Chapter 1522: Chapter 465: Reunion with the [(Forbidden Ruins Stele)] _4 Chapter 1522: Chapter 465: Reunion with the [(Forbidden Ruins Stele)] _4 The group was also hearing Leonard Churchill’s serious expression for the first time, and the excitement on their faces dimmed in an instant.

Leonard Churchill spoke frankly, “I don’t know what will happen if we take this road. I suspect the difficulty of the plot could possibly exceed A-level… hence, the risk is very high. Making it through doesn’t necessarily mean coming back alive…”

Exceed A-level?

So they immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

The academy’s tutors had mentioned that for plot difficulties exceeding A-level, even the survival rate of experts is less than one percent.

No one thought his words were an exaggeration.

“My intention is, I’ll go ahead and check it out…”

These few teammates were good people, and Leonard Churchill didn’t want them to take such perilous risks with him.

After all, he was just an avatar; to die was to die.

But before he could say this, David decisively stood out and said, “Allen, I will go with you.”

He was a slave, his life was not his to command.

A pure warrior always cherished loyalty and righteousness.

Moreover, with the guidance he received from Leonard Churchill over this period, David would absolutely not sit by and watch Leonard Churchill, a frail scholar, venture alone into danger.

Youth is always passionate; as soon as David spoke up, Garfield also stood out, followed by Serli, Gale, and Jessica.

“I’ll go too!”

“We’ll go together!”

“…”

The six teammates already had a considerable tacit understanding; none of them backed down.

Leonard Churchill glanced at them, wanting to say something, but swallowed his words.

He didn’t want his teammates to be offended, but he also respected their choices.

In his current view, human courage was fundamentally linked to fate.

It was a trait even more precious than living.

….

Everyone had long been prepared.

After Leonard Churchill decided to depart, Gale, of the Assassin Type, was the first onto the iron bridge.

Leonard Churchill and David followed.

Garfield and the other two didn’t rush onto the bridge, partly to guard the rear in case of accidents, and partly to wait for the situation ahead to be scoped out before making a move.

The visibility was extremely low in the Abyssal Rift, and Gale, who had gone ahead, was now completely submerged in the dark mist.

After walking a few steps, Leonard Churchill and David could no longer see the figures of Garfield and his companions.

All that could be heard beside their ears was the whooshing of the wind and the clanging of the iron chain suspension bridge as it swung with the wind.

After a hundred meters, the way ahead and behind were both shrouded in thick fog.

This made the people on the bridge walk with even greater trepidation.

Not knowing where the bridge led, not knowing what they would face… the unknown brought an increasingly intense horror.

It seemed like a battle had broken out at Black Crow Fort; though they couldn’t see, the sounds of combat carried far.

The planks beneath their feet had corroded considerably, full of holes; the slightest carelessness could send one plunging into the endless abyss.

David moved with utmost caution.

Leonard Churchill, on the other hand, walked as if on flat land, stepping confidently on parts of the bridge reinforced with iron chains.

The uncertainty that was significant to others was not so to him.

The thickness of these chains was nowhere close to those at the East Wilderness Abyssal Rift; he estimated that the bridge wouldn’t be too long. And judging from the gravitational pull on the bridge’s arc, it was likely only several hundred meters.

Indeed.

Before long, the two saw Gale at the bridge’s end, at the threshold of the Realm.

Here too was a platform of stone, extending into a cave that led into the mountain belly.

But what caught Leonard Churchill’s attention was not this.

His gaze was immediately drawn to the tall, dark, obelisk beside the cave.

“The Forbidden Ruins Stele!”

Seeing that familiar black Stele, Leonard Churchill’s heart surged with the greatest waves since he’d entered the Alternate Dimension.

If the previous plots, plans, and scenarios had barely aroused a bit of his exploratory desire,
the sight of this Stele instantly shifted his thoughts.

Every place where the [Forbidden Ruins Stele] appeared was entangled with colossal historical events.

So the moment Leonard Churchill saw this Stele, he instantly realized that Black Crow Fort might be tied to some ancient secrets of the Ancient Demon God.
