The Degree
Hidden Destinations Rebellion

Four hours after the chaos hit the eastern region. The situation began to calm down and security was tight and checks were carried out. The Order was more concerned about the presence of intruders than a surprise attack.

In the midst of the chaos put the intruder very easily.

While Ray who became the caretaker was well received by the remaining members. Not everyone can have one voice.

There is one group that doubts his performance, another group does not accept just because Ray has a position as the man of choice Erina does not mean he is suitable. Then, one group considered Ray a traitor and sided with Blueeast.

Ray doesn't really worry about all their opinions. He was only worried that there would be stupid chaos such as rebellion because of these differences of opinion.

“Mein will be back after four days of rest. However, there is no sure guarantee. At least I should be able to last one week, two at most.”

The reason he does not like the position as a leader is because of this. There will be many people and many things are under his responsibility.

Although troublesome, but this is an important step for the future. Her thought.

There is uncertainty in the future and Ray needs to reorder his plans again and again.

Not only Ordo, Erina, or Virgo are eyeing the main prize of the bonus task. Ray wants it because he needs it.

Whoever completes the task of building the strongest union in the Open World then that person will be able to conquer everything easily.

It can hardly be defeated depending on how they use it. If you want the chances of survival are higher than completing the task. Then the person who completes this bonus task will probably survive until the end.

“If I don't finish it. At least I need to have the person who finished it.”

Ray can't let Erina go because of that. If the plan does not work then the backup plan is to make Erina complete the bonus task and get the reward.

Geck, tok.

The door of the room sounded. Ray immediately put away his thoughts.

“Log.”

From behind the door lies the existence of Terumi who came to know what his purpose was.

He should have had a job with the Order even though Ray did not know how detailed the mission was.

“What brings you here, Terumi? Ah, please sit.”

Take his chair and sit down. Terumi seemed reluctant to say the real reason he had come. A few seconds later, he thought of one thing and said it.

“No. I'm just wondering what Virgo's real purpose is. His words about war scared me a little.”

Well, it's not that hard to roughly imagine what the future holds. Ray himself was convinced that the war in question was a real war.

“I wonder if the war he was referring to, created a hell in the Open World. Is this related to the key to completing the fifth task?”

Ray thought nothing of it and looked at Terumi in surprise.

“Where did your thinking come from?”

Terumi put a finger to her chin like thinking hard.

“You remind me that before entering this mess, we solved the puzzle to complete the fifth task?”

A moment Ray joins the Redwest Rebellion's guild attacking the city. Before coming to know the situation Ray exchanges information around the puzzle being spread.

From that he and Terumi get an answer that although not certain the truth. But Ray believes that nothing is more likely than that.

“If you say it .. I think it's true.”

Ray was surprised that he had no thoughts of going there. Without having to bother anymore, he already had a picture of what the end of the fifth task was like.

With the fact that the basement is on every side of Open World. Where there are huge iron walls and unnatural rocks imprison the island from the outside world.

“Virgo destination is also strange. If he just wants to complete the bonus task then war is a bad way to do it.”

As sure as he is of the ability of his troops. War is a bad step to take.

“Yes. If he only wanted to capture the Redwest or the Blueeast guild. War will only make things worse. It is likely that Blueeast and Redwest will form an alliance after all this.” Terumi agreed on this.

If Virgo aims to complete the task of building the strongest guild, then not letting Blueeast and Redwest join is a wise move.

Ray is not sure that the man will make a plan based on the assumption that the relationship between the two leaders is bad.

What happens on the surface is not always true inside.

A grand plan based on an uncertain assumption is the same as suicide.

“What might be the real destination .. no, I can't think of how to move.” Ray massaged his forehead. For the first time he felt confused.

The situation is very different now than usual. Ray really salutes this place because very few things can give him a headache.

“I doubt it myself. If our riddle is right the answer. The scale required to complete it is huge.”

War might be able to do it but it would also suffer great losses if it would actually do so.

“Wait, I'll check one thing.”

Ray immediately accesses his watch and opens the Market. He was looking for things that he had not previously believed that the Market provided.

But the assumption since the beginning has been broken by the Blueeast union which has a motorized vehicle.

After searching for him Ray is surprised by the fact that the object actually exists. The war will be very difficult for them. Especially if their location is known.

Although the price seems impossible someone has the amount of DP. But the possibility is still a possibility.

“So so. Their goal since the beginning of the offensive was not to seize the Redwest. It's just a side bonus. His initial goal was to make these two unions join.”

Terumi just doesn't understand that. What good would it take for Rebellion to make two great guilds build an alliance? That step should be avoided.

“I don't understand the reason at all. What's the benefit for them to do it? If so wouldn't they get a reward for completing the bonus task?”

That's where the problem is. By making him think so, Rebellion's original purpose was well hidden.

Ray was really grateful to Terumi who wanted to exchange her opinion. By exchanging opinions, he is able to see things that are invisible.

“No. Once two islands are exceeded. Instead of doing it one by one they choose to complete both simultaneously.”

Ray leaned back into his chair and raised his legs to his desk. His actions may be indecent, but they are not important at this time.

“They want to complete the bonus task and the fifth task simultaneously. Well, I'll discuss it later. You will find out later.” Ray heaved a sigh of relief and intended to discuss another topic.

A possible topic from the beginning Terumi wanted to raise.

“So, what your initial goal came was to question about Virgo's words about my past. Where did I kill my father, right?”
