Chapter 120: The Guardians' Gauntlet
---
"Time for the SP farming to stop," Kent muttered as he surveyed the vine-choked gateway of the ancient Azure Forest Ruin. The lingering thrill of his recent covert pranks had faded before the urgency of his new mission. Almost immediately, his internal system buzzed with a crisp briefing:
[Ding! System notifications- Mission: Defeat the Four Guardians of the Azure Forest.
Objective: Tame all guardian cubs and place them in your void domain.
Reward: Unknown.]
Kent's eyes narrowed with a mix of excitement and wry humor. "At last, some real action," he thought. No more secret pranks or inconsequential SP accumulation; now, he faced enemies as legendary as they were real.
As the system's enigmatic message pulsed in his mind, he couldn't help but laugh. "Beat four guardians? And snatch their cubs like I'm running an animal shelter? Why do I feel like I am playing the role of a kidnapper!"
