Chapter Summaries

Arthur survived Ruxiu’s attack and received a Black Eye Stone that could improve soul aptitude but also transform and corrupt its user. After rejecting the temptation to use it, Arthur entered the Destiny World.

• Arthur found the Black Eye Stone Ruxiu had left behind and recognized its benefits and dangers.
• Ruxiu and Andrew discussed their plan to tempt Arthur into using the stone, which Ruxiu had tainted with the brain fluid of the Mother of Mind Flayers.
• Arthur decided he would never use the stone or let his loved ones use it, and considered selling it someday.
• Arthur shut himself in his room and used his Destiny Mark to enter the Destiny World.

Arthur explored the Destiny World’s new facilities and bought a private room as his base. He searched for ways to strengthen his soul, found the available items inadequate, and turned to listings of soul-related secret techniques.

• Arthur noticed the Destiny World had expanded, including a new auction house and cheaper material transportation.
• Arthur bought a private room for three thousand World Energy, drawing attention from other Destiny Operators.
• Arthur reviewed listings for soul-strengthening items but found that nearly all were too weak to help him.
• Arthur changed the screen to display secret techniques related to the soul.

• Arthur redeemed 179 secret arts and materials related to fourth-level beings, spending more than 40,000 World Energy in total.

Arthur left for Feng Kai City to reinforce the Silver Mist Royal Court’s southern front, where the Dark Elf Royal Court threatened a strategically vital stronghold. After destroying a flock of Death-reporting Birds, he discovered that his Bloodline Blade could accelerate his bloodline’s growth by consuming his lifespan and stirring chaotic emotions.

• Arthur told Edith he would answer King Cass’s call to battle, despite her worry for him.
• A month later, Arthur traveled toward Feng Kai City with Andra, other wizards, three Sky Knights, and seven hundred knights.
• Arthur identified the circling Death-reporting Birds as part of a prepared barrier and destroyed them with his Bloodline Blade.
• The Bloodline Blade absorbed the birds’ life force and nourished Arthur’s bloodline, but the process cost him lifespan and brought violent emotions to the surface.
• Arthur ordered his force to reach Feng Kai City within a day and considered the city’s importance to the Silver Mist Royal Court’s war against the Dark Elf Royal Court.

Arthur led seven hundred knights toward Feng Kai City, where underground creatures had besieged the city for months and devastated its defenders. As the knights charged through the enemy’s outer defenses, their Life Seeds blazed and the Dark Elf Wizard realized the force was far stronger than he had expected.

• Isis told Arthur that Feng Kai City was near collapse, with High Priest Linasi gravely wounded and several Official Wizards dead.
• Arthur saw the underground creatures assaulting the city and ordered Andra and the knights to charge straight through them.
• The knights broke through the demonic beasts forming the first defense line, while Andra and the other Official Wizards destroyed the shadowy wizard array behind it.
• A Dark Elf Wizard spotted the seven hundred charging knights and doubted they could threaten his army.
• The knights activated their Life Seeds, revealing that more than half were true knights, and a more powerful radiance began to shine among them.

Arthur destroyed the Dark Elf army’s beast-powered wizard array with Moon Elf power, then entered Feng Kai City and began restoring its exhausted defenders. He left the city’s forces preparing to tally their losses and reward their warriors with baptisms.

• Arthur released his suppressed power and summoned a silver moon that shattered the wizard array and killed countless demonized beasts.
• The array’s destruction gravely wounded its Dark Elf wizard, who wrongly concluded that Arthur had used the Moon King's Sword.
• Arthur entered Feng Kai City with Isis and was welcomed by High Priest Linasi and the Elves.
• Linasi explained that two months of fighting and a sealing array had depleted the city’s defenders and supplies.
• Arthur used Moon God's Baptism to heal Linasi and promised baptisms to the families’ distinguished warriors after their losses were tallied.

Arthur held a ceremony to restore and reward elves who had contributed in battle, then faced the challenge of containing the Dark Elves after they abandoned their siege of Feng Kai City. King Cass ordered him to hold the city for three months while the rear settlements evacuated, and Arthur suspected the Dark Elves were hiding a stronger force or plan.

• Arthur led a long ceremony that soothed the gathered elves and announced a lavish feast to honor their contributions.
• Arthur invited local nobles to the feast to build ties with the region’s powers.
• Arthur led his Knight Order on several sorties, winning victories before the Dark Elf commander abandoned the siege and scattered his forces among other cities.
• Arthur read King Cass’s secret order to oversee Feng Kai City’s evacuation and hold the Dark Elves back for at least three months.
• Arthur inferred that King Cass and Kular planned to evacuate the outskirts and force a decisive battle beneath the Silver Mist Royal Capital.
• Arthur judged that he could hold Feng Kai City for three months but suspected the Dark Elves had an undisclosed advantage.

As Silver Mist Royal Court completed its evacuation and prepared to withdraw from Feng Kai City, Arthur grew stronger through the war and refined his soul. A little over a month later, Ruxiu and Andrew used elven captives in a ritual, and a colossal shadow began to form above the altar.

