When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 646: Chapter 51 “Counselor” Fernando_3 Chapter 646: Chapter 51 “Counselor” Fernando_3 With the dawn approaching, no one would realize that a battle had taken place here last night.

Nor would anyone know that the Flame Demon Knights within the Hall of Silver and Tin had almost been wiped out…

Relying on their imposing presence from the past two days, it should be enough to deter further probing.

If it really comes to it…

It wouldn’t be impossible to act…

But Fernando was still somewhat reluctant.

His strong adaptation to the Path of Dusk had made him utterly weary of this completely out-of-control, increasingly troublesome situation.

It was only thanks to the rationality provided by the Path of Balance that he was able to think properly about what to do next.

He had already done everything he could.

The rest was not his responsibility if he didn’t get involved.

Once involved, if things went poorly, he’d be to blame; if things went well, it would just be the icing on the cake—so he had a clear idea in his mind, just to protect the Queen Consort and the Prince.

Nothing else mattered.

Before the “New Isabel Puppet” arrived with the main force, there was nothing he could do—
Luckily, Princess Isabel had fled, so the puppet that was brought later could be claimed to be “Princess Isabel recaptured after her escape.” That sounded much more plausible than “miraculously escaping unscathed from a palace burnt by a Flame Demon”…

Meanwhile, Aiwass led his group swiftly through the Red Queen District.

There were more enemies in the White Queen District, which seemed to be those who had moved over from the Lohar District; the Red Queen District had far fewer.

As they made their way through, they didn’t encounter any organized resistance.@@novelbin@@

The few scattered soldiers were easily knocked down.

Aiwass and Olive, both not adept at fighting, did not make a move—Counselor and Grape easily overwhelmed the enemies.

The Counselor was very proficient in controlling spells.

Although at the third Energy Level, he was much more skilled than Sherlock.

The most noticeable aspect was that he would only slightly open his mouth when casting a spell, chanting softly in a volume only he could hear, without any clear lip movements.

He even made fake gestures to mislead his enemies about his spellcasting timing—his chanting and gestures did not align at all, a battle concept that greatly enlightened Aiwass.

Clearly, this was something players could never achieve.

And since his arrival in this world, Aiwass hadn’t experienced many real battles between Transcendents—while Counselor clearly had fought his way up from a low level.

Sherlock, perhaps because his main occupation was Legal Mage, required his opponents to hear him speak for his spells to take effect.

Therefore, after becoming a Mage, he was in the habit of chanting loudly…

This was a habit Aiwass thought to remind Sherlock to correct later.

Grape’s combat style was inherited from Counselor.

Her chanting was also very soft, almost inaudible.

Even using the bulky body of Mycroft, her dodging was extremely agile—Aiwass noticed that her fighting style was very rare, centered on creating barriers with Preservation Arts and Petrify Spells.

It was the so-called control-based shield healer, quite common amongst players, a mainstream and even toxic build in 3V3s.

Constantly strengthening defense, controlling enemies…

Aiwass even noticed that a Demon Scholar’s summoned “Cursed Infant” was easily intercepted by her, without even breaking the shield.

That was an explosive spell that a fourth Energy Level tank class couldn’t survive without taking damage!

With Grape defending and Counselor attacking, they defeated three waves of enemies and finally arrived at St.

Genvieve Chapel.

And the key was with Aiwass—at his first meeting with Bishop Mathers, he had obtained this Holy Sword from the other party.

Now was the time to use it.

Aiwass inserted the key into the chapel’s main door and infused a bit of Light and Fire Mana.

Golden and red tree-like patterns flashed by, completing the magical runes on the door.

And with a slight twist of the key, he opened the tightly closed doors of the chapel.
