Arthur wondered if he was still dreaming or if he had awakened. At that moment, a cold wind swept over him, causing Arthur to shudder. The chilling, icy voice echoed in his ears, "You've discovered something, haven't you? Indeed, if it's me, you can't be clueless."Arthur narrowed his eyebrows, slowly turning his head back, speaking in a deep voice, "I am not anyone else. I am just myself. And you, what exactly are you?"The slimy black figure emitted a chilling laughter. The figure spoke lightly, "I've already said it. Let's just wait until the day of convergence."Arthur rolled his eyes, pondering the true intentions behind the words of this dark figure. Aside from the serious tone, he calmly said, "I won't let you have that chance."The dark figure chuckled lightly, saying, "Oh, give it a try. But you must know yourself better than anyone, right? You will never lose, and I am just a part of you. Do you think I will lose?"Arthur wore an unpleasant expression but remained silent
Arthur's sword shimmered under the dark sky, and even the demonkin, upon seeing the radiant blade, couldn't help but retreat. The Moonless sword swept away all shadows.Demonkin could be considered high-level shadow creatures, and facing the hellfire, their instinctive fear ran deep. Arthur, with a cold expression, swiftly dispatched the lower-level shadow creatures. Some didn't even manage to crawl out of the abyss before being incinerated by his flames. His fire even reached the depths, causing ominous sounds to emanate as a warning.Arthur's aura spread to those around him. Asser raised his sword and loudly commanded, "Kill!" Almost immediately, the entire army rushed forward.Simultaneously, the low-level shadow creatures emerging from the abyss accelerated their pace. They surged madly, using darkness to bite and devour their opponents, creating a scene of brutality and horror.Yet, those facing them did not flinch. If they retreated, the entire demonkin race might face th
The group led by Zero and Michael returned. Asser still seemed a bit puzzled, but seeing Zero appear calm, he quickly regained his composure.He instructed his subordinates to stabilize the morale of the army before leading them back.Meanwhile, Zero and Michael flew through the air. In reality, Zero was still a bit uneasy, even wanting to turn around and look at the abyss once more. However, he knew he couldn't; stabilizing Michael was already challenging, and he couldn't afford to show any signs of panic.He thought about Arthur's orders, his gaze solemn and cold, unable to dispel the lingering worry. However, as one of Arthur's trusted subordinates, he could only choose to trust him.At this moment, Michael's low and icy voice suddenly sounded, "Alright, speak. What are the master's orders?"Michael was calmer now, but there was still lingering concern in his heart. Although he knew that Zero only wanted the best for him, he couldn't completely control his dissatisfaction.Zer
Scene in the territory of the Beastfolk is somewhat close to nature. The giant trees have long disappeared from the human territories. There are even some mushroom trees that are as tall as half a person, appearing incredibly magical. The animals in this area are also particularly large and dangerous, but ultimately, they can only become a delicacy in the mouths of powerful Beastfolk.Nicholas stepped quickly, finally stopping at a large palace above the clouds. He could only fly up. The leader of the Beastfolk is of the bird species, so the palace is high above. Unlike other tribes that allow the nurturing of leaders, the leader of the Beastfolk can be replaced at any time. As long as you are strong enough, smart enough, and can defeat the current leader, you will become the leader. However, for hundreds of thousands of years, no one has been able to defeat the current leader, and even those who tried were defeated and punished severely.Gradually, the Beastfolk spread the wo
In the vast meeting room, only the deafening scream of Nicholas remained.From today onward, his wishes will be fulfilled, as he becomes a part of the Beastfolk clan.The surrounding Beastfolk laughed heartily, considering the lives of humans as mere trash, not worthy of their concern.Turning back the clock to the day before, Arthur fell into the deep abyss.In reality, Arthur had no plan at that moment; everything seemed unintentional. He didn't even know if he could return, and he certainly didn't expect Zero to interpret his words as the "master having a plan".At that time, Arthur felt an immense gravitational force from the deep abyss calling out to him crazily.Unanswered, it sought to pull him directly down. However, how could Arthur actually descend into the deep abyss? No one could survive jumping into a chasm that hadn't even been born yet.He wanted to use his abilities to escape, but he realized that his magic seemed to be sealed once again. He sensed his mental world
"What are you, in the end?" Arthur asked in a low voice.The battle had been ongoing for over thirty minutes. Neither side yielded, and neither was significantly weaker than the other; it was truly an evenly matched struggle. Both had sustained numerous injuries.The black entity's body was torn in many places, with burn marks where Arthur's flames had grazed it. Clearly, the pain was intense, and its speed had noticeably slowed. Arthur was not in much better condition, with fresh blood soaking his body and a large wound on his chest. If he hadn't constantly urged his healing magic on that spot, he might have bled to death long ago.Upon hearing Arthur's question, the black entity's face turned slightly solemn. It sneered, "I'm just a part you discarded long ago."Having said that, it resumed its attack. However, at that moment, the ground suddenly trembled, causing the black entity's strike to deviate. Arthur, too, couldn't avoid being affected by the ground's disturbance, sw
In no time, Lance arrived at the office, accompanied by Brand. On the way, he had heard Lucia explain a few things. Zero had returned without Michael or Arthur. While Michael wasn't of much concern to him, it was odd for Zero to return alone without Arthur, unless there were unavoidable circumstances forcing him to return alone. Thinking of this, Lance's expression became more somber.Brand, too, was aware that the situation was not simple. His face no longer bore the playful, nonchalant expression he used to have around Arthur. His eyebrows furrowed, and his face turned cold as if a storm was approaching.Soon, they reached the office. Zero wasn't surprised to see Brand accompanying Lance. After all, in this lifetime, Brand was Arthur's grandfather in name.Zero nodded slightly as a greeting to Brand and then said, "Everyone, please take a seat. This is not some high-level meeting."In front of them was a tea table, modified into a working table, covered with stacked papers.
Riert, sensing Lance's serious expression, refrained from making any more teasing remarks and quickly led Lance to the meeting room. At that moment, Case was still organizing documents in the room. Upon hearing footsteps, he couldn't help but turn around, immediately facing Riert and Lance entering from outside.Case furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "What's happened?"Without uttering a word, Riert, Lance nodded and said, "The situation is urgent. The leader of the Mage Association is in danger, and there's even a possibility of death."Upon hearing this, Case spoke in a serious tone, "It's indeed a serious matter, but it's not inherently difficult to resolve. We can use our influence to temporarily replace Aucris. Moreover, his subordinates are also very capable. Perhaps Mage Association would continue its normal operations even without our intervention."Lance shook his head, "This is much more serious. Aucris is the strongest person on this continent. The Beastfolk tribe vol
