Azell’s party left the mountain peak of Laus, and they started moving in earnest after 10 days .

The leaders of the Plain of Darkness became very frustrated when this occurred .

It wasn’t too hard to locate them .  They just needed to ascertain the location of the Vitan’s Chalice to find them .  

Moreover, they didn’t have to be worried about it being a trap .  They confirmed on three occasions that the tracking ability was working perfectly .

However, they couldn’t catch up to Azell’s party .

“It really makes one shudder .  I never expected them to move in this manner… . . . . ”

Kieren, who was the successor of Dragon Demon general Baldazark, mumbled to himself .

Azell’s party moved as if they didn’t have a destination in mind .

Azell’s party was already moving at a transcendent speed, but now they were going all over the place .  They looked as if they were going in one direction, yet they suddenly changed direction in the opposite direction .  The Plain of Darkness couldn’t catch up to them .

The Road of Emptiness wasn’t all-powerful .  The waypoints were fixed, and the number of people it could transport was limited .

Basically, the Plain of Darkness couldn’t predict the path taken by Azell’s party, so they couldn’t concentrate their forces in one place .  On top of that… .

“Eight locations were destroyed in just 10 days… . . . ”

Niberis was facing him, and she couldn’t believe the report she was reading .

She didn’t know why, but… .  No, Azell’s party definitely had a hand in doing this .  The Guardian Shadows had changed up their fighting style .

Until now, the Guardian Shadows had reacted in a strictly defensive manner .  When Dragon Demon king worshippers were detected, the Guardian Shadows would intercept them in a defensive move .

However, the Guardian Shadows had completely flipped to take an offensive approach .  When the route of Azell’s party was predicted, the Plain of Darkness mobilized to send troops towards them .  However, the nearest waypoints were destroyed before that could happen .  It was done by the members of the Guardian Shadows organization and several hundred Guardian Shadows .  

It was like Kairen and Beorein within the Rulain kingdom .  Each kingdom possessed members that were part of the Guardian Shadow’s organization .  Moreover, all of them were skilled fighters .  The Dragon Demon king worshippers couldn’t take them lightly .  These members led over 100 Guardian Shadows to attack the waypoints .  There was no way the Plain of Darkness could defend against it

Moreover…… .

“The information regarding the forgotten techniques have been spread amongst them .  I’m sure of it . ”

Kieren’s face hardened as he spoke .

Not all of their forces were completely wiped out in the fight against the Guardian Shadows .  Some had run away with their lives intact .

This report was the result of gathering all accounts from the survivors .  The Plain of Darkness realized that their advantage in skill over the rest of the world was diminishing .



The organization called the Guardian Shadows were contacting strong people in each nation, and they were given key points to the forgotten techniques .  

To be precise, the information was being delivered even at this moment .

“White Sword Count Rakadi of the Liros kingdom .  It is true that he is a very skilled, but he wasn’t at a level where he could take out two of our senior officers by himself . ”

Rakadi was like Kairen .  He was a Dragon Majin, yet he was a lord of a human kingdom .  He was the count in the Liros kingdom .

He was a very skilled Dragon Arts practitioner, and he was given the nickname of the White Sword Count .  The loss of his parents at the hands of the Plain of Darkness had made him join the Guardian Shadows .  All the members of the Rakadi tribe were very skilled, so the Plain of Darkness had paid special attention to them .

This was why they had a lot of information regarding Rakadi tribe .  However, in the recent attack at the waypoint of the Road of Emptiness, the Rakadi tribe’s power greatly exceeded the assessment made by the Plain of Darkness .

It didn’t mean that the Rakadi tribe had learned and used the forgotten techniques in such a short amount of time .

They were like the Dragon Sword Count Kairen of Tarantos .  They might have lost their techniques, but aside from this fact, they had cultivated scary amount of skill .  Their resistance became much stronger just from knowing what kind of techniques were being used by the elite troops of the Plain of Darkness .  

