Chapter 638: Chapter 17 Rebellion Skill

The Mind Communication the next day.

“Anyway, that’s what happened,” Sigrdrifa told Aske, “He said that at the ti he lacked the power and could only watch helplessly as his mother was taken away.”

“Do you believe what he said, Sigrdrifa?” dea asked.

“I don’t think he lied.” Sigrdrifa was silent for a mont, then said, “But he definitely has sothing he’s hiding.”

“The most obvious part is that he never asked whether my mother was still alive or exactly how she died.” She laughed bitterly, “You know? If I hadn’t been so indifferent to him all the ti, he wouldn’t even tell these secrets—it’s as if all these things were not worth ntioning.”

“Well, scumbags are all like that,” dea said nonchalantly, “Before they have you, they sweet-talk a thousand ways, but once they get you, they avoid you like the plague, as if all those sweet nothings were spat out of a dog’s mouth.”

Aske: ???

Why does it feel like soone is beating around the bush?

“Of course, this does not affect our cooperation.” dea glanced at Aske and continued, “Regarding our next action plan, Squad Leader, do you want to hear it?”

“Uh.” Aske hesitated for a mont, “No need, you handle it.”

He stood up and walked towards the outside of the manor.

————————

As is well known, “Song of Iron and Fire” is a holographic online ga that, after transitioning into esports elents in its later stages, successfully fostered a large group of esports players.

Esports players and professional gars are different. For the latter, what counts is online duration research spirit, knowing which maps have which instances, which Spiritual Materials have high drop rates, which NPCs are easy to deal with, etc.,—all sorts of ga settings and information have to be morized intimately.

That’s why these professional gars, as they advance into the later stages, often join or create studios to more efficiently explore the resources within the ga.

Esports players, on the other hand, are a different story. They don’t need to understand things like instances, drop rates, materials, quest plots, and NPC character settings—they need only to “fight bravely.” The task of cultivating their characters is handed over to other departnts of the club, so each person’s role becos more specialized.

As a result, once the professional league matured, the young players brought up from the training camp might never have played the “Song of Iron and Fire” online ga at all—the clubs have their private servers where they usually practice without ever logging into the ga.

Only a few people, like the “elder player” Aske, who grew from the online ga in the early days, are sowhat more knowledgeable about the ga’s main storyline and setting.

Of course, this is limited to the information from the early expansions of the ga; they are not so familiar with the later quests.

For example, the Iberian Undead Heavenly Disaster that will occur next year, he had already joined the club at this point in ti, so he only played intermittently, halfway through, not even completing the Minerva Nas instance, and later focused his attention on preparing for the professional esports league.

In other words, as the Church Court campaign ended in the first half of this year, Aske’s knowledge of subsequent plots was decreasing, and with the “Butterfly Storm” he himself set off causing major plot changes, it ant that his advantage as a Prophet was quickly diminishing.

That’s why it was imperative to hand over the team’s external affairs sooner rather than later to dea and Thira, who were better at this kind of work.

As for what followed, Aske naturally focused on leveraging his advantage as a professional player to concentrate on enhancing the overall strength of the team mbers.

Arriving at the training ground, Aske saw Eleanor practicing alone. This Golden-haired Knight lady has always been strictly disciplined; since she started learning the Unyielding Holy Sword last year, she has never missed a day of swordsmanship and Spear Technique practice.

Even after mastering the Holy Sword, she still did not slack off in her morning exercises. Across the field, Eleanor spread her arms, and bright Will flowed rapidly along her arms, forming a Long Spear in her palms.

Holding the Will Long Spear, Eleanor rushed forward and gave a low shout as she perford a standard Dragon Spear stab into the target, then lifted it upwards and flicked her wrist to throw it away.

“Still too slow,” the Knight thought to herself. It took roughly 1.5 seconds for the Will Armor to activate and the weapon to solidify, while Aske’s Conceptual Weapon summoning was almost instantaneous.

“I must hasten to improve my proficiency with this Law Skill…” Thinking thus, Eleanor once again gathered her will, which wound around the fallen target in the distance like tentacles, and repositioned it upright on the ground.

Aske, watching the tangible will spreading from her, suddenly had a premonition of spirituality, and subtly gestured with a finger.

War Law. Rebellion!

Suddenly, the bright will that had resembled tentacles curled back and struck at Eleanor’s neck!

“What’s happening?!” Eleanor exclaid in alarm, utterly shocked that her will ability would spiral out of control and turn against her!

With a flick of her wrist, she conjured a will longsword at an astonishing speed, slashing through the unruly tentacles like lightning.

Hmm, not a bad reaction. With a slight smile, Aske casually walked away, hands behind his back.

After several days of reflection and realization, he had finally regained most of the feeling of using the “Rebellion Skill” from the ga. On a sudden whim, he had tried it on Eleanor, and it had worked smoothly as expected.

Level 14 now, next is Law Embodint, simple.

Leaving Eleanor behind, Aske saw Mia at another training area, tirelessly studying Lancelot’s dagger.

She wielded her Shadow Ability to envelop the dagger in the Shadow Realm and then unwrapped it, repeating this process endlessly, all the while muttering as if possessed:

“Not right… not right… Eh? Not right…”

Unseen by anyone, Aske pointed with his hand. Rebellion!

The Shadow Tentacles that were maneuvering the dagger suddenly went taut, swiftly lashing towards Mia’s ankle. Mia’s reaction speed surpassed Eleanor’s by a significant margin; she didn’t hesitate to flash-step backward over ten ters in an attempt to dodge the shadow’s assault.

However, she overlooked another issue—that the shadow stemd from her own and was attached to her foot. As her body retreated, so did the shadow follow, didn’t it?

Therefore, despite Mia’s astonishing reflexes and speed, she still beca entangled by her own shadow at the ankle and was hoisted upside down, leading her to curse out in frustration and anger:

“Let go! Are you trying to revolt? You damn shadow!”

From a distance, Aske silently shook his head. If you’re bound and controlled, why not just teleport to the Shadow Realm to break free?

Mia’s physical capabilities were indeed exceptional; it’s just a pity her mind didn’t match them. He hoped it was only because she was still young.

Casually disabling the Rebellion Skill, Aske slipped away unnoticed.

Landing on the ground, Mia dazedly attempted to control her shadow again.

Without the influence of the Rebellion Skill, her shadow returned to its docile nature, freely morphing and moving according to her will.

What… what just happened?

Recalling the scene of being suspended by her shadow and her own scolding, Mia was incredulous.

Could it be that I’ve awakened a strange ability where scolding produces results? Similar to how Miel summons that Banshee Queen Minerva?

With this thought, Mia hurried back to her original position and picked up the Lancelot dagger that had fallen to the ground.

“Hand over the secrets of the Ripple Sword now!” she tried to appear angry as she shouted, “You damn dagger, teach the Ripple Sword quickly!”
