A smirk curved his lips as he looked up at the sky. The sun was glaring, but he secretly raised his hand and, using his wind power, guided a cluster of clouds to block it. "Wait," he said to the two Sawikin trailing behind him. They stopped and exchanged glances. Alkan turned around to face them. Two small purple flames swiftly flew toward them and entered their bodies. "I didn’t want to do this, but I don’t need shadows following me." He sighed. "So don’t blame me. I wasn’t the one who ordered you to follow." He signaled the two Sawikin and took the lead, walking toward a secluded cave. In truth, it was a hidden cave, but earlier, he had extended his awareness over a hundred kilometers and discovered a small cave concealed by towering grass. He placed the two Sawikin inside and p

After hours of flying in the sky, he spotted a stream below. He slowly descended and waved his hand. A few droplets of water floated toward him, and he immediately opened his mouth. Once his thirst was quenched, he scanned his surroundings. The place was unfamiliar to him. It was not among the memories he had acquired from Menandro and Achiles (his name in his first life). There was also a strange energy enveloping the entire forest. He extended his consciousness, but a force blocked him. His awareness couldn’t pass through the trees, so he opened his eyes and once again observed his surroundings. He tried flying into the sky, but he found himself unable to break through an invisible barrier surrounding the airspace. Alkan’s eyes narrowed. It seemed someone wanted to trap him in this forest. He landed and walked toward the stream. Stopping at the edge, he raised his hand. Within seconds, five large fish floated up from beneath the water. Using his earth magic, he carved a small p

“It’s simple. You must burn down the entire forest using pure fire from the Fairy.” “Burn the entire forest?” It was an easy task, but… “Why?” “Mmm! That’s part of the condition. You don’t need to ask why.” The old man clicked his tongue. “Do you accept or not?” Even though the request was suspicious, Alkan agreed. After all, it wasn’t his home that would be destroyed. However, if the old man intended to burn the forest to break free from a restriction, that was a different matter. He shrugged. The necromancer wasn’t his enemy, so perhaps it was fine to release him from his constraints. It didn’t matter. Because of the ancient agreement, he knew the necromancer wouldn’t cross the line. According to the treaty, if a necromancer killed an innocent being in Tribal lands, they would be struck by twenty bolts of lightning. “I accept,” he said, narrowing his eyes at the necromancer. “First question—were you the one who created the magical land in the southern forest?” Alkan recalled t
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 47: Perfect Replication
Alkan's expression was unreadable as he stared at the skeleton kneeling before him. The corner of his lips twitched, and he looked away. A scene flashed in his mind—an expanse of land teeming with crawling skeletons. But wait, as far as he knew, he had never encountered such an event before. And now, recalling his accusations against the old man about a place filled with crawling skeletons... why had that scene suddenly entered his mind? Just like now, as he gazed at the skeleton, certain memories surfaced. But the difference this time was that he had wings on his back, and he could see a female exorcist manipulating the wind, desperately trying to fend off the swarming skeletons. The old man narrowed his eyes. "Not bad, mortal. In just a few minutes, you managed to summon a skeleton." Alkan clenched his fist. "What else can this power do?" "Don’t you know?" the old man asked with a sly smile. "Everything I can do, you can now do as well." "What?" "So never, ever let another f
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 48: Into the black palace
Alkan’s expression darkened. If the anito had gone to the trouble of reaching out to him—a mere mortal—there was only one possible meaning. His situation was far more complicated than he had initially thought."What message does the ancient spirit bring?" he asked. Ancient spirit or anito is a god in this dimension.The priest stared at him for a moment before sighing. "Two things are needed to unlock the two hidden powers. First, sacrifice. Second, flesh and blood of the origin."He waited, but the priest said nothing more. His brows furrowed. "That's it?""Yes."His eyes narrowed. He didn't understand what the priest meant, but he stored the information in his mind. Maybe in the future, he would figure it out.The priest suddenly cleared his throat. "The female exorcist has a message for you."Alkan froze at the words and stared at the priest. A female exorcist? That woman still remembered him?"You need to rescue Valeria as soon as possible, before it's too late.""What do you mea
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 49: Caged woman
He heard footsteps. Approaching the room. He spread his awareness and realized that a woman was walking toward it. His lips pressed into a thin line. It seemed the female exorcist was coming. He didn’t bother to hide. Crossing his arms, he waited until the woman finally entered. Her brows were furrowed, and her lips were tightly pressed together. She cursed under her breath. Alkan raised an eyebrow. "It looks like you're having a bad day, female exorcist?" he said as he dismissed the purple flames surrounding his body. The woman froze and turned to him. She was silent for a few moments. He cleared his throat. "Is there a problem?" he asked. She averted her gaze and crossed her arms. "I didn't expect you to end up in my room, mortal. And where did you get that power? How did you enter the palace when there are so many sawikin outside?" "Why don’t you ask your priest acquaintance?" The woman’s eyes widened. A moment later, the corner of her lips curved. Alkan chuckled. Before th
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 50: Fleeing from the black palace
Violet flames engulfed him swiftly as he stepped onto the terrace. The female exorcist remained silent, having also heard the approaching footsteps. Moments later, the footsteps halted just outside the room.Alkan held his breath.The sorcerer was inside, yet he couldn’t gauge the true extent of the man’s power. That only meant one thing—the sorcerer was stronger than him."The ritual will take place tonight. Prepare yourself, for you are one of the keys to its completion," a deep voice declared.Alkan’s eyes narrowed. He recognized that voice—it belonged to the Prince of the Black Sawikin."Is that why you bound me to you? To complete the ritual?" the female exorcist asked.A faint rustling followed, accompanied by hushed whispers. The prince's words were unclear, and Alkan couldn’t make out what was said. He pressed his lips into a thin line."I suppose I have no choice but to obey, do I?" The woman let out a dry laugh

