Slowly, blurry images began to form in Alden's vision. The white walls surrounding him vanished, replaced by deep red mist. The scent of blood entered his nostrils, metallic and pungent.
His mind returned to his body, and he blinked in silence. Confused, he had just experienced an unexplainable tranquility, never thinking it would turn 180 degrees. The last thing he remembered was locking eyes with a green lizard.Attempting to recall what happened, Alden froze as various memories stabbed his mind. Splatters of blood, desperate screams, and hands soaked in blood.Alden raised his hands, thick red fluid covering his palms entirely. His mouth opened, but not a single sound came out. He just trembled there.The memories became sharper over time. He realized what he had just done—killing and destroying. Though he doubted his capability, the memories were too vivid.At that moment, the gentle voice of Black Orb eased his confusion a bit. "QuicRelated Chapters

Back to the present.One week passed quickly.Alden, feeling no imminent danger, let himself sleep throughout the night. When he woke up, he was stunned to see a crater nearly twenty meters deep and thirty meters wide stretching before him. The remnants of spreading flames were still visible, and the heat lingered.He stood only to see Erin, under the morning sun, standing in front of the crater with a satisfied smile. Erin had successfully mastered the Meteor Shower spell!"You did it," Alden said quietly, as if finding it hard to believe.Erin turned around, her sweet smile revealing the joy and satisfaction in her heart. Her blue eyes slightly squinted, radiating an unexplainable tenderness. "Yeah," she said briefly.But soon, her knees trembled. She fell to the ground, knees bent. Cold sweat dripped from her cheeks."She's almost out of mana!? With an unimaginable amount, how could she run out of mana!?" Alden panick

Seeing Erin, Alden quickly introduced their new companion.After a brief introduction, Alden noticed the sun beginning to set. All preparations had been made beforehand; now was the moment he awaited.Riven, dressed in tight black attire, silently observed Alden's actions.Alden closed the bar's door, letting darkness creep inside. Skillfully, he ignited flames on his shoulders with the Flame spell.With the fire as illumination, Alden took out all the required materials. Nine Nest Cores.Crystals of various shapes and colors. Alden infused mana into the Nest Cores, observing changes in their shapes and colors. Slowly, the nine Nest Cores connected through thin threads of mana.Alden adjusted and condensed mana, focusing on his actions.Behind him, Erin and Riven silently watched—one in awe, the other attentively observing Alden's every move.Time passed, and after nearly an hour of waiting, the Nest Cores began

Walking a few kilometers from the mountain's base, their group entered a swampy area. The swamp water was murky, with dry branches and muddy rocks adorning the surroundings. Dry mangrove trees made their path unclear.Alden's initial plan on this floor was to find materials for crafting items. He needed certain items as a foundation to achieve his goals. First, to replace the one-sided sword he currently wielded, he needed a sword with the same functionality but with specific upgrades. This was the Smithing World, and he didn't want to squander its existence here!Additionally, he needed to create the Ring Of Fate, a recommended item by Black Orb. The Ring Of Fate had fate characteristics within, allowing the user to get closer to the domain of destiny. With the Ring Of Fate, Black Orb could utilize more of its powers beyond just energy detection or prophecies.The next item was the Heart of Nightmare. Alioth suggested this item as a guarantee of safety wh

If it comes to preparedness, Riven is better equipped. She carries a magical item in the form of a bag that can hold items beyond its size.After navigating the swamp area, they faced bone alligators, swamp frogs, bearded scorpions, and several other wild Dark Souls they encountered.Penetrating the swamp, they found a dry forest. The barren reddish-brown soil, tinted red by the ringed sun, added a tense atmosphere.Alden had obtained all the necessary materials to make the Hell Monocle. Materials for two other items, which tended to be difficult, remained. First was the heart of the dream villain, the next priority target, the main material for creating the Heart of Nightmare.After searching for a considerable amount of time, Alden finally found his target. He and his two companions, Erin and Riven, hid behind dry trees, observing a group of dark souls happily surrounding a campfire.The dark souls wore hoods, concealing their true form
Conqueror Of The Dark Soul Chapter 66 - Coincidence
After obtaining the necessary materials, there was no reason for them to stay in the wild, so they headed towards the Dwarf settlement, where the best-quality items were crafted....Day or night on the first floor of the Dark Dimension was marked by the presence or absence of a ring around the red sun. When Alden and his group first entered the Dark Dimension, the sun had a ring, indicating it was daytime.Now, the ring around the red sun had disappeared, and the atmosphere became darker with a subdued red hue. They were closer to their destination, bordered only by the hills of the dry forest. However, the challenge was the dangerous Dark Souls that tended to appear at night.Alden, however, wasn't concerned, as it might have been troublesome if he were alone, but now he had companions to fight alongside him.Dryads were dangerous Dark Souls, once permanent residents of the fourth floor of the Dark Dimension, but now some of their speci

"You know, Dwarves are also Dark Souls, but they often help us humans," Bradley continued, his eyes still deep.Alden held Erin's hand tightly and glanced back. "Hey, how are you?" He asked Erin's condition.Erin shook her head softly, then said, "I feel tired..."Alden reluctantly began to think about why all this was happening. "Is it because of the use of the Saint Meteor Shower spell? No, she's not out of mana. What's really going on?" Alden raced his mind, fearing that Erin might suddenly summon giant ice boulders while covering the area with a blizzard. The traumatic scene felt imminent.Getting that answer, Alden then looked back at Bradley and his two companions. "No need to worry, we're not your enemies," said Alden."Reasons?" Bradley said coldly, his grip on his sword tightening.Alden turned to Riven. "Open your hood," he whispered softly.Riven, still shocked by Erin's condition, furrowed her brows behind he

"Marked?" Alden asked, puzzled.Seeing Alden's reaction, Alioth fell silent for a moment, his poker face unchanged."How much time do I have?" Alden inquired.Alioth answered, "Who knows, maybe one or two months."Alden furrowed his brow, racing his mind. In one or two months, if following Black Orb's plan, Alden should already be in the next city, searching for the key holder to the second floor. And that also meant, the most important special item, the Ring Of Fate, should have been completed.But Alden still had thoughts that it might not be enough; his opponent was one of the Emperor Dark Souls!"Know that it's highly likely not only Conine, but another Emperor will be sent to hunt you down. The worst-case scenario is if it's Darbend." Alioth expressed concern in his tone, but from a manipulative standpoint, he was more afraid if his plans were discovered by another Emperor; that would be the worst outcome for him."
Conqueror Of The Dark Soul Chapter 69 - Something's Off
Turning to Erin, Geld asked again, "And what about the young lady?"Alden spontaneously replied, "She's my younger sister."Geld furrowed his brow in confusion, "He has two children?"At that moment, Black Orb sighed deeply.Erin smiled, "We're not related by blood,"This revelation surprised Alden, who looked at Erin in confusion. Erin smiled oddly upon realizing Alden's gaze, saying, "What?" as if nothing was amiss.Alden was momentarily stunned before Geld spoke again, "You're here, meaning the Soul Vessel item was successful in containing your father's soul, right?"Alden didn't know how to react. In front of Geld, he should divulge everything, but he feared it would create conflict between him and Erin.Alden simply nodded, avoiding verbal confirmation.Geld breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, have you obtained the necessary materials?" Geld asked.Alden was a bit puzzled. "Did Geld alrea

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
