Reborn as a Transcendent

‘What's going on?'

Yaeger was puzzled after hearing that ‘ding'.

"An announcement to all players in Linhnan server. Jade City's underground maze has been opened. It'll become officially available for entry after 24 hours. By then, all of you can explore that place to your heart's content and seek your own fortunes.

This event is limited to 24 hours. It has a certain amount of danger. Proceed at your own risk."

Yaeger was stunned after listening to the broadcast.

Richard interfering had already ruined her plans. But now, even all the players on Linhnan server were about to involve themselves.

It was nothing but a mess!

At this moment, all players on Linhnan server were overjoyed.

Although they didn't know the level of the underground maze, they knew that it was probably no easy endeavor since the system informed them of its existence using the server-wide announcement.

For example, Epic Equipment. No, even Unique Equipment.

Perhaps even more. Even Legendary and Mythical Equipment.

Perhaps even better. There was probably an Artifact!

For a moment, all players on Linhnan server were in an uproar like water boiling in a pot.

Within the forums, in the city, outside the wilderness, everyone had heated discussions about the maze.

S.K.Y. and Taurus Zhang were both stunned when they heard the system broadcast, their expressions gradually becoming twisted.

A few hours ago, they were deeply frustrated after knowing Yaeger had to reach Level 30.

No one would ever expect that the Black-hearted Princess would reach Level 30 within a short span of 2 days.

As expected of [Princess], being able to easily complete an otherwise impossible task. They would never think that way.

‘Cheating. She must be cheating!'

Indeed, this was what they sincerely thought.

As players who had grinded their levels to 20, S.K.Y. and Taurus clearly understood the astronomical amounts of experience needed to level up in this game.

It was already hard to reach Level 20, Not to mention Level 30.

How would she earn the astronomical amounts of experience points needed if she wasn't cheating?

S.K.Y. and Taurus couldn't think of another explanation.

It didn't matter if Yaeger cheated. The reality was that she had reached Level 30.

They were worried that Yaeger might leave the Jade Empire. If that happened, all the time and effort they invested would be rendered useless.

Fortunately, [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen], who was a member of the [Princess Alliance] was still a long way away from reaching Level 30.

As long as she remained in Jade City, S.K.Y. and Taurus wouldn't be worried about [Princess] running away.

However, they still had little to no time left.

Since the cheater, Black-hearted Princess was around, [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] reaching Level 30 was definitely not a difficult task.

Time and experience points were what they desperately needed right now.

Just now, they were worried because of it.

"What a timely opportunity!" S.K.Y. clenched his fists tightly after hearing the broadcast and slammed the table hard.

"Hahaha, we are blessed by the heavens after all!" Taurus was overjoyed as his smiling face became even more twisted.

"It'll start in twenty-four hours, which is eleven o'clock at night tomorrow. Young Master Zhang, we need to prioritize on leveling up now!"

S.K.Y. quickly settled down and pushed his nonexistent gold-rimmed glasses.

Taurus suppressed his smile after hearing that. "Yes. The main team's level and Equipment mustn't fall behind. They must be fully prepared to enter the maze tomorrow!"

Then, he created a guild mission and assigned all his members to it.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

• On the balcony.

Yaeger facepalmed with a sullen look.

Initially, their best case scenario was that they were able to sneak inside the maze without anyone's notice, retrieve the item that could nullify the curse, and return without anyone's notice.

Nobody would be alerted.

However, Richard made everything a lot more difficult.

‘Damned Emperor!' At this moment, Yaeger was spiteful.

"What?" Suddenly, Alicia, who stood beside her, became excited.

"What's wrong?" Yaeger put down her hand and looked over.

"The underground maze is open to the public." Alicia returned the communication orbit into her pocket and took a deep breath, before responding in a jovial mood.

"Why didn't Richard just lock the entrance down? Instead, why would he allow outsiders to enter?"

Yaeger didn't think that the system made this happen.

"It's because of the ancestral teachings. Once the underground maze opens, people must enter to undergo its trials. Otherwise, terrible things will happen."

Alicia explained.

"Terrible things?" Yaeger tilted her head slightly.

"I don't know about the specifics either. Anyway, it won't be good for the royal family."

"But why can't Richard just send a few people inside? Why would he make it available to the public?"

Yaeger wondered.

“Because it's in my hands.” With a wave of her hand, the silver sphere levitated. "To be frank, this sphere is capable of spatial teleportation once it gets near the maze.

Yaeger instantly came to a realization after hearing that. It turned out that when Alicia said that they still have a chance, she was referring to the fact that they could use the teleportation capabilities of the maze's key to enter directly.

However, the word "near" left a lot of room for interpretation.

“That's why Richard opened the maze to the public. He plans to use these people to disrupt our plans. Of course, I'm sure he has other tricks still hidden up his sleeve." Alicia said.

"I see. Do you need me to do anything now?" Yaeger asked.

Alicia shook her head. "Just be prepared. I will solve this problem as soon as possible."

"Alright then." Yaeger nodded.

They had only 1 problem: They had to get close enough so that the key's teleportation ability could be activated.

As a member of the royal family, and especially since he was the Emperor, Richard naturally knew about the secrets regarding the key.

That range was undoubtedly the best place to lay an ambush.

In a certain mansion inside the inner district.

Clack clack clack!

A sudden burst of quick and heavy footsteps were heard outside. Under the moonlight, well armed soldiers swarmed outside the fences. They were all deeply unnerved, tightly gripping on to their weapons.

At this moment, the mansion's gate was opened.

“What's going on with you guys? Are you rebelling?"

A petite figure walked slowly and spoke grimly.

"Deputy Captain, please stay!" The moment they saw that figure, a macho and heroic-looking young man stepped up and said.

"Are you all really rebelling against me?" The petite figure, Lili, half squinted her eyes. With a grim expression, she held massive battle-axes on each hand.

“No, that's not true! We are here to protect the Deputy Captain under the Emperor's orders! Please don't make things difficult for us!"

The young man sweated bullets, spouting lies that not even the stupidest idiot would believe.

"Do you really think you useless pawns can stop me?"

Lili raised her head and tightly gripped onto those 2 menacing battle-axes. A horrifying aura surged from her body and enveloped the scene like a hurricane.

"What if I'm included?" At this moment, a black figure landed in front of her and spoke calmly.

Lili's eyes became wide after identifying that person. "Captain!"

"Yes, it's me."

They stared at each other and attacked almost simultaneously.

Boom!

Two powerful forces collided and created a deafening noise.

In the palace, a handsome man who was about 30 years old sat on the throne.

"Indeed, you're trying to unseat me. My poor sister, why won't you just die in a dark corner somewhere?"

The man spoke, and his voice echoed around the massive hall.

Crack!

Suddenly, the throne's ornate armrest shattered once he grabbed it hard.

"I, Richard, will be the Emperor. As I have been, as I am now, as I always will be!"
