Chapter 683: Chapter 683 - Inside the danger zone
2 days later,
Livia and Emma will be going inside the Dungeon alongside some Royal guards. Even though the Oni king and the Warrior association appointed some Warriors inside the danger zone to watch over the whole danger zone, still, he still did not want to put his daughter at any kind of risk.
This is the reason that he is sending those Royal guards who will be acting as the shadow guards and will only appear when the lives of Livia or Emma are in danger.
The Oni king also considers Emma as his daughter so naturally he is very careful about their safety. Livia and Emma already leave the Royal palace and go toward the warrior association to meet up with her team. As you know Livia has a team who all the time went inside of the dangerous zone with her.
Emma even though going with them not all the time will be present with Livia. She also wants to reach the limit of her grade and to do that she needs to fight those powerful Monsters. To do this naturally won't be able to stay with Livia all the time.
Unfortunately, she did not have any team like Livia. Most of the time she would go inside the danger zone alone or alongside Livia's team. Fortunately, she did not have to worry about the safety of Livia. The Oni king already told her that he will be appointed shadowguard to protect Livia, so Emma can also focus on fighting those powerful Monsters.
Sometime later they already came to the warrior association and they already met their other teammates. Livia as the leader already went in front of the mission board to select a mission. Even though she wanted to focus on hunting Monsters to get more spirit crystals and more loot, she wanted to see if she could find any interesting missions or not.
'I have full confidence in you and your judgment. As you know, currently the whole of Terraria is worried about those Abyss humans and their spies who could be staying inside of our kingdom or in the danger zone.
I know that you have full confidence in your team but still, I wanted you to be careful around them and try to see if you could find any kind of suspicious movement among them or not. Currently, the situation already puts us in a tough situation where we cannot trust anyone.
Also, as you know, those Abyss humans can use forbidden mind control symbols to control the minds of warriors, so this is the reason that I wanted you to be very careful around your teammates. Not only that if you find any kind of suspicious movement immediately contact me or contact the Warrior Association.
Also, the thing you did not know is that previously while reading the mind of the mastermind who was behind the incident in the Viet kingdom, the president talked about a surprising thing.
Most of the time those abyss humans will try to sacrifice the life of warriors from the royal family. Every member of the royal family would have something special compared to any other Warriors and that was the reason that previously you also get attacked by those abyss humans.
Sister Emma won't be able to stay with you all the time as she also wants to focus on fighting those powerful monsters so that she can also reach the limit like your brother, you need to stay extra careful.'
Livia, while selecting the mission, remembers all the words that the Oni king says to her before she leaves the Royal palace. She knows that her father just wanted to make sure that everyone from her team did not have any kind of connection with those abyss humans.
Some Warriors contact those Abyss humans on their own but some of them become the spy of those Abyss humans because of those kinds of mind control techniques.
Naturally, Livia won't tell any of her teammates about this as this could also create some problems among them. Also if any traitors present among them that person would become very alert and that could be risky for everyone.
Livia finally came back to her senses and then began to look at the mission board very carefully to see if he found any kind of interesting mission or not. At first when she did not find anything she decided to tell her teammates about this but before she could tell her teammates, she found an interesting mission.
The mission is to collect the blood of the fire horse, the bone of the steel tiger, and the White Apples. Now this is an interesting mission and she decided to accept the mission. Sometime later the receptionist already registered her team for the mission and with that, every one of them was ready to go to the danger zone.
Emma did not accept any kind of mission this time as she only wanted to fight those peak Epic grade Monsters and wanted to collect as many resources as she could. After fighting with Sam she has a better understanding of her strength and the limit that she needs to achieve to reach the proper limit of that grade.
But at the same time, she was also very careful and observed Livia's teammates from the start. Like Livia, she also gets worn by the Oni king. The Oni king naturally wanted her second daughter to stay saved inside the Dungeon and if she also found any kind of suspicious moment, she immediately contacted him or the warrior association and did not do anything reckless.
Even though the Oni king told her about the shadow guards who would be protecting Livia, the Oni king did not tell her that he would appoint other shadow guards to protect Emma. First of all, if she gets to know about these then she would immediately reject that Idea, and also with this she won't be able to focus on her fight.
From childhood, Emma did not want to take advantage of the royal family which adopted her. She always thinks that she should not use those kinds of advantages as she does not belong to the royal family. This is the reason the Oni king did not tell her anything.

"I hear that hero Sam has already come back and he has already gone into seclusion. Did you know why I suddenly went into seclusion? It would be good if he also came inside the danger zone with us as this could be very helpful for us and we could go deeper inside of the danger zone."
" Yes… it has been so many days since we talked to him. I still remember the first meeting with him. That time we did not think that he would be able to achieve something like this in just one year. Not only that he is also able to achieve so many things. I wanted to become someone like this."
All the teammates of Livia are currently talking about Sam and every one of them is already Livia if she knows why Sam went into seclusion. They previously thought Sam would also come with them inside the danger zone as previously he did and with his help, they were able to go deeper.
" Father told me Sam is focusing on stabilizing his strength as he just recently broke through. Also even if he came with us, I don't think we should go deep inside of the danger zone as that would be very dangerous for us.
If we go deep inside of the danger zone with Sam then it could also increase the burden to him. This is the reason that I didn't even ask sister Emma to bring us deeper inside the danger zone.
If we do that then sister Emma or Sam would need to focus on fighting those Monsters alongside ensuring our safety from those Monsters. That would have an early effect on their fighting and the situation could have become very dangerous if many more Monsters decided to attack at once."
Livia told them that even if Sam came with them she did not think going deeper inside the Danger zone would be a good idea. If she did that then it would just increase the burden on Sam or sister Emma and that is the reason that she did not even ask sister Emma about this.
Emma all this time did not say anything but by her expression, she also agreed with Livia. As you know the danger zone is a very dangerous place where anything could happen anytime. There are many Warriors who want to challenge themselves while fighting more dangerous Monsters. Those things would be very reckless as he too just increases the danger.
After hearing all of these naturally all teammates of Livia also understand they aren't ready to go deeper inside of the danger zone. If they really wanted to do that, it just increase the burden of Emma and Sam, and their life could be in danger.
