The Guardian System: The strongest Summoner's quest to save his family Chapter 226 226: Necessary Risks (2)

"I don't think it's just that," Reidar said. "While it's true that opening the portals made it possible for stronger monsters to appear, the monsters would act as an excellent diversion for the Aegis Phalanx."

"The Aegis Phalanx?" The scout asked.

"They are troops sent by the Allied Worlds to get rid of the Progenitor, based on what Sub-Adjutant Xy'tharr told ."

"You talked to an officer?" Seraphine said. She heard so ti before the raid, when the Allied Worlds arrived, that they did as such, especially because many people who ca to Creamont had been sent by them after having been rescued. But those survivors were only able to talk to the foot soldiers. It was nothing on the level of an officer like a sub-adjutant.

"I did. He offered a quest related to the raid. The goal was for to help you."

"That's why you stayed!" Seraphine almost shouted. Reidar nodded.

"Regardless, the dude told the Allied Worlds sent them here to kill the Progenitor, but if they need to take care of the monsters the portals are spawning, then it's likely that job would fall on us; otherwise, the monsters will wipe us out."

Silence ensued.

"This is not even the worst of the issues I was thinking about. Honestly speaking, I was there when the portals opened—or, better, my summons were. Mana got instantly sucked into so kind of magic circle when they appeared. In my opinion, the Church was doing research and, testing."

"What?" John asked.

"A way to increase mana into a particular area, a magic circle that would draw the surrounding mana into a specific location."

That was terrible news. If a monster, as soone without a system could be classified as, got into an area with huge amounts of mana, they would get stronger fast.

"That's why I said it's possible the War Hounds are cooperating with the church. If the church is really supporting them, this would explain what the trade-off between the two factions was. Power for help in creating the magic circle. They will probably have soone who is at the sa level as I am, Silas, or soone else, as I said before. They would just need to send the person here, where most of the portal monsters ca from, and power level the others."

"Fuck…"

"Yeah… Fuck…"

Reidar's own logic was starting to scare him too, as it just painted a terrifying picture.

If the Church could raise the Progenitor to level 250 in months, what was stopping them from creating another monster of equal strength in less ti if they had access to that kind of magic?

They could handpick a survivor. Soone like Judas Venn, and funnel that power into him. They wouldn't need years of grinding; they could manufacture a level 250 warlord in days, and that was without even talking about the progenitor himself. What level would he be able to reach?

As things were now, the man should not have been too far from the level he was back in Havenwood, and that was because as ti passed, getting enough mana to level up beca a longer and longer affair.
