"Say it again," Alden's words pierced Cyro's heart with a chilling cold.
Alden, shrouded in red mist, grabbed Cyro's hair and forced him to kneel.Cyro's body trembled. His once confident gaze vanished. The lower part of his jaw had been cleanly severed.It was evident that Cyro couldn't answer, but Alden intentionally pressed him to speak. He knew Cyro could regenerate the wound."Stop now, Darbend is on this floor! Don't overdo it!" Black Orb tried to halt Alden.Gradually, Cyro's jaw regrew to its original state. As it happened, Cyro mumbled unclear words, "You Monster!""That's not the answer I wanted," Alden responded instantly, increasing Cyro's tension."The Dark Lord will come for you!" Cyro still had the courage to smile.The red mist around Alden almost entirely concealed him, the effect of Hell Monocle's disguise losing its efficacy. Ultimately, rage consumed him, once again....A fThe green eyes of Alden grew darker, and the red mist thickened."Alden! Stop now! If Darbend senses you, everything will be over!" Black Orb tried to calm him.At that moment, Conine, inhabiting Cyro's body, realized something crucial. The longer Alden emitted his dense energy imbued with characteristics of destiny, the more apparent his presence would become to Darbend. If Darbend noticed this, he would come swiftly!Furthermore, he gained Cyro's memories; another vessel of Dorm The Savage was in the city, meaning Dorm The Savage would regain his power. Just as Cyro had said, if this continued, Alden would eventually have to face three Emperors simultaneously!"I believe the Dark Lord won't kill her quickly. He will torture her until she begs for death!" Conine continued to provoke."Hellfire," Alden placed his palm on Conine's face, causing it to blister and be engulfed in black flames.Alden allowed Conine, using Cyro's body,
A month later.Third floor of the Dark Dimension.Riven, wearing a pink dress, looked graceful with an owl mask on her face. She stood in front of a large podium with a book inside a box with a bluish barrier.Alioth stood behind her, looking both unbelieving and satisfied with the pleasure. For the first time, his manipulative smile showed genuine delight. "As I expected," he muttered.Riven walked slowly toward the podium, then gently touched the barrier with her slender fingers.The surface of the barrier rippled, slowly like a burst of water.The book inside the box had a purple cover with a rough surface. Unique carvings on it seemed to conceal many mysteries, written in gold ink.Coated with leather material, the book's cover had a dark hue with a purplish tone as if emitting distress."Is this the Dark Lord's Grimoire?" Riven looked impressed.After dissipating the barrier, Riven slowly touched t
A month later, in the city of Baront.Located in the heart of the imperial area.Riven, dressed in simpler attire without a face covering, revealed her beautiful Elven features. Her shoulder-length blonde hair and pointed ears were on display.She held an old book created from the hatred energy of those who died because of the Dark Lord.In front of her, a Dark Soul Labiryhtix knelt. Although it was a Dark Soul nested from the second floor, which certainly lacked intelligence, it still submitted to the power of the Dark Lord.Riven used the hatred energy within the book to directly turn Labiryntix into a clump of dust.She then moved forward, entering the Gate from Labiryntix Nest.…In a different area, Erin found herself standing in front of Alden. Strangely, the Alden she saw wore a gentle smile. Erin could quickly tell it was an illusion; she felt slightly eerie seeing Alden genuinely express such an emotion.
A month earlier.After Alden and Erin crossed the door to the human world, Riven was stopped by Alioth."Remember, the Event will happen at the latest within two months from now. And as much as possible, when that time comes, you must fully master that power," Alioth said.Riven didn't respond; she immediately crossed the door without hesitation....Back to the present.Hendric was a key holder. With him disappearing suddenly, the Guardians from various churches would start a massive search.Because of that, Alden had to act quickly. He didn't want to encounter troublesome issues.His brief interrogation with Hendric led him to one conclusion. Unlike Moss, Hendric hardly knew the fact that Allen The Fate might be on their side. Therefore, the interrogation didn't go smoothly.Alden looked at Hendric, his green eyes sharp and imposing, making Hendric tremble. The aura of destiny around Alden grew stronger.
The second floor of the Dark Dimension, Rule World.Riven immediately met Alioth as per their agreement.It didn't take him long to find where Alioth was waiting; it was a frozen cave containing the dead nests of frozen scorpions."Where are your companions?" Alioth asked, his red eyes still emitting a threatening aura.Riven replied, "They're dealing with something."Alioth nodded in understanding. "I don't think we need to wait for them. We'll finish this quickly; Lily doesn't like me being on this floor."Riven dug into his knowledge. "Lily The Desire, one of the Emperors who didn't suffer defeat from the hero party other than Darbend and Alioth."The second floor was the domain of Lily The Desire, and sooner or later, Alioth's presence would provoke her to come."What should I do?" Riven asked.Alioth answered briefly, "Simple." He smiled....Two days later.On the second floo
Human world, Grandburg City.A giant door appeared in the city square. The door had unique carvings that left many mysteries. Upon its appearance, people began to show panic, with various reactions emerging.Among the Guardians, there was a chilling fact. They soon realized that it was something related to the Dark Dimension.A few moments later, the door slowly opened. Leaving marks on the ground and sweeping the surrounding houses. Inside, a desert expanse was visible. Filled with the ominous red hues.A two-way door connecting the first floor of the Dark Dimension and the human world emerged in the middle of Grandburg City.The second floor connection door appeared in Iveburg City.The third floor connection door appeared in Roshire City, in the southern continent.The fourth floor connection door appeared in the imperial capital of Devon, Devon City.The fifth floor connection door appeared on an uninhabited
Seventh Floor, Dark DimensionInside the black castle of the Dark Lord."Who dares to change the rules of the Dark Dimension, is it one of the Elves!?" Darbend shouted at his subordinates loudly. There was clearly anger in his tone.Some of his subordinates kneeling before him remained silent, unsure of how to respond. Then, a familiar voice spoke up. "Alioth, he is also a traitor." The voice came from a tall man with scars on his face, oozing pus that instantly turned into white acid, it was Conine The Disease."Alioth? That brat!?" Darbend began to lose patience. But he also wasn't sure. Until now, Alioth had been like the youngest child among the Emperors. He was the last Emperor directly appointed by the Dark Lord to rule the dream realm on the seventh floor.He knew Alioth liked to cause trouble like a typical youngest child, but he was very obedient. Besides, unlike Allen The Fate, Alioth had no way to break the contract with the Da
Two days after the connecting door between the Dark Dimension and the human world opened.Grandburg City.The guardians lay helpless, their skin turning green as they crawled slowly. Conine continued to spread the Toth Plague, and the Crystal Prism could only handle some of it.Conine's main goal was simple: to lure Alden out. Actually, he could have tracked Alden's whereabouts by now; he had marked him previously. But there was a concern that made him decide to lure Alden to where he wanted. After all, Alden was the son of Allen The Fate.In the pitch-black night, the guardians in Grandburg City struggled. At this point, none of them had lost their lives, but they were rendered powerless by the Toth Plague.Conine sensed a connection that seemed to warn him. He quickly realized that the target was nearby.Alden walked under the full moon, with the Hell Monocle on his eyes."You finally came. I was getting bored waiting,
