Chapter Summaries

Fred and Evan confirmed that Arthur carried the Moon God Bloodline and suspected he was a lost royal descendant. In the library, Arthur learned that the Emerald World’s Elves had been wiped out in a single night, leaving him wondering what had happened and recalling the Elf Emperor Ruins.

• Fred told Evan that Arthur passed the bloodline test and carried the Moon God Bloodline, though his royal ancestry remained uncertain.
• Fred revealed that Arthur was probably only twenty, and Evan suggested his bloodline might have reawakened after skipping a generation.
• Arthur reached the library and used the Chip to absorb information from books throughout the afternoon.
• Arthur learned that the world was the Emerald World, the legendary birthplace of the Elves.
• Arthur found records that every Elf in the Emerald World had died in a single night, except for mixed descendants, and he recalled the Elf Emperor Ruins.

Arthur learned that the Ancient Elves had been wiped out by a bloodline-targeting curse, then discovered that Fred and the Elasar family carried the Moon God Bloodline. He became the Gaoluo Kingdom’s Guardian Wizard and visited a guarded trading post, where he saw how few Wizards lived in the region.

• Arthur asked Fred about the Ancient Elves’ extinction and learned that their eyes had turned red before every Elf died within days, likely because of a curse linked to ancient events.
• Fred invited Arthur to become the Gaoluo Kingdom’s Guardian Wizard and revealed that Arthur’s bloodline matched the Moon God Bloodline of the Elasar family.
• Arthur accepted the position so he could gain local support while seeking Wizard knowledge and Elf ruins.
• The next day, Fred escorted Arthur to a Wizard trading post outside the city, where Arthur noted its limited security and the many ordinary visitors.
• Arthur realized that Wizards were scarce in the area and wondered whether the Emerald World as a whole was similarly weak or the region was merely remote.

Arthur explored the marketplace with Fred, found a valuable Black-eyed Beast eye hidden in an old piece of wood, and learned about the Emerald World’s resources and trade. They attended a Ku Merchant Guild auction, where Arthur watched an enchanted sword set sell for far more than he thought it was worth.

• Arthur bought several ancient items from a roadside stall and discovered a Black-eyed Beast eye concealed inside a piece of black wood.
• Fred showed Arthur the inner marketplace, where Arthur saw Princess Solana and learned about the Emerald World’s magic stones, materials, and Purification Potions.
• Fred invited Arthur to the Ku Merchant Guild auction, and they shared a private room while waiting for it to begin.
• The auctioneer presented enchanted swords once owned by Ancient Elf nobles, and a Great Knight bought the set for one hundred magic stones.
• Arthur judged the swords to be ordinary alchemical weapons that would have sold for only around ten magic stones in the Maysen Region.

Arthur bought an ancient Elf ice coffin containing a royal corpse for ten thousand magic stones, intending to study its bloodline. After the auction, he paid for his winnings and asked to exchange magic stones for magic crystals, with Fred identifying him as the Gaoluo Kingdom’s Guardian Wizard to secure a waived fee.

• Arthur bid on several ancient Elf artifacts to study their alchemical techniques.
• The auctioneer presented an ice coffin containing a well-preserved Elf royal corpse, and Solana condemned the sale as desecration.
• Arthur outbid the others with ten thousand magic stones, explaining to Fred that he needed a pure-blooded Elf royal corpse for his experiments.
• Fred told Arthur about a local market that sold ancient Elf corpses for bloodline research.
• Arthur paid seventeen thousand three hundred magic stones for his seven auction purchases and asked to exchange stones for magic crystals.
• Fred identified Arthur as the Gaoluo Kingdom’s Guardian Wizard, and the trading company waived the exchange fee.

Arthur exchanged magic stones for magic crystals and bought Ancient Elf remains to support his bloodline experiments. He returned to his manor with the materials, but found that his laboratory needed modifications before he could begin.

• Arthur exchanged most of his magic stones for more than fifty magic crystals and followed Fred to Jimul's market stall.
• Jimul showed Arthur five preserved corpses of Elf royalty, which Arthur bought along with several skeletons he selected.
• Arthur purchased a silver-boned skeleton whose former owner had possessed a powerful royal bloodline and died young, apparently killed by a dagger.
• Arthur and Fred returned to Arthur's manor, where servants and a laboratory had been provided after Arthur became the Gaoluo Kingdom's Guardian Wizard.
• Arthur inspected the Elf girl preserved in an Ice Coffin and concluded that his laboratory needed modifications before he could start his experiment.

