Chapter 396 396-The Internal Strife of Dark Fiction

However, he also knew that the secrets behind these divine items would be extremely dangerous. 

He would not take any risks without adequate preparation and sufficient information.

"I think it\'s best not to act hastily right now. We need to gather more information. I also need to immediately attend to other important matters. If you two can find more information to prove that we can quickly uncover the secrets behind these two mystical items, feel free to let me know. I will entrust these mystical items to you for use."

John\'s words deeply moved Blue Sea and Adam. 

As guild leaders of top guilds, they knew very well how precious divine items were. 

John\'s willingness to entrust these mystical items to them signified his great trust in them. 

Moreover, for them, establishing a relationship with someone as unfathomably powerful as John was an opportunity not to be missed.

Without hesitation, Adam responded, "I will have my guild investigate the background of these two divine items as soon as possible. I\'ll keep you informed of any information we uncover."

John nodded in agreement with Adam\'s statement. 

Blue Sea, standing beside them, echoed Adam\'s commitment. 

He too would quickly investigate the secrets behind these mystical items and share any relevant information with John.

After confirming there were no other unexpected issues, John returned to his residence in Storm City, where Emma had been waiting. 

She was busy selecting weapons to take to the Lava Valley. 

Although Emma\'s level wasn\'t very high, she had previously received significant assistance from John and now possessed several wands that could unleash formidable power when combined with her fire spells. 

This journey to the Lava Valley was crucial for Emma; her ability to advance her fire spells beyond level six hinged on this mission, so she was determined to choose the best weapons from her arsenal.

John\'s sudden return naturally startled Emma. 

With a hint of complaint, she said, "You\'re late. You were supposed to be back half an hour ago. I was worried you had run into trouble."

John answered with a smile, "I was discussing future collaborations with Adam and Blue Sea, so it took a bit longer. I wouldn\'t run into any trouble. And even if I did, with my abilities, I could resolve it quickly. You\'re all prepared, right? Let\'s head to the Lava Valley then. Your fire spells must advance to level six this time. If we miss this opportunity, the next one might take a long while to come."

Emma nodded vigorously, fully trusting John\'s words and aware that she needed to accelerate her progress. 

Thus, John and Emma set off directly for the Lava Valley, where they would battle the fire elementals and absorb additional fire elements to enhance Emma\'s fire spell levels.

At the same time, Kingserp and Karthus finally made a ragged retreat back to their base in Dark Realm, the town of Ming Bridge. 

Named for its location on a massive bridge spanning the largest river in the Dark Realm, the Styx, Ming Bridge was a formidable stronghold.

In Dawn Guild\'s headquarters, Kingserp, having narrowly escaped death, angrily accused Karthus, "You should have supported me sooner. If your help had arrived in time, we might have escaped."

It was clear Kingserp was trying to shift the blame. 

Deep down, he knew that even timely support from Karthus wouldn\'t have been enough to defeat John, especially after witnessing the Devil summoned by Karthus being easily repelled by John. 

His words were merely a vent for his frustration and indignation.

Karthus, equally infuriated, retorted, "If you hadn\'t been so slow to leave, we wouldn\'t have suffered such a heavy blow. The Key of the Saint we finally obtained was snatched away by John and his team. And if I\'m not mistaken, the divine scroll you had been hiding from me has also been taken by them, right? It\'s ironic! You were always wary of me taking your divine scroll, but in the end, it was seized by someone from Order Fiction!"

Karthus\'s reproach left Kingserp speechless. 

Losing the Shadowy Path divine scroll had deeply wounded him; it had been his greatest reliance. 

His daring to continually oppose John was because he believed he could harness all of the Enigmatic Saint\'s power through the dark divine scroll.

Now, without Shadowy Path and having been reduced to level one by John and his team, Kingserp was left utterly powerless. 

Not only was he unable to continue as Dawn Guild\'s guild leader, but he also lacked any means to maintain a foothold in the Godslayer game.

Amidst this heated internal conflict between Kingserp and Karthus, the deputy guild leaders of Dawn Guild and Shadowrealm Guild stepped forward. 

Their expressions, upon seeing their respective guild leaders, were quite intriguing.

"The guild leader has returned to level one, I see. It looks like our guild will need a lot of resources to quickly catch up your level," said the deputy leader of Dawn Guild, his tone laced with a hint of mockery. 

After all, the character of every member in Dawn Guild was not much different from Kingserp\'s. 

They were the kind who would kick a man when he was down, never one to offer help in times of need. 

With Kingserp losing all his equipment and falling to level one, it meant everyone in Dawn Guild could now trample over him.

On the other hand, the deputy leader of Shadowrealm Guild remained silent. 

However, it was clear that he, too, would not offer any resources to Karthus to help him rapidly regain his levels.

Kingserp slowly stood up, glaring at the deputy guild leader of Dawn Guild, "No need to say more. I choose to leave the guild. You\'re now the guild leader of Dawn Guild."

After dropping these words, Kingserp intended to leave, but the deputy guild leader blocked his path. 

"You must remember the actions you took while leading our guild, right? If you remember, how could you think you could leave so easily?"

Kingserp felt a profound sense of danger. 

Powerless in his current state, he faced a deputy guild leader who had reached level 156 and possessed numerous powerful weapons. 

At his peak, Kingserp wouldn\'t have worried about any challenge from the deputy guild leader. 

But now, in such a dire situation, he had to tread carefully. 

His only wish was to leave Dawn Guild and escape this perilous place as soon as possible.

"So, what exactly do you want? I have no equipment left. Even if you target me, you won\'t gain anything," Kingserp retorted.

The deputy guild leader of Dawn Guild revealed a cruel smile. "You\'re wrong there. Though you\'ve lost all your equipment and reverted to level one, our guild can still benefit greatly from you. We want you to share all your secrets with us. After all, you didn\'t disclose all the information while you were our guild leader. Now that you\'re leaving Dawn Guild, you should naturally reveal all you know."

Kingserp realized he had no way out. 

He decided to divulge all he knew to the deputy guild leader of Dawn Guild. 

Whether he concealed any information was entirely for the deputy guild leader to judge.
