There is absolutely nothing wrong with my magic cards!

Today's Demon Realm is already an extinct place where no living beings can survive. The deadly poisonous mist enveloped the earth, and everything was destroyed, except for the Demon King's Tomb that was preserved at last.

According to the map of the Devil Realm of the Holy Kingdom in Durkan's memory, as well as the map of the present world, only the Devil Realm was destroyed, and the Holy Kingdom was affected but not completely destroyed.

The Holy Kingdom, which was hit hard afterwards, also split into the Saron Empire and many kingdoms, forming the present world after a long time.

Therefore, in the Shadow World, the northern border of the Holy Kingdom, which would normally be reached after crossing the Demon Realm, is now the extreme northern part of the Saron Empire, and it is also the closest location to the coordinates of the Demon King's Tomb in the present world.

To be on the safe side, Durkan avoided being teleported to a critical void in a completely unknown state, or directly died from the too harsh cold ice field. During this period, he also purified some of the devil's magic power as much as possible to ensure that his teleportation distance was farther, and he could safely land in the northern part of the empire.

If he wants to continue going south, Sean's mana is too weak, and Durkan needs to spend a lot of time to continue to purify the demon king's mana.

Even now, half a year has passed in the Shadow World, plus the two months that Durkan has repaired the [Space Leap Gate], it is no longer known where the empire has been annexed.

If the empire has annexed the northern kingdoms, it will take at least a few months for Durkan to purify enough magic power of the demon king to teleport himself back to the southern kingdom.

If it really took that long, the southern kingdom might have already been destroyed.

Finally, after calculation, it was determined that teleporting to the northern border of the empire as soon as possible was the best choice.

But just fine.

It is not a bad thing to go to the empire.

Sean is all for letting the vermin of Durkan reach the enemy's heartland from an unexpected starting point.

But where it will fall in the empire depends very much on luck.

If you are lucky, you may get to a very safe starting place, giving Durkan a lot of room to play.

With bad luck, it is also possible to meet the emperor directly.

"Everything is ready."

After adjusting the space door, Durkan looked back at Sean and said, as if he was about to leave.

"Do you want to check the energy again?"

Sean asked.

"No problem. I know the distance from the Demon King's Tomb to the extreme north of the Holy Kingdom. I have memorized the map Altis gave me at that time."

As a newly-promoted historical geographer and space transition gate engineer, Durkan has repeatedly confirmed the safety value of the required energy consumption.

"On the contrary, if you look at me again, are you sure that my disguise is in place?"

Durkan adjusted his collar, then turned around again, and asked Sean.

Sean looked at Durkan's new look, and gradually became a little gnashing of teeth.

She seemed to regret that she didn't have the reporter's equipment on hand.

Finally she sighed helplessly and said:

"Although there is a little risk in theory, it's not a big problem. Unless it's someone who knows you very well, they won't think about 'you are Decan'."

At this moment, Dekan completely changed his appearance.

He has used [Blood Mimicry] to turn himself into a group unique to the empire, a half-dragon clan and a girl.

Similar to the dragon demon, but the characteristics of the dragon are more obvious. In addition to the dragon horns on the head, there are some scales on the skin, and the pupils are completely animal pupils.

And dyed her hair red with a special plant from the Demon King's Tomb, and added some makeup.

Although his appearance was still slightly similar to when he was in the Demon Prison, his race and momentum had completely changed. He tried his best to make himself look a bit dazed.

"I would like to see how many new skins you have to release."

Sean crossed his hands and continued to look at Durkan's new appearance.

But she also knows that small talk is not an option, and Durkan needs to set off as soon as possible to resolve the war in this world.

"You remember to come back and save me."

Shane added.

"rest assured."

Durkan was talking, and just about to turn around, he stopped again, as if he had something to say.

"Why? Still a little bit reluctant?"

Sean spread his hands helplessly. Although they often cheated on each other, they were more or less friends in need.

"No, a year has passed, and your [Destination Divination] has cooled down again, right? Can you use it for me once before you leave? Use your remaining value."

Durkan said it bluntly.

Sean was taken aback when he heard the words, and then Durkan laughed angrily.

"Hehehe..."

After this guy came back from Shadow World, he didn't look like a person anymore.

"Tell me, if you want to divination, I will only give you one free time."