Arthur extracted a small amount of Ancient Moon Elf bloodline from Elf corpses and learned from Fred about an upcoming expedition to an Ancient Elf ruin. Three months later, with his supply increased to a fifth of what he needed, Arthur prepared to leave for the expedition.

• Arthur used a spell formation and the Chip to purify an Elf girl's corpse, obtaining two drops of Ancient Moon Elf bloodline.
• Arthur told Fred he needed more experimental materials, and Fred invited him to join an expedition to a newly discovered Ancient Elf ruin.
• Fred explained that a pureblood Moon Elf corpse had once helped him obtain the bloodline that made him a Second-level Wizard and ancestor of the Gaoluo royal family.
• Arthur agreed to join the expedition, which was due to leave in about three months.
• Over the next three months, Arthur acquired more Ancient Elf corpses and increased his bloodline supply to a fifth of what he needed.
• Arthur left his laboratory, changed into a black robe, and headed toward the carriage waiting at his manor.

Arthur traveled with Fred to Emerald City, where they learned that a newly discovered ruin might be an ancient wizard settlement tied to the Blood Calamity. While searching the city for experimental materials, Arthur found the corpse of a powerful Ancient Elf wizard and the Chip recommended extracting it.

• Arthur and Fred flew to Emerald City on White Feathered Giant Eagles and were welcomed by Kumu.
• Kumu told Arthur and Fred that the nearby ruins might be a wizard settlement from the Blood Calamity, possibly containing Ancient Wizard remains and Moon Elves.
• Arthur went with Kumu to a tower to search for remains containing Ancient Bloodlines, finding increasingly valuable specimens on its upper floors.
• On the fourth floor, Arthur found an unidentified Ancient Elf wizard's corpse that the Chip identified as suitable for extraction.

Arthur refined a bottle of pure Moon Elf bloodline after half a month of experiments, achieving the goal of his trip to the Emerald World. His Purification Potion drew the attention of Emerald City and several wizard families, and he told their representatives that he needed Water of Life to make more.

• Arthur bought rare bloodline materials across Emerald City and auctioned batches of Purification Potion, earning fame among the city's wizards.
• After hundreds of purification experiments, Arthur collected enough silver blood to obtain a batch of pure Moon Elf bloodline.
• Fred told Arthur that representatives from wizard families and Emerald City had come to see him about his alchemy.
• Kumu and two other Official Wizards asked Arthur for more Purification Potion, and he showed them a bottle while saying he had only a few batches left.
• Arthur named Water of Life as the material he needed, and Kumu recognized that Arthur had been buying it in secret.

Arthur traded Purification Potions for Water of Life and arranged further exchanges for rare resources, then declined to join an expedition into newly discovered ruins. Meanwhile, Kum and a coachman revealed that the ruins were being prepared for a blood sacrifice and planned to recruit Arthur after the operation.

• Kum gave Arthur fifty portions of Water of Life in exchange for Purification Potions, and Arthur agreed to trade potions for Crystallized Stone and Magic Eye Potion.
• Kum told Arthur that Emerald City would explore newly discovered ruins in three days, but Arthur refused to join and returned to studying the Emerald World's knowledge.
• Arthur checked the Chip's analysis of the Deep Blue Breath Potion, which had reached 75.8%, and considered what he had learned about advanced Meditation Methods and the World Stone.
• After leaving Arthur, Kum met with the coachman, who revealed Kum's power exceeded that of most Official Wizards and discussed their plans for the ruins.
• Kum told the coachman that Arthur had refused the expedition but wanted rare resources, and the coachman ordered him to meet Arthur's requests before attempting to recruit him after the ruins operation.

Arthur nurtured the Golden Nien Tree root and kept the awakened Moon Elf blood sealed, wary of an ancient curse. When Kumu warned him that fifteen wizards had vanished from the ruins, he discussed where Arthur should go next and suggested the Ten Star School.

