2024-01-22 00:01:09The next day, they prepared to head to the city of Grandburg. Although Grandburg directly bordered Heinburg, being the oldest city in the empire, it displayed noticeable differences from Heinburg.
Grandburg was under the jurisdiction of the three largest churches: Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter. While other churches existed, these three held the most influence.To reach Grandburg, they only needed a three-hour walk from the city center to the border.In the center of Heinburg, Erin returned in her traveler's attire, similar to what she wore when they went to Delburg."Your hair is longer?" Alden noticed Erin's small change.Erin touched her hair, gently stroking it, and said, "Will it be a hindrance in battle?"Alden shook his head, "Don't ask me, you're the one who will feel it.""But I think as long as you stay behind during battles, it won't be a bother, You're a Spell Caster after all," Alden added, offering a bit of ad

"But, there's something strange about the incident in Delburg. Two Guardians on duty died there, but it seems the issue was resolved by someone before a large group of Guardians was sent there.""If it's not a party of Guardians, then it should be related to a Traveler's party.""Yes, that's also a possibility."…For the first time, Alden heard news about what happened in Coastal Village after they left the village in quite a mess. He understood the suspicions arising among the Guardians in the bar.The Dark Soul that appeared then was indeed a second-floor Dark Soul but had been blessed with intelligence by Conine The Disease. Besides, Cyro, a Dark Soul from the fifth floor and a direct subordinate of Conine The Disease, was also involved. If not for Erin's formidable power that could affect Cyro through the Rune, Alden wouldn't have been able to defeat him in his condition at that time. Moreover, Cyro wasn't using his original body, ma

Alden refrained from retaliating and simply observed the unexpected guest. Unfortunately, the mysterious figure remained concealed in the darkness, and Spell Flame alone wasn't sufficient for a clear view."This energy belongs to a Dark Soul," Black Orb warned.With slow and casual steps, the figure entered the range of the Flame Spell's light. The person seemed to have a humanoid posture, and Alden might not have known if Black Orb hadn't informed him that it was a Dark Soul."I can't see any Dark Soul energy from her at all," Alden mumbled.In Alden's eyes, there was no black energy circulating, as typically seen with Dark Souls. However, Black Orb's advanced detection capabilities allowed it to sense the truth behind the woman's disguise.She wore tight black clothing with a hood intentionally covering her face. Despite the lack of visible features, her body suggested that she was a woman.The curves from bottom to top exuded

Alden brought the Elf woman into the lower district. Carrying her on his back, he traversed the dirty and deserted streets."Why are you bringing her? From her reaction, it's clear she has a conflict with Darbend The Eclipse. Didn't I warn you not to get involved with the Emperor's affairs any further?" Black Orb scolded.Alden listened calmly to Black Orb's complaints. At least, thanks to the sudden appearance of the previous guardians, he had time to calm down.It was true that interacting with individuals connected to the Dark Soul Emperors was clearly dangerous, especially when it involved Darbend The Eclipse, who led the Emperors. "You let me get involved with Conine The Disease before; why not now?" he questioned coldly."That was a different case! Getting involved with Conine The Disease might be dangerous, but he's still in hibernation and can't harm you for a long time. It's different when it comes to Darbend The Eclipse!" Black Orb still

"Lord Allen, what will you do?" Riven said with determination and hope.Alden observed the hopeful expression on Riven's face and sensed an opportunity. "You can enter the Dark Dimension anytime, right?" he asked.Riven furrowed her brows, seemingly haunted by terrible memories of that place. She nodded as a positive response, saying, "Only to the sixth and first floors."Alden smiled, feeling satisfied with her answer. "Join me. I assure you, at some point, your vengeance will be fulfilled," he declared with manipulative undertones.Bound to the chair, Riven clearly felt a glimmer of hope. "Is he willing to help me seek revenge? If it's Lord Allen, it must be possible!" She united her thoughts, finding a long-awaited glimmer of hope."But, you must know that I am not Allen The Fate," Alden stated with a cold smile.Riven was taken aback, her face filled with worry. The hope she glimpsed before seemed to vanish. She just stared a

The next day, as planned, Alden and Erin entered the Lower District area of Grandburg. The newly risen sun had not fully illuminated the area, perhaps due to the dust in the air preventing the sunlight from fully penetrating."Where were you last night?" Erin asked, puzzled. The previous night, she knocked on the room Alden had booked, but there was no response.Alden looked at Erin gently and replied, "To find this." He said while holding up the painting.Erin wasn't surprised anymore, as Alden often took matters into his own hands. She quickly understood, "Is that the Dark Soul Seed?" she asked.Alden nodded.Normally, an ordinary person could distinguish a Dark Soul Seed approaching the Gate formation stage. However, according to Black Orb, they still had two hours before the Gate fully opened.They had time to prepare and find a suitable location.While walking, the gaze of the district's residents always fell on the

Guided by Alden, Erin stepped into the Gate. The cold wind, seemingly blowing through the bluish-black circulation, made Erin shiver slightly.But, seeing Alden's calm expression, she quickly reassured herself that there was no danger.They entered the Gate.The scenery changed; the previously dim sun was now entirely gone. Their feet stepped on hard mud, which cracked as they walked. Erin looked around; it was genuinely an enclosed space.And the atmosphere around her turned grim, heavy, and melancholic. "Is this the Dark Dimension?" Erin wondered.Alden observed Erin's reactions gradually. "No problem," Alden mumbled in his mind. His other purpose in having Erin enter the Gate was to see what reaction the Dorm The Savage's power would have.Considering it was just a nest and not an open Dark Dimension field, Alden was confident that even if the Dorm The Savage's power reacted, he could handle it. Seeing no change in Erin, Alden

After making preparations, they set off towards the northern part of the Grandburg city.Entering the desolate area after leaving the urban region, dense forests flanked both sides. Besides the path they followed, there were no signs of hustle and bustle. If they continued on this path heading north, they would eventually reach Baldam, the northern edge of the Devon Empire.About a kilometer away from Grandburg, they stopped with the intention of making this place their training ground.Erin complained, "This is even farther than the western forest in Heinburg!"Alden smirked, "The western forest in Heinburg is still within the city limits. Remember that I'll be teaching you a Saint-level Spell." Alden provided clarification to Erin.Erin nodded resignedly. Knowing that generally, Saint-level magic was of a destructive nature, and practicing it near settlements was clearly unsuitable. It would attract the Guardians.Leaving the b

"Ugh, why is this village closed?" Gideon asked in a friendly tone.Frank turned again to his companion, then sighed deeply. "Haven't you heard the news? It seems the Dark Soul from the second floor attempted an evil ritual in this village, but it was completely stopped. However, because all the residents died as a result, the village was closed." He explained.Gideon glanced up at Master Dorm. With his index finger and thumb on his chin, Master Dorm smiled. "Gideon, take me in!"Gideon took a short breath hearing Master Dorm's words. On the other side, Frank looked at Master Dorm cynically, seeing him as a mischievous kid."Okay," said Gideon. He stepped forward, completely ignoring the presence of the Guardian, and crossed the boundary."Sir, what are you doing!? This is a restricted area. Even though the problem inside has been completely resolved, according to air quality reports, it is still contaminated!" Frank tried to stop Gideon.

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
