I Transmigrated Into a Game World as a Former Top Player

"Seer?" Surprise flashed through Leymann’s eyes.

He subconsciously looked at Xander in the magic screen, a bit relieved. "So it was that."

"I was wondering why you would dispatch a countryside noble for the competition. Hmph! Young people truly are more cunning."

Hathaway craftily smiled. "In any case, you wouldn’t bother with us in this small competition."

Leymann silently nodded. "Since that’s the case, I don’t have a problem with it. Baron Xander’s identity as a Seer—should we report it to the Alliance?"

"No," Hathaway categorically rejected.

"Reporting to the Alliance is a mistake. I think you know that better than me."

"Sir Anthony’s death already raised many questions. I also feel a shadow approaching me these days!"

"If not for the Half-Artifact you lent me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to hide my presence."

Hathaway displayed a frightened expression after saying this. "He is looking for me. Because of my Seer identity. They already know."

Leymann’s aged face was very solemn as he replied, "Indeed, there is a mole inside the Alliance... I’ll think of a way to keep this matter under control."

"You have to be careful about your safety."

Hathaway nodded.

Even though they were both Tower Masters of the Triad Towers, Hathaway had actually grown up under Leymann. The two had a teacher and friend relationship.

Even if Leymann wasn’t as popular as Anthony in the East Coast, he was still a fairly decent Wizard.

Unfortunately, there weren’t many people like Leymann and Anthony in the South Wizards Alliance.

Some had already been bewitched by the gods and given up on the Arcane Reservoir, choosing corrupted faith instead.

The inside of the Alliance was rotten. The Triad Towers could only preserve themselves. This was the only way for the three Tower Masters.

If the following Calamity wasn’t handled properly, then this Battle of the Holy Grail might be the last one.

The Triad Towers would also become history, gradually forgotten in the sands of time!

In the cave, the fierce fireball was shot, its flames producing many heatwaves!

1st-circle spell, [Lava Fireball] .

This was a variant of the Fireball. It required some volcanic rock powder as a casting material.

Dorian had already smeared a small amount of volcanic powder before taking out his magic staff.

Under his incantation, a Fireball shot out from the end of the snake-like magic staff, quickly impacting the body of that special Snow Demon in an explosion as loud as thunder!

It shrieked in agony, immediately attracting countless Snow Demon Protectors.

"Clang!"

Xander waved his daggers without any hesitation!

Except for the few special Snow Demons, the rest didn’t enter his eyes.

And Dorian’s spells were specially prepared to break through the Snow Demon Lair.

Dorian’s 150 MP were totally exchanged for 1st-circle spells—six copies of [Lava Fireball]!

This would seem like a completely brainless setup to other people. But Dorian still listened to Xander’s plans.

Because he trusted his older brother.

The outcome was just as expected. The special spell Lava Fireball turned out useful.

Xander’s shadow was flashing between these Snow Demon Protectors, turning them into pieces in the blink of an eye.

’My experience is definitely useful! I hope that hidden area still has the treasure chest!’

Xander couldn’t help but smile when he looked at the ground covered in snow piles.

That special Snow Demon was a Snow Demon Leader. There were 4 to 6 of them in every Snow Demon nest.

This Snow Demon was a 2nd-rank creature, and it also had the [Crystallization] ability!

Physical attacks and ordinary spells would be ineffective. Their attacks also had an extreme penetrating power, making it very difficult to guard against.

This was a very troublesome opponent that even 2nd-rank Wizards were unable to defeat.

But Xander knew of a spell specifically used to deal with Snow Demon Leaders.

That was Lava Fireball!

This Fireball was a variation, and once it hit the Snow Demon Leader, it would melt it in a second!

Ordinary Fireballs wouldn’t reach this kind of temperature!

And ordinary people wouldn’t exchange their precious MP for a spell in such a neglected branch of magic.

Thus, this hidden Snow Demon Lair was actually prepared by Leymann for 2nd-rank Wizards. But it ended up meeting a transmigrator like Xander!

Not only was Xander a transmigrator, he was also an expert gamer.

He had explored this path who knows how many times.

A Fire Wizard and someone using a blade was enough to clear the Snow Demon Lair.

But the price was that Dorian would lose all fighting power after using up all six Lava Fireballs. When the time came, Xander would have to protect him!

Dorian getting into a difficult situation earlier was because Xander had prepared to take a different path!

This path was a complete shortcut after all. As long as he cleared the Snow Demon Lair, he would be able to find that hidden Gate.

