...


    In the huge gxy that seemed to be an endless sea of stars, a small isted crimson pink floated in the immense gctic sea. This was not unknown, just by seeing its color and small size, everyone can understand that it was the where the one and only self-proimed goddess of the subi, Assiaphir Gleph''nir, resides.


    She spent, as always, her boring days maintaining the pce even if it did not really need it and waited there like a little fairytale princess who patiently waited for a valiant knight to take her out of the pce that had locked her up with a sophisticated barrier that even she, the self-proimed goddess of the subi could do nothing. Not because she was not powerful enough but because it was the characteristic of the barrier itself that protects the castle until it identifies and recognizes a new sessor.


    As she continued her nd activities to kill time, the multyered barrier suddenly began trembling fiercely to the point that an earthquake resounded in all the globes of the! An event that had never happened since the disappearance of the former king, her father.


    "What?! What is...?" Her voice, which was full of bitterness, her eyes, which were nd and devoid of excitement and life... began to find their glow! Even though she does not know whether or not it was a good omen, she felt in spite of herself, an unprecedented excitement when she saw this anomaly.


    Without losing another second, her body shed and appeared directly in the throne room; more precisely, before the throne which was made of diamond. Seeing that nothing had changed, she sighed with disappointment and murmured, "Sigh, what did I expect?" She shook her head and went outside to find out the cause of the tremor. But her disappointment was only short-lived when the throne, which was milky white, suddenly began to turn dark ck!


    She stopped suddenly in her steps and looked at the throne with an unbelieving expression with her jaw that seemed to be dislocated. "Just how is this possible? Did the castle recognize someone without giving him any tests?! Am I now starting to have hallucinations?" She wondered while rechecking again and again... the dark throne.


    After an indefinite time, her lips split into a bright and celestial smile apanied by a feeling of overexcitation that made her heart beat at a thousand speeds


    ---


    -DOOMM-


    "Lord, your humble servant, and knight respond as soon as possible to your convocation! Order me, and I will obey. Show me your enemies and they will perish under my de."


    Even if his size had changed slightly and his aura had be denser, just by seeing therge rusty sword he held, Alvine had directly recognized him at first nce. He was the same shadow soldier he had not stopped invoking since he had awakened the powers of the monarch. But for some reason, it seems that its evolution has elerated andpleted rather than expected.


    Without bothering to ask anything, Alvine ced her hand on the soldier''s helmet, who had just evolved to the rank of knight, and said: "Darka. Your name will be Darka from now on."


    Just after his nomination, his magical energy spread in all directions as if he wanted to prove his joy! His previous dark purple pupils were now tinged light purple and shone with intelligence.


    Looking at them in front of him, like a king baptizing his knight, Noddra took this opportunity to prepare his master cards. He could count on the bestial instinct that could tell him when he is a hunter and it is also the same when he bes prey!


    And from the moment he saw Alvine, he could not know if he was the hunter or not since Alvine continued to ignore him stubbornly. But now that he saw Darka, he had the answer to his question; he had never been the bully, but he was intimidated by Alvine.


    Gently preparing his spells, when Alvine had finished Darka''s baptism was also the same time when he had finished all his preparations! When Alvine looked in front of him, he could see Noddra dressed in crimson red full armor and ready to wee him properly.


    Seeing Noddra in this ridiculous and grotesque armor, in azy tone devoid of emotion, he pointed to Noddra and ordered Darka: "Kill this clown, Darka."


    Roughly roaring towards the sky, Darka shed with his big sword and directly erased the distance between him and Noddra.


    Wuuuu!!


    Noddra, who was faithful to his bravery, retreated with horror when he saw the entity showed speed and inconceivable strength. While retreating, he treated some of Darka''s blows while most of them hit his grotesque and abnormally solid armor. The battle between Darka and Noddra had not evensted more than thirty seconds before Alvine called it!


    "Take this weapon." He ordered by giving him a sword simr to its sword but which was of the divine grade! Since he reached holy rank, the system had given him ess to divine weapons and artifacts and since he now knew the truth behind the system, he did not hold his hands he had spent as much SS as he could to buy all kinds of weapons and artifacts.


    When he gave the ck sword, which was about 4 meters long to Darka, instead of letting him fight again against the vampire, he advanced himself with Kimiko in his hands while he gave new orders to Darka to monitor Sylvia.


    For some reason, when he saw that Alvine intended to attack him, his heart could not remain as calm as before. Especially when he saw Alvine take out a white sword that turned directly into ck as if he wanted to harmonize with its owner.


    One step after another, Alvine began to walk slowly towards him before suddenly elerating with a prodigious speed while activating the mes of hell that rolled around Kimiko''s de and directly aimed at his prey''s neck with a Machiavellian smile.


    -quement!!


