Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 440 Chapter440-Karthus's Plan for Revenge

In the Styx town of the Dark Realm, Karthus, the guild leader of Shadowrealm Guild, was anxiously awaiting the arrival of a person who had promised to provide substantial support.

However, the cost for Karthus was to act according to the mysterious individual's instructions.

"You seem to have been waiting for quite some time," a strange voice emerged from behind Karthus as he waited.

Turning around, Karthus saw a figure cloaked in black.

"You are the one who promised to help me, right? I will follow your plan! But you must ensure that I can successfully get my revenge on John!"

Karthus's motivation was driven by his desire for vengeance against John, who had humiliated him by reducing his level to zero and taking all his equipment.

The person in black nodded with a smile, seemingly pleased with Karthus's attitude.

However, the following words of the mysterious figure put Karthus on high alert.

"I will indeed provide you with help, and I will also assist your guild. However, your guild must take some risky actions. You can't stay hidden in the Dark Realm forever! How can you achieve your goal of avenging John by just staying in the Dark Realm? You must attack the Order Faction!" said the mysterious figure in black.

Karthus, having chosen to base his guild in the Dark Faction, had already contemplated the possibility of one day becoming enemies with the Order Faction.

However, he hadn't expected that day to come so soon.

Moreover, it seemed that the man in black would not provide any direct assistance.

After a moment of consideration, Karthus asked, "Where do you suggest we attack in the Order Faction's territory? Our guild members are mostly active in the Dark Realm. It seems like a huge challenge to attack the main cities of the Order Faction, given the great distance from the Dark Realm, as you must know."

The man in black nodded with a smile, understanding Karthus's concerns.

He had no intention of sending Karthus's Shadowrealm Guild to attack the main cities of the Order Faction.

"You only need to attack the Sunset Mountain. Around Sunset Mountain, there are several peripheral camps of the Order Faction. If you clear out these camps, you will have completed my instruction. After this, I will provide you with some exclusive equipment from Storm City. These items should significantly bolster your guild's strength."

At the mention of Storm City's exclusive equipment, Karthus's eyebrows raised in curiosity.

He immediately thought of the recent attack on the Storm City armory.

If his guess was correct, the man in black was likely a member of the faction that had attacked the armory.

Furthermore, his willingness to assist a guild affiliated with the Dark Faction suggested a possible connection to the Dark Faction.

Karthus, unable to confirm his suspicions, decided to ask more questions to gather additional information.

"Exclusive equipment from Storm City? Are you saying you obtained these weapons from the Storm City armory?" Karthus asked, feigning a bit of surprise.

The man in black affirmed without hesitation, "Yes, these weapons were indeed obtained from the Storm City armory. Is there a problem? If you don't want these weapons, then there's no need for us to continue our cooperation."

Karthus certainly didn't want to end the collaboration.

In his view, doing so would mean losing his chance for revenge and the opportunity to enhance his own power.

"Of course, we are willing to cooperate with you," Karthus responded.

"But I need to make sure that my guild won't face greater troubles. If forces from Storm City were to support Sunset Mountain, our guild alone wouldn't stand a chance."

Karthus's concerns were not unfounded.

While his guild, Shadowrealm, had the strength to eliminate the Order Faction's camps around Sunset Mountain, facing an attack by Storm City's guards would be a different matter entirely.

It was doubtful that Shadowrealm Guild could withstand such a confrontation for long.

The man in black, maintaining a calm demeanor, continued, "You won't need to hold out for long. If you do encounter an attack by Storm City guards, you can simply choose to retreat.

I must remind you that your quest is not of paramount importance.

It's merely meant to distract and confuse the Order Faction's judgment.

As long as they believe that the Dark Faction is poised to attack Sunset Mountain, that will be sufficient."

The man in black decided to clarify the entire plan, concerned that any misunderstanding on Karthus's part could jeopardize the larger scheme.

Once he was sure Karthus understood the situation, he moved on to address what Karthus was most concerned about: the plan for revenge against John.

The man in black outlined a strategy that targeted John indirectly by focusing on his allies: "John is very strong, but he is not without weaknesses. As I understand it, he has formed an alliance with Blue Sea and Adam. We can't directly target John, so let's target Blue Sea and Adam instead.

Additionally, I know he frequently collaborates with players named Rongrong and SkyStars. We can also choose to target these two players. However, our revenge plan must wait until our most crucial plan is complete. If we start our revenge now, John will surely respond, and we will definitely fail."

Karthus was very satisfied with this response.

After discussing and finalizing everything with the man in black, he quickly left the area.

Despite being in the Dark Faction's territory, Karthus didn't feel entirely safe.

If the Dark Faction had spies in the Order Faction, it was entirely possible for the Order Faction to have spies in the Dark Faction.

After Karthus's departure, Kingserp emerged from the shadows.

His power had largely recovered, and he had successfully reached level 150.

Kingserp's rapid recovery of strength was undoubtedly due to the assistance of the man in black.

For Kingserp, the mysterious figure had been true to his word and hadn't deceived him.

"Do you believe what Karthus said? Do you really think he can complete the quest we've assigned him?" the man in black asked Kingserp directly.

His knowledge of Karthus was limited, and his decision to collaborate with Karthus was based on Kingserp's recommendation.

Kingserp nodded firmly.

Although his cooperation with Karthus involved mutual exploitation, he believed Karthus had the capability to complete the task assigned by the man in black.

"I am confident that Karthus has the ability to complete the quest you've given him. However, what I don't understand is why him? Do you really think the guards of Storm City will leave to protect a few camps around Sunset Mountain?

Wouldn't they prioritize the safety of Storm City first? Your plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain seems too simplistic. The people of the Order Faction will surely see through it," Kingserp expressed his doubts about the strategy's effectiveness.

Kingserp was skeptical about the man in black's plan, finding it overly simplistic.

He believed that both Duke Arsena and John would quickly see through a ploy that seemed to aim merely at drawing forces away from Storm City to protect less critical positions like the camps around Sunset Mountain.

To Kingserp, these camps weren't of significant strategic value to the Order Faction, which could easily afford to abandon them, especially since Sunset Mountain wasn't entirely under their control.

The man in black could tell that Kingserp doubted the plan's efficacy but wasn't concerned by this skepticism.

Kingserp was unaware of his true intentions, which extended far beyond a simple feint.

"Who told you that my plan is just a diversion? You have no idea what my real intentions are. Every action is designed to ensure the success of my final plan. Both the Order Faction and Duke Arsena of Storm City will pay the price. And of course, your enemy John will too," the man in black said with a tone of certainty.

At the end of the man's speech, Kingserp responded fiercely, "That would be best!"
