When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 585: Chapter 10 Akpolis Chapter 585: Chapter 10 Akpolis The pirate clearly had nothing to talk about with Lulu and Olive.

After confirming the cooperative relationship with Fox, he almost never glanced to the right again and closed his eyes once more.@@novelbin@@

Isabel came to a realization—the pirate was most likely averse to beauty and Transcendence, which explained his pointed attitude.

Otherwise, he at least should have come to chat with her.

No matter what her status was in the outside world, she was now a valuable pure support class!

She posed no threat, could not backstab, and could offer assistance.

If it were the New Moon Ritual, it might be different, but this was the Full Moon Ritual where unity and cooperation were needed—were there any close-combat professions that disliked supports?

And soon, Isabel’s speculation was confirmed.

As time passed and the promotion ceremony expanded outward, a newcomer appeared to Isabel’s right.

First to arrive was a man with a gloomy and mysterious demeanor.

He wore a black hooded robe and was difficult to age, but certainly wasn’t too young.

Holding a wooden staff in his hand, he also wore several gemstone rings on his exposed left-hand fingers.

Almost immediately following him was a man and a woman.

Both cloaked in the same black hooded robes, it was evident that the three were affiliated.

Upon landing, the male spoke up immediately, “Hello everyone, I am Stranger.

An alchemist.

I hope we can cooperate well.”

Aiwass looked up, somewhat surprised, his gaze shifting to him.

He took a moment to size him up, then realized—it really was him.

But this time Stranger didn’t disguise himself as a middle-aged man.

He looked young and clean—and perhaps it was the similarly young and petite girl beside him who influenced his attire.

“My name is Grape…”

A seemingly just over twenty-year-old girl spoke with a detached voice, “A…

Necromancer.”

However, Aiwass immediately sensed that this was not due to her being cold, but rather she had some social anxiety.

She clearly wasn’t used to introducing herself in front of so many people, thus she followed suit subconsciously right after Stranger introduced himself.

The other male that appeared with them didn’t speak right away but instead stood firmly with his staff waiting for everyone to arrive.

Next to appear was a young man in a white lab coat.

He was very tall, almost two-and-a-half meters, unmistakably an Elf.

Lastly, a girl of about eight or nine years of age appeared.

As soon as she materialized, all present turned their surprised gazes upon her.

—This was a promotion ceremony from the Third to the Fourth Level!

And she didn’t appear to be an Elf…

“Eh?”

Isabel looked at her with some astonishment.

Because she sensed that she recognized the girl.

She seemed somewhat familiar…

“Is that Sister Lulu?”

Turned out the girl was the first to recognize their identities, immediately brightening up, “And Brother Fox—my name is Cheese, long time no see!”

Aiwass looked over, a bit surprised.

He took a short while to recall the girl’s identity.

She was the little girl from the Path of Love who had been present at Aiwass’s and Isabel’s first promotion ceremony.

He wasn’t sure if she had successfully ascended that time.

…But, could Cheese actually keep up with his and Isabel’s promotion pace?

Realizing this, Aiwass immediately recognized her identity—

A born Transcendent!

Either a reincarnated Celestial Marshal or Angel Envoy, or a pure-blooded Son of the Moon…the latter seemed much more likely due to her appearance resembling a true child, not an old woman dressing and acting young.

There was only one possibility—her parents were both Sons of the Moon, so she was born with it, just like a Dragonborn, her bloodline brimming with an ample supply of Transcendent power.

Moreover, she wasn’t a Son of the Moon during her first participation in the ceremony.

Back then, she had said her name was Cheese because she liked cheese, evidently not having begun Lifedrain yet.

Now, only a few months later, she had come into contact with the barrier of the Fourth Power Level… She must have completed Lifedrain and fully transformed into a Son of the Moon, retrieving the power within her bloodline.

Even if she were the weakest of everyone present, her age was enough to amaze.

With such pure blood…at least one of her parents was at the Fifth Power Level.

Using this unique age, Aiwass directly identified her—

The heir of the last Monarch of Narcissus Duchy, Duke Daffodil, the Iris Flower Moon Princess, Lucia Caipes!

That well-known “Dracula” of Avalon, who by seniority could be considered her grandfather.

She was also one of the few Sons of the Moon still faithful to Eternal Self, known as an expert who only played high-level games.

…Well, Aiwass knew her for a simple reason.

She had been part of an instance.

However, she was one of the rare “bosses” who “entered but did not die” in that instance—because strictly speaking, the boss of that instance was her foster father, and she was more like a game mechanism.

Her main role was to serve as the energy supply for that boss and as a blood pool for recovering his health.

Later, she had also appeared in the main storyline as a minor role several times, always being captured by some boss or other, mainly because her Power Level was high enough, her Path pure, her bloodline clean, her faith chaste…and at the same time, sufficiently weak.

She was one of the very few remaining Sons of the Moon who still believed in Eternal Self, also adhering to the purest principle—only consuming “the blood of the devoted,” meaning blood voluntarily offered by humans who loved her.
