"I'll search upstairs, be careful not to leave any traces or riots." Kendric said by walking up the stairs near a window curtain that dangled a long dark purple.
But the attention of Kendric who wants to climb the stairs must be disturbed when he sees Fedrick does not respond to it and continues to be amazed at something, he followed Fedrick's point of view and before him there was something that seemed not to be a window but a frame of portrait depicting a man.
It's just that the painting is not so perfect because there is a fatal tear on the face in the painting of the figure of the mysterious man.
"Who is he? "
"He is your ancestor. Aratemish Lorddarks, "
Kendric murmured between his gaze that looked flat, without any intention to show his side of interest in the figure of the man who became his father's right hand first.
"Then, how is his face painting in this sacred temple? Especially in Octopus' secret room."
Fedrick's question makes Kendric have to sigh. He went back down the stairs and walked closer to the painting. His fingers touched the shabby paintings that were torn quite deeply, but only in one touch slowly Aratemish face painting returned to perfection.
"I don't know exactly why Octopus put it here. Only, once only Aratemish, the only nation of Darkness World who came and went to Imorrtal as he pleased. It was all because of the blood contract as my father's trusted man, whereas Octopus was the one god who hated his presence the most. It was possible that he perpetuated this shabby painting to remember his hatred for the Demon nation." Kendric pulled back his hand and instantly the painting returned to a broken position so as not to leave a trace.
"I don't think he's a coward. But, I like-Octopus should have been afraid of our nation."
"Your sin is wrong, the true-Octopus should have been afraid of the Lord of the Demon nation."
"Master?" Fedrick looked confused and a few seconds later he frowned while looking resentfully at Kendrick who was back up the stairs. "Hey! I told you, you're not the master we need to submit to or admit to. "
"really? You argue very skilfully, I'll take it as your pledge of allegiance to me." Kendric mocked Fedrick.
His! Doesn't it matter to hit him once? I don't think Lucy would know either. Fedrick's increasingly upset with this one god. "Quick move, we don't have much time." Shouted Kendric from upstairs.
The two of them searched every corner, every shelf, every document, even every research tube scattered randomly within the magic research room. Not much they found was only a small portion of the document about making dark magic that was used to brainwash holy spirits.
Kendric, who was dissatisfied, went back to researching very carefully - paying attention to every shape or thing that stuck in the room. He was sure that there must be a secret hidden here.
They only have 4 hours left before the sun really rises. It's been a long time they need, just to find a little information.
Unlike the case with Fedrick who continues to see one tube of research that looks empty, even though thousands of other tubes filled with holy spirits are in the testing period. But only this tube is still empty and placed at the center of the corner of the floor point.
If you look well, there is not the slightest dust attached to the tube. It's weird, Fedrick thought.
"What's wrong? " Kendric approached Fedrick who looked serious. "It's nothing, just an empty tube-----"
Fedrick was shocked as the tube moved to the right as he tried to lean against the tube. Kendric immediately saw the strange tube, he observed something and what he found was a snake symbol under the floor and immediately Kendric pushed the tube stronger when he knew the key pattern on the floor.
He managed to push away the tube and the floor below which there was a snake emblem, moving around before finally a hole opened on the floor.
Kendric and Fedrick stared at each other after seeing a black hole that was not known how deep its base was due to the impenetrable darkness of light. As a result, Kendric made a magic ball of danger and dropped the ball to engage how deep the hole is.
But the thing that made them a little surprised wasn't the depth but there were so many snakes still wriggling inside there-maybe right down to the bottom as well.
"Do I need to protect you? " Sindir Fedrick.
"Are you so strong?"
"Hey, even though I'm no longer a god. But I am so strong."
Kendric smiled, while Fedrick who saw the change in Kendric's attitude gave him goose bumps. Usually if a cold man shows a smile to his rival, it must have hidden intentions.
"Then, please take care of the snake down there."
"What's? Hey---" Kendric patted Fedrick on the back and lost control until he fell into the hole.
"Dad-in-law don't die, I still need you at our wedding." Kendric's thump reaped Fedrick's mounting anger. "I will not bless you with my daughter, KEPAR*T!! "
Fedrick's shout made Kendric laugh, but it did not last long because at this time Kendric showed the side of his cold face that was so sharp, the guest he was waiting for had just emerged from behind the main door.
Fortunately he immediately sent Fedrick first to get in there, not for a reason but Kendric also knew how strong Fedrick was and if measured by the thousands of snakes down there, he'll be fine.
"Since then I have felt that there are many rats in the sacred temple of the Great Elder. Tell me, who are you? " The white-robed figure who has an important role in taking care of various things in the holy temple. He was one of Octopus's confidants and also part of the 12 Great Elders, Zacken.
"Are you looking to die? Hem, wouldn't it be nice if you were also made part of Titania or the dark magic project. " The man seemed to be weighing something.
".............. "
"Why are you just silent? Don't you know who I am?! "
Kendric very calmly stepped closer to the big man and muscular man. It appears that Zacken does not like Kendric's calm demeanor, with the man's pent-up anger reaching for his lightning chain whip that is known as his god artifact.
