David glared at Alec with bloodshot eyes, but Alec did not take him seriously at all.Having witnessed David's condition after he used that power the first time, Alec was certain that the toll for such an ability must have been immense.This was exactly why he had targeted Dave again, deliberately pushing David into utter despair; after all, he believed there was no better way to defeat a master schemer than to turn the things they cherished against them.“I will kill you!” David roared, as he reached out to touch his brother's body that had been kicked towards him, and although he appeared to be in a state of blind rage, however his mind was actively analyzing his surroundings, calculating a way to escape as time runes began to materialize around the corpse before him.The transparent, clearly visible runes formed a protective barrier around the body, resembling a temporal coffin.With a simple gesture, David effortlessly moved the body to his side, and even when he lowered his hand,

The moment the great lord departed, Alec wasted no time heading to the twins' palace to swiftly claim their lord token.Meanwhile, the citizens of the cities ruled by the twins had already realized that their lord had either been defeated in battle or they had deserted them.As this realization took hold, anxiety and fear spread among the populace, although the twins were far from being ideal rulers and were largely disliked by their people, but the citizens had learned how to manage under their reign.Survival for most meant keeping a low profile to avoid attracting the lords' attention or suffering their worst impulses.Yet, when they compared the familiar cruelty of the twins to the terrifying rumors of what they heard about how other lords who conquered another domain treated the captive populations, they couldn't help but tremble at what their future might hold for them.Amidst the panic, the remnants of the twins' army gathered to form a defensive line around their loved ones, c

Across the Wilderness realm at the other opposite domain of Alec’s, a vast sea stretched out before them, from which several aquatic demi-humans were currently emerging.Spotting these strange lifeforms, the guards of the nearest city lord immediately rang the warning bell to alert their master. However, preoccupied in his chambers with pleasures of the flesh, the city lord paid little heed to the alarm.He simply ordered additional warriors to the city gates, remaining unconcerned due to the long-standing peace in the human territories and the knowledge that the major hostile forces that were still actively at war with the humans were kept at bay by the unified strength of the human emperors.Within minutes, the disruptive sound of battle reached his ears once more, making him wonder what was truly wrong because he had dispatched his army commander to crush the troublemakers at the gates earlier. Which meant he had anticipated a swift, quiet resolution, but on the contrary it seems

At that exact time, the blood moon war was on the verge of beginning within the Five Kingdom regions.Meanwhile, after the hundred talents had taken to the Origin realm, the northern kingdom king had finally turned his focus toward the few individuals and organisations he viewed as thorns in his side.His greatest obstacle was the War God mage academy; however, since he could not launch a direct attack against them, he targeted the much weaker Gordons clan instead.He had utilized his royal authority to heavily restrict them before they faced the hearing of their case where it states they killed a worker of the royal clan, but even after bringing them to court, the gathered evidence failed to convict them of any crime, forcing him to let them go.Still, he found other ways to deal with them by assigning them the responsibility of now defending Estonia city as its new lords, while completely withholding any support to them, city guards, and city guardians were also not sent to the city

Just as Alec and his group were about to step outside the throne room, a sudden, powerful bang reverberated through the area, causing everything around them to tremble violently.A booming voice echoed across the human territory of the Origin realm, delivering a solemn announcement:[New regions have once again merged with the human territory of the Origin realm, to those who aspire to become new human kings and those who have become human king rank already after entering the Origin realm, remember this: the moment you assume king-rank leadership within this realm, you are bound as natives of the human domain, and as native, it is your solemn duty to defend this land against all external invasions from other sub-realms of the Origin realm.]Even without the announcement, everyone could sense the drastic shift in their surroundings. Near Alec's territory, he and his sub-lords gazed out to see a vast, unfamiliar landscape stretching far into the distance, a land that had not existed the
