Chapter 62: Simple plan

”Many tried to reach the Temple by challenging the Guardian, but no one managed to defeat him. Even I couldnʼt do it. After several attempts, I came to the conclusion that no matter how hard I tried, I would not be able to defeat the Guardian.”

All four of them couldnʼt believe Milicaʼs words.

”After all my attempts, I realized what rules apply in this place,” Milica continued, looking at the incredulous faces of her disciples.

”There is a one-on-one rule around the Temple where the Guardian lives. This means that no one can attack the Guardian in a group or crowd. Only one challenger can challenge him at a time.”

The more they listened to Milica, the more questions arose in their minds.

In the end, they decided to refrain and listen to her until the end, and only then ask questions.

It didnʼt take much time for Milica to do everything.

”Master, are you sure we can do this?” Arabel asked uncertainly.

The couple was faced with the task of finding a way to leave Limbo. They had about a month to complete this task. The description did not specify exactly where or what to look for. There were also no hints that the exit was in Forbidden zones. However, based on the information they received and other assignments, they realized that all paths lead there.

Now that the couple has learned more about each Forbidden zone and what awaits them there, they have doubts about whether they will be able to complete the task and return to their world. Especially considering all the rules they had heard, they couldnʼt help but wonder, ”Arenʼt there too many rules?”

”Ha ha ha,” Milica couldnʼt help but laugh when she heard Arabelʼs question, while watching the complicated expressions on her disciplesʼ faces.

”I can assure you that you have every chance of success in conquering the Forbidden zone, unlike me and many others,” Milica said confidently, looking at them.

Although it helped a little, the disciples still couldnʼt understand why Milica was so confident that they could achieve what she couldnʼt.

”Okay, take a look at this,” Milica said, drawing the disciplesʼ attention to the map.

”As you can see, each city borders five out of ten regions. With the exception of the central region, the Forbidden zones will change in the remaining four after the «Reset». The Adventurer Guild has discovered that at least one of the three Temples will appear in one of these regions. If weʼre lucky, weʼll get two Temples,” Milica pointed to the four regions that bordered Usuria, the city where they were currently located.

”Your main task is to conquer the Temple and find out what is inside. You donʼt need to explore all nine Forbidden zones and all three Temples. At the moment, our goal is to find out what is hidden in at least one of them. Only then will we be able to decide on further actions. Maybe conquering one Temple will be enough, or maybe weʼll have to explore all three or even all nine that appear in the Forbidden zones.”

The last thought sent a chill down everyoneʼs spine, and everyone began to pray that one Temple would be enough. If not, then at least three, but not all nine.

”After the «Reset», the Adventurer Guild in each city will quickly find out where and in which region the Forbidden zone has appeared. The guild issues exploration tasks for these zones every time, and you, as a group of adventurers, will be able to take advantage of this,” Milica began to give instructions.

After each «Reset», the Guild traditionally issues tasks to explore Forbidden zones. These tasks can always be found on the issue board, and there are always people willing to complete them.

Milica assumed that it would be difficult for the four of them to go all the way to the central part of the Forbidden zones, so she suggested creating a group with other adventurers to explore the central part more deeply.

One of the reasons Melica decided to take on this task and joined her disciples with other adventurers was the protection provided by the Guild. The Guild has strict rules according to which adventurers who accept a single task and form a group should not come into conflict with each other. The group will be protected by the Guild. This means that those who dare to attack the group during the task will become the enemies of the entire Guild.

Milica, unable to go with her disciples, tried to ensure their safety in every possible way. One of these ways was to join a Guild task. Few people would dare to attack her disciples when they were under the protection of the Guild.

All four of them had an Adventurer Guild membership card, and they were considered real adventurers. As soon as they accept the task and sign up for it, they will immediately be under the protection of the Guild.

Idan couldnʼt help but ask about the Adventurerʼs Guild. How is it possible that she exists in this strange place? And why are their cards valid here?

Milicaʼs answer was simple. Each of the three Limbo cities has its own branch of the Adventurerʼs Guild, which is part of the main organization from the outside world of Junonia.

The relationship between these three branches and the outside world was very complicated, and Milica couldnʼt explain it in a few words. She tried to simplify the situation and said that the existence of these branches in the outside world remains a secret. However, thanks to these connections, they can freely receive information from the outside world.

This, of course, surprised everyone, including Eulalia. She didnʼt know that the Guild had such capabilities. Milica explained that the Guild does not share this information for free. To get it, you have to pay a considerable price.

As one of the leaders of this city, Milica had access to this valuable information. She warned: ”Even under the protection of the Guild, donʼt let your guard down. There will always be people who will not care whether you are under the protection of the Guild or not.”

The world is not that simple, and there is always a chance that something will go wrong. She has already experienced many betrayals and attempted murders in her experience.

”And donʼt forget that not only outsiders will try to attack you, but also the locals. Although the rules forbid them to attack first, they may try to provoke you and force you to break the rules. Most likely, local residents will be hiding among the outsiders. Therefore, never attack first, and if a battle happens, donʼt attack indiscriminately—only attack those who dare to attack you first.”

For Idan and Arabel, Milicaʼs words of warning were like the parting words of mothers when they sent their children to school for the first time. Although they were already adults, they could sense Milicaʼs anxiety.

Milica devoted the remaining time before the «Reset» to share her experience and give advice. She spoke in detail about the guardians and the tactics of dealing with them. And, of course, she shared her ideas and thoughts about why she was confident that they could win in the Forbidden zone.

It turned out to be quite simple. From the very beginning, Milica had high hopes for Nemo and the spirit he had signed a contract with. She was convinced that the Guardian would only match Nemoʼs strength, and not the power he displayed when combining his abilities with Izzy. It was similar to the tactic Nemo used against his doppelgangers: they couldnʼt copy the other creature that lived inside him.

The same went for Idan and Arabel. They both came from a completely different world. Milica didnʼt know how the Guardian would act against the two of them. But she was sure that the Guardian, as in the case of Nemo, would not be able to fully match their full strength.

She also explained to the couple how locals differ from outsiders. Locals are part of Limbo, so unlike outsiders, they are not limited by its limits.

This discovery, of course, amazed the couple.

Simply put, the locals could leave Limbo.

The question arises: why didnʼt Milica take advantage of this?

Milicaʼs answer was simple: to become a local, you need to let Limbo consume you and become a part of it. But that means becoming addicted to it. Besides, no one was sure if the locals could really go out into the outside world of Junonia.

Milica said that not only in Limbo, but also in other dungeons, there are so-called locals who have the same rights as in Limbo. It follows that locals from Limbo can move between dungeons, but the question of whether they can leave the dungeon remains open.

Milica, like the rest of the outsiders from the higher realm, do not want to become prisoners of the dungeon. They want to be able to leave Limbo.

Time passed, and the next «Reset» came. The whole city was covered with a barrier, and the world outside disappeared. After a while, he was recreated again in front of the residents of the city.

Under the guidance of their master, a group of four people went to the Adventurerʼs Guild to take on a mission to explore the Forbidden Zone. They were waiting for information to come out about which four Forbidden Zones had appeared in the surrounding regions.