"...Divination for me, the question of 'Is legendary-level material a necessary condition for legendary-level magic cards'."

Durkan had previously asked Sean about the legendary cards.

Sean told Durkan that Avalon, the legendary card maker of the Kingdom Federation and the ninth-level special card maker, had asked Sean to help him divination information about the red legend many years ago.

At that time, the question Avalon asked was: "How far is the epic of red light from the legend of red?"

And the result of the divination is: "a lifetime."

After Avalon left with this ambiguous result, he has not succeeded in making a red legend until today.

Even after a long period of time, Avalon never made magic cards again, just like giving up the function of card maker.

Durkan naturally does not ask repeated questions.

Durkan also knows, just like [Divination of Destiny] it is difficult to divination accurate information about the tenth-level shadow world at the ninth level.

It is also difficult to divination related issues of the red legend level with the level of the red light epic.

Unless it asks a more specific question, it has a better chance of giving a definitive answer.

Sean took out the card without much ink and started divination. This ninth-level red light epic turned into a halo of light and surrounded Sean's hands. The surrounding gods are looking at the truth.

"The answer is, no."

Soon, Sean returned to normal, completed the divination and took back the [Destination Divination].

Durkan frowned.

He is convinced that the Chiguang epic has reached the limit of production technology, and the only way to improve it is to add legendary materials to it.

So he originally suspected that maybe this was the prerequisite for breaking through to the red legend rank.

But Sean's divination results told him that it is possible to make a red legend even without legendary materials.

So what he lacks is still something else.

"Huh, if only I could talk to Avalon."

Durkan sighed, and started to activate the [Space Leap Gate].

Maybe Avalon has been aware of this issue for many years.

I don't know when, Durkan felt that there was a red legendary card waiting for him to make it, as if it was within reach, but it was like the moon in the water.

The closer you get to it, the farther you feel from it.

If he can figure out the answer, he may have a chance to create a red legend with his master and complete his ultimate goal in life.

Just when he was thinking.

"Mr. Pain, hurry up and descend to the empire! Let those stupid people of the empire see how powerful the Pope of Pain is! I'll just wait here and win!"

Sean waved his arms like a cheerleader, cheering Durkan on.

"You are the most unlucky cute girl I have ever seen."

Durkan, whose thoughts were interrupted, disappeared into the Demon King's Tomb with black lines all over his head.

……

Inside an underground temple in the northern part of the empire.

Surrounded by steep stone walls on all sides, this is a hollowed-out mountainside space.

However, no one will find out that there is actually a dilapidated temple hidden here.

Several clusters of lights hanging on the stone wall cast light and shadows that flickered on and off.

In the spacious secret room deep inside, a group of figures in black robes emerged.

They circled around an ancient altar, constantly dancing weird dances.

Under the dim light of the fire, their shadows stretched long.

And as their ceremony proceeded, it seemed as if the space on the altar was distorted, and a chaotic black mist lingered, and no one could see clearly what was being conceived on it.

In front of the altar, a leader-like high priest knelt on the ground, as if presiding over the ceremony.

Suddenly, the door of the secret room was pushed open.

"No, the Imperial Army is coming in!"

The messenger who rushed in from the outside had just finished shouting at the top of his lungs when his chest was pierced by the sword light, and he fell to the ground with his round eyes spitting out blood.

Accompanied by the sound of falling to the ground and heavy steps, batch after batch of imperial troops rushed into the secret room.

However, none of this seemed to shake the people who were performing the ceremony.

"Come back from hell..."

They chanted in unison, as if ten thousand people were speaking at the same time,

"Great and benevolent Lord of Calamity, you are the Lord of phenomenon and consciousness, and possess the supreme power. I cannot retreat silently from your protection. Lord of Calamity, please save me and guide me to escape from the wrong path and the labyrinth. If you exist in my heart, please never leave this place again. You will always be by my side, everything is your gift!!"

Listening to the chants in the secret room, the soldiers of the empire felt terrified, and at the same time rushed into the crowd without hesitation and began to slash.

But this group of believers were cut down by the imperial army, even though the ground was spattered with scarlet blood, they did not stop the ceremony.

Finally, at some point.

The earth roars!The sky outside the temple seemed to be stained red like blood.
