Back in the Heavenly Martial Path VRMMO, Xu Tao had once crossed paths with a mysterious figure.
An Evil Spirit—a Dual-Soul Wraith—who had targeted Henrietta and the others for some unknown reason.
No. When he briefly confronted it, he realized its target wasn't really Henrietta's group, but rather him. They were the ones dragged into the mess—not the other way around!
"I never expected to see you here...!" Xu Tao growled.
Of course, they were too far apart for their voices to reach each other. But that didn't stop him from seeing the smug smile on the Wraith's face—as if already convinced of her victory.
And he couldn't deny that their possibility of losing was high.
First of all, they didn't have enough people to handle 20,000 level 400 monsters at once. Second, the only ones who could take on the boss were Jehanne and him. And lastly...
"Third squad, shelter all residents in the castle!" Xu Tao barked. "And protect them there!"
