Chapter 546: Chapter 546 - The Last Stand of Vensalor
[SexyGrill: "I need your help for an expedition that might take quite a bit of time, but trust me -it'll be worth it."]
"Oh... Bloom-if it weren't for yesterday's battle, she probably would've never agreed to meet you in-game," SexyGrill said, giggling.
As she chatted with him, Broken glanced down at his private messages and saw the message she'd sent, contrasting with her casual tone.
Is this meant to be a private conversation? he wondered, and decided to follow along, letting her continue.
[SexyGrill: "I stumbled upon an extremely rare quest. It's an SS-rated quest."]
His eyes widened slightly, catching her mischievous grin, though her message was anything but lighthearted.
An SS-rated quest? He'd never seen anything that high before; his own top-rated quests were challenging enough at S-rank, and even those were far from complete due to their immense difficulty:
[Deity Bane Quest I - Take Possession of The Sword of Dissidia]
[Deity Bane Quest II - The Dragon Princess' Call]
[Path of the Legendary Blacksmith]
[Can You End the Suffering?]
Each one of these was only an S-rated quest, yet each demanded monumental effort. But she had discovered a quest at SS-rated?
[SexyGrill: "Have you ever heard of the Vensalor Kingdom?"]
Broken's heart skipped a beat as he read her message. He looked directly at SexyGrill, feeling a rush of recognition. Vensalor Kingdom, the floating island... It was a name he hadn't heard in ages, yet it struck a deep chord in his memory.
[Broken: "The floating island?"]
[SexyGrill: "How do you know?"]
Broken paused a moment before replying.
[Broken: "I heard about it when I was a kid?"]
[SexyGrill: "What? Really? How? That's... interesting. Could this just be a coincidence? So, do you want to know more about this quest?"]
Broken nodded in response to her question.
He paused, trying to organize the flood of memories suddenly rising in his mind. Vensalor- he'd heard this name long ago, and the memory was still vivid.
When he was a child, before his parents left, his mother would often tuck him in at night with stories of an elven kingdom on a floating island. She described a vast realm, suspended in the sky, where the elves lived in harmony, hidden away from the rest of the world.
The idea of an island in the clouds had captivated young Leon's imagination, filling him with wonder and fascination. He'd spent hours drawing it out, imagining the lush forests, the glittering towers, and the magic that held the island aloft.
It was a story that stuck with him-one that had colored his childhood dreams. And now, hearing its name in Immortal Legacy was nothing short of surreal.
Wait, could this really be a coincidence? The name Vensalor... it had to have come from somewhere. But still, there was no guarantee it was the same Vensalor from his mother's stories.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As he puzzled over the connection, SexyGrill gave him a knowing smile and sent over the quest information.
[The Last Stand of Vensalor]
[Rating: SS]
[The long-forgotten elven realm of Vensalor has sent a desperate plea. Their ancient floating kingdom, hidden for centuries, now faces an imminent threat from the demon horde. Protect the kingdom from this dark invasion, defend the floating island's sanctity, and ensure the survival of the elven legacy.
The elves of Vensalor promise great rewards, but only if you prove yourself worthy. Will you stand as their shield against the demons and bring victory to the lost kingdom?]
[Clear Conditions: - Protect the Vensalor Kingdom and its floating island from the demonic invasion.
- Hold off the demon forces until the elven defenses are secure.
- Destroy the demon portals to cut off reinforcements.
- Secure key locations across the kingdom as directed by the elven forces.]
[Clear Rewards: - Rewards will be determined by your final performance and contribution to the defense.
- Potential rare items, legendary equipment, or exclusive elven enchantments await those who ensure victory.]
[Quest Failure: -]
Broken was silence, his mind racing. The details of this quest felt too familiar-too perfectly aligned with the stories told to him as a child.
How?
The elven kingdom, Vensalor, was under threat from demons who aimed to destroy it, seeking to harness the kingdom's power and its legendary floating island.
How could this be?
"Broken, you look a little spaced out," SexyGrill said, smiling. "What do you think? I've already pinpointed a rough location for the island."
She shared the map coordinates with him again, and as he opened the location, he felt a genuine shock. The island was marked in the middle of an ocean, between the Central Continent, the South-West Continent, and the West Continent-a vast, uncharted area that no player had ever explored.
"You've got to be kidding me," he muttered.
SexyGrill giggled. "Come on, trust me. I know this is going to be an amazing experience, and I don't want to miss it without you by my side. Who knows, maybe on the journey, we'll develop something special to strengthen our bond." She winked, laughing again.
Broken paused, thinking hard. He wasn't one to run from a challenge-especially not one promising an adventure as grand as this. Of course he was intrigued. But there were too many loose ends he had to handle before setting out. Tasks like crafting, unresolved matters with the Moonlight Fae, Dissidia Kingdom, and other responsibilities pulled at his attention.
He looked seriously at SexyGrill.
She then responded. "No, we won't do it anytime soon. There are things I need to wrap up first. It'll take some time--maybe four to six months of Yunatea Time. Could be faster, could be slower. But I can guarantee it won't be happening right away."
She was quiet for a moment, then nodded. "Well, at least that gives us time to face the Eternal Challenge event together first. What do you think?"
The Eternal Challenge. Yes, that was coming up soon, and he'd already planned on dedicating some time to it.
"I'm not asking for an answer right now. But I'm really hoping you'll agree to help me... because..." She leaned in, smiling wider. "I bet you've become addicted to the level boost from my blessing, haven't you? It's pretty tempting, you know." She giggled. Vensalor Kingdom. The very name stirred something deep within him, reminding him of his mother. The curiosity gnawed at him, and he knew he wouldn't turn down this request. Especially since this was an SS-rated quest―a rare type that allowed sharing, meaning all who participated would receive rewards.
But a journey across the open ocean would take time-weeks, maybe months. And once they reached the island, who knew how long they'd be there? It was clear they wouldn't want to bring NPCs along on such a taxing expedition; that would only slow them down. But if things got critical, he could always summon someone like Ivana from afar using the Blackthorn
Golem.
He nodded.
[Broken: "I'm in. I'm definitely interested-just keep me updated on any new details."]
SexyGrill flashed a victorious smile. "Aye... I bet Bloom will love hearing about this too," she
added, switching topics with a grin.
After a while, the conversation drifted into more casual topics.
"So, aren't you curious about my Unique-grade class?" SexyGrill asked suddenly, grinning.
"You're surprisingly open about everything, huh?"
"That's only for you."
"Aren't you worried I might exploit that?"
"Oh really? Go ahead," she giggled, teasing him.
"Alright, spill it-I'm definitely curious."
SexyGrill leaned in with a smirk. "I can wield six swords at once and apply any stats and
passive skills from all those swords simultaneously. Cool, right?"
"Damn! That's ridiculously overpowered."
"You're the last person who has any right to call something overpowered," she pouted,
crossing her arms.
