Chapter 442 - 292: Hero Arrives_3
Moreover, unlike the flame of the Guardian Fire, the allure of the Holy Fire Seed far exceeds the monsters’ natural aversion, drawing countless monsters to vie for its possession.
The monster that ultimately holds the Holy Fire Seed must be the most powerful creature in that region.
"Can’t we just assassinate it?" Rod couldn’t help asking, feeling uncertain about battling such a formidable enemy.
The King shook his head slightly, "Impossible, once we cross into the non-human stage, our souls shine like bright lamps in the darkness, continuously attracting monster attacks. Thus, high-rank combatants rarely fight far from Trolian."
Archbishop Horus added, "Unless we use a powerful talisman or an imprint to hide the soul, but that is very costly and generally not used."
"Most importantly, it’s almost impossible for us to stealthily enter Tasnia Starry Sky City. Even if we were lucky enough to get into the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, we couldn’t possibly kill the monster that devoured the Holy Fire Seed in one strike."
"The battle with it would be incredibly long and difficult. By then, the entire Starry Sky City would be alerted, and countless monsters would swarm in, ensuring the mission’s failure. If high-rank forces were to suffer losses, that would be unacceptable for us at this time."
Rod suddenly understood.
"So we can only attack Starry Sky City head-on, clear the entire city, and then surround and annihilate the monster at the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, right?"
