Chapter 594 Chapter567-The Naga Queen's Gift
Since Duke Arsena and General Natasha had already agreed to John's request, John himself had no further hesitations.
He promptly proceeded to the Naga tribe with Duke Arsena and Natasha in tow.
Legend Magus Shatras of the Naga tribe had also prepared thoroughly for the impending battle.
Upon their arrival, Shatras addressed the trio without delay.
"Her Majesty the Queen is already apprised of our forthcoming endeavors. She wholeheartedly endorses our plan to launch a counteroffensive against the Dark Faction. As such, Her Majesty has extended additional support to our cause."
Without further ado, Shatras unveiled a bag he had brought along.
To everyone's amazement, the bag was filled with gems.
However, these were not ordinary Ocean Gems; they were exceptionally rare and of the highest quality.
The Naga Queen's willingness to part with such high-grade Ocean Gems underscored her genuine desire for John and his team's mission to succeed.
"We are immensely grateful for Her Majesty's support. Rest assured, we will utilize these Ocean Gems to ensure our mission achieves significant success," John declared, accepting the gems without any reservation.
He was convinced that these Ocean Gems would substantially aid their upcoming endeavors.
Duke Arsena and General Natasha, of course, also accepted these gems.
They were well aware that once the Naga Queen had offered such a generous gift, it was unlikely to be withdrawn without cause.
Upon witnessing all three accepting the gems provided by the Naga Queen, Shatras continued, "Her Majesty has provided more than just these Ocean Gems. She has also bestowed upon you a substantial number of scrolls. The marine spells contained within these scrolls are incredibly potent. I have personally examined all the scrolls, and I can assure you that they are ready for immediate use without the need for additional magical energy or effort on your part."
Shatras then handed over the scrolls to the trio. John, naturally skeptical, took a moment to scrutinize the scrolls thoroughly.
After his examination, he was convinced of their authenticity and nodded to Duke Arsena and Natasha, signaling that further inspection was unnecessary given their lesser expertise in magical scrolls compared to him.
"Her Majesty must have her reasons for providing such extensive assistance. Does she expect us to undertake some additional tasks?"
John inquired, directly addressing Shatras after accepting the scrolls.
He was under no illusion that the Naga Queen would offer such significant aid without expecting something in return.
Although the Naga Queen had previously shown a slight sense of regret towards John, he understood that she was a being of great rationality.
Such a rational individual would not offer substantial assistance merely out of a minor sense of apology.
As John had anticipated, Shatras hesitantly nodded in affirmation.
"Indeed, Her Majesty does wish for you to render some additional aid. During your journey to the Dark Realm, she desires your assistance in eliminating a particular Devil within - the Abyssal Fearmonger."
The mention of the Devil's name alone hinted at its significant connection to the oceanic realms, suggesting a formidable adversary.
John nodded, perceiving the request as reasonable.
Their mission to the Dark Realm was, after all, aimed at vanquishing its Devils, and the Abyssal Fearmonger, by name alone, seemed a significant threat.
"Since Her Majesty wishes us to eliminate this Devil, she must possess some knowledge about it. Could she provide us with specifics about this Devil's abilities, as well as its weaknesses and strengths?"
John inquired, seeking strategic information to ensure their mission's success.
The Abyssal Fearmonger turned out to be a Devil that even the Naga Queen held in considerable dread.
This fact alone indicated that it was no easy foe to confront.
The Naga Queen's previously demonstrated power suggested that she was indeed capable of contending with a Devil.
Her inability to face the Abyssal Fearmonger alone hinted that this particular Devil's strength surpassed that of others.
Shatras nodded, then relayed the Naga Queen's insights without omission.
"The Abyssal Fearmonger differs significantly from the other Devils of the Dark Faction. While the rest might engage directly with members of our Order Faction, the Abyssal Fearmonger prefers to lurk in the shadows.
Only by uncovering its true form can we hope to vanquish the Abyssal Fearmonger. However, its penchant for hiding also works to our advantage; the creatures it summons are not as formidable as itself.
Until we discover its true form, we will not face its full onslaught. Our immediate concern should be to fend off the attacks from other Devils."
After Shatras finished describing the characteristics of the Abyssal Fearmonger, John turned his gaze towards Duke Arsena and General Natasha.
He wanted to discuss with them whether they should undertake this quest.
Duke Arsena was the first to speak, "Our objective in venturing into the Dark Realm is indeed to weaken the Dark Faction. However, the extent to which we can diminish their power is uncertain.
Likewise, the Devils we might encounter during our mission are unpredictable. If we do not come across the Abyssal Fearmonger, we won't be able to fulfill the Naga Queen's quest. I believe Her Majesty would understand such unforeseen Fearmonger, we won't be able to fulfill the Naga Queen's quest. I believe Her Majesty would understand such unforeseen circumstances. After all, our mission is not solely to seek out the Abyssal Fearmonger."
The concerns expressed by Duke Arsena were shared by both Natasha and John.
Their mission was not specifically aimed at locating the Abyssal Fearmonger.
And if the Abyssal Fearmonger's nature was as elusive as Shatras described, it could simply hide.
Would they then be expected to search indefinitely for this Devil in the perilous Dark Realm?
Following Duke Arsena's remarks, both John and Natasha looked towards Shatras for his input.
Without hesitation, Shatras nodded and responded, "The Queen had already considered your concern. If we are unable to locate the Abyssal Fearmonger in the Dark Realm, we should not go out of our way to seek it. Her Majesty believes that if we cannot find the Abyssal Fearmonger, it likely poses no immediate threat to us. In that case, we can focus our efforts on other Devils of the Dark Faction."
With Shatras having clarified the situation, Duke Arsena had no further questions.
After some contemplation, Natasha also felt satisfied with the arrangement.
"In that case, we shall accept Her Majesty's quest," Natasha concluded.
"During our mission, we will endeavor to track down the Abyssal Fearmonger. Should we fail to find any trace of it, we will proceed with our original plans. Please convey this message to Her Majesty. We will set out after you've informed her."
Shatras nodded in acknowledgment and promptly departed.
In his absence, John discussed the situation further with the others.
They all anticipated challenges ahead and understood the necessity of preparing for significant dangers, which underscored their belief in the difficulty of completing the Naga Queen's quest.
Living up to his promises, Shatras made a rapid return, bearing the news that aligned perfectly with the anticipations of John and his companions: the Naga Queen had indeed given her consent to their proposal, confirming their expectations without deviation.
In the absence of any additional communications from the Naga Queen, John and his companions found themselves at a crucial juncture, ready and determined to set forth on their impending expedition to the Dark Realm, driven by a sense of urgency that underscored the importance of their mission.
John, accompanied by three other formidable members of the Order Faction, made their way to the teleportation array located within the sea.
Upon arrival, John noticed that the dark power emanating from the teleportation array had intensified compared to before.
However, this surge in dark power did not deter John's resolve.
He had meticulously prepared for this mission and was fully committed to seeing it through.
There was no room for hesitation or retreat; he was determined to execute the plan as devised.
