21. New Weapon
At a glance, this old and massive tree seemed like just another withered trunk waiting for its final fall. But no one knew that this tree had the ability to hide legendary weapons once owned by great heroes."You're the one being insolent and disrespectful to a guest bearing a message," Shaden said calmly.He then pulled the scythe embedded in the tree’s trunk. "Have you lost your valuable instincts just because you're old? You must've sensed the sacred power left by Mikael, yet you still choose not to believe me."For a moment, the tree in front of him didn’t move. Then, the branches that were touching Shaden’s body suddenly withdrew."How… How did you find my master's weapon? Who are you really?"Shaden smiled. "I already told you—I’m Mikael’s messenger. Didn’t Mikael once say that only the one who could find his scythe and bring it to you would be worthy of receiving his other relics?""That…" The tree appeared conflicted, seemingly unwilling to hand over the item Shaden mentioned.

Dion, can you finish your food now? We'll be arriving at the fifth mission site soon," Shaden asked.He hadn’t expected Dion to enjoy the grilled piranha he had made the night before so much that the boy requested the same dish again this morning.The child looked surprised at first, then nodded repeatedly while swallowing the fish in his mouth.Shaden felt guilty. He gently patted the boy on the shoulder."It's okay! You don’t need to rush. It’s better if we stop here for a bit to prepare our weapons too."Leah spoke up after hearing what Shaden said. “Will the mission begin right after we arrive there?”“No. It’s just that I don’t think we’ll have much time to prepare.”Leah stared at him for a moment before nodding.Shaden smiled. It seemed Leah was starting to understand and accept that he often gave only fragments of information. Maybe she thought he was intentionally being mysterious, but in truth, Shaden himself was uncertain about the information he had.Ever since the inciden

[Mission five update will be carried out within 24 hours. Please rest comfortably until the mission begins again.]"Isn't this the first time a mission has taken this long to restart?" Tery asked.Shaden closed his status window before turning to look at the woman—the one closest to Dion. The boy even preferred holding Tery’s hand over his own father's.“Because humans like us need enough rest and preparation before the next mission begins,” Shaden replied.As they walked, his eyes scanned the surroundings. Their food supply was still enough for a few days, but they needed to gather more before things became truly difficult.“What? What’s going to happen in the fifth mission for you to say something like that?” Leah asked in a panic.Shaden’s eyes glanced at Ricky, who was walking while wiping his armor. In the fifth mission, Ricky’s role would be crucial. In fact, Shaden couldn’t guarantee the survival of the others. He felt that Ricky's arrival at the stadium was as if someone had s

Where did you go again? Will tried to follow you earlier, but he said he couldn’t find you anywhere around here," Leah asked.The woman immediately approached Shaden as soon as she saw her return. For a moment, Shaden stared at the woman—the one who could easily pass as her older sister, judging from their age difference, especially since Leah was always caring and constantly worried about Shaden even though she knew Shaden always received mission updates earlier than the rest."Leah...""Yes? What’s wrong? Are you hurt? Did you just come back from a dangerous place?"Taking a deep breath and then exhaling, Shaden finally told Leah what she needed to know."Dany is dead."For a moment, Leah’s face showed surprise before she looked down with a faint smile."I see.""Aren’t you happy? Do you feel any loss?" Shaden asked.Leah laughed at the question."Do you think that makes any sense? I’m the one who wished for his death more than anyone else." Leah paused, then murmured, "That’s true.
17. Forth mission
“I can’t breathe! The cloth can’t block the poison!”The field, once bright under the sunlight, suddenly darkened and filled with poisonous smoke. Some failed to fend off the gas and died from poisoning, while others scrambled to find a safe place to hide—though they knew that gas could fill any space, no matter how small.Shaden didn’t like the current situation, especially since the mission that was supposed to begin in two hours had started early. Worse, he had lost sight of Dany, who had just been within his reach.[System has detected interference from an external party! Mission difficulty level will be reduced!]The alert surprised everyone, though it also brought relief when several plants disappeared and the toxic fog began to thin. But that didn’t mean the mission had become easy. From the beginning, the poison released by the plants had been lethal if inhaled for too long. It was merely a temporary reprieve before death inevitably claimed them.BANG! BANG!Shaden turned his
16. Mission prepare
“Tody’s wound is worse than the others. I don’t think he’s going to make it.”Shaden glanced over at Tody, who was laid down at the edge of the field. The casualties were more than he had expected after the second wave of goblin attacks controlled by Dany. Although the goblins vanished the moment Dany fled, that didn’t mean the injured and the dead would magically return to how they were.One of them was Tody, who had been bitten on the arm by a goblin. The wound had become infected, causing half of Tody’s arm to rot.“We have to amputate his arm,” said Shaden.His words shocked Will and the others before expressions of regret formed on their faces.“I wasn’t very close to Tody, and right now, he’s not in any condition to make decisions for himself. So it’s your responsibility to decide what to do—let him suffer and die, or cut off his arm and stop the poison from spreading through his body.”Will looked the most shaken after hearing what Shaden said. For a moment, everyone fell silen
