Chapter 562: New Horizons (End of Book 10) + TOMORROW!

562. New Horizons

Now Entering [Dungeon: Remnants of the First Demon Kingdom]

The words resounded in my head. I stared at the broken altar. I swept my gaze around the room, staring at the brick wall. I recognized this place. It was the very first room I entered after descending further into this Dungeon.

It was where I had discovered those collars the very same summoning rings that would bring Regnorexs minions to the Mortal Realm. And the inscriptions told me that this kingdom belonged to my father.

Or, at least, it used to belong to Sal.

Samuel?

The Devil King.

Whatever he went by back then, it didnt matter. He used to be a ruler of a vast kingdom this place used to be a safe haven. A sanctuary for all kinds of Demons to gather, away from the harsh world above.

But now, it was all ruins. And in the depths of the second layer, only a single citizen of the kingdom remained.

Was Belphegor dead? I didnt know. He was still battling the hordes of the corruption down in the second layer last I saw. He had even used a Skill when he was reaching for his chest. Was it a regular Skill? A Grand Skill?

Again, I didnt know. He was so much stronger than me that even his regular Skills were comparable to the Grand Skills I had seen from other Elites. Or maybe they were all Grand Skills. Maybe every Skill I had seen him use was a Grand Skill. Maybe every Skill he had was a Grand Skill.

Either way, he was still fighting against the end of the world. And that last Skill he used had been greater than the others. I hoped that he was able to defeat that Corrupted Hellspace. It was strong it was almost unkillable. It simply regenerated from everything Belphegor had thrown at it.

It had even corrupted me maybe.

I looked down at myself. I wasnt a corrupted creature like the Corrupted Netherstones and Corrupted Netherstructures. Certainly, I hadnt succumbed to the corruption like the Wyvern I had fought back in the Helbir Plains did. It was more like I had Skills related to manipulating and even creating the corruption.

Just like the [Ancient Centinel] I had killed back in the Bloodied Gulf.

I narrowed my eyes. I saw the veil of corruption wisping off me. The four wheels that circled around me faded away as I deactivated my [Protection of the Corruption]. But my body remained distorted. Like my figure was nearly invisible obfuscated by the warped space.

I took a step forward, taking in a deep breath. And [Corruption Camouflage] came to an end too. I was finally back to my regular self. And I nodded as I took in a deep breath.

Alright so maybe going down to the second layer was not a good idea

I should have known it would be dangerous, but the fact that even a Level 200 [Golem of the Basilisk] was torn apart in the face of the army of the corruption just showed how far out of my depth I was down there.

It was as the Kobolds had told me the Old Gods died to prevent the end of the world. The Dragons in the Mortal Realm, and my dads kingdom in the Netherworld. They fought to stop the corruption. And even then, all they could do was slow it.

I stared at the tunnel leading further down to the Prison of the Basilisk. There was nothing for me down there not right now. Even going back to speak with the [Basilisk] was pointless. After all, there was a very real chance that it would attack me since I now had a Corrupted Title.

If it sensed ever a semblance of the corruption on me I would be turned to stone in an instant. Probably.

most likely.

Haec, Taburas, Betrugil, and Aemula wandered the scarred world of Revelation. They were lost. They were being hunted. But they werent afraid.

Haec wasnt afraid. After all, he knew he would see his leader again.

But until then, he wasnt alone. He was accompanied by others. No by his brand new companions? Or at least, a singular companion in Taburas.

They continued following the cracks and crevices, staying safe and far from the death and destruction above.

But in the Mortal Realm

Things were different. There wasnt a planar disaster that naturally struck the world, following a consistent cycle like that of night and day. However, that didnt mean that the Human lands didnt have their own problems.

For one, they were still recovering from the Demon invasion of the Mortal Realm. Even though they had repelled the Demon King, the aftershocks of the attempted merger remained. Even now. And for another

The Human lands was at war.

Daniel Song drew his bloodied sword from the corpse of an Elf. He raised his head, scanning the barren battlefield. It was a resounding victory. He nodded at himself, before sheathing his blade as a notification echoed in his mind.

He closed his eyes as he listened.
