The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 252 - The plan

252: The plan

252: The plan

If need be, they would have to take a vote on the plan.

Alix was putting their opinion into consideration because this was a guild task.

If she was alone, she would be half-way through the task already.

Impatient to get started, she looked at the others, one by one, studying their faces and reading their reactions.

As usual Dark death did not let her down and the assasin surrendered first.

“You are the leader and you have won one final battle before so, I will follow your lead.”

Alix looked at Bichu then and the sword warrior nodded.

Last was Hero.

She was more headstrong than the other two.

If anybody would be vocally against this plan, it was the paladin.

“It’s just you now.” Alix told her.

“Let’s do it.” She spread her wings.

Alix opened a teleportation scroll and the four held hands.

Together, they disappeared from where they were.

As soon as they disappeared, a figure formed out of one of the shadows of the trees that was on the ground.

It was a small black skeleton figurine which disappeared in the air and appeared elsewhere, on tower ground.

It landed on the shoulder of the necromancer and whispered something.

In turn, the necromancer looked at the seven members of his guild, including Alix’s arch nemesis, the elf.

The necromancer opened his mouth and said, “I know where they are going.

Verka, you were right about the bard possibly finding a short cut.”

Alix’s incredible luck had not gone unnoticed by the other players and most assumed that it was because of her character.

Some players had even tried to change and play as bards but the game rejected it.

According to the rules, only one character could exit in the same world at the same time.

There could not be more than one bard.

The elf, Verka had chosen members of his guild carefully, even poaching from other guilds where necessary.

He was an excellent strategist and he had asked the necromancer to use his avatar to spy on Alix and her group.

He clearly recalled that while others had been flying blindly during the fight with the bandits, she had flown simply as if she knew her way around that fortress.

So, he calculated the odds and figured that she might have extra knowledge on the tower grounds.

When no member of her guild blindly rushed forward to get beyond the gate, he knew she had a plan.

But, if she noticed that he was spying, she would not reveal what it was.

So, he followed his original plan while waiting to hear about hers and it had paid off, it seemed.

The elf smiled slyly and asked, “Where?”

“The field of dead souls.

Their group has one larger map that they pieced together from fourteen parts.

According to her, there is a portal in the field which leads to the top of the tower.

But, they used a teleportation scroll so we can’t follow their path.” The necromancer replied.

The elf stopped moving and squatted down on the ground quickly.

Above them, a group of dark crows was approaching, so they needed to move quickly.

“Bring out your maps, lets try joining ours and locate the field.

They should not take down that final boss before us.

I will not lose to that unskilled music player.”

Contrary to what the elf thought, Alix was fully aware that they were being watched thanks to the system.

And she was not the only one that knew.

Hero had detected the dark magic watching them because of her nature.

Dark death was aware because shadows were her expertise.

If something so much as trembled in a shadow, she knew.

“Someone was watching us.” She blurted out the moment they touched down.

Alix did not respond to that immediately because the creatures waiting to be slayed in the field came to life as soon as they sensed invaders.

“Nobody should wait for anyone.

The portal is in the middle of the field.

If you get there, go ahead of us.

It doesn’t matter who lands the final blow as long as it’s one of us.

Also, don’t kill everything.

We should leave something for those who are coming after us.

Remember the goal is not to slaughter as many monsters as we can, it’s to get to the top of the tower.” She yelled.

As an avid gamer, she knew how much fun killing monsters was.

There was a rush of power which came when you were on a roll.

At times, that rush could blind one into forgetting their mission.

Immediately after saying that, the flute touched her lips.

She didn’t bother with any of the happy tunes, going straight for the song of deep sleep.

She had given her guild members enchanted amulets to stop the spell from affecting them.

She was ruthless, playing the sharpest notes with the aim to slaughter as many monsters as possible in their sleep.

Alix stepped on the head of her dragon and it flew up.

She went for the bonehead serpents and Long, her dragon followed course, spitting fire like a bottomless furnace.

His fire made the field of dead souls which was a dark cemetery brighter.

Another source of light was the cleansing holy light spell which Hero was chanting.

The bright white light was so blinding and it provided a distraction which frightened the monsters but gave the women an advantage.

When it came to numbers however, the monsters were at a higher advantage because there were more of them.

This development worried Alix because their they would run out of energy before taking out the monsters.

It was if for every snake that she killed.

two more would take it’s place.

“Bring the images closer.” She told the system.

She noticed that the ones which were injured but survived death would shimmer, vibrate and then another serpent would appear.

“They are splitting.” she gasped.

She was not the only one with a splitting monster problem.

Bichu’s ghouls were doing the exact same thing.

Dark death was fighting alongside her but they were being outnumbered.

“Guild leader, my wolfie has been killed.” Dark death called out desperately.

Her power had been halved, at this rate, they would not survive the field of dead souls.

They would have to die and try gain after being respawned.

Alix’s mind had to move quickly in search of a solution.

“System, new strategy.”

“Poison.” The system suggested.

“Retreat for now, I am dumping poison on the field.” she yelled out.

She didn’t even know if it would work because the dark wizard was the same individual that had poisoned the fruits and trees and animals, causing mutations.

Hero appeared next to her and she said, “I will help.”

Alix dumped different types of poison on the ground and Hero fanned it with a wind spell.

Both of them didn’t wait to see if it would take effect and they started flying towards the middle of the field as quickly as they could.

Even if the poison worked, they knew that it would only be momentarily.

It could not hold the monsters back for so long.
