258 End

Zwaka used every ounce of his power left to send Alex and the others as far as possible to the south. He almost used the entire Spiritual Energy left inside the realm.
His realm had become a normal realm, and the barrier that was separating his realm and the outside world started cracking. He looked at his translucent hand that began to disappear completely. He knew that his time had finally ended.
But, in the last few seconds, he had in his life, he couldn't help but smile.
"I have lived by myself this entire time. My master had taught me many things and changed my life from an unknown kid to a renowned Rank 6 Array Master.
"My master told me to get a companion so that I could get stronger together, but women took advantage of me, and men became friends with me because of my prestige. Eventually, I couldn't trust people anymore.
"Even so, I always lived by the light like what my master wanted me to do. I challenged many evils and purged them. But I made too many enemies, including those who walked in the light, and it became my demise.
"That kid... When I met that kid for the first time, I could see my past in him. He who had lost his trust in people slowly regained it back. He must have a good master and companions.
"If my master was alive when I lost my path, maybe I could become stronger like that kid and regain what I had lost. But all of it didn't matter anymore.
"In my final days, I was able to meet a trustworthy sprout of this era. He will walk in his path and soar through the sky as well as achieve his dreams. Unlike me, he had those potentials.
"At last, I go to where my fallen master awaits... Ah, I could even see my master smiling at me too. Lad, I hope you can achieve your dreams."
Zwaka smiled while closing his eyes. He finally disappeared.
"Crack!"
As soon as Zwaka disappeared, every corner of the barrier was cracking before it suddenly broke. The white building also crumbled to the ground.
Outside, many influences had been waiting in front of the barrier.
Four sects and two kingdoms had been waiting in front of the barrier. After the mysterious teleportation incident, every person immediately informed their influences. The possibility of someone having gotten the inheritances were high. Because of that, every influence wanted to know who it was and, if possible, grasped the inheritances.
Another surprising thing that happened in this past month was the alliance between Rainbow Flower Sect and Mount Hua Sect. Only a few people knew about the inheritances. One of them was the daughter of the sect master of Rainbow Flower Sect.
Although she couldn't report about Alex and the others, she could still say the thing she got. And the possibility of someone achieving it was a hundred percent.
When her mother asked her who had gotten the inheritances, she couldn't answer it because of Heavenly Oath. She could only say her deduction according to his power that he must come from Mount Hua Sect. Of course, it was only her misunderstanding.
Even though she couldn't say his ability, she could say that this person would be able to dominate this continent in the future. She had seen Alex's Pure Fire, Array Mastery, and with the garden, she deduced that Alex was also an Alchemist. With all of that, only Mount Hua sect could nurture such a person.
Surprisingly, Alex wasn't known in the Mount Hua Sect. That's why she suggested an alliance between two sects. She thought about sacrificing her life for the sect.
And finally, Rainbow Flower Sect announced a big thing. They said the only daughter of Rainbow Flower Sect had fallen in love with someone in Mount Hua Sect and wanted to marry him.
It was big news, especially for Mount Hua Sect. They immediately searched for who she had fallen in love with. Every young master in the sect was present when she was searching for him. Sadly, she didn't find Alex. After all, Alex came from Heavenly Sword Sect.
Mount Hua Sect's young masters immediately became dejected and burned with jealousy. She abided with her Heavenly Oath about not going against him in the future. But, her action, unknowingly influenced those young masters.
So, it wasn't her that was going to go against him but them. After all, the beauty of her was well known on the continent. She was one of the top beauty on the continent.
Fortunately, the alliance was still intact. Mount Hua Sect kept proposing to her, but they were rejected by Rainbow Flower Sect. They even threatened them with their alliance, but Rainbow Flower Sect was adamant about it.
On the other hand, Putri also reported about what happened in the Death Forest to Charya, including the inheritances. After hearing that, she was shocked that Alex was the one who received the inheritances.
After considering the pros and cons for a while, Charya decided not to report it to the sect master. Even with Alex's mysterious master, there was a chance for the sect to grab them by force. After all, Alex's mysterious master had never shown himself.
Even with the prestige of restoring Seven Stars Cut, it wasn't enough. After all, Putri alone managed to get two Mid Heaven Tier Martial Arts. What could a low Heaven Tier Sword Art like Seven Stars Cut do against them?
It was enough to make those elders crazy. Because of that, she decided not to tell them about it. If she met Alex, she would tell him about the inheritances. If he wanted to give it to the sect, then it was fine. But if he didn't want to, then she wouldn't tell anyone else about it.
The last group of people that knew about it was the group of Southern Kingdom.
The second princess and Eric tried to ask Putri about the inheritances nicely. But Putri kept saying she didn't know anything. She kept fleeing not long after they left her. They wanted to catch up with them, but Putri and Alex were injured so they couldn't.
They were recovering inside a cave the whole time. She didn't even tell her friend or even her fiance about the truth. After all, she also made a Heavenly Oath without Alex knowing about it.
She only took advantage of him if she didn't make that oath, and that feeling kept burning her heart. After she made that oath, her heart soothed. Although it pained her to lie to her friend and fiance, she needed to.
