There were warriors having a grave expression guarding it, but when they saw Max, they immediately became friendly, causing the players to notice them to be stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors allowed Max to enter the Bell Tower after he requested politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max walked towards the stairs spiraling upwards until he reached the platform where the bell tower could be observed closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned when he noticed an unstable mana radiating from the clapper itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have detected an unusual mana in the Village Bell Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remaining places to be investigated: Range Watchtower.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought.I can’t determine what type of mana it is, but it should be a mana where demons have high affinity. It’s disgusting, to say the least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having an intermediate level proficiency in mana sensitivity, Max could barely perceive the unstable mana while failing to presume what it really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced below and stared at the warriors, staring at him while beaming a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled at them and nodded, shouting, \"I’ll be coming back now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take care!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful! You might fall out of fear of heights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max simply smiled at their response as he descended below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chatted with them for a while before thanking them as he proceeded in the Village Watchtower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he met a lot of players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were still wearing shabby clothes, while he... was already wearing equipment of a D-Rank class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max didn’t even bother hiding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indirectly revealing to the players that he was the mage, who earned a global achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought.It doesn’t matter anyway if my face has been engraved in their mind. My face here and back in the real world are not a hundred percent similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max was quite confident that he appeared more handsome in the game than in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the NovaLite Pod was currently less advanced in capturing a facial image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like comparing a first-generation phone to the latest generation of phone, the former being the NovaLite Pod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Max was not famous in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the second time that I’ve been described like this. I hate myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max sighed as he proceeded to the Ranger Post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ranger Post was where the players, who wanted to gain a class in the Ranger path, were currently training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also where the Range Watchtower was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, it would be inevitable for Max to gain the attention of other players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ranger’s path has quite a broad class at D-Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archer, Scout, Assassin, Thrower, with the first two mentioned classes being popular in the Greyfen Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max couldn’t remember a player who was popular in the Greyfen Village who chose the ranger’s path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t familiar with Julian’s cohort in the first place, except Jaden who betrayed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max chatted with archers, who were guarding their post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Max led the topic to his current mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, \"I’m currently on a mission given by Archmage Arlen, my teacher. He wanted me to investigate the places he deemed as having an unstable mana. The Range Watchtower is included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think it’s possible for me to investigate it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archers glanced at each other, until the archer with long hair said, \"Since you are on a mission from one and only Archmage Arlen, then of course we allow it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if possible, you should tell Sir Sylwen about it, he might be able to help you with your mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max nodded. \"I’ll definitely talk with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archers then didn’t keep Max with them anymore as they opened the gate for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max entered and instantly saw countless players drawing their bow and hitting a target that was at least fifteen meters away from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the players were also moving in the shadows, sweeping their gaze from time to time to earn the D-Rank Class – Scout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max would always wonder what was more amazing in becoming a scout than becoming a mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max saw a B-Rank NPC with an Epic rank set of equipment, supervising the players, who were training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would personally correct each player’s stances from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max didn’t hesitate to walk towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the B-Rank NPC noticed him, the B-Rank NPC left the players and walked towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"I’m Sylwen Thorn, a Spirit Marksman. If I’m not wrong, you are sent by Archmage Arlen to investigate the unstable mana here, correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max was surprised. He nodded. \"So, is there really an unstable mana in the Watchtower?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylwen left his gaze from him and glanced at the Watchtower, facing the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replied, \"I haven’t been there, but just by standing here, I can already sense the repulsive mana of those hideous demons.\" His tone growled on his last words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max could discern the hatred Sylwen had for demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylwen said, \"However, I trust Archmage Arlen’s judgement. He hates demons more than me. Since he sent you, then you are more than capable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go and investigate now. You have my permission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Max could respond, Sylwen already turned around to continue his teaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, noticing most of the players had stopped practicing as they stared at them with eyes filled with curiosity, he quivered in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted, \"What are you dawdling around for?! As a punishment, 1 hour of horse stance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players grumbled in frustration as they immediately took a horse stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max glanced at them with indifferent gaze as he turned around and proceeded at the Watchtower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he ascended through the spiraling stairs and stood above, he met an archer, overlooking the outside of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max shook his hands as he received an amiable smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archer said, \"Nice to meet you. I just saw you chatting with Sir Sylwen. He gave me a signal. I assume it’s to entertain you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max chuckled. \"I guess so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max turned towards the outside of the Greyfen Village, seeing a grey fog swallowing the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pulled his hand away from the archer, he noticed an imp staring at them mischievously, as though provoking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archer noticed where he was looking and said, \"This guy... I spent around twenty arrows just to kill him, but he always evaded it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I’ve already injured him, I still can’t wipe that grin off of his face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max stared at it in nonchalance and silently cast a spell on his wooden staff behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replied, \"So, one arcane bolt is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the spell casting was finished, he swiftly aimed the staff towards the imp, who was taken aback by his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it was able to make a move, a white bolt swallowed its vision.\u003C\u002Fp>",1136,"2026-06-05T20:05:02.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","833ba0d0de9e25f8856e6868f1b3b73a58659b1e5902c63f02c8944ad9048e47","apocalypse-online-regression-of-sss-class-summon-chapter-25","apocalypse-online-regression-of-sss-class-summon-chapter-23",45,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-online-regression-of-sss-class-summon-cover.jpg"]
