After Eriga returned, the divine children went from four to five. Even if I played every card I had, there was no way I could defeat five Sovereigns, especially high-ranking Sovereigns... Although I had three Sovereign-level Spirit Servants and one Sovereign-level corpse puppet, they were all only Level 7. The five divine children were Level 8...
Of course, if I couldn't win, I didn't have to fight. As a Night Wanderer and an Illusionist, if I wanted to hide, no one could find me!
Zhang Yuanqing pondered as he smeared on the yellow mud.
Rationally speaking, the best choice was to avoid tonight and not confront the five divine children. Afterward, he could abandon Amini's identity, disguise himself as an ordinary person, and stay in one of the villages outside the castle. That would let him avoid the five divine children.
Once they sacrificed their half-siblings and awakened the so-called sacred artifact, he could sit back and watch the tigers fight, letting the High Priest of the God of Light and the five divine children battle to the death.
But... could this instance really be that simple?
An S-rank instance, where all he had to do was hide and wait for his enemies to tear each other apart until Paphos Island sank, then clear it?
Zhang Yuanqing didn't think so.
There had to be some mechanic that would force me into this. There's no way the instance will let me easily evade this life-or-death crisis... Zhang Yuanqing worked absentmindedly.
"Once it gets dark, I'll hurry up and sleep with Heracine. I need to finish tonight's daily mission first, so I can free up my hands to deal with any surprises."
"Then I'll escape to some secluded part of the island to observe the stars and figure out how to respond."