The hidden Gate led directly to the summit!

And inside the Snow Demon Lair there was a treasure chest with six spare keys inside!

Now Xander’s only hope was that this hadn’t changed.

So far it was still normal.

The brothers kept going forward, continuously killing all kinds of Snow Demons along the way.

The two brothers had split the work. Xander was in charge of Snow Demon Protectors and Dorian was in charge of getting rid of Snow Demon Leaders with Lava Fireball.

In a brief 20 minutes, the two arrived at the deepest area of the Snow Demon Lair!

That was a wide open space located in the center of the Snow Mountain.

On the edge of the open area, a statue of four Ouroboros coiling around each other was protruding out of the wall.

In alchemy, the Ouroboros meant [Transformation], while in the Wizards’ eyes, this symbol meant [Transmission].

This was a hidden Teleportation Gate.

Ordinary people wouldn’t know how to activate it, but Xander had a rough idea.

Activating Teleportation Gates was an important thief ability!

Various kinds of mystical magic locks and combination locks were common in the continent’s secret doors, so Xander had some skill in this field.

"Brother, there is a chest there!"

On the way, Dorian had already used five Lava Fireballs, leaving him with only one.

He was currently pointing at a place on the side of the open space.

The two walked over.

The size of the chest was more or less the same as Xander remembered. It was hidden at the edge of the cavern wall. Dorian seemed to have good sight, finding it this quickly.

This chest had no locks or other mechanisms and could be opened directly.

"Bang!"

There were indeed six keys lying peacefully in the chest!

"Let’s go!" Xander let Dorian put away the keys and then walked towards the hidden door.

Next to the Ouroboros statue was a small platform. On the platform were four sticks of different lengths.

But every stick could only be used once every hour.

This was an active mechanism which could control the opening and closing of the hidden door.

Xander knew their enemies were definitely tracking them, and even if he didn’t mind fighting them, with so many eyes watching him, he still wanted to hide his true strength.

After the Battle of the Holy Grail concluded, he would secretly take care of the killer from the Unicorn Clan. After that, the ancient red dragon’s rampage would catch the Unicorn Clan unprepared, leaving them unable to recover.

Thus, Xander had to find the quickest way to crack that door’s mechanism!

’Four sticks... Ouroboros statue... I don’t seem to have seen that mechanism before.’

Xander frowned.

What caused the most headaches in the Battle of the Holy Grail was actually this door’s mechanism.

The mechanism was ever-changing—a new one almost every time. It wouldn’t be especially difficult, but it would waste a bit of time.

But what Xander needed the most right now was time!

’Ouroboros... Wait, four colors!’

Xander suddenly had an idea! This Ouroboros was composed of four colors, four kinds of snakes entwined in roughly concentric circles.

In alchemy, nested Ouroboros were read from the inside out, and they also used a numeric color code.

Xander swiftly thought for a moment and figured out the four digits!

He approached the stone platform and examined the rods, finding some graduations on top of them. These marked scales could match the digits!

’It wasn’t that hard!’

Xander sighed in relief. Under Dorian’s expecting gaze, Xander moved the sticks up and down based on those four digits.

But what made Xander surprised was that after finishing his actions, there wasn’t a bit of reaction from the hidden door!

If the code was correct, there would have been a few noises at the very least.

’Wrong?’ He thought, trying to move the sticks.

But as expected, the sticks were locked and needed one hour before trying again!

And at that time, chaotic footsteps could be heard approaching!

Two people!

Xander and Dorian were startled!

Did they finally catch up?

Triad Towers.

The audience were attentively watching the biggest scene on the magic screen.

They all watched Xander and Dorian quickly moving forward. Even if they didn’t know what the two of them were doing, they had faintly guessed that there should be a shortcut here.

But their moving speed was still somewhat slow!

The Gemini had two bodies with two different classes. The male Gemini was a fighter and the female Gemini clearly had a class with high dexterity.

They watched as the male merged into the female’s body, using her high speed to track the two brothers.

That scene was really too frightening.

The female Gemini was clearly more proficient in tracking, and she soon arrived near the forested area, found the cavern, and chased in.

The audience was sweating for Xander!

They didn’t think the two brothers could beat this frightening killer race!

The atmosphere turned gloomy. Both sides were now shown facing each other in the magic screen.

And that Celina who was climbing the snow mountain alone had long been forgotten!

In the corner of the Thunder Tower, Kate motionlessly watched the scene on the magic screen and quietly summoned Ding!
