Chapter 298: Entering the Castle

“Alright, there’s no need to say these unnecessary words. I know my strength.” Audrey chuckled. Her azure eyes sparkled with confidence, making her exceptionally charming. For a moment, Kate and Klein were dumbfounded.

It was not until their teammates called out to them that the two of them reacted and laughed embarrassedly.

“Let’s go and choose a place to train,” Adrian said. There were hundreds of maps in the Knight’s Legion. Each map was a different training ground and was full of challenges.

He had been looking forward to this for a long time.

During training, one could constantly improve and gain a lot of actual combat experience. In addition to training, the Knight’s order would issue a lot of missions every day. Most of them were to kill fierce beasts or search for treasures.

After accepting the mission and completing it, one would receive points, which was also the most crucial factor in advancing to a Knight.

As soon as Adrian’s words came out, the others agreed with him.

“Good, I’ve long wanted to see the training map of the Knights.” Klein agreed happily, his tone full of excitement.

While they were talking, they had already walked into a courtyard. There were hundreds of crystal balls in the courtyard, and each crystal ball was a training ground.

“I heard that the Knights have a very interesting training ground. It’s in an ancient castle, and it’s also the most difficult training ground among the level two Knights.” Cole smiled slyly and said, “How about it? Do you want to give it a try?”

“Of course. If you want to challenge, then challenge the strongest.” Hobart snorted and smiled.

“Okay!” Klein and the others agreed.

Following that, everyone’s gazes fell on Audrey. Although Audrey had only joined the team later, the others seemed to have tacitly acknowledged her as the leader and would seek her opinion on everything.

Audrey pondered for a moment. Seeing that everyone was eager to challenge her, she agreed.

“Then let’s go. I’ve heard that there are many secret chambers in the castle. There’s a fierce beast in each chamber, a total of nine. We can only return after we’ve dealt with all the fierce beasts.”

Klein had already begun to look forward to it, but he was also worried that he would not be able to complete it. Thus, he said, “If we can’t solve it, we can just come back directly.”

“Since we’ve gone, we have to complete it. If we come back directly, we’ll lose points,” Audrey snorted and reminded him jokingly.

The Elders actually set up the beasts in the training ground. Therefore, if they wanted to solve it, they would not have to kill it. That was because the people behind them would not be able to train anymore.

They only needed to fight until they admitted defeat. These beasts had been tamed and would not risk their lives.

“You’re right. Once we go, we have to complete it,” Cole agreed with Audrey.

These words instantly ignited the fighting spirit of the six of them. They crossed their hands and shouted loudly, “Come on!” Then, they entered the ancient castle together.

After a bright light, before they even opened their eyes, they could already sense the dangerous aura of the strong. If it was someone weaker, they would have been scared to the point of being unable to move.

“This castle looks pretty good,” Kate said indifferently.

They were standing outside the gate of the castle. Entering the gate meant that the training had begun.

In front of them was a gate with iron bars. It was filled with a retro aura. When they pushed it open, it made a creaking sound, which was slightly terrifying.

“Be careful,” Audrey reminded them in a low voice as she walked cautiously in front.

Her words did not make sense. After a few steps, many vines quickly appeared from the flowers and plants beside them. They twined around the ground and tried to entangle their ankles.

“It can’t be. They’re making things difficult for us as soon as we entered,” Klein said helplessly with a frown. He used his sword to cut off the vines. Fortunately, the vines here were not difficult to deal with. On the contrary, they dealt with them quickly.

“I thought it would be difficult to deal with, but it turned out to be so easy,” Cole said with a smile.

Audrey snorted and explained, “This is just the beginning. The most important part will definitely come later.”

These words instantly made the few of them even more cautious. After all, Audrey’s words were never in vain. Since she said so, it meant that it would be very dangerous later on.

After walking for a long while, they finally reached the center of the castle. There were secret rooms all around them. Audrey knew that every time a door was opened, a demonic beast would be released.

“Which one should we start from?” This was a question that a few of them were struggling with. If the first one was too strong, they might not be able to handle it.

“Random. Let’s start with this one.” Audrey pointed at a door in front of her and walked forward. She released a stream of combat aura and pushed the door open.

A monster beast quickly rushed out from inside. If it was not for Audrey opening the door, they might have been injured by the monster beast that suddenly rushed out.

However, Audrey’s reaction speed was extremely fast. With a flash, she retreated to a distance away from the monster beast. It was also convenient for her to use magic to attack from a distance.

“Is this the Lion King?” The few of them looked at the monster in front of them with tightly knitted eyes.

“Yes,” Audrey replied.

As the king of the forest, the lion itself had a strong offensive and deterrent power. This was naturally reflected in the Lion King’s body.

That powerful aura made people fear it.

“Kate, Adrian, Hobart, and Cole, you are responsible for close-range attacks. You must be careful.” Audrey quickly divided the tasks. “Klein and I will be responsible for long-range attacks.”

Audrey and Klein were both from the Pharmacy Academy. They were in charge of long-range attacks and would not arouse suspicion. However, Audrey would not be foolish enough to use potions. Instead, she wanted to use magic.

“Alright!” The few of them answered in unison.

The four people attacking at close range were in four different directions of the Lion King, while Klein and Audrey were on the left and right.
