126. Stealth

The White Tower Spirit, also known as Arcane Consciousness, is the treasure of the [Arcanists].

At this moment, what they cherished as their lives was like a candle flickering in the wind, its light gradually dimming.

Finally, a crisp sound, like shattering glass, rang out.

The sphere of light dimmed completely and shattered into pieces amidst the sorrow and despair of Ilin and the others.

Countless fragments flew up and exploded in mid-air, turning into firefly-like specks of light, as if attracted by something, disappearing into the void in a certain direction.

The mysterious aura emanating from the entire White Tower finally vanished completely.

"Arcane... what have you done?"

Ilin's eyes were filled with disbelief.

In that indescribable and irresistible attack, darkness, carrying death, surged forth like a tidal wave. The sixth seat [Mechanical Master] was the first to fall, followed by the White Tower Spirit!

Even the two [Grand Arcanist] beside him were lost!

"That attack just now... seemed to have an 'instant death' effect... If the judgment fails, it means death..."

Slayden Walter was covered in cold sweat. "The reason most of us and the people in the White Tower survived is because the Arcane Tower Spirit blocked this terrible attack for us! And... most of the power of that attack was directed at the Tower Spirit. Is this the authority of a god? Even Evil God!"

"Um?"

Inside the White Tower.

Sulu stared at his Three-Leaf badge, stunned to see that the light on it had completely dimmed.

"I can feel... the powerful force that had been enveloping the White Tower has completely dissipated..."

With that in mind, he didn't linger and rushed to the career information shelf.

To his surprise, there wasn't much information about professions on the fifth shelf; it was located at the very top of the bookshelf and consisted of only about seven or eight books.

If you still can't find it here, you'll have to go to the sixth floor...

Sulu glanced around and a copy of "The Dimensional Walker Notes" caught his eye. He breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness!"

He quickly took the book, and the barriers inside the White Tower completely disappeared.

The White Tower's contract and oversight capabilities were originally built upon ' Arcane,' and now that Arcane has been destroyed, it will naturally no longer have any effect.

[Ding! Detected Tier 4 job information - Dimensional Walker. Requires Tier 3 prerequisite jobs: Shadow Warrior, Agility 6.0, Constitution 5.0! Agile Footwork LV4... Requirements not met! Unable to accept the job!]

"Got it."

After recording his profession information in the Attribute Panel to ensure it wouldn't be lost, Sulu stared at the bookshelf, his eyes darting around.

Without a second thought, he quickly pulled out several books on fourth-tier professions and began writing them down.

[Ding! Detected Tier 4 class information -- Brawl Master...]

[Ding! Fourth-tier job information detected - Demolition Master...]

[Ding! Fourth-tier profession information detected -- Alchemy Master...]

"Unfortunately... there's no information about the [Dream Master]!"

Just as he was quickly taking notes, shouts of battle suddenly came from beneath the White Tower, along with a large number of footsteps and other noises.

"The cultists have already stormed the White Tower?"

Sulu paused, for he was a man of great judgment. He immediately withdrew and hid in the shadows.

The [Rogue] is an excellent Assassin, capable of effectively concealing himself by using shadows and light.

As I slowly descended the stairs, reaching only the second floor, I witnessed a scene of utter chaos.

Death Cultist, along with Demon cultists who have begun to transform and whose appearances are now hideous, are locked in a fierce battle with the people who had originally sought refuge in the White Tower.

Although the researchers in the Inner Circle all had professional ranks, they clearly lacked practical experience and could only retreat, seemingly heading towards the third level.

"A great opportunity!"

Upon seeing this, Sulu's heart stirred, and he immediately crept over.

Although the [Rogue] is an advancement of the [Soldier], it leans more towards the Assassin!

This chaos provided him with excellent cover.

"What a pity! We're still missing a dagger!"

He approached a second-tier [Doom-Bringer], a pale-faced young man who was excitedly cursing several researchers nearby, seemingly oblivious to the danger approaching him.

"Now!"

Sulu suddenly emerged from the shadows, leaped out, and grabbed the professional by the neck with both hands.

The opponent is a prerequisite class for [Necromancer], and like many magic-based classes, they are most afraid of decapitation tactics!

"Spirit Pressure!"

As he attacked, Inspiration struck, and he focused his energy on one direction, aiming at the [Doom-Bringer] youth.

Under the terrifying pressure, the young man was stunned, and the curse spell remained stuck in his throat.

In that instant, his fate was decided.

Sulu smashed through the defensive force field with a punch, grabbed his neck with both hands, and twisted it forcefully!

Ga!

With a sickening sound, the [Doom-Bringer] fell to the ground, its neck twisted 180 degrees, its eyes wide open in despair, but the light within them gradually faded.

[XP+200]

An experience value appears in the Attribute Panel.

"Ers is dead?"

"Kill that attacker!"

Several professionals shouted and surrounded them.

Seeing this, Sulu smiled easily, retreated rapidly, and naturally joined the circle of professionals in the White Tower.

Upon seeing him arrive, the leading [Arcanist] gave him a relieved smile, clearly not minding Sulu's previous absence.

Perhaps this was interpreted as him deliberately hiding and looking for an opportunity.

Thus, today's little adventure can be considered a complete success.

However, Sulu's mood was not particularly pleasant.

' The Inner Circle... seems to be gradually becoming unsuitable for me.'

Previously, he joined the Inner Circle simply to find a reliable power to rely on.

But today's attack shattered some of Sulu's illusions. Even a Federation like Green Tree Castle is targeted. In this era of fierce competition, where can one find absolute safety?

'I used to have many shortcomings, but the information about the White Tower in the Inner Circle has filled those gaps, while the experience I gain from reading books is becoming increasingly limited... Perhaps it's time for me to go out and travel, gathering more experience!'

Sulu lowered his eyelids, his gaze dark and brooding.

Besides that, his biggest reason for wanting to leave was Beatrice!

The fact that their location was detected during a previous two-way communication incident may well be related to the Black Death Society's involvement in this attack.

Even without the White Tower's Mist Lock, the Inner Circle might not be safe, nor could it defend against assassination attempts!

After all, he wasn't an important figure and didn't receive any top-level protection.

If we fail to defend ourselves even once, there will be no future, and we will suffer a complete defeat!

Meanwhile, Beatrice's continuous upgrades are also forcing Sulu to improve his class rank as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the gap becomes too large, it's entirely possible to be cursed to death from afar!

'Perhaps... I should find an opportunity to leave?'

It must be said that the disappearance of the Arcane Tower Spirit has given Sulu an excellent opportunity!
