Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple Chapter 166 165-Dissuasion and Testing (2nd update, Cheer me
Chapter 166 Chapter 165-Dissuasion and Testing (2nd update, Cheer with Power Stones!)
Within the spacious rcenary Hall, a silence fell. John's last statent echoed in the vast room.
All the players present were stunned, looking at John in disbelief, their eyes filled with astonishnt.
And it wasn't just the players - the employees of the rcenary Hall also turned their heads towards John, their faces mimicking expressions of having seen a ghost.
Saphir stayed silent for a long while, then finally burst into hearty laughter, so much so that tears were about to flow from his eyes.
He stared at John with an incredibly sarcastic look, not uttering a word for a long ti.
Initially, Saphir thought that his dismissive attitude would make this audacious lad back off.
Yet, as he stared at John, who stared right back, the young man's eyes remained calm and tranquil, devoid of any disturbance.
Saphir dropped his laughing face, sneered cryptically, "Young man, I must say, your courage is comndable. But have you understood what the glaring, blood-red indication on the first four quests represent?"
"It signifies extre danger, it signifies the possibility of death at any mont. I know you newbies, popping out from God knows where, have the unique ability to respawn, but I assu that such a resurrection isn't without its costs, right?"
"I don't know if you're proposing to take this quest just to show off, or if you truly overestimate yourself, believing you can miraculously complete it. But I would advise you to take back your words and not to do sothing as foolish as attempting the impossible."
John listened quietly to everything Saphir had to say, then responded indifferently, "Done talking? Can you proceed with the quest application now?"
Saphir's expression froze, the words he had at the tip of his tongue stuck in his throat.
His curious eyes scanned John from top to bottom.
Saphir genuinely didn't know where the young man in front of him got his courage from...
Seeing that Saphir hadn't responded for quite a while, John was getting impatient.
With a frown, he spoke coldly, "What are you hesitating about? Do you enjoy standing here like a fool?"
Saphir snorted lightly. Since this young man didn't heed the advice and was bent on courting death, what more could he say? You can't convince a suicidal man...
After a pause, Saphir said in a heavy voice, "I can handle the quest registration for you, but I'm really curious. Why did you choose the fourth quest?"
John gave a nonchalant response, "Because the fourth quest has no level requirent for rcenaries, and I'm just a one-star Silver rcenary. I can't take the other three quests..."
Saphir's eyes bulged with anger, nearly popping out of their sockets. In disbelief, he continued to ask, "So, you chose the fourth quest simply because your rcenary level isn't enough for the first three?"
John nodded naturally, looking a bit strangely at the burly Grand Archmage in front of him, "What else could it be?"
Under John's peculiar gaze, Saphir felt a bit uncomfortable.
He sensed so aning behind this look and pondered over it for a while. Isn't this the look you give to a fool?
Saphir was imdiately infuriated.
Angrily, he waved his hand to the side.
Magic surged in an instant, and a rustic parchnt suddenly appeared in his hand.
"That's how you undertake a quest. You just need to press your hand on this parchnt. The quest has a ti limit of three days. If it's not completed within that tifra, the quest will automatically be deed a failure,"
Saphir tossed the parchnt to John, fuming, "For these three days, no one else can undertake this quest. I can't wait to see how you plan on completing a quest of this highest level of difficulty."
John nonchalantly pressed his hand onto the parchnt, an odd ripple descended from the void onto him.
Contract established.
Quest accepted.
John gave a satisfied nod and was about to leave when Saphir abruptly called after him, "Wait a minute…"
John reluctantly stopped, wondering, "What else is there?"
Saphir suddenly sighed, sounding sowhat gentler, "Young man, I appreciate your fearless courage. However, I feel obliged to tell you that quests with these red marks are nearly impossible to complete."
"Even the seasoned top-tier rcenaries need to be extrely cautious when undertaking such quests. Often, they need to collaborate with rcenaries of their own caliber or execute the quest as a rcenary Guild. Still, they frequently fall at the hands of their quest targets."
"Do you have any idea about the terrifying existence you're going to face? A level 200 lord-level monster, a presence that even I can't look down upon. As for a youngster like you, it's just like adding another dish to the monster's table…"
"So, it's not too late to turn back now. Although the quest contract is established, I can pull so strings here and help you cancel it…"
As Saphir tried to dissuade him earnestly, a faint smile appeared on John's face.
He suddenly found that this gruff-looking Fire Grand Archmage was not as irritating as he first seed.
At least, the guy had a good heart.
Saphir had been persuading John for a while now, but John rely shook his head slowly, firmly rejecting his good intentions.
This imdiately got Saphir annoyed.
Since it had co to this, there was no need for him to hold back.
Saphir's robe fluttered even without any wind, an abyss-like majestic aura suddenly erupted from within him without any warning.
A gust of wild wind blew through the rcenary Hall, making a whistling sound.
The overwhelming aura pinned all the players firmly to the ground, leaving them unable to even lift their heads.
Even the well-leveled staff mbers lowered their heads, shivering in fear.
The glasses on the table shattered with a bang, and the parchnt papers flew all over the place.
Saphir's cold voice echoed in the wind, "Since you're so stubborn, let see if you really have the strength that matches your courage. If you can't even withstand my pressure, even if you go to the Bone Cave, it would be a suicide mission…"
John stood there with his hands behind his back, letting the wind sweep over him.
Saphir's aura was completely locked onto John, and all the pressure was applied solely to him.
Otherwise, the re leak of his aura would have been enough to send all the players in the hall back to the respawn pool.
After all, the level gap was just too great...
After a mont, Saphir retracted his aura.
When he lifted his head to look at John, he was petrified on the spot, unable to move for a long ti.
That's because John was unhard and even had the leisure to fix the white beginner's clothes that had been ssed up by the wind.
"You..." Saphir's eyes widened in disbelief, "You actually withstood my pressure. That's impossible. All you unknown class players that have erged from unknown areas usually have very low levels. You couldn't possibly withstand my aura…"
John tilted his head, not bothering to explain Saphir's doubts.
He simply asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else? I only have three days, so please stop wasting my ti..."
Saphir took a long look at John, speaking in a solemn tone, "Although I have no idea how you managed, you're definitely not like these other useless individuals. Go on, maybe you truly can perform miracles..."
At this mont, so of the players finally recognized John's identity.
One of them exclaid, "Wait a minute, isn't this the mysterious Galewind from the video?"
At this revelation, the rcenary Hall imdiately erupted with buzz.
"What? He's the mysterious Galewind?"
"He's really the guy who can withstand system punishnts, no wonder his actions are out of ordinary."
"Right, should've known it was Galewind. No one else would dare to take on such a high-difficulty quest..."
"Idol, can I have your autograph? I'm your most devoted fan!"
"How did Galewind beco so powerful? Can he share his secret with us?"
"Don't dream. Do you really think everyone can be as badass as Galewind?"
"Exactly, even if he told you his secret, you might not be able to pull it off!"
...
Players crawled off the ground, their eyes glued to John.
They wished they could swarm around John and dissect him...
Even for John, the burning stares of so many people were a bit overwhelming for a mont.
He turned around and quickly headed for the exit of the rcenary Hall.
So players were even curious enough to chase after him.
However, their movent speed compared to John's was like night and day.
After John left, he quickly disappeared into the streets, leaving a group of frustrated players who didn't get a chance to speak with him.
Back in the empty rcenary Hall, Saphir remained silent for a mont, then chuckled to himself, "What an interesting young man, seems like he's quite well-known in their world... I hope you really can complete this top-tier quest... If you return safely, perhaps you could beco the next legend in the rcenary world..."
