Chapter 43 – Episode 43: Against The Three Factions. (1)
I spent the last two days wandering around and enjoying the kingdoms. I look at my skill tab.
Unique Active Skill [Divine Aura Lv. Max]
This is the skill that Saintess Miriam passed it down to me when she dies.
[Divine Aura: Additively Increase status resistance by 25% and amplify healing and regeneration rate by 25% to the whole party members. Duration 30 minutes. Cooldown: 2 hours.]
I found this book inside Miriam's house. A diary was written by Miriam herself. After I read the whole thing, now I understand what exactly the Land of Sigrid is. The land where heroes ascended after they died in this world.. It is also explained the meaning of "Heroes". It's a title that can be obtained from "sacrificing oneself for the greater good". The problem is, I never had that title, so I don't know what to do with that information. Once a person acquired the title, they can enter the Land of Sigrid. That's why the hero had the giant leaf from the Land of Sigrid because he can enter and leave that place whenever he wants.

[The mourning days are over. All the players are removed from the restrictions.]
I stand up and go to the teleportation device then go to the Nortzel Kingdom. The biggest kingdom and the current King is the overlord of the Alliance Kingdoms. The Tombs of Kings' is beneath the Nortzel Kingdom. There are four layers underneath the kingdom, first is the sewer, second is the sewer dungeon, the third is Tombs of Kings', third is the dungeon of the Tombs of Kings'.
The official way to enter the Tombs of Kings' is by completing quests from the King of Nortzel Kingdom. It's only available to the player from the Alliance Kingdoms' faction, then on the 30th quest, he will give a permission letter to enter the Tombs of Kings' to the players. By showing it to the guards that are protecting the path to the underground inside the palace, the player will enter the Tombs of Kings'. But, they can't enter the dungeon yet because the gate to enter the dungeon are sealed by magic. They need to do the 100th quest from the King of Nortzel Kingdom to get the permission's ring to enter the dungeon.
There's a way to enter the Tombs of Kings' for the players that are not from the Alliance Kingdoms' faction, but it will take a lot of effort. First is by entering the maze sewer through the sewer system outside the city, then after they entered the sewer, it will take days even weeks to find the right way to go to the sewer dungeon for the first-timer. The second is by passing through the sewer dungeon, it's another maze but it's more complicated. Then the player will find a small hole that a person can fit, after entering the hole, the player will be in the Tombs of Kings'.
I'm inside the sewer system now and it will take me around 2 or 3 hours to enter the sewer dungeon since I know the right way and I have [Moonsteps] skill. Then it will take around 4 or 5 hours.
The monster in the sewer dungeon was annoying since they're swarming me as soon as I entered the dungeon. I used skill [Frenzy] to try it out. As soon as I activated it, my whole body is overwhelmed by it. I felt like I can destroy a whole kingdom on my own. I couldn't control my own body and all I could do is watch my own body moving on its own. It was a new experience for me. I'm amazed at how good my body moves. My body used all the skills I have like I'm on autopilot. Then I realized that my body was too busy killing the monsters than walking towards the exit. I wasted an hour massacring the monster. Then I used [Moonsteps] and went to the hole that leads to the Tombs of Kings'.
I enter the Tombs of Kings' and nobody is here. I believe they're all waiting outside the palace or at the gate to enter the Tombs of Kings'. I'm they will be shocked when the VoW announces that Krestan's eye has been stolen.
I walked around the tombs to find Krestan's eye that is buried in here. I already spent hours finding it and still haven't retrieved it.
(Outside the palace.)
Ivonna and the others are waiting for the other players to come. Francesca and Emma are checking inside the palace to see if the guards that are guarding the gate are still alive.
Michael is yawning.
"This is kind of boring… For how long are we going to stay here?"
Leonardo is playing with his staff.
"Well, I believe he will be here tonight. He said that he will try to get Krestan's eye when he got the location from the Saintess."
Hans is looking at Ivonna.
"Ivonna, I have a bad feeling about this."
They're all looking at Hans. Ivonna furrows her forehead.
"What do you mean?"
Hans is rubbing the bottom of his lip with his thumb.
