looked carefully.
The obstructing barrier slowly began to open.
Vision of blood, death, and the chaotic threads of battle surfaced before Tuck’s eyes.
The area at the entrance to the Demon King’s Tomb, although not large, had clearly been the site of a bloody battle.
Without a word, several powerful individuals departed.
Soon, the only one left at the entrance to the Demon King’s Tomb was a Transcendent in a star-blue diviner’s robe, standing guard.
Star Astrologer Oswaya; if you truly think he’s just a Divination Master, you’d be regretting it as he crushes your head.
Oswaya, a highly skilled [Fighter].
It’s said even ants couldn’t crawl past him without tripping.
As for the lifelong dedication to his “Star Astrology”.
The answer given by Aubrey was, “Just take the opposite of whatever prediction Oswaya makes!”
While everyone was still hesitating.
Oswaya slowly began to speak.
His demeanor was calm and natural, exuding the poise of a sage of the natural stars from the inside out.
If you didn’t know Oswaya, you might even think he truly was a Star Astrologer.
“Everyone’s almost here, so come on over!”
As around forty to fifty people gathered, the already limited space at the entrance to the Demon King’s Tomb felt even more crowded.
Oswaya looked around at the crowd and began to speak in his deep voice.
“Just now, there was a particularly brutal sneak attack here.”
“Their goal was clear, to prevent us from exploring the Demon King’s Tomb.”
“Luckily, we repelled their attack.”
“But…”
Oswaya pointed towards the Demon King’s Sealing Door behind him.
“The progress of opening the Seal has been interrupted.”
“It is currently being reshaped.”
“Three days!”
Oswaya gave a precise time.
“In three days, the Demon King’s Sealing Door will be officially opened.”
No sooner had he spoken these words than the crowd’s expressions changed dramatically, with many eyes shining with light.
After all, the main purpose of everyone’s entry was for the mysterious treasures inside the Demon King Seal.
As well as Leader Level crystalline materials that were hard to find outside.
The higher the Talent of the Transcendent, the clearer they were about how important the foundation of the early Transcendent phase was.
Three Elite materials for Rank Promotion versus two Elite plus one Leader material, those were completely different.
The treatment received within High Tower varied greatly with the different difficulties of materials used for Rank Promotion.
Not to mention, there were some mysterious and unknown treasures within the Demon King Seal.
As long as the tasks given by the strong figures of High Tower were completed.
All other gains belonged solely to those who entered.
Otherwise.
Who would be willing to risk their life in that dangerous Land of Seals known as the Demon King Seal?
“So!”
“Just wait here quietly.”
Having said this, Oswaya ceased to speak further and sat down near the Demon King’s Sealing Door, closing his eyes to wait.
Many teams glanced at each other, and none of them intended to leave the area.
Team leader Gudale looked around and lowered his voice.
“Come over here!”
Before long, the six members of the team sat down in a wider corner of the corridor.
Gudale took out an alchemical magic item resembling a horse lamp and activated it.
A spherical barrier radiated outwards, enveloping the position where the group sat.
“This is a sound barrier, which can prevent others from eavesdropping on us,” Gudale explained with a somewhat solemn expression.
“In three days, the Demon King Seal will be opened.”
“So… the orders given to me by Count Ramore, as well as the mission, shall now be disclosed to you all!”
Everyone’s gaze focused on Gudale.
As the team leader appointed by Count Ramore, he undoubtedly had the most information and data.
“According to the data we previously gathered, the Demon King’s Tomb we are entering this time is a very dangerous area,” Gudale slowly began.
“It possesses the unique [Dark] and [Mist] Attributes of the underground world and also has the shifting Attribute of Transcendent layers stacking.”
“Simply put, the Dungeon Demon King’s Tomb we are entering this time is a massive, moving labyrinth that can devour Transcendents.”
“If one gets lost in its depths without the ability to discern, they may be trapped there forever.”
“Of the dozen or so Scouts who went in for exploration before, less than a third have returned.”
“And even that success rate is only because they didn’t explore deeper and only surveyed the nearby areas.”
“If they had gone deeper, it’s possible none would have returned.”
As he reached this point, Gudale looked at the Priest Honey in the team.
“Honey is our team’s guide who can discern the directions within the Demon King’s Tomb.”
“This time, our objective in the Demon King’s Tomb is quite straightforward,” Gudale said in a lowered voice.
“Head to the area near the second layer, eliminate a creature tribe with Demon King Sequence Features, and transmit the crystals of the Demon Sequence back.”
“Banov will be in charge of the transmission process; he has already been informed of this,” Gudale continued.
At this point.
Gudale looked sternly at Banov.
“Banov, I didn’t tell you these things to show off.”
“Do you know how many eyes were watching you when you were recounting it just now?”
“Guess what, would those High Tower City-States know your specific role and decide to take you down first? Or even snatch your Transcendent Storage Bracelet?”
“You fool, have you not taken to heart what I taught you before?” Gudale scolded Banov like a father scolding his son.
At that moment, Banov’s expression was one of embarrassment and regret, his ordinarily deft hands now had nowhere to rest.
“If there is another such foolish act, even the best luck won’t save you from ruining it!”
After reprimanding Banov, Gudale’s gaze swept over everyone present.
Eventually, his gaze settled on Tuck, and he slowly began to speak again.
“For this mission, the core person isn’t me, nor is it Banov or Honey, who hold any core roles; but rather, our team’s only Transcendent Wizard—Lord Tuck.”
“He is the designated core of our team.”
Following the conclusion of his speech.
All eyes within the team focused on Tuck.
