NovelEnglishWhile Ethan was having a chat with the three beings whom he needed to choose from and make a pact with, Vincent and his wife Cliodhna, were doing their best to hide their presence, not wanting to risk attracting the wrong company.
But, a minute after the ceremony started, Ethan’s Astral Body let out a powerful magic ripple, which spread out for miles on end.
Vincent uncontrollably cursed out loud, while Cliodhna’s face turned pale. They were doing their best to keep a low profile because Ethan's current situation was very delicate.
If something happens to his soul then his real body would become an empty vessel, which was the same as dying.
“Vincent,” Cliodhna said with a serious expression on her face…
“I know!” Vincent immediately left the invisibility barrier that they had initially erected to hide their presence from the beings of the Lands of Saraqael.
The magical fluctuation that came from Ethan was simply too strong, alerting the powerful beings in the surroundings.
Because of this, some of them decided to investigate the location where the magical fluctuation came from.
“Damn. This nephew of mine is such a handful,” Vincent couldn’t help but complain as dozens of powerful presences started to fly in their direction. “Sh*t! He even attracted a Balor. Looks like I’ll have no choice but to go all out on this one.”
The extremely handsome man hovered above the island with his arms crossed over his chest.
He needed to bluff his way out of this one since his wife couldn’t join him in battle.
She was the only one maintaining Ethan’s connection to the Astral Realm. If the ceremony were to be canceled prematurely, it was possible that the young man’s soul would suffer a backlash from.
This was something that they couldn’t allow to happen no matter what.
A minute after Vincent left the invisible barrier, over a dozen beings hovered a few hundred meters from the island where he was.

“Kill me?” Vincent asked in an arrogant tone. “On the contrary, I was getting bored as of late and was looking for someone to kill. But since I’m too lazy to find where you guys are, I decided that it would be easier if you all came to me.”
The Balor snorted as he looked at the arrogant man in front of him.
This wasn't Vincent's first time doing such a thing. He was known in the Lands of Saraqael as the eccentric man who did anything he wanted.
The only person he feared was his wife, but she usually fought on a different battlefield.
Three Archangels hovered on the opposite side of the Balor, eyeing the Conqueror with calm expressions on their faces.
The Archangels and Vincent weren’t foes, but they were certainly not friends either.
They didn’t actively fight against each other, and there were even times when they even cooperated with each other.
The three of them just came to check what had caused the powerful fluctuation that they sensed from a distance.
Two Archdevils eyed Vincent with smiles on their faces. If Vincent and the Angels had a neutral relationship, the Devils and Vincent had a veeeeeeeery close relationship with each other.
The extremely handsome man even winked at the two Arch Devils, and the two winked back at him.
Demons, Shadow Worlders, Fae, Elves, Beastkins, and Fomorians all gathered around Vincent, eyeing him with interest.
The man whom they referred to as the Conqueror simply hovered above the island with his hands crossed over his chest.
“Since you’ve already come, who wants to have a go at me?” Vincent challenged. “Come. It has been a while since I killed idiots.”
The Balor snorted and didn’t hesitate to attack the annoying Human with his fiery whip.
Vincent laughed and casually evaded the attack before flying toward the Balor, who was very eager to fight him.
The other onlookers backed away and simply watched the battle as a form of entertainment.
But there were some of them who directed their attention to the deserted island, trying to see if there was anything there that might catch their interest.
The magical fluctuations they felt were very different from Vincent’s Aura.
Knowing this, they believed that the Human had made himself visible in order to prevent others from investigating the island.
Sensing that the rest of the onlookers were eyeing the island, Vincent talked to the two Arch Devils and asked them for a favor.
‘Friends, one of our allies is currently on the island and being cared for by my wife,’ Vincent said to the two Arch Devils via telepathy. ‘If possible, don’t let him come to harm because he will play an important role in our future battles together.’‘Understood.’
‘We’ll do what we can.’
Since Vincent was part of their faction, they didn’t mind helping him out, especially since he had done them a great service in the war in the Lands of Saraqael.
The mortal enemy of the Angels was the Demons.
The mortal enemy of the Devils were the Balors and other denizens of hell.
The Fomorians and Shadow Lords were fighting against the Fae, Elves, and Beastkins.
As for the Humans? They served as mercenaries for all the races.
Whoever gave them the best offer would become their employer.
Vincent was fighting for the Devils, while his wife was fighting for the Fae.
They usually fought on different battlefields, but whenever they were together, a massacre would take place.
Similar to her husband, Cliodhna had sensed the presence of her allies, so she also asked them to help defend the island just in case the Balor, the Demons, or the Shadow Worlders decided to attack it.
Just as the battle was heating up between Vincent and the Balor, the Shadow Worlders detected an anomaly on the island.
“There is a barrier of invisibility on the island,” one of the Shadow Worlders declared. “It seems that the Conqueror is hiding something inside it.”
The Balor, who was fighting Vincent, sneered before summoning a giant fireball.
“Let’s see you dodge this!” the Balor laughed as he hurled the giant Fireball towards the island.
Vincent, who could have easily avoided the Fireball, had no choice but to grit his teeth and block it.
Summoning his crimson sword, Vincent cut the Fireball in half, making it explode in front of him.
The blast pushed him back a bit, but when the smoke had cleared, he saw another Fireball flying in his direction.
‘Sh*t!’ Vincent cursed internally as he once again sliced the Fireball in half.
While this was happening, the Demons, the Shadow Worlders, and the Fomorians flew toward the island with the intention of seeing what it was hiding.
The two Archdevils, whom Vincent had asked for help, blocked their path.
The Fae, Elves, and Beastkins also went to help, resulting in a stalemate.
The three Archangels, who remained in the air, glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.
While everyone was busy fighting against each other, they flew toward the island, intending to uncover the secrets that were hidden within.
Cliodhna, who was also paying attention to the battle outside, had no choice but to shift a part of her power to erect another barrier.
This time, the barrier was meant to prevent anyone from interfering with the ceremony.
However, she wasn’t confident that she would be able to hold back three Archangels for a long time, for their strength was on par with hers.
