The game has become a real alternate world

In the Safro Kingdom.

Once the Count's territory.

Blake rode on a Land Bird, with his Knight's Longsword imbued with Holy Light, fiercely slashing forward.

The blade imbued with Holy Light split the enemy's shield and left a long, narrow wound on their chest.

However, the attribute of Holy Light was too restraining for the opponent, causing them to scream in pain, clutch their chest, and fall off the horse.

Blake's Land Bird had golden-yellow feathers, and he named it Yellow Ball.

Yellow Ball lifted its massive claw and stomped directly onto the head of the enemy lying on the ground.

The powerful stomp twisted the enemy's head, and the sharp claws left bloody holes on it.

Blake looked at a Dwarf being besieged by three enemies.

"Yellow Ball!"

With his shout, the Land Bird beneath him, in perfect harmony, sprinted quickly and delivered an aerial kick, sending two of the enemies flying.

Taking this opportunity, the Dwarf swung a Heavy Hammer with a mighty blow, sending the remaining enemy flying away.

Blake extended his left hand and flicked it at the person, sending out a ball of Holy Light.

This was actually the skill Emergency Healing, with a strong healing effect attached by the Holy Light.

The Dwarf, who originally had only 1/3 of their Blood Volume left, was suddenly boosted to more than half, reaching a relatively healthy level.

After finishing off the two enemies that had been kicked away, Blake lifted his head to look at the surrounding battle situation.

They, who had originally been blocked and besieged, now had the upper hand, leaving the enemies reduced to less than half.

On their side, due to datafication, there was almost no chance of morale dropping, coupled with the Profession System.

Though a few Night Watchers were covered in blood and looked extremely tragic, their fighting behavior suggested their Blood Volume hadn't yet bottomed out.

Since some Dwarfs had also learned Emergency Healing, they maintained a relatively stable status through mutual treatment.

Soon the enemies were completely cleared out.

"Quickly clean up the battlefield, there's a pursuing force behind us, don't let them catch up."

The Night Watchers moved swiftly, even after fierce battles, handling everything with dexterous speed.

Some decent-looking equipment was stripped off, and a simple body search was performed.

A letter was found on the leading officer and was handed to Blake.

Blake opened the letter to have a look.

It clearly stated that this group should return to defend, as there were enemies eyeing a fragment of the Stone of Creation.

It seemed to indicate that a fragment in Giant Rock City needed special protection.

Getai, who came over, also took a look at the letter, awaiting Blake's decision after reading.

George and others also checked it.

This instantly caused a dilemma among everyone.

They knew well that the fragment could directly enhance their Blessing.

For instance, the current Profession System, very crucial for those who advanced from Level Three.

"Perhaps... should someone go back to deliver the information to Kana and the others?"

Blake shook his head and refused straightforwardly: "Continue according to the original plan, ignore these, it might be a trap.

Even if someone goes back, there's no guarantee they can rendezvous with Their Highness."

Since Blake said so, the others had no more to add, though they felt it was a pity, Blake was their leader now.

At least among the Night Watchers, Blake held substantial prestige, considering he led almost every Night Watcher present during the oath taking.

Also, Kana had a lot of trust in him.

"Pack up and let's continue, take a larger detour, the enemy is surely trying to encircle us.

They want to block us back, don't let them succeed."

Originally, the journey which would take less than a day to return to Gray Mountain was now taking several days, yet they still hadn't bypassed it.

Mainly because various enemy troops started blocking them along the way.

Even though the enemies weren't strong, it took some time to escape from them, forcing them unknowingly to start circling around the Count's territory.

Fortunately, Blake was very familiar with the terrain in this area, able to judge enemy blockade positions and attempt detours through them.

The most pressing were the pursuers at their back, relentlessly following them.

Several times, Blake could spot the enemies from afar.

But this also indicated their tactic of attracting enemy attention was quite successful.

Likely relieving a lot of pressure from Kana and the others.

Although they didn't know exactly what Kana and the others were planning, this grouping clearly indicated relying on elite squads for a strong breakthrough.

...

In Giant Rock City.

Cynthia stood atop the castle's high tower, overlooking the entire city.

A blood-colored bat swiftly descended from the sky, stopping by her side, bringing the information she desired.

"Has the team carrying the information been annihilated? The information has also been transmitted...now let's see if my son will be attracted?"

To be honest, she wasn't guaranteed.

She thought the chances weren't high, as it seemed too obvious.

It would be hard to deceive her cunning son, so she laid out the real one, trying to increase a bit of hope.
