Chapter 1068: Chapter 1069 – Details of the mission
“As Saint Markus and Saint John have told all of you, I will be there to handle the situation secretly. But don’t expect me to participate actively in this matter.
I will only interfere if the situation becomes truly dangerous and none of you are able to manage it.
This is a perfect moment to gain experience. In this way, you will not feel that your contribution to this matter is insufficient.
Also, since we want to uncover what kind of secrets this danger zone holds, we have to remain very careful.
Even though, for now, aside from those two SS-grade monsters, I have not found any other powerful monsters inside the danger zone, everyone still needs to act cautiously.
Don’t become reckless or overconfident. Always think before acting. Also, during this time, if you discover anything new, contact us immediately.
Those two SS-grade monsters are hiding deep inside, and none of us have discovered their exact location yet. Fortunately, I noticed them before they went into hiding.
There is a possibility that those monsters are waiting for more SS-grade monsters to appear there, but there are many other possibilities as well.
Meanwhile, they have gathered a large number of other monsters to act as their subordinates.
I think many of you have already noticed that over the past few days, the number of those monsters has begun to decrease rapidly around the border areas. This is because they have become subordinates of those two monsters.
So don’t think it will be easy to reach those two SS-grade monsters.
Don’t worry about your safety; I will be present alongside the Warrior Association, which will be working 24 hours every day to ensure they can teleport you immediately if you face a life-threatening situation.
I hope this is enough to convince all of you to participate in this mission. As we told you before, we will not force anyone. If you don’t want to participate, you are welcome to leave this place.
We will have no problem with that. But if you truly want to participate in these missions, then I will provide you with more information about those monsters.”
After saying this, Sam became silent. It was time to see how many people would leave after hearing that.
It is true this mission is extremely dangerous, and many people could lose their lives. But with Sam present, the risk is very low.
Moreover, the Warrior Association is ready to teleport any warrior who faces a life-threatening situation.
As expected, after hearing this, many people began to show different reactions. Some became afraid, while others appeared excited and, at the same time, somewhat jealous.
Sam began to observe their reactions. The question was whether they would accept this or not.
It is true that if any of them decided to leave, the Warrior Association would not abandon them. They would retain their authority as before; they would just not contribute to this mission.
After pondering this, many of those who previously wanted to leave seemed indecisive.
After a while, among the many warriors, 35 left the auditorium hall. They would not participate in this mission, although some appeared scared.
As expected, all the Saints were deeply disappointed in those people. How cowardly had they become?
[Just forget about them. We have to focus on the others. At least we still have many warriors willing to risk themselves for humanity.
But as we discussed before, we cannot take all of them inside the danger zone at once. I honestly cannot place my trust in those who became such cowards.
I can only trust those who remain here. Only they can protect humanity.]
[You’re right. We cannot take all of them into the danger zone at once. We have to leave some behind in the border cities to ensure that nothing abnormal happens during that time.
Even if something occurs inside the dungeons, those left behind will be able to handle it.]
Saint Veena, Saint Markus, and the others talked to each other using a mind link. They agreed not to take every warrior inside the danger zone.
“Though it is sad that many of our people became cowards unwilling to risk their lives, I still hope they will protect humanity while we are inside the danger zone.
Back to the main matter, I will provide you with information about all the new monsters that have appeared inside the danger zone. More importantly, the old monsters have also undergone mutations.
On the surface, you might not notice the mutations, but the deeper you go inside the danger zone, the worse the situation becomes.
Many of you have probably already noticed this. I do not yet know the source of the mutations, but I suspect it is related to those SS-grade monsters.
Each of you will receive this catalogue and should share it with your guildmates. It will help you deal with the new monsters.
Now, there is another issue I want to discuss. I am truly grateful that all of you are willing to put your lives at risk to solve humanity’s crisis.
However, we cannot take all of you inside the danger zone. There is a possibility that while we are inside, someone unexpected will appear in our safe zone.
Therefore, we need people to handle such situations. We will divide all of you into two groups: one going into the danger zone and the other staying on the surface.
Those who stay on the surface have two important duties. First, if anything abnormal happens in the safe zone, they must handle it.
Second, they will serve as reinforcements. So if something happens inside the danger zone, you must come immediately to assist us.
Again, I remind you to stay extremely cautious once inside the danger zone. There may be more new monsters or mutations.
We have to prepare for every possibility.”
Sam finished his speech, and every warrior agreed with him. More importantly, with his presence, those going into the danger zone had no reason to fear.
They still remembered how they had dealt with powerful warriors from other planets without serious casualties, thanks to Sam.
They still carried the artifacts with them, which gave them further confidence.
“Why did those people suddenly leave?”
Sam did not know, but many warriors in front of him began thinking about those who just left.
What the warriors did not know was that Saint Mira had taken action. She used her power to amplify the minds of those people, revealing who was ready to risk their lives and who was not willing to enter the danger zone.
This was fortunate because if those people who were not ready entered and acted recklessly, it could endanger everyone else.
“Now, please return to your organizations and talk to your people. As mentioned earlier about the power limit, you should only speak to those who meet the criteria.”
With that, the meeting ended, and people began to leave one by one. After a while, only Sam and the saints remained in the meeting room.
“Sigh, I did not expect any of them to become such cowards. Still, this is good for us. At least we identified them.
Now we must prepare for those monsters. Meanwhile, try sending drones inside the danger zone to monitor everything.”
“Don’t worry about how we will handle this. I already spoke with Elder Harman. He has taken responsibility.
I just want to know how many monsters have mutated. Sigh, as expected, the situation on our planet is getting more dangerous day by day.”
“Don’t worry. After this mission, our people will have the chance to become stronger than those monsters.
I don’t think that even if we kill those SS-grade monsters, more will easily appear inside the danger zone.
And if they do, we will immediately be alerted.”
Natalia, Markus Veena, and all the saints discussed their plan. Once everything was settled, Sam and Natalia also left the place.

“Don’t worry mom, everything will be okay. I just wanted to make sure after we leave this place our people did not face any kind of problem.
After going back to Terraria I wanted to focus on finding out the truth about those dungeons.
I also wanted to see if there is any kind of connection between the danger zone and the Terraria. It is really possible that there is some kind of link.
Unfortunately until we did not go deep inside the danger zone and search everyone, we would not be able to tell anything.
Due to this this mission is necessary. But don’t worry everything will be okay.”
Sam assured his mother that everything will be okay. Hina even thought there were more powerful monsters than those SS-grade monsters. This is the reason she is quite worried.
After hearing his words, even Natalia supported him. Naturally all of them are ready to go inside Terraria alongside Sam. But it is also true that during this time unexpected situations can easily occur inside Eden Blue.
Sam just wanted to make sure nothing like that happened during that time.
