Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye

Luca and his group slowly advanced through the area filled with chaotic energy.

Everyone remained on high alert.

The chaotic energy in this area was so powerful that they were all worried that monsters might suddenly emerge from it.

So, each of them was prepared for battle.

Luca, being the strongest, naturally took the lead.

Behind him was Nova, followed by Evelyn, and finally Fuzzsir.

The four of them moved forward while observing the characteristics of the area.

Under the influence of the overwhelming chaotic energy, various stalactites resembling monster organs grew on the surrounding rock walls.

“Do you think these strange stalactites on the rock walls might suddenly turn into monsters and attack us?” Nova asked Luca with a hint of concern.

“Don’t worry, those are just monsters in the process of gestation. They won’t truly be born until they’ve absorbed enough chaotic energy,” Luca replied, making a judgment based on his knowledge.

In truth, he wasn’t sure whether his judgment was right or wrong.

However, he had to say it this way, because only by doing so could he calm the others and keep them moving forward with him.

Nova slowly nodded.

Although she agreed with Luca’s judgment, she still tightened her grip on the weapon in her hand.

A few minutes later, Evelyn suddenly spoke up.

“Don’t go any further. There’s a serious spatial disturbance ahead.”

As a star mage, she had keenly sensed the spatial disturbance ahead.

Nova and Fuzzsir exchanged a glance.

Neither of them fully believed her judgment. They were waiting for Luca’s response.

Luca, who was walking at the front, turned back to look at the others and said, “There is indeed a spatial disturbance ahead. However, we can’t stop here. Didn’t you notice that the chaotic energy around us is rapidly intensifying?”

At his reminder, the others finally realized that the chaotic energy around them was quickly increasing.

For a moment, the three of them wore terrified expressions.

They all considered themselves to be top-tier in terms of strength, even if they weren’t as powerful as Luca.

They hadn’t expected to be so unaware of the rapid intensification of the chaotic energy.

Fuzzsir asked nervously, “Does this mean that monsters are about to attack us?”

Evelyn scanned the surroundings with clinical detachment. “I don’t see any monsters!”

“I don’t see any monsters either,” Nova agreed.

“The intensification of chaotic energy doesn’t necessarily mean that monsters will attack us immediately,” Luca quickly responded. “I’m only warning you because I feel that if we keep moving forward, we’ll be very close to a major discovery.”

He hoped that by saying this, he could eliminate any doubts the others might have.

Evelyn was the first to respond. “If that’s the case, then let’s move forward quickly. If we make a significant discovery, we can return and report back.”

Her priority was mission completion above all else.

Although Zovland had previously told her to sabotage Luca during their mission, Evelyn was a very rational person.

After entering the dangerous area, she had realized how difficult it would be to complete this task.

If she followed Zovland’s instructions and tried to sabotage Luca, they all could end up dead in this place.

Luca gave Evelyn an appreciative glance.

“That’s right! Only by gathering enough intelligence can we leave this dangerous area. We can’t go back and tell the people who sent us that we found nothing, can we?”

Since things had been said this clearly, Fuzzsir didn’t hesitate any longer.

“Alright, let’s move forward quickly! The sooner we find useful information, the sooner we can get out of this disgusting place!”

Fuzzsir recoiled from the chaotic energy like a vampire from garlic.

Although he used necromantic power himself, he believed that necromantic power and chaotic energy were fundamentally different.

In his view, necromantic power could be used by humans, but chaotic energy could never be harnessed by them.

After the other three agreed, Nova reluctantly followed.

She was also curious about what major discovery Luca had mentioned.

With that, the group moved toward the dangerous area.

Everyone prepared for a possible monster attack.

The moment they stepped into the spatial disturbance area, Luca immediately sensed the presence of many monsters around them.

“Get ready for battle, the enemies have appeared!”

He quickly warned the others, and without hesitation, he used his Starseeker ability to attack the nearest monster.

The blade of Starseeker collided directly with the fangs of a giant magic wolf.

In that instant, Luca assessed the true strength of the massive creature.

This giant magic wolf was at level 68 and had been further enhanced by chaotic energy.

He suddenly realized that this battle would be incredibly difficult.

In a short amount of time, a large number of monsters appeared around Luca.

