Chapter 681 Layla's Ingenuity
With the departure of the Dark Reaper, Vicente was left alone while his people gathered the remaining resources of the facility.
'I wonder why he was here,' Vicente thought.
'He probably came in search of ghosts or other creatures. Dark Reapers are born hunters. But since he broke into this post, he might have already known about this place. That could be an indication of what we'll find in the near future. Let's be more careful next time.' Torne warned his master.
'Maybe others like him have already cleared places like this or dominate such places.' Vicente pondered, feeling that they really should be more careful. Let's spend some time visiting these posts.
'It will be good for the group to strengthen a bit before we continue exploring the secret altars.'
He had to make a one-way trip and a return trip. On the way back, his group would definitely be stronger, as long as they didn't suffer any significant losses in their hunt.
Therefore, Vicente thought it would be better to move on without further stops like today until they had improved their strength with new pentagrams.
He soon left the training ground where the Dark Reaper had been and found Layla waiting for him for a serious talk.
Just as he was about to join his people celebrating the resources they had obtained, Layla pulled him into a dark corner with a few questions in mind.
"What's going on, Vicente? I get the feeling you're more interested in the Cataclysm Order than you should be. You already got the cursed item from those people, and now you're exploring secret areas of the order... What are you planning?" She asked him with a clearly worried expression on her face.
Except for Rory, Onyx, Casey and Sarah, none of the others in the group knew exactly what the place they were about to enter was about.New n0vel chapters are published on
But when they arrived and realized that it was one of The Vile Altars, Layla couldn't help but feel uneasy.
That was one of the outposts of what was once the largest organization of Dark Path magicians on the continent!
"The after doesn't matter. Will we be alive then?" He asked her, narrowing his eyes as he looked at her. "Let me ask you something: what would happen if I were a Dark Path magician without you knowing? Would I stop being what I am if you found out?"
She clenched her fists, recognizing Vicente's test. "If you were a magician of the Dark Path, I would give up my religion. You're my man, so I won't leave you. But since I'd be standing next to someone like that, I couldn't continue being what I am for my organization."
She looked at him silently for a moment and asked. "Why did you ask that?"
"I wanted to know your priorities. Don't be so naive as to think that your superiors care about you. As long as you are useful, they will appreciate you. But as soon as you're no longer helpful, you'll be replaced by someone else. That's how the great powers of the continent work." Vicente commented to her before leaving her alone to think.
He soon arrived at Rory's side and listened to the number of resources and artifacts they had managed to collect.
As much as the Dark Reaper had consumed what was best there, there were still resources and 4th-grade artifacts in the area.
In less than 15 minutes, everything had been collected, until Vicente divided the group into those who would meditate to recover from the previous battle, and those who would keep an eye on the area.
They would stay in this location for a full day, long enough for the whole group to recover and for Vicente to build a 4th-
grade robot armor to stay in this location and guard it for the Fuller family.
A little over 24 hours after arriving there, the group set off in a northerly direction, where they would travel until they entered the Kingdom of Aldoria.
This was a two-week journey for a group with the strength of Vicente's team, so they had a long and winding road ahead of them after leaving this secret outpost of the order.
However, once they left the Chutha Dynasty, the group would be much closer to their goals. In the far north of the Kingdom of Aldoria, on that state's border with the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn, was the first area where they could hunt pentagrams and have special cultivation opportunities!
It would take them at least a month to cross the entire Kingdom of Aldoria, but as soon as they finished their journey, they would reach their first stop for hunting pentagrams!
