Chapter 512 - A w Exposed


    After ensuring that their invisibility masks were functioning perfectly, John led Adam and Blue Sea into the Styx Town training field. The moment they entered, they were astounded by the sight. The training field in Styx Town, though appearing small from the outside, had an incredibly vast space inside.


    At the entrance of the Styx Town training field, they could directly see three different pathways leading to various training areas. The visible training area in front of them was evenrger than the one in Storm City, indicating that the Dark Faction''s power in Styx Town was much stronger than they had previously estimated.


    "It seems we significantly underestimated the strength of the Dark Faction. They must have umted a tremendous force here in Styx Town. This means that the Defend Wall at Sunset Mountain is likely to face a greater crisis than we anticipated. Fortunately, we entered the Styx Town training field. If we hadn''t, we would have missed these crucial clues and wouldn''t have been able to prepare for the uing battle," John reflected.


    The realization of the Dark Faction''s formidable presence in Styx Town underscored the urgency and magnitude of the threat they posed, making their covert mission all the more critical.


    John felt a sense of relief upon witnessing this scene, grateful for having trusted his earlier judgment. He quickly shared his thoughts with Adam and Blue Sea, who were equally astonished by the discovery. They both agreed with John''s perspective without any hesitation. As they were observing the conditions of the Styx Town training field, a low-tier demon from the field approached them.


    "You must be the new members who have just joined our Dark Faction, right? You three look like adventurers, so let me introduce you to the training field," the demon said, seemingly ustomed to the reactions of new yers who often expressed surprise upon their first visit to the Styx Town training field.


    John and hispanions didn''t refuse the offer; instead, they followed the low-tier demon, proceeding further into the Styx Town training field. This provided them with the opportunity to gather more insights and assess the true capabilities of the Dark Faction within this crucial area.


    "The area you saw earlier is the main hall of the training field. You can train there, but I wouldn''t rmend doing so if you''re looking to level up quickly. Training in the main hall will only provide a moderate increase in your level. If you want to level up faster, you should head to one of the other three specialized training fields."


    The low-tier demon led John and the others to the three pathways they had noticed earlier, each leading to a different specialized training area within the training field.


    "The pathway on the far left is designed specifically for magus yers. By training in the field at the end of that path, a magus can rapidly enhance their spellcasting abilities. Based on our experience, a magus yer can upgrade all their basic spellcasting skills to the highest level by training there for about seven days."


    As the demon spoke, he nced towards John. Despite John wearing an invisibility mask, his ss was still recognizable as a magus. This observation by the demon highlighted the level of attention and detail the Dark Faction paid to new recruits, suggesting they had a well-organized and efficient system for bolstering their forces.


    John simply nodded without saying much, as he had no intention of heading directly to the specialized training field. He believed that going there would pose a greater risk.


    The low-tier demon didn''t seem to mind John''s reticence and continued to exin the other two specialized training areas. "The middle path leads to a training field specifically designed for warriors. Warrior yers can quickly enhance their basic attributes there. As you might be aware, the core requirement for a warrior yer is their foundational attributes. Moreover, uponpleting all the training, warrior yers can receive a free purple weapon provided by us."


    The fact that the Styx Town training field offered a free purple weapon was somewhat surprising to John and hispanions. Purple weapons were not easily obtained in any faction. Even within the Order Faction, only mid-tier NPCs and adventurers had ess to such weapons. Moreover, the various powers within the Order Faction didn''t fully trust adventurers and wouldn''t readily offer purple weapons as rewards.


    This revtion about the Styx Town training field providing such high-value items indicated the Dark Faction''s substantial resources and theirmitment to rapidly strengthening their members. It was a concerning sign for John and his team, highlighting the urgency of understanding and countering the Dark Faction''s growing power.


    As the low-tier demon noticed the particr expression on John''s face, he sensed something was amiss but couldn''t pinpoint exactly why John appeared troubled.


    "Thest pathway is for Assassin yers, leading to a training field specially designed for them. In this field, assassins can quickly enhance their skills and level up their assassin spells. In a short time, an Assassin yer can raise their abilities to a level almostparable to the main assassins of the Order Faction.


    Now, I have introduced all the training fields to you. It''s time for you to make your final choice. You must select one training field tomence your training." n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After exining the details, the demon looked expectantly at the trio, assuming they would make an immediate decision. However, John was hesitant. While the demon was describing the training fields, John had used a Detection spell to observe the actual conditions of the Styx Town training field. His spell revealed that these three pathways didn''t lead to special training areas but rather into the depths of the Dark Realm, areas brimming with dark power.


    Training in these dark power-infused zones might speed up the increase in strength and level advancement significantlypared to normal conditions. However, the revtion that these areas were not just training fields but also deeply connected to the Dark Realm addedyers ofplexity and potential danger to their mission. John had to weigh the risks and benefits carefully before deciding their next move.


    The prospect of yers spending too much time in areas saturated with dark power posed a serious risk. Prolonged exposure could lead to corruption by the dark power, potentially transforming the yers into tools for the revival of Devils within the Dark Realm. Although John and hispanions were using invisibility masks, and John''s formidable strength could somewhat counteract the influence of dark power, venturing into areas heavily tainted with dark power was extremely hazardous.


    During John''s moment of hesitation, Adam and Blue Sea sensed that something was amiss. They could feel stronger demons approaching their vicinity. Adam promptly warned John, "I think we need to make a decision quickly and not waste more time. We might encounter trouble soon."


    Adam''s words were cautious, not explicitly stating the predicament they faced, as he still hoped to keep their identities concealed. John immediately understood the implicit warning in Adam''s statement. Without further deliberation, he quickly scanned their surroundings and noticed several demons nearby, ready forbat. John then turned his attention to the low-tier demon in front of them, preparing to respond to the unfolding situation. Their mission in the Styx Town training field had just be moreplex and perilous, demanding swift and strategic decision-making.


    "We''ve made our choice regarding the training field. Can we now proceed to the training areas we''ve selected?" John said, already prepared forbat. As he finished his sentence, the low-tier demon in front of them revealed a cruel smile.


    "You didn''t think you could really fool me, did you? You''re not new yers here to enhance your strength. Your power is actually very formidable. Although I don''t know the extent of your strength, the fact that you can conceal it suggests you have ulterior motives. Now that you''vee here, I won''t let you escape easily! You foolish pawns of the Order Faction, daring toe directly to Styx Town, are truly overestimating yourselves!"


    After his deration, the low-tier demon transformed into a ck mist and swiftly departed, clearly not wanting to engage in the impending battle himself. As soon as the demon left, the other demons that had been hiding in the vicinity sprang into action,unching an attack on John.


    John remained calm in the face of the demons'' assault. He knew he had to end the fight quickly. Lingering too long in the Dark Realm was dangerous, especially since these lower-tier demons could soon receive support from more powerful, higher-tier demons. The urgency to resolve the conflict swiftly and efficiently was paramount to avoid furtherplications.
