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

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

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.

He took a deep breath and nodded. Kneeling beside Valeria, he gently brushed his fingers against her cheek. She remained unconscious, showing no signs of waking anytime soon. From the corner of his eye, he saw the female exorcist slowly open her eyes. He turned to her and spoke. "How are you feeling?" She scanned her surroundings before looking at him, then lowered her gaze to her swollen belly. "The prince’s child is still here," she whispered. Alkan followed her gaze. "Do you want me to…" "No." The exorcist shook her head and sighed. She lifted her head and glanced around. "Where are we in Tribal?" "Near the North, in the middle of a vast forest." The exorcist stood and took a deep breath. Her gaze fell on Valeria. "The mortal…" Her eyes narrowed. "Why does Valeria look so pale?" "A curse has awakened in her soul," Alkan replied, his expression dark. "The only way to break it i

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
Chapter 88: The fourth power (1)
"What’s the news?" he asked Anino, who had returned after hours of monitoring the Black Palace and the witches' tribe. "Yesterday, the transformation of the mortal woman was completed. She no longer remembers her past, and the king took advantage of her lost memories to convince Valeria that she is a Black Sawikin." Alkan’s eyes narrowed. "What about the witches' tribe?" "Nothing suspicious happened, except for their plan to attack the tribe tomorrow night." Anino cleared his throat. "The higher-ups of the Black Palace have sensed your power. They now know that the strong force comes from the southernmost part of the land." Alkan nodded and turned toward the tribe, where everyone was busy with their tasks. The sun had already risen in the east, and he had left the cave without informing anyone. Even Yuli, who had placed the restriction at the cave’s entrance, h
Chapter 87: Loyal servant
Meanwhile, countless memories continued to flood Alkan's mind. After a few more minutes, he vomited blood, and his eyes turned white. Only then did the pain in his head subside, and the mask’s glow gradually faded. The memories had stopped entering his mind, yet he felt that this was not the end. “Hah… haaa…” He gasped as he opened his eyes. Surrounding him were diamond and silver flames, illuminating the space. He quickly removed the mask from his face and examined it. “Diamond,” he called. “Master.” Alkan swallowed hard. “Explain what’s happening.” There was a brief silence before Diamond spoke. “This is not your third life, Master. When the dimension of Tribal was created, powerful beings were the first to inhabit this land. They were called Anito—beings capable of creating and ending things. They lived in Tribal for many years. During that time, gods and goddesses frequently
