"Phew..."
The moment he returned home, Wu Yan seemed to lose all his strength. He sank onto the sofa, letting his entire body weight rest against it.
With the back of one wrist pressed to his forehead, Wu Yan stared silently at the ceiling. His eyes were completely unfocused, as though he had lost himself, his thoughts drifting away with his mood.
Things had truly reached a terrible point...
Chloe von Einzbern!
This little girl had only been born yesterday, only received a name today, and did not even know what her own existence was. Yet she had suddenly barged into the dispute over the Class Cards and now seemed to have become entangled in a cruel fate...
The Archer Class Card was inside Xiao Hei's body!
Moreover, according to Xiao Hei, Archer had become the very thing sustaining her life!
To obtain the Archer Class Card, they would have to kill her!
In other words, even if Wu Yan did not kill Xiao Hei and reclaim the Archer Class Card, those who wanted the Class Cards—such as the Mage's Association—would inevitably come knocking and target Xiao Hei's life!
Wasn't such a fate cruel?...
Wu Yan did not know exactly what kind of existence the girl he called Xiao Hei was, why she had appeared, why she had been born, or why she lived by relying on the Archer Class Card.
However, there should be no mistake that the Archer Class Card was on Xiao Hei—or rather, inside her body...
And that made things troublesome...
The second stage of the Path to Demigod quest required him to gather all seven Class Cards.
Now, aside from Archer, the other six had all fallen into Wu Yan's hands.