Niberis spoke .

“However, they aren’t the true problem . ”

“…yes . ”

Kieren threw down the report as he let out a sigh .

“Great sinner Azell Karzark . ”

In the past 10 days, eight waypoints to the Road of Emptiness was destroyed .

Azell had personally destroyed four of them .

“The Sky Splitter, Storm Dragon’s Wing, Crying Phoenix… . .  Each and every one of them are ridiculous Dragon weapons . ”

It was true that the ability of Azell’s party to travel was ridiculous .  Each member were capable of moving quickly, yet they were using Vitan’s Chalice at strategic moments to travel a great amount of distance .  

On the other hand, Azell’s ability to move was incomprehensible from a common sense point of view .  The Storm Dragon’s Wing’s gave him speed equal to a flying dragon, and he was able to move fly freely through air .  Moreover, he could locally control the pressure to create violent gales .

The Crying Phoenix was the only Dragon weapon that was capable of fighting by itself .  Its battle capabilities changed depending on how much power its owner possessed .  However, if the legends were to be believed, this weapon was scary in the hands of Azell .  It was as if a Dragon that possessed wisdom was using its magic .

One of the terrifying abilities of this Dragon weapon was its mobility .  Even if the owner was asleep , it could move through the air with its owner in tow .

The Plain of Darkness couldn’t find a solution to this problem .

They could only defeat Azell’s party if they concentrated their elite troops in one place .  However, Azell’s party wasn’t giving them the opportunity to do so .

“We are taking way too much loss when compared to their loss . ”

It wasn’t as if the Plain of Darkness was being beaten unilaterally .  They were causing the continent to fall into chaos, and they induced the fight between human nations .  Humans were suffering under self-inflicted wounds .  The Guardian Shadows were trying to put this matter to rest, but the side had been split .  It would be difficult for them to stitch up the situation .



Moreover, the Guardian Shadows weren’t winning in overwhelming fashion .

“The fact that our side can’t win if we don’t step forward means that the situation is serious . ”

The Plain of Darkness had reacted to the their opponent’s moves .  They had dispatched elite troops at each waypoint, and when a battle occurs, they would sent more troops as support .

Niberis and Kieren had been inserted into this place, and they were able to defeat the Guardian Shadows .  The members of the Guardian Shadows were strong, but they were helpless against two Dragon Majins using their powerful Dragon weapons .

“Laura…… . ”

Niberis mumbled to herself .  Her words carried anger .

Why did their enemies know all the waypoints to the Road of Emptiness?

The answer was obvious .  Laura knew where all the waypoints were located at .

Kieren spoke .

“This is a very serious problem . ”


“You don’t have to tell me it is a problem .  I already know . ”

“That isn’t what I meant . ”

At his words, Niberis glared at Kieren .  She had an ill-humored expression on her face .  However, Kieren was serious .

“Our enemies know our secret .  Moreover, they are attacking us with all their might .  That is serious in itself, but that is not what we should be truly fearing right now . ”

“What are you trying to say?”

“Niberis… .  After the Dragon Demon war ended, this is the first time we’ve fought a defensive battle . ”

“What?”

“We were always the one to attack .  We just had to demonstrate that the defense set up by our enemies were faulty . ”

The Plain of Darkness hadn’t been fighting a war .

One was either defending an established structure or one was attacking .  

Which one was more difficult?

Of course, it was more difficult to defend than attack .

The Plain of Darkness didn’t possess the power to wage an all out war against the world, so they always attacked from the darkness .

“Until now, the Guardian Shadows had been the barrier protecting the world .  It was sturdy, but in the end, it was only a barrier . ”

However, their roles had been flipped now .

Until now, the Plain of Darkness didn’t even reveal their castle wall, which could be attacked .  The Plain of Darkness was a fortress blessed with natural barriers for defense .  Even if they lost a head-on battle with humanity, they could come back to the Plain of Darkness .  It would be difficult to wipe out the Dragon Demon king worshippers .

