An Extra’s POV

Chapter 162

Adonis stretched out his hand, and his Divine Sword appeared out of nowhere.

As always, it glowed with indescribable majesty.

"Do you understand, Lucielle? It's you and me."

As Adonis said this, Lucielle felt her heart race. She realized just how dangerous the situation was, and how incredibly inadequate she was.

Yet, once he told her he needed her… she had no choice but to step forward and agree.

"Understood! Do you have a plan?"

A small smile formed on Adonis' face, and he gave her a very proud—almost melancholic look.

It felt different from the kind of gaze a student would give their teacher, or the kind that allies would share with each other.

This felt far more intimate.

"Thank you. And yes, I do have a plan…" Adonis took in a deep breath and heaved out a musty sigh.

"The plan is the same as always. To escape. The Item with me should allow us to travel to a higher Floor." As Adonis said this, he revealed a small cube that was hidden in his pocket.

It looked very similar to the 'The Gateway', but far smaller, with more intricate designs around it.

'He still hasn't revealed where he got that Item…' Lucielle's thoughts trailed.

However, as soon as it came, she dismissed the entire thing from her mind.

'There's no need to know that now. Besides, even if he says nothing, that doesn't remove the fact that it's all for our benefit.'

Adonis had already made it abundantly clear that he desired to help the world and save it from the tyranny of the Dragons.

Everything he did—whether it was what they understood or not—was to that effect.

He had Lucielle's full trust.

"We only have one chance to activate it, so we have to be very decisive and create the perfect window."

Adonis' plan was simple.

He and Lucielle would fight the Dragon Commander, getting all of its attention.

Once they had it distracted enough, they'd activate the portal to a higher Level and ensure their friends made it to a higher Level.

"The tricky part is what comes next." Adonis sighed.

Even after their friends escaped, they would have to leave too.

They couldn't do so if the Dragon Commander wasn't occupied in some way.

"We have to find a way to incapacitate him, or do something to that effect." Adonis said.

From what Lucielle could understand about the plan, though, she could see another alternative.

"One of us could stay behind." She said, her crimson eyes narrowing as she made the bold statement.

Based on Adonis' unsurprised reaction, it was clear that the thought had also occurred to him.

"I'll stay behind, Adonis. You should escape with the—"
