“…Allen.” At the same moment, in the underground sanctuary . Amidst a standoff with Bernak within the sealed space, Leon called out to Allen with a tense expression. Allen, covered in the dust swirling within the sanctuary and drenched in the crow’s blood, glanced sideways over his shoulder with a face stained black. "I know. You felt it too?" Leon nodded silently. The vibrations rumbling through the ground since earlier were anything but ordinary. 'Could it be... the imperial palace…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
…Boom! “Wh-what’s happening…!” The heads of the knights and Ser in the underground dungeon all turned upward when they heard the deafening sound that felt like the sky were falling. “N-no way it’s collapsing…?” A terrified knight murmured in a trembling voice, and anxious gazes all turned to Ser. Ser was standing before the prison cell where Prince Damien was imprisoned, he concentrated as he deciphered and dismantled each intricate spell embedded within the magic stone. As…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Zed couldn't believe the sight unfolding before his eyes. The flesh that had maintained human form was torn away like a shed skin, it sprawled grotesquely across the floor. Something burst through that flesh and swelled to the size of a house in the blink of an eye. Thud! A long, black leg burst through the tattered flesh and slammed into the floor. The marble cracked. Another leg shot out, followed by the sound of joints snapping. "This can't be..." Zed unconsciously swallowed dryly and…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
In the darkness. Zed was there alone. He couldn't see ahead, nor could he sense his own body. Even when he flailed at the void, he felt nothing; even when he screamed, his voice was swallowed by the darkness. 'Is this a dream?' He briefly clung to that hope, but it couldn't be. The last thing he saw was Magnus's twisted smile, and the touch of that ominous darkness that had swallowed his entire body still lingered. ‘Harto….’ He was overcome with self-reproach. He had sworn never to let go…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Clunk. He heard the sound as he was climbing the spiral staircase that seemed to have no end. An ominous sound of something misaligning echoed. Zed instinctively adjusted his grip on his weapon and pressed himself against the wall. But the enemy's presence was no longer audible. Instead, the opposite wall pillar rotated and slid open. Beyond it lay a pitch-black passageway, its depth impossible to gauge. The darkness, impenetrable even an inch ahead, felt eerily like the throat of a giant beast. It…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Damn it! There's no end in sight!" The underground sanctuary in the west. It was already a hellish space. Flocks of crows filled the sanctuary. Hundreds of crows swarmed Isadora and Allen, who were holding their weapons and barely holding the line, as if they were about to swallow them whole. "Caw!" Slash! Isadora's sword sliced through the air. As she struck down a single crow in one swift blow, crimson blood spurted like a fountain. From the split surface of the halved crow, another crow…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Robert lightly stepped over the window sill and landed on the cool stone floor inside the tower. He immediately placed his hands on the wall and began etching intricate runes. "It's quiet. I expected it, but... it seems they were fully prepared and waiting for us." Zed and Harto followed him inside, and Robert withdrew his hand from the wall. The carefully drawn magic circle immediately lost its light and vanished without a trace. "This is..." "The entire tower is controlled by immense magical…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Thud. For a moment, Harto felt his heart drop. When he tried to read calmly, the elementals seemed to notice and stared at him while their pupils rolling around. "Wh-why are you suddenly talking about Hartiros?" Harto steadied his trembling voice and answered as nonchalantly as possible. "Just... because he's the most famous. That's why I asked. No other meaning." "Ah... I see..." At Zed's nonchalant attitude, Harto cleared his throat loudly, trying to calm his racing…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Clink! Clink! "Harto?" The horses began galloping nonstop. Harto, who had been making loud noises inside the carriage, slid down and returned to his original slime form. “Hngh, hnghh….” Then, tears like a waterfall began pouring from his eyes. "Ha-Harto? What's wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?" "What suddenly happened…." Allen and Leon looked at Harto in shock, but he couldn't stop crying. "Harto, if it's because of Damien…." Zed whispered soothingly, embracing him with a…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
Damien instantly recognized Zed's face beneath the fake beard and mage disguise. "Damien..." Zed couldn't hide his shock at the sight of Damien. The state Damien was in before him was so pitiful it was almost unbearable to look at. A body reduced to skin and bones, sunken eye sockets, and the deep scars of torture etched across his entire body…. Zed’s heart sank, unable even to imagine the brutal time Damien must have endured here. Yet, on Damien's own face, there was no trace of emotion.…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
