Feeling the convergence of doubtful, curious, and baffled gazes, Tuck was caught off guard.
“You’re not joking, right?”
“I’m just a salted fish that follows you guys around, a slacker who cheers you on from behind.”
“I even made plans to pick up any elite crystals that you guys don’t want.”
“And now… you want me to be the main force?”
Looking at Gudale’s solemn and serious eyes, Tuck realized it.
The other party was not only telling the truth,
but seemed to know some of his real tactics.
“Gudale, we still don’t know much about Mr. Tuck, and he… is really a bit too young.”
“Is it really okay for Count Ramore to arrange it like this?”
The one voicing everyone’s doubts was the priest “Honey”.
Gudale looked at Tuck, without elaborating too much.
Tuck took a deep breath and said earnestly,
“What Captain Gudale probably means to say is that I am a wizard, and a combat-oriented one at that.”
“My output capability is definitely central to the team.”
“Therefore, during battle, I need to be the core.”
Stopping there, Tuck paused.
“But this exploration… it’s definitely something we need to accomplish together.”
“Right, Captain Gudale?”
Tuck looked towards Gudale.
After a long while, Gudale finally nodded slightly.
“That’s the idea, as long as everyone understands, that’s enough.”
“I hope that at that time, Mr. Tuck will be able to perform to the fullest, after all, the sooner we get the resources, the sooner we can all act freely!”
“Don’t worry, I will!”
Tuck nodded in response.
The small team meeting came to a close.
Everyone found a suitable place to sit down in the corner, or to recuperate in silence.
Tuck took out his meditation blanket and sat on it steadily, quietly stabilizing and absorbing the Steam Core.
In the beginning, it was necessary to resonate with steam to draw power from the Steam Core.
But as some of the Steam Sequence Seeds took root in Tuck’s Tree of the Wizard Sequence,
there was no longer a need for external steam resonance, as the seed power inside the Wizard Tree was enough to guide and absorb the Steam Core’s power.
Moreover, as more Steam Sequence attributes settled inside the Wizard Tree,
Tuck’s absorption rate was getting faster and faster.
Tuck often heard a “whoo-whoo” steam roaring sound beside his ears.
It felt as if his Steam Sequence was cheering, sending out its birth roar to the world.
Accompanied by Tuck’s breathing and heartbeat, the furnace engine also pulsed gently.
The power of the Steam Sequence was now flowing through Tuck’s blood.
As time kept passing,
Tuck was refining his witchcraft and Transcendent Sequence meticulously.
The time to enter the Demon King’s Tomb was drawing nearer.
The many teams in the cave passage had grown increasingly cautious.
After all, no one knew if or when the Dark Sun Church’s attack might come back.
While Tuck wasn’t clear about the situation of others, in his case,
given that Tuck could sense the movements through the soil of the earth,
those members of the Dark Sun Church,
if they dared to come, Tuck was ready to teach them a solid lesson.
However!
The members of the Dark Sun Church did not come.
Even members who came to scout the area from the Dark Sun Church were absent.
They could have used the Undercurrent to get close for reconnaissance.
This strange silence made Tuck sense some dangerous aura.
If the danger from the Dark Sun Church wasn’t outside,
then without doubt, the danger had been delivered by the Dark Sun Church deep into the Demon King’s Tomb.
…
In a tranquil corner, Tuck was quietly absorbing the power of the Steam Core.
“Captain Gudale.”
The voice of Hilor broke the silence.
For a moment, many other teams waiting in the cave turned to look.
“The Demon King’s Sealing Door has stabilized, you can enter now.”
Although Hilor’s voice was not loud, it made everyone in the underground cave become alert.
The Demon King Seal Door!
It had finally opened.
All at once, there was a flurry of activity.
Many eyes were fixed on Gudale’s team.
They hoped to glean some clues from them.
After all,
the door to the Demon King’s Tomb had opened.
The first team to enter was often the one with the highest hopes.
However, as everyone’s gazes swept over, they found nothing of value.
The members of this first-entering team, except for Gudale, who had some reputation in the Ramore Tower City-State, were all rather ordinary.
In the crowd, Tuck followed Gudale, passing through the barrier of the cave passage.
Upon entering, Tuck immediately felt a multitude of powerful forces lurking in the darkness.
It seemed like Oswaya was the only one guarding the place on his own.
In reality, the strong figures of Ramore Tower had already left their tools of power here.
The silent battle of wits had already begun behind the scenes.
The power of the Steam Tower had opened a two-meter-high, one-meter-wide ovoid passage on the original Demon King’s Sealing Door.
[Dark], [Fog], and [Crawl] merged with the power of the Steam Tower, achieving balance within the doorway.
“Everyone, be careful,”
Oswaya’s woody gaze swept over the people, his tone soothing as he cautioned them.
“After all, you are the team with the greatest hope this time.”
“Count Ramore said, as long as you bring back enough Demon King Sequence Features or Demon King’s Power Traits, you’ll all be rewarded handsomely.”
“And it’s a reward beyond your wildest dreams.”
The members of the team looked at each other.
They hadn’t expected that their seemingly ordinary squad would turn out to be the village’s greatest hope.
“All right! Let’s begin!” Oswaya waved his hand.
“Marcus.”
Gudale immediately gave the order.
The heavy knight Marcus brought up his transcendent heavy shield, thicker than a door panel.
Priest Honey applied supportive blessing spells to him, and Gudale also bestowed [Anthem] upon him.
Then Marcus plunged straight in.
Berserker, Raymond Corey, followed closely behind.
“Tuck.”
Following Gudale’s voice.
Tuck took a step forward, and as the shadow swept in, he entered Shadow State and disappeared into the sealing doorway.
Upon entering the doorway,
Tuck felt forces pressing in from all sides.
This was the restrictive power inherent to the Door of Seal.
As he went deeper,
various bizarre transcendent characteristics continued to infiltrate.
The “Crawl of Domains” was what Tuck felt most distinctly.
The world behind the Door of Seal seemed like a living titan!
Whoosh…lur…
Accompanied by the cutting between solidity and illusion,
Shadow State Tuck successfully passed through the seal and landed safely.
Taking a deep breath, Tuck looked around this Demon King’s Tomb that he had been steadily cultivating for two whole months.
The air was filled with the two unique transcendent ecological traits of the Demon King’s Tomb: [Fog] and [Dark].
Mere night does not hinder the penetration of light.
But the [Dark] attribute of the Demon King’s Tomb devours light.
Tuck waved his hand.
Three Shadow Flame Demon Wolves leaped out from behind him and then silently disappeared into the darkness.
Tuck took out a horse lamp and threw in a solidified Spear of Shaping Light – Ball.
“Whoosh!”
The almost tangible [Dark] was instantly pushed back thirty or forty meters by light.
“Hmm… this segment of the Wizard Tree has absorbed the Light attribute of the Angel Sequence; my Spear of Shaping Light – Ball has also grown much stronger,”
Tuck surveyed his surroundings, his eyes slightly narrowed.
“This light is too strong.”
With Tuck’s delicate control over the Spear of Shaping Light – Ball,
the power of light was swiftly contained, eventually pushing back the Darkness only by about fifteen or sixteen meters.
The Shadow Demon Wolves followed on the edge of the light.
If it were only infused with the [Dark] attribute, it would at most slow one down a bit.
What truly is troublesome and bothersome is the [Fog] attribute.
The [Fog] attribute can make one lose their sense of direction, and if one falls into a vortex of fog,
they would circle round and round until death.
And at this time,
the heavy knight Marcus and berserker Raymond Corey, who entered before Tuck,
had already started to wander in circles in the mist.
