Versatile: Alternate World-Chapter 615 Phase 2 Begins
With the help of the Anti-Material Bomb, leveling became too much of a breeze. It took me at least 20 waves before I reached level 200. It wasn't much but at least I don't have to worry too much about reaching this far with my slow exp gain. Of course, the result of reaching level 200 is emptying all of my pockets of the Anti-Material Bomb. I purchased multiple crates of it and I can potentially say I purchased at least 200 pieces of Anti-Material Bomb. To think that I used them all up. It's not much of wonder though as the bosses keep getting harder and harder and one bomb is not enough to grind them to shreds.
But I am also thankful I don't need to bother fighting much before I hit level 200 and just emptied my pockets using up all the bombs. Not only I reached level 200 but I also gained lots of elemental shards that I will be using later on once I am able to go back to Resurgia.
Stepping into the Teleporter, I was teleported back to the room where the Automaton is staying. The automaton was waiting for my return and from the looks of it, the Automaton observed what I did back there.
"Are all wingless these powerful? No one else has survived that long in the Dark Sea and lived to tell the tale."
"Oh, not at all. I am not that powerful, this achievement of mine is not that spectacular and in the future, there will be more people who will be visiting here to beat up those monsters on the Dark Sea. For sure, my achievement right now might be very good but it will be soon surpassed by other people."
"So all the wingless in the mainland are stronger than you? Then that means purging the monsters in the Dark Sea will not be a pipe dream after all."
"Anyways, I will be going home now. I am tired after all the action. What are you going to do now?"
"I am born here and my creator dedicated most of my programs to properly function even without him in here. Also, it's my duty to remain here to act as the guardian that will serve as the gatekeeper of the Dark Sea. I will be staying here and will help all people who wanted to see and fight the monsters in the Dark Sea just like what you did."
"Then please do your best."
I left after that after fulfilling my goal of reaching level 200. However, I am not going to log out just yet. It's time to initiate Phase 2 already and help out the faction that I favor the ideals in this battle. That way, Phase 2 will be more of a big advantage compared to the time in the past timeline. After all, this faction will be the losing faction.
"Leona!"
At my command, Leona appeared from the portal and started flying up in the sky before landing not too far from me. I jog to Leona and climb her back, opened the map, and surveyed the area for a bit.
"To the East, Leona!"
And so, we begin with a flight to the East. The place where the rebels are camping, waiting for the right time to strike.

While Bladeheart is now in the process of igniting the second phase to begin, Sigma and Harmless Sparrow who is in the middle of the investigation finally found a big clue that leads them to an answer to what they are looking for.
Although they barely had any contributions to the city at the moment, the two didn't mind and continued their attempt to finish up something. Sigma had a very bad feeling about it and so she continue to investigate what is happening. They didn't know that Bladeheart even finished the first phase but seeing the corruption during their investigation, they are more eager to expose the Tactician.
They felt that something is amiss and something is still doing some trouble. After all, the expedition should have been over the moment Bladeheart finished the quest so what is keeping them there? There is still something that they have not completed and that's the main reason they are still not being freed from the expedition it seems Harmless Sparrow and Sigma are on the right path.
Right now, they just eliminated one messenger bird that they intercepted, carrying a letter from the Tactician to a contact of the latter. Harmless Sparrow made sure that the letter was not rigged to be a trap if not opened by someone who isn't supposed to open the letter before she handed the letter to Sigma to read.
"Castellan, how are you on the East? Are you fine there with the enemies prowling on your border? It seems the cult that we are sponsoring on invading is already destroyed. I have received a piece of news that they were eliminated by a pioneer who didn't appear. I tried to check who it was but I didn't get a decent answer as no one knows who it was but all I know is that the guy who did it is named Bladeheart and he is part of the pioneers.
My preparations are complete and since the first plan failed, we should proceed to the second plan. The populace will not be able to do anything after we give them the device. Even the Pioneers will not be able to stop us. I hope you have already gotten rid of the damn rebels as they have already caught wind of the plan so I hope you would give me a proper response after this. I would need good support to fully utilize my authority before we slowly occupy this city and then the whole kingdom. I am sure the bishop will be pleased if we take over the kingdom."
Sigma immediately crumpled the paper and toss it to Harmless Sparrow who immediately slashes the paper, igniting it to flames.
"I knew it. It seems this is the second phase of the expedition. The cult attacks were just part of their plan and without the cult now, they decided to go and use the second part of their plan."
"So what are we gonna do now? Is there any chance we can stop this? I doubt anyone from the pioneers would believe us either," Harmless Sparrow tilted her head.
"The letter said that they are trying to put an end to the rebels since they caught wind of the plan. It seems to be something like an opposing faction that is trying to stop what the Tactician is doing. Perhaps we can go and see what they got to offer or if they still exist."
"Do you know where they are?"
"Unfortunately, there is no exact location but the letter hinted that there is something happening in the East. There's no other clue but perhaps it is enough to know."
"The blockades that prevent us from exploring are already gone so we can now go further and beyond the continent so I guess we should go and see it. It mentioned as rebels so perhaps there is a chance we will have to go against the peeps here and do some revolution stuff."
"Should we tell the others about this?" Harmless Sparrow asked.
"No. We should confirm this first. If it was indeed the case, then we shall go and talk to them after this. We should hurry. Alpha, come out."
Sigma summoned Alpha out and Sigma fly up on Alpha's head alongside Harmless Sparrow and landed there.
"Oh, right. Try to contact Bladeheart. He must know this. I don't think he is involved with the Tactician and he is the one who warned us about him. Perhaps we should let him know about this."
Harmless Sparrow nodded and contacted Bladeheart. A few seconds later, Bladeheart answered the voice call of Harmless Sparrow.
"Yes?" Bladeheart talked on the other line.
"Bladeheart, where are you now? We just found out that there is more to the expedition," Sigma answered.
"I am working on it right now. Wait, so you guys discovered it too?" Bladeheart is surprised.
"Yeah. We investigated the movements of the Tactician and realized he was behind some of the events and he is making sure that we will fail this expedition. We are planning to go to the east because we heard there will be some rebels who will be opposing the works of the Tactician," Harmless Sparrow explained this time.
"Looks like you guys already know much. Indeed. Come to the East and meet me on the biggest tree not too far from the city on the east. You guys will not miss it. We will team up on this one as it seems we are going into a war."
"Okay, we will meet you there," Sigma answered and Harmless Sparrow ended the call.
"Alright. The plan is now set. Alpha, let's go."
And the prelude to the new war is now igniting.
