Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 422: Chapter 421, Arno Wants to Become a Prosecutor?_1

The fully revised English translation.

A party of seven continued on their path to level up.

「Xileruo World.」

The death of thirteen Prosecutors shocked the entire Xileruo World. The major Clans were all in turmoil. The death of thirteen Prosecutors meant that thirteen positions were vacated, and countless Clans wanted a slot. Although being a Prosecutor had many inconveniences, for the Clans, it was undoubtedly the utmost power.

The party of seven had just left the cave.

Arno sent a message: "Jiang Chen, are you free?"

Jiang Chen replied, "What’s up?"

Arno: "In Xileruo World, thirteen Prosecutors have died, leaving thirteen positions open. Our Clan has secured a spot."

Jiang Chen: "Your Clan wants to claim this spot?"

Arno: "Yes, the identity of a Prosecutor is very important. I will fight for this spot, and I need your help."

Jiang Chen: "When?"

Arno: "Now."

Now? That guy is in such a rush! I’m still trying to level up! Jiang Chen thought.

He stopped in his tracks. "Looks like leveling up will have to wait."

"Something wrong?" one of his companions asked.

"Yeah, Arno wants to become a Prosecutor," Jiang Chen explained.

The others exchanged bewildered glances. Become a Prosecutor? This...

Alice nodded. "That’s good. We can’t become Prosecutors, but Arno is our friend, and he’s reliable."

"I was thinking the same," Jiang Chen said. "I’ll try to help him complete the Prosecutor’s task."

"Then let’s go back together and stop leveling up for now," Alice suggested.

"That’s fine," another agreed.

Jiang Chen shook his head. "No, you all keep leveling up here. You haven’t completed your Third-stage advancement yet. When you’re at Level 149, I’ll help you with your Third-stage advancement. Maybe by the time I help him complete his task, we’ll be at the same Level."

Angelina said, "I’ll go back with you."

"Okay."

Jiang Qiu nodded. "That works too. We wouldn’t be much help if we went; you’re enough. We’ll search for tribes in the Giant World. Leveling up as a five-person team is still quite fast."

"Let’s settle on that then."

Jiang Chen took Angelina back to Xileruo World.

「...」

「Xileruo World.」

Inside the Gori Grey family villa, Jiang Chen sat on the sofa. An Elf girl stood beside him pouring tea, while Arno sat opposite.

Arno spoke first, "I really do need your help this time to complete the Prosecutor’s task."

"What task?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I don’t know yet, but we’ll find out tomorrow. You level up quite fast; you’re at Level 155 now. Just a few months ago, you were only Level 50!"

Jiang Chen asked, "Thirteen Prosecutors died, and there’s no investigation?"

Arno shook his head. "No. Prosecutors are Heroes. Heroes dying in other worlds are simply not investigated. But once Prosecutors die, their positions become vacant, and people will step in to fill those spots."

He continued, "Originally, our Gori Grey Clan wasn’t qualified. But this time, thirteen Prosecutors died, creating several vacancies, and our Clan just managed to secure a spot."

So, my killing thirteen Prosecutors indirectly helped the Gori Grey Clan, Jiang Chen mused.

"Don’t you have to start as a Probationary Prosecutor?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes. And to advance from a Probationary Prosecutor, one must complete tasks set by the Alliance of All-Gods. Once I become a Prosecutor, I can appoint ten retainers—assistants, that is. I will give you five spots."

"What benefits do assistants get?"

"You must have heard that Prosecutors are completely immune to damage. A Prosecutor’s assistants are immune to 50% of damage, just like experts of the [Order] Sequence."

This caught Jiang Chen’s attention.

Currently, as a [Cataclysm] First-stage, if he fought against someone of the same faction, he would be immune to 20% of damage. This meant if an enemy attack normally dealt 100 damage, he would only receive 80 after the immunity. Immunity to 50% of damage was indeed quite good. For Jiang Qiu and the others, it was undoubtedly the best option. If they encountered another assassination by the Heroes of the Continent of All-Gods, they could be immune to half the damage. In a battle between equals, this was critically important.

Arno continued, "And to become a Prosecutor, you must start as an assistant. You might not know this, but I’ve already served as a Prosecutor’s assistant for three years."

Jiang Chen was surprised; Arno had never mentioned this.

"So that’s why you qualify to become a Probationary Prosecutor."

"Yes."

"But you didn’t have any tasks?"

"Assistants don’t need tasks. This position was secured by my Clan exchanging resources with the Bach Family. In our entire Clan, I’m the only assistant."

An exchange of interests? Jiang Chen wondered. He then asked, "If Jiang Qiu and the others become assistants, do they also have a chance to become Prosecutors?"

Arno nodded. "Yes, but I must tell you, it’s only a chance, and it’s not a big one."

The Gori Grey Clan was a major Clan. Within their entire Clan, there was only one assistant and one spot for a Probationary Prosecutor. Arno had waited in the wings for three years just for this opportunity, which showed how difficult it was to become a Prosecutor. And those who did become Prosecutors were undoubtedly the Heroes of large Clans. Ordinary people had no chance at all.

Arno went on, "Generally speaking, after becoming a Prosecutor, most will appoint their closest people or those from their Clan as assistants. When a spot becomes available, they will recommend their assistants to become Prosecutors. The path to advancing as a Prosecutor is completely different from the Sequences. Above Divine Envoys—[Apostles], [Cataclysm], [Order]—you only need sufficient Merit Points to be promoted. But to advance as a Prosecutor, you need to kill important figures."

"If you want," Arno offered, "you could also become an assistant."

Jiang Chen shook his head. "Never mind."

I’ve killed thirteen Prosecutors, Jiang Chen thought. If I really became an assistant and then a Prosecutor, wouldn’t everything be exposed when they check memories? Not to mention how many people I’ve killed; even how many times I’d peed would have to be accounted for.

Arno laughed. "I know what you’re worried about. As long as it’s not a major crime, it can be overlooked. It’s just conflict between Heroes. Even if you’ve killed a Son of God, it can be pardoned."

"What if I killed a Prosecutor?" Jiang Chen asked, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

Arno’s face stiffened. "What? Killed a Prosecutor?" he stammered. Don’t tell me you killed those thirteen Prosecutors! Bro, you’re trying to scare me to death!

Jiang Chen chuckled. "I’m just joking."

"Ah... That’s not a funny joke," Arno said, letting out a shaky breath.

「...」

Jiang Chen returned to the villa.

As night fell, Jiang Chen entered the Dream Realm.

On a beach, under a parasol, Jiang Chen lay on a sun lounger wearing sunglasses, waiting for Daphne to arrive.

Daphne arrived.

"Can’t you change the scene? Why is it the same every time?" she complained.

"Do you not like it?"

"I prefer a big bed."

Jiang Chen was speechless.

"When will you reach your Seventh-stage advancement?" he asked.

"Soon, just another month or so. I’m at Level 345, five Levels away from accepting the task. Remember to help me then—to kill one of your Prosecutors!"

She really has a vendetta against Prosecutors, doesn’t she? Jiang Chen thought. And I’m supposed to help her kill one? Doesn’t she know they’re immune to damage?!
