    At this moment, he was no longer simply reading the text in the diary but was also immersed in Kazaar''s perspective from a thousand years ago.


    The ce Kazaar wanted to investigate now was called Stillwater Prison.


    This term was not the first time Reji had heard it.


    Back in Syndicate when he encountered the beastmen of the Animal Gang, he had also heard the term Stillwater Prison from the beastman leader Kitsune.


    Now Kazaar''s memory supplemented the historical origins of this prison for Reji.


    Stillwater Prison.


    It was established by the Radiant Saintess Freya after the Human-Demon War.


    The original intention of establishing this prison ording to the Saintess''s words in Kazaar''s memory was to carry out post-war liquidation.


    To imprison those human traitors who had sided with the demon race during the Human-Demon War or those extremely evil people who took advantage of the chaos tomit crimes everywhere and profit from it awaiting judgment.


    This proposal was basically agreed upon by the 42 Heropanions at the time.


    They even provided arge amount of resources to help the Saintess.


    However no one could have imagined.


    In the future no… Just a few short yearster this prison would be their own tomb.


    Kazaar sneaked all the way to the prison entrance using Advanced Invisibility Spell. The ce was heavily guarded with various detection spells everywhere.


    Many of the Saintess''s Radiant Soldiers patrolled continuously 24 hours a day. In terms of defensive strength it was even more stringent than a fortress.


    This was understandable after all those imprisoned here were all extremely vicious. Kazaar still didn''t think much of it when he arrived here and continued to infiltrate deeper using the Advanced Invisibility Spell.


    After all Kazaar was Malvin''s senior disciple. In terms of magical attainment he was actually even better than Reji as the Hero. After all Reji in theter stages took the warrior route with the strongest individualbat ability in order to solo the demon race.


    He easily deceived those detection magics and used Knock Spell to break open the heavily sealed and locked prison gate. Finally Kazaar sessfully infiltrated the interior of the prison but...


    The first scene he saw upon entering directly made Kazaar''s pupils tremble.


    Unlike the strict and orderly defense on the surface the interior of the prison was a mess. Not a single jailer could be seen because here in the dark and damp Stillwater Prison there were...


    Monsters roaming around.


    Yes that''s right monsters.


    A kind of monster Kazaar had never seen before.


    They were definitely not magical beasts.


    They wereposed of wriggling flesh.


    From the outline one could still vaguely see their human form from when they were alive.


    But the vast majority had already been distorted and mutated into grotesque bloody creatures that were horrifying just to look at.


    This scene alone was not enough to make Kazaar''s pupils tremble to that extent.


    After all he had experienced the brutal Human-Demon War.


    His psychological endurance was already very strong.


    What truly made Kazaar suddenly find it difficult to breathe was...


    "Ka"


    "Ka-zaar... ugh"


    "Zaa Ka-zaar..."


    Reji was now under Kazaar''s first-person perspective at the time.


    One of the roaming bloody monsters seemed to have noticed him. It turned its head and stared straight at him.


    Its nose which had already mutated into lumps of tumors sniffed in his direction. Then as if stimted by something it actually opened its mouth and called out his name in a hoarse voice!?


    What?


    It... recognized me?


    Reji could feel Kazaar''s surprised inner thoughts. And the next moment when the monster crawled towards him on all fours with a twisted gait due to the intense movement it exposed a pair of wings on its back that might not have been fully mutated yet...


    Not only were Kazaar''s pupils trembling but even Reji who was watching the memory now was the same.


    The wings on the bloody monster''s back were as crystal-clear and beautiful as a butterfly''s.


    Completely different from the ugly and bloated lumps of flesh now.


    The stark contrast formed a sharp difference.


    And Kazaar knew Reji was even clearer that pair of butterfly crystal wings was a symbol of identity. Only after flower and grass spirits evolved to the extreme could such a noble symbol be born.


    And there should only be one "lower Fairy in this world.


    Just in the time Kazaar was stunned the bloody monster had already crawled to the front.


    Although it was still calling out Kazaar''s name with its mouth it might be more like a residual instinct. When it got close it directly attacked Kazaar as if wanting to devour him and turn him into a part of the lumps of flesh on its body.


    Kazaar who hade back to his senses immediately fought back for self-preservation. But after this exchange he found that although the monster looked ugly its strength was incredibly powerful. Even he who was at the 8th tier was unable to capture it alive for a moment.


    Left with no choice Kazaar had to give up in order not to let the monster make a biggermotion. He was also reluctant to make a fatal move so he used Blink Step to sh to a distant shadow.


    The bloody monster having lost its target gradually returned to calmness seeming a bit confused again.


    Kazaar hiding in the dark could even feel a hint of sadness from the monster.


    Afterwards the monster dragging the lumps of flesh on its body continued to wander aimlessly in the prison like it did at the beginning. The only addition might be the asional murmurs of "Kazaar Kazaar".


    What exactly happened here?


    And what was going on with that monster?


    Kazaar was unwilling to face a certain possibility that came to his mind until he crossed the area of the bloody monsters and reached the deeperyers of Stillwater Prison.


    Here Kazaar finally saw human figures.


    They were prisoners bound and tied to iron cross stakes in cages.


    However these people were not at all the traitors from the Human-Demon War or some extremely evil thugs.


    On the contrary.


    Many of them Kazaar had heard of seen and even knew.


    Among them were schrs full of wisdom.


    There were masters in the field of magic.


    There were wise and outstanding kings as well as sect masters who pioneered martial arts...


    The more Kazaar explored the more shocked he became.


    Because the prisoners here without exception were all elites of human society. They were outstanding figures in almost every field. They were the former heroes.


    However it was precisely these people who should have been the most precious talents in rebuilding civilization after the great war who could lead human society to continue progressing. Now they were all bound by cold iron chains tied to crosses and imprisoned in this endless Stillwater Prison.


    To be able to capture talents all over the world even if Kazaar wanted to believe otherwise it was futile. Only one person could do this.


    It was also the creator of this prison.


    The Saintess Freya.


    Kazaar realizing this point recalled the frequent news of hispanions'' "fall" being arrested by the Saintess. Only then did he suddenly wake up with cold sweat on his back.


    Could it be could it be that everyone was actually framed?


    Freya could secretly arrest human elites but for the 42 former Heropanions because their prestige and influence were too great even the Saintess couldn''t do it quietly so she could only use this method?


    Wait...


    Then where was the Hero!?


    And why did Freya do this?


    Reji could feel the chaotic thoughts of Kazaar in the memory at this moment. And just then a faint call came from a nearby cell.


    "Is... is that you? Kazaar..."
