Level Up Legacy

As the situation was escalating in Kera, the Guild of Ascent was facing turmoil of its own. Suyin stared at the stack of reports on her desk and then turned toward the men on her couch.

"As we said before, we are here to help," said an old man with a bald head while sipping his tea. "Please make use of our abilities."

Suyin wanted to cry. Sister Julia had left her as the acting vice guild master while she was gone. During that time, the teleportation arrays connected to the Eldoria Kingdom.

Master Ronin and Mr. Tate were two figures known throughout the world. Even Suyin, who had spent most of her life in Helios, knew about Master Ronin. He was a famous seer who had predicted countless disasters.

"Is what you said true?" asked Suyin while rubbing her temples as she looked at Master Ronin. "About the disaster in Kera?"

"It is what I have foreseen," explained Master Ronin with a nod. "The calamities are scheming to use Kera as a stage to summon a terrifying god. Arthur is already fighting against them, but it's too late to stop this now."

"How come you predicted this just now, old man?" asked Melania, another visitor from the Eldoria Kingdom. "You should have said something sooner."

"I don't control when I receive the visions. They are given to me and cannot be demanded," Master Ronin explained again. "What is your decision, Vice-Master Suyin?"

Suyin was once again thrown into a pit of despair. She had wanted to be a part of Ascent all this time, but not to be given such an important position. According to Julia, she trusted Suyin the most to lead things in a level-headed manner.

Yuran should have been the ideal choice, Suyin thought. However, he had been a little depressed ever since Tiara left for Janea to fight against the escalating famine. In the end, Suyin had given him permission to follow her.

Rae and the rest of the guild members were fighting against the different calamities around the world. Most of them were scattered across the globe to handle the ongoing threats of the Merge. Suyin remained the sole defender of the guild after Li and Julia left as well.

"Have we been able to reach him?" asked Suyin again, but her assistants shook their heads. If Arthur were here, he would know what to do. In the end, she had to make a decision on her own.

An alert popped up on her desk, and Suyin opened it. It was camera footage of something going rampant in the first layer. As she stared at the footage, she jumped from her seat.

"A vampire?" muttered Suyin in confusion as she saw the goblins circling around the enemy, but many had already fallen victim to this monster.

"This must be a distraction," explained Mr. Tate, rising from his seat as well. "It might be a way to divert Arthur's attention from more important things. They want to attack his base while he's gone."

Suyin nodded in agreement before rushing out of the room. The vampire was killing her goblins, and they couldn't afford to lose a single one. She hurried to the first layer and found the intruder.

A giant monster of blood and flesh seized a goblin by the throat and crushed its neck before it began to devour its blood. Suyin felt her rage boiling inside her as she rushed forward. Before she could kill the monster, Mero came swinging a sword.

Light flashed, and the monster was severed in half. Suyin stopped running and stared at the monster collapsing on the ground. Then, she turned toward Mero, who was sheathing his sword.

"I apologize for stealing your thunder, my lady," Mero said with a smile. His goblin-like features had long since disappeared, but his green skin remained. "It is my duty to protect my fellow goblins."

"No need for apologies. How did this vampire enter the dome?"

"It is unfortunate, but one of the goblins allowed it inside. It seems the vampire took control of their mind. In either case, the threat has been neutralized."

Suyin wanted to believe that was true, but she knew the monster was still alive. She could feel its soul still burning brightly before her. Mero followed her gaze and watched as the vampire began regenerating, its different body parts reattaching. Then, the monster began to rise again.

"What kind of ability is that?"

"Vampires are almost impossible to kill, but I'll handle this," Suyin said as she strode forward, taking out her hairpin. The small piece of jewelry morphed into a sharp blade in the next instant. "When facing a monster with regeneration, you must destroy the soul."

The vampire, a mess of flesh and blood, screamed as it rushed toward Suyin. In one elegant swing of her blade, she slashed the vampire apart. It took several more steps before collapsing on the ground, dead.

"Whoever sent this vampire wanted to cause a disaster here," Suyin explained as she stared at the goblins. "Please call back anyone outside and inspect them for anomalies. We must prevent any more infiltrations."

"How did you kill it?" asked Mero, confused and in awe as he appeared beside Suyin. "Your attack didn't seem to damage it."

"Souls are more fragile than bodies. I sent its soul to the afterlife, that's all," Suyin explained as she placed the hairpin back in her hair. "I need you to form a task force, Mero. Take whoever you need to investigate the situation in Kera. If you can enter the city, let me know."

Mero nodded, and Suyin walked back to the inner layers. Her mind was full of worries as she considered calling Julia to warn her. However, there was no answer from the other side, as if Julia hadn't even received the calls.

As she was walking, Suyin felt a pulse of mana wash over her. It took her a second to realize that this mana belonged to Arthur himself. She stopped, almost bursting into tears, but took a deep breath and remembered that their guild master was the strongest man in the world.

Then, she walked back into her office to find Master Ronin sitting on the ground. Mr. Tate was next to him, checking on him. At that moment, Master Ronin looked at Suyin with dread.

"Something bad is about to happen in Kera."
