Chapter 421: Sudden Downturn
Main City!
The headquarters of the Heroic Soul Legion, the most perilous and mysterious area of the Time Continent!
Even the Sword Princess couldn’t find a single mention of the Main City in her school. For the majority of spellcasters, encountering the Heroic Soul Legion is the extent of their abilities. Without killing a commander and obtaining a map, they would have no clue about the location of the Main City.
As for stumbling into the Main City area by accident—impossible. Both the Blood Tomb Map and the Star Shrine Map that Ashe possessed clearly indicated that the Main City area was patrolled by at least three legions, and the patrol legions were equipped with “flying” and “scouting” attributes. Any ordinary spellcaster who crossed the boundary would instantly die and be expelled back to reality. It’s a “try it and die” scenario.
Knowing the location of the Main City, Ashe’s team never had the urge to explore it. Firstly, exploring the Main City offered no guaranteed benefits apart from satisfying their curiosity. Secondly, the risks were absurdly high, not to mention they were still being hunted by the Heroic Soul Legion.
Exploring the Main City would be like voluntarily running into a fire with a gasoline can, trying to act as firefighters.
Wouldn’t it be better to steadily climb to the third level of the virtual realm? Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to follow the map and search through the area? Why leave the comfort zone?
Thus, when Ashe realized he was in the unfamiliar Main City area, his feelings were akin to those of a terminally ill patient—”Why is this happening?”
Under normal circumstances, he would never venture into such a place. Even without a detailed map, he would immediately turn back upon seeing the Heroic Soul Legion ahead, just as one would seek shelter upon seeing storm clouds gather.
