Chapter 744: Impossible
(Cervantez’s POV)
Even with his regressor memory, there were certain things in Terra Nova that Cervantez considered to be utterly impossible.
One of those was a player ever reaching the Level 1000 milestone, and the other was a player acquiring the [Divine] skill, [Future Sight].
Mathematically, reaching Level 1000 was an insurmountable feat for any single player. Yet, defying every law of common sense and probability, TheBoss stood on the cusp of that legendary milestone, with many months of game-time to spare, virtually assuring that he would somehow make it.
It was a feat that was not just exceptional, but also simply unrepeatable, as there was not one player in the universe who could do what ‘TheBoss’ did.
However, having witnessed TheBoss’s exploits first hand, Cervantez could somehow still grasp, at least in part, the reasons behind him becoming level 1000.
But even now, despite everything he knew, Cervantez couldn’t begin to comprehend how Leo had managed to acquire [Future Sight].
[Future Sight] was a move that was supposed to be impossible to master for anyone under the [Transcendent] realm, it was rumoured that even if one did find the skill scroll for the move, it was impossible to grasp the skill at the current level of players and even ‘TheBoss’ was no exception.
Being only a ‘Master’ level fighter, ‘TheBoss’ still had a long way to go before he became a transcendent level figure, which was why Cervantez could not wrap his head around how or why Leo could allegedly perform the move.“No… it’s impossible for someone to learn future sight, it can’t be… but I also saw him pausing right before he killed Tor, it can’t be a coincidence either.
So what’s the deal with ‘TheBoss’ and his powers?” Cervantez wondered, as he bit his lip and thought about all the times where ‘TheBoss’ displayed abilities that he wasn’t supposed to show.
‘TheBoss’ could somehow replicate any move that he witnessed being cast and Cervantez wondered if he saw someone using [Future Sight] and somehow learnt how to replicate it, even if doing so to a lesser extent.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“No… that’s not possible either, there are no transcendent level figures in the world of Terra Nova. It’s impossible he picked it from someone else using that move….” Cervantez murmured, as his inability to deduce the source of Leo’s unexplained ability caused him to panic.
As per his memories, the skill scroll for [Future Sight] was last seen in possession of a brave NPC sailor 250 years ago within the game world, who tried to sail beyond the storms and try find new lands by relying on future sight to avoid danger.
While it’s unknown if he succeeded or failed as per game lore, however, what is known is that he was the last known man in possession of that scroll, with many believing that it’s now at the bottom of an ocean within a shipwreck, in the world’s most dangerous waters.
“That’s the last known place for the divine scroll, and I am sure that the uprising have not actively searched for a shipwreck yet near the western sea.
The Boss should most definitely not be in possession of that divine scroll, that’s simply impossible…
But if not the scroll then what? Is it an artifact? Are the game developers cheating to help him?” Cervantez wondered, as the fact that his number one rival may potentially have future sight, bothered him greatly.
“If he does really have it, it’s impossible to beat him in one versus one battle.
I’m sure he did not rely on that move during the second annual rankers event, which means he should have obtained it recently” Cervantez mused, as he thought back on how Leo fought during the second rankers event and felt assured that at least back then, he could not look into the future, as if he could, he would not be fighting the way he was.
“This changes everything….. winning this war might not be as simple as I imagined” Cervantez concluded in the end, as the legend of ‘TheBoss’ began to psychologically haunt him more, now more than ever before.

(Meanwhile PinkLotus and Luke)
While Leo hogged all the spotlight fighting Tor and Lysa, PinkLotus and Luke silently dismantled the DarkSky defence.
Understanding their war tactics the best, Luke made sure to hit spots that would break the shape of the defence, allowing the charging WhiteSaber guild to easily run through the DarkSky front lines without facing too much opposition.
Compared to PinkLotus, Luke’s fighting style did not have as much flair or raw explosive power, however, in terms of overall impact on the tide of war, he probably contributed twice as much as PinkLotus did.
PinkLotus on the other hand, flowed through the battlefield like a goddess of war, as she cut down the sea of opponents before her as if they were simply droplets of water in her path.
Compared to a few months ago, her fighting style now seemed way more fluid and refined, as she moved with a gracious beauty and seemed to have no wasted movement.
“Someone stop her! At this rate she will kill an entire legion within half an hour!” One of the DarkSky captains shouted, however, no-one on the battlefield was her match.
As a master warrior, her power, precision and skill control was vastly superior to her peers and it showed in the way she fought, with no-one being able to stop her fury.
“The enemy is overwhelming us! Retreat! All DarkSky troops pull back…. We cannot defeat them here–” A captain shouted eventually, as just a mere hour after PinkLotus and Luke joined the fray, the DarkSky guild ordered a retreat of their frontal troops, ordering them to come back into the safety of the city through the hole that the WhiteSabers had created in the city walls.
It was a clear change in tides, and against all odds it seemed like the WhiteSabers now had an upper hand in this war.
