The Almighty Ring

“Oh? Young fellow, if you can really woo the Saint over, I will reward you greatly!” Nephilim King Augustus laughed as he said. However, to him, this was all a joke. After all, it was too ridiculous an idea for the Saint to elope with a Nephilim man.

“Ding! The Nephilim King Augustus has given you an Impossible Hidden Quest: To win the Saint’s heart! Do you wish to accept?”

“Eh…” Although Jiang Fei received the quest notification, he did not feel too good about accepting it.

“Quickly, accept the quest!” Isabella urged.

“Eh… Alright…” Jiang Fei accepted the quest reluctantly.

“Ding! Quest renewed!”

Quest Name: To win the Saint of the Light’s heart! (Impossible)

Quest Description: Use whatever method to make the Saint of the Light fall in love with you and to betray the Light Faction for you.

Quest Reward: 3,000,000,000 Experience points, 200,000 gold coins, 5,000 Nephilim Reputation points, 2,000 Dark Faction Reputation points, and a mysterious equipment!

“Holy sh*t…” Jiang Fei got the shock of his life when he saw the quest’s rewards.

The Nephilim King was way more generous than he had thought. The quest rewards were incredible. However, the quest itself was also nearly impossible to accomplish. After all, it was not possible for the Saint of the Light to fall for any man, let alone someone from the Nephilim race.

However, the only exception was Jiang Fei’s unique Title as Romeo. With the Title, Jiang Fei would only have to complete a few more of the Saint’s quests to increase her Reputation toward him to the Infatuated state, according to the system’s rules.

Even if the Saint would normally not fall for men, she would have to fall for Jiang Fei. Therefore, the seemingly impossible quest to other people was actually rather easy for Jiang Fei.

“Sigh! Let’s do it!” Jiang Fei said as he gritted his teeth. The rewards from the impossible quest was far too tempting. He had no choice but to do the unforgivable to the Saint.

After leaving the Nephilim King’s Palace, Jiang Fei returned to the Demon Flame Fortress in the frontlines.

The three Commanders still looked very busy in the Commander’s Hall and did not have a minute to spare for Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei decided not to bother them and instead went to look for the Saint of the Light directly. Right then, Sylphy was chatting with the Saint.

“Ah! Respected Explorer, you have finally come!” The Saint has been looking for Jiang Fei for several days. However, she was held captive in the Commander’s Hall. If Jiang Fei did not come to her, she would not have been able to find him.

“I have been occupied with other things recently, Your Highness. Is there anything I can do for you?” Jiang Fei smiled as he spoke. When he looked at her features of timeless beauty, Jiang Fei could not help but think to himself, ‘It would not be such a bad idea to woo this woman over.’

“Here’s the thing, Hua Mulan and the Saint’s Guard were all locked up by the Vatican when they evacuated the peasants the last time. They would soon be punished by being burned alive. I hope you can rescue them!” The Saint said sadly.

Originally, the Saint’s Guard would only be scolded for evacuating the peasants under the Saint’s order. However, Sylphy had suddenly betrayed the Vatican openly. After some thorough investigation, the Vatican found out about Jiang Fei.

The Overlord Sylphy was the Moon God’s disciple and a deacon of the Religious Judicatory. She had betrayed the Vatican for Jiang Fei. As such, anyone who had anything to do with Jiang Fei would be accused of betrayal. Therefore, Hua Mulan and the Saint’s Guard were all affected. Moreover, with the Front-line Commander Bernard acting as a witness, Hua Mulan and the Saint Guard were easily convicted of their crimes.

Bernard had always resented Hua Mulan for beating him up. However, at the time, Sylphy had sided with Hua Mulan. He had to swallow the bitter pill because he had no one to back him up. Now that Sylphy had betrayed the Vatican and ran off with the Nephilim man, Bernard naturally pounced at the opportunity to accuse Hua Mulan.

“Ding! The Saint of the Light has given you a quest: save her subordinates! Do you wish to accept?”

“Alright! I will do my best!” Jiang Fei immediately agreed after receiving the notification. After all, he was the cause of all of this. Regardless of whether Jiang Fei was given the quest or not, he would still involve himself to resolve the matter.

“Thank you so much!” The Saint bowed at Jiang Fei.

“There isn’t much time left. I shall depart now!” Jiang Fei nodded. As there was a limited time to the quest, Jiang Fei had to leave immediately to rescue Hua Mulan and the rest. If they were burned to death, there was nothing left for Jiang Fei to say.

“Sylphy, you should accompany the Saint!” Jiang Fei said to Sylphy after they left the room.

“Let me go with you!” Sylphy did not want Jiang Fei to take on the risks alone.

“It’s alright. I am going to enter the deeper parts of the Light Faction. Wouldn’t you cause more trouble if you came with me?” Jiang Fei shook his head.

Sylphy was now the Light Faction’s biggest embarrassment and a wanted criminal. Moreover, she had such a strong Overlord aura that as soon as she entered the Light Faction’s vicinity, many of the Light Faction’s experts would come after her. If that were to happen, she would only expose Jiang Fei’s location.

“Alright then. Please be careful…” Sylphy said reluctantly.

“Don’t worry! I will take good care of him!” Isabella said to Sylphy with a pleased look on her face. She was the only one who could truly accompany Jiang Fei all the time.

After taking off from the Demon Flame Fortress, Jiang Fei opened the quest list as he sat on the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon to look at the Saint’s quest.

Quest Name: Rescuing the subordinates! (Legendary)

Quest Objective: Rescue Hua Mulan and the Saint’s Guard who are about to be punished.

Quest Reward: Rescue Hua Mulan. Reward is 30,000,000 Experience points, 1,000 gold coins.

Additional Reward: Rescue Hua Mulan and more than half of the Saint’s Guard’s members. Reward is 50,000,000 Experience points, 3,000 gold coins.

Impossible Quest: Rescue Hua Mulan and all of the Saint’s Guard’s members. Reward is 80,000,000, 5,000 gold coins.

Punishment if failed: If Hua Mulan dies, 30,000,000 Experience points will be deducted. Moreover, you will lose a significant amount of the Saint’s Reputation points.

Countdown period: twelve hours.

“It’s one of those quests that rewards one based on completion levels!” Jiang Fei nodded as he thought to himself. However, the current quest is much more challenging to complete. He would have to save all five hundred of the Saint’s Guard’s members. Even if one of them died, Jiang Fei would not be able to obtain the reward from the highest level of difficulty.

Soon enough, Jiang Fei passed through the border which separated the Light and Dark Factions as he soared through the air. He finally entered the Light Faction’s territory. As it was in the frontlines, there were air patrols from the Light Faction all around. Therefore, Jiang Fei did not dare to fly too low. So he maintained his position at a higher altitude.

According to the quest’s location pinpoint, Jiang Fei would arrive at the place where the Saint’s Guard’s members were held captive after two more hours of flying.

It was a small mountainous valley with a small castle at the center of the valley. It seemed like a place where people would be held captive. The place did not seem very heavily guarded. After all, the castle was located in the core territory of the Light Faction. There was a very slim chance of it being attacked by outsiders.

Although the place was not heavily guarded, it was still a difficult feat to rescue people from that place. After all, there were enough archers in the archery towers above the castle to kill Jiang Fei within just a few seconds.
