Chapter 792 - Focus Group?
**************
It all makes sense to Alina now.
What she thought was an unstoppable calamity was actually just an additional feature in their mission, one that was obviously applied by the Endless Monarch.
And for it to be a Bonus Mission even makes more sense.
"…So we really have a Bonus Mission now, huh. I wonder why one chose to occur here. Was it because of something we did, or did the Endless Monarch plan this all along?" Alina muttered as she tuned out Asteria's complaints behind her. "Well, the motive behind this doesn't matter that much. What I should focus on instead is discovering what the Bonus Mission actually is…"
[Hey hooman! When will you give my honey?]
[I want it so bad right now!]free(w)ebnovel
[Please give me my honey!]
[Hey! I said give me my hone-]
"Shh, be quiet. I am busy here."
Alina had already heard enough from Asteria this time, so she nonchalantly ignored the latter while she immersed herself in her thoughts again.
The fairy won't be able to tell her anything after all at this point, so it will be better for Alina to just focus on herself.
"The last Bonus Mission that we had was announced at the moment that it was established. Since that was the case, then this Bonus Mission should have been announced on us too."
"But that did not happen. Instead, our Guides were silenced and we were forced to deal with this situation by ourselves."
"…"
"…"
"This chain of events only means one thing. And that was that this Bonus Mission was special, to the point that it had to be kept secret, even from us!"
"As for why this Bonus Mission was special, I still have no idea for that!"
By this point, Alina felt that her efforts to survive were slowly reaching her aimed goal.
She just needed a little bit more clues to advance, and she will be the victor here.
But it was there that Alina realized something, one that made her pause in her tracks.
"…As of now, I have no more clues to gather from Asteria or from myself. This means that I am basically stuck at this point unless I have other avenues on where I can get more info." Alina shook her head deprecatingly as she realized that she had already ran out of information sources.
She of course expected to reach this point, but not this early, when she was almost about to discover what her Bonus Mission is.
"Since I already reached a dead end in investigating using my own knowledge, I must use other avenues to learn more." Alina muttered as she grasped her chin. "But where should I exactly look for more sources of information?"
"It's not like I can just pull any clues out of thin air, right?"
***************
With her long stay with Alex, Alina had already developed a shrewder mind.freeweb novel.com
She learned how to spot suspicious things, as well as how to decipher the intentions of her enemies and what they could be planning behind the scenes.
These learnings might only be a small help to Alina on her battles, but here in the tomb, these were the things that guided Alina to her goal.
"Wait a second…. Since this is a Bonus Mission, then it is possible that I am not the only one who could be receiving this Mission."
"The other Travelers… should also be recipients of this Bonus Mission!"
"Yes, that makes sense, since their Guides are also acting like Asteria too!"
Using her improved observation skills, it only took Alina a second to realize that her situation was not unique.
Since the other Travelers and Companions were sharing the same fate as her right now, it must also mean that they too were forced to do the same Bonus Mission!
Since this was the case, then these Travelers might have some idea about what the Bonus Mission is!
***************
"These Travelers might be our enemies, but for this time, I can accept working with them."
"It is our survival that is at stake here, so I have no qualms on cooperating with them."
"I just hope these people also think the same way…"
With her mind out of any other options, Alina chose to do the most logical thing at this point.
And that is to share her discoveries to the other Travelers, along with a demand for cooperation and sharing of information.
(Hong long long~)
(Hong long long~)

Due to the intensity of the battles around her, Alina chose to use a low-levelled dark magic to transmit her thoughts to the nearby Travelers.
This ensured that her thoughts will reach these people, while also having a minimal effect on the battlefield.
(Hong long long~)
Which is what exactly happened, as a few seconds later, all the remaining Travelers and Companions shivered as they received Alina's message.
They resumed battling not long after, although they all began looking at Alina's direction with great interest on their eyes.
(Hong long long~)
"Tsk, I wish these Travelers will not be that sc.u.mmy to just keep quiet after all the clues that I gave them. Surely they won't just ignore me at this point, right?"
"If they do, I will personally make their lives hell…."
Alina might not be as psychologically savvy as Alex, but she knew that desperate situations can make people act differently.
In this case, having their lives on the line could make the Travelers act favorably with Alina.
Well, it should make them act this way, but who knows how her enemies will treat her 'help'?
"Okay… I can see that my message was of great help to these Travelers. They were all giving me interested looks after all, so my message must have made them realize the existence of the Bonus Mission."
"Wait, don't tell me that they didn't realize this sooner?"
"Ugh, who cares about that. What I should worry instead is the actions that these Travelers would do."
"Would they share anything that they know to me, or will they keep it to themselves?"
"Tsk, they better start sharing it, since I told them that cooperating is the best way for us to survive here…"
