The group took Alkan out of the forest while he remained silent inside the net. His muscles were weak, as if the strength he had felt after consuming the crystals had been nothing more than a cruel joke.

"Master, this is only a weak enchantment. Don’t worry. Once you get out of the net, your strength will return," Pilak reassured him through his mind.

He sat up straight and absentmindedly rubbed his temple. "You startled me," he muttered.

Pilak fell silent. He exhaled, glancing around at his surroundings. "There are many knights and mages in this group. Can you take them all down?" he asked in his mind.

"Yes, Master. It would be easy to kill them all," Anino replied.

The corner of Alkan’s lips twitched. "I didn’t say kill them—just put them to sleep for a while," he said before sighing. The group hadn’t done anything wrong to him, so he had no intention of making things difficult for them.

Before long, they arrived at the first town on the border between the North and the

    The man exhaled. "We were searching for crystals. But we didn’t expect that someone had already harvested them before us. We tried to track the being responsible, but it was as if they had vanished." He shook his head. "However, Kalbanal used the search as an excuse to carry out his plan to replace me. They abandoned me in the forest, hoping I’d be killed by the roaming monsters. "I did everything I could to escape, but just as I was about to leave the forest, I was spotted by the bear. If I hadn’t been alert, I would’ve ended up as its meal. Thank you, my friend, for saving me from that beast." Alkan narrowed his eyes. So that was why he had sensed something strange about the knight leader earlier. That wasn’t the real leader. He inhaled deeply and looked at Reto again. "I have a mission to complete, and I need your help," he said. Reto straightened up, meeting his gaze. "I will help you accomplish your mission—if you help me return to the palace before the impostor does."

    Her eyes widened in shock, and she leaped from Anino’s arms, running away from him. Anino sighed and lifted his hand. Shadows emerged from his palm, capturing the defenseless Esmeralda. "Ah! No! Let me go!" she screamed. Alkan’s lips twitched when he saw the shadow lift Esmeralda off the ground. The woman floated in midair, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Anino, don’t toy with her," he said, his voice disinterested. Anino scoffed but obeyed, lowering Esmeralda back down. She frantically looked around, and the moment she saw Reto, more tears welled in her eyes. She immediately knelt. "Leader, forgive me! I don’t know how the prisoner escaped! I swear I don’t know! Please forgive me, Leader! I don’t want to lose my title as a mage!" Silence filled the air. Both Pilak and Anino glanced at Alkan, while Reto furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?" Reto asked Esmeralda. Esmeralda looked up and finally noticed Alkan sitting beside the grilled meat. For a moment, her min

    Anino obeyed immediately. After landing, Reto informed them that he would enter the palace with Esmeralda as his witness. Alkan decided to wait for them at a tavern. "Let’s go," he said to Anino and Pilak. Since the two looked far too unusual, he told them to use illusions before heading to a tavern he had spotted earlier while flying. As they entered, a woman greeted them cheerfully. "Mister! What can I get you?" Alkan was slightly surprised to see so many people inside. Almost all of them were large, burly men carrying long, heavy swords strapped to their backs. He turned back to the smiling woman. "A table. Somewhere quiet where no one will bother me," he said, returning her smile. Her grin widened, and she led the three of them to the second floor. As he walked, Alkan discreetly spread his awareness throughout the tavern. He sensed no malicious intent from the rough-looking men. "Pilak, who are these people?" he asked in his mind. Pilak answered telep

    "I need to retrieve something from the South," Alkan replied. "Don’t worry. As long as I’m with you, I will ensure your safety."The five members of Bistik exchanged glances before Asul turned back to him."Sir, the South is a territory completely claimed by a dragon. It is a land filled with mystery and dark forces. The Bistik group is ready to serve you to the best of our abilities," he said, bowing.The other four also bowed before Alkan.Alkan nodded with a smile. From what he could see, this group possessed more than just strength.They waited for Reto at the tavern.By the time the sun had fully risen in the East, commotion erupted outside.Alkan saw the woman from earlier sigh.Ah.It seemed she was tired of dealing with troublesome individuals who only came to the tavern to cause trouble."Do you recognize the man outside? Isn’t that the leader of the knights?""The king’s

    Reto sighed heavily. "Over the centuries, each king has only grown greedier for power. Now that someone is heading to the South, the king won’t miss the opportunity to claim that land." Alkan shook his head. Typical of kings throughout history. ... The sun’s rays were now level with the treetops when the group finally stopped flying. They hovered above the border between the West and the South. Ahead, Alkan could clearly see the vast desert stretching before them. "The desert is cold at night. It would be better to spend the night in the forest," he said before ordering Anino to lower everyone to the ground. They first searched for a safe place before Alkan restored the consciousness of the five Bistik members. "Ha! What is this place?" "Where are we?" "Who the hell put me to sleep?" "

