Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward! - Chapter 366: Alexius Arrives, the Treasure Map Is Complete

Aiden stood at the top of the city wall with his hands behind his back.The strong wind blew through his messy hair, while his dark eyes calmly looked toward the far end of the southern sky.

Luke stood beside Aiden like an iron tower. He gripped his heavy cross tightly, and a thin layer of cold sweat had already formed on his palm.

“He’s here!”

No one knew who shouted first.The next moment, the temperature above the entire South Gate began to rise at a terrifying speed.

The blue sky seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand.

In an instant, the clouds across the sky were set on fire, turning into burning red clouds that stretched for hundreds of miles.

“Screech—!!!”

A sharp cry rang through the heavens.The sound was so powerful that it could almost shatter an ordinary person’s eardrums.

A huge griffin with a wingspan of more than thirty meters descended from the sky.Its whole body was wrapped in red-gold flames, and it came down like a meteor tearing through space, carrying a terrifying force that seemed able to destroy the world.

The pure Fire Force of Laws spread wildly through the air.The defensive barrier on the city wall let out a piercing alarm, as if it could no longer bear the pressure.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”

The commander of the guards roared at the top of his lungs.Thousands of elite Reclassers drew their weapons at the same time. Colorful skill lights flashed wildly across the city wall.

At that tense and deadly silent moment, Aiden moved.

He simply took one casual step forward.

Boom!

An invisible but vast soul wave burst out from Aiden and swept in all directions like a tsunami.

The burning heat, which had almost been hot enough to melt space itself, touched the soul barrier and instantly collapsed.It was like a gentle sheep meeting its natural predator.The heat was forcefully erased and scattered into nothing.

The arrogant flame griffin let out a frightened cry.Its body suddenly froze in midair, trembling as if it had seen a Greater God.

On the griffin’s broad back, a mountain-like figure slowly stood up.

He wore crimson battle armor carved with ancient flame totems.His wild red hair burned like fire, and the space around him twisted slightly under his extreme Strength.

This was the successor of The Flame God Ignis.A level 99 Great Venerable.Alexius!

Alexius looked down at the city gate from above.But the moment his eyes met Aiden’s deep, black-hole-like gaze, his pupils suddenly narrowed into sharp points.

“This soul pressure…”

A storm rose in Alexius’s heart.He was only one step away from becoming a god, so he could clearly sense the terrifying Strength hidden inside Aiden’s body.

The peak of Great Venerable?!

The information said this young man had only just reached level 80.Yet his soul foundation was strong enough to crush Alexius completely!

Alexius took a deep breath.He put away all his pride and any thought of testing Aiden.Then he jumped down from the griffin’s back and landed ten meters in front of Aiden like a heavy bomb.

“Aiden, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Alexius’s voice was deep and powerful, shaking the air around him.

He did not waste any time.He reached into his coat and took out a piece of old parchment that gave off an ancient aura.

“I brought what you wanted.”

With a flick of his wrist, the mysterious treasure map fragment, which countless powerful people had been searching for, turned into a streak of light and floated steadily in front of Aiden.

Aiden reached out with his long fingers and gently caught the fragment.He felt the faint echo of the Laws coming from it, and a very slight smile finally appeared on his lips.

Five fragments.At this moment, they were finally all together.

That meant the supreme Miko treasure, which hid one of the greatest secrets of the Abyss, was about to open its doors to him.

“Let’s talk somewhere else.”

Aiden casually placed the fragment into his system space, then turned around, leaving Alexius with a back view that was impossible to read.

Ten minutes later.

Inside the highest-level secret meeting room of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association.

The heavy obsidian doors, designed to block all magic and detection, closed with a loud boom.They completely cut off any outside spying.

There were only three people in the room:Aiden, Alexius, and Luke, who was there as a witness.

Aiden did not hesitate.He lightly waved his hand over the long sandalwood table.

Buzz—!

The five broken parchment fragments gave off a blinding dark-purple light at the same time and slowly rose into the air.

They seemed to come alive.Ancient whispers filled the air, sounding almost joyful.

The cracks along the edges of the five fragments began to fit together perfectly.The broken Law patterns on them moved like living dragons, weaving and reforming in the air.

Boom!

A bright white light flashed, so strong it almost blinded everyone.

At the same time, a thick Abyss aura suddenly exploded inside the meeting room.

A complete ancient scroll appeared and quietly spread itself across the table.Mysterious starlight flowed over its surface.

Aiden’s gaze swept over the scroll like a blade.The terrain drawn on it was extremely complex, like a maze that could make anyone dizzy.