• Arthur learned that the Golden Nien Tree root would regrow after half a month of watering, and that he needed about three more months to reach the Metamorphosis Stage.
• Arthur sensed danger in the awakened Moon Elf blood and used wizard arrays to suppress it without transforming it.
• Kumu told Arthur that fifteen Official Wizards, including three in the Metamorphosis Stage, had vanished after going to the ruins.
• Arthur questioned Kumu about returning to the Gaoluo Kingdom, joining Emerald City, or going to Oriel Academy, and Kumu criticized each option.
• Kumu proposed the Ten Star School as Arthur's next choice.

Arthur received the Ten Star School’s dangerous Blood Sacrifice Meditation Method from Kumu and realized the organization had likely orchestrated the disappearance of Emerald City’s wizards. When Kumu returned to demand Arthur’s decision, Arthur faced him without showing fear.

• Arthur received Kumu’s incomplete high-level Blood Sacrifice Meditation Method and learned that practicing it required sacrifices and risked dangerous mutations and influence from the Bloody Demon King.
• Arthur concluded that the Ten Star School was a hidden cult whose brutal sacrifices had made it infamous, and suspected its agents had infiltrated Emerald City.
• Emerald City learned that the wizards sent to the ruins, including Fred, had vanished and that the ruins’ entrance had been sealed.
• Arthur suspected the missing wizards had been sacrificed by the Ten Star School and waited at his estate.
• Kumu returned in a red robe, revealed his Metamorphosis Stage power, and asked Arthur for his decision; Arthur began to answer.

Arthur joined the Ten Star School as a potion-maker, signed its Emerald World contract, and refused to study the Bloody Sacrifice. Kumu gave him the first layer of the Emerald Heart in exchange for Arthur’s Purification Potion formula, while the school’s plan to obtain its second layer remained unresolved.

• Arthur agreed to join the Ten Star School and signed a contract requiring him to brew potions regularly.
• A white-haired old wizard arrived, and Kumu asked Arthur whether he had studied the Bloody Sacrifice; Arthur said he had not and refused to become involved in the school’s affairs.
• Arthur asked for a different Meditation Method, and Kumu gave him a crystal ball containing the first layer of the Emerald Heart.
• Kumu explained that the school hoped to obtain the Emerald Heart’s second layer through an upcoming operation.
• Arthur gave Kumu the Purification Potion formula, which Kumu and the old wizard eagerly examined.

Arthur gave Kumu a modified Purification Potion formula and was ordered to return to the Gaoluo Kingdom, while secretly hoping to keep trading for resources in the Emerald World. More than half a month later, he sensed bloodshed as Jialuo's forces conquered the kingdom, and Solana fled with other royal children toward Arthur's residence.

• Kumu verified Arthur's Purification Potion formula and told him to return to the Gaoluo Kingdom, where he would serve as its Guardian Wizard and await future contact.
• Arthur left the Emerald World aboard a White Feathered Giant Eagle after explaining that Fred would remain behind.
• Arthur sensed blood and cries of distress as Jialuo's forces slaughtered the Gaoluo Kingdom's royal family and Jialuo ordered Lem to impersonate the dead king.
• Solana's mother urged her to escape with the other royal children, and Solana used her necklace to evade soldiers as they fled the palace.
• With the necklace's power fading and soldiers closing in, Solana led the children toward Arthur's residence, believing the Official Wizards' homes might be safe.

With the Royal Palace fallen, Solana and the children sought refuge at Lord Arthur's residence, but Jialuo's forces slaughtered everyone there. Lord Arthur arrived just as Jialuo threatened Solana and struck him with a powerful blow.

• Solana hid with the children in Lord Arthur's residence, hoping its isolation arrays would keep them safe.
• Jialuo and Lem, disguised as King Gaoluo, reached the manor, and Jialuo killed the guards with a Blood Sacrifice.
• Jialuo ordered his black-armored soldiers to kill everyone in the manor, and they slaughtered its residents.
• Jialuo found Solana and the children, demanded the Moon God Stone, and killed a young boy to consume his blood.
• Lord Arthur appeared before Jialuo could seize Solana, then struck Jialuo and sent him crashing into a wall.

Arthur confronted Jialuo, an impostor posing as the King of Gaoluo, and fought through his Death Sacrifice Puppets as Jialuo transformed under the influence of the Bloody Sacrifice. The battle ended with Jialuo’s monstrous body exploding before Arthur.

