After making an oath with Finaris, Kane immediately informed his companions through the Ruby Lapel Pin.
They gathered in front of the command department.
Kreya, holding Yoyo, stood by Kane’s side, squinting her eyes and staring intently at Finaris.
Finaris squinted her eyes as well, wearing a smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Longbei and Meizike were chatting to themselves.
Only Lulula flew around the two of them, her face full of laughter.
"Kane, what’s the deal with her?"
Faced with Kreya’s question, Kane didn’t answer directly but said, "No rush, we’ll discuss it when we get back."
Listening to Kane’s words, Kreya didn’t push further.
Everyone swiftly headed towards a certain house within the fortress at a fast pace.
Soon, they arrived in front of a three-story small house, opened the door, and filed in.
This house was their temporary residence given by the Volcano Fortress, and it was much better compared to the Black Stone Fortress.
The various structures and facilities were built to provide a better living environment.
Once inside, everyone sat around the large round table in the center of the living room.
They all stared at Kane, waiting for his explanation.
Clearing his throat, Kane gestured to Finaris beside him and said, "Saintess Finaris, you should all know her; her true identity is the Spirit of Freedom of this Dungeon."
Upon hearing Kane’s introduction, everyone’s expressions showed a hint of surprise.
To be honest, they hadn’t noticed along the way and always thought the Saintess was still a replica created by the Dungeon.
Besides her inexplicable enthusiasm towards Kane.
Thinking back, it should have been the thick Mist aura she sensed on Kane.
"Why bring her here, is there something important?" Kreya asked.
"That’s what I’m about to discuss next."
"You should all know what the Spirit of Freedom represents, but..."
Kane suddenly raised his voice to draw everyone’s attention.
"This Dungeon is a historical silhouette type, now do you understand?"
With Kane’s hint, everyone suddenly realized and nodded.
Even Lulula nodded along with them, though it was unclear if she understood.
Longbei’s voice suddenly became excited, saying, "So she has experienced all the battles of the Holy War firsthand, and not just once."
To Longbei’s question, Kane nodded.
Then how can we not clear the level?
But Kreya directly grasped the key issue, this woman didn’t seem like a good person at all.
To Kreya’s question, Kane rolled up his sleeve slightly to reveal the intertwining gold and green pattern on his wrist.
At the sight of the pattern, Kreya immediately stood up, asked nervously, "What is this? Is it a curse?"
As she spoke, a longsword appeared directly in her hand.
Kane quickly held her hand.
"No worries, no worries, it’s just a form of a contract."
Hearing Kane’s explanation, Kreya nodded, then put away her weapon and returned to her seat.
Then Kane began to speak of his promise with Finaris.
"She helps us clear this Dungeon, and once we’ve gained the ability and opportunity, we need to help her achieve true freedom, which means leaving the Dungeon."
After Kane finished speaking, everyone looked at Kane with a "Is this even possible?" expression.
"This condition was proposed by Finaris herself, it has nothing to do with me." Kane offered a small explanation.
Finaris watched their reactions the whole time, realizing that her condition seemed very easy to achieve, thinking she might have underestimated her side.
However, this situation didn’t upset her but made her even happier. It indicated that her desire for freedom was not difficult and, in fact, very simple.
It could be considered the best news she had received, and her smile became even more radiant.
Kreya and the others couldn’t help but glance at Finaris’s expression, seeing her smile growing more radiant.
An inexplicable feeling of guilt surged in their hearts, as if taking advantage of an honest person.
Seeing all his teammates consent, Kane turned his head to look at Finaris and said.
"Now, it’s your turn to share the information you think can be of help to us."
After speaking, Kane placed Yoyo directly on the table to record their conversation and allow Yoyo to analyze it at any time.
Finaris smoothed her golden hair by her ear, and began softly recounting the original history without any Explorer intrusion to everyone.
In the original history, they failed in this particular battle.
After finishing her narration, Finaris cleared her throat and then said with a serious face.
"You all seem to think the reason for the failure was because during the last decisive battle, our side had insufficient troops, correct?" This update is available on ɴovelfire.net
Listening to her words, everyone nodded because they indeed thought so.
"No, it wasn’t because our forces weren’t enough. During the second loop in this time period, I tried to preserve our living forces just like you, but still failed."
"Did you ever successfully win the Holy War?"
Longbei couldn’t help but ask with some confusion.
To Longbei’s question, Finaris nodded lightly and continued, "Of course, I have succeeded, otherwise how would I dare to boast that I could help you achieve victory."
She pulled out a map from inside her robe and spread it out in front of Kane and the others.
Then she pointed to a spot in the area from the first line of defense to the Volcano Fortress.
"Here, there’s actually a place of energy dispersion, and the energy source is the Demon Commander. During several battles, the Demon Commander already opened a tiny gap in the seal, allowing his energy to disperse out.
After our retreat, this place will be occupied by the Demon Army, and they will subsequently open an Abyssal Teleportation Gate. Though its energy is limited, the surging demons would be unmatchable even if we gather more forces."
Hearing this, Kane asked, "Then if we directly seal or destroy this energy dispersion point, can we succeed?"
To Kane’s question, Finaris still shook her head and then swept the map off the table.
"Actually, none of this matters because even sealing this point now doesn’t guarantee victory."
Are you just messing with us by saying so much?
Finaris leaned back in her chair and sighed heavily, "Because during the previous two loops, I discovered that the opposing Demon Commander Bartos had also become free."
What’s the point in fighting now, the opponent has an all-seeing map cheat.
