Silence finally returned to Adeye’s house at dawn, though the place was a mess from the fire. However, guards strictly watched the clinic because the matriarch was there. The sudden guest’s appearance made the guards tense, but they had to lower their swords once they identified him. They couldn't dare to block Grand Duke Kun’s path. He had no trouble reaching the room where Adeye Lantuya lay. He moved as silently as a cat despite his frame and entered the room. Creak. His footsteps were…- 290.6 K • Ongoing
- Haas opened a portal some distance away from Crystal Lake on purpose. He thought he might face a dog's death if he encountered monsters immediately after he stepped through the portal. He was incredibly nervous when he arrived, but everything was quiet. He wondered if he'd come to the wrong place at first. But that couldn't be right. He trusted his own skills. He regained his senses and checked his surroundings. He was definitely near Crystal Lake. But why wasn't anyone there? He couldn't hear any…

- “Absolutely not!!” After he left the party building, Haas regained his senses and dropped me off at the Adeye residence. The acrid smell of the fire still didn’t dissipate. Many people were busy cleaning up the mess. I told him that I’d check Doctor Kim’s condition first, then go to Crystal Lake immediately. Haas was horrified and refused. “You absolutely can’t! You shouldn’t go to Crystal Lake!!” I walked toward the clinic where Doctor Kim was lying. I looked back with a…

- Everyone wants a miracle in moments of despair. Only one hope remained for those who were fighting the monsters emerging from the bottom of the Crystal Lake: a miracle. Tubain had a being that could make that miracle happen. Long ago, when monsters tried to destroy the world, a legendary divine beast appeared and shared its power with humans. The people of Tubain had revered the divine beast since childhood and believed they'd be saved eventually. Bito, one of Kun's soldiers, felt the same way.…

- When Doctor Kim’s consciousness returned, the first thing she felt was the sensation of her body shaking. She realized a bit late that someone was running while holding her. But it was hard to open her eyes, and it was hard to breathe too. Her whole body plummeted into her fading consciousness again, but she heard someone’s firm voice faintly. ‘Keep her alive. Make her live no matter what.’ Huh? It sounds like Lu. He sounded very angry, but also very desperate. She wanted to answer that…

- The party started in the early evening and continued even into the late night without losing its heat. There were enough topics to gossip about for hours. Grand Duke Sarne suddenly executed a traitor and left the party, which made the atmosphere terrifying, but that was a separate matter. People talked more about Adeye Lu, who broke a wine bottle afterward. Endless mockery always followed his name. Jeering laughter especially echoed around Hoiga. Montaine could hold banquets in the old imperial…

- Sidro didn't feel good today. He was exhausted from a long trip, and his carriage even broke down. He asked to stay at the nearby Adeye residence, but it took half a day just to get permission. "Who am I? Am I not the person who can handle the Eternal Flame, one of the temple's greatest treasures?" He didn't have much divine power, but he held a position in the temple because he possessed a unique power that the brazier reacted to. He was exiled to the edge of the continent because of a very small,…

- The Adeye residence was famous for having the tightest security in the land because the owner hired the best mercenaries from Tubain. No one could avoid a strict inspection, even if the temple sent them. “You’re here to see Priest Sidro?” The young assistant priest nodded. He looked nervous, and his hands shook slightly. This behavior felt strange to the guard, so he issued an order. “Show me the inside of that wooden box.” The assistant priest obeyed and opened the box. There was a…

- "Head Butler, how's the matriarch?" Solongo lowered her voice and asked the butler, who had just emerged from the Adeye matriarch's room. Perhaps due to overexertion over the past few days, Lantuya had been lying in bed since noon that day. "She has a bit of a fever and her breathing is rough, but it doesn't seem like a situation for much concern." Ah, it's just like when she's normally tired. I shouldn't disturb her since she needs rest, right? She stared at the room door for a moment while…

- But I didn't expect a dark mage. Hoiga swallowed the words that threatened to come out as an excuse. It felt strange. He was using a dark mage as his ally for revenge. Hoiga now tightened his grip on his hand, as if he were squeezing laundry. Kilu glanced at his hand, but seemed oblivious as he relayed the next message. "I received word that Priest Sidro already reached the area near Adeye and stopped for a moment. He’ll enter the Adeye mansion soon." "What about Lu?" "You don't need to worry…
