Chapter 283 Is Here!

What exactly is driving them forward?

Maria felt she had sensed something, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Just when she was feeling extremely troubled, she heard the familiar voice of an old man outside the tent.

"Your Highness..."

It Nitze.

Although puzzled as to why the other party had suddenly returned, Maria waved her hand, Lamaline to stand quietly beside her, before speaking.

"Come in, Nitze."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Eaters of the Dead, slowly entered the room.

After confirming that there was no one else in the room, he bowed slightly to Maria in front of him.

"Is there anything else, Nitze?"

Faced with the other party's sudden return visit, Maria spoke calmly.

After a moment of silence, Nitze quietly raised his head.

"I think... there's something you might want to know..."

On the other side, in Kazdel.

At this time, Theresa was living in the castle that should have belonged to the Demon King Yelesh.

Her safety was protected by the Royal Court Army assembled by Theresis.

Although Maria had previously reminded the girl to build her own faction, it was clear that the girl wasn't taking it to heart.

After exchanging a few simple greetings, she wandered aimlessly through the castle.

Although war was imminent outside, she was not greatly affected.

This can be considered a unique form of protection for Theresis...

Although she felt happy, the girl couldn't help but shake her head.

If she could, she would like to do more...

Unfortunately... for now, she can only quietly play the role of her own mascot.

As the girl gazed idly at the castle she had never had a chance to properly explore before, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A moment later, the Black Crown on her head began to tremble slightly, conveying a voice to her.

"Over here..."

"Over here..."

The faint sound seemed incredibly long, and Theresa stared blankly at her surroundings.

After hesitating for a few moments, she spoke.

Who is it?

"..."

Does anyone need help?

"..."

Where are you?

The voice calling out remained unchanged Theresa could still hear that faint sound.

After hesitating for a long time, the girl gritted her teeth.

She carefully followed the sound.

In no time, she arrived at the castle's basement.

But the sound... came from even deeper underground...

"There are still roads..."

The girl frowned and carefully searched the surroundings for a while before finally finding a dilapidated road in a corner.

But what made her frown was that there wasn't much dust along the roadside...

Someone has been here!

Just recently!

Theresa gritted her teeth.

She knew that the best course of action at this moment was to gather a team and, under their protection, head to the tunnel.

But...

Hearing the calls in her ears, the girl gritted her teeth, silently picked up the Lantern in her hand, and carefully walked deeper into the tunnel.

More than ten minutes later, she finally found the source of the faint call.

It was a woman... chained up, with broken limbs...

Her elegant clothes were stained with blood, and her disheveled body could not conceal the aura emanating from her.

The other person also noticed that someone had arrived and silently raised their head.

The dimly lit dungeon couldn't hide her sharp gaze.

His green eyes were filled with coldness.

"You..."

"The new Demon King?"

Chapter 283 is out!

How long is the history of these Great Beasts?

This question obviously has no answer.

At least in the minds of those who know about Great Beast, almost every country has records of them.

No matter how old the books were, they could always find traces of its monstrous body in the major events recorded.

They have existed longer than any other race on Terra.

In a sense, the history of the Great Beast is the history of Terra.

They have existed there since the wild, ancient times, silently residing there.

They observe human development without ever interfering.

Even the oldest Sarkaz cannot determine what kind of being it is.

Books about the origins, abilities, and forms of Great Beast are all one-sided.

To date, humanity cannot claim to truly understand Great Beast.

However, among them, there are still some exceptionally gifted individuals who can glimpse some of the truth about the world.

Nitze first encountered the Great Beast, it was probably when he was young.

By then, he was already a renowned warrior.

The Sarkaz of that time were not much different from those of today; they still spent their days in war and preparing for war.

Meanwhile, Nitze received orders to intercept a group of elusive Laterano.

Without much thought after receiving the order, he immediately led his troops into battle against the Laterano.

But just as the battle was raging, an unexpected incident occurred.

No one noticed, no one reacted.

The already gloomy sky was suddenly torn apart, and the swirling clouds of the storm converged to form a huge hole!

Then... the terrifying, towering, sharp rocks slowly emerged...

That was also the first time he had seen so closely what a so-called Catastrophes really was.

Even now, Nitze can hardly forget that terrifying body.

He couldn't find any other words to describe the fear and shock he felt at that moment, except for the sheer scale of it.

It was at that time that he realized what Catastrophes truly were.

Books, movies, and pictures recorded in magical texts cannot truly depict what a disaster is like.

There are so many things in this world that you can only realize their immense power after you've actually seen them!

Humans are no different from sand and gravel in the face of such a thing!

They have no feelings, and the idea that things will get better when dawn comes is nonexistent.

They were there, relentlessly destroying everything around them.

Logically speaking, given such an unexpected turn of events, Nitze should have died on that battlefield.

But he was lucky.

He lives in a good place... and he also has a good brother.

In the face of danger, the Gargoyle used its own life to activate its Originium Arts, forcibly burying him in the center of the mountain range and isolating him from the surrounding area.

With a tremor he couldn't hear clearly and a devastating howl, he completely lost consciousness.

It took him several days to finally rise with difficulty from the underground place that had been razed to the ground.

Even so, the shockwaves from the air vibrations still left him with wounds that were difficult to heal.

But looking at the battlefield where there wasn't a soul in sight, he still seemed incredibly lucky...

He just has Oripathy.

This accident dealt him a heavy blow, and for a long time afterward, he even felt a fear of going to the battlefield.

Even the war god in the eyes of the Sarkaz had moments of weakness.

As Oripathy worsened and time passed, he gradually emerged from the fear of death.

However, his overly acute senses also gradually made it impossible for him to fall asleep.

He began to hear strange calls.

At first, he thought it was a consequence of the war, just like his comrades.

But clearly, the sound he heard was different.

He heard no roars or shouts, nor the excited booms of Originium Arts.

He could only hear some strange noises.

A breath that takes years to complete...

A heartbeat that vibrated like an earthquake...

It felt like being stared at intently by something...

There was even a time when he began to wonder if he had really gone mad.

This situation continued until the arrival of another war.

That was the war between the Cyclops and Ursus.

The Cyclops Royal Court had long since left Kazdel, suddenly sent a communication to Kazdel one day.

The Cyclops are a peculiar race within the Sarkaz, and it is rumored that each of them can use their third eye to glimpse a certain direction of the future.

But because of this, their whereabouts are often very mysterious and secretive, to the point that no one knows what they are thinking.

Many years ago, they stopped and headed north.

Now, they have suddenly made contact with the Royal Court. Although the content of the conversation is very strange, considering the other party's capabilities, the Royal Court still chose to send Nitze to lead a team to Ursus territory to protect their compatriots.