They asked about Alex whereabout, but Putri said he came back to his hometown and will come back to the sect later. After many arguments, they could only go back empty-handed.
They thought Alex was the one who kept the inheritances as Putri refused to give an answer about him. So, they secretly planned to deal with Alex.
...
In front of the barrier on Death Forest,
The moment they saw the barrier cracked, they were alarmed about it. Charya also came to this place. Although Putri said that the owner would teleport them to somewhere far away for safety purposes.
Charya wanted to check it herself. If Alex were not in here, she would rest assured when she came back. She hoped that Alex wasn't here.
Not long after, the barrier broke into pieces.
"Go!"
Many influences started marching inside. After the barrier collapsed, they didn't have any restrictions anymore. So, even Martial Lord could come inside the Death Forest.
But the most devastating thing was when the Zhou Kingdom found the corpse of their second prince. It became huge news. But no one knew who killed him. The Zhou Kingdom put the bounty for whoever killed their second prince, and they even made a large scale investigation.
Although the Zhou Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom didn't send their officials, they still sent a few men to investigate, especially the Zhou Kingdom as their second prince never came back. And they finally found out that their second prince was killed.
"Boom Boom!"
Suddenly, they heard a big sound from the center of Death Forest. When they looked at it, it turned out to be the white building. The white building was crumbling to the ground. All of them immediately came toward the white building.
It was one of the mysteries that never solved. They were curious about the inside of the white building, but everything had been given to Alex. So, they didn't find anything other than monster corpses. Even so, they kept searching for everything they could find.
...
Two hundred miles away from the Death Forest. Alex appeared in a forest that he never knew. Alex tried to look at his surroundings from the sky.
He could only see trees around him. He activated his Spirit Eyes to see whether there was something special in this place but couldn't find anything.
Alex descended to the ground again and asked Anna and Fabio, "What are we going to do? I don't know where we are."
"I don't bring the map, nor I have remembered it. I'm sorry," Anna apologized.
Alex shook his head, he also only remembered the map vaguely. He only knew that the Southern Kingdom was in the south. He said, "I am relying on you too much, so it is also my fault. Now, the problem is what to do with this."
"How about asking Nelson. He should know."
"Hmm... Let's do that," Alex nodded. He took out Nelson's card, "Nelson, do you know the place two hundred miles away from Death Forest?"
"Direction?"
"South."
"That place is called Nemu Forest. It is a high-level forest, and many Lord Stages monsters reside there. I was planning to have Leoz grinding there after he finished his job in this war. Why did Young Master ask about this place?"
"Ahem, I am in this Nemu Forest right now," Alex said in an embarrassed tone.
"..." Nelson was speechless. "Well, just fly toward the south. The battle between the Zhou Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom is in the south of that forest. So, you should be able to find it if you go to the south. The battle is near Minks City and behind that city lies the capital city of Southern Kingdom.
"But please be careful, it is one of high-level forests. Not many people want to go there because of the high death-rate. With Anna and Fabio there, you should be fine. Or you can travel through the inner space with your Space Gate.
"Although it might deplete your Spiritual Energy, it should be safer."
"Alright, thank you. I'm going now."
"Yes, Young Master."
Alex turned to Anna and Fabio, and he said, "This place seems to be Nemu Forest. It is a dangerous forest that has many Lord Stage Monsters. The battlefield is in the south of this forest. So, we will go toward the south."
Anna asked, "Are Young Master planning to let others hunt in here?"
"... Maybe later, but first, you need to get stronger first. Anyway, let's go."
Anna and Fabio nodded. Because Jeanne's and the others' level, Alex didn't summon them for the time being and flew toward the south. Alex tried to save his strength as he might need it later. After all, he wasn't sure if his energy was enough to cross the entire forest using his Space Element.
He decided to use it if he met any danger. Alex, Anna, and Fabio then moved toward the south. Alex activated his Spirit Eyes to search for monsters.
They sometimes needed to go around when they found a group of Lord Stage monsters. But they would kill Lord Stage Monsters in their way if their number were only one to three. They needed to kill those monsters as soon as possible so they wouldn't attract other monsters in their surrounding.
They had crossed around fifty miles to the south but had yet to see the edge.
After a few more minutes, Alex found a huge amount of dark energy in front of them. He was startled when he saw that.
"Anna, Fabio, there is a huge amount of Dark Element in front of us. It is not like Anna's Dark Element. When I saw the Dark Element, I got the feeling it was ominous.
"I tried to check it and found many signs of energy. I found many Lord Stages being inside there. What should we do?"
"..." Anna pondered. It seemed that it was like the place they were not long ago. But, in Zwaka's place, they only met many Grandmaster Rank monsters. But the place Alex said just now, it had numerous Lord Stage monsters.
Even though Anna and Fabio were Martial Lord, their strength wasn't enough.
"We should go around for the time being. I'm sure that Young Master wants to explore that place, searching for EXPs and Tickets. But, we need strength first. We could try to scout at that place first before we enter," Anna said.
Alex nodded, "I don't find any barrier energy that will prevent us either. Maybe, I can ask Elder Charya about this later and find some information about this place."
"Yes, let's do that."
They then went around the place and continued their way toward the battlefield.
