His arrival brought great relief to the guards stationed there, for the combat prowess of a Legend Magus was formidable.

With Mystery Protector's help, they believed they could withstand the Dark Faction's assault.

However, Mystery Protector's arrival came somewhat late.

The Dark Faction had already successfully destroyed all the outposts outside the Defend Wall.

Now, the Order Faction guards had no choice but to rely on the Defend Wall for defense.

But the Defend Wall had become severely damaged from previous battles, and many of its defensive enchantments were no longer functioning.

After assessing the situation, Mystery Protector addressed the guards at the Defend Wall directly, "For now, do not continue fighting. Find a safe place to take cover. I will cast a defensive spell. Once successful, it will ensure that the previously inactive defensive enchantments on the Defend Wall are reactivated. You must be aware that many of the defensive enchantments on the Defend Wall are currently non-operational."

"If we want to continue defending, we must activate these defensive enchantments! There's no time to waste anymore. Get off the Defend Wall quickly!"

Mystery Protector's words successfully convinced the Order Faction guards.

They swiftly descended from the Defend Wall.

Once the majority of the Order Faction guards had left, Mystery Protector produced a scroll without hesitation.

He tore the scroll apart and immediately used teleportation magic to leave the Defend Wall.

With Mystery Protector's departure, the Dark Faction's siege demons finally breached the Defend Wall.

The entire Defend Wall was completely destroyed, and for the first time, the Dark Faction thoroughly shattered the Order Faction's defense on Sunset Mountain.

Facing this situation, the Order Faction guards were in a state of panic.

They had no idea why this had occurred and wondered if the Legend Magus had been eliminated.

In such circumstances, the morale of the Order Faction guards collapsed entirely.

The entire Order Faction's presence on Sunset Mountain was swiftly annihilated.

After successfully breaching the Defend Wall, the Dark Faction began channeling all of its forces towards Storm City, with the clear goal of capturing it.

Once the Dark Faction's demons had broken through the Defend Wall and moved towards Storm City, Darklord appeared alone on the now heavily damaged Defend Wall.

"You've indeed fulfilled your promise, and I will, of course, fulfill mine. I will give you the weapon I promised you," Darklord spoke into the empty air. freewe(b)novel.c(o)m

Although there was no one around Darklord, he was well aware that Mystery Protector would hear his words.

Darklord retrieved a string of gleaming gemstones from his backpack.

These gemstones constantly emitted a powerful Holy Light.

It was quite strange for a player who had joined the Mystery Faction to possess such a Sacred Relic.

As Darklord revealed the gemstones, Mystery Protector's figure finally materialized.

Taking the string of gemstones from Darklord, Mystery Protector remarked, "I thought you wouldn't honor your promise, but it seems you are more sincere than I anticipated."

The reason Mystery Protector chose to allow the Dark Faction to breach the Defend Wall was because he had made a promise to Darklord.

Through their collaboration, the defense of the Order Faction was completely undermined.

Although Mystery Protector had initially felt immense pressure, obtaining the string of gemstones was already a significant achievement.

Mystery Protector hoped to use these gemstones to defeat John.

The power within these gemstones could successfully seal the Book of the Astral Realm, or at least render it useless for a short period.

During this time, Mystery Protector intended to eliminate John.

If he could lower John's level by just one, he would gain a significant advantage in their upcoming battles.

Darklord responded to Mystery Protector's words with a smile, and his expression was calmer than before.

If this had been the old Darklord, he would have been ecstatic about the success of his plan.

However, it seemed that Darklord had something else on his mind.

After a brief pause, he said something that took Mystery Protector by surprise.

"Shouldn't you return to Storm City immediately now? After all, if you don't return to Storm City and explain why this situation occurred, others will surely be highly suspicious of you. If everyone finds out that you've betrayed the Order Faction, John will probably eliminate you without hesitation. I don't want that to happen because we can still cooperate in the future," Darklord suggested.

Darklord's desire for cooperation puzzled Mystery Protector.

In Mystery Protector's view, Darklord's plan had already been successful.

Did this mean that the Mystery Faction didn't intend to take advantage of the current favorable situation to launch an attack on Storm City?

Mystery Protector believed that the formidable individuals in Storm City would prioritize dealing with the apparent threat of the Dark Faction first.

"What do you mean? I've already helped you successfully destroy the Order Faction's Defend Wall. The Dark Faction is about to launch an attack on Storm City. Both Duke Arsena and John will have to deal with the Dark Faction's assault first. Your Mystery Faction can easily take Storm City during this opportunity. Do you have some other plans?" Mystery Protector asked in response.

Mystery Protector's counterquestion left Darklord chuckling.

Darklord believed that Mystery Protector was simplifying matters too much.

Darklord wouldn't have cooperated with Mystery Protector unless he had received direct instructions from Mystery Saint.

From Darklord's perspective, Mystery Protector seemed somewhat naive.

"Do you really think such a simple plan would succeed? You've spent a long time in Storm City; do you think its defenses are weak? Do you believe that Storm City has no defenses beyond its walls? Let me remind you that right below Storm City's Great Library lies a defensive enchantment.

Even if we manage to breach the city walls, we'll be restricted by that defensive enchantment. We're not as reckless as the Dark Faction. After a series of failures, we finally came up with this perfect plan to destroy Storm City. Since the plan has been going so smoothly, we naturally want it to go off without a hitch.

After you return to Storm City, stay in the Great Library. When we launch our attack on Storm City, your responsibility will be to deactivate the defensive enchantment in the Great Library," Darklord explained, laying out his and the Mystery Faction's plan.

Upon hearing this information, Mystery Protector's expression remained hesitant.

The only reason he had chosen to cooperate with the Mystery Faction was to obtain the Sacred Relic they currently possessed.

Since he had already obtained the Sacred Relic, why would he still cooperate with the Mystery Faction?

Moreover, Storm City was the most important main city of the Northern Myst Empire in his eyes.

Giving up Storm City so easily would be difficult for Mystery Protector to accept.

"You don't think you can just refuse to cooperate with me now, do you? If I were to tell Duke Arsena about our cooperation, what kind of attitude do you think he would have toward you? You have no way out now; you can only continue to cooperate with me. Furthermore, I can promise you that if you help us take Storm City, I will grant you even greater power. I can even arrange for you to meet the esteemed Mystery Saint!"

Darklord's words left Mystery Protector unable to make an immediate decision.

He certainly didn't want to fully align himself with the Mystery Faction, but as Darklord had pointed out, he had no other choice. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝘰𝓋𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂

After considering for a while, Mystery Protector nodded slowly, indicating that he had decided to continue cooperating with Darklord.

"No problem, let's proceed according to your plan. I will return to Storm City and stay in the Great Library. However, you must ensure that you breach the city walls of Storm City first. Only after that will I deactivate the defensive enchantment in the Great Library."
