Chapter 1188 Things Must Be Done
-----
After seeing the exorbitant amount of level up notifications, I felt slightly dizzy, which summed with my exhaustion, was pretty incredible. However, I managed to notice yet another window popping up, this one was much larger... And important.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You and your Party and Allied Forces have completed the {Emergency World Quest}: [Stop The Demon Invasion of the Craftsmanship Competition and Save as Many People as Possible!]
[You have fended off the invasion of the Demons and their allied Undead successfully with the least amount of casualties. All important figures managed to survive, and you've even managed to slay the dreadful Prince of Hell Focalor and the three other Demonic Dukes, each one having their Souls destroyed, they will be unable to be reborn in Hell.]
[There seem to be many clues that point at the Magician Guild being responsible for this tragedy, and the Kingdom of Luminous had been scarred forever with this traumatic incident, perhaps the worst and most destructive since many years ago, when they waged war against many barbarian tribes of the wild lands.]
[Although you defeated the menaces, closed the Undead Gates and Nether Gates, and managed to save as many as possible, the main enemy remains. And with the scars of a terrible terrorist attack, the Luminous Kingdom requires someone to bring them back hope.]
[The Queen and the King are exhausted, and after their child was almost kidnaped, their desire to retaliate is strong, but their mental strength has decreased considerably.]
[Please, in these harsh times, rally these people and show them that there is still hope, and that there are still others like you aiming to overcome these difficulties.]
[The Next World Quest will trigger once the Kingdom takes its decision.]
[Completion Rewards]: [3.000.000.000 EXP] [3.000.000.000 Gold] [Ki Reinforcing Elixir (S Grade)] x50 [Soul Reinforcing Elixir (S Grade)] x50 [Magic Circle Reinforcing Elixir (S Grade)] x50 [Greater Spirit Elixir (S Grade)] x3 [Random Skill Book (A Grade)] x3 [Divine Skill Evolution Ticket (SS Grade)] x1 [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (SS Grade)] x1 [All Skill Slots +1 Ticket (SSS Grade)] x1 [Divine Gear Enhancement Scrolls (SS Grade)] x5 [Divine Potential Cubes (SS Grade)] x5 [Evil Demon Duke Themed Treasure Chest (SS Grade)] x1 [Evil Demon Prince Themed Treasure Chest] x1]
[Because you've reached Max Level, the EXP earned has been stored until your Level Cap increases!]
I didn't even know there could be Emergency World Quests out there, but it triggered upon what happened, well, happened…
The rewards are very generous though, and if it's a party quest, then everyone that participated got similar rewards, I believe.
With this, I could definitely gain a lot more strength, but would it be able to easily close the gap between me and someone at Level 450 who has gained tremendous powers?
I don't know…
Well, it'll have to do, even more because I plan to fight that mage, and probably the Demon king of Death back-to-back.
If the two are working together, I am well aware the Demon King of Death might use the opportunity when we're fighting Merlinus to appear or do something.
His Gate is weakening, so he might try to invade the entire place, or even my own place while we fight the evil magician.
And that's without mentioning all the demons they could unleash… We have to be careful.
For a battle of this tremendous caliber, we need to begin preparations right away.
And one of the most important ones is… evacuating everyone from here.
If we can manage to get almost every single citizen here, the magicians will immediately lose their greatest trump card, holding everyone hostage because their mass-destruction tool, the magician tower, no longer is in the middle of over a million people.
The question is how we can evacuate these people without them realizing beforehand and then trying to attack us.
Well, with this recent event, the people were forcefully evacuated, at least half of it.
While they're still returning…
Maybe we could take advantage of this scenario!
If I use all my spirits and the Domain I spread everywhere to sneakily evacuate everyone.
After all, the fight itself they provoked can be a good excuse, while the Kingdom continues to pretend they're oblivious.
Ugh, at the end, it still a gamble.
There's nothing stopping them from immediately bombarding the castle.
But it seems they're biding their time, most likely because they know they can easily win, huh?
After all, it's an alliance between three powerful factions.
The Magician Tower.
The Undead of the Demon King of Death.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
And the Demons of the Demon King of the End.
Maybe four, if we include the Cultists of the Demon King of Miasma, which were always just part of the Magician Tower at the end.
Even when their leader, the man we fought back home, was actually discriminated, and hated the Magician Tower.
He thought he controlled the cult, but at the end, the man he hated the most was actually working for the cult already, perhaps as its creator, from the very beginning.
This is really… screwed.
Just how deep does Merlinus malice reaches?
It feels like the Demon King of Death is simply taking advantage of the situation though, while the Demons… Merlinus might have been making pacts with them for a long while.
The worst part is that, although we managed to stop their plans, they still were able to ruin the entire competition, and kill innocent people.
They're too good of a team truth be told.
The magicians bring all the resources needed, materials, souls, items, and ways to sneak into places, and more, they can be anywhere, and people will trust them.
The undead of the Demon King of Death provide with endless soldiers, and gates that can spontaneously appear anywhere as long as there's some previous set-up, easily setting everything into chaos.
And the Demons of the Demon King of the End are incredibly powerful, capable of stopping powerhouses and singlehandedly kill the strongest foes whenever the Undead aren't enough. They're also cunning and can manipulate others, take over bodies, and infiltrate.
It's… too much.
However, will the strength we've accumulated, and that we'll continue to do so.
We have to prevail.
Because if we don't…
We'll die.
Everyone will die.
There's… literally nothing else than to cling into hope.
