Chapter 447 447-Kingserp’s Ambush
Chapter 447 447-Kingserp's Ambush
Deep within the training field of Storm City's barracks, Emma and SkyStars were advancing rapidly.
They knew that time was of the essence; the faster they moved, the higher their chances of staying safe.
They managed to bypass many of Storm City's guards, all of whom were rushing outward to defend the city.
Just as they were about to reach the entrance to the final special training field, Emma abruptly halted.
This sudden stop took SkyStars by surprise.
To SkyStars, their situation seemed dire, and it was crucial to enter the special training field, which, as Emma had told him, could ensure their safety with its array of mirrors.
"Why have you stopped? Didn't you say our situation is extremely dangerous? We should hurry into the special training field," SkyStars asked urgently.
Emma didn't respond immediately to his pressing questions.
Instead, she remained vigilant, carefully observing their surroundings.
"Have you spotted some danger? If you have, can you tell me now? Although my level isn't that high, I can still offer some help," SkyStars offered sincerely.
He was aware of the perilous situation and wanted to provide whatever assistance he could.
His eagerness to help was genuine, born from the realization of the grave dangers they faced.
Emma, still scanning their surroundings, was weighing their options.
Her hesitation suggested that she suspected an ambush or a hidden threat near the special training field.
In such tense moments, each decision could mean the difference between safety and peril.
Despite SkyStars' persistent questions, Emma remained silent, deep in thought.
SkyStars, growing impatient, desperately wanted answers.
Just as he was about to press further, Emma suddenly turned back to him, signaling him to be quiet.
Emma's gesture heightened SkyStars' sense of danger; he realized that she must have had a good reason for such caution.
Deciding not to question her further, he followed her lead, scanning their surroundings for anything unusual.
At that moment, both Emma and SkyStars noticed something odd about a mirror located at the entrance to the special training field.
They exchanged a look of concern. Emma, being the higher-level player, took the lead and cautiously approached the peculiar mirror.
Stopping a safe distance from the mirror, Emma pulled out a powerful Fire Spell scroll from her backpack.
Even as a high-level fire magus, given the complexity of the situation, she preferred to use her strongest skills.
Without hesitation, Emma activated the scroll and hurled it towards the special mirror.
The scroll exploded upon contact, creating a massive blast that shook the entire training field.
Interestingly, neither the Storm City guards defending the training field nor the invading devils seemed to react or move towards the explosion.
Both Emma and SkyStars were taken aback by the sudden explosion.
Emma knew the power of her Fire Spell scroll well enough to understand that it shouldn't have caused such a massive blast.
SkyStars, unaware of the specific capabilities of the scroll Emma had used, was clearly able to see the shock on her face.
"You two are far too weak! Without John, you stand no chance of accomplishing anything!" A chilling voice suddenly echoed behind Emma and SkyStars.
Turning around with heightened vigilance, they were confronted with the sight of Kingserp, his face twisted in a cruel smile.
Emma recognized him and knew very well that he was an adversary.
Although SkyStars had never met Kingserp, the hostility in his expression was unmistakable.
Emma didn't retreat further.
She understood that she had to prepare for any attack from Kingserp, and she knew SkyStars wouldn't be much help in this situation.
"You don't need to bother countering my attack because you simply can't succeed," Kingserp said calmly, showing no rush to attack. It seemed he was confident in his victory.
Taking a few steps forward, Kingserp stopped a short distance from Emma and SkyStars.
"Look around you. The Storm City guards are all engaged in battle with the devils. Do you really expect them to come to your aid? They are overwhelmed as it is, so how can they help you? If you want to ensure your safety, you'll have to cooperate with me. I don't want to eliminate you two; there's no benefit in that for me. All I want is information about John."
As Kingserp mentioned John, a firm resolve appeared on Emma's face.
Having been saved by John several times before, she was determined not to betray him.
Kingserp's presence and his demand for information about John put Emma and SkyStars in a perilous situation.
With the guards preoccupied and little chance of external help, they had to tread carefully, balancing the immediate threat from Kingserp with their loyalty to John.
"Tell us what you want to know, and if we have the information, we'll share it with you," Emma said in a seemingly casual tone, which took SkyStars by surprise.
"Have you lost your mind? How can you even think of helping him?" SkyStars exclaimed in disbelief. "We should be figuring out how to defend against his attack, not aiding him. We absolutely cannot give him any help."
Although SkyStars' collaboration with John had been brief, he found it immensely beneficial and was grateful for John's help.
The idea of betraying John was unthinkable to him, and he felt compelled to intervene when he perceived Emma's apparent willingness to cooperate with Kingserp.
However, Emma's expression remained unchanged as she continued to address Kingserp, "What's the matter? Don't you believe what I'm saying?"
Kingserp, for his part, was somewhat taken aback by the ease with which Emma seemed to agree to his request.
He suspected there might be some deceit at play and decided to test her with a question to which he already knew the answer.
"I'm pleased to hear your willingness to cooperate," Kingserp said cautiously.
"My first question is about John's level. How high is it exactly? And does he possess any other Divine Skills?"
Emma responded with a smile, "If you don't even know this, then I'd suggest you not to challenge John. You're simply no match for him. John has already reached level 275, the highest among all players. And yes, he certainly has other Divine Skills, but I'm not entirely clear about all of them."
Emma's answer aligned with the information Kingserp had, indicating that at least on this matter, she wasn't lying.
Kingserp, after a moment of contemplation, pressed on with his questioning: "What is John's weakness? I know he has been trying to cover up his biggest vulnerability. It must be related to the Mystery Faction, right? What do you know about the Mystery Faction? Tell me everything."
Kingserp was eager to learn John's weakness, but he also seemed to sense that Emma might not know it.
Therefore, he shifted his focus to the Mystery Faction.
Emma nodded slightly, "I'm not entirely sure about John's weakness. As a powerful top-tier player, how could he easily expose his vulnerabilities? However, I do have some information about the Mystery Faction. I can share all I know about them with you, but you need to come closer. This information is extremely sensitive, and I can't risk others overhearing it. Even SkyStars here shouldn't know about it."
Kingserp found himself in a dilemma upon hearing Emma's response.
He was torn between his desire to learn more about the Mystery Faction from Emma and his fear that she might take the opportunity to attack him.
