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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Despite his confusion, Alkan remained focused on his goal. He looked down at the barrier at the valley’s entrance. In one swift motion, he hurled the silver fire at the barrier. A deafening explosion followed, throwing him back again, but he quickly commanded the wind to catch him midair. He exhaled in relief when he saw he was still floating. Looking down, he watched as the silver fire slowly consumed the barrier at the valley’s entrance. A grin spread across Alkan’s lips. He raised his hand and chanted an incantation. A hundred powerful bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the valley’s entrance. Eventually, the barrier shattered, and the storm of lightning ceased. Then, with another incantation, he directed the lightning deep into the dark valley. Two more bolts struck before a deep, guttural roar echoed from within. Alkan inhaled sharply. It seemed the lightning had hit the bakunawa. He quickly flew away from the valley, waiting for the beast to emerge.

    In a secluded tribe where immortals resided, a female exorcist silently gazed at the sky. The sun was setting, and the cool breeze brushed against her cheek. The tribe leader approached and stood beside her. "An unknown entity attacked the black palace. A fire that could not be extinguished consumed the palace that had stood in Tribal for millennia," he said. The female exorcist took a few seconds before nodding. A faint smile formed on her lips. "What news is there about him?" she asked the leader. "No one knows where the mortal is, but he was spotted at the black palace." Her eyes narrowed, yet the small smile remained. She recalled Alkan’s promise—to bring down both the black and white palaces. Now that he had ended the rule of the black sawikin, she knew the white palace would be next. She could hardly wait. She wanted to witness the fall of the kingdom that had destroyed her tribe. Meanwhi

    The diamond was silent for a few moments before responding, "I am not the right being to answer that question, Master." Alkan's eyes narrowed. He could feel the black force weakening, but he knew it had not disappeared completely. It could resurface at any moment and influence his mind again. He flew toward the black palace. Even from a distance, he could see the black sawikin in chaos. Most likely, it was because Arelano was no longer in Tribal. A faint smirk formed on Alkan’s lips as he landed before the massive gate. He waved his hand, dispelling the illusion around his body. "Who are you?!" a guard demanded. Alkan ignored him and strode into the hall. The other guards merely watched him. Though they wanted to stop him, there was something about Alkan’s aura—like a king walking through his own palace. He stopped before a grand door. It opened, revealing th

    The young woman stepped down from the carriage and looked up at the sawikin who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. When their eyes met, she gasped and lowered her gaze. "How may I serve you?" she asked. Alkan stood up and spread the pair of black wings on his back. He took to the sky, followed by the ancient king, who neither responded to nor glanced at the young woman. "Who are you?" Alkan asked when he stopped flying and turned to face the black sawikin trailing behind him. The sawikin also hovered in the air, studying him from head to toe as if analyzing something intriguing. Alkan frowned. He did not like the way the sawikin was observing him. Moreover, the manananggal woman was still looking up at them. "You’re the mortal under the care of the white palace?" the sawikin asked in return. Alkan’s lips pressed into a thin line. Though he couldn’t see it, he could feel the sa

    Alkan glanced to the side, where Matilda occasionally peeked at him. He saw in her eyes the desire to approach, but she lacked the courage to face him. He sighed and turned to Yuli. "Don't think about it anymore. I need to return outside." Yuli nodded and simply watched as he flew out of the barrier he had created for the tribe. Cloaked in illusion, Alkan scanned the tribes he passed by. He noticed that everyone's energy was vibrant. He stopped mid-flight and furrowed his brows at what he saw. What was happening? He followed a carriage carrying a young manananggal woman. He saw a group heading toward the black palace. They came from a lush forest full of mysterious creatures. "I heard the ancient king has yet to choose a maiden he fancies," one of the woman's companions remarked. Alkan landed silently atop the carriage and stood there. The vehicle moved slowly, but it was enough to awaken the sleeping powers. He sat down an

