Chapter 114: [114] The Price For A Life (Page 1/2)

The Key of the Abyss was one of the items Ark had gotten as a result of clearing the beginner’s tutorial.

His plan was to go back to that horrid place and further climb the tower, unraveling the mysteries that lay within it.

But not even in his wildest dreams did he think that it would be saving him today...

”So it has a cool name. What does that do for me?” Tristan asked in an unimpressed tone.

Ark stumbled forward.

”Not just a cool name. With this key, it is possible to return to the beginner tutorial... the hell-level tutorial that we went through.”

His grip on Satella’s neck loosened a bit and she took in a deep breath. But he didn’t let her go.

Tristan’s eyes narrowed. ”Are you sure about what you are saying?”

In Eden, information was power. Most people that had been to hell-level towers and dungeons only had their memories to recount their experiences, and usually, it wasn’t very accurate.

No one expected a tower to be hell-level prior to entering them. And there were not that many hell-level towers to begin with...

But with a key that allowed a player to traverse into hell and back, at his own convenience, Ark could only imagine the wealth of knowledge he would be able to bring back.

And with the ever-growing battle for information among the top guilds, this could likely put the Association ahead in the race to uncover the mysteries of hell-level towers.

It was an offer Tristan could not afford to pass up on.

”So you want to exchange that key for their lives?” He was quiet for a few seconds as he contemplated. ”I see, that is not a bad deal—”

”Actually, I cannot give you the key.”

”...”

”What?” Tristan gave him a blank stare. Even Satella seemed confused.

Why would he propose a deal with a key that he could not give out?

Ark scratched his head and sighed. ”Hey, I don’t make the rules. The key only allows me to return to the tutorial, it won’t work for anyone else...”

It had been explicitly written in the description of the Key that only he could use it.

”But, I can assure you that whatever information I get from the tower will be exclusively given to you.”

Tristan was silent for a few seconds as he considered Ark’s deal.

’Come on... you know you need this information!’ Ark thought.

Most of the top guilds would be dying to have access to the information he was offering him.

Ark was tempted to sell his deal further, but he did not want to sound desperate, so he remained quiet.

Tristan was either edging him on, or he just really wanted to kill Thalia that much, because it took him a good three minutes before he let go of Satella’s neck.

The woman fell unceremoniously on the hard floor, and rubbed her sore neck as she glared at him.

”Very well.” Tristan folded his hands behind his back. ”As long as you keep your end of the deal, the association will no longer hunt Thalia—”

”Actually, that is not all I want.” Ark interrupted him in the most polite way he could.

The room fell silent.

Tristan glanced at Satella in disbelief, before staring back at him. ”What do you mean?”

”Information about a hell-level tower is rare, actually, no matter how strong you are, it is nearly impossible to get. So I want you to add something to... sweeten the deal.”

Ark spoke with the confidence and greed of the devil himself.

Tristan had just pardoned the lives of his friend and his saviour, and yet he wanted more?

What sort of human being would even think that way?

Tristan’s face twitched. ”You’re really pushing that luck of yours. Do you really want to die that badly?”

Ark did not back down, instead he waved the key in front of Tristan’s face, the way a person would dangle a bone in front of a dog.

And as much as Tristan hated to admit it, it worked.

If the grand commander of the Player’s Association was to hear that he failed to secure such a deal, he would be furious.

Worst of all, if the information were to fall in the hands of one of the major guilds, like Fable or Order.

Tristan felt bile rise up his throat.

”What else do you want?” He asked tiredly.

”Fifty duels.” Ark replied in a firm tone. ”I want to be able to fight you fifty more times.”

Ark hated Tristan. He likely hated him more than he even hated Cain, and that was saying a lot.

But Tristan was a Mythril-ranked player who had likely been in Eden for more than a century.

Just one battle with him was more than enough for him to gain two extremely powerful spells, and get direction.

There was no way Ark was going to miss an opportunity to capitalise on it.
