2024-01-07 00:01:18Alden approached the little girl and crouched in front of her. Carefully, he smiled to reassure her, as the poor often tended to be afraid of those relatively affluent due to the prevalent social inequality in the Devon Empire.
"Hi, little girl. Is that your doll?" Alden asked gently.The little girl nodded while clutching the doll tightly. Then, she spoke softly, "Yes, he is my friend."Alden observed the straw doll carefully. Dark Soul energy clearly emanated from it."Do you know that the doll is not an ordinary one?" Alden asked again.The little girl shook her head slowly, her face expressing both confusion and shyness.Alden then reached into the pocket of his short coat and pulled out a silver coin. With the glint of light on the coin's surface, Alden extended his hand."Would you like to exchange it with this?" Alden asked again.The little girl remained puzzled. In fact, she had never seen a silver coin

Erin tried other spells like Ice Shard and Ice Barrier. The result was that she could use Ice Barrier but failed with Ice Shard. It was confusing considering Erin had a high affinity for the water element.Meanwhile, while guiding Erin through her exercises, Alden began to passively control the mana around his sword. He didn't overtly display his actions, continuing to provide guidance to Erin while maintaining the enhancement on his sword.For Alden, manipulating mana was relatively easy, given his early proficiency. However, due to the thinness of his mana, he decided to stop practicing, fearing he might run out before the Gate opened. On the other hand, Erin faced the opposite challenge, with an abundance of mana that needed careful control to stabilize her spells.Several hours passed with this training.The straw doll began to show signs that the Gate would soon open. Alden quickly realized this and warned, "The Gate is about to open; stay be

The Gate vortex persisted for some time. Alden entered the Gate to arrive inside the Miner's nest.The place was filled with shiny purple rocks, but strangely, they seemed ethereal. It was a cave with a dense mining atmosphere.Within the layer of purple minerals, there were other crystals that looked more tangible. They had a crescent moon shape with purple gleams and striking brown lines."This is the sixth Nest Core..." Alden murmured, taking one of the crystals.Apart from the Nest Core, he found two unique orange helmets, mining equipment that seemed to enhance mana flow. For Alden, who now had very little mana, these items were useless. He thought they might be useful for Erin's training, so he took both of them—one to sell.After exiting, Alden used the spell 'Fletus Spina Obscure' to destroy the Dark Soul Seed on the straw doll as a precaution.This way, Alden could ensure that Erin was now capable of using different spel
Conqueror Of The Dark Soul Chapter 39 - Journey
"You know this will be a dangerous journey, right?" Black Orb gives an early warning. "Not only for you, but also for Erin," it continues.Alden nods in understanding. He's aware that their current destination might be more perilous, considering the target Dark Soul is from the second floor of the Dark Dimension, the Bubble Plague. This type of Dark Soul tends to be particularly dangerous for individuals with unstable mental conditions, and both Alden and Erin fall into that category.Therefore, long before this plan, Alden contacted Alioth to request assistance in maintaining Erin's stability. Now, in addition to the ring, Erin also possesses Alioth's red crystal, making it easier for Alioth to provide aid when needed.As for Alden, he feels more confident. The domain of the second floor of the Dark Dimension is the mind. Consequently, most Dark Souls inhabiting that place have dangerous mind-manipulating abilities."Since I used the 'T

"Is that the same Dark Soul mentioned by Moss?" Alden asked, observing the city through the window.Black Orb then replied, "Yes, and their number might be more than expected.""You need to find the source of that Dark Soul," Black Orb advised.Alden nodded, and with a furrowed brow, he began to think, "But how can I find the origin of them? Isn't it supposed to be in the sea?""Finding it might be easy, but destroying it is a more troublesome matter," Black Orb said.Alden continued to observe the city while asking, "Bubble Plague is a Dark Soul that spreads a plague... do you think they've started spreading the plague outside the village and entered the city center?"Black Orb calmly answered, "At least I don't sense Dark Soul around.""I might be wrong because the Dark Soul energy from that village is so massive," he continued."Isn't this issue too peculiar?" Alden still furrowed his brow. There was a worry
Conqueror Of The Dark Soul Chapter 41 - Frodo's Discovery
"Inside the mirror? Sounds intriguing," Alden said spontaneously."Yes, indeed. Mirror domain magic can influence reality; that's why that type of magic is considered unique. The Gods set limitations on the use of magic affecting Reality, creating the Law Of Reality," Black Orb explained briefly.Alden nodded in understanding.Similar to fate domain magic restricted by the Law Of Fate. Alden was no longer puzzled by these terms.There were four magical domains whose scope was so vast and powerful that they would affect the course of life. Magic related to Reality, magic related to death, magic related to Fate, and magic related to time. Rules were established to reduce the effectiveness of magic in those domains—Law Of Reality, Law Of Death, Law Of Fate, and Law Of Time."So, what kind of help can I provide for you?" Alden then asked seriously, facing Frodo's reflection in the glass bottle."Mmm, where should I begin..." With var

