"Master, use my power to destroy the dragon’s barrier," the Diamond Woman urged.
Alkan wasted no time. The green glow of his sword turned pure white. The dragon howled in agony, struggling to shake him off. His sword plunged deeper between its eyes, and he heard something shatter within. His wings flared open, emitting a crimson light. "Mortal! What are you doing?!" the prince’s voice bellowed in his mind. Sweat beaded on Alkan’s forehead from the pain, but he fought against the prince’s attempt to seize control of his consciousness. "You will not win," Alkan growled, pouring out his power. The red light from his black wings intensified, forming ancient symbols that adhered to them, making them even stronger. "No! Don’t do this!" the prince screamed inside his mind.

The Diamond Woman brought him to a secluded tribe in the southernmost part of the land, far from the Black Palace. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a forest beneath the scorching midday sun. He let out a deep sigh and closed his eyes again. "Master?" the Diamond Woman called when she saw that he remained lying on the grass. "Later," he muttered in a low voice. "I just want to rest." The Diamond Woman created a barrier to shield him from the sun. Then, she sat beside him, watching the peaceful dance of the leaves as the wind passed through them. They remained in silence for several minutes before Alkan suddenly opened his eyes, recalling something. "When will you restore Pilak and Anino to their human forms?" he asked. The Diamond Woman turned to him, lost in thought for a few seconds. "I could restore them now, Master, but some beings are approaching. It wouldn’t be safe for the two flames to tran
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 80: Curse and feast
When Alkan woke up, the sun had already set in the west. Darkness had consumed the entire surroundings, and fireflies sparkled in the night, serving as the tribe’s source of light. He saw the diamond sitting at the edge of the bed, with two beings standing near the door. “Master!” the woman greeted. Because it was dark and he had just woken up, he couldn’t clearly make out the two figures, but when he heard the woman’s voice, he recognized Pilak. He quickly sat up on the bed, glanced at the two beings, then turned to the diamond woman. “When did you restore their human forms?” he asked. “While you were asleep, Master.” He got up completely and stepped out of the room. Kulitaptap greeted him. Aside from that, Alkan could feel a pure force emanating from the center of the tribe. There was a small cave there, and when he extended his consciousness earlier, he sensed a pure power coming from within
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 81: Cursed tribe leader
The arms and legs were chained to the floor, and the body was covered in lash marks. The long hair obscured the face. The skin was as pale as paper, and the figure was emaciated. This was the state in which Alkan found the tribe’s leader. He swallowed hard. “At first, the leader was not in this condition,” Yuli said with a sigh. “But ever since the dragon appeared in the East, the monster within him has become more aggressive. Even during the day, he can no longer recognize the people around him. He only wants to consume flesh and bones, so we decided to restrain him. He is no longer in his right mind.” Alkan frowned. “Why does he have lash marks on his skin?” Yuli looked at where he was pointing and dropped his shoulders. “That’s what we don’t know. Every morning, his skin just ends up like that, but no one has been seen entering this place. The guards say they haven’t seen anyone come inside—except for a stray cat.” “A st
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 82: The stream
He secretly placed the leader in his room while Yuli fetched something to drink. Alkan looked around the room and noticed that there was nothing inside except for a large bed in the center and a small table beside it. What also caught his attention was a small statue of a man with two open wings on his back, hanging in the center of the ceiling. “Mortal, has the leader not woken up yet?” Yuli asked as he stepped inside, placing a glass of water on the small table. Behind him was Matilda, who looked worriedly at the leader lying on the bed. Alkan shook his head. “The leader won’t wake up until later.” He glanced at Yuli. “Have you found out who the traitor in the tribe is?” Yuli furrowed his brows, pressing his lips into a thin line, while Matilda let out a sigh. “No. No one can say who in the tribe has been in contact with outsiders. For the past few months, everyone has stayed within the tribe, and only the hunters have go

He found the leader awake, his eyes open. Alkan froze for a moment before stepping closer to the bed, smiling. The leader, however, glared at him. “Who are you?” the leader asked in a hoarse voice. Though his voice was weak, his gaze remained fierce. It was no surprise that he was the leader of the tribe. “I am Alkan Buena,” he said, standing at the side of the bed. “I am a mortal, and Yuli believes that I am the one foretold in the prophecy passed down by your ancestors.” The leader’s eyes widened slightly, and he parted his lips, but no words came out. Alkan looked away and glanced up at the small statue of a winged figure hanging from the ceiling. “Sense your body. What has changed?” he said. A moment later, he heard the leader gasp, so he lowered his gaze back to him. “You no longer feel the monster inside you, do you? Don’t worry. I burned it away before you regained your senses.” The leader blinked whil
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 84: The traitor (2)
Because of what he had heard, the elder decided to keep the truth about their leader's condition a secret from the tribe, telling only Yuli. They spread the lie that the prophesied mortal was about to arrive, which caused the leader’s condition to worsen. What they never expected was that their fabricated prophecy would actually come true. Now, the elder feared that if the sorcerer learned that the leader had recovered, the black army might attack before they were ready. To prevent this, he created a liquid that would make it appear as if the leader was still weak, ensuring that the traitor within the tribe remained unaware. Alkan frowned at what he had seen in the memories and waved his hand. The shadow in front of him was swept away by the wind and returned to his body. He glanced at the leader, who was still fast asleep. Tch. He raised his hand and placed a protective barrier around the bed before stepping out of the hut and wandering outside.

"H-How..." Alkan stared in shock at Matilda, who was smiling at him. He had managed to escape and outwit the three great kingdoms, even defeating a dragon from another world—so how could he be brought down by nothing more than Matilda’s knife? He clutched his bleeding chest, his brows furrowing. He heard Matilda laugh, her wide grin stretching across her face. "That blade is made from the bones of an ancient deity. There is no barrier it cannot cut through. I knew you had powers—I knew you were a being under the protection of the White Palace." Her smile widened further. "You ruined my plan, so you cannot be allowed to live." She swung the blade at him again, and he quickly stepped back. "Master," the diamond woman called out, noticing his moment of disorientation. Alkan shook his head, regaining focus, and swiftly dodged the incoming strike. He summoned his shadow to block the knife, but to hi
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 86: A dagger capable of killing a god
As Yuli opened his eyes, the rumbling of thunder echoed across the sky. The full moon quickly hid behind the dark clouds, and the once-bright night gradually lost its light. The crickets fell silent in the darkness, and the wind ceased to blow. A powerful force swept across the land of Tribal, and only the most formidable beings sensed the danger brought by its energy. Yuli's eyes snapped open, and he bolted upright. He glanced down at Matilda, who was sleeping soundly beside him. Exhaling deeply, he furrowed his brows and stepped out of the hut. He gazed up at the dark sky, which occasionally flashed with lightning so intense it almost reached the ground. He didn’t know why he felt restless. It was as if something was about to change in the land of Tribal—and that change would start with their tribe. His eyes widened when he saw the cave suddenly glow. Without hesitation, he sprinted toward the chief’s hut. Upon arrival, h

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