    When the two des got shocked, Alvine''s smile grew and sent Noddra waltzed by kicking his in her stomach.


    *Cough!<novelnext></novelnext>


    As they were fighting in the air, and he had hit Noddra towards the sky, instead of thetter falling, he rather continued to climb up all up with his sword contaminated by the mes of hell that refused to go out even though he had tried water magic!


    "What... am I losing against a mortal who has not even reached the rank of emperor yet?" Retorted Noddra by wiping the trickle of blood on his lips with a cruel smile, he was angry now.


    Roaring in the sky, he rushed to Alvine who was waiting for him below like a golden meteorite that would soon collide with the earth.


    By the time he was one hundred meters from him, Alvine had once again used his spatial affinity and created a small portal in front of him while controlling a small amount of his blood that merged to form a bloody red sphere and guided the sphere to the portal.


    Most people might find his actions a little strange but Noddra knew he wasn''t doing this for fun!


    ''Shit, users of rare affinities are real problems!'' He says in his thoughts before suddenly stopping in his momentum when he saw dozens of ck portals forming around him! And the worst thing in all this, what Alvine himself had entered one of these portals!


    SWHHH!!


    As everything became calm around him, he suddenly heard the whistling of windsing behind him like a tornado! He didn''t even bother to try to identify the cause of the sudden whistle. Because of his abnormal senses and spiritual sense, he could instinctively know where and when Alvine was attacking him.


    Swhhhhh shhhhh shhhhhhh shhhhhh shhhh


    Attack after attack, he avoided them all without the slightest problem!


    ''Humph, even if he is strong, hisbat experience is too weak topete with me I can hear the rustle of each portal before heunches his attack! Even if the portals move in a disorderly way, I still manage to identify their locations with their rustle. Sigh, It''s almost two minutes, I have to get rid of him before this girl tries to save his life. No matter if he is or is not useful to our queen, I will never ept to be ridiculed by a simple....!!!


    As he ingeniously avoided every Alvine attack, sudden pain passed through his torso! By lowering his head, he could see the ck de of a sword crossing his chest from the back of his back!


    *Koff! Koff!!


    He turned his head with difficulty just to realize that the person who had just stabbed him in the back was none other than Alvine who had just gone out of the portal! "How?!...


    "I told you no? That I was tired of ying with you. Providing false information to prey is the best solution to bait it!" He murmured his words while continuing to push his sword deeper into Noddra''s heart.


    ''This little bastard! He made me believe that he won''t be able to discreetly use the gate while he was just waiting for me to lower my guard to stab me in the back? For how many years have we not set foot in the outside world? *Koff Koff, It''s really be a scary ce if everyone there is like this man.'' He says to Himself with a mysterious smile.


    Seeing his smile, Alvine withdrew his sword and tried to decapitate him as quickly as possible. He had forgotten in an instant the identity of the person he was fighting against! Such a tenacious vampire will certainly not die with a simple hole in his heart!


    But to his surprise, as his sword whistled toward Noddra''s neck, a golden shield suddenly stopped the movements of his sword and Noddra disappeared in front of him at a prodigious speed!


    "This is what will happen when you overestimate yourself because you have simply reached divine rank. The reason I was able to save you is only that even if he can manifest the monarch''s domain, he has no control over this domain." Sylvia''s cid voice thundered behind Alvine as she held Noddra''s foot who had his head upside down. Obviously, it was she who saved Noddra from the hands of Alvine who would wish to behead him!


    Bowing her head like a confused beast, Alvine looked at Sylvia with an inexpressive expression while pointing her bloody sword at her and said to her: "Are you one of the little creatures of this flower? If you interfere with my toys, I kill you even if you have protected me from the beginning.


    "Who are you? You are neither my master nor the monarch of death. So who are you?" Asked Sylvia, frowning in front of the unknown being who seemed to take control of her master''s body.


    "Kukuku, did you finally realize? Do you want answers? So you, who is one of the children of this flower, if you want answers and if you want to have the honor of staying by my side... try to survive against one of my masterpieces." Just after saying these words, his shadow began to waver under his feet followed by a strong agitation of the dark clouds that locked Sylvia and Alvine in the dark dimension!


    As Sylvia''s vision became clearer, she realized that she was no longer on the of the Kelspies! Instead, it was in another dimension that had neither sunlight nor moonlight... absolute darkness. Despite everything, she could strangely see clearly as if it were the day.


    But her prowling eyes lit up with an incredulous glow when she saw someone she thought had been dead for several thousand years! A ck dragon more than thirty meters long was covered with jet ck scales, its two gigantic horns above his head, and its crimson red eyes that shone with a bloody glow.


    "It''s been a long time, little Sylvy.


    ''....!!!


    "How is this possible?!"
