The whole world around this fort was covered with huge armies of those giant soul suckers and giant demons. So, I took my shield first, while and my demoness were tasked by killing these soul suckers, as my demon had to kill those bastard clones of his son.
Through the process I started to pay attention to the contribution points. They were rising by killing those two enemies, much more than killing normal demons.
"At least I can reap benefits by killing them," I muttered as I was now focusing on a single thing alone, amassing a great amount of contribution points.
I was sure my enemies were trying their best to do the sa, and now I was in a dilemma regarding this. "Should I ask others to move their points to ?" I wondered, as I didn't have this selfish arrogant nature of the nobles.
My players all trusted , and I was pretty sure if I asked this of them, they wouldn't hesitate to offer all their points up to . "Is it better to make a lone fighter; a single witch facing the disaster like my ancestor, or I should try my own philosophy then, and work with a team?"
This was the current dilemma I had. Apparently, my thoughts were leaning towards ignoring the solitary path, and walking on the path I already chose before; the teamwork path!
The witch had tried that once, being alone and mighty, aloof from helping anyone else, and see what happened to her! She was crushed at the end, her grand last hope plan was smashed, and only I was the only hope for any victory.
"Screw this, I won't follow the steps of a failure! She tried this and failed, and as such I won't succeed if I tried it too. I will choose my next allies carefully then and will prepare a small surprise of my own for my enemies."
When I reached this conclusion, I was relieved, strangely like I was already yearning to take such a path. "Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with , but I'm sure all the secrets will be revealed later."
I was pretty sure that I wasn't just a simple princess from a remote kingdom; I was sothing far greater than that! my destiny was unfolding in a way I never planned for or even imagined.
"This witch," I softly shook my head, while keeping my own disturbed emotions about her for myself. This mysterious being had grown from being re legendary fairy tales told to for the first ti on the tongue of Shin, to being soone so crucial to my survival, and the survival of everyone else.
And those vague words of those old lizards made it worse! I even didn't know if she was really dead, or she was watching from the shadows, laughing at .
As I decided my next steps, I sent a ssage to Aria asking about their current location. I hurriedly left them, and went all the way to here, crossing a couple of layers, skipping many battles.
'We are in layer eighteen, in the middle of it,' she simply replied, and I sent back:
'I'm clearing layer twenty now. I want to assign a mission for you.'
'What mission?'
'Make notes on the performance of our elders and vices. Also if there are any notable players you noticed, write down their nas and state their achievents.'
'A preparation for a celebration ceremony perhaps?'
I helplessly smiled, with bitterness over my face. She was still deluded, like others, like before eting the old lizard, by all this crusade. 'Sure, just keep it a secret for ,' I had to lie, as it wasn't easy to tell soone in the middle of their triumph that they lost; lost everything!
I couldn't do that, not in that cold ssage way!
'Sure, wait for us then.'
I closed the chat with her before returning to the brutal fight. The layer didn't only contain the soul suckers and large demons; it also had many forts with noble players defending them plus many normal ground and flying demons in areas void of the two giant enemies of mine.
And I didn't let a single living escape the clutches of , my demoness, and my demon.
My eyes were already used to sticking to the contribution points; which now were in hundreds of millions. I was pretty sure that most of these points ca from the devastation my spear artifact did while attacking layer fifteen and sixteen from before.
"My artifacts," I sighed, as this was another issue I had to think about. The old lizard was stingy to give only one item, so I could only bring one artifact with .
"It's not the issue of what I should bring, as I already know what is better than most; however it's just a regret to lose all others and not be able to use them, sigh."
I was feeling pain from losing all these artifacts, cool artifacts, while I just needed them. If I was short minded, then I would definitely aim for sothing to boost my strength at the beginning, like my spear or my demon's sword artifacts.
However, I knew even if they were useful at so point, later on they would lose their importance.
Besides why then I was working so hard to amass points?
"I should keep regular players here to harvest contribution points before the apocalypse," I thought to myself while thinking of the short duration of one month period I currently had.
Crossing the layers to reach layer twenty five will take roughly a month, which ant I might not be able to clear all the layers to the mystic art society.
"Or to kill all these traitors." My eyes shone with cold light when I recalled how deep their treason went! These rats shouldn't be allowed to reap the fetid fruits of their betrayal! Over my dead body!!
