The Death God Has Come!

Before nightfall, the group followed Isolte to her home.

The mansion is located in a quiet alley on the east side of City of Ars.

It didn't look very big, and the walls weren't high. There were a few old trees in the yard, their branches and leaves peeking over the walls and rustling in the evening breeze.

It's not a mansion, but it has the advantage of a quiet and clean environment.

Isolte forward and knocked on the door; footsteps soon came from inside.

The door opened, and a young man, who looked to be in his late twenties, peeked out. His face bore a resemblance to Isolte.

He had dark brown hair, a short stubble on his chin, and wore a loose-fitting home shirt.

He was taken aback when he saw six people standing at the door, then turned his gaze to Isolte.

"Isolte? Who are these people?"

"Brother, these are all my friends."

I'd like to stay the night.

"Your friend?"

Tantris's expression clearly showed some suspicion.

Isolte didn't have many friends before. This girl had spent her whole life in the dojo since she was a child, and besides practicing swordsmanship, she was always patrolling the streets. Her social circle was pitifully small.

Now they've brought back six people at once, including their families: two little girls, a Long-Ear Race elf, and Demon Race. This group looks like they've come to escape.

Isolte introduced them one by one, then pointed to Tantris: "This is my brother, Tantris."

Luo Ge stepped forward and nodded politely. "Hello, I am Luo Ge Greyrat."

Tantris was about to nod in return, his hand already raised, when he suddenly stopped.

"... Wait a minute, what's your name?"

"Luo Ge Greyrat."

Tantris stared at him for two seconds, his mind racing, and then he suddenly realized what was happening.

Good heavens, isn't this the man my sister's been thinking about all this time?

Tantris's gaze immediately changed; he became interested and began to look Luo Ge up and down.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I heard you're already Sword King at such a young age?"

"Yes!"

Luo Ge nodded in agreement.

Tantris remarked, "What a promising young man!"

He truly hadn't expected Luo Ge to look so young, and to be Sword King at such a young age.

Tantris himself is almost thirty years old and has only managed to become Advanced Swordsman; the gap between people is simply too vast.

Of course, he didn't know that the young man in front of him was no longer the Sword King, but had recently become the fifth-ranked Death God among the Seven Great Powers.

If they knew, they would probably be even more astonished.

Tantris stepped aside to let Luo Ge into the house, but his gaze never left him.

This made Luo Ge feel that there was something wrong with the way Isolte's brother looked at him. It wasn't exactly hostility, but there was a scrutinizing quality in his eyes, as if he was weighing something.

Luo Ge thought carefully about whether he had offended him somewhere, but he really couldn't remember.

Little did he know, what was on Tantris' mind at that moment was...

What's so great about this guy that he's got my sister so infatuated?

Everyone went inside.

The interior of the mansion was more spacious than the exterior, with simple furnishings, wooden tables and chairs, and several decorative paintings of swords hanging on the walls.

There were only two or three servants, quietly serving tea and water.

Isolte of preparing a welcome dinner for everyone.

A sumptuous dinner was prepared in no time.

The aroma of roasted meat and bread mingled with the sweet scents of ale and fruit wine, filling the restaurant.

The group had been traveling for months, enduring wind and rain, and their eyes widened when they saw this table.

No one was shy, and everyone ate to their heart's content.

After a satisfying meal, everyone leaned back in their chairs to digest, and the atmosphere relaxed.

Isolte walked over with a glass of ale, smiling at Luo Ge.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to congratulate you! Luo Ge, you've now become Seven Great Powers."

She raised her glass, a hint of teasing in her voice, "Speaking of which, I should call you Lord Death God now."

Firstly, in terms of status and position, the foreign powers were already above her.

The fairy can be on par with her grandmother, the Water God, and in some ways, she is even above her Water God.

Luo Ge looked up, full of confusion. "Isolte, what did you say? What Seven Great Powers?"

"Um, don't you already know?"

"The ranking of the Seven Great Powers has changed. This is a huge deal; the whole world knows about it, okay?" Isolu said, waving her hand.

"But... what does this have to do with me?"

"Aren't you the new Grim Death God of the Seven Great Powers?"

Luo Ge tilted his head and then looked at the others around him.

Roxy shook her head blankly, Nanahoshi said expressionlessly that she knew nothing, Elinalise shrugged, and Aisha and Norn, the two little girls, didn't understand what was being said at all.