His stomach ached, and his throat was dry. He winced when he tried to swallow. Only then did he open his eyes, squinting as the blue sky greeted him."Ugh..."He tried to sit up, but his arms were too weak. Alkan frowned even more. Where was he? What was this place?He opened his palm and released Puro and Dilim. He sighed in relief before dismissing them. He thought he had lost his power.Closing his eyes, he allowed Puro to heal his body while extending his awareness throughout his surroundings.He was in a forest. Sensing his surroundings, he deduced that he was in the north of Tribal. He quickly opened his eyes and sat up. Now that Puro had finished healing him, he no longer felt any pain."The North," he muttered. A moment later, his brows furrowed again as he realized something. "Huh? My voice?"Why did he sound like a woman?"Andara! Andara! Where are you?"Alkan flinched at the shout. He looked toward the forest and saw a woman with pointed ears, two wings on her back, and a w

Alkan cursed under his breath. She had thrown his own words back at him. What a cunning woman! He gritted his teeth in frustration. "You have my word," he muttered, looking away. Andara smiled sweetly. "Good. Then you’ll remain tied up until we reach the island of the bakunawa." She walked away. Only when she was out of sight did the corner of Alkan’s lips curl upward. Andara believed he had lost his power when he entered her body. But what she didn’t know was that Puro and Dilim were still with him. However, he couldn’t feel her power, which meant he couldn’t use it. Perhaps Andara's magic had followed her soul, but because his body was different from the beings of this world, she couldn't sense her power. If he were to compare soul strength, his was far stronger than any creature in this world. Maybe it was because his original soul was sawikin, or perhaps he had received a blessing from an ancient anito. He wasn’t sure. Days and nights passed as Alkan remained at th

Chapter 109: The third region
Before the sun had fully risen, Alkan’s group was already traveling toward the third region, where the council resided. He believed he was strong enough to defeat Arelano. He planned to deal with him first so he could finally put an end to their conflict as Menandro. He also thought that now that he was in the dimension of gods and goddesses, defeating the black sawikin would be much easier. "Master, may I hunt for some food first?" Asha pleaded while looking down below. They were currently flying through the air on the back of a swift bird monster. Alkan glanced downward and saw an abundance of animals and fruits. They landed on the ground, but to his surprise, the animals suddenly vanished. Even the fruits disappeared like bubbles in the air. His eyes narrowed—an illusion. "Show yourself!" he commanded the being responsible for the illusion. "Hehehe. I
Chapter 108: New companion
Alkan exhaled. Finally, the battle was over. Drako had been right. The lions used two combined energies—water and fire, air and earth—to create powerful magic. Together, they were unstoppable. But once separated, their weaknesses were exposed. "Do I get a reward, Master?" Drako asked. Alkan looked at the dragon and laughed. He raised his hand, and a fruit from Tribal appeared. Just last night, he had discovered that the dragon loved fruits from Tribal, claiming it was tired of the ones from this dimension. The dragon also knew by now that Alkan was from another dimension. That was part of the ancient king’s decree—that if a being from another dimension ever arrived in the wasteland, that being was destined to obtain the treasures of the tomb. Together, they entered the second region. Alkan was amazed by the energy surrounding him. It was different from the pure energy of the spiritual

