Raphael set up the ladder and began climbing, taking out books and handing them to the colleagues below.
“Wait, you don’t need to take out more. I think this is it.”
Tien picked up one of the books on the floor, unfolded it, and spoke.
“How did you know?”
Raphael asked as he descended from the ladder.
“Kumsaegi was sniffing and whimpering at this book with his nose. After checking the contents, I’m pretty sure.”
Tien, who had been casually flipping through the book, unfolded a certain section and showed it to everyone.
“It seems like what Count Gart said… There’s a magic circle.”
Mitchell agreed as he looked at the book Tien was holding.
“Right. It says, ‘The method to summon all evil onto the surface and create one’s own kingdom.'”
“There was mention of a specific day to execute the magic. Check if there’s any mention of that.”
In response to Kite’s words, Hazen, who was diligently checking the book, shook his head.
“There’s no mention of that. There’s something small written below, but it’s illegible, so it seems useless.”
Kite received the book handed over by Hazen and read it briefly before nodding.
“Indeed. Unfortunately, it seems like there’s no information we can find in this book. Now that it’s come to this, let’s go back home. Hazen, keep the book and give it to Senhwe later. We should seal books like this.”
“Shouldn’t we look for other strange books?”
“Later. Right now, it’s more important not to get caught by Count Kuran. Let’s go.”
Just as Ruelra was about to press the return button, the upper right corner of the game screen suddenly started flashing like crazy. It was a sign that a new announcement had been posted.
Surprised, Ruelra clicked on the notification instead of returning. Then, along with the bulletin board turned into chaos, a new announcement popped up.
‘Surprise Update on Count Kuran’s Secret’
We are conducting a surprise update for the seventh expansion, ‘Helen’s Counterattack: Ruelra’s Story.’
The teams that have collected the seven keys are a total of two.
As the minimum number of teams that can compete in the raid has been met, we have proceeded with the surprise update and immediately opened the Count Kuran raid.
Which guild will be the first to defeat Count Kuran?
Can our ally NPC, the main healer ‘Ruelra Rominin,’ join in the next expansion?
Warriors, please wish both teams good luck!
Helen’s Operation Team
“What did they say?!”
Ruelra shouted at the unexpected announcement. Those who were puzzled as to why she wasn’t pressing the return button looked at Ruelra.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s unbelievable… They say the Count Kuran dungeon just opened!”
“What? It was originally scheduled for July 30th!”
“The team that collected seven keys is not just us. So, now that the minimum condition for competition has been satisfied, they suddenly proceeded with the update.”
With the sudden news of competitors, everyone’s expression became serious. There was no time to delay now. If they didn’t defeat Count Kuran immediately, Ruelra might face destruction.
“No time to think long. If we can defeat Count Kuran, we have to go right away. Everyone, draw your swords!”
Kite, with a more determined expression than ever before, stepped forward from the shelf, and others followed suit with resolute expressions.
Ruelra, with Tien and Kumsaegi, followed the team, and with a stunned expression, she reluctantly began planning for the imminent battle with her stiffened mind.
Since she had set a teleport point at her home, it seemed better to move here in case of danger rather than using a return if a risky situation occurred.
The closer the distance to the Count, the more her heart pounded as if it would go crazy.
All the many events she had experienced so far were all for the purpose of killing Count Kuran.
If this were just a game, attacking the final boss would have been nothing but exciting. However, since it was a reality for Ruelra, facing the decisive battle with the Count at this moment was something she simply wanted to avoid.
Thus, it seemed that the condition was set that Ruelra Romine would disappear if Count Kuran was not defeated for the first time.
If that restriction didn’t exist, she might have tried to postpone, or rather avoid, defeating Count Kuran as much as possible.
Why would she jump into a potentially deadly path when her current life was so satisfying and happy?
Even if Kite and his colleagues had come to restore the Kuran Kingdom to its former state, it would have been too risky, and she would have tried to convince them to give up and leave.
With an anxious heart, Ruelra entered the talk bulletin board.
Among the curses pouring in with the sudden update, there was a post from the Legend Guild stating that they would soon start the Count Kuran raid and broadcast the process live.
Ruelra’s heart trembled at the unexpectedly swift action of the Legend Guild.
Since it had not been long since they defeated Maria Kuran, she had expected them to take some rest before attempting the raid.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
