Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 507-Resolute Journey

Chapter 507-Resolute Journey

Although John knew that heading to the Dark Realm rashly would undoubtedly lead to numerous troubles, and he might even encounter ambushes from the Dark Faction, he felt it was essential to go.

For John, if he didn't venture into the Dark Realm now, he wouldn't be able to uncover the myriad secrets of the Dark Faction. He had previously been attacked by Devils of the Dark Faction. However, after repelling three Devils in succession, it seemed that the other Devils from the Dark Faction were no longer seeking trouble with John. If they weren't coming after him, it was only natural for John to take the initiative to confront them.

Having thought through everything, John said to Emma: "I am very grateful for your reminder, and I know your warning is to ensure my safety. However, we already have a lot of information. We all must quickly clarify the details about the Dark Faction and the Mystery camp. If we can't understand the situation of these two hostile camps, we will certainly face even greater crises in the future. After all, you must also be very aware that Deicide is not just an ordinary game. In fact, all the powers in the Deicide game truly exist.

"If these forces achieve victory in the game, they might very well infiltrate our real world. Do you want to see our reality destroyed by these dark powers?"

John's rhetorical question made Emma realize she couldn't say much more. She nodded, but still wanted to offer a reminder to John.

"I understand, and of course, I support your decision to go to the Dark Realm. But I still want to remind you, if you really encounter danger, don't try to tough it out alone. I can provide help. My strength has significantly increased compared to before. I can be considered one of the top fire maguses now."

Emma's statement was not an exaggeration. After a period of increasing her strength, her level had reached an astonishing 204. With such a high level, Emma indeed qualified as one of the most powerful fire maguses. Moreover, she had successfully enhanced her spell level in the training field of the Storm City barracks.

With a higher spell level, Emma could perform impressively in battle. She had also learned certain combat skills in the training field. Her words slightly moved John.

Even though John thought he wouldn't ask Emma for support in case of danger, as he had allies far stronger than her, Emma's willingness to help was touching.

John's assurance that he would seek help if in danger, along with his reminder of the Book of the Astral Realm's power, visibly relieved Emma. She hadn't witnessed the Book of the Astral Realm in combat but knew it was one of the most powerful divine weapons. With its assistance, even if John couldn't defeat a powerful enemy, he could successfully escape pursuit.

Having alleviated Emma's concerns, John prepared to re-enter the game. Upon logging back in, he immediately received messages from Adam and Blue Sea. They had learned from Duke Arsena about John's upcoming venture into the Dark Realm and were quite worried about this adventurous move.

"John, are you sure about this? The Dark Realm is fraught with danger, and we don't have much intelligence about what lies within," Adam messaged.

Blue Sea added, "I agree with Adam. It's a risky move. If you're set on going, at least let us know how we can assist. We don't want you facing those unknown dangers alone."

John read their messages and responded, "Thanks for your concern, but I've made my decision. I'm aware of the risks, but it's a necessary step. Don't worry, I'll be careful, and I have the Book of the Astral Realm with me. I'll stay in touch and call for help if needed."

He appreciated their concern but was determined to proceed. With his skills, the Book of the Astral Realm, and allies ready to assist, John felt prepared to face whatever the Dark Realm had in store.

John responded calmly to Blue Sea's agitation and Adam's quiet demeanor. "I don't think Duke Arsena is in league with Mystery Protector to target me. His suggestion for me to venture into the Dark Realm is likely out of concern for the situation at the Defend Wall."

John then detailed the circumstances at the Defend Wall near Sunset Mountain. Both Adam and Blue Sea agreed that the situation there was indeed worrisome. If the Defend Wall was breached by the Dark Realm, Storm City would face tremendous danger again, and their respective guilds would also be at significant risk.

Adam, seeking to be proactive, asked, "What kind of help can we offer you then? Should we join you in your venture? While we may not be as strong as you, we are still among the top players."

John appreciated Adam's direct approach and his willingness to help. It was clear that despite the risks, Adam and Blue Sea were ready to support him in any way they could, highlighting the strength of their alliance and friendship in the game.

Blue Sea, though not as quick to respond as Adam, strongly agreed with Adam's view. He felt that since he had been able to assist John in previous endeavors, he would certainly not stand by idly this time. Faced with the proposals from Blue Sea and Adam, John didn't make an immediate decision.

John knew that the Dark Realm was significantly different from other areas in the game. While in other game maps they might encounter enemies, these encounters were not always openly hostile or life-threatening.

However, the situation in the Dark Realm was entirely different. The Dark Realm was in complete opposition to the Order Faction. If their identities were exposed in the Dark Realm, they would undoubtedly face overwhelming attacks.

"Are you sure you want to help me? If you come with me to the Dark Realm, we'll face great dangers. You must understand that everyone in the Dark Realm is our enemy," John cautioned Adam and Blue Sea. He wanted them to fully grasp the perilous nature of the Dark Realm. Although they had never been there, it was evident that the Dark Realm would be far more dangerous than any other location they had previously ventured into.

Adam and Blue Sea were well aware of the dangers of the Dark Realm and had already prepared for it. Adam revealed a mask he had prepared, explaining, "This is an invisibility mask crafted by an artisan in our guild. With this mask, we can successfully disguise ourselves and be unrecognizable to others. By hiding our identities, we can enter the Dark Realm undetected. If we pose as new players, neither the NPCs nor the players in the Dark Realm would target us."

The mask Adam presented was indeed very useful for John. Considering the utility of the mask, John ultimately agreed to let Adam and Blue Sea accompany him, but not without laying down some ground rules: "I agree to have both of you join me, but you must follow my instructions. In other situations, it's fine not to follow my lead, as acting independently won't pose much danger. However, in the Dark Realm, if you don't follow my instructions, we will face greater risks. So, unless I give a clear command, do not act on your own."

Adam and Blue Sea didn't object to John's conditions. They understood that even with the invisibility mask, they would still face significant risks in the Dark Realm.

"Of course, that's not a problem at all. We both know you're the strongest and most strategic among us. We will completely follow your lead in the upcoming actions!" they assured John. Their agreement and readiness to cooperate fully underlined their trust in John's leadership and their awareness of the perilous journey ahead in the Dark Realm.
