Chapter 136

In a desolate black castle, devoid of any light and emitting an ominous aura, there were two figures inside its biggest hall, one was sitting on a throne made of bones and the other was bending the knee to the one in front of him .

The one sitting on the throne had a blurry figure and no facial features, he strangely wore a black suit and was angrily tapping his finger on the throne’s edge .

As for the servant, it was a humanoid figure with two dark and wide feathery wings and a horn sticking out of his forehead, he was Belos, ’X’’s most trusted subordinate .

"Argh! This is getting more and more troublesome . "

Bad news came one after another, he didn’t even have enough time to deal with one, much less two or three . Belos was annoyed as always, for his master is complaining here instead of taking the necessary measures for the upcoming catastrophe .

"Master! Please take this seriously . The other parties have already announced their truce and even the Overgod of Light has stepped down, the only one remaining is you . "

"I know I know . . . what about Earth, is there any good news?"

Remembering the small planet he visited to get Arthur, ’X’ became angrier and he couldn’t help but cough mouthfuls of black blood . His mouth couldn’t be seen, neither his face but black blood still came out of his unclear face .

"Nothing . The God we sent didn’t spot Arthur and the only strange this is the appearance of the dungeons . They were most likely put there by the System . "

"Ah! The System and its weird plotting! Last time I sneaked in their property, that lazy old bastard almost killed me, I didn’t even disturb anyone yet they are so aggressive . Talk about strict! *Cough* "

Belos didn’t know why his master was so persistent on getting Arthur, sure, the orb was a priceless treasure but it’s not worth provoking the System, not worth at all!

He kept his thoughts to himself and waited for his master to give orders .

"Go and announce that we’ll be stepping down too . We’re abandoning this place too, I can’t fight ’them’ with my current state, we better hide and wait for it to pass . "

"As you command!"

Belos vanished from the hall and left ’X’ alone in the vast and gloomy hall . You could only hear the angry tapping of ’X’ as he thought about the rising problems and how his luck is getting worse after he met Arthur .

’If I had that orb . . . no calamity or person would be able to stop me . . . . ’

Just thinking about the precious orb that he spent countless years creating it and now it inside a mere mortal made him feel bitter and depressed, maybe it was foolish to put it inside a subject in the first place?I

In the Underworld, the strong factions had suddenly united and the leaders are currently facing each other and are discussing an important matter .

Granny Shishu and Jizung in a side and facing them were Kilan and Aborak . Jizung dropped in Grade but he was barely able to join this meeting, his position dropped and his influence decreased by a lot, his clan has already become a second-grade Clan as most of his elders were obliterated by Arthur and Lissandra is still missing .

"Are you sure about this, Lich King?"

Granny Shishu had sent several elders to search for Miya but to no avail, she wanted to personally search but this sudden matter popped out of nowhere and she had to halt the search for now . She didn’t totally believe in legends as she was not an original citizen of the Underworld so she doubted Aborak’s words .

"You may not know this but the last time the Behemoth woke up is ten thousand years ago and it was only to defeat the calamities . Since then, it has been slumbering and didn’t bother with the disputes in the Underworld . You heard its howl a week ago and if it woke up then something is coming, there is no doubt . "

With his two lifeless eyes pulsing with purple light and his cold tone, Aborak explained the situation as he gazed at the South where the Abyss Valley . Kilan also had a grim face and a furrowed brows instead of his usual creepy smile, it was apparent that he was in a bad mood and the matter was not just a joke .

"But isn’t it the Underworld a . . . . "

Before Jizung could finish, Granny Shishu glared at him indicating that he should shut up and refrain from saying unnecessary things .

Far to the South, in the secluded palace, where the meditating middle-aged usually stayed, there was currently a large purple beast, the beast was so big to the point that you could see it from hundreds of miles away . It had one missing leg and a huge burn mark on its belly all the way to its neck .

The middle-aged man from before was standing on the beast’s head and staring at the starry sky with a complicated look .

"One strange thing after another . . . it has only been ten thousand years yet you’re so impatient to act . . . . it’s not going to work . . . it’s not enough, not in the slightest . . . "

The beast roared loudly, shaking the ground and creating a thunderstorm which raged and spread around all the Abyss Valley .

It has been a few days since Delia came back and recounted what happened to Lucy, who only nodded and didn’t comment, she didn’t even ask her what the old man looked like which confused Delia .

But less work meant more relaxing time for her, she completely forgot about Snory and resumed drinking and enjoying the high-end life .

Usui kept visiting every day but he would be rejected at the front door, he thought that his honest confession would allow him to enter the house at least but Lucy became even colder toward him, with a sigh, he could only turn back and leave every time the door was slammed in his face .

A week passed yet Lucy didn’t go to the dungeon, Saku contacted her but Lucy only said that she’s taking a break and they are free to enter the dungeon if they want . They earned enough money to live their lifetimes in happiness so why would they enter the dungeon on their own? They earned fame, good items, and money so unless Lucy comes with them, they aren’t courageous enough to deal with higher floors .

Today too, Usui came in but was told to leave by Delia who mercilessly threw him out using her Holy Magic . The poor young man didn’t even resist, with dirtied clothes and a sad expression, he bowed at Delia who was smirking when she saw his trashed attire and then he left dejectedly .

Delia just slammed the door and was going to the balcony when the ringing sound was heard again, her first and only guess was that Usui came back again .

The door was opened abruptly and just as Delia was going to throw him out of the balcony, she was met with an old man with a pajama .

It was Snory, unlike his usual sleepy and lazy expression, his face had a serious expression and he didn’t seem to be here just to joke around .

Since he knocked and didn’t barge in, Delia was not bold enough to kick him and be stuck fighting living pillows so she coughed and forced smile as she let him .

. . . .

Five years passed since Lucy and co arrived on Earth . On a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean, a black whirlpool materialized slowly until it was the size of a small bus . The black whirlpool didn’t spin for a long time, only for a couple of minutes and it only vanished when a couple of figures appeared .

The most noticeable one was Arthur, with long gray hair . His appearance was a bit different as he had only one eye opened, the left one had a sword-scar . He was holding Makaze, the dark katana but it was half its original size and it seemed to be broken .

Taking a breath of fresh air, Arthur looked at his surroundings and commanded with a cold and domineering tone

"Disperse, search for it . "

The first who acted was Astrith, who was way bigger and was no longer a blue wolf but was jet black with two red eyes .

"This one obeys . "

The wolf transformed into a black shadow that disappeared into the horizon .

"As you wish . "

"Hai Hai! I’m on it . "

Several other figures followed after Astrith and went on ahead . The only ones left are Arthur and a short Loli girl who resembled a Doll, she had long black hair that reached the ground and was holding a white teddy bear .