"He is the beta tester, right? Do you think he will walk in through the front door? Don't you think he would have another way to enter the Tombs of Kings'? There should be another way to enter the Tombs of Kings', right? Since the entrance is preserved for the players from the Alliance Kingdoms' faction."
Michael and Leonardo's mouths are wide open. Ivonna immediately contacting Francesca and Emma. When Ivonna is too busy contacting Francesca and Emma, Kingstar. Queenstar, and his commanders come. Kingstar is looking at Ivonna with confusion since Ivonna is too focused on whatever she's doing. Kingstar looks at Michael.
"What's wrong with her?"
Michael explains everything to Kingstar and he clenches his fist.
"Do you think it's possible?"
Queenstar is looking at Ivonna.
"Hey, do you think that possible?"
Ivonna glares at Queenstar and exhales deeply.
"There might be a way to enter the Tombs of Kings'. There's a sewer underneath the Nortzel Kingdom. It's like a maze and underneath that, there's a sewer dungeon. Not just in this kingdom, but all the kingdoms have sewer systems and dungeons underneath them."
Queenstar looks around.
"So where exactly are the Tombs of Kings'at? Is it at the same level as the sewer dungeon? If so, then there's a chance that it has a way to enter the Tombs of Kings' from the sewer."
Ivonna looks at Leonardo since he's the one who knows the details about the kingdoms' structures. Kingstar and Queenstar are looking at Leonardo. Leonardo nods.
"The Tombs of Kings' is one level below the sewer dungeon…"
Kingstar slams his sword on the ground.
"Damn it! Show me the way to the sewer!"
Leonardo is looking at Ivonna. Ivonna shakes her head.
"It's not possible. The sewer is bigger than you think. If you're lost inside the sewer it will take hours to find a way back. Even if you manage to get into the sewer dungeon, you will have to explore it again. That excluded the possibility of not finding a way to the Tombs of Kings'. You will waste hours of your time for nothing."
Queenstar is pissed.
"Then what should we do!"
Michael is looking at Queenstar.
"Relax… That's why we are here thinking about the plan."
Ivonna is looking at the screen in front of her.
"I'm waiting for my friends' replies right now. So be patient for a minute."
Seven Diamond and Lothair Ermes came. They both were looking at them and they could the intensity around them. Then they asked what happened to them. Michael explained everything to them and both of them understood the situation. But then Ivonna's expression changed. She looked back at the palace.
"He's inside! Let's form the party now! I will bring 19 players from the other factions so they can enter the Tombs of Kings'. Michael, Hans, Leonardo. Bring 19 players from the other factions to your party as well."
They were all surprised and immediately formed a party without asking what is happening. Ivonna requested the other players that have the permission letter to enter the Tombs of Kings' to form a party with the players from the other factions as well. Suddenly Emma and Francesca came out of nowhere. They were all surprised to see them came from outside, not from inside the palace. It only meant one thing. They died when they tried to stop him. Since Emma hasn't gotten the permission letter to enter the Tombs of Kings', Emma is already at the same party with Francesca. Then Ivonna ordered Francesca to brought 18 players from the other factions to enter the Tombs of Kings'.
After everyone is ready. They immediately walked inside the palace and went to the entrance to the Tombs of Kings'. Then a VoW appeared.
[Voice of the World]
[Emergency quest!]
[A player stole something precious inside the Tombs of Kings'. Find the player and the Kings and the Overlord will give a hefty reward to the player who managed to capture the culprit. The culprit will be restricted to leave the Tombs of Kings' for 1 hour by the system. Find the culprit before the time runs out. Every player from the Alliance Kingdoms' faction now can enter the Tombs of Kings' for the time being.]
Kingstar, Queens, and everyone at the front is looking at the VoW. They all say.
"F*ck!"
Ivonna then ordered the players from Alliance Kingdoms' faction to form a party with the other factions since they can enter the Tombs Kings' without even needing a permission letter. After they all formed the party. They entered the Tombs of Kings'.
Everyone is looking at a guy with a hooded robe and red scarf holding twin chained sickles. The guy is looking at them.
"I have been waiting for you all to come here…"
