Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 585 - 248 Lying Down Is Really Comfortable_3

"I should be the one saying that, what are you doing? Are you trying to kiss her?"

"If I wanted to kiss her, I wouldn’t have used my hands just now."

"That’s exactly what hands are for!"

Such sound logic!

Wayne, struck by the boomerang of logic, had no strength to argue back and could only explain, "There’s a conspiracy with this map, it’s specifically targeted against the two of us..."

Tubie and Saina were not handling the matter well, they only knew how to make Ottilia run dungeons, unaware that the Pope had this in mind and took advantage of it by preparing the map of Sky City.

"The referee’s attention is elsewhere, in these wild and desolate hills, so far away from Earth, I must wake everyone up; otherwise, if a pervert shows up... You’re a girl, you know what I mean, right?"

He had really thought things through.

Veronica, still not convinced, retorted, "There wouldn’t be any perverts if you weren’t one. You go get the Teleportation Array ready; I’ll wake them up."

A gentleman still needs to guard against such things, has this world ceased to be good!

Wayne complained as he left, having initially wanted to take advantage of Veronica’s inattention to wake Ottilia and secretly give away his first kiss, but now he had to wait for Lundan’s arrival.

The ground roared, and Villa Number Four rose from the earth.

Regina stood with her hands on her hips, watching the glimmer of the Teleportation Array fade away, and furrowed her brows fiercely, "Ottilia, why didn’t you take action? Are you an undercover agent?"

Ottilia crouched on the ground, drawing circles with her hand, unable to explain why she herself seemed like an undercover agent.

As stressed as can be, she couldn’t think of how to explain to her teacher.

Regina snorted coldly, "I should have known you’re an undercover agent. I might as well have arranged for my sister to come..."

One reprimanded while the other responded, both idling away their time, waiting for a response from headquarters.

Soon, the portal opened, and a figure appeared before them.

Graceful in stature, exceptionally beautiful in appearance.

Flora.

"Priestess,"

"Teacher..."

Ottilia lowered her head and started, "I’m sorry, I’ve disappointed you. I failed to complete the mission."

Flora’s pretty face remained cold, not uttering a single reproach as she led the two away.

...

Elsewhere.

Wayne stood in front of the villa window, staring at the oppressive curtain of rain, puzzled that there might be a third map.

"That’s not right!"

He remembered clearly, the scrap of paper belonging to Saina stated there were only two dungeons in the second round, and they were to be scored in the order they were conquered. freёnovelkiss-com

Could it be that the Pope had another trick up his sleeve?

Wayne immediately suspected the Pope, as part of a series of plans to force him out of the selection competition. If Ottilia and Regina could win, that was great, but if not, there were more conspiracies and tricks to come.

The dark clouds shrouded the sky, lightning streaked across, and a flash of white light illuminated the land.

Beneath the torrential downpour, the silent forest spread along the mountain ranges, contrasting with the noisy storm, quietly lurking in the silent darkness.

Looking into the distance, there was no sign of the Cyno River; this place was not the villa where the candidates rested.

"What’s going on, did we move houses after advancing?"

Veronica joined Wayne by the window, looking out at the relentless rain, "I didn’t see Dusa’s villa; did they fail to advance?"

"It’s not that simple, prepare for battle, this enemy isn’t as kind as Ottilia and Regina."

Wayne squinted his eyes, allowing his thoughts to spread and communicate with the surrounding forest. As the essence of balance slowly dissipated, two hidden figures suddenly became visible in the corner.

Here they come!

The earth roared and trembled, fissures spread rapidly, and an Earth Dragon made entirely of rock burst through the surface. Emerging from the crevices of the earth, its massive body shook the ground as it slammed into the abyss, devouring villa number 4.

Wayne and Veronica leaped from the villa just as the fissure spread beneath them, dark and seemingly bottomless. They burst forth with Magic Power and tread the air to a safe distance.

The Earth Dragon, like a colossal serpent, flew close to the ground, crashing through layers of pouring rain with a ferocity clearly aimed at taking lives, starkly different from the slightly clumsy duo, Ottilia and Regina.

They still fancied a fair fight, desiring Wayne to be thoroughly convinced in his defeat.

Wayne gripped Veronica with one hand while raising the other, fingers splayed, reshaping nature with his thoughts, and summoned vines from the abyss that latched onto the Earth Dragon’s joints.

The Earth Dragon’s charge stalled as it became entangled in vines, piece by piece, until its gigantic head broke off and fell, creating a loud splash amidst countless raindrops.

Its massive body shattered segment by segment, and soon lay motionless.

Wayne, carrying Veronica, stepped onto a giant rock. The Earth Dragon’s length spanned hundreds of meters; even a random piece of its body towered above the surrounding trees. From this vantage point, the assailants’ hiding place was quickly discovered.

Two figures emerged from the ground, their stealthy movement was so proficient, they would have remained undetected had nature not whispered their presence to Wayne.

The two were draped in white robes with hoods obscuring their faces, standing silently in the rain, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

"Who are you, assassins sent by the Pope?"

Wayne said harshly, "Has the Pope lost his mind, resorting to murder at the slightest disagreement? How does offending the Naturalist Knights Order benefit him?"

Wayne felt something was amiss and spoke up to break the deadlock, aiming to extract information.

The Pope could overlook Saina and Tubie, but still had to show some respect to the Naturalist Knights Order; to send out assassins without a second thought...

Had a cerebral thrombosis afflicted him?

"Decisive action is necessary, keeping you would only cause trouble!"

Sercy spoke coldly, "Wayne Lando, the Pope has a message for you: you’re in the way."

Seeing that Vigil remained silent, Sercy inwardly scorned the coward; even now, he was still trying to take advantage of the situation.

Today, the presence of both meant that regardless of who committed the murder, they would share the guilt.

Sercy readily admitted his role as an assassin and, having received orders from the Second Generation Pope, was determined to make Wayne understand the reason for his impending death.

He was a man of action, and without heeding the spectating Vigil, he raised his hand overhead, summoning the pelting rain to transform into torrential floods, creating walls of water akin to a tsunami.

"No Magic Power fluctuations..."

Veronica exclaimed in surprise, "Wayne, these two are just like you, elves who can communicate with nature."

"I’ve noticed."

Wayne’s eyes narrowed sharply, he was about to say that the assassins, capable of communicating with nature, might well have belonged to the Great Prophet’s people.

But the Great Prophet had no reason to target him; the old man was still counting on him to take over his responsibilities, so he could live a carefree life!

Saina...

No, that wasn’t right; she was nearly crazy with desire for him, afraid even to hold him in her mouth for fear of melting him away.

Only the Pope was likely.

Wayne quickly understood the reason, the Pope had stolen the Great Prophet’s legacy and secretly trained two assassins, who could be used to frame the Great Prophet when necessary.

"Be careful, these two are quite strong!"

Wayne’s form shifted into a two-meter tall Perfect Elf, his gaze fixed on the assassins behind the tsunami, spreading his thoughts to communicate with nature once again.

Today, it was him or them. Cut off the connection now, or let’s break up and never see each other again!
