Chapter 460: Flame of Rebellion

A middle-aged man was sitting alone in a large cave . He had a flame in front of him and was roasting a rabbit . The scent of cooked meat lingered in the cave .



"Aren’t you bored with this, Desvidia?" A handsome young man appeared next to the flame .

"It’s not my fault that you lost your ability to taste and smell," Desvidia said . "But I do pity you . "

"What’s the difference? Don’t tell me you still have an appetite . "

"Only animals eat to quell their hunger, Morgan," Desvidia said, shaking his head . "I enjoy the process of making it, the process of eating . I enjoy the taste . Brings me back to the old days . Once in a while, I need to remind myself what warmth and comfort mean . "

"You’re starting to sound like Golman," Morgan said with a laugh . "Why are you doing this yourself?"

Desvidia pursed his lips . The mind magic Anfey released during their fight was so powerful that it cut off all the links he had to the skeleton army . He couldn’t bring the skeletons with him when he fled the city .

"What happened?" Morgan asked, concerned . He could tell there was something bothering Desvidia .

"Do you believe there’s someone who can use all the magic?"

"No," Morgan said, shaking his head .

"I didn’t think so, either," Desvidia said, "until I met him . "

"But that’s impossible," Morgan argued .

"I saw it with my own eyes," Desvidia said . "His control of the elements is incredible . "

"Who are you talking about?"

"Anfey . "

"You went to White Mountain City?" Morgan asked, his eyes wide in shock . "Are you mad?"

Desvidia did not say anything . His eyes did not move away from the fire .

"I heard that Baery had brought Shawn, Dalmatian, Steger, and Ernest to the city," Morgan said . "Scarlet had the three Grand Knights, Jerrick’s force, Manstuly and the elves . Ellisen Empire has a foot in this as well . " Morgan paused, looking at Desvidia sternly . "Haven’t you heard what master said? No matter who wins this, there will be considerable damage to all sides . We need to weaken them enough so they can do nothing about the Throne of Bones . If we disrupt this…none of us can protect you . "

"I’m not trying to do anything," Desvidia said with a shrug . "I’m just curious . I wanted to see if the rumors were true . "

"You just wanted to see," Morgan said mockingly . "You wanted to see so badly you lost your skeletons . "

"It’s not my fault," Desvidia argued . "I wanted to teach them a lesson . "



"And you got a lesson instead," Morgan said, shaking his head .

"Don’t just talk about me!" Desvidia said angrily . "You didn’t find Golman yet, did you? Everyone knows what has happened except for master . If master finds out, can you imagine what will happen?"

Morgan lowered his head . After a few moments of silence, he sighed and sat down next to Desvidia . "You think master doesn’t know?"


"You mean…" Desvidia’s eyes widened . "Then you…" They might argue and fight, but the two of them had been together for hundreds of years . Desvidia was worried for Morgan because of their deep friendship .

"Master won’t do anything," Morgan said . He waved his hand and set up a magic barrier to make sure no one was eavesdropping . "I’m sad because of that . "

"You’re sad that you didn’t get punished," Desvidia said drily .

Morgan nodded . "I think master must have been furious . The worst the punishment, the happier I would be . " Morgan sighed . He picked up a stick and poked the fire . "Do you know what it means if master pretends nothing had happened?"

"What does it mean?"

Morgan bit his lip . "I guess there’s no use keeping this from you," he said . "Before Golman left, he came to me . He said if I let him go and master punished me, he would immediately come back . If master pretends nothing happens, then…"

"Then what?"



"Then that means Golman was right . Master was worried that we think he was furious and he took care of everything . "

"That means… Golman’s right?"

"You know the Land of Repose? Golman had been spying on that place . That is a place of death . New lives will be born from those bones and, like the creatures we have, they will fight and kill until only the most powerful remains . After a few generations, those creatures will become very, very powerful until they gain the most power . The most powerful creature will absorb all lives there and fall asleep again . Then the cycle will repeat . " Morgan paused . "There is no repose in the Land of Repose . Do you want this place to become another Land of Repose?"

"If this becomes the Land of Repose…" Desvidia shuddered . "Master must be that hidden creature . He has repeated this cycle until he becomes more powerful than anything else this the world . More powerful than gods . Then he invades other worlds and creates more Lands of Repose . "

"What are gods, Desvidia?" Morgan asked, shaking his head . "The power of gods derives from their believers . Will they ever invade other worlds?"

"Maybe our world was once invaded by such gods . "

The two of them fell silent . After a few moments, Desvidia said, "Maybe we shouldn’t keep building the throne . "

"No," Morgan said, shaking his head . "Master isn’t a patient person, Desvidia . Golman’s betrayal is already too much . "

"But what can we do?" Desvidia asked . "I wish Golman was here . "

"I’ve already asked him," Morgan said . "He said we should wait . Wait for change . Wait for fate to make a decision . "

"Fate?" Desvidia repeated . "I don’t believe in fate . If I did, I would never have become a necromancer . I would rather die than be absorbed by some strange creature . "

"That goes for all of us," Morgan said . "Can Anfey really use all types of magic?"

"You can go see for yourself," Desvidia said with a shrug .

"You mean there really is Sacred Inheritance?"

"Of course," Desvidia said . "There were so many of them in the past . "

"That was so long ago," Morgan said . "Power in this world is sealed away . There will be no Sacred Inheritance if that seal is still there . Master is the only one . "

"There will be a second one . You and I both know this . "

"No," Morgan said . "Master had already achieved Sacred Inheritance before he died, or else he wouldn’t have been able to fight against the seal, either . If someone can achieve Sacred Inheritance with the seal in place, how powerful will he be once the seal is removed?"

Desvidia sighed . "I don’t know," he said .

"You got me interested now," Morgan said . "But we must wait . We are not powerful enough to defy master . We must be patient and wait . "
