Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Huan smacked his head. F*ck! Why didn’t he consider the possibility of such a situation! He had caused the entire plot to be pushed forward!

No, Milu City was no longer safe! The Dark Council’s lackeys had infiltrated the city. Both his life and safety were no longer guaranteed!

He could not stay there another day! While the sky was still bright, he should pack up and set off immediately!

Li Huan made up his mind quickly. He returned to the house that the Witte Chamber of Commerce had prepared for him, hastily packed up and set off! His destination – the Imperial City!

After bidding the Witte Chamber of Commerce a simple farewell, he took a large map and left the city.

It was late morning when he set off. After trekking for most of the day, the sky was gradually getting darker.

Li Huan found a place to sleep in the open, sat down and started a bonfire. As if he was thinking, he scratched his head and said.

“Come out, now. You’ve been following me for a long time.”

The sky had turned dark. There was nobody on the road. In the empty forest, there were only sounds of the bonfire and Li Huan’s own voice.

“Stop pretending. In the beginning, you camouflaged among the contingents of merchants and travelers, so I did not notice you. But their speed of travel is nowhere near mine. Now that they’ve set up camp, how can you explain the fact that you’re still following me?”

Li Huan sighed. Of course, he was not talking to himself. Those from the Mage class naturally had a sharper sense of their surroundings.

It did not matter if someone kept following him. But now that it was almost time for him to rest, he would feel a bit guilty if there was still someone guarding him by the side.

A series of small, crackling sounds came from the dense forest. Someone who seemed to be in tattered clothes walked out slowly.

“Enough, just stand there!” Li Huan shouted angrily.

Arcane Missile had already appeared beside him. On seeing the ready-to-be-fired shots beside Li Huan, the person was stunned and stopped immediately.

“Don’t, don’t! It’s me, it’s me! We’ve met before!”

Met before? Only then did Li Huan notice the level above the person’s head. He did seem to have come across that girl’s voice before.

The person slowly lowered her hood. It was the young female Mage apprentice who had approached him the other day, hoping to travel together with him to the Imperial City.

Li Huan frowned. The magic ball remained beside him. He was not familiar with that person. He had to remain on guard.

“What are you doing here? I told you, I won’t go with you. I’m already in great danger as it is. I don’t want to take another burden along.”

“Let’s go together!”

Seeing that the young girl had no intention of backing down, Li Huan frowned. His magic ball became activated for firing.

“You, you please listen to me first! My name is Lana! My older sister is in the Imperial City. But my family has arranged for me to marry a young noble. I just want to look for my sister. My family must be looking everywhere for me now…”

Lana?

When he heard that name, Li Huan started to hesitate. It seemed like he had heard that name in the game before!

The young girl in front of him was still saying something, but Li Huan was not listening to a single word. He was only searching his own brain for the answer he wanted.

Then he remembered! Lana was the biological sister of one of the Dark Council’s big bosses! That big boss was no joke! A Demigod in the later stages! On par with Li Huan in his previous life!

However, in the game’s plot, no matter what strategies the players tried, she had already turned completely evil by the time they came into contact with her. And become an evil big boss! The plot had mentioned why she had become completely evil and depraved. It was because her biological younger sister had been tortured and killed, causing the drastic change in her personality!

And her sister, was called Lana!

Could it be that her sister’s turning over to the dark side was not inevitable?

Li Huan opened his eyes abruptly! A group of people were approaching at high speed!

Almost instantly, his system received a new mission!

[Lana’s Predicament]

[Mission Objective: Help Lana escape!]

It looked like his guess was right! He had pushed forward the development of the plot in that world. And the lackeys of the Dark Council had started to look for Lana!

But Lana was the biological sister of a later-stage Dark Council big boss! If so, wouldn’t she be considered a member of the Dark Council as well?

Why was it called a “predicament”?

There was no time for him to think now! The other party was pressing closer. He had to react immediately!

In a flash, he had summoned the Skeletons in Undead Space and deployed them in dark areas!

He wanted to see who those people were first. Since the system had given him that mission, he would definitely protect Lana! No one could take her away!

“Don’t panic! Stand behind me first!”

Immediately after Li Huan pulled Lana over, a few people appeared in front of them. They all had the symbol of the Dark Council on them!

“Lana, oh Lana. I have to say, you really can run!”

Li Huan looked over at Lana, but she was completely confused.

“Who, who are you guys?”

Lana stood beside Li Huan, still slightly in a state of panic.

“You, passerby. I advise you to mind your own business! Before I start to get angry, get lost quickly!”

“Passerby” referred to Li Huan.

It turned out that Lana wanted to look for her gifted sister, simply to escape from the control of her family! She had no idea that she was being watched by the Dark Council!

“Sure, but I’m definitely taking her with me. As long as I’m here, you won’t be able to take her away today.”

He did not really want to bother with her. But since the mission had been assigned to him, he would help her!

Li Huan looked at the people before him. A Level 17 Night Shadow Mage, a Level 19 Ice Mage, and a Level 21 Necromancer. If he were to fight them head-on, his chances of winning were not high. After all, he was only at Level 15. Looking at the other party, resolving the matter peacefully would be impossible.

“Why are you guys being so disobedient? Attack!”

That person let out a long sigh, and the two Mages behind him made their moves at the same time, preparing to unleash their skills!

But of course, Li Huan was prepared. At his command, the Skeleton soldiers, Goblin Skeletons and monster Skeletons rushed out and pounced on them!

“Oh! He’s even an unrated Summoner!”

The Ice Mage stepped directly on a [Frost Ring], and all of Li Huan’s Summoned Creatures had a debuff added that reduced their speed!

However, Li Huan naturally had a backup plan!

[Wind-Blessed]

Li Huan swiftly created a cyclone around himself and Lana, then placed his Skeleton army at the rear!

It was better to escape first! The opponent’s levels were clearly higher than his. It would not be wise to stubbornly fight on!