• Solana identified the apparent King of Gaoluo as an impostor, while Arthur’s Chip confirmed the man’s disguise and revealed that his strength was far beyond the real king’s.
• Jialuo confronted Arthur with at least ten Death Sacrifice Puppets, and Arthur turned his attention to protecting Solana and Fred’s granddaughter.
• Arthur destroyed the puppets with Moon God’s Light, while Jialuo transformed into a blood-soaked monster whose aura threatened to drive Solana mad.
• Jialuo attacked Arthur with bloody blades and claws, but Arthur emerged from the clash largely unscathed while Jialuo suffered severe wounds.
• Arthur recognized that the Bloody Sacrifice had damaged Jialuo’s mind and intensified his bloodlust, and Jialuo’s body finally exploded before him.

Arthur killed Jialuo and nearly killed Lem, but spared Lem after he revealed he belonged to the Ten Star School. After Lem left, Solana confronted Arthur, who remained unmoved and reflected on why he had intervened.

• Arthur killed Jialuo with ease, leaving Lem stunned by the display of power.
• Arthur restrained Lem and nearly killed him, but stopped when Lem revealed his Ten Star School affiliation.
• Lem apologized, offered Arthur his belongings and school merit as compensation, then took his leave.
• Solana angrily confronted Arthur after Lem left, but his cold gaze silenced her.
• Arthur reflected that he had intervened because Jialuo had attacked his residence and because Fred had helped him, then looked over the corpses.

Arthur learned that the Ten Star School planned to destabilize the Gaoluo Kingdom and was ordered to work with Lem without revealing their presence. After making arrangements for Fred’s granddaughter and the wounded Blanche, Arthur waited with others in the wilderness as a carriage approached.

• A white-haired old man contacted Arthur through a black ring and ordered him to work with Lem to stabilize the Gaoluo Kingdom.
• Arthur let Solana go after she secretly escaped to search for Evan, and he remained silent when Fred’s granddaughter Annie asked whether Fred would return.
• Arthur offered Blanche money and a Knight Breathing Technique to take Annie far away and protect her as she grew up.
• Half a month later, Arthur waited with several people beside a wilderness road as a carriage approached.

Arthur saw Blanche and Annie off as they left for the southern rainforests, then continued brewing potions and studying the Ten Star School’s knowledge. After learning that reaching the Metamorphosis Stage would take three years and five months, Arthur used the Moon Elf blood to leave the world.

• Blanche told Arthur he planned to take Annie to the southern rainforests, and Arthur gave them permission to leave.
• Blanche knelt to salute Arthur, then drove Annie away in the carriage.
• A blond wizard delivered materials to Arthur, who told him to return in half a month for the potions.
• Arthur studied books from the Ten Star School while the Chip continued analyzing the Deep Blue Breath Potion.
• Two months later, Arthur’s spirit purity had reached 49.9%, and the Chip estimated he needed three years and five months to advance to the Metamorphosis Stage.
• Arthur took up the bottle of Moon Elf blood and vanished from the world.

Arthur returned to the Wizard World and began awakening the Ancient Moon Elf bloodline in a sealed laboratory. He started the dangerous bloodline transformation and sank into unconsciousness as the silver flames burned.

• Arthur returned to the Wizard World and traveled to a nearby city instead of visiting Sol and his family.
• Arthur rented a high-grade laboratory, sealed it with defensive sorcery arrays, and awakened the dormant Moon Elf bloodline in the silver blood.
• Arthur felt the awakened bloodline's immense pressure and poured the silver blood onto the transformation platform.
• Arthur activated the bloodline sorcery array, cut himself, and let the silver flames engulf his body.
• Arthur's consciousness faded into a deep slumber as the bloodline transformation continued.

Arthur underwent a bloodline transformation after encountering an ancient tree beneath a silver moon, while distant wills sent an Emerald Mark through a barrier to protect their new descendant. He awoke back in the laboratory and froze when he saw his changed reflection.

• Arthur woke beneath a silver moon in an unfamiliar wasteland and felt drawn toward a colossal ancient tree.
• Arthur's hair turned pale silver and his features changed as he approached the tree and touched its trunk.
• A distant female will sensed that a new descendant was awakening, and the ancient tree broke through a black canopy to send out an Emerald Mark.
• The female will and other voices discussed their dwindling pure-blooded descendants and the cost of resisting their captors.
• The ancient tree enveloped Arthur in azure light, and he awoke weak and hungry on the laboratory's stone platform.
• Arthur walked to a mirror and froze when he saw his reflection.
