I Picked the Useless Class… Turns Out It's the Most Broken in the Game-Chapter 53: Death.

"I wonder what the others are doing," Leon muttered under his breath, pushing himself as he got back up.

His eyes shifted towards Draviel, and his voice came out low. "Go back for now, we don’t want to reveal our secret yet." He said.

Draviel didn’t say anything, he just gave a small nod. His body started to get covered with dark purple mana waves, which circled him whole.

And soon after, Draviel was not there anymore.

His eyes then drifted towards the path that led to the camp, his voice came low as he smirked slightly. "Shall we start moving now?"

He started walking, his steps were steady. Eyes were scanning the surroundings, guard was up.

’I don’t want to fight another ranker yet.’

A sudden realization fell upon his mind, and he slammed his fist onto the palm as he said. "Wait, I haven’t claimed the rewards from the quest which Velxeria gave me." He muttered under his breath.

’Quests’

A system panel containing the entries of ongoing quests appeared in front of his eyes, shimmering brightly with blue light.

═══════════════════

He read each entry thoroughly, and a smile appeared on his face as his hand rested under his chin. "Hmm... Reputation gain, and also mana affinity increase, these rewards surely are great, but not too good."

His eyes fell on a particular entry, and his mouth opened slightly as his eyes widened a bit. "What!? I can get in-game money through quests, and not just by selling the goods?" He muttered under his breath.

"Also, 1 dollar is 100 solar... I just made 100 dollars without doing anything?" A wicked grin crept on his lips.

"Wait... let’s leave this for later, I should go and meet the others now." He said as he began walking once again, his steps were steady.

After walking for a while, a bright light finally fell upon his eyes from a few meters ahead.The light was coming from the exit.

He increased his pace slightly, reaching near the end.

When he stepped off the path on which he had been walking till now, he found that he was now in a new location.

Multiple tents stood around a bonfire, and a massive flag stood at the center, its fabric reflecting the symbol of the moon.

His gaze then shifted towards the players who were already there. ’Hmm... all of them are already here.’

He was the last one to reach the enemy’s camp.

He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, a loud voice fell into his ears.

"Answer me, Aren," Aria said, shouting at the top of her lungs as her hands grabbed the shoulders of Aren.

’What’s going on?’ His eyes remained fixated on both of them, trying to comprehend the current situation.

Her voice came out once again, this time even more fierce than before. "Aren, you better tell me why you didn’t bring Rex with you." She said, looking straight into his eyes.

Aren wasn’t able to gather enough courage to talk in front of her, but he finally said. "We encountered Lynx..." He took a small pause, and his gaze fell towards the ground.

Everyone present there gasped. Ran stepped forward, his voice came out firm. "Lynx? What was she doing there?" He said.

Aren didn’t pay any attention to him, simply continued. "She was too strong for even me and Rex combined. We fought her, but in the end, Rex sacrificed himself."

Zane was standing next to the tree, arms crossed. His veins popped out through his forehead, but he maintained his calm.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but before he could, a system panel appeared in front of their eyes.

Leon noticed the sudden change in their expressions. ’I think Rex just died, that’s why they’re worried like that.’

Aria clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palm as her skin tore slightly.

She took a few deep breaths and composed herself. Her hand raised as she touched her face with it, releasing a sigh from her mouth.

"He did it so you can stay alive and report it to us," She took a small pause and then continued. "We’ll avenge his death, no matter what happens." She said, her palms squeezed once again as she formed a fist.
