Chapter 165 The Unexplored Gate

Any dimension that had not been fully explored was dangerous.

That was the real reason Joanna had bought the cloaks.

Staying low was always safer. If they ran into intelligent humans who could communicate, Joanna could easily claim they were pa

of a mysterious organization

She handed the black cloaks to Nighthowl and the others. At that moment, another group appeared near the summoning circle. One of them was Ivan.

He watched Joanna’s actions and frowned slightly. He found it strange.

“What are all these for?”

Joanna explained her reasoning.

Ivan let out a bitter laugh. “I thought I failed as a leader because I didn’t think enough in a dungeon run. But now I see it clearly. Even for a public dungeon, I still wasn’t prepared enough. Maybe I’m not fit to be a captain.”

Still, everyone knew one thing. Ivan was an excellent tank.

After that, the group finished buying everything they needed.

The destination was a place with no shared network access. Once inside, they could only trade with local professionals from that dimension. They could not contact professionals from their home dimension.

So it was better to

to overprepare. Better safe than trapped

Word spread fast. One person told ten. Ten told a hundred. Everyone who planned to enter that plane bought a black cloak. Without meaning to, they formed a whole faction.

Joanna hadn’t expected that. After sharing her plan, she was the first to step into the teleport portal.

“Do you wish to travel to Plane No. 138967? Temporary Name: Spectral Threshold-Gate of Hell. Upon entry, you will gain 1 Divine and Demonic Academy Credit per hour.”

“Yes.”

The teleport took longer than usual.

The moment she arrived, Joanna locked onto the portals location. Then she checked on the support professional wearing blue-and-white robes-the teleporter.

This person was critical. If the teleporter died, they would be trapped here forever. Joanna could not afford to miss her academy enrollment.

Nearby were members of the Space Alliance frontline unit. Their outfits were easy to spot-standard camouflage transmog gear. They were laying down ground tiles.

The ground gleamed with gold. It was solid gold bricks.

They had laid out a square about 100 feet on each side.

At the edges, golden lines were stretched. Nets and golden chains followed as they began building a safe

zone.

That was when Joanna heard noise. Drums. Horns. Metlic clanging. In the empty wilderness, a strange procession appeared. A group dressed in black and red harched forward, carrying a bridal palanquin. At the center was a bride in bright red ceremonial clothing It looked like an ancient-style wedding procession.

But something was wrong. They were far too fast. When Joanna first heard the sound, they were still over 300 feet away. In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of them-clearly targeting the group.

“Prepare for battle!”.

“Leave a team to finish the gold net. Move!”

“Are the reinforcements here yet? You four-oh, the ones in black cloaks-go help!”

With the cloaks on, no one could tell their classes. The frontline unit could only give rough orders.

“Leave it to me,” Lucien said confidently. “These are nothing. I can wipe them out in one breath.”

It was Lucien’s first time fighting alongside Joanna. He wanted to show off. He literally blew out a breath.

A violent tornado erupted. The wedding procession was torn apart instantly. The palanquin was thrown into. the air. The bride was stripped down to a single floating garment before vanishing.

“You have slain the Wraith Wedding Procession.

“You have slain the Wraith Bride.

“You have obtained: Wraith Palanquin (Gold-tier).”

“You have obtained: Phantom Wedding Gown (Gold-tie).”

“Wraith Palanquin (Gold-tier)

“Movement Speed +100

“Agility +1000

“Special Abilities:

“Spectral Bearers: While riding the Wraith Palanquin, a wraith-type entities below Gold-tier will automatically become your carriers.”

“Note 1: The Wraith Palanquin is formed by the Space Alliance System, compressing massive world energy into a single artifact. Its power is overwhelming-but so is its curse. While equipped, HP will continuously drain. You will suffer misfortune. If you have a loved on, one of you is fated to die, forever separated by life and death.

“Note 2: If you possess Space Alliance-grade equipmen the palanquin can be used as a fusion material to upgrade gear tier. This procedure removes the curse while preserving its value.”

Joanna stared at the line. “If you have a loved one, one of you is fated to die. There was no way she would

ever use it.

Besides, she already owned a similar item.

Phantom Crimson Throne.

The Crimson Throne was also a mount-type item. It was phantom-type as well. That made it compatible.

She summoned it and fused the two items inside her storage space.

In an instant, the Crimson Throne changed. Its dull, an que look vanished. The red parts gleamed like fresh blood.

“Your Phantom Crimson Throne (Silver-tier) has been romoted to Gold-tier.
