Chapter 46 Secret

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Secret

Justin was about to answer when he suddenly remembered his first conversation with Lars.

Back then, Lars had told him that he didn’t want anyone to know his identity. That was why he always asked Justin to censor his face.

"No. That’s not him. I... I just met him today in this dungeon," Justin lied.

There had to be a reason Lars wanted to keep his identity hidden, so Justin decided to respect his wishes.

"Are you sure? Because I think he has the same fighting style," Oscar said.

Both he and Denis were loyal followers of Justin’s channel, and whenever they had free time, they would often watch his videos together.

"Maybe it’s just a coincidence... or maybe they simply have the same class," Justin answered. He then quickly walked toward the rear of the group to avoid being questioned any further.

On the other side, a fierce battle had broken out between Lars, Vega, Ryuken, and the King and Queen. The three of them attacked relentlessly, continuously unleashing their skills.

The Queen kept casting one spell after another toward them. Among the three, Lars was the only one who consistently intercepted the spells with his spear.

Meanwhile, the King continued summoning monsters without pause. In the midst of this intense close-quarters battle, Lars was the most active fighter.

Fortunately, his countless hours of grinding through dungeons and fighting bosses alone had polished both his movements and his combat instincts.

Vega and Ryuken felt surprisingly comfortable fighting alongside Lars. It felt as though the three of them had been battling together for years.

However, the balance of the battle slowly began to shift against them. The diamond embedded at the tip of the King’s staff suddenly began to glow. About the size of a fist, it emitted a brilliant crimson light. A large red magic circle instantly appeared beneath their feet.

"Watch out! That’s the spell that locks our skills!" Max shouted.

But the activation was far too fast. There was no time to react. Lars and Vega were caught within the light, and their skills were instantly sealed. Ryuken, who was classless, however, was completely unaffected.

"Damn it! I was careless!" Vega gritted his teeth in frustration. For an assassin to fall into an enemy’s trap, it was a humiliation.

"Vega! Lars! Fall back! I will handle this battle!" Ryuken shouted as he stepped in front of the two of them.

However, the Queen had no intention of letting them escape. She raised her staff and summoned a massive fireball above her.

"No!"

Sarah and the others cried out as the giant fireball engulfed the three of them. With Lars and Vega unable to use their skills, and Ryuken having no class at all, there seemed to be no way they could survive.

On the other side, Lucien could only clench his teeth. The attack had happened so suddenly that even he had been too slow to react.

Zane felt her heart skip a beat as she saw her friends and colleagues engulfed by the flames. Anger began to surge within her as she took a step forward. But Sarah immediately grabbed her arm.

"No, Miss Zane! In your current state, there’s nothing we can do!" Sarah said.

However, just as everyone believed the three of them had been burned alive, they were all stunned. As the flames gradually faded, the three of them were completely unharmed.

Max, who had also been shocked, slowly broke into a smile.

"Now you’ve done it, Lars. After this, I won’t be able to cover for you anymore," he chuckled.

The reason was obvious. At that very moment, Lars was maintaining Arcane Barrier, a High Mage skill.

Fortunately, he had switched classes just in time. Even better, only one of his classes had been sealed, while the rest remained usable. But then, a look of regret slowly appeared on his face.

’Now how am I supposed to answer all of their questions after this? Well, whatever! I will deal with this dungeon first and think of a lie later. Maybe Max can help me.’ he thought.

Ryuken, who was standing behind Lars, stared at him in disbelief.

"You... what class do you actually have? How can you cast a magic barrier? I thought you were a spearman!" he asked.

"It... is complicated to explain right now," Lars replied.

The Queen’s expression suddenly turned ferocious after seeing her attack blocked. She immediately prepared to cast another spell.

But this time, Lars had no intention of waiting for her to make the first move. He instantly conjured Flame in one hand and Ice in the other before hurling both spells at the Queen.

Then, the Double Casting effect activated. The two spells were instantly recast. This time, Lars redirected them toward the King.

"That staff must be the source of the sealing trap! I need to destroy that thing!"

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

Explosions of fire and ice erupted throughout the throne room.

From within the dust, the King emerged. Lars immediately ran toward him and grabbed the staff in the King’s hand. The King struggled fiercely, refusing to let go. Lars then pressed his palm against the King’s chest and cast Thunder.

Crack!!

The King convulsed from the electric shock before being blasted several meters backward. Lars immediately looked at the staff in his hand and smashed the diamond embedded at its tip.

Suddenly, the familiar red magical array appeared beneath everyone’s feet. A moment later, the magic circle shattered into countless fragments.

All the hunters immediately felt their power returning. The Queen slowly stood up after taking the previous hit, only to find every hunter glaring at her with fury.

The next moment, a one-sided assault began. The hunters unleashed skills toward the King and Queen. Although the King had lost his staff, he was still able to summon monsters.

Lars immediately coordinated with Zane, and together they bombarded the King with powerful offensive spells.

’This woman’s wind magic is incredibly powerful! What class does she have?’ Lars wondered.

’This man... he’s very interesting. Could he actually be Anonymous214?’ Zane thought at the same time.

As the King and Queen reached their final moments, both of them suddenly raised their hands, preparing to unleash their ultimate skills.

"Not so fast! Tetra Blast!"

Lars raised both hands toward the sky. Four elemental spheres floated above his head. With a powerful swing, he hurled them forward.

BOOM!!

A massive explosion erupted, blasting apart one side of the throne room’s wall. The impact was so overwhelming that every hunter struggled just to keep their footing.

"So much power?! What the hell was that skill?" Oscar shouted as he held tightly onto a nearby pillar.

On the other side, Iris stood safely behind the wall of sand created by Lucien. Her eyes remained fixed on Lars as her curiosity growing even stronger.

After the shockwave finally subsided, cheers erupted throughout the throne room. The hunters celebrated as they looked upon the defeated bodies of the King and Queen.

However, while everyone else was celebrating, Lars frowned. It was because a notification had suddenly appeared before his eyes.
