Chapter 451: 451
A few days later, Arsene returned to Thanatos Island .
When they heard of his return, Nestar, who was half asleep, went to meet him without even dressing properly .
“You have come, Ancestor?”
“Yes . ”
Nestar and the other warlocks smiled at the blunt response from Arsene .
Nestar carefully asked, “Since you didn’t contact us, we were all wondering . If something happened over…”
“Kul . Tired . I’ll . Tell . You . Later . ”
When Arsene immediately avoided answering the question, Nestar became more curious .
However, Arsene’s mood seemed to be bad, so he decided to wait until he was called privately .
And the next day…
Arsene called for Nestar .
“Undead . Test . Was . A success . However . Lost . Everything . That . I took . ”
“Huh? How did that even happen?”
Nestar, who was shocked, got up from his seat .
It was because the undead, which Arsene had taken with him, were strong enough to erase an entire nation .
Arsene explained to him everything that happened at the Zegal Clan .
“Well… so, Marquis Luke had been to the Southern Continent and learned dark magic?”
“Kul . It is . More . Shocking . Than . Anything . Else . For . Him . To learn . Dark . Magic . And to . Be on . Par with . Me . ”
“If so, then he must surely have the legacy of Saymon in his hands . ”
“Yes . His . Estate . Has . The . Devil . King’s Castle . which . Belonged to . Saymon . There . Is a . possibility . For . Him . To . Have it . ”
In fact, the warlocks had long been anticipating that there might be a dark magic book that belonged to Saymon in the Devil King’s castle .
That was why Arsene had tried to get the Devil King’s Castle under him by using Terin, the manager of the Alon Chamber .
Surely, it was more important for Arsene to establish the mana field below the castle than the legacy as it wasn’t certain if the castle really held the legacy or not .

“Anyway . That, Luke . Destroyed . Undead . I made . But . Not my opponent . The problem . Is . Nanda . ”
“Nanda?”
Nestar was confused by the name that he was hearing for the first time .
“A monk . From . The Arahan . Has . Skills . Which . I never . Heard . Of . ”
The moment Nanda came, Arsene got quickly moved to the Northern Ice Region .
Upon hearing Arsene’s words, Nestar seemed surprised .
“Sorry? Isn’t that something that is impossible with white and dark magic?”
No matter how long the teleport would be performed with magic, it was impossible to cross the oceans and continents .
If it had been possible, then the trade between the two continents would have been active a long time ago .
“Right . So . I didn’t . know . About . It . And . I was . Angry . However, I cooled . My head . And found . More . ”
With just one move of his hand, they got sent to a distant place .
And if Nanda acted more, what else could be done?
Nanda said that he hated killing, yet he didn’t have any reason to not defeat Arsene . However, Arsene didn’t believe his words .
Because of that, he couldn’t even retaliate immediately .
“In the . Past . Arahan . Spoke . About . Physical . Pain . Sh*t talks . About letting . Go of desires . Same . As divine . Power . but . Seeing . Directly . It . Is . Different . ”
“Was that the real power of God?”
“Kul . That . Even . I don’t . know . But . Needed . To . Go . To . Bharat . And . Investigate . Arahan . ”
That was why Arsene came back late to Thanatos .
However, Arsene wasn’t able to get any satisfactory information from Bharat .
It was because there were too many things that were lying around about the Arahan doctrines of enlightening one’s self .
Everything spoke about empty vessels and virtual thoughts, and the desires in people’s minds .
“In the . End . This . Is what . Happened . How . I can’t . die through . Dark magic, like that, the ones . With God’s power . too . Have . Weird . Powers . ”

Even after accepting that, Arsene’s mind wasn’t calm .
It was because of the realization that there were people in the world who could interfere with his work; those who could threaten his existence .
After hearing Arsene’s explanation, Nestar gulped .
“Then we need to find a way to win against that enemy . ”
“Obviously, but . first . Need to . Clean . Those . Who . Are trying . To tie . Up my . Legs . ”
Arsene spoke those words with a fierce glance .
“So . First . Target . The descendant . Of Rakan . That, jerk . ”
“Are you talking about Luke de Rakan? He is currently the King of a nation . In addition, he has a strong relationship with the Holy Empire and…”
Nestar tried to speak more . However, Arsene stopped him .
“Even . More . Important . To pull . Out . The weed . Which . Turned . Into a . Thorn . Need . To take . Him . Down . Before the thorn . Grows . ”
Arsene wasn’t stubborn without measures .
He already thought about how he could take him out, and he had a good card in his hands .
“Kul . Kul . Kul, I wonder . How . The . Retainers . Of . Rakan . Would . React . Seeing . It?”
His card was to use the body of Rakan himself .
What would happen if the warrior, Rakan, whom they all worshipped, appeared in front of them?
Maybe a tremendous shock would shake the newly founded Symphonia Kingdom .
“KulKulKulKul!”
Arsene’s cheerful smile filled the room .
