Mystical Journey

"I know that in previous years, the two other nations of the Royal Alliance have had their own gathering areas. Naturally, I am not here to raid your area." Garen laughed. "I heard that the Cthulhuism Society's master is planning to purchase glittering water. So happen I do have sufficient glittering water. The reason I came here is to make a deal with you. Your Cthulhu's Origin is something I have yearned for long."

"A deal?" The ice-cold girl shuddered. "I will convey your intentions to our master. You can go back to where you came from. Let me remind you of something. Kovitan's stronghold has already been invaded by an outsider."

"I'll settle it by myself." Garen nodded. Before the deal, he temporarily wouldn't take action against the Cthulhuism Society. It would be different after the deal was completed.

Before Hellgate's awakening, he had to do all he could to gather resources to upgrade himself. This was his final chance.

He stopped heading forwards and started walking around the level. He headed towards the direction of another stronghold.

One of the strongholds in this area was originally Kovitan's. Unfortunately, because of the huge changes to Kovitan some time ago, large amounts of manpower were recalled back. The stronghold was then occupied by some low-level forces from Kovitan until the incident with the red-robed man took place.

An unknown red-robed man attempted to seize control of a second level stronghold. He first challenged Daniela's stronghold. After being defeated by Gallo King who was on guard, he no longer dared to return. He next went to the Cthulhuism Society's territory. But his neck was almost snapped by the Earth God on guard. The Earth Guard was ranked in the top six in the Cthulhuism Society.

As his planned to become famous failed, the red-robed man helplessly headed towards Kovitan's stronghold. He released all his accumulated anger on Kovitan's totem users.

The man was unscrupulous. With his first tier escaping ability, he didn't care about the possibility of revenge by Kovitan's elites and instantly acted. The other forces who were observing at the sidelines were surprised.

The Kovitan compound was like paper paste, crumbling at one touch.

The red-robed man killed three of the men in charge in a row. He finally conquered the stronghold completely and chased everyone from Kovitan out of the stronghold.

Kovitan in its current divisive state no longer had the greatness when Avic was still alive. Their overall strength was even weaker than Edney. As they couldn't even manage their internal matters, troubles far away in Daniela shouldn't even be mentioned.

In the eyes of outsiders, Kovitan was like a sunset, no longer having the light and heat of a midday sun. The past greatness of this nation was no longer there. The strongest nation now was Daniela, while Edney was the second. Kovitan, with the Ultimate Protection, could barely be considered as the third. However, regarding their influence on the outside world, they were nothing once they stepped out of the Ultimate Protection.

As Garen arrived at the stronghold, the sun was only left with a small semi-circle on the horizon.

Kovitan's stronghold was a deserted white stone castle. The remnants of the great battle could be seen everywhere.

Some of the places were full of blood stains. A handful of totem users from Kovitan were fearfully looking from afar.

Whether it was the red-robed man or Garen, in their hearts they were both problems that could not be defeated. Garen destroyed his opponents in the country. He was incredibly cruel. Similarly, the red-robed man was strong. He did not blink when committing a murder. In the fight between two tigers, it all depends on who is stronger. Having said that, regardless of the winning side, there were no benefits for these imitation Royal Alliance totem users who previously occupied the stronghold.

Without hesitation, Garen took big steps into the castle compound.

It was quiet inside, without any human sounds.

Garen's clear footsteps echoed in the surroundings.

"You have finally come!" A cold voice came from within the castle.

The red-robed man stood on the peak of the castle. He folded his arms and looked at Garen proudly.

"I've studied totems for forty-two years. I couldn't find a suitable opponent on par with me after coming out from my training. I never thought you would come here by yourself."

Garen was speechless. This was obviously another one seeking fame by challenging elites. He was similar to the guy whose heart was ripped out by the Angel of the Night. He looked reckless, but in actual fact, he must have done his preparations.

"What's your name?" Seeing that his opponent was a fourth form, Garen asked.

"Justin Edward!"

Never heard of it.

Garen searched the original history and couldn't find this person. Most likely he was a small character that was killed by one of the elites.

"Alright. You can leave." Garen waved impatiently. He initially thought it was an important figure, a mysterious master. He never expected it to be a common person.

The red-robed man instantly widened his eyes.　

"You dare to ask me to leave?! Don't think too highly of your Dasula School!! Even your teacher dared not speak to me this way!"

"Dasula?" Garen instantly thought of teacher Emin, the actual old totem user that taught him the basics.

"I've heard that you are the strongest in the history of Dasula! Being the pride of the entire Dasula, I want to see your abilities today! Take this, Polyether Air Gun! Die if you cannot take it!!" As the red-robed man raised his hands, a blood red light appeared around him, forming a giant, invisible whirlpool of air.

