Chapter 1859 Strategy

Emery attended the meeting called by the Nephilim princess, Jinkan. The gathering brought together all nine teams, consisting of a total of 50 members. Despite the high casualties reported from various factions, their team remained unscathed, which was a testament to their preparation and organization.

As they assembled for the meeting, the mood was a mix of determination and apprehension. The fourth layer gate was set to open before them, and everyone agreed that this expedition would be even more challenging than the previous ones. It was evident that a new strategy was needed to navigate the upcoming trials.

The statistics of the Celestial Ruins participants were presented during the meeting:

[Magus Alliance: 29,881 participants]

[Elven: 9,088 participants] nOve-lb-1n

[Others: 51,623 participants]

[Total Casualties: 14,122 participants]

It was revealed that two-thirds of the casualties were among the rogue magus, while the elves had nearly a thousand casualties themselves. These numbers highlighted the perilous nature of their endeavors.

However, what piqued Jinkan's interest the most was the latest information regarding those who had managed to recover the coveted gold medals. The gold medals held a special significance in their quest, and Jinkan was eager to gather information about the magus who had succeeded in obtaining them.

[Fourth layer Medal: 22,500 medals]

[Elven: 7,255 medals]

[Magus alliance: 9,447 medals]

[Others: 4,221 medals]

[Unaccounted for: 1,577 medals]

Jinkan shook her head slightly, indicating her lack of certainty. "Not sure for now, at least not the Nephilim," she replied.

Emery found this news to be quite compelling. The fact that such significant resources were being allocated for this operation hinted at an impending development or event within the ruins. It was clear that something significant was on the horizon, and Emery couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and uncertainty about what lay ahead.

He then recalled what Julian had mentioned earlier about the elves attempting to break through to the 7th layer and decided to ask Jinkan for more information.

The Nephilim princess let out a deep sigh before explaining. She began by reminding Emery and the others that Celestials had disappeared more than 3000 years ago. The ruins they were exploring were one of the legacies left behind, still actively managed by an intelligent entity: a celestial machine. This machine periodically generated new celestial constructs and opened the ruins for the new magus to enter and reap rewards.

However, the true objectives of the Celestials remained shrouded in mystery, with no conclusive evidence to confirm their purpose. What was known, and had been happening for millennia, was that at the end of the 7th layer, magus would obtain valuable artifacts, high-grade skills, or spells in exchange for their accumulated points. This was a well-established tradition.

But now, new intelligence had emerged. The elves, it seemed, had discovered another secret beyond the 7th layer, something that had eluded all previous generations of magus.

"What secret is that?"

Jinkan responded with a faint chuckle before explaining, "They believe it to be the revival of a Celestials."

She went on to elaborate that the high elves were convinced that there were still dormant Celestials beyond the 7th layer, and their awakening was approaching, signaled by a countdown.

However, Jinkan made it clear that many of the top factions were skeptical of this belief. After all, there had been no signs of Celestials for the past 3000 years. She smiled as she revealed that this expedition marked the 100th attempt to explore the ruins—a number that held its own intrigue.

Emery posed one last question to Jinkan, his gaze unwavering as he sought a truthful answer. "Is this why you recruited me into your team? Are you planning something as well?"

Jinkan responded calmly, her tone earnest, "Of course. Even if it's just a possibility, we can't afford to dismiss it. If there's even a fragment of a chance it's true, I wish for us to be part of it. Don't you agree?"

With that, Jinkan emphasized the need for everyone to be more serious about accumulating points and helping the group collect more. She harbored hopes that a few of them might gain access to the mysterious 8th layer.

Reminded of their mission, Jinkan called on everyone to prepare, as it was time to face the guardian of the fourth layer.

Over 2000 magus stood ready in front of the gate, and just as before, High Priestess Loriel Strawin opened the fourth gate, leading them into the chamber where their battle against the guardian awaited.
