"It''s a good thing that Lightning Lady is staying here. I thought that we were quite safe until the next Zombie Wave." Lucian sighed as he knew that he had to thank their visitor.
As they entered, Lucian approached the remaining defenders, who were the weakest in their n.
"What happened here?" he demanded.
Although he had already received a report through Chat, he still wanted to hear it from them.
The officer then reported everything…
"So Lightning Lady''s name was Lysandra." Lucian repeated.
"Indeed. It was Lysandra, leader. A woman from the outside. She fought bravely and used powerful talismans to defeat Mkar."
Lucian nodded as he understood what had happened.
"Where is she now?"
The officer then gestured towards the area for the visitor''s tent.
"She''s resting, leader."
Lucian then made his way to the tent…
After being allowed to enter, he found Lysandra sitting on a bed.
"Lysandra," Lucian said, his voice stiffened a little as he didn''t expect it to be a gorgeous woman.
"Ahem… I am Lucian, leader of the Nightfall Nexus n. I have heard of your bravery and the role you yed in saving our shelter. For that, you have my deepest gratitude."
Lysandra stood and gently nodded.
She could tell that this person in front of her was indeed really strong. If he was here during the attack, she knew that he could handle the leader as well.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"I did what I had to do. The shelter needed defending. In any case, you shouldn''t leave this ce with only one elite guarding this ce. There are already so many Wild Shelters appearing, ording to the chat."
Lucian nodded, his respect for her growing. "You''re right… We obtained several items in our raid today that will help us with that. Anyway, as a token of our gratitude, I would like to offer you a reward."
He handed her a pouch filled with 100 Zombie Cores.
Lysandra hesitated, her instinct was to decline. "I don''t need a reward," she said. "I was just doing what was right."
Of course, she really wanted it but didn''t want to appear like she liked the reward a lot.
Lucian smiled gently. "Please, ept it. You have earned it."
After a moment''s pause, Lysandra nodded and epted the pouch. "Thank you," she said quietly.
After some time had passed, word of Lysandra''s heroism spread quickly through the camp.
The elite members of the Nightfall Nexus n, impressed by her prowess, sought her out. They were curious about the skills she used.
Since it was witnessed by dozens of people, some of them actually exaggerated it power so everyone wanted to meet her.
They wanted to know if that was an item they could also purchase in the store.
After some hesitation, she answered them that it was indeed through an item''s effects. As for the specific item, she still had to ask permission to the one who had given it to her.
"You''re amazing… Is it true that the one with you was your husband?" one of them said, extending a hand.
"We could use someone like you in our n. Do you want to join us? Your husband can join us as well."
Another nodded in agreement. "Join us, Lysandra. With your skills, we could achieve great things together."
Lysandra appreciated their kindness, and replied. "I''ve already joined a n."
This answer immediately changed their mood.
"Can we ask what n is that?" One of them asked.
Lysandra had to confirm with Raze if it was already to reveal her n and after getting an OK, she replied.
"It''s called Eclipse Revenant."
This answer confused everyone. Someone immediately went to visit their leader, Lucian, who was level 21 and had ess to the Leaderboard.
Soon, they discovered that the Eclipse Revenant was only level 2 and wasn''t even in the top 50!
"What a weak n, and she said she didn''t want to join us?" Lucian asked the one who was trying to recruit her.
"Y-yes… Is it really a weak n?" The officer asked.
"Mhmm… It''s weird. I''m guessing that there were only a few of them doing the n Mission." Lucian muttered.
"Maybe they weren''t aware of how good those n Skills are?"
Lucian nodded.
"Or perhaps they just don''t care about n Skills since they''re strong." Lucian said but he shook his head after saying this.
They would be too arrogant if that were the case. In this apocalypse that everyone could die if you get injured or bitten by a zombie, no one should becent.
After surviving two Zombie Waves, they should already be aware of that.
Anyway, he decided not to dwell on this but told the officer to try to recruit her by offering various rewards.
This man then returned to where Lysandra was and tried to make another offer. With Lucian''s confirmation, he was able to offer her a guaranteed Exceptional Grade Weapon, Tier 3 Set of Clothes, and other benefits.
This offer even made those who were listening feel envious.
The offer was simply too good, and they all wanted to have such a privilege!
Anyway, they believed that Lysandra definitely has an Epic Grade or even a Legendary Grade Talent so this was certainly natural.
Unfortunately, she still declined the offer.
"I am honored by your offer," she said, her voice firm but polite. "But I already belong to a n, and I want to explore more ces with my n leader. Staying here isn''t really for me."
After a few more attempts to have her in their group, the officers finally respected her decision, though they couldn''t hide their disappointment.
"If you ever change your mind," one of them said, "you will always have a ce with us."
Lysandra smiled, grateful for their understanding. "Thank you. I will remember that."
After some time, she was finally left alone by those people, and she didn''t even dare toe out as there were just too many people greeting her.
Thankfully, it didn''t take that long before Shane reappeared in the shelter…
He immediately found Lysandra and noticed that she was doing fine.
"I''m back… Let''s cross the bridge…" Shane said as he gave her a meat skewer that he cooked in the Fairy Realm.
