Chapter 95: Chapter95-Resurrection, Gaining a Beautiful Mentor as a Subordinate

"Nature Barrier."

With a thought from John, the next moment, countless trees began growing throughout the entire lower space.

They rapidly covered the whole battlefield.

The scene became lush, green, and full of life.

The human warriors stared at this sight in bewilderment.

John did not stop. He activated Light of Nature once more.

In an instant, the trees erupted with waves of incomparably vigorous green light.

The light instantly covered the corpses of the human warriors across the battlefield, including the body of Assassin Mentor Philia.

Under the illumination of the green light, the wounds on these corpses began disappearing rapidly. Their pale skin also gradually regained a healthy, rosy color.

"Ugh!"

Only when the first human warrior let out a muffled groan did the others begin to react.

Immediately afterward, one human warrior after another opened their eyes, as if they had merely woken from sleep.

In just a few seconds, all the human warriors, including Philia, were resurrected.

The rest of the survivors were utterly stunned by this scene.

"What kind of skill is this? It can actually bring the dead back to life?"

"What a terrifying life-type priest!"

"The people from the priest class should invite this brave one to become their mentor."

"That’s great, Jerome. I almost thought there’d be no one to drink beer with me anymore."

...

Amid the excited voices, Philia quickly understood what had just happened to her.

She swiftly walked up to John, dropped to one knee, and expressed her loyalty.

"Great brave one, you stopped the World Tree from collapsing and even brought us back from hell. As repayment, I am willing to follow you from now on and serve you!"

[You have obtained the loyalty of Assassin Mentor Philia Lv. 100. You may command her to do anything.]

Listening to the notification in his mind, John raised his brows.

He had not expected such an unexpected surprise.

He had resurrected her purely to make himself feel better.

Yet in the end, he had actually gained a Level 100 Assassin Mentor as a subordinate.

To test Philia’s loyalty, he immediately ordered, "Really? Then polish my boots."

Philia did not hesitate at all.

Even though she was an Assassin Mentor with an extremely noble status, she still lowered her head without hesitation and began carefully polishing John’s boots.

As she moved, her loose robe could not conceal her graceful figure at all.

The surging view before him thoroughly cleansed John’s eyes, which had just witnessed mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Alright, that’s enough. Stand up."

After finishing the test, John smiled and allowed Philia to rise.

He looked at the graceful Assassin Mentor before him and asked, "Overlord City currently happens to lack a true Class Advancement Mentor. Are you willing to settle there with me?"

At present, all the Class Advancement Mentors in Overlord City were clones.

Although they could also help players change classes, they could not issue certain higher-difficulty Class Advancement Quests.

That was equivalent to limiting the upper potential of Overlord City’s players.

If this Assassin Mentor settled there, then the upper limit of Overlord Guild’s assassin players would be unlocked!

In the past, Philia naturally would never have left the more prosperous Eaglecrest City for a player-built main city.

But right now, she was John’s loyal follower, so she naturally had to obey unconditionally.

Philia immediately placed one hand on her shoulder and bowed.

"As you command, my lord!"

At the same time, the human soldiers behind her, who had also been resurrected by John, knelt on one knee one after another and shouted in unison,

"We are willing to brave fire and water for you, my lord!"

Seeing this scene, John felt extremely satisfied. He laughed aloud.

"All of you, rise. Follow me in triumph!"

"Yes!"

...

Eaglecrest City.

John led the human army back in a grand and mighty procession.

As for the World Tree Ruins, since he only controlled the middle and lower spaces, while the upper space required Level 150 to enter, he had no way to move the World Tree Ruins near Overlord City for the time being.

Before entering the city, John had also been thinking about why the level restriction for the upper space of the World Tree was so high.

"Level 150. By that stage, it’s usually already the late game."

"Most enemies that appear in the late game are related to gods."

John’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Could there be descendants of gods living in the upper space of the World Tree?"

The more John thought about it, the more likely he felt it was.

He turned to look at Philia.

"How much do you know about the World Tree?"

After all, she was a Level 100 assassin and a Class Advancement Mentor. She definitely knew more than him.

Hearing this, Philia revealed a reminiscent look.

"A very long time ago, my ancestors once entered the World Tree. Back then, the World Tree did not have so many restrictions, because the upper and middle spaces were still connected as one."

"Until later, when the World Tree seemed to undergo a tremendous change."

"All humans were expelled."

"For the next thousand years, no human entered it again."

"It was only after entering this time that I learned the current World Tree had actually been divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower."

John fell into thought after hearing this.

So at the very beginning, the World Tree had not been divided into upper, middle, and lower layers?

In other words, a certain force had suddenly appeared and split the World Tree into three.

As for where that force was now?

John suspected that it was very likely living in the upper area.

"When I reach Level 150, I’ll definitely go take a good look at that place!"

At present, he only controlled one ruin, Dragonkin Isle.

He still needed to control at least two more major ruins before he could activate the Fateshard lottery.

Fateshard.

Just from the name alone, it was obvious that the rewards would definitely not be ordinary!

As thoughts flashed through his mind, John led everyone back to Eaglecrest City.

The moment they entered the main city, countless soldiers and civilians lined the streets to welcome them.

"Welcome back, brave warrior!"

"Cheers for humanity’s great victory!"

"Thank you, brave warrior, for leading the army and protecting all of humanity’s main cities this time!"

"Your merit is immeasurable!"

Flowers surrounded them, and wine flowed freely.

Every street and alley of Eaglecrest City was packed with celebrating crowds.

John’s Fame in Eaglecrest City also directly soared to the maximum limit.

Even if he asked the celebrating crowds along the roadside for money right now, he could probably collect millions of funds in an instant.

This was the benefit brought by Fame.

Surrounded by the crowd, John continued all the way to the City Lord Mansion.

At this moment, outside the City Lord Mansion, a group of official NPCs had already been waiting.

Standing at the very front was a tall, burly male NPC with blond hair.

The moment he saw John, he bowed and greeted him.

"May I ask if you are the brave warrior John?"

John’s brows moved slightly.

"That’s right. It’s me."

He noticed that the man wore a gem-inlaid sword at his waist. He was probably also a warrior-class NPC.

A faint smile appeared on the blond NPC’s face.

"For your assistance during the World Tree disaster, I offer my deepest thanks. I am the City Lord of Eaglecrest City, and I have come here specifically to welcome you and express my gratitude."

As his words fell, he gave a bow.

"On behalf of all the citizens of the Eaglecrest Empire, I offer you our deepest respect and gratitude!"