"Wait a minute, when did I become Seven Great Powers?"

Isolte stared at Luo Ge for several seconds, making sure he really didn't know, then raised her hand to cover her forehead.

"Um, do you still have the Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword with you?"

"It's disconnected."

"It's disconnected?"

Isolte lowered her hand, her expression turning serious. "Hey, how did it break?"

Luo Ge told her that the sword was broken after his battle with the Dragon God.

Isolte gasped.

You know, the Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword was forged by the Dragon Emperor and has always been known as an unbreakable demonic sword. I never expected it to break. But when I thought about the battle with the Dragon God, Isolte felt it made sense.

She took a deep breath to process the information, then pressed on urgently, "Do you still have the broken sword?"

"Yes, it's here."

As he spoke, Luo Ge took the broken Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword out of his luggage and placed it on the table.

The sword split in two, the broken edge gleaming with a dull luster. Although it was broken into two pieces, the sharpness of this demonic sword was still faintly visible.

Isolte took a closer look and sighed with a complicated expression.

"What a pity..."

"By the way, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Because the fifth emblem of the Seven Great Powers is your Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword."

Isolte raised her head and said, word by word, "The exact same pattern. You're saying you didn't become the Death God? Who would believe that?"

She gave me a look that said, "Stop pretending."

Luo Ge scratched his head. "Um, is it possible you've made a mistake?"

"There's no way there could be a mistake."

Isolte asked with certainty, "Have you fought anyone in the past six months? To replace the Seven Great Powers, the only way is to defeat the previous Grim Death God."

Luo Ge began to recall.

For the past six months... he's spent most of his time traveling, and the number of times he's been in fights can be counted on one hand.

Etc.

His heart skipped a beat.

"Oh, right... I did beat a cook once."

"Cook?"

What kind of chef is he?!

"He knows a powerful technique called Bewitching Sword..."

Isolte's eyes widened suddenly, and she slammed her hand on the table.

"That's it!"

"The person you defeated was the previous Death God, Randolph Marian! I heard my grandmother mention him; he disappeared many years ago, and his signature move was the Bewitching Sword."

She took a deep breath, looked at Luo Ge, and smiled, "Congratulations, Lord Death God."

"???"

Luo Ge was taken aback.

No? They just casually got into a fight and suddenly became one of the Seven Great Powers?

Is this reasonable?

When he was fighting, he really thought Randolph was just a cook, or at most a cook with decent swordsmanship who practiced occasionally for fun.

So you told him it was Death God?

However, considering the opponent's unfathomable strength, calling him the Death God seems plausible; at least in that battle, his victory was far from easy.

Luo Ge leaned back in his chair, feeling a strong sense of unreality.

The people around them listened to the conversation but couldn't get a word in edgewise and remained silent.

Luo Ge has become Seven Great Powers? This explosive news was no less than a nuclear bomb dropping, giving everyone present a huge shock.

... Death God?

Death God has arrived at his house?!

Beside him, Isolte's Tantris, listened the whole time, his expression shifting from confusion to shock to blankness, his wine glass hovering in mid-air for a long time before he put it down.

The Death God of the Seven Great Powers?

Is this the boy in front of me?

He would never have believed it if it hadn't come from his own sister.

The other person didn't look like someone with the strength of a major power at all; he was just an ordinary young man, maybe a little handsome.

He was called the Demon Sword King, Tantris believed.

But to say that he was the Death God of the Seven Great Powers, Tantris thought this world was too outrageous.

Which of the Seven Great Powers is led by a teenager?

After all, the Seven Great Powers are not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Let's not even mention those legendary figures like the Technique God, the Dragon God, the Battle God, and the Demon God.

The next three great powers.

They are also people who stand at the pinnacle of this world.

The surrounding air remained silent for a few seconds.

Aisha and Norn were too young to understand what the Seven Great Powers meant; they only knew that their older brother seemed very powerful and had achieved something remarkable.

Elinalise put down her wine glass, her usual flippant smile vanished, and she looked at Luo Ge with a serious expression.

Nanahoshi also turned his head slightly, his gaze lingering on Luo Ge's face for a long while.

As for Roxy...

She was still chewing on the half-eaten piece of bread in her hand when she suddenly almost choked.

Wait a moment!

What's going on?!

My disciple, Roxy, has become one of the Seven Great Powers?!