The first whip swing was aimed at Kendric but it was not the slightest sabetage from the man who injured Kendric. Seeing this, he went mad and whipped repeatedly at his enemies, causing a thick cloud of dust smoke.
Zacken laughed loudly when he felt that there was no movement from the intruder, while scolding him in harsh words, as if he was happy with the death that was so easy to get by the intruder.
He looked astonished by the events just now moreover he could not pull back his whip. And slowly his body was interested in approaching something that was behind the smoke.
Still not giving up, Zacken restrained his body from being dragged. He also became provoked to try to fight by attracting stronger things that were there. But instead of pulling, he was getting dragged and the result was that the man was interested in entering the smoke with a body that fell down very roughly.
"How dare! Who, who would dare insult me?! " I cried with all the anger.
Zacken tried to get up on his feet, but unfortunately it could not be done. he very hard labor to make his muscle veins printed clearly on the surface of his skin.
Men who have a high status among the nobility look very bad when in the sense of his body increasingly sucked to the bottom of the floor as if there is a vortex of gravity point that does not allow him to rise.
"Aragh!" a cry of pain echoed as a whip belonging to the man attacked his own master.
He looked extremely agonized as the whip chain continued to tie his neck very tightly, his two gray eyes began to be decorated with red-colored veins. He tried to remove his own whip from his neck, but instead of loosening it got worse.
from behind the smoke he could see a black shadow with his eyes barking red. He analyzed the figure before him, and his eyes opened even more when he noticed the pair of red jeweled eyes.
In Imorrtal there is only one creature that has the eyes of a jewel of doom for dissidents like them. Because only the sun nation has the grace of the sky as ruler after the moon pearl.
"Kha-khau, "The old man looked terrified and excited as the ghastly figure before him showed his form and face.
"Can't be-ARGH!!" the whip that held him back stung the helpless body with lightning that was so strong that it was able to sever the nerves of his veins, it was seen when the entire body of the poor man was lying with a body that had been paralyzed.
The figure facing off against one of the other Great--nothing Elders was Kendric again eroding the distance. He lifted the weak body by pulling his hair. From the point of view of the elder, he was terrified very much when he saw the cynical eyes that were shown to him.
It was clearly impossible for him to escape after seeing how ferocious and powerful the great beast before him was, it felt like he deeply regretted his actions against the sky emperor who had never once shown his face directly before his people.
"What is Octopus doing now?" asked Kendric who sounded a special order to the Elder.
"Be-hey, trying to develop dark magic and declining-khan populations of holy spirits. He captures and hunts the sacred spirits hidden in the various worlds."
The explanation from him makes Kendric understand, why Lucy was in the pursuit of a holy spirit that was cursed when on Earth first.
" Why should the spirit be holy?"
"That's because, he was worried about the generation that inherited Robin's soul. To prevent this, he also hunted the descendants of the Rescount because only they the Imorrtal were able to read and master the circumference of black magic."
Kendric does know that the Tahlia family is a double magic user, where they can understand forbidden magic in just one read, a very neat plan.
"Then where's Carzie's book?"
Zacken was silent for a moment before he finally laughed, having already known that his end would end in the hands of the Celestial Emperor. He intended to be silent, but instead of upset Kendric was the most satisfied to show a face of disdain after reading the Elders mind.
"Are you satisfied with just a silence?"
"Eh?"
"If you choose silence, it doesn't matter to me, because I've found the secret room."
Realizing that, the Elder saw that a secret passage had opened up behind Kendric. "Because I am quite amused by your presence, I will leave you a gift." Kendric dropped the insignificant body, causing the elder to take a note of pain in the wound he received.
Confused he tried to glance at Kendric but his attention was on the two black dogs silhouetted with blue flames. It was a saint spirit beast from the Slyph that was already contaminated with the black magic curse.
Kendric deliberately broke some tubes to resurrect them, because it was currently impossible for them to attack Kendric because of his level of strength, making sure they would attack the Elder first.
"Because you are so loyal as her pet, wouldn't it be very proud if you died at the hands of her precious find. Elder Zacken. I hope you're not in too much of a hurry to miss Hell, because they're still so hungry to play with you."
The elder was sweating coldly, "No! Don't do that, Your Majesty. Please, just this once, please forgive me servant."
"This time? It seems you have no intention of getting better. "
"No, I am an elder! "
"Then?"
"You can't punish us."
"Why can't it?" Kendric looked angry.
Just as his red eyes were barking, the group of spirit dogs began to starve-stare at the prey before him with great delicacy. As if the gaze of the spirit beast was about to tear his body apart, Zacken tried to move his paralyzed body that looked very futile in Kendric's eyes.
"Stop!"
The starving bunch of cursed spirits began to eat every inch of the Elder's body, setting aside the cries of suffering that continued to echo in the silent room.
Kendric again walked away from the heinous tragedy that Zacken was experiencing, and intended to follow Fedrick who felt was enough for him to finish the snake down there.