    With a snap of Anino's fingers, the giant scorpion in the distance collapsed. Reto only heard the ground shake, followed by silence. "Is it over?" he asked Anino in amazement. Anino nodded. His eyes widened. "You killed the scorpion with just a snap of your fingers?" he asked for confirmation. He couldn't believe it. When his group tried to cross the vast desert, nearly half of them were slain by a giant scorpion. Yet for Anino, killing the desert scorpion was as easy as blinking. Reto gasped. Who were these people? Who was Alkan, and why did such powerful individuals follow him? But despite his confusion, Reto decided not to ask any more questions. He knew that powerful beings always carried many secrets. Soon, Alkan returned with the Bistik group, carrying fresh meat. Blood still dripped from the carcasses they had slaughtered deep in the forest. "What happened?" Alkan asked as

    Alkan shrugged. In truth, he had no intention of bringing anyone along except for Reto, but when he went to the tavern and saw the group of adventurers, he decided to include them. "I just wanted more companions for fun," he said before taking a bite of the roast. Asul grimaced and hesitated before biting into the roast. The rest of his group remained silent because, according to their rules, all decisions were up to the leader, and the members had to follow. Pilak laid out some bedding on the sand, but Asul quickly objected and turned to him. "Sir, please rest. We will stand guard around the area." Alkan smirked and waved his hand. "No need. No scorpions will come here." 'Because they’ve all been wiped out, except for the egg in my spatial ring,' he thought. But the Bistik were stubborn, so he had no choice but to let them stand guard over nothing. That nigh

    A powerful roar from the massive beast echoed across the entire Southern land. The ground rumbled, small rocks rolled away, and white smoke billowed from the caves surrounding the giant flaming mountain. Moments later, the volcano erupted, raining down blazing stones. Anino and Pilak swiftly raised their hands. A circular barrier formed, composed of a fusion of silver fire and black mist, enveloping the three of them. "Master, I can feel the dragon's powerful breath. It's nearby," Pilak said. Pilak nodded and narrowed her eyes, scanning the surroundings, but she couldn't pinpoint the dragon’s exact location. The volcano continued to spew fiery rocks, and thick white smoke filled the area. He closed his eyes and extended his consciousness. However, a powerful restriction prevented him from locating the dragon. Alkan frowned as he concentrated—only to cough up blood moments later.

    The blood had already poured from the top of his head, but the general still tried to stand and face him. "Do you even know what you're doing, fool?" "You wanted to fight, so I gave you a good one. What? Can you still go on?" The general gritted his teeth in frustration and immediately charged at him. Alkan just shook his head. Even though he was wounded, the general refused to back down. One of his subordinates finally spoke up with concern. "General, we still have a battle later tonight." "Silence!" the general shouted, continuing his attack. Alkan dodged repeatedly, occasionally slashing the general’s face. By now, the general’s entire body was covered in bruises and wounds, and his blood wouldn’t stop dripping. Alkan’s brows furrowed. He had no time for this fight, so he decided to end it. With one decisive strike, the general collapsed. He didn't kill him, but who knew if the man would still be able to f

    By the time they reached the entrance to Ashura, the sun was already high in the sky. The closer they got, the worse Alkan felt. He had a strong feeling that something terrible would happen the moment he stepped into the council’s territory. But they were already here—there was no turning back now. With firm resolve, he stepped into Ashura. What greeted him was a row of warriors. Alkan blinked in surprise. "I, the general of the First Region’s army, have been tasked with stopping the Third Region from invading the Second Region—the land of the monsters! Prepare yourselves! We will strike at nightfall!" a man on a shining white horse declared. It was no ordinary horse. Its radiant body glowed under the sunlight. "Master, it looks like a war is about to break out in Ashura," Asha murmured, glancing around. "I can't sense any snakes nearby, so I can't gather any information." Alkan’

  • Chapter 111: Fall of Arelano

    Alkan conjured a whirlwind mixed with water. Arelano narrowed his eyes and released shadows that engulfed the entire palace. But shadow manipulation was also one of Alkan’s abilities, so the darkness had no effect on him. He spread the four-colored flames from his feet, sending them across the furniture, up to the ceiling, until the entire palace was engulfed in fire. With the darkness dispelled, he saw sweat forming on Arelano’s face due to the heat. The corner of his lips curled. "Is that all you’ve got?" "Don't get ahead of yourself, mortal!" Arelano shouted, summoning two massive black wings on his back. They spread wide, creating a powerful gust of wind that extinguished the flames and once again covered the surroundings in darkness. Drako transformed into a dragon, while Asha turned into a serpent. The two worked together to defeat Arelano, while Alkan focused on casting a curse.

    Arelano paused briefly but quickly regained his composure. "Why don’t you rest first? I’ll take you to your room." Alkan raised an eyebrow and laughed. Without warning, he unleashed four flames—silver, purple, black, and red—and hurled them at Arelano. "You just arrived, and you’re already in a bad mood," Arelano chuckled, raising his hand. A barrier of shadows formed in front of him, bouncing the flames back toward Alkan. "I’m not here for pleasantries," Alkan said. "Aren’t you?" Arelano clicked his tongue and clapped his hands. The sound of heels echoed from the grand staircase. Alkan turned and saw the woman he had expected to find here. "V-Valeria…" he whispered. The once radiant, sparkling eyes had been replaced by a cold, emotionless gaze. The sweet smile on her lips was gone. What had they d

  • 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.
