Chapter 518: Sometimes, guarding from the outside is not enough
There’s no such thing as perfection.
Even the mightiest dragon had a gap between its scales, and the Primordial One fell from the creations’ negative energy. Naturally, a mortal made Lord Castle would have several blind sides.

Ironically, the Castle Guards getting focused on the Lord Consort as well as the lakeside forest created some holes in the Castle’s overall security.
The moment the Lord of Greed was sighted in the Realm of Wrath’s warcamp, a scroll burnt in the darkness of a forgotten room beneath the Temple. Several cloaked figures straightened their back and slipped inside a tunnel that hadn’t been used for centuries; the existence obscured in history.
It was the tunnel that would bring them inside the Castle ground.

From Shwa.
Despite feeling sluggish from abruptly getting woken up, I stood up in urgency. My muscles were creaking and my head felt dizzy, but my mind was on my little flower, and I scolded the fairies.