    That was one of the orders given to Surikong by the Council. He had received a message last week about the being from the prophecy. So, he went to the dimension without the fairies’ knowledge and waited for Alkan’s arrival. The mortal did not disappoint him. The king accepted the drop of blood and stepped toward the center, where a large glowing symbol was etched into the ground. The markings on the light pulsed with power. He let the blood drip into the middle of the glowing circle, allowing the two black feathers to fall in as well. He chanted an incantation, and in an instant, black smoke engulfed the surroundings. "W-What’s happening?" a witch asked as they felt their strength draining. The witches surrounding the ritual collapsed to their knees, except for Surikong. Meanwhile, the king smirked and guided Valeria toward the glowing light. "Your Majesty," Valeria whispered worriedly as she, too, felt her energy fading.

  • Chapter 94: Surikong returns

    The destruction of the First Dimension, where the fairies resided, became the talk of Tribal. Fear spread as rumors circulated that the end of Tribal had come and that the Anito would judge all beings in the land. In the South, where the witches were holding their annual ritual, a bright light slashed across the ground. In an instant, a figure with pointed ears appeared, carrying a sleeping young girl—a fairy. The witches on guard quickly surrounded the stranger. "Who are you?" the leader of the group demanded. The clairvoyant scanned the area, sensing an eerie black energy radiating from the witches. She swallowed hard. As someone of high status in the Fairy Kingdom, she had grown up under the palace’s protection. This was the first time she had faced witches—beings her fellow fairies had long described as evil creatures that lived in the South. So, the queen's power had sent her to this place. They had barely escaped the

    "Why were the fairies so easily driven out of the dimension?" Gio asked in confusion as he watched the fairies evacuate to Tribal. The ordinary fairies were the first to flee, while the nobles and the queen remained in the palace. The corner of Alkan’s lips curled. "The strongest fairies are still inside the palace. What do you think that means?" Gio glanced at the palace. "The fairies are planning something." "Exactly. The queen is currently waiting for a prophecy from the clairvoyant," Alkan said, raising his hand. Blue flames mixed with wind emerged from his palm. "But my patience is running thin!" He hurled the flames at the palace. Slowly, the blue fire spread, engulfing the structure. The palace servants screamed, and the fleeing fairies stopped in their tracks, turning back to see the burning palace. "Is this the end for us?" one fairy asked, trembling as they stared at the palace. "Hurr

    Hot. It felt like he was inside an erupting volcano. His throat was parched. His blood felt like it was boiling, and his skin was burning. Water. He needed water! Suddenly, a cold sensation flowed through his chest. He let out a relieved breath. A few seconds later, a force tried to take over his being. Alkan furrowed his brows, resisting it. He knew that if he allowed this force to consume him, his existence in the world would be erased. "Mortal, let me enter your body. You cannot fight the Council. I will battle them for you," a voice whispered. Alkan froze. "Who are you?" he asked. "You and I are one. I am the Ancient Anito named Argus." He was silent for a moment. Then, he scoffed. "Why would you possess my body if we are one? This is my body, so don’t even try!" "But the Council is strong. You cannot defeat them." "Whether I can or not is none of your concern. This is my bod

    In truth, he had another reason for seeking the prisoners. When he saw Gio’s concern, he abandoned his original plan of using the Sawikin prince’s body. Instead, he sought another White Sawikin. Even if they were not pure like Gio, their essence would be enough to awaken his fourth power. He felt the surge of that fourth force within him as the flames devoured the bodies. Sweat formed on his forehead. The fire soon faded, and Alkan noticed the approaching White Army. He recalled his flames and pulled Gio away from the White Palace. The Sawikin remained in shock, but Alkan ignored him. He swiftly arrived at the Necromancer’s forest in the center of Tribal. Landing, he strode toward the towering balete tree. The area was restricted—no one could enter or leave without his knowledge. Summoning Pilak, he ordered her to watch over Gio, who remaine