"Do you know what your wish truly means?" the woman asked, smiling as she looked at him. Alkan pressed his lips together. "According to the agreement, you must grant all wishes. You wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?" The woman laughed. "You really are an interesting being. But becoming the king of this land filled with criminals? What are you thinking? Do you not wish to leave this place?" The corner of Alkan’s lips curled. "Will you grant my wish or not?" The woman turned away and wrote something in the air. Moments later, the inside of the circle glowed, and in an instant, Alkan felt an unusual coldness enter his body. "You are now the owner of the wasteland, its king, and all the creatures within this place will become your followers. I hope you won’t regret your wish," the woman said, raising her palm toward him. He suddenly felt something push hi
Chapter 106: King of the wasteland
In all his years overseeing the tournament, this was the first time two factions refused to fight. An entire night passed. The sun was moments away from rising in the East—the official end of the battle—yet still, no fighting had taken place. Just as the announcer was about to speak— One by one, members of the first faction collapsed. Silence fell over the battlefield. The sun rose—and only the third faction remained standing. The announcer blinked in shock. What just happened? "Outrageous! What did you do to the first faction?!" a fighter from the second faction demanded. The third faction leader shrugged. "We won, didn’t we?" he said, turning to the announcer. The poor announcer gulped and glanced up at the black circle.<
Chapter 105: The realm of gods
A vast, frozen land greeted Alkan as he stepped through the portal. The sudden shift in temperature caused blood to trickle from his nose. He quickly wiped it away and surrounded his body with flames before scanning his surroundings. He extended his consciousness, sensing no living being within a thousand kilometers of his position. But the moment he attempted to reach beyond two thousand kilometers, something forcefully crushed his awareness. "Urgh!" He coughed up blood and immediately withdrew his consciousness. Who could suppress his mind so easily? Standing upright, he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. Now that he had arrived in the land of gods and goddesses, he was bound to encounter beings he had never seen before. He needed to be cautious—he had no idea how strong they were. But what puzzled him was his exact location.
Chapter 104: The United Tribal
Not only were the black sawikin sacrificed for Arelano's resurrection, but also the princess of the witches. Driven by his desire for more power, Surikong agreed to offer his own daughter—along with Ambong—as part of the ritual. However, after Arelano’s revival, Surikong was left in regret. He had given everything, yet it was not enough to satisfy Arelano’s thirst for power. After the fall of the black palace, Surikong went into hiding for several months. When the white palace collapsed, he began planning his conquest of the South, carefully studying the manananggal and vampire tribes. For nearly five years, the South was plagued by chaos and conflict between its two dominant factions. Yet, none knew that Surikong was the mastermind behind it all. He sought to pit the two races against each other, weakening them and reducing the number of powerful factions in the South. Now that he had gained Celya’s
Chapter 103: In the fangs of death
A village burned in the heart of the forest, and creatures from small tribes fled in terror. Many of the larger tribes were hunting down those of mixed blood, slaughtering innocents—including children and the elderly. Alkan halted in midair, hovering above the chaos. Since the two sawikin palaces were gone, he no longer bothered to conceal his presence behind black mist. As a result, the creatures below saw and noticed him immediately. "Look! A black sawikin!" Nearly every creature below turned their gaze upward. Many gasped, while others widened their eyes in shock. "Aren't the black sawikin supposed to be extinct? Why is there one floating in the sky?" "I have no idea! But why is he up there? Doesn't he know about the great tikbalang tribe? They won’t stop until they've plucked the wings off that black sawikin!" "Hurry! Inform the tikbalang chief! We'll be
Chapter 102: Changes in Tribal
The female exorcist decided to stay and live in the tribe of the immortals. The tribe leader readily agreed, so Alkan peacefully bid farewell to her. "Will you follow what is destined for you?" the woman asked, gazing at the star-filled sky. "You know what you are getting yourself into, Alkan." A small smile appeared on his lips. "There is still unfinished conflict between me, the council, and Arelano." The woman looked at him before raising her palm. A small light formed there—a glowing orb that flew towards him and embedded itself in his forehead. Suddenly, he felt an unfamiliar power surge through his entire body, strengthening his mind. Alkan furrowed his brows. "Exorcist power?" "I have given you half of my power. Now that there are no longer major factions in the Tribal lands, we can finally live in peace. Use the power I have granted you. May it guide you and keep you safe
Chapter 101: The fall of the white palace
Manuel laughed mockingly. "The prophecy is over. The black palace has fallen!" He clicked his tongue while looking at Alkan. "Even though you contributed nothing to its fall, I will not pursue you. Go, and never show yourself to me again, Alkan. Now that the portal to the mortal world is closed, I have no way to send you back where you came from." "Nothing to contribute?" Alkan opened his palm, revealing a silver flame. "Have you seen this fire before?" Gasps filled the room, but Alkan kept his attention on Manuel’s changing expression. "Isn't that the fire that consumed the black palace?" "Yes! The fire that cannot be extinguished!" "But how does a mortal possess the enchanted flame?" A smirk appeared on Alkan’s lips. "I am its owner," he said before hurling the small silver flame onto the floor.
