Chapter 206: Chapter 36 World’s Cancer_2
Translator: 549690339
The four members of the Brotherhood Group and the three from the Social Phobia Group all looked to Link expectantly, hoping for confirmation.
Lanny and her team were also watching.
Under the scrutiny of dozens of eager eyes, Link shrugged again and sighed helplessly: “I truly don’t know. I hope so too.”
Saying that, Link turned the screen of his wristwatch towards everyone, “The message I received should be the same as yours.”
Everyone’s gaze immediately focused on Link’s wristwatch.
It was indeed the same.
They all received the same notification.
Could it really not be him?
Monroe was doubtful, his estimations wavering in his mind.
“I don’t believe it!”
Elise suddenly spoke up, “The message being the same is correct, but that doesn’t prove that the person who completed the task isn’t you. Those are two separate matters.”
The crowd was taken aback by her words.
Monroe realized that his thoughts had been sidetracked by Link’s words.
This guy was too crafty.
With gritted teeth, Monroe started to grumble.
It seemed that he should remain wary of this guy, lest he be profiting off him unknowingly.
At this moment, Elise delivered a crushing blow.
She gently touched her forehead, as if she’d suddenly realized something, and said, “I thought it was strange that you volunteered to help us in the battle. Turns out you wanted to distract the Opposition camp, so your secret plans could take effect.”
This speculation was half right, and half wrong.
When making the decision to help Elise and Monroe fend off their pursuers, Link had no idea the God Slayer had awakened.
His motivation wasn’t to distract the Opposition.
It was a helpless choice made in an awkward and embarrassing situation.
Instead of engaging in random battles, Link chose to enter the Mountain Basin to fight off the enemy, and then looked for an opportunity to retreat.
It was just that after entering the Mountain Basin, his motives had changed slightly.
Because of Elise’s words, everyone further deepened their “suspicions” about Link, whispering among themselves, some loudly, some quietly.
There was admiration from the Brotherhood Group and gradually from the Social Phobia Group;
There was silent devastation, like from Lanny Taylor;
There was secret caution, like from Monroe Brisegio and his buddies;
There was clamor, with people complaining loudly that Link wasn’t a good enough friend, like Elise Clark;
And there was someone who quietly moved a few steps to block Elise’s view of Link, like Jasmine Kidman.
Link remained silent, letting them speculate and debate.
Anyway, his principle was not to admit anything.
Actually, there was nothing to admit.
He really didn’t know if he had completed the faction task.
The Academy hadn’ t given any special hints.
After a while, when the atmosphere cooled down a bit, Link said calmly, “The big battle between the two districts hasn’t ended. We’re still in danger. Let’s continue digging.”
Everyone’s attention was immediately pulled back to reality.
Indeed, there was no sign that the big battle between the two districts was over.
Their lives were more important.
They had already wasted some time and didn’t dare to delay any further.
They hurriedly started digging.
Underground, everyone was digging the tunnel with all their might.
On the surface.
At the entrance of the Mountain Basin.
The fury of Parry Percival was almost unable to be contained.
Although the other faction leaders of “Pure Blood Will” were also angry, they weren’t as incensed as Parry.
In the end, he was basically stuck with the blame for indulging Link Grande.
Especially after Link continuously shared updates of the faction task on the faction channel, there were some within the “Pure Blood Will” who suggested suppressing Link early.
However, all were suppressed by Parry.
He didn’t know what Parry was thinking. Did he want to see Lucia’s Family, or more precisely, Tracey Lucia, make a fool of themselves?
He forgot that this wasn’t just about the big battle between two districts, but also about Wizard Peter Lionel’s wager.
Although their respective families behind them didn’t want Peter Lionel to complete a full set of Percy Sage’s drill/staff, apart from Lucia’s Family,
They also couldn’t show that too obviously.
Everyone was a respectable member of high society, they all had their reputations to consider, right?
Looking at Parry Percival jumping around, stirring up people’s emotions, and boosting morale with the posture that he would rip Link Grande’s heart out,
Luna Colonna sneered, muttered disdainfully: “Just like a dog!”
After her remark, Luna Colonna couldn’t help but become curious about Link Grande, who has unanimously deemed to have completed the Righteous Faction task.
So how exactly did that guy complete the faction task?
As Link directed the digging of the tunnel, he was also curious:
How had the God Slayer carried out his strategy of “Destructive Rescue”?
The origin of the World.
God Slayer, a being of jade-like bones, adorned with pure black wings, lifted his right foot from the heart of a divine creature that was slug-like in size but extremely hideous.
Organ fragments, blood, mucus, all filth, automatically fell off from the right foot bone.
Pure as jade, untainted by dust.
“To think that you managed to survive for more than a thousand years.”
The God Slayer moved his lower jaw, emitting an impartial sound, and mocked, “To stay alive, you chose to parasitize a bug. You gods are really repulsive.” “God Slayer, at least I am still alive.”
The God, whose body was covered in boils, lay on the ground, making a screeching sound like a nail scraping a blackboard, “And your daughter is long dead.”
The deity had fallen from God’s Country for over a thousand years, without a divine body and without a god form, only a little divine power remained.
