Nearing the Forsaken Tower, Rex asked Crimoria to explain to him the situation.
He has heard so troubling things about it and needed clarification.
Based on the soldiers' banters that he heard, the place has been a thorn city under the noble house of Aurelius' territory. Rex wanted to know the situation, to prepare himself and also the others, in case the last hunting ground wouldn't be as easy as the previous ones.
Perhaps learning more about the Singing Lady, his next prey, would be great.
Crimoria gave him what he wanted and explained the situation.
As per the briefing, the last area Rex is going to take care of is the Forsaken Tower.
The Forsaken Tower was located right beside a bubble belonging to the Mahkam Ruin, an ancient and historical place—with the natives still inhabiting it. It was the ho of a great number of Voidal Monsters that resided within the area.
Power-wise, most of them ranged from Ascendant Spirit to Immortal Spirit.
But there are exceptions.
For the longest ti, the native had already adapted to the tower's presence.
None of them seed to be having a problem living with the tower so close by.
All of them knew the tower's behavior and area, thus knew the right ti to get in and out of the bubble. So, the warriors among the natives, even used the tower to train their skills—but recently, ten years ago, the Mahkam Ruin requested assistance from the noble house.
For so reason, there was a change in the Forsaken Tower's pattern and behavior.
Now, the tower unleashed a tide at an interval that devastated the surroundings.
Despite the unsettling changes, the Mahkam Ruin remained unworried, they were protected by a Gate-class Obelisk of Life. But everything shifted when the arrays sustaining the bubble suffered a sudden malfunction.
Every ti the tower unleashed the tide, the bubble flickered and allowed the devastation to get inside.
Voidal Monsters inside the dark tide bled into the ruin, killing anyone that their claws could reach.
Although these Voidal Monsters were not too strong and would perish in about an hour, the natives were still having a hard ti protecting themselves, mainly because this happened randomly. Or at least, they haven't figured out how to know when the dark tide will happen.
Naturally, the natives were stressed.
Not to ntion, the dark tide was gradually occurring more often.
It was understandable for the natives to request help.
Due to the historical significance as well as the importance of the ruin, providing materials along with a few different crucial magical herbs—to create potions, the Aurelius Noble House sent a few teams to take care of the situation, but all of them failed.
In the process, tens of thousands of natives perished.
Ca the breaking point when the leader of the ruin died after the third raid.
Once the new leader, Grant, succeeded as leader, the Mahkam Ruin turned hostile against their lords. In fact, the Mahkam Ruin has already been branded as a possible traitor. So even considered the area near the ruin a no man's land, it was that bad.
Rex listened attentively and found the last place to be a troubleso one.
"Do the changes have sothing to do with the Singing Lady?" He asked.
"Most likely," Crimoria nodded. "As far as I know, the Singing Lady was dormant until recently."
"How strong are the previous teams sent to handle this?" Rex looked at Crimoria's eyes intently.
It was a detrintal question that would help him gauge his chances of succeeding.
Since this would be the last test from Great Elder Rosa, the Singing Lady must be a strong monster, one that is worthy to reward Rex with confidence from the Aurelius Noble House. Rex was expecting those teams to be composed of high-ranking Immortal Spirits.
Although he didn't think Rosa was unreasonable, she might give him an impossible task to complete.
But the truth was way worse.
"Most of them were Immortal Spirit 5, the leader is a Master Immortal Spirit." Crimoria answered.
Rex rubbed his forehead when he heard this.
Not because he was worried about himself, but he was worried about the heirs.
He might be forced to exclude the heirs from taking on the Forsaken Tower since it was too dangerous.
Just then, a few notifications appeared out of nowhere.