Alden decided to exploit the situation. "No problem, I just want to witness the cave. I don't want to disturb Lord Conine," he said in a friendly tone.The middle-aged man led Alden to the cave. As they approached, the dark aura became more intense, and faintly, Alden could sense the accumulated Dark Soul energy. On the other side, Black Orb began to make predictions by manifesting its crown. It knew that Alden had decided to stick to the original plan, finding Frodo's body and resolving this issue."Are you sure you want to leave your dear sister at the inn?" Black Orb asked.Alden looked at Black Orb with a strange look before answering quietly, "She'll be fine; I'm sure Alioth is watching over her now."In front of the cave, with sharp rocks forming a mouth-like cavity, they found a square brick door. Weak waves occasionally crashed against the sharp rocks, but not a drop of water entered."Lord Conine is still in hibernation and canno
Conqueror Of The Dark Soul Chapter 43 - Rune
Some moments earlier:As Alden left the inn, Erin anxiously watched him slowly move out of her sight.After calming herself, taking a deep breath, she immediately locked herself in the inn room. On the floor, there was a circle engraved with white chalk. The circle contained various unique and mysterious symbols.There were three layers of circles, each layer containing different symbols. Erin struggled to channel mana into the circle.Mana flowed around her body, but it was challenging to transfer it entirely into the magic circle. Erin was sweating after just the second attempt."Can I really do this?" Erin wondered, losing confidence.However, she quickly remembered Alden's reassuring words that she could do it.Next attempt."Focus..." Erin mumbled softly.She closed her eyes to feel the mana in her body more effectively. The mana flow took the form of a swift river, coursing through her veins fierc

"Creating a Mana Cage?" Alden asked, puzzled. It's not that he didn't know what a Mana Cage was; it's just impossible for him to create one in his current condition."Yes, you can ask your dear sister to create a Mana Cage. Otherwise, if Cyro wakes up, it will be challenging to fight him," Black Orb suggested."With that, you can peacefully deal with the Toth plague," he continued.Alden pondered for a moment and then agreed. But before that, he needed to continue his search for Frodo's body.Through Frodo's reflection on the Liontin coin, he could sense if his body was nearby. Alden successfully entered another side of the cave containing several piled-up corpses.One of them was Eric's body."So, they killed their targets before deciding to disguise fully," Alden understood the situation. However, due to the limited number of Bubble Plague, none of them disguised as Frodo.Apart from Frodo's still warm body, the others