These monsters eagerly rushed at him, attacking relentlessly.

Although only a small portion of these monsters were strong enough to pose a threat to him, the sheer number of them was overwhelming.

Even Luca couldn’t afford to divert his attention to protect the safety of his teammates.

As Luca was being attacked, the other three also came under assault by monsters.

Nova, wielding a specially made pistol, continued to fire at the monsters closest to her.

Beside her, Evelyn raised her staff high, forming a barrier made of starlight energy that enveloped both herself and Nova.

Two meters away, Fuzzsir was locked in combat with a giant mantis-like monster, using his skeleton staff.

None of them had anticipated being attacked by such a large-scale monster force.

The battle didn’t last long, but the pressure they were under quickly became overwhelming.

Evelyn and Nova were already giving their all, using almost every trick in their arsenal.

But their efforts weren’t achieving much.

Even though some monsters were killed, a large wave of new monsters would always rush in to take their place.

“This doesn’t feel right! Why are there so many monsters here?! Even if the chaotic energy in this area is so strong, it shouldn’t be able to produce so many monsters. There must be a monster nest nearby,” Nova said, urgently revealing crucial information.

The existence of the monster nest was actually something only Zenith Technology Company was aware of.

Most humans, including Luca, believed that monsters were directly born from chaotic energy.

Evelyn immediately shouted at Luca, “We’ve confirmed the presence of a monster nest! With our current strength, we won’t be able to destroy it! We should retreat immediately!”

Although Fuzzsir didn’t speak, it was clear he agreed with Evelyn’s assessment.

Luca, who was fighting at the front, slowly broke into a smile.

Not only had he achieved his objective, but he had also made an unexpected discovery.

Before the mission began, Luca and Sophia had devised a plan to create a chaotic area filled with various types of energy deep within the tunnel.

All Luca had to do was lead the others into this area, and he could announce that he had made a major discovery.

At that point, he would be able to logically lead everyone out. No one would question what was inside the tunnel anymore.

This way, the Origin Holy Grail would remain undiscovered by others.

The discovery of the monster nest saved Luca the effort of creating the chaotic energy area.

He could easily use the monster nest as his “major discovery.”

At the same time, he could lead the group in retreat while drawing all the monsters out of the nest.

That way, Morning Star, in order to ensure the Imperial Capital wouldn’t be attacked by monsters again, would have no choice but to completely seal off the tunnel entrance.

This would make it even less likely that the Origin Holy Grail would be found by anyone.

“More monsters are coming at us! We need to escape immediately!” Luca shouted quickly to the others.

At the same time, holding both Starseeker and Obsidian, he pushed through the many monsters and made his way to Nova and Evelyn.

“Stop engaging with these monsters! We need to get out quickly! Then we must figure out a way to completely seal the tunnel!”

Luca swiftly activated the fire magic runes. With the aid of the flames, he successfully led Nova and Evelyn to Fuzzsir.

The group gathered together and began fleeing toward the tunnel entrance at the fastest possible speed.

Behind them, a large number of monsters were hot on their heels.

Meanwhile, Luca once again heard Zenobia’s furious and crazed voice.

“You will never escape! I will leave you here to suffer eternal torment!”

The group could all hear the insane shrieks.

They were slightly curious, but none of them understood what exactly had happened between Luca and the owner of the screams.

However, in the current situation, there was no time to ask Luca about it.

The four of them reached the tunnel entrance in just a quarter of an hour.

Just as they were about to arrive at the tunnel’s entrance, Luca shouted loudly toward the outside.

“Prepare to seal the tunnel immediately! There are a lot of monsters inside, and we absolutely cannot let them escape the tunnel!”

The guards at the tunnel entrance turned pale.

They hadn’t expected that more monsters would emerge from the tunnel again.

Melania immediately gave an order to the captain of the nearby guard.

“Prepare to seal the tunnel! Once they’ve all come out of the tunnel, seal it completely without hesitation!”

“Understood!”

The guards at the tunnel entrance, along with the members of Morning Star, sprang into action.

They quickly set up various sealing devices around the entrance to the tunnel.

As soon as these devices were activated, the entrance to the tunnel would be sealed off rapidly.