• Andra led the final group of elves toward a distant city as Silver Mist Forest evacuated its residents amid the worsening war.
• Arthur prepared to leave Feng Kai City, whose civilians and supplies had been moved north, while his Bloodline Blade and soul training advanced his strength.
• Arthur used the Bloodline Blade to absorb the blood energy from fallen demonized beasts, then went to plan the withdrawal with Linasi and the others.
• A little over a month later, Ruxiu and Andrew discussed the Silver Mist Royal Court's retreat to its capital and its protective wizard formation.
• Ruxiu activated an altar while Dark Elf guards forced elven captives onto it, and a pool of black liquid formed beneath the offerings.
• The black liquid glowed and burned as shadowy figures gathered into a colossal form above the altar.

Ruxiu summoned Alarun and obtained a black crystal that could call on the Demon God's power, despite the risk that Alarun would devastate the land. Days later, the Dark Elves challenged Kular to leave the Silver Mist Royal Capital, but he refused, leaving their assault on the city imminent.

• Ruxiu summoned Alarun, who agreed to intervene in exchange for a price and gave him a black crystal to summon his avatar.
• Andrew warned Ruxiu that Alarun could destroy the fertile land, but Ruxiu said they had a way to send the Demon God back if he threatened their plans.
• Ruxiu declared that preparations were complete and said it was time to face his old friend Kular.
• Andra told Arthur that the Dark Elf High Priest had challenged Kular to fight outside the city, but Kular had refused.
• Arthur concluded that the Dark Elves would soon launch a full assault because they could not lure Kular away from the city's powerful protective formation.

Arthur waited as the Dark Elves attacked the city, then discovered that Kuludo and Isis had betrayed the Silver Mist Royal Court after being promised the commoners would be spared. King Cass confronted Kuludo, while Arthur stopped him from landing a fatal blow; a terrifying presence then emerged elsewhere in the city.

• Arthur watched the Dark Elves’ beasts assault the city wall for half a month while he held back, confident in his ability to defend the city.
• Kuludo and Isis arrived with allies and demanded that Arthur surrender, revealing that they had secretly drugged his food.
• Isis explained that the Dark Elf High Priest had promised to spare the Elf commoners if they surrendered and handed over Arthur.
• King Cass appeared and rebuked Kuludo, then attacked him and the others; Arthur stopped Cass from striking Kuludo down.
• King Cass told Kuludo that Edith, his mother, and the rest of his family were safe in the Royal Palace.
• A violent tremor drew Arthur’s attention as a huge shadow and a bone-chilling presence began to form in the city.

A Rank Four Demon God attacked the Elf royal capital and shattered its protective wizard formation, leaving the Silver Mist Royal Court exposed. As Edith urged Arthur to escape, he realized Ruxiu had already locked onto him and that he had few options left.

• King Cass, Isis, Arthur, and the others felt the Demon God's overwhelming aura as it approached the city.
• The Demon God absorbed demonized beasts to strengthen its body, then struck the Moon Elf barrier repeatedly.
• Kular was infected and badly injured as the protective wizard formation collapsed, and he ordered the survivors to activate a concealment formation and evacuate some people.
• Edith urged Arthur to flee with her, Sister Ladina, and Aunt Curtis, but Arthur said it was too late because Ruxiu had come to the city wall and was watching him.

Arthur rejected Ruxiu’s offer, defeated him in a brief clash, and went to confront the Demon God rampaging through the Elven royal city. His opening attack barely wounded the Demon God, so he drew the Moon King’s Sword as the watching Elves waited anxiously.

• Ruxiu offered to spare Arthur’s family if Arthur surrendered the Moon King’s Sword and became a Dark Elf, but Arthur rejected the deal after sensing Ruxiu’s deceit.
• Ruxiu attacked Arthur to seize his bloodline, but Arthur struck him down and shattered his protective force field; Ruxiu fled while Arthur stayed to face the Demon God.
• Arthur sent Edith and Solana toward the Royal Palace for safety, then walked toward the Demon God as it slaughtered the city’s inhabitants.
• Arthur summoned a silver moon and struck the Demon God, but the attack left only a deep dent in its chest.
• King Cass watched as Arthur drew the Moon King’s Sword before the anxious crowd of Elven Wizards.

Arthur used the Moon King's Sword to manifest the Moon King's true form and fought the Demon God's avatar, but he was overpowered in direct combat. As the avatar's strength waned, Ruxiu ordered a desperate ritual to replenish it, leaving the battle's outcome dependent on the two level-four beings.

• Arthur's transformation into the Moon King Form shocked King Cass and Ruxiu and unleashed a bloodline pressure that made beasts collapse and other beings tremble.
• Arthur and the Demon God's avatar charged at each other, and the Demon God knocked Arthur's claw aside, injuring him.
• Arthur continued fighting while his Chip calculated that the avatar would weaken after half an hour and exhaust its power within an hour.
• Ruxiu realized the avatar was losing strength and ordered Andrew to sacrifice mutated beasts, slaves, and even their own troops to replenish Lord Alarun's power.
• Andrew accepted that the battle's outcome rested on Arthur and the Demon God, and that if Arthur won, none of the invaders would escape.