Garen was lazy to speak nonsense with him. There was a sudden tremor below his feet and he became a black ray of light.

With a flash, he instantly appeared before the red-robed man and gave him a smack with his hand.

Bang!!!

The red blur fell to the ground, forming a pit with a diameter of more than ten meters. In the middle of the pit was the red-robed man. There was blood on the sides of his mouth. His body was glimmering in red totem light, but it looked shaky as if it would break down anytime. He was in total shock. His eyes were about to roll up, as if he didn't know how he was knocked down.

Chiiiii!!!

A black ray of light shot down instantly, accurately hitting his chest.

Bang!!

There was a huge tremor on the ground, forming a ten-meter long crack. In an instant, the red-robed man's body became a blood-like fog. Not even his bones were left.

The blood-like fog was quickly sucked in by the dragon blur on Garen's back. It became the Nine-Headed Hydra's nutrients.

"Dasula School? Looks like Teacher Emin has rebuilt his previous school. In actual fact, I am from Dasula." Garen stood at the side of the pit and reminisced about the past. His foundations were truly from Dasula. It was natural for the other disciples from the school to look at him as a top representative and pride.

If it wasn't for the challenger seeking for death who suddenly appeared today, he wouldn't have known that Teacher Emin had already rebuilt Dasula.

"I do know a little about Dasula School." Wukang suddenly appeared beside Garen. He brought along a heavy scent of perfume, which made people dizzy.

"The Dasula School officially announced leaving the Terraflor Society some time ago. They regained independence and just like previously, they were split into three branches. Your teacher Emin, the Luminarist is now the elder and master of the school. Having said that, these developments are heavily influenced by you."

"My influence?"

"Of course. Your fame and power are growing. In addition, the Obscuro Society faced some heavy losses after being defeated by Hawk King Goth. The Dasula School naturally shared some fame. Even if your teacher didn't plan to rely on you, the positive impact on him was unavoidable. Furthermore, the disciples think of you as the greatest pride in Dasula's history. It is true in fact. Although Dasula is considered strong regionally, it is just a medium-level school. Producing such a top elite like Lord Garen, naturally, they would publicize it."

Wukang grinned. "It has been said that the whole school regards you as a role model and cohesive force. The whole school has never been more united. The segregated branches of the past have also returned and the overall power has soared."

Garen did not consider this.

It was like someone who became famous or achieved something great. All their previous schools, primary schools, secondary schools and others would take pride in them. They would use that to publicize on the quality of their teaching. Their fame would grow and naturally their development would speed up. It was the same principle.

"Why haven't they come and look for me?" Garen couldn't understand.

"It should be your teacher's decision." Wukang wasn't sure as well.

Garen might have guessed something.

In order not to make life difficult for himself, Teacher Emin voluntarily left the Terraflor Society. Although relying on the Black Swamp Palace would be much help, but at the same time would bring great risks. Emin must have considered that and decided not to come and look for him.

Garen made up his mind to find a time to contact his teacher. Although the Dasula School was his teacher's school, it was also a force that supported him. He should take care of them once Hellgate awakened. Hiding in the Ultimate Protection, it was improbable that Hellgate could unlock it in a short time. Furthermore, there was that old man in the palace. In the original history, the reason Hellgate didn't break through the Ultimate Protection might be this.

"Speaking of this, I have some troubling news." Wukang continued. "After we presumptuously raided their strongholds, the Cthulhuism Society has sent people to take the Glittering Pond back."

"No worries. I've already sent a message to Voidharp, Blizzard and the rest. My Black Swamp Palace is not a weakling. If we can't even handle the Cthulhuism Society, a weak force suppressed by the royal family of Daniela, what qualifications do we have to interfere?"

Garen had long predicted.

He had already tied the elites of the Snowy Mountain together with him. This group of old people who had no fear of death was abnormally cruel. The conditions in the North were terrible, in addition to Kovitan's Ultimate Protection in the middle, it was abnormally difficult for the Obscuro Society to take revenge. Without anything to worry about, they naturally became tighter.

Furthermore, the most important was that the Seven Night Tower far away in the North was only familiar with the Royal Alliance as a traditionally strong force. As for the Obscuro Society, could they compare to the Royal Alliance? The difference was too big.

Their impression hasn't changed.

It was the same for people like Wukang. The Royal Alliance was an incredibly strong force. It wasn't something that the two fifth form Marshalls of the Obscuro could withstand. If they didn't hide properly, God Cloud and the other Marshall would have been annihilated.

Especially the Director of the National Service, which was someone that he himself would be afraid of. The main reason God Cloud was hiding for so many years was this man. God Cloud had been trained by him.

As the teacher of a black sheep, he searched everywhere for God Cloud. The reason God Cloud didn't dare to show his real body was because of this director.