This was why they were able to survive through the Dragon Demon war .  In the first place, it was impossible to lead a large force into the Plain of Darkness without using the Road of Emptiness .

“However, our castle wall is exposed now .  If we lose our castle wall, we lose the power to fight against the world . ”

Niberis felt a chill run up her spine when she heard Kieren’s insight .  She finally understood the problem he was pointing out .

The Dragon Demon king’s army had always been conquerors and invaders .  After coming to the Plain of Darkness, they had never been in the defensive position .  

Now they were required to take on that role .

However, the two of them still didn’t realize something .  Azell’s party had something more critically damaging than what the two of them had observed .

5

Dragon Demon princess Arrieta and Dragon Demon prince Seigar had stopped the 2nd Grand Alliance of Darkness .  After resolving the situation in the Balan forest, they were given an extended vacation .

However, their vacation didn’t last long .  It had become a bit less heated, but there was a war going on with the Liros kingdom .  Arrieta and Seigar was expecting an order to enter into the battle occurring along the eastern border . .

The two of them expected a call from their mother, the Dragon Demon Queen Lier .

However… .

“You are?”

Seigar became surprised when he ran into this person at Lier’s palace .  He went into his battle stance, and at the same time, he realized he had made a mistake .

‘I should have brought my long sword!’

He hade been called into the palace by his mother, so he hadn’t armed himself .  Moreover, Seigar’s weapon was a large and heavy weapon .  This was why he didn’t carry it around outside of battles .

At that moment, Seigar regretted that fact .

His opponent possessed blond hair, and amethyst-like eyes .  She was a Dragon Demon girl with curved horns that looked to be crafted out of amethyst .  She was beautiful like a doll .  From Seigar’s perspective, he could never forget this expressionless girl .

“Laura Ausaurus……!”

She was the Dragon Demon magician that handed him an appalling defeat in the Dukedom of Tarantos .

“Everyone run away!”

Seigar stepped in front of his servants as he shouted .

“Noonim!  I’ll hold her off here .  Please go to mother!”

He had a heroic expression on his face as he unfolded his Dragon Demon magic .

He wasn’t armed, but he was skilled enough to rip apart several dozen regular soldiers with his bare hands .  Unlike before, he had learned the forgotten techniques, so he’ll be able to buy some time against her .

“Wait a moment, Seigar . ”

However, Arrieta held him back .  She stepped in front of Seigar, who was letting out an imposing presence .  She noticed that something was off with Laura’s attitude .

“I don’t know who she is, but she isn’t showing any signs of hostility . ”

“Mmm……!”

Seigar also felt this .  Like Arrieta, he had received the forgotten techniques from Azell, which included the Gaze Detection technique .

Laura spoke .

“It is as he said . ”

“Who are you talking about?”

“He said the Dragon Demon prince will blindly try to fight me, and the Dragon Demon princess will calmly assess the situation .  I don’t like admitting this, but it seems he is a teacher that knows his students quite well…… . ”

“You are talking about my teacher?”

“That’s right . ”

At that moment, Kairen appeared from behind Laura .  When they saw him, Arrieta and Seigar became confused .

“Teacher?  What is going on?”

Seigar remained tense as he spoke .  His revered teacher was in front of him, but he couldn't comprehend the situation .

‘Is he perhaps an enemy disguised as my teacher?’

It caused him to question such a scenario .

Kairen smirked .

“I commend you for being wary, but I really am your teacher Kairen Tarantos . ”

“You are quite silly .  You roped me into doing this boring prank . ”

Laura grumbled as she turned away .  She completely ignored the situation as she walked towards the inner palace;

Arrieta and Seigar still had no idea what was going on .  Kairen spoke to the confused two people .

“I came here, because I need both your help .  The king have already given me permission .  Follow me . ”