Arthur fought the Demon God Alarun while the Dark Elves sacrificed captives and soldiers to empower him. Edith helped Kular reactivate Silver Mist Royal City’s protective formation to strengthen Arthur, but Alarun vanished after unleashing a vast black aura.

• The Dark Elves sacrificed demonized beasts, enslaved races, and their own soldiers at a massive altar, restoring Alarun’s strength and awakening his consciousness.
• Alarun attacked Arthur, and Arthur answered with Moon Radiance as the two fought in a devastating battle.
• Edith found the wounded Kular, who asked her to reopen Silver Mist Royal City’s protective spell formation to aid Arthur.
• The city’s formation channeled its power into Arthur, healing his wounds and increasing pressure on Alarun.
• Alarun transformed the surrounding land into infernal soil, then disappeared into an expanding black aura.

Arthur defeated Ruxiu and annihilated the Dark Elf army after Alarun fled, then discovered his Moon Elf bloodline had entered the Metamorphosis Stage and neared the fourth level. Back at the Royal Palace, Arthur used Moon Elf power to heal and transform his teacher Kular, who remained weak but had recovered his spirit.

• Alarun fled the battle, and Arthur killed Ruxiu with a single blow.
• Arthur destroyed the Dark Elf camp and its tens of thousands of soldiers with silver power.
• Arthur returned to his normal form, learned his Moon Elf bloodline had entered the Metamorphosis Stage, and realized he was close to becoming a Moon Elf King.
• Arthur returned to the Royal Palace and found the gravely injured Kular, then used Moon Elf power to baptize and heal him.
• Kular's wounds and black marks disappeared, and he looked at Arthur with renewed spirit and silver in his eyes.

Arthur became the Elf Royal Court’s new High Priest and quelled the Demon Disaster in the Silver Mist Forest. He then chose to delay aiding other Wizard Organizations, intending to let the disaster weaken them before using his victory over the underground creatures to unite the Maysen Region.

• Kular told Arthur he planned to pass the High Priest position to him, and Arthur agreed.
• Arthur received Kular’s scepter and became High Priest before King Cass and the nobles, who supported him and some of whom urged Cass to abdicate.
• Arthur spent the next month driving all underground creatures from the Silver Mist Forest and ending the Demon Disaster there.
• Arthur reunited with Edith and Solana at home, where Solana escaped her writing lessons to go play with Lulu.
• Arthur told Edith that he would wait before aiding the Wizard Organizations elsewhere, allowing the Demon Disaster to weaken them before he intervened.

Arthur began his ascension, entering a vast dream of the Moon Elves’ history and witnessing the Moon King’s power. His transformation also awakened a dormant will inside an emerald tombstone in a distant world.

• Arthur entered his Burst Form in his hidden basement and began the metamorphosis needed to complete his ascension.
• Arthur dreamed of an immense world and watched the Elf journey through it for what felt like ages.
• A giant serpent attacked the Elf, and Arthur’s strike summoned a Silver Giant Beast that he recognized as the Moon King.
• Arthur witnessed Moon Elves battling ancient creatures and then saw Moon Kings kneeling beneath an ancient tree, each marked with an Emerald Mark.
• A silver light reached an emerald tombstone in a desolate world, restoring its glow and awakening a dormant will.
• The awakened will wondered how power could still reach it when its descendants had nearly become extinct.

Arthur awakened after advancing to Level 4 and discovered the True Spirit and Origin of Self formed through his ascension. He realized his Moon Elf bloodline had shaped his origin and could limit his future progress, though his strong Wizard foundation gave him hope that his potential remained greater than that of other bloodline-based Level 4 beings.

• Mother of Emerald and a stern middle-aged man watched Arthur in a crystal and discussed his rapid advancement and the obstacles his Moon Elf bloodline could pose.
• Mother of Emerald said Arthur should be able to resolve his curse once the Emerald Mark's power ran out, provided he did not attract the Calamity World's attention.
• Arthur woke in the basement and sensed the changes in his Level 4 body, spiritual power, and True Spirit.
• Arthur recalled how the Wizard system prepared the spirit, body, and soul for the Level 4 Origin of Self.
• Arthur realized that advancing through his bloodline could leave flaws in his origin, but his solid Wizard foundation should preserve more potential than most bloodline-based origins.

After emerging from his three-month transformation, Adir found that Silver Mist Forest had recovered while the Demon Disaster worsened and refugees streamed into the region. A desperate refugee leader named Kuru approached an elite Elf escort, hoping the noble in its carriage would help feed his people.

• Adir checked his attributes after reaching Level Four and saw that his Moon Elf bloodline had produced a unique source power.
• Adir left the basement after more than three months, during which King Cass and Kular had repaired the damage to Silver Mist Forest.
• The Demon Disaster spread across the Maysen Region, driving refugees into the comparatively stable Silver Mist Forest and troubling the Silver Mist Royal Court.
• Kuru decided his starving refugee column could not wait to reach a nearby city and identified the noble in an Elf-guarded carriage as a possible source of help.
• Despite his companion's doubts about the Elves' hostility toward outsiders, Kuru walked toward the Elf knights to ask for aid.
