Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Outside Finnlit, in the Sean City-State Alliance, a beautiful manor existed. Its interior was decorated with the most luxurious items.

Statues, created by famous artists, had been placed in the courtyard. Ancient paintings hung on the walls. Carpets, made from magical beasts’ fur, covered many of the rooms’ floors, and delicate glass shutters let the moonlight in each night, causing the remaining bare floorboards to shine.

At the moment, a grand banquet was being held in the manor. Not long ago, the master of the manor had returned from the other side of the sea, accompanied with numerous commodities and unbelievable wealth. Overnight, his status had skyrocketed, and he had instantly become a popular figure in the capital of Sean.

During the banquet, meat from all kinds of exotic animals was brought to the table. Maids in beautiful clothes were kept very busy as men and women enjoyed copious amounts of delicious food and great wine. They were all celebrating the manor master’s successful trip and safe return.

The sky’s stars were dim this night, and at the end of the banquet, all the nobles and rich people left, one after another. Once they were all gone, the manor master rushed upstairs, carrying a beautiful maid in his arms. Then, the servants got to work, cleaning up the hall.

At this time, a large number of figures, who were dressed in dark red cloaks, were gathered in the woods that were directly across the manor. Suddenly, the two knights who were guarding the manor entrance saw two of the cloaked men rush out amid the darkness. The two figures silently cut off the two knights’ heads!

Following that, dozens of figures in dark red cloaks rushed into the manor, pulled out their swords, and blocked the entrance. At that moment, they commenced a full-on massacre against all of the people inside the manor.

“Ah! Close the door! Don’t let them get in. Stop them!” someone from the manor screamed, as all of those inside the manor descended into a panic.

The assassins who had just entered the manor killed whoever they saw. Blood was everywhere, seeping through the cracks of the slates. Amid the chaos, tables were kicked over, priceless porcelains from the Kingdom of Pusuote were broken, and everything in the assassins’ paths was destroyed.

“Please don’t kill us!” As they tried to run away and begged for their lives, the maids were all killed in the corridor.

Although the manor’s guards rushed out and fought with the assassins, every assassin seemed to have an immortal body, so even if several swords penetrated their bodies, they did not die! It appeared as if they all had infinite strength and limitless life force!

At this time, the master of the manor rushed out of his room, only to find himself surrounded by men in dark red cloaks. He then cried out in alarm, “Who are you? What do you want?”

A man came out from behind him and lifted his red cloak, revealing a very handsome face. But, within that handsome face, shone a pair of monstrous pupils!

“Mr. Alchemy, we are paying you this visit tonight because we have heard some interesting news. It is said that, when you went to Yala, you met the Moonlight Elves tribe and got some news that could shock the whole world!” the man yelled.

He then asked, “Wouldn’t you like to share this news?”

The master of the manor looked at the mark on the man’s arm. Although he could only see a part of it, he recognized it immediately and exclaimed, “The Church of True God! Your race has not died out, yet?”

As he was an alchemist, the master of the manor’s face immediately became gloomy. He quickly looked around and used his Flashy Blinding. At that moment, a dazzling light quickly covered the entire manor.

Then, he turned around and ran, while throwing out an alchemy bomb. The sound of its violent explosion was earth-shattering. Most of the houses and walls were destroyed by it, collapsing instantly.

The master of the manor then jumped down from a window, and when he was about to land on the ground, a huge pillar was thrown down from the sky. The huge pillar, which had been shot like a sharp arrow, directly hit the master of the manor!

“Stone Skin!” the master yelled, using a Blood Witchcraft.

This caused his skin to quickly turn hard and become a gray-white color. After he was hit, he was thrown directly into the fountain pool that was in the garden. His bones were broken and his body was bent in a very strange position, but he was still alive.

At that moment, a figure rushed down from the broken wall and stood in front of the manor master, grabbing his head and lifting him out of the fountain. The figure then said to the master, “You are so cruel! Now, tell me... What did you see in Yala?”

The master kept spitting out blood as he looked at him and begged, “It was a demigod... One that was ready to ascend the throne and become a god of the Divine Kingdom. We helped the Moonlight Elves and established friendships with them! The demigod gave me an amulet. It’s in...”

At this time, the master’s face suddenly changed, growing quite fierce!

“No!” The head of the Church of True God immediately roared, but it was too late.

A green leaf glittered on the master’s chest, melting the dark red cloaks of the men in its intense, glowing light.

“This is the power of a divine incantation!”

“It’s not the Church of Light, the priests of the underworld, nor the Holy Knights. What is it?”

“Save us!”

The men in the cloaks screamed, while the light that was melting their cloaks gradually revealed their true appearances. Their skin was grainy and rough like soil, and their bodies swiftly sprouted a large number of tentacles and claws. But, they couldn’t move, and one by one, they gradually melted into a puddle of mud!

However, their leader became a true monster! His hands morphed into innumerable tentacles, and although his body had melted a great deal, it still was able to support him.

“You asked for it!” the monster shouted at the manor master as he set the master on fire!

This devil’s flame swallowed up the master little by little, and his consciousness was gradually burned into ashes. After that, the leader of the Church of True God regained his human form, bit by bit, then picked up the green leaf, which had now lost its power.

——————–

As the ships that had gone to the mainland of Yala began to return, they encountered many incidents. As a result, a large number of people were kidnapped or killed. Some of these people panicked and sought protection, while others disclosed what they knew in order to save their lives.

Jonathan and many of his crew members were also involved. But, as Marina had received news of these incidences, she promptly helped to protect both Jonathan and his family by all means that she could.

As Tephis was the base of the alchemists and the Akkad Alchemy College was located here, there were always many powerful alchemists gathered here. Therefore, those who were closely watching Jonathan in secret, who now knew that Marina was on his side, dared not make any moves.

The central province, the Sumerian Kingdom

An old man with scars on his face met several men from the Sean City-State Alliance in a secret room in the palace. The scarred face man was the founder of the Church of True God, Heckfoss.

At this time, he had secretly also become the real master of the Sumerian kingdom. This meant that he was now a powerful demon warlock!

“The rumor was true!” Heckfoss’ face was full of excitement as he exclaimed. “Semigod! Half divine!”

When he said these words, a crazed, greedy look appeared on his face. He then cackled before asking, “Is there really a way to become a god? Ha-ha-ha, if so, I also have the chance to become a god, thus becoming the master of all sentient beings!”

Besides Heckfoss and the Church of True God, wizards, kings and nobles, as well as all of the forces hiding in the dark, and even the Church of Light were all aware of this news. As such, they were making their moves from the dark shadows.

“Go to Yala, as there lay the secrets of becoming a god.”

“At all costs, we must get there ahead of the others.”

“The secret of becoming a god is finally before us!”

Everyone was in a mad rush, as they were all eager to touch the realm of the gods with their mortal bodies. After all, becoming an immortal god and controlling all of the world’s living beings was enough to make any person risk everything!

Thus, countless ships set sail towards Yala, all of which were filled with powerful people.
