"I have to leave here as soon as possible..." Nadena's hand was already holding the books she needed, hiding them behind the cloth of her special enchanted clothing.Transforming back into smoke form, she then exited the room. Her eyes scanned every area of the palace, finding no signs of anything unusual, only the substitute bodies continuing to walk aimlessly."Good, no one suspects anything..."Nadena quickly stopped the substitute body, entering through its ears, mouth, and nose. Now, she had seamlessly merged with that body."Huh... I didn't expect tonight to be so troublesome..."Not yet over, Nadena couldn't breathe a sigh of relief; first, she had to reach where Han was.She tried to remain calm, deliberately slowing her steps to clear her mind.The information from the books she obtained was very itching to read; she didn't want to waste more time here. However, it was too risky. If she left without Han's knowledge, it would cause significant problems.Krkk...The door creake
"It's impossible, how could the book be missing here?"That book contained the knowledge needed to plan everything, but now the shelf only held an empty space."Darn it..."Heiran spread his sensor energy throughout the palace area, even extending it to identify anyone who might have recently been in the palace.One vision detected a strange object darting away, resembling a fleeting wind, so faint that it could be mistaken for a normal object. However, here he felt the smoke was too suspicious, accompanied by a thin flow of energy."So, this is evidence of an intruder who has entered this location..."Heiran's body surged with immense energy, shaking the ground in the palace. The aides present in the field became confused by this incident."Is this an earthquake?" one of the aides asked."No, this isn't an earthquake..." Han gazed towards the palace tower, where this flow originated, a sight very familiar to him."I will make anyone who dares to steal from me face death..." Heiran gr
After being sealed by Nadena, Heiran was temporarily unable to act.The seal used was not of a high level; it was merely a seal to paralyze movement, but its existence was still better than seals meant for long-term confinement."Lord Heiran..."The voice made Heiran glance to his right side, sensing that someone was present there."Is that you, Han?""Yes, it's me! But, we're all here; we heard an explosion earlier and hurried to this location...""I see. I've been trapped by someone. This magic isn't so strong, and I'll be able to release it in an hour, but I need you to destroy this seal quickly...""Leave it to me..." One of his aides, a narrow-eyed woman with long black hair, began emitting blue magical energy. Slowly, the magic illuminated the coiled chains. "Destroy..."Slowly, the sound of clinking chains grew louder until...Clang...Everything shattered into small, useless pieces. Heiran who was inside, didn't suffer much. He was still able to stand tall and observe his aide
"I absolutely have no idea, but why does something like this have to be such a crucial problem?" Nadena wondered in her heart, considering what the person in front of her was saying to be too exaggerated.However, on the other hand, she felt useless and foolish because she didn't know about something like this.The woman in front of her began to move away from there; waiting for Nadena, who remained silent, wouldn’t bring any joy.She picked up a few items again and placed them on the table, then identified the contents of those objects.Nadena never imagined she would meet a human with such habits. Those who came from the elf race were more likely to use magic more often than any other race.However, she had never thought nature could be used for something like this. There were indeed some indications nature could be utilized. However, it felt like it would destroy the environment, so attempting to create medicine or other useful things was rarely done.Apart from checking, she didn'
"My name is Larien, a human who has a hobby that is a bit strange to most people! Since I was young, my love for nature has grown, and I feel much more comfortable being with nature than interacting with other humans! Here, I feel more at ease and capable of learning new things! After engaging in this activity for quite some time, I suddenly met a strange incident today; a woman from the elf race fainted in the middle of the secluded forest! I thought she would perceive me as an enemy...""Cough... Cough..."The commotion interrupted Larien's concentration, prompting her to turn towards Nadena's room door. Hurriedly, she knocked on the door several times."Miss, are you alright?"She called Nadena several times, but there was no response. Taking a rather extreme initiative, she promptly opened the door.She found Nadena's face pale, her neck bound by a special energy that seemed to strangle her."This is bad, I can't breathe, please save me..." Nadena shouted, impossible for her to do
After being together for so long, this was the moment Nadena decided to leave.The two were enjoying a meal made from various spices and vegetables. Even though they ate like this every day, it still tasted incredibly delicious."So, today you're going to continue your journey!" Larien started the conversation with a melancholic tone.Nadena's eyes, which were focused on the food, suddenly shifted to Larien's face.For her, this was also a very difficult moment, unlike her comrades while subordinate to Heiran. There, she usually only competed and proved who was the best, sometimes even resorting to actions to eliminate comrades who served the same master.Heiran often held various competitions, requiring all its subordinates to duel to prove who was the strongest.Even though it was short, she felt the warmth of a friend. Larien had the ability to regard Nadena as a valuable friend.Setting down the bowl of food she held, she then looked at Larien with a sad expression."I understand
"Do you not need rest? You've been reading that book since this afternoon..." Nadena remarked, trying to be friendly."No, I'm not sleepy! I can stay like this until morning..." Azazel's response sounded strange, it was clear that a human needed sleep to maintain body stability.However, he wouldn't be able to explain that, and finally, Nadena chose to let Azazel immerse himself in the book.Within the book, there were many things Azazel could learn; all the incidents he was experiencing were exactly the same as those within the book. It was as if he had seen a reflection of his complicated life."Those living within this book must have experienced various unique things..."However, Azazel noticed a striking difference; the person who authored the book seemed to execute the duties of a death angel perfectly. Every task of reaping lives, judging the sinful, and delivering punishment to various creatures was carried out perfectly.Unlike Azazel, who didn't care much about all this, he a
"This book is quite difficult for me to understand, but if you don't mind explaining this, I don't mind..."She began to feel guilty towards Azazel, who wore a sullen face, not so much towards a blank stare that seemed so melancholic."Alright, I will read out the information about this book!"The book was then read very carefully, but the language used is similar to reciting certain spells. If not translated correctly, it would surely be mistaken for magic.This book holds significance in a story that refers to a character named Ogaro. Once, this world was inhabited by many brutal and wild monsters that fought among themselves to determine the strongest and most powerful.However, Ogaro as the highest figure, disliked this conflict and finally punished various creatures in this world.He merged them with a great power imbued with elements of light; one strike caused many creatures to perish.The world then became peaceful. There were no more massively powerful creatures disrupting th
