Chapter 452 Chapter452-Kingserp in Disarray
In the special training field of Storm City, Emma continued her battle with Kingserp.
Although Emma was not as strong as Kingserp, with the assistance of SkyStars, they managed to fight him to a stalemate.
SkyStars cleverly brought out the enemy spawning mirror from within the special training field.
This mirror created replicas of various enemies Emma and SkyStars had previously encountered.
These enemies were unfamiliar to Kingserp, forcing him to deal with the mirror-generated foes as well as Emma and SkyStars.
Faced with the continuous appearance of ghost shadows created by the mirror, Kingserp grew increasingly impatient.
He was eager to eliminate these two players as quickly as possible and then rush to the Great Library.
Kingserp had already made an agreement with a figure in black: once he had dealt with all the guards in Storm City's training field, he must hurry to the Great Library.
This was because the main objective of the Dark Faction this time was the Great Library.
All of the Dark Faction's previous actions were aimed at obtaining a particularly important book housed within the Great Library.
The book housed within the Great Library contained numerous powerful spells.
In addition to these spells, the book also provided information and clues about the whereabouts of various Sacred Relics that had the potential to destroy the entire world.
If the Dark Faction could obtain these Sacred Relics, they would be able to launch a formidable assault from the Dark Realm.
Not only could they defeat the Order Faction, but they could also challenge the Mystery faction.
Kingserp gradually realized that he seemed unable to defeat Emma quickly in the battle.
Therefore, he decided to use his magic to prevent Emma and SkyStars from escaping the special training field.
Kingserp stepped back a few paces and raised his wand.
At the same time, he used the dark Druid skill [Enigmatic Fog].
The effect of [Enigmatic Fog] plunged both Emma and SkyStars into a thick mist.
Although they could sense each other nearby, they were unable to locate one another.
Taking advantage of the fact that Emma and SkyStars were unable to take any other actions, Kingserp quickly made his way towards the Great Library.
The route from Storm City's barracks training field to the Great Library required passing by Duke Arsena's palace.
As Kingserp passed the Duke's palace, he took a moment to observe the situation there.
The palace was still shrouded in a dense fog. Duke Arsena seemed to be continuing his attack on the weapons, but he had not managed to completely shatter the barrier.
"As it seems, the strategy of the man in black has been hugely successful. We should be able to obtain that very important book from the Great Library, right?"
Kingserp thought to himself while observing Duke Arsena's palace.
Just then, Kingserp heard a voice he was all too familiar with: "I truly didn't expect you to show up in Storm City again. It seems you haven't learned anything from our previous encounter, have you?"
Kingserp didn't need to turn around; he knew exactly who was behind him.
He would never forget that voice - it belonged to John, the one who had brought him to a low point.
Upon hearing John's voice, Kingserp stopped in his tracks.
He knew very well that if he continued moving forward, John would not hesitate to strike.
Kingserp wasn't clear about John's current level of strength, but if it was anything close to what it was before, Kingserp knew he stood no chance against John in his current state.
"What's the matter? Don't you have anything to say to me? I remember telling you not to show your face before me again.
By appearing before me now, aren't you breaking our previous agreement? It looks like your level has reached 150, hasn't it?
I will make sure your level drops back to zero. You can experience the journey of leveling up from zero once again - consider it a punishment for breaking your agreement with me!"
John's tone became increasingly stern towards the end of his statement.
He harbored an intense dislike for Kingserp. Seeing Kingserp again had significantly soured John's mood.
As Kingserp quietly listened, he immediately pulled out a scroll from his pocket and, without hesitation, tore it apart.
The scroll he used was a teleportation scroll.
After tearing the teleportation scroll, Kingserp was set to be transported to a safe location near the Great Library.
The moment he used the scroll, Kingserp felt the space around him fluctuate, and the next second, he appeared outside the walls of the Great Library.
"John returned to Storm City so quickly; has he already resolved the crisis at Sunset Mountain? Could it be that Karthus has been defeated by him? Why didn't Karthus inform me about this?"
Filled with trepidation and numerous questions, Kingserp leaned against the wall of the Great Library, muttering his doubts to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, John's voice appeared again: "Of course, I've already resolved the situation at Sunset Mountain. Karthus, do you think he's a match for me? The reason Karthus didn't inform you is that he hasn't been able to resurrect yet. After all, an adventurer who has been possessed by a demon doesn't resurrect easily."
The moment John's voice reappeared, Kingserp tore another teleportation scroll without hesitation.
He didn't even fully listen to what John was saying, fully aware that any moment of hesitation could mean his failure to escape.
Faced with Kingserp's continuous use of teleportation scrolls to escape, John didn't have an effective countermeasure.
Although he possessed teleportation spells, they weren't as flexible as teleportation scrolls.
Teleportation spells required the consumption of the player's own MP and the recitation of specific spell incantations.
In contrast, teleportation scrolls were much simpler to use, needing only to be torn to activate the teleportation.
Using his second teleportation scroll, Kingserp transported directly into the Great Library, where he encountered the man in black and other powerful beings whose strength he couldn't fathom.
The man in black showed a puzzled expression at Kingserp's sudden arrival.
He had indeed intended for Kingserp to come to the Great Library, but he hadn't instructed him to use a teleportation scroll.
Even for the man in black, teleportation scrolls were precious.
Had Kingserp become so extravagant as to use them for mere travel?
Sensing the confusion on the man in black's face, Kingserp quickly explained, "I was pursued by John; he was right behind me. We must prepare our defenses immediately!"
Kingserp's words surprised both the man in black and the powerful entities around him.
They hadn't sensed the presence of John, who was extremely powerful, anywhere near the Great Library.
Just as the man in black was about to ask more questions, the doors of the Great Library were pushed open, and John appeared before everyone.
"If I'm not mistaken, this operation was planned by you. I must say, your plan has indeed been very effective. The Defend Wall at Sunset Mountain was almost breached by your attack. If it weren't for my intervention, the Order Faction's defense there would have completely failed. Now, I have only one question: what exactly is your purpose? Did you come to the Great Library just to have a casual chat? If that's the case, may I join your conversation?"
John's expression remained relaxed.
In his view, Kingserp was clearly afraid of him, which meant that the strength of those accompanying Kingserp wouldn't be overly formidable.
The man in black, facing John, also appeared slightly worried.
He had set up a powerful seal magic at the entrance of the Great Library, and John had managed to break through this barrier and enter the library without much delay.
The man in black immediately ordered the powerful entities around him to attack.
These entities, actually demons disguised in human form, revealed their true selves as they attacked John.
Despite facing these demons, John remained calm.
John understood that these demons were of minor importance.
The one who truly warranted his attention was the man in black.
John was certain that Kingserp's return to top-tier status as a player was due to the assistance of this man in black.
