----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The white light dimmed revealing the landscape around, Lucifer and the girls appeared in the center of a village. The experts didn`t give a glance as they appeared, to them it was a normal occurrence after one ascended.

The shops in the village were made of mana stones better than the ones found in the Fragment realm. Lucifer and the girls confronted a young male expert to gather information of their location. The expert was compelled to speak after he noticed Lucifer`s aura. From the information they had gathered, the mystical realm was one huge continent, it was 20 times bigger than the continents of the fragment realm combined.

The continent was large enough that it took several millenniums to reach its borders depending on the expert. However, the climate was abnormal in this realm as it changed constantly. The Mystical realm also had dungeons but experts who weren`t especially strong would stay away from them because of the swarms of dangerous core beasts within.

However, strong experts would sometimes form parties to explore them. If the party was competent they could find extremely pure attribute cores and artifacts of varying levels.

After the expert explained the basics he immediately left afraid of getting in trouble. Lucifer and the girls reached a nearby tavern, upon entering it, Lucifer could sense a handful of Alpha rankers mixed in with the crowd. At the counter, a man in his mid-forties passed them a set of keys after Lucifer handed him some gold coins.

Their room was on the next floor, as they entered the room it had multiple beds with a connected bathroom. Sadly, there was no kings sized bed for them all to fit on.

The girls taking a bath and cleansing themselves instantly set cultivating. Lucifer left the tavern heading for the nearest bookstore. The youngster owning the store pleasantly recommended Lucifer a set of books that would be helpful for him to get more knowledgeable o this realm. Lucifer had suppressed his aura to that of a Vizier rank before he left the tavern. So he experts would not be too pressurized by his presence or they might give him false information.

The books were mostly on the villages, various clans and sects which commanded the regions of the mystical realm, As well, as a few books detailing the different types of minerals and herbs which can be found in this realm. He also bought several maps in case of emergencies.

Arriving back into his room, he seat by the window; seeping some herbal tea while storing the information in his mind palace. He scanned Silia and the girl’s auras and found them at the beginning stages of the Justicar rank. For the past months, Tetra hadn`t communicated with him even once at he found that strange.

Storing the information took a few moments, at once he sensed two large auras floating above the village. They repeatedly clashed against each other, sending essence shock-waves from their collisions. Anyone below the Vizier rank in the village toppled dead from the release of the waves. The streets were dyed in red due to a handful of experts exploding.

Their items were looted quickly by the experts around; Lucifer had enclosed the girls in mana shield so they not would suffer from the effects. The Alpha ranked experts were extremely fast and Lucifer could sense that they wielded multiple artifacts causing their power to surpass the average Alpha rankers.

The battle ended as soon as one of them was stabbed by the other with a violet sabre. The space splintered as the man jabbed it into his opponent`s body. Torrents of lighting essence passed into the opponent charring him to death, the man then retrieved the victim’s artifacts and items and faded into the horizons.

Lucifer had observed the man to be extremely adept in lighting essence and had noticed the benefits of having a single attribute core. However, his pool contained fragments of each attribute essence beside light essence. He couldn`t understand why this change had occurred to his body.

Ten days passed before Silia hit the mid stages of the Justicar rank, she was quick in progressing because she had stayed back in the fragment realm because of her mother`s injuries otherwise she would have reached the Alpha rank even quicker based on her talents. However, Emelia and Clarice were slow in their progress being stuck at the beginning stages of the Justicar rank still.

Lucifer`s body alteration did wonders to his body; the black ooze went dormant so he had to rely on body alteration as it caused his body to grow stronger and wider. His age looked around 21 or so, the tavern`s income rose with his appearance as female experts would often come to see him.

He had become a kind of a celebrity in the village; he would often hear remarks directed him such as” Play boy, Fag” and such. More experts got pissed off because of his wives who would tag along with him.

Lucifer and the girls stayed in the village for over two months gathering information on the dark parts of the continent. Species trafficking,, slavery, organ donation was also prevalent in the mystical realm. Alchemist Experts would also create drugs and sell them, which could be used for many purposes.

Many experts eyed his wives often; Lucifer could feel their Lecherous gazes on them and set to fix it but was stopped by Emelia. Lucifer and the girls after their period of stay in the village headed off to “Trigon city”. It was a place similar to a black market; Lucifer thought it was the best place to hone the girls in their killing intent and for him to gain some more artifacts.

Due to the continent being extremely large their travel time to the city took a period of 7 months. They had almost spent a year in the mystical realm. Along the way they had encountered a female expert who was ascending to the divine realm, her presence was astonishingly powerful.

Around her a dozen of Vizier ranked familiars gathered, prepared for an attack, Lucifer and the girls looking at her left because he didn`t sense any killing intent towards him, heading towards the direction of the city. There was constant bloodshed experts were constantly fighting for each other’s attribute cores and items.

Lucifer and the girls also passed by a canyon, within it mountains of experts bodies were piled up. Upon the piles several core beasts were munching on their flesh. The expert’s corpses all had their chests hollow where their attribute cores were placed. The Mystical realm was a dark place and the only means of survival was constant killing.

Several low ranked experts came to assault Lucifer and the girls as they saw him pass by, but they felt the blood in their bodies twist and rupture as they got close to him. After seeing their comrades bodies explode they instantly retreated, Emelia and Clarice puked as they still didn`t get used to the gore but Silia was fine with it, she seemed to inwardly enjoy it.

Arriving in the trigon city had the shady atmosphere; Slaves were being dragged around in chains by experts. Drugs were being sold, and experts were slaughtered in the middle of the streets. Using body alteration, Lucifer changed his physical appearance to a man of 28 years of age before entering. Lucifer had plans in this city so changing his appearance was a must.

Emelia and Clarice were hesitant to enter the city, looking at the filth but Lucifer told them,” Only in the most filthiest of places can you hone your killing intent”

The girls with resolve stepped in, along the way male experts licked their tongues as they eyed them. A handful of them attacked Lucifer on the spot, with their weapons but as they got close to him their bodies twisted and the exploded, blood spraying out everywhere.

Lucifer and the girls entered a nearby hotel before renting a room with a king sized bed under Silia`s and the girls persuasion. The night was extremely fervent as the girls and Lucifer sunk into intimacy. From the other rooms they could hear loud noises as they dwelled in their own passions.
