"Well, I'll tell you a little about how I came to Seth Duat and how we decided to become blacksmiths in this place."After a while of pressure from Fenrir, Loki and Mercia, Edgar finally gave in. He finally opened up a bit about the story that led him to do all these things in the first place.It all started with the attack of the monsters who managed to break through the magic wall on the border of the Forbidden Place, which ultimately made Edgar feel like a failure and decided to change his appearance and identity so that he could guard and protect the residents of the area even if it was by stealth."Really? Then, let's quickly tell me about something." Fenrir was enthusiastic when Edgar finally opened up to him and his two friends and began to tell his story of how he came to be in that place."Ten years ago, I received an emergency message from the border gate of the Forbidden Place in the Nordam Empire. The emergency message said that there were many monsters who had managed to
Edgar and the rest of his troops pursued northward according to the information they received. ''What is this? Why are there so many monster carcasses all over the road we're traveling on?''Edgar stared in horror at the sights he had seen as far as the eye could see, where with every footstep, Edgar could see almost the entire road surrounded by dead monsters, occasionally he would see the bodies of adventurers or royal soldiers who had lost their lives and were just lying there.''I believe these are the carcasses of the victims of Wukong's ferocity judging from the bite marks. That means we're heading in the right direction. We must catch up as soon as possible so that no more victims fall."From Edgar's observations, he could confirm that all the monsters he saw at that time were the same type as the monsters that Edgar and his soldiers were currently targeting, so Edgar was very sure that the direction they were heading was correct. A few days into their journey, Edgar and his
"This will be the last crystal shard I implant in your body."Edgar placed a dark purple crystal on Fenrir's back."After three months of crystal hunting and hundreds of crystals used for bone forging, this shard will finally be the last piece to complete the technique we've been working on."Using a mysterious technique, Edgar made the crystal on Fenrir's back emit a dark purple aura. The aura slowly entered Fenrir's body, causing him to flinch slightly. Fenrir felt again the warm sensation penetrating the bones in his back. A sensation that had become like daily food for him over these three months."It seems your body has absorbed it perfectly. With this, we can be sure that your body is now equivalent to an S-rank Warrior."Edgar patted Fenrir's shoulders with relief and pride. Because with this, he officially had an S-level disciple.Fenrir looked quite tired after going through this whole process, but the results obtained were far more than worthy of fighting for. Now Fenrir fel
"This will be a long night. Our hunt in this barren land will soon end. I will lead you to victory.""To victory.""To victory."Edgar's short speech was followed by cheers from his troops, showing the spirit of the knights ready to fight on the battlefield.Tonight was the night Fenrir had been waiting for since he arrived in Seth Duat. After three months of struggling with monster hunting to extract their crystals and performing bone forging techniques on his body to have a much stronger physique, it was now time for Fenrir to show that these three months hadn't been wasted. Together with Mercia and Loki by his side, along with Edgar and the Nordam Empire knights he led, tonight they would finally attack Wukong's lair.The Scout troops had successfully confirmed Wukong's whereabouts after months of monitoring his movements. And tonight would be their first direct attack on Wukong's lair.Previously, Edgar and his troops had never directly attacked Wukong's lair and were more defensi
An enormous dark red lightning bolt was seen striking in the middle of the battle. Its flashes of light illuminated the night revealing the blood-soaked land produced by the battle between the knights and Wukong. The lightning struck the body of Wukong who was being surrounded by dozens of Nordam Empire knights. The impact caused the knights around Wukong to bounce off as well. Wukong couldn't move from the magnitude of the attack. His body seemed to be rooted to the spot, paralyzed. The power of the Swordmage judgment strike sword technique that was strengthened by Suzaku's fire really gave damage that Wukong could not block. Seeing Wukong who began to fall, the knights were increasingly eager to immediately defeat Wukong. They attacked Wukong with all their might. The strength of the Nordam knights was no less great. After all, they were the chosen ones who were under direct orders from Edgar. With various attacks ranging from sword techniques, arrows, and magic were deployed to s
With a sharp gaze Fenrir prepared to draw his sword. There was no hesitation in his eyes. "...No, sir. Forgive me..." Wukong again begged for forgiveness. "...I will definitely keep my promise. You can perform the golden headband technique on me to make sure I always obey your orders...""What is the golden headband technique?""...It's a special technique to curb my power. Every time you recite the incantation, it will bring unbearable pain to me, and it will make me follow all your orders. This technique was once created by a god to punish unruly servants..."Fenrir was quite curious about the veracity of Wukong's story. From his current state, Wukong would not dare to lie to Fenrir, because Wukong was also unlikely to escape with a body full of wounds. "Alright, teach me the spell."Wukong taught Fenrir the golden headband technique. Soon a headband appeared on Wukong's head. "...Look master. This is a sign that I am fully under your control..."Fenrir could also see a golden
This morning the weather was very cloudy. I don't know how long it had been since the Seth Duat Desert was shaded by black clouds like today. Fenrir was seen opening a few pages from his mother's book as if to release his curiosity and nostalgia for his mother. Fenrir is now quite confident that he can use the entire contents of the book considering that his body's strength has increased rapidly. Even Fenrir can now remove all of his mana restraining rings and earrings without fear of losing consciousness. Fenrir was also quite sure he could remove the seals in his eyes without losing control. But Fenrir chose not to because he did not want the people around him to feel the impact of the immense magic power he possessed. "What book are you reading, sir?"A boy about five years old asked Fenrir about the book he was holding. Seth Duat was now a fairly safe and well-visited region after news of Wukong's conquest had spread throughout the Empire. Many merchants brought their families
"Master..."A scream followed the woman's presence. A pained cry full of worry. Fenrir immediately lunged at Silya's body, which looked so limp and helpless. Fenrir managed to catch Silya's head which almost fell to the ground. Fenrir worriedly channeled his mana to try to heal Silya. "What happened to you, master Silya?"Fenrir unconsciously shed tears seeing Silya's limp and wounded state. The clothes attached to Silya's body were full of blood and there were many open wounds all over her body. Edgar, who was also shocked by Silya's condition, immediately ordered to call the healer troops to help Fenrir heal Silya. "Who has done all this to you, master Silya?"Fenrir continued to channel his mana to stop the bleeding on Silya's body. Some of the wounds looked so big and Fenrir could tell they were wounds from torture, because Fenrir had been tortured by Zeldris so many times that Fenrir knew exactly what they looked like. It was a wound from the lash of a slave whip. "Is that y
