CHAPTER 657: CHAPTER 404: LURING THE SNAKE OUT OF ITS HOLE

"Is this raiding team that intruded into Kolos City comprised of five people?" Lu Heng asked with curiosity.

Queen Orelana nodded and answered, "Yes, five people, the same as the last time they appeared."

If this raiding team is indeed five people, things might seem a bit odd.

Su Muyu also noticed the discrepancy: "Something doesn’t seem right. There are four of us, plus this raiding team, which makes nine people. Adding Ke Yiming and Clyde Saville, it becomes eleven people, which is the wrong number, unless..."

According to the normal summoning rule, the number of summoned people would be a multiple of 5, such as 5, 10, 15...

Now, there are 11 humans, exceeding the scale of 10 people. At this stage of the situation, it’s unlikely there are other hidden summons.

"Must the summoning scale be a multiple of 5?" Lin Zeyu raised a question.

Next to him, Fiona nodded and confirmed, "Yes, the Elf Clan hasn’t seen a number that doesn’t conform to the summoning rule for hundreds of years."

Su Muyu looked at Lu Heng with a questioning tone: "Could it be that Clyde Saville is not a Summoner?"

This possibility does exist.

After the Abyss Battlefield opens, the summoned world is not closed. As long as one has the ability to teleport to this world, they can be brought in.

In other words, if Clyde Saville uses the Spirit Summoning Technique, leveraging the Bone Sovereign’s power to teleport here, and isn’t part of the Summoner quota, the summoning scale remains 10 people.

Lu Heng pondered for a moment before making a request: "Can you recreate the previous battle so I can see this raiding team?"

By the time they rushed back, the battle had ended, and only the Frost Bone Dragon was seen fallen. They didn’t see the raiding team from the Creator Organization.

Queen Orelana stood up, walked to the center of the domed hall, took out her Arcane Staff, and lightly tapped the air.

Arcane Energy surged forth, forming a three-dimensional image in the air, recreating the battle from that time, looking identical to a holographic image.

Lu Heng moved closer to observe the battle up close and saw the five people in the raiding team.

All five members of the raiding team wore masks, obscuring their features, but each mask was different.

For instance, there was the Pharaoh’s golden mask, Red Beard’s mask with two patches of red beard, and a scar on Blade-Marked’s mask.

With these distinctive features, one could recognize each individual’s identity with a glance.

After viewing, Lu Heng noticed a detail.

During the battle, not all five members of the raiding team fought with full force; some members had low combat participation and did not display their full combat power.

Upon discovering this detail, Lu Heng had a thought but couldn’t be sure. He then asked, "Does the Elf Clan have detailed information about the ’Death God’s Deputy’ class?"

Queen Orelana originally intended to shake her head, as the Elf Clan indeed knew of such a class but had no records before yesterday as no elf had ever obtained this class.

However, Fiona interjected and said, "Albert has returned to nature, so perhaps..."

Hearing this, Queen Orelana changed her response, "Perhaps the Knowledge Ancient Tree knows. We can ask."

After an elf dies, they return to nature through tree burial.

The memories of these elves during their lifetime also return to nature, but not completely dissipate. Some memories flow into the Knowledge Ancient Tree through Natural Magic.

This is why the Knowledge Ancient Tree is aware of all the knowledge and history of the Elf Clan.

"I have a question that I need to clarify. I want to see the Knowledge Ancient Tree. Does Kolos City have the roots of the Knowledge Ancient Tree?" Lu Heng asked.

"Yes, follow me," Orelana deliberated briefly and then led Lu Heng and the others to the Ancient Tree Space in the northern city of Kolos.

The Ancient Tree Space in Kolos City is not the same as in Moonshadow Forest, but the rooted Knowledge Ancient Tree is the same tree, different roots of the same tree.

Upon entering the Ancient Tree Space, Lu Heng nodded in greeting and then asked his question.

The Knowledge Ancient Tree was silent for a long time before responding: "I indeed saw Albert’s memories before he passed. He obtained the ’Death God’s Deputy’ class, and the way to acquire this class is very special."

Upon hearing this, Lu Heng’s heart began to race because it confirmed his guess.

The Knowledge Ancient Tree continued, "The ’Death God’s Deputy’ class is obtained through a scythe of the same name. This scythe is also called Death God’s Deputy. Once a being acquires the scythe, it will siphon blood, and after absorbing 30% of the blood, grant the power of the scythe making them the ’Death God’s Deputy.’"

Indeed!

Before entering, Lu Heng had already considered this possibility. Although the specific abilities of the Blood-colored Scythe were unknown, he guessed that the scythe was key.

Until the Knowledge Ancient Tree mentioned the specific figure, he did not know that the Blood-colored Scythe would siphon the host’s blood.

This method is equivalent to sacrificing blood.

After absorbing the sacrificed blood, the Blood-colored Scythe bestows class power upon the host.

This way of acquiring a class is highly unique but indeed exists.

Similar special classes are recorded in military archives, but they are extremely rare.

Lu Heng initially didn’t know that the ’Death God’s Deputy’ was acquired through such a special method; he subconsciously thought it was through Class Source Material.

After all, in the previous life, he only knew who acquired the ’Death God’s Deputy’ class but didn’t know how it was obtained.
