"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
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 66: Dragon, crystal, and the goddess of life (1)
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.
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 67: Dragon, crystal, and the goddess of life (2)
Alkan took a deep breath and looked at the dragon below. "In that case, hold the dragon off," he said before flying toward the volcano’s entrance. At that moment, the only power Alkan could rely on was half of Anino’s total strength. Pilak had already lost his abilities, so he couldn’t use her silver flames. He leaped into the mouth of the volcano and fell into darkness for several minutes. Since the shadows had absorbed the magma’s heat, the inside of the volcano was cold. He felt the chilling cold seep into his bones. He furrowed his brows and endured the shivering of his body. He had no idea how long he had been falling in the darkness, but eventually, he reached the bottom of the volcano. He sighed in relief and conjured black flames. Unlike Pilak’s silver flames, they did not radiate warmth, but the faint heat they provided was enough to keep him from freezing inside the volcano. He scanned his surroundings and noticed
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 68: What happened to female exorcist (1)
A radiant light enveloped him. Alkan closed his eyes, feeling the weight of the goddess’s actions pressing heavily on him. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the blue sky. He could hear a few birds chirping, and a gentle breeze occasionally blew in his direction. He took a deep breath and sat up. He massaged his temples and then opened his palms. Silver and black flames emerged, each the size of a ping-pong ball. His heart ached as he looked up. He didn’t know exactly where he was in Tribal, but he was sure—he had returned to the real world. He stood up and spread his awareness around. There were no creatures watching him. He exhaled before cloaking himself in an illusion and soaring into the sky. His eyes narrowed as he scanned the land below. He was in the West. A few kilometers from where he stood earlier, there was a tribe. The sun was setting in the west, and in just a few hours, the full moon would rise. He needed
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 69: What happened to female exorcist (2)
The woman stopped in front of him and stared. “What do you mean, what? Utir is in the hall! Hurry up, or Resa will get to him first!” Alkan could no longer speak as the woman pulled him away. In the grand hall, he saw the elaborate design and various types of creatures—vampires, werewolves, manananggal, witches, shadows, and other terrifying beings from folklore. He nearly froze in place, if not for the sawikin woman beside him, who kept mentioning the name Utir. Alkan took a deep breath and looked around. He now understood why the creatures under the black palace had gathered. The sacrifice was happening at midnight, though he still didn’t know its purpose. He turned to the woman beside him and cleared his throat. "Ah, what is the gathering for?" he asked. The woman looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "There will be a sacrifice at midnight." She playfully tapped his forehead. "Did you oversleep and forget about the gather
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 70: Fight
He stepped out of the room after sealing the sleeping female exorcist inside the purple flame. The guards were still stationed outside the door. Silently, he walked past them and headed toward the forbidden chamber. He spread his awareness but quickly retracted it upon sensing the familiar breath of the sorcerer. He swiftly hid behind a wall. Even if others couldn’t see him, his illusion couldn’t conceal his presence from the sorcerer’s eyes. “The pure blood of the female exorcist will serve as the ancient king’s guide to awakening, Your Highness,” the sorcerer’s voice echoed as he neared Alkan’s hiding spot. “This is the king’s decree, and you cannot defy it.” “There are many exorcists in the North. Why must the princess be sacrificed?” the prince’s voice responded. “But mere hours before midnight, your heir will be born. What are you so afraid of, Your Highness?” A silence followed before the prince spoke a
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 71: The prince who got devoured
Alkan slowly stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. He looked at the prince of the black sawikin. Behind him, fifty shadows followed closely as the prince took slow steps toward him. "Ah." The prince clicked his tongue. "I didn’t expect you to still be standing, mortal." Alkan spat out blood and then charged toward the prince. He strengthened the green flames on his sword and slashed it in the prince’s direction. But before his strike could land, the prince vanished from his spot. The next thing Alkan knew, he was sent flying again as the black prince appeared behind him and slashed at him with his claws. Alkan’s brows knitted together as he felt the sting in his body. Why? Why couldn’t he defeat the prince? His frustration grew. He couldn’t accept that the strength he had gained from the other world was being mocked by the prince, who smirked maliciously in front of him. Alkan clenched his fists and s

Chapter 112: War in the first region
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.
Chapter 110: Seeing his wife again
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
Chapter 107: A region full of monsters
"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
