"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.

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

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
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 72: The dimension of powers
Suddenly, Alkan felt a sharp pain in his back. His brows furrowed. What was happening to him? He also felt his body temperature rising gradually. “Mortal, surrender your power to me,” the king said, his brows knitting together. His patience was wearing thin. Alkan scoffed. “And why would I give you my power?” he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He had suffered through countless hardships just to obtain his power. He would be a fool to hand it over so easily. The king’s expression darkened further. He didn’t like Alkan’s defiant response. Raising his hand, he summoned several shadows from behind him. The shadows surrounded Alkan. Alkan’s expression hardened as he released his silver flames. His chest still ached due to the sudden removal of the restriction on his third power. He needed to find a safe place to control the raging force inside him. He glan
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 73: Unbreakable curse
After a few minutes, Alkan slowly descended. He opened his eyes. The whites of his eyes had turned black, and a strange smile played on his lips. In a blink, his expression and eye color returned to normal. The diamond noticed but didn’t question it—she simply smiled at him. “Master, you have successfully obtained the third power. Now, you can fully manifest your black wings.” “Black wings?” he repeated in confusion, glancing over his shoulder. He saw nothing there. The diamond chuckled. “Why don’t you step out of your consciousness first, Master?” she suggested. Alkan withdrew his awareness from within, and as soon as he did, a sharp pain seared through his back. He had felt some discomfort earlier, but he hadn’t expected it to be this painful once he was back in his physical body. He clenched his jaw and turned to look behind him. There, he saw the black wings. He stood up straight, a grin curving his lips.

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
Chapter 95: Ancient king of the black Palace (1)
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
Chapter 93: The end of two dimensions
"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
Chapter 91: Unrecognizable (2)
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
Chapter 90: Unrecognizable (1)
The massive gates of the White Palace were closed, but that was no obstacle for Alkan. He flew through an open terrace and stepped inside the palace. The illusion surrounding his body remained intact, keeping him hidden from the White Sawikin he passed by. Just as he remembered, the palace still shimmered with grand diamonds at every corner. Magic lights illuminated the surroundings, a stark contrast to the tribe, where fireflies were the only source of light. He encountered nymphs and other beings he had never seen before in the White Palace. It seemed that new tribes had pledged their allegiance to the palace. He made his way to Gio’s chamber. There were no guards outside, and he sensed no movement inside when he extended his awareness into the room. He stood by the door and knocked. A few minutes later, the Sawikin inside stirred from sle
Chapter 89: The fourth power (2)
Alkan knew there was nothing the healer could do. Whoever had given Matilda the poison wouldn’t have done so if an easy cure existed. The attack had been planned for this very night—meant to weaken the tribe just before the invasion. But what they hadn’t expected was his ability to deceive the incoming army. He raised his hand, summoning silver flames that enveloped the chief. The tribe watched as the chief vomited black blood, which the silver flames incinerated. Soon, nothing more came from the chief’s mouth, and the silver flames returned to Alkan’s palm. The healer sighed in relief. "Thank you, Ancient Anito!" Praises for him echoed throughout the village. Alkan smirked slightly before turning to Yuli, who stood frozen, staring at the unconscious chief. "Standing idle will accomplish nothing. The one who poisoned the chief is
