537 Chapter537-The Lingering Shadow of Kingserp

"I'm truly relieved to see you've returned so swiftly. I feared you might have encountered insurmountable crises after heading to South Harbor. To be honest, I've always held a deep mistrust towards adventurers like yourself. Despite your top-tier strength, you remain an adventurer, do you not? I had assumed you would seize this opportunity to flee. Yet, who could have anticipated not only would you aid South Harbor in overcoming its threats, but you also ventured to the Naga tribe and secured the assistance of a Legend Magus."

Natasha's tone remained calm, yet her facial expressions conveyed her genuine pleasure. After all, securing the support of two top-tier powerhouses was crucial for her.

John did not dwell on this matter, understanding that Natasha, much like Duke Arsena, harbored little trust in adventurers. His primary concern was to discuss the defense strategy for Storm City, as he anticipated the assaults from the Dark Faction to intensify and become increasingly difficult to repel.

"I'm not concerned with your opinion of me. What really matters to me now is how we are going to defend Storm City. Where has Duke Arsena gone? Without him, how can we continue our defense? Has Duke Arsena lost faith in Storm City, or has he decided to abandon Storm City and return to the capital of the Northern Myst Empire?"

John's mood was understandably not the best. In his view, he had already given his all, so why were others not willing to fully cooperate? Natasha was taken aback by John's anger but found no fault in the questions he posed. She, too, was searching for Duke Arsena and was perplexed by his sudden disappearance. To Natasha, Duke Arsena was a very rigid and dutiful individual, a Paladin who would unlikely abandon Storm City to flee alone. It was highly probable that Duke Arsena had encountered some trouble.

"I don't know where Duke Arsena has gone either. I intended to discuss the defense strategy for Storm City with him. However, upon my arrival at his palace, I found no sign of him. More importantly, it seems Duke Arsena might be in some trouble. He mentioned he had more pressing matters to attend to, but when I inquired about the nature of these matters, he provided no response. That's why I'm here."

Natasha's words heightened the sense of urgency for John and Shatras, suggesting Duke Arsena might have fallen into a trap. "We must locate Duke Arsena as soon as possible. He is the lord of Storm City, and it's crucial that he remains here. Without him, the defense of Storm City is surely compromised."

John recognized the importance of maintaining confidence among the Order Faction's members in the current situation. If the lord of Storm City, Duke Arsena, was missing, how could the other members maintain their morale? A loss of confidence would inevitably lead to Storm City's fall to the Dark Faction, a scenario that had played out many times before. John understood that confidence was paramount, both for NPCs and players.

This situation directly led to the gradual failure of the Order Faction's defense on the walls of Storm City. Kingserp could even see some of the Dark Faction's demons climbing up the walls.

After seeing this scene, Kingserp naturally appeared very pleased. Because this meant that his plan had been greatly successful, and it also meant that he could seek revenge against John.

"John, you can't be too arrogant for too long. With the support of the Order Faction, you've gained such immense power, and I can also gain tremendous power with the help of the Dark Faction. After Storm City is captured, I will undoubtedly receive more rewards. With the assistance of numerous Sacred Relics at that time, I can eliminate you one-on-one.

You better not be eliminated prematurely by other opponents! If you get eliminated by others before our showdown, I will be very disappointed."

After uttering these words, Kingserp immediately transformed into a dark mist. He concealed himself within the shadows, hoping to continue hiding until the Dark Faction's plan succeeded. After all, for Kingserp, being too brazen would surely draw the attention of Order Faction members. Although he believed he could eventually raise his power to match John's, he had to be cautious for the time being.

However, at least in the current situation, Kingserp felt that he was still far inferior to John. He needed to temporarily avoid John for now.

While evading John, Kingserp also observed the situation in Storm City. He realized that the city's defense was indeed in a state of complete failure. Almost all of the top-notch experts had inexplicably left the city's walls. This meant that Storm City's defenses were about to be breached by the Dark Faction. Once the city lost its walls' protection, it would be impossible to hold it successfully. So, Kingserp didn't need to be too impatient; he just had to patiently await the Dark Faction's eventual success. fr eewebn ovel.com

Kingserp remained unaware that within the vast expanse of the Great Library, an individual harbored an even greater fervor for the triumph of the Dark Faction. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝒃𝙣𝓸𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝓶
