Cursed Immortality

"Skyfall, tell them their roles!"

The moment the Queen issued her order, a white-haired elf with sword-like brows and an otherworldly handsface among the legends quickly straightened his back and solemnly spoke while sternly looking at the faction leaders. His nwas Skyfall Sword, a Quasi Legend of unknown elven race and background.

"The reason we summoned you all here is because of the missing Legendary Key!" Skyfall stated, "We know you've all been looking for the missing legendary key for over fifty years, and we also know the details about our Seventh Legend, Necro, who took it. But after observing you for all these years, you didn't find anything truly pathetic for leaders who have millions of beings under them."

The expressions of the faction leaders fell as they wanted to retort and questioned Skyfall if he got any clues about the key himself since he was calling them pathetic but swallowed their resentment and just listened.

Skyfall's lips curled up in a content smile, which seemed a little sadistic, as he liked those arrogant idiots' expressions. He continued, "That's why we decided to intervene by revealing our existence to lend you all a hand. Make no mistake, for the legendary key, is equally important to all of us here, and we don't want to miss this chance to enter the path of legend just because of the incompetence of our juniors.

"Although we admit this Free Sword is more cumbersto deal with despite his meager power and the unique plains—or I should say the entire Lesser Plains (Lesser Galaxy)—are extremely vast, so he could be hiding anywhere while waiting for the path of legend to resurface…"

At this moment, Chairman Mathias bluntly cut Skyfall and furiously said, "You're blaming all of us while you yourself are admitting that even you couldn't find the legendary key. Isn't it unfair? Besides, how could you be so sure that the Path of Legend is still locked and yet to surface?"

Those leaders looked at Mathias and couldn't help but praise him for having the balls to question Skyfall, while the other two leaders of the life faction smiled wryly, knowing Mathias's blunt and short-tempered personality.

Skyfall's eyes narrowed as he looked at Mathias, who was gawking at him with a fierce expression. He clearly didn't like it and was about to release his aura to 'educate' this junior and teach him smanners when a forty-meter giant with violet skin and white runic tattoos on the left side of his face among the legends suddenly guffawed.

"Hahahaha, truly worthy of being a descendant of the giant race!" His gruff voice reverberated in the entire hall, and the other legends shook their heads as if thinking, 'Here we go again.' Only the Queen remained impassive.

Mathias's eyes shimmered as if he felt kindred to this giant. He quickly bowed, "Thank you, senior, but I meant no disrespect to senior Skyfall. I'm just curious and all." Despite backing down, his voice wasn't respectful.

Skyfall completely ignored Mathias now. He looked towards the giant and barked in annoyance, "Vermont, you empty brain maniac, you dare to disrupt me!?"

"Tsk, tsk, it seemed you're itching for a beating again, Short Stick." Vermont threateningly looked at Skyfall, showing his sharp teeth like a bloodthirsty beast.

Thick veins bulged on Skyfall's temple when he heard Vermont calling him 'Short Stick'. He was about to take out his sword to cut this bastard in half when the Queen's cold voice rang again.

"Enough!"

Both Skyfall and Vermont trembled, and after glaring at each other menacingly, they straightened their backs again.

"Since they're going to follow our instructions, we can clear sof their doubts." The Queen spoke before she turned her eyes on Mathias, and he felt like death was gawking at him as sweat began to form on his back, and he couldn't even move anymore; she spoke, "But this will be the last tyou disrupted a legend if it happened again, you can ask these questions in the afterlife. If any of you have doubts, wait before you're given the permission to speak."

She then averted her eyes dismissively, as if nothing had happened, and looked towards a sexy woman with fair skin and an oval face like a fairy. She was wearing revealing clothes, emitting a natural seductive charm that could capture any man or woman's heart.

She ordered her, "Samara, you take over."

Samara showcased a seductive smile as she nodded and looked towards Mathias, making the crass fellow gulp as he felt desire rising in his nether region.

Her smile grew as she said, "Little giant, forget about what Skyfall just said. He just likes to tease others and doesn't like it when others tease him. As for your question about how we knew the path of legend was still not open, there are actually many ways, but very few people know about them.

"Since you are all our little cute allies, there's no need to hide it from you, and this will also show our sincerity. The way we used it is quite simple. You see, the Unique Plains Trial is still ongoing, right?

"Normally, there is only one way to close the Trial Plains, that is, to complete all the conditions. But what you didn't know is that when a Legendary Key emerges in a plain trial, the trial plain can be closed in another way, whether the conditions are fulfilled or not."

Everyone's eyes widened as if they weren't fools, and they almost thought the same.

Samara smiled and widened, "You guessed right yet wrong at the stime. You might've thought that when the Path of Legend opens, the Trial Plains will automatically close.

"Although it's correct yet wrong at the stime, you are correct that the Trial Plains will close when the Path of Legend opens if the conditions are not cleared, that is.

"Wrong because this didn't mean that the trial plains would end. Instead, when the Path of Legend opened, the trial plain that contained a Legendary Key would be closed; in its place, a new Trial Plain would start, that is, if the trial plain in which the Legendary Key is unearthed is still not complete!"

Samara stated matter-of-factly, "Since the kingdom-type trial plains are still ongoing, this means the Path of Legend is still not open. But the tis growing near, so we need to hurry and make our preparations, and that's where you all cin to play!"
