Chapter 692: Chapter 401 Evil Disaster (Part 1)_2

Rod hesitated a moment, refraining from immediately stepping forward because the Book of Knowledge warned in his mind, "The divinity gains from this task are unclear, there might be some changes, it’s better not to accept. Defending the station can secure at least 15 points of Divinity, and we can harvest many strong souls, which we are currently lacking."

Jon took a second look around, and a short stature person hesitated before stepping forward.

"Lord Jon, I’m not sure if I can do this, my Spiritual Vision is 91, but my Soul Resistance isn’t particularly high, and I often have to take Purification Potions to ensure the purity of my soul."

Jon was silent for a few seconds. The ideal choice was obviously Rod, but since he hadn’t stepped forward, it indicated he might have a bad premonition.

In dangerous tasks, high-rank combatants’ intuition and premonitions are very important. It’s a basic principle to avoid involving those with bad feelings about an operation.

The high-rank combatant before them was named Agus; he had suffered very serious soul trauma and strictly speaking, did not meet the requirements for this mission.

Jon looked around for a third time, still no one stood out.

Actually, Jon was well acquainted with all the high-rank combatants present, including each of their characteristics, skills, habits, and abilities. But the real key lied in their intuition.

This spiritual touch is quite wonderful, and making the best use of it, according to experience gathered over thousands of years by the Royal City, is crucial.

Jon sighed inwardly, just about to decide on a person, when Rod suddenly took a step forward.

"Rod of Redstone Village, Starfire Series, nine Fire Sparks, absolute Spiritual Vision, extremely high Soul Resistance, very strong self-cleaning ability, Spiritual Power Level ten, Strength 3000 kilo-ticks, skilled in all combat positions, no nickname."

A ripple went through the crowd.

Though Rod’s reputation had spread far and wide, high-rank combatants, constantly immersed in tense battles, didn’t pay much attention to someone they hadn’t fought alongside. The data Rod reported about himself were particularly dazzling.

This was Rod’s first battle as a Second Level combatant.

"Absolute Spiritual Visionary!"

"My God, we have an Absolute Spiritual Visionary among us!"

"Extremely high Soul Resistance and self-cleaning ability? Isn’t that beyond what can be described as genius?"

"He’s from the Starfire Series, huh? It’s been a long time since I had a Starfire Series comrade. I thought he was a Spiritual Fire with a Soul Trait of ’black rice bucket.’

"So young and already skilled in all positions? A powerhouse of the new generation, you’re not bragging, right?"

"Why would he emphasize not having a nickname? If he doesn’t have one, he could just not mention it..."

Rod was pleased that Jon quickly cut off the inquiry with his words.

"Rod, are you sure you want to participate? Is your intuition fine?"

Rod answered decisively, "Confirmed, no issues."

"Master."

The Book of Knowledge wrote in his mind: "I don’t quite agree with this choice, but I support the master’s decision. The most dangerous part about exploring ancient ruins is the unknown, and the most important is knowledge. The spirituality in my soul is fully restored, and I can find answers to certain problems for the master."

"Very good." Rod was very satisfied with the change in the Book of Knowledge and asked without hesitation, "Book, can you foresee what the biggest difficulty in this operation might be?"

The Book of Knowledge gave a positive reply.

"I can, although it’s not knowledge. But with spirituality fully restored, my inspiration is very sharp, hmm..."

It paused for a moment before writing.

"I have a premonition that something related to the number 51 will bring an evil omen. Avoid 51."

Rod felt reassured in his heart and said with a smile, "Book, you’re amazing."

"Of course."

The Book of Knowledge flipped a page and walked away with a haughty air.

Ahead, Jon continued to inquire, "Rod, at the Third Station, the Second Station, and the Fourth Station, do you have any objections?"

Two resounding voices came from the crowd, "No."

Rod quickly added, "My station also hosts my Battle Group, and the three of them are support personnel with no front-line combat capabilities. Please look after them."

This time, a bigger stir occurred in the crowd.

"What?"

"He has his own Battle Group?"

"Isn’t he a Second Level combatant? Spiritual Power Level ten, Strength 3000 kilo-ticks, that’s correct!"

"Aren’t only First Level Combatants qualified to form a Battle Group?"

Jon immediately quelled the questioning voices.

"His situation is special! Now, please return quickly to your combat positions, the operation has not ceased. Team members, follow me, this mission will be led by me and Lily."

The crowd soon dispersed, and three people followed Jon and Lily, heading westward.

Rolling Black Fog swept towards them but was repelled by the lanterns at the waist and Red Tear Stone brooches on the chests of the group.

It was the only power that could truly counter the Black Fog; otherwise, even the strongest of souls would gradually corrode and go insane in the fog, eventually becoming irrational monsters.

Even the King Candidates who possess the "Eternal Burning Fire" would not be an exception.

The delicate Misole cast a faint shadow over the group, which, according to her, could transfer the life aura, soul disturbance, and Spiritual Energy fluctuations all onto her.

She would then use a Silent Blank Rune to shield herself, reducing disturbances to a minimum.

Jon nodded slightly. Indeed, it was a highly effective stealth strategy. Using a Silence Rune on everyone would greatly reduce its effectiveness due to interference among the runes. In regular areas, it wasn’t a problem, but this mission was to the extremely dangerous Soul Devouring King Castle where the acute perception of powerful creatures could turn such a minor flaw into a deadly threat.
