The island was illuminated by only a few dozen torches, which flickered and swayed in the sea breeze like demons dancing. In the torchlight, thousands of followers scattered across the island could be seen clearly.These followers were dressed exactly like what Remus had seen before. Most of them wore black robes and had hoods on their heads, while their faces were covered with masks. They walked quickly, with their heads down, moving with a sense of urgency.Of course, there were exceptions. In front of each team was someone wearing a red robe, leading the way.Looking down on the Island of the Monarch from above, one could see columns of people moving like centipedes, all heading toward the square behind Monarch Palace.In the middle of the square, a platform that was 100 feet tall had been constructed, with a large torch burning at the top. However, the light from the flame only illuminated a small area.More and more believers were gathering in the square. About ten minutes la

The dense crowd of 500 people moved along grandly. It was a bizarre scene on the ocean's surface at night. Beneath the waves, schools of fish scattered in all directions. Everywhere they passed was devoid of life.Meanwhile, on the Island of the Monarch, the Dark Saintess raised her hands and called out devoutly, "Dark Deity!"The elders and thousands of followers repeated her words and actions. After that, they all sat down cross-legged, with their eyes closed, not saying another word.Their posture resembled the meditation practices of Darsia's cultivators. However, since they all had their heads bowed, it seemed more like they were engaged in some kind of strange ritual.…Remus was still moving quickly above the sea, and suddenly, he remembered someone he had long forgotten—Ruby.In the past, traveling between the Island of the Monarch and Darsia was done by riding Ruby, but ever since Remus entered Chaos' domain, Ruby had disappeared.But Remus thought that perhaps not reac

The Fourth Elder never would have imagined that Remus would be so decisive. Remus was just someone he randomly bumped into! He even dared to kill the Dark World's followers. How was this any different from declaring war?He looked into Remus' eyes, wanting to ask who he was but lacking the courage to say it out loud.He obediently responded, "We... We are going to Sakurasom!"Since Remus was speaking Darsian as well, the elder didn't dare mention that they were going to Darsia, fearing he might kill him.Though Remus knew what the elder was thinking, it didn't really matter where he was going.He asked again, "How many people are left on the Island of the Monarch, and how strong are they?"Upon hearing this question, the Fourth Elder became even more anxious. How did Remus know about the Island of the Monarch? Was he planning to go there? And why was he asking who was on the island?Remus gave him another look when he was panicking, so the Fourth Elder hastily said, "The Saintes

Remus asked indifferently, "I'm asking you, how are the people on the island doing?""They're fine! They're all alive!"Raul blurted out. "I was the one who insisted on keeping them alive. Back then, Garth was adamant about executing them, but I intervened."They're now imprisoned in the dungeons on the island. Do you know where the dungeons are? They're in the western region of the island, and there's a three-story building there—that's the entrance to the dungeons."Remus, I beg you, for the sake of our past acquaintance and the fact that we're both from the Dragon Protector Clan, please spare me. I can go into hiding, or I'll be your most loyal servant. Please, let me go."It was clear that he was genuinely afraid.Upon hearing this, Remus felt a sense of relief. As long as they were alright, it was fine. If they had been killed, it would have been impossible to explain to Chaos.However, Raul saying that it was his request to spare the people on the island was just a way to

Cheryl followed the direction of Garth's gaze and saw a person swiftly walking through the air in the dark of night. He was moving at an incredible speed. What caught their attention was that this person wasn't wearing the standard Dark World robe, but rather casual clothing."Who is that?""What brings him to the Island of the Monarch?"Jelun and Logan instinctively spoke up.Cheryl furrowed her brows. "It seems like an enemy!"From the person's presence, it seemed he was here with a purpose rather than just passing by.Garth let out a cold snort. Not only was he unfazed, but he was also a bit angry. This island was his domain, and for someone to barge in uninvited was a disrespect to him. "Jelun, go confront him!"Jelun didn't hesitate. He quickly shot up into the air and, within just three seconds, blocked the person's path.He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you to dare come to the Dark Road without permission? Do you realize that this is the greatest provocation against th
