The Vastness of Magical Destiny

Magic was swiftly conveyed by Eve, who had been staying in the Caucasus, and those who had received Eve’s magical transmission immediately returned at the fastest speed from their wanderings in the Cordillera Wilderness in search of the Wicked Dragon’s Nest.

The Wicked Dragon’s range of activity was simply too vast, and with the Baden Gold Mountain Range’s peaks and precipices aplenty, finding the exact location of the Wicked Dragon’s nest among these cliffs was like looking for a needle in a haystack, unless the dragon’s tracks were first discovered. Recently, it seemed as if the Wicked Dragon had disappeared in the Baden Gold Mountain Range and was frolicking in the Nether Sea instead, rendering the formidable force gathered to doom the Wicked Dragon utterly useless.

The dramatic changes in the Caucasus were not entirely unforeseen by everyone—at least the other two Guardian Mage Kings of Dark Holy Church had a vague premonition. As the sovereign entrusted with the revival of the Dark Holy Church, Komer had long been marked with the Mind Attraction Mark, a unique mental magic spell by Xerob. Although it didn’t grant complete knowledge of Komer’s whereabouts, the mark always provided timely feedback to the caster when something urgent occurred, which Xerob believed Komer must also feel, though neither of them explicitly pointed it out.

The disorder within Damarlinsk Castle filled everyone with righteous indignation. The Church of Light Religious Tribunal might be an absolute authority that those living in the mortal world dare not defy, but to the mighty combination made up of Puppet Mages, Dark Knights, Dark Devotees as well as Sleeping Undead and Ice Dragons, it was only a challenging opponent at best. The Tribunal’s power was indeed mighty, but not enough to make this group flee. Even if their strength was unmatched, such blatant provocation was intolerable to this assembly of dark remnants and heretics.

For Uma, who had no reservations, this blunt hit ignited her fury. She was still counting on the heir to the Dark Dynasty to find her a more wonderful body to reshape herself. Although the male body she was currently possessing was quite perfect, the gender difference always made her somewhat uncomfortable. This direct attack was utterly infuriating.

"Hmph, what are you thinking about? What else is there to think? It must be those damned Light zealots’ doing. Half-Beastmen kid, you’re right, they must have kidnapped Komer. We have no choice but to fight tooth and nail, and strike back!"

The sinister and dark voice echoed in the room. Only this person of unknown origin dared to call the Judges of the Tribunal thugs. This designation sent a chill down Eve’s spine—who were these people anyway? She couldn’t see through any of them. They each had their own secret techniques to shield their minds, making it impossible for her to understand their innermost secrets. Certainly, they couldn’t be indigenous to the Caucasus. How did Komer come to associate with such an odd and varied bunch of strangers?

Being called a Half-Beastmen kid made Maha Gummi feel uncomfortable, but glancing at the other’s expressionless face and his deep, dark gaze sent an icy chill through Maha Gummi. He knew full well that his master’s friends were exceptional individuals with earth-shattering capabilities; in their presence, he felt as fragile as an ant.
