Chapter 582 Four Pillars: Reconnaissance

"First off, does anyone have a reconnaissance skill they could use to check out the entire landscape?" Briefly glancing at the sky above them, Valyr turned around to look at the four and ask this question.

"What kind of information do you need?" Raising his hand, Hal stepped forward as he offered his help. "Just the landscape in general? Or something else?"

"The landscape and the general type of enemies we might come across." At these words, Valyr turned to look back at the landscape as he pushed his perception to the limit. Thanks to some of his skills and titles boosting his PER stat to a great degree, he was barely able to see a considerable number of entities roaming around the ruined city.

"[Hunter's Tracking Eyes]." Seeing as Hal nodded in response to his words, the young man went ahead and activated the skill he felt would be incredibly useful in their current situation, deciding not to deactivate it for the entirety of the inheritance lest they get ambushed.

Whoosh!

In less than an instant, the entire landscape before them had taken on a different view within Valyr's vision, with most of the city ruins dotted with small black circles. Knowing that each small black circle in his vision corresponded to an enemy, the young man was gradually able to separate the entire ruins by section, organizing each section by the number of enemies that lingered there.

"How's it looking, Hal?" Feeling like he had gained enough information regarding the city ruins through his vision, Valyr looked at the man that stood beside him.

In response to the question, Hal continued to stay rooted in his spot for a bit longer, only looking at the young man with a nod after a couple more minutes had passed. "I think I have a general idea of the landscape now."

"Alright." Nodding back in response, Valyr suggested he and Hal discuss their findings regarding the inheritance's landscape, to which the latter agreed. Returning to the other three, the two began to talk about what they've discovered through their respective reconnaissance skills, slowly organizing the entire inheritance into a map that allowed them to plan out their next actions.

...

"So, we have six sections in total." After an hour or so of continuous discussion between them, the five were able to finalize the map each of them would follow. "Between where we're standing and the city ruins is considered the plains. There aren't a lot of enemies in this area, so this would be a great place to get used to combat before heading in deeper."

"After that would be the four quadrants, which we'll be splitting to north, south, east, and west," continued Valyr while the others were listening attentively. "Compared to the plains, there are at least thrice as many enemies in those areas. In these areas, I'd suggest we split up the group into one pair and one trio to maximize our coverage while keeping each other safe from being ambushed."

Seeing as everyone could still follow his words, Valyr proceeded onto his explanation of the final section. "The last section would be the center of the city ruins, where the number of enemies there are thrice as many as the enemies found in the four quadrants. Once we're there, it goes without saying that the entire group will have to stick together no matter what."

"To add more information to the sections, the strength of the enemies in the plains range from the early to middle levels of Rank 3." With Valyr done with his explanation of the map, it was Hal's turn to talk. "As for those in the four quadrants surrounding the center, the weakest among them are in the middle levels of Rank 3, while the strongest among them are at the early levels of Rank 4."

"From what I could gather through my skill, a couple of beings have comprehended an Intent Seed of some sort in each quadrant," added Hal, causing slightly grim expressions to appear on some of the others' faces. "Fortunately, the feeling of an Intent Seed is pretty obvious, so it's easy to avoid."

"Lastly, the enemies we'll face in the center have strengths ranging from the middle levels to the peak of Rank 4." At these words, Faulus sucked in a breath of cold air. With the last-minute training he had done before the inheritance, he was confident enough that he'd be able to defeat beings at the peak of Rank 3 without a problem, even those at the early levels of Rank 4 if he pushed himself.

However, he had none of that confidence when talking about beings that went beyond that strength. After all, at that level, it was incredibly common for those beings to have comprehended their Intent Seeds.

Sadly, just as he was wishing to the heavens for the worst of his expectations to not happen, Hal's next words would realize just that.

"In that area, almost all of the enemies we'll come across would have comprehended their Intent Seeds to the first stage," said Hal. "Some of them have even comprehended their Intent Seeds to the second and third stage."

"Fortunately, none of the enemies have comprehended a full Intent yet. As long as we remain vigilant and use our strengths to the fullest, we'll be able to explore the entirety of the inheritance without much problems," added the young man, even though Faulus was already on the brink of fainting at the information he had heard.

"For now, let us prepare our journey to the plains tomorrow," said Valyr, noticing that the sky was now beginning to turn dark. Apologizing to the others once more for being the last one to wake up, he continued, "If you have the XP to do so, upgrade your levels to the peak of Rank 3. Just bring your equipment to me after that so I can enhance it to match your current levels."

Nodding in response, Hal took out what looked to be camping supplies from his spatial bracelet. "I'll take care of our housing for tonight, then."

"I guess I'll take care of cooking." Shrugging her shoulders, Loreina began to take out a small amount of raw ingredients from her spatial bracelet, asking Vera to help her out.

"I will be..." Pondering over what he could do to help the others out, a wry smile eventually appeared on Faulus' face as he realized everything that could be done had already been done by the others. "Concocting potions, I guess."

With that, the five of them busied themselves as the sky continued to turn dark. During that time, Valyr had taken out the anvil and portable furnace he had brought for the inheritance from his spatial bracelet, faintly nodding after he was satisfied with their placement.

Waiting for the others to finish their tasks and give their equipment to him, the young man decided to take a look at his notifications for the meantime, keeping his eyes peeled for notifications that stood out among the rest.

'Oh...?' Unsurprisingly, it did not take long for him to find one that greatly piqued his interest, inwardly grinning as another screen appeared beside the one he had brought up.

'Well then.'

'That's a welcome surprise.'
