Chapter 189: Alliance and Entanglement

At the same time, Kun was still struggling to trap the Deathsworn Troops.

His Sin Body was already tattered, and his healing speed was starting to fall behind the rate of destruction. The huge commotion attracted many onlookers from the Adventurers Guild.

"Oh my god, is this some kind of new trap? It can actually surround people..."

"The people inside seem to be of high levels, but they're still trapped..."

"This trap wouldn't be out of place on the Fifth Layer; this group of people is really unlucky..."

To escape as quickly as possible, the Deathsworn Troops completely unleashed their strength, and intense magic power fluctuations spread everywhere.

Victoria observed carefully and was the first to discover that magic was almost ineffective against Kun, while physical attacks could cause significant damage.

Thus, Victoria immediately ordered the Death Servants to take out their magic items and start hacking at the RV.

"Your Majesty, I'm about to kick open the door," a Death Servant with the Berserker profession said excitedly. "The vines on top are all broken..."

"And these windows, in three minutes at most, we can get out..."

"I found this strange vehicle... seems to be very afraid of my evil-dispelling treasure bead?"

Kun endured the severe pain, constantly taking hits from the Deathsworn Troops. Healing consumed his Sin Origin, which was the source of a Demon's power.

If his Sin Origin was depleted, Kun would turn into a lifeless withered tree, only able to root himself in place and enter a deep dormant state.

At that time, Kun would become extremely vulnerable. He would no longer be able to self-repair, and any lumberjack could take his life.

Kun really wanted to run away. Demons were mysterious and cunning beings; no Demon would recklessly confront high-level professionals head-on like him.

Demons relied on deception and trickery, playing with people's hearts while constantly achieving contractual victories, wise and composed.

But now, Kun felt like a stupid tree spirit.

Just as Kun was in despair, Dick's telepathic message sounded like heavenly music.

"Alright, your mission is complete. You don't need to wait for half an hour; you can let them out now."

"Y-yes, my Lord!"

Although he didn't know why Dick suddenly changed his mind, Kun chose to obey immediately. The RV began to dismantle and transform.

Soon, Kun turned into a black mist and fled at high speed. He didn't want to be entangled with the Deathsworn Troops for another second.

Facing Kun's unannounced departure, Victoria and the Death Servants were all dumbfounded, leaving only a large amount of withered branches and rotten leaves at the scene.

"Take medicine, pursue immediately!"

Without time to wonder, Victoria immediately ordered the pursuit of Elizabeth.

Although the assassination was exposed, it had come to this point, and there was no turning back. Even if Elizabeth escaped outside, Victoria had to try.

Neither the staff of the Adventurers Guild nor the guards of the Royal Capital could protect Elizabeth; only the high-level magic formations of the Royal Palace could protect her.

The Deathsworn Troops was strong. If they fought to the death, as long as Elizabeth didn't return to the Royal Palace, there was still a chance to kill her.

Victoria clenched her fists, making a silent vow in her heart.

Elizabeth must die today. Even the gods can't save her, I said so!

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Gaia Dungeon, Spirit Snake Madam was sitting on a sofa, talking with another person.

"Living for so long, I've really seen all sorts of strange things. I never thought that one day, a Floor BOSS would invite the President of the Adventurers Guild for tea and a chat."

Fama sat across from Spirit Snake Madam, still looking listless. Although he looked like a frail old man, his terrifying strength was enough to instantly kill the level 58 Spirit Snake Madam.

Just now, Fama, who was sitting in his office, received an urgent report from his staff, saying that this Snake Madam wanted to discuss some matters with him.

Originally, Fama was too lazy to bother with this snake. The highest priority now was the purple longevity divine flower; everything else could be put aside.

However, the matter Spirit Snake Madam wanted to discuss was precisely the purple longevity divine flower. Although he was surprised, Fama came over immediately.

At this time, a barrier had been set up around them, isolating sound and blocking sight. No one knew that the dignified Guild President was chatting with a Floor BOSS at the Underground City entrance.

"Hehe, there are even stranger things to come," Spirit Snake Madam let out a charming laugh and looked at Fama, saying, "President, perhaps we can cooperate."

Hearing this, Fama was slightly startled and said indifferently, "Interesting, but what can I gain from cooperating with you?"

"Longevity!"

As soon as Spirit Snake Madam said this, Fama's breathing stopped for a moment. Regardless of the content of the cooperation, with "longevity" as the bargaining chip alone, Fama could not refuse.

A few seconds later, Fama looked at Spirit Snake Madam and said in a deep voice, "Tell me the details."

Seeing that Fama had taken the bait, Spirit Snake Madam didn't waste any words and immediately repeated Dick's telepathic message word for word.

"My male Pet, Dick Grudia, an excellent human youth, is in danger and is being pursued by a group of bandits."

"As for the reason for the pursuit, I can frankly tell you, it is precisely because he possesses a five-hundred-year purple longevity divine flower."

"If you, President, were to take action and help kill those greedy bandits, the matter of longevity would naturally be resolved..."

This was forming alliances and entangling relationships. Enemies could become friends, and strangers could become enemies.

Cooperating with Fama and having him deal with the Deathsworn Troops was the way to break the situation.

Victoria wanted to kill Elizabeth, which created an irreconcilable conflict with Dick, leaving no room for negotiation.

However, Fama needing the purple longevity divine flower was not an irreconcilable conflict of interest. After all, ultimately, Fama just wanted to extend his lifespan.

As long as this point was grasped, Fama might not necessarily be unable to become a partner, turning from an enemy into a powerful ally!

After thinking for a moment, Fama raised his eyes and looked at Spirit Snake Madam, shaking his head. "I've never liked being a pawn for others."

"Why should I cooperate with you? Even if Dick Grudia dies, the purple longevity divine flower will still be mine."

Fama was very smart; he had long seen through the essence of the matter. As long as he guarded the Underground City entrance, the purple longevity divine flower would definitely be his.

As for whether the purple longevity divine flower was in Dick's hands or in the hands of another group of greedy bandits, did it matter?

Kill them all, and the purple longevity divine flower would be his own. What was the need to talk about cooperation?

However, Spirit Snake Madam seemed to have anticipated this, or more accurately, Dick had predicted that Fama would say this.

"A five-hundred-year purple longevity divine flower can extend your lifespan by at most four hundred years," Spirit Snake Madam curled her lips into a smile and said softly, "Is that enough?"

Fama's pupils contracted, feeling his mouth dry. He subconsciously murmured, "Do you have a way to extend my lifespan even more..."

"So, can we cooperate now?" Spirit Snake Madam asked slowly, enjoying the feeling of manipulating human superiors.
