Second World

Chapter 1365 1365. Fighting Their Way To The Exit Portal

?

Freddie was a level 66 druid. He was the same as Tom who ended up with a healer-type elite class.

Although he was imprisoned in this realm pretty early, he was never killed throughout all the games he participated in, so he didn't lose any level. Additionally, during the waiting time between the games, he was permitted to use the training dimension. He was not that interested but there were only so many things to do in this place to kill his boredom. That's how he managed to keep up with the level of the average players in the world outside.

Freddie cast Summon Treant. Two large treants came out and protected Jack's two sides.

Freddie served as the last line of defense. With his help, the others had less pressure. His treants served as solid blockades while his martial arts covered those who slipped past the treants.

Even so, as time passed, the pressure returned. The night hunters just seemed unending. Most of everyone's skills and spells were on cooldown. They mostly fought using standard attacks and basic skills.

This caused the difficulty to increase, they couldn't block the swarm as effectively. They even suffered damages continuously. Grace, Peniel, and the other healer-type players worked hard to keep everyone alive.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Master used his regal outfit's set ability, which was similar to Jack's Judgement of Past Kings. Master's was called the Punishment of Past Rulers.

One by one, the past rulers of Liguritudum appeared and delivered their strongest attacks, killing the night hunters en masse. The others were speechless by such a power.

'Why didn't you use this earlier?' Some complained in their minds.

The truth was, Master had no intention to go all out, certainly not for Jack's sake. He was still unable to understand the point of protecting Jack who only sat and did nothing. With the passing of each minute, he felt like he was wasting time here. Perhaps he should just go his way and search for the exit his way.

"It's almost ten minutes! How much longer does that fool need?!" Master grumbled.

"I said ten minutes. This is not yet ten minutes, so I'm early!"

They heard Jack's voice. They turned and saw Jack had risen.

"This way! Follow me!" He didn't waste time. He knew the situation was urgent.

Grace used the Generosity of Hope to heal everyone's health to full. She had saved this so that it was safer for them while on the move. It was difficult to protect everyone while moving. The Generosity of Hope gave everyone one free life.

Jack opened the way by using his regal outfit's set ability, Judgement of Past Kings.I think you should take a look at

Those who had never seen this skill were again awed when the past kings of Themisphere appeared one by one, decimating the night hunters and clearing the way for them.

"Everyone moves as one!" Jack commanded. "Grace, Spring Crown, protect the rear and make sure no one is being left behind. Uncle Freddie, watch our left side. Tom and Naomi, watch our right!"

Jack didn't bother giving Master any instruction. He knew the ethereal wouldn't listen.

Leading the way, Jack activated Asura. He then used Swords of the Brave and Dances of the Brave. Accompanied by the golden swords, he cut his way through the night hunters who tried to block their way. Now that he no longer had any restrictions, his sword art which was powered by mana manipulation and refined by the improved sword's heart technique easily slayed any night hunters that stood in his way.

Freddie was astounded by Jack's prowess. He didn't realize Jack was this powerful. His mana sense even told him that Jack's mana manipulation was top of the line, almost on par with him and the other old practitioners who had spent a lifetime training this ability.

He wondered why Jack didn't use his mana manipulation when they fought on the first day.

As Jack expected, Master had no intention of moving as a group. He flew above using his demonic wings and headed in the direction Jack had indicated. He instructed his summoned minions to move in the same direction while killing the night hunters, so these minions were still of help to the group.

Flying above, Master's advance was unobstructed. He flew ahead of the group. He was still wondering where Jack intended to take them when he saw a silvery portal not far ahead. His God-eye monocle informed him that this portal was indeed the exit from this pocket world.

Even though an escape was now visible, Master wasn't that thrilled. He was concerned about what Jack had done. Jack had never left his spot ever since he sat on the floor. How did he open this portal?

Jack originally planned to only search for the location of the exit before going there physically with the others. But after being in close vicinity to the exit, he found out that his connection with the mana that formed the links allowed him a shorter time to activate the exit while he was in the incorporeal state. Out of this state, he might need half an hour to one hour to open the portal. Under the incorporeal state, he predicted he only needed ten minutes at most. Hence, he decided to stay incorporeal even when the others were having trouble dealing with the night hunter's swarm.

Master looked back at the group. This was a very good chance to eliminate Jack. He knew Jack would never leave those useless people behind. If he commanded his minions to go aid the night hunters, Jack would be in trouble. Alternatively, he could enter the portal first and use his expertise in rune diagrams to reclose the portal and probably even strengthen it. Jack would then be trapped in this place.

But two things stopped him from doing so. Firstly, the Lightning God Blessing was still within Jack. He needed that divine treasure. If Jack was trapped here, so too was the divine treasure. Secondly, he also needed the divine heritage as a failsafe in case he was pushed to take drastic measures in the future.

The other place where he could get this divine heritage was in Hope's faction, but he had no confidence in going against the natives of that faction. Hope was the strongest God. Inside his faction were also the strongest natives of this world.

So, Master cast his spells, obliterating the night hunters in between Jack's group and the portal, clearing the way for them.