Chapter 92 - New Beginning [End]
Above the peaks of the Rinderr mountains.Darbend snapped out of his dream and fell to his knees. Meanwhile, Merlin suddenly widened his eyes as if a locked memory had just been released, for the first time since Artheon's death, he felt free.However, that also meant death for him. He fell to the ground, his vision starting to go blank with a smile of relief....Alioth woke up from his dream, one he wasn't even aware of. He stood behind the Dark Lord's throne, with Riven kneeling on the floor not far away, bowing his head."What's happening?" Alioth asked."Everything is finished," Riven replied."I overheard all your conversations with that person. And I know, killing you here won't bring back my people," Riven seemed to carefully consider his words, "I know you didn't save my people as you promised. I think you're afraid if the new Dark Lord truly emerges and you can't control him. That's why you pressured me to become th
Chapter 91 - The Conqueror
Two days later.Alden opened a space with a special spell to reach the peak of Rinderr Mountains. He, Erin, and Merlin quickly spread the shadow prisms to form a special magic circle.Its form was so dense and had a strong aura of dark power. Reflecting pain and evil as if emanating from the magic circle.They began to channel mana into the magic circle. Within minutes, a terrifying red light emitted from the circle, gradually devouring the existing darkness and creating a mysterious void.Alden, using the Hell Monocle, accidentally saw traces of mana around him. It was filled with nauseating horror. Just by seeing those dreadful mana traces, Alden suddenly fell to his knees as if his own mana was mixing with the mana around him.As his body began to lose control, a holy light brought by the winged woman immediately awakened him. He quickly regained consciousness, realizing that only a few seconds had passed since his loss of control.
Chapter 90 - Catastrophe
Alden felt an unusual heat flowing in his blood. Suddenly, within the darkness, Alden stopped moving. He knelt down in prayer as red smoke engulfed him, his figure starting to blur and gradually merge with the red mist....A magnificent palace built with gold and diamonds, towering high above the clouds. In the sky, various floating islands moved in a fixed orbit. Alden looked at this scene with both confusion and awe.As his mind began to whirl, he remembered that he should be in the midst of battle with Darbend. After looking around, he didn't see the presence of the Black Orb. That was normal considering the Black Orb had fallen asleep due to the effects of Nullus Ego.As silence descended, Alden suddenly saw the figure coated in golden light. A woman with four pairs of shining wings floated with a gentle smile.Consciously observing the woman's eyes, which were green like a lake and deep like the ocean, Alden couldn't look away for a
Chapter 89 - Three
After the golden explosion occurred, Darbend transformed into pure darkness. He seemed to merge with shadows, becoming the embodiment of darkness itself. All the golden light was blatantly absorbed, rendering any attack ineffective against him.He looked down and saw Alden attempting something on his mana extraction. He flicked his fingers and sent a fragment of light towards the Red Dragon.On the ground, Alden hastened his steps with the Acceleration Spell from the wind element. Making his body as light as a feather yet precise and sharp as he sliced through the air, encountering almost no obstacles in his path.When he stood before the Red Dragon, Alden immediately focused on the mana streams. And one concept that made him unique, "I am not destined to die here," he murmured. At that moment, red smoke began to emanate from nothingness, coalescing and seemingly forming a sword above his own sword.With the power of the domain of fate, Alden inte
Chapter 88 - Nightmare
Seeing the confrontation between Merlin and Darbend, Alden seized the opportunity to prepare his attack. His target was Darbend!So far, Alden had mastered four saint-level spells in the four elements. Ice Mountain and Living Freeze were among them, and then there was Meteor Shower.Considering that Darbend was a user of light and dark elements, none of the powerful spells at Alden's disposal could defeat Darbend. One thing was certain: Alden didn't have much mana left.At least, he wanted this attack to have enough impact to at least weaken Darbend.He first concealed himself within the Ice Circle. All his actions were hidden.On the other side, the wild Dark Souls attacked each other. Even the Red Dragon incinerated the wild Dark Souls with its breath.The Guardians who witnessed this began to take advantage of the situation. They immediately retreated to avoid direct confrontation.Amidst the chaos, a thick greenish-y
Chapter 87 - Eclipse
Hearing Black Orb's brief explanation, Alden nodded in understanding. He knew his main issue right now in fighting multiple enemies at once was his limitation in mana capacity. Indeed, the Hell Monocle had enhanced his mana capacity to a certain extent, but in this situation, the results would still be apparent.Additionally, Merlin's presence also brought about change. Alden wasn't sure if Merlin would assist him in this battle or let him be defeated to then exploit it to defeat Darbend as well. Either way, Alden was a descendant of one of the Emperors in the Dark Dimension!Knowing that the only thing he could rely on was his own abilities, Alden tried to push aside some of those brief thoughts and focused on his opponent.A skeletal arm hurled like a boomerang, a light slash from Alden's sword sliced the yellowish-white object in half, halting its momentum.Following the attack, a red dragon spewed flames devoured by the darkness. In this momen
Chapter 86 - Merlin The Magus
After successfully saving the cage that trapped Zenith in an alternate dimension, Allen The Fate's role ended there for the time being. The influence of Allen The Fate's immense power was still too overwhelming for Alden's body to bear.Alden quickly returned to consciousness, amidst the conflict with Darbend and Conine.Darbend seemed to notice the change and immediately launched a direct attack, seizing the opportunity. He disappeared from his position before suddenly a bright light quickly blinded Alden.Managing its effects, Alden only suffered ten percent of its actual impact. Thanks to Geld, who made the Hell Monocle uniquely resistant to three main aspects: illusion, light, and darkness.Behind the light, Darbend shot a dark ball that warped the air.With the Hell Monocle, Alden could briefly see the trajectory of the ball and reacted quickly to dodge instead of trying to resist it. He leaped to the side as a green tentacle awaited
Chapter 85 - Unknown Man
In a brightly lit white room, Alden witnessed a scene as if it were pumped into his head. He observed what was happening in the outside world, the brief conversations and short battles between Allen The Fate and Darbend The Eclipse, all quite clear.After contemplating, Alden closed his eyes and took a breath. At the same time, a crack appeared in the room as if something had just shattered the white light around it.From the crack, a golden cage fell from above. It landed gently and smoothly on the surface in front of Alden.He saw Allen the Fate do something to the cage where Zenith was imprisoned, and he wasn't surprised to see the cage in front of him. In fact, this was according to plan.Allen the Fate could take over Alden's body in critical moments because of the effect of the ring of fate. The Ring of Fate, in short, was a dimension of fate built based on the uniqueness of the Fate Eater's mind, which was the main material. By combining it
Chapter 84 - Allen The Fate
Alden was consumed by boundless rage. However, as he attempted to launch an attack on the newly arrived Darbend, his body froze, unable to move. Seeing nothing unusual around him, Alden was puzzled by what was happening, but it was overshadowed by his anger.His expression was filled with bitterness and despair.Facing this situation, Alden hadn't prepared his mental state well.The ring on his finger oozed a red fluid resembling blood. When Alden realized it, he was already in a different place.A valley with incredibly clear water stretched out before him. Remaining silent for a few moments, Alden could see a red stain flowing on the water's surface.The red stain spread before eventually turning the water's surface into a thick red color....On the other side, Darbend stroked the snout of his red dragon mount casually.Under the dark sky, gray clouds billowed.At that moment, Alden, standing not far