But at the very center of the map, there was a location circled by a blood-red Skeleton mark.It gave off a cold, dead silence that made the heart tremble.

“The lower Abyss… Miko City… an absolute forbidden zone.”

Aiden read the place name in a low voice.It was written in ancient Abyss script.A fierce light flashed in his eyes, filled with the determination to take it.

Across from him, Alexius looked at the complete treasure map.A very complicated emotion passed through his eyes.There was desire, relief, and also a deep trace of fear.

“My useless older brother, Cassian, has dreamed of getting this thing for years.”

Alexius picked up the strong liquor in front of him and drank it in one gulp.His voice sounded a little hoarse.

“But my instincts tell me that the karma tied to this thing is too heavy. It belongs in your hands more than mine.”

Aiden slowly raised his head.His dark eyes were like sharp, cold blades, piercing straight into Alexius’s heart.

“There is no such thing as a free lunch.”

“Alexius, tell me your price.”

Alexius set down his glass.His wild, carefree expression instantly turned serious. Even the Fire Laws around him stopped flickering.

“I don’t want your equipment, and I don’t want your Mythic Rank items.”

Alexius stared straight into Aiden’s eyes and said each word clearly.”I want a promise from you.”

Aiden raised an eyebrow.His fingertips tapped lightly on the table, making a dull, oppressive sound.

“What kind of promise?”

Alexius took a deep breath, as if he had finally made a very difficult decision.

“After you survive the lightning tribulation and officially become a divine powerhouse…”

“Help me do one thing.”

The air in the meeting room froze.Luke’s hand tightened around his cross, and he looked at Alexius with shock and doubt in his eyes.

Asking a future god to do something for him…The value of that condition was almost impossible to measure.

Aiden’s tapping fingers paused slightly.The peak Great Venerable soul pressure around him rose like a waking dragon, creating a terrifying energy storm inside the room.

“You’re gambling with your life?”

Aiden’s voice was as cold as ice, without the slightest emotion.

Alexius endured the suffocating soul pressure and clenched his teeth.

He did not take even half a step back.

“I can’t tell you exactly what it is yet.”

“But I can swear on the great Fire Laws that this matter will never go against your principles, Aiden. And it will never bring any harm to the human side!”

Aiden quietly looked at Alexius.His eyes seemed able to see through a person’s heart and soul.

Only after half a minute did that terrifying pressure finally fade away like the tide.

“I agree.”

Aiden put the complete treasure map into his coat.His tone left no room for doubt.

“But remember this. If you dare lie to me in the future, I will crush your Inner Spirit with my own hands.”

Alexius let out a long breath of relief.He knew that once this monster-like young man made a promise, he would never break it.

After his tense nerves finally relaxed, Alexius poured himself another glass of strong liquor.A bitter look of memory appeared in his eyes.

“To be honest, giving you this final fragment is also my way of saving my older brother, Cassian.”

Aiden did not speak.He simply listened in silence.

“Cassian and I were both war orphans. If Teacher Ignis had not taken us in, we would have ended up as food for the Abyss hounds long ago.”

Alexius’s voice became low, as if he were talking about a painful past he did not want to remember.

“Cassian was more talented than me. He was a one-in-a-million Phoenix Warrior. But he wanted too badly to prove himself. His personality became twisted and obsessive.”

“To gain Strength, he was always trying to take dangerous shortcuts.”

Alexius suddenly clenched his fist so hard that his knuckles cracked.

“Inside the human side, the Evil Demons Guild has been watching him from the shadows for a long time.”

“If this treasure map stayed in his hands, the one that most likely holds clues to a Demi-Sacred Artifact or even a Sacred Artifact, it would basically be a death sentence for him.”

Alexius raised his head and looked at Aiden with burning eyes.

“He can’t outplay the scum from the Evil Demons Guild, and he definitely can’t stop the Abyss Demon Gods from coveting it.”

“Giving it to you is not only because I trust your strength. It is also the only way to cut off his greed.”

Aiden heard the heavy brotherly love hidden in Alexius’s words.

To protect an obsessive older brother, Alexius was willing to hand over a supreme treasure that might help someone become a god.That kind of courage was worthy of a level 99 Great Venerable.

“As long as he doesn’t come after me first.”

Aiden looked at Alexius and stated his bottom line.

“My blade will never point at a comrade of the human side who has not betrayed us.”

Alexius nodded heavily.With those words, the weight hanging over his heart finally disappeared.
