Chapter 48 Leona's Choice
Matthew's face suddenly changed, and he, along with the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress and the Weasel, entered a continuous bleeding state.
On the cliff above, a luxuriously dressed woman stepped forward.
With each step she took, it seemed as if she was walking on air, but as her foot landed, ice flowers formed beneath her feet, holding her steadily.
One step, two steps, three steps... With each step, ice flowers formed beneath her feet.
Although still some distance away, Alan had already identified her.
Leona!
In the current newbie village, only this princess from Stellaria could achieve such a feat.
"Honorable Leona, you've arrived?"
Matthew's previously stern expression changed to a kind smile towards Leona.
Leona glanced coldly at Matthew. "I know exactly what you're trying to do."
Matthew was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Leona, since you know, you should also know about my admiration for you."
"No need for such hypocrisy," Leona sneered.
"You think everything is under your control, but have you considered that I could kill you?"
Matthew's eyes narrowed, and he spread his hands, saying, "Great Leona, you certainly can kill me, but have you thought about how you would leave here afterward?"
Matthew continued, "Your ambition won't let you be content with being trapped in the newbie village."
Leona sneered, "That's not something you need to worry about."
"It's my own affairs, and I have a clear understanding."
As her words fell, cold air spread out from Leona.
Matthew's face changed drastically.
"Raging Dominance, Super Armor, Winged Dance!"
In an instant, Matthew released three skills simultaneously, and a pair of broken wings appeared behind him.
The wings flapped.
Matthew flew towards the top of the cliff.
Leona raised her hand, and a massive ice magic circle appeared above Matthew's head.
Immediately after, countless ice spikes fell from the ice circle.
[-15,928.]
[-15,929.]
A series of damage numbers appeared, and just one magic circle took away over a million of Matthew's health points.
How terrifying!
Alan had thought that Leona might be quite powerful.
But the extent of her power still exceeded Alan's expectations.
No wonder Matthew started to flee without hesitation once he knew she was going to make a move.
At this moment, Matthew changed direction in the sky and continued to flee.
The Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress and the Weasel attacked simultaneously, trying to delay Leona.
In just a breath, these two powerful bosses were frozen.
Leona raised her hand.
An ice shield appeared behind Matthew, forcefully pressing him down.
After breaking free from the ice shield, Matthew stopped running and coldly looked at Leona.
"Go ahead, kill me. If you can kill me, I'll accept it."
Leona did not make another move, and Alan instantly understood the issue.
Matthew was no longer an NPC; he was a wild boss.
Wild bosses had a characteristic: they respawned after being killed; in other words, they revived.
Alan had killed the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress and the Weasel before, but they still appeared here.
It was because of the respawn!
"What's wrong? Not going to kill me? If not, then maybe you should listen to what I have to say." Matthew gradually calmed down.
He continued, "I want to marry you and become the future king of Stellaria."
Leona's aura instantly became volatile, and the surrounding temperature dropped significantly.
"Don't get angry so quickly. We're just helping each other," Matthew added.
"You've been away from Stellaria for so long. If you return abruptly, no one will help you.
"But if you marry me, I can help you.
"I'm a wild monster and an NPC. The key is that I've received a blessing from the gods, which allows me to level up and grow like an adventurer."
Hearing the words "level up and grow," Leona, who had been calm, showed some emotion.
Whether NPCs or wild monsters, they all had a limitation: they couldn't break through their current shackles to become stronger.
Alan saw Leona's reaction and thought to himself that this was unfavorable to him.
If Leona agreed to his request, Alan wouldn't be able to obtain the second blessing from the gods.
Alan had put in so much effort precisely for the gods' blessing.
Matthew continued, "Imagine having a helper who can grow and revive infinitely. Just think about how much that could help in your fight for the Stellaria throne. You must see the value in this.
"Don't worry, we can have a fake marriage. It won't affect you. As long as we can become the rulers of Stellaria in the end, that's all that matters."
Even Alan had to admit that from a purely beneficial standpoint, Matthew's conditions were very tempting.
'It seems there's no chance,' Alan sighed inwardly.
However, Leona's next words gave Alan hope once again.
"I think I have many potential partners to choose from, like Ice King!"
Matthew's pupils contracted, and he said in a deep voice. "He is, after all, an adventurer. Whether he will wholeheartedly help you in the future is uncertain."
"No," Leona shook her head. "I'm not going to marry him; I'm going to give him a quest."
"Ice King, would you be willing to support me in becoming the ruler of Stellaria? If you can make me the ruler, I will establish three thousand temples for you and make you the War God of Stellaria!"
Alan's face showed an expression of disbelief.
In the late stages of Ragnarok, ordinary attack power and spell strength were no longer sufficient.
The top-tier players were all pursuing godhood.
And the first step to becoming a god is to have enough followers.
Leona's words were very clear.
She intended to establish temples to worship Alan, allowing him to gain the faith power of Stellaria.
[Leona has given you a quest.]
[Quest requirement: Help her become the next ruler of Stellaria.]
[Quest penalty: Unknown.]
[Quest reward: She will make you the War God and build three thousand temples for you.]
"Accept!" Alan had no reason to refuse.
In his previous life, countless strong individuals had tried to become gods, only to fail due to the lack of faith power.
Gaining faith power was extremely difficult.
"Leona, even if that's the case, how do you plan to leave the newbie village?"
Upon hearing this, Leona gazed at the formation.
"It's simple. Release Lysandra, and he will naturally break the spatial barrier. We can take the opportunity to leave."
Matthew shouted in frustration, "Leona, you're insane! Do you know how much impact releasing Lysandra will have?"
