Chapter 53: Task Upgrade, Hunt the Skeleton King!
[🎉 Shoutout to _Gezerus_ for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]
Inside the City of the Dead, Zhang Yue and Su Jingyan were teamed up, hunting Skeleton Mages.
To be honest, Zhang Yue had to admit that this time, he really owed Su Jingyan a lot.
Without her help, even if he could complete the [Against the Reaper] quest, it would have taken far too long, well past his deadline of finishing it before tonight!
Even if he could clear the Skeleton Island secret realm on his own, he wouldn't have gotten the treasure scroll for the secret realm!
From the start, Zhang Yue helped Su Jingyan break the restrictions of her cursed class, Evil Fate Body, allowing her to fully awaken her potential. As a Forbidden Mage, she repeatedly saved Zhang Yue at crucial moments.
It was as if the curse that had plagued Su Jingyan for three years had been waiting for Zhang Yue to be the one to break it all along!
After several days of working together—killing monsters, completing quests, and tackling dungeons—their coordination had grown increasingly seamless.
At the beginning of this whole adventure, Zhang Yue had believed: "I'll walk this path alone, like a lone wolf, with no attachments, until I reach the summit of this alternate world."
But after having Su Jingyan, this Forbidden Mage, by his side, his feelings shifted: This is actually really nice!
As for Su Jingyan, her feelings towards Zhang Yue had also evolved. What began as gratitude slowly turned into admiration. And now, she found herself increasingly fascinated by him.
