Chapter 930  Keep It a Secret

Some of them were unknown even to the likes of Evelyn.

Gelmar, Dindora, and Linthia are still working hard to regulate the city optimally.

In addition to their existing, time-consuming tasks, they were also undergoing rigorous training to prepare themselves for more demanding roles that Rex had already outlined but had not yet assigned, recognizing that their current sixth-rank realm powers left them extremely ill-prepared.

Currently at the town square, the three of them gathered early in the morning.

None of them has had a wink of sleep the last couple of days ever since Rex\'s departure, the citizens were in constant need of assurance and help in this early stage, and thus it takes quite a toll on them.

Only Linthia, a Dark Fairy has no problem being sleep-deprived.

"Morning..." Linthia greeted softly.

Gelmar and Dindora smiled weakly in return as the morning, the time when everyone should be the freshest was the opposite for them, the two had bags under their eyes and were sitting under the shade.

Seeing their state, Linthia proposed, "Both of you don\'t look good, take the day off"

"How can I do that? I would need to take care of most of the mutated animals\' needs until the others got used to it. Also, I still have to create more fertilizer in addition to supervising the people on the farm lest they ruin the crops" Dindore replied with a sigh, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

In addition, Gelmar also nodded in agreement, "I can\'t leave my post to supervise the guards"

"My work is in mapping the city and special buildings are flexible, the section I\'m assigned to is not that hard either. They are also not urgent either. Just take the day off, I\'ll handle it and tell Lady Evelyn about this" Linthia insisted, feeling bad for the two.

As a Dark Fairy, she doesn\'t need to sleep at all.

Compared to an Elf and a Dryad, she could work non-stop without losing focus.

Upon hearing this, Gelmar and Dindora looked at Linthia in appreciation, looking as if she was an angel. It was a much-needed help as even now, the two of them could already see doubles from the exhaustion gnawing their minds.

Only with the burning desire to serve their new home were they able to persevere.

Just then, Linthia glanced around the place in confusion.

"By the way, where is Lady Evelyn?" She mused, finding that Evelyn was nowhere to be seen.

Evelyn usually came earlier than the three of them.

Despite the tense situation, she would take the time of her day to listen to their daily reports about the obstacles and situation of the city in general before she helped out the people with a smile on her face until the sun was at its peak.

It was quite surprising and refreshing to see her taking care of the citizens.

Gelmar and Dindora gazed at the castle in the distance.

Not once has Evelyn been late for this early meeting, this is the first time for her to do this.

"Sir Gelmar!"

Suddenly, a voice called out for Gelmar from the side.

Turning his head to the source of the voice, he frowned when he saw a city guard rushing towards him from the city gate\'s direction. He quickly stood up and asked, "Osku, what are you doing abandoning your watch post?"

"A messenger from the Dark Elf is in front of the gate" Osku quickly replied.

Upon hearing this, the frown on Gelmar\'s face deepens fearing that this might be a stress messenger that\'s in search of Rex. But Osku, recognizing the worry added assuringly, "It\'s not a stress signal, Sir"

Lady Evelyn comes, please inform her about this. But I\'ll try to be quick"

Raising an eyebrow, Gelmar waited for him to continue.

But instead, Osku takes a quick glance at Linthia and Dindora, signaling for privacy.

Gelmar turned towards them who also seemed to be curious about the matter and excused himself, "I\'ll be taking care of this first. If Lady Evelyn comes, please inform her about this. But I\'ll try to be quick"

Just like that, Gelmar pulled Osku away in search of a more private place.

It was then the two of them went to a secluded alley.

"So, what is it that you need to talk to me in private? What\'s the Dark Elf messenger\'s purpose for being here?" Gelmar asked, not wanting to beat around the bush as this seemed to be quite important.

Nodding his head, Osku replied, "The messenger is here to escort Lady Evelyn"

"Escort Lady Evelyn...? Where? Even if it\'s true, then why do you need to tell me this in secret from Linthia and Dindora?" Gelmar blurted out the questions that appeared inside his head, this made him even more confused.

Despite his confusion, one thing is clear. He must know this in detail.

Osku continues, his back upright as he is talking to a superior, "I was the only one told about this, and the Dark Elf messenger said that their arrival here must be kept a secret. She then told me to tell Lady Evelyn about her arrival, but I decided to tell you about this first"

Upon hearing this, Gelmar frowned in contemplation.

Sending Osku back to his post to keep an eye on the Dark Elf messenger, he made his way back to the town square, his thoughts consumed by the issue at hand. \'If she requested this to be kept a secret, then who is it that she doesn\'t want this matter to reach?\'

Clearly, something is going on but he knows too little to determine.

Just as he got back from the talk with Osku and reached the town square, she saw Lady Evelyn already talking with Dindora and Linthia, it seemed their daily early meeting had already begun.

Approaching the three, he didn\'t waste time and leaned to Evelyn\'s ear.

"My lady, a Dark Elf messenger awaits you" He whispered, observing her reaction to this.

Evelyn\'s eyes flickered when she heard this.

Smiling brightly at Dindora and Linthia, Evelyn said, "It seems our meeting will be cut short for this day. I\'ll let Linthia take over, the two of you should rest so that tomorrow you can start being productive again"

"For now, I\'ll take my leave as I have matters to attend to" She added, excusing herself.

When she was about to leave, Gelmar whispered again urgently, "Lady Evelyn, if I may, where are you going? I am tasked with the safety of the city, and that also includes you. I\'m afraid that I can\'t let you go anywhere if you don\'t tell me where you are going"

Under no circumstances that Gelmar would let her go anywhere without saying where.

He is the one who is going to answer Rex if something happens.

Considering that the situation outside is not particularly safe either, he feels very uncomfortable letting Evelyn go. But at least he would feel more at ease if he knew where she was going so that he would know where to look if something did happen.

"I\'m going to the Dark Elf Kingdom" Evelyn turned her head slightly and replied.

She then reaches out her left hand in a graceful manner and places it on Gelmar\'s shoulder, her violet eyes fixated on his eyes, "Also, I trust you would refrain from telling this to anyone. Can you do that for me, Gelmar...?"

Despite his resistance, the plea from her voice crumbles all of his defense.

"Yes, I\'ll do as you say, my Lady" Gelmar bowed, promising that he wouldn\'t tell a single soul.

Just like that, Evelyn nodded her head before leaving.

Gelmar looked at her back going further away and thought to himself, \'Usually, she puts on a warm smile and helps the people of the city, giving moral support. But when she\'s alone, sometimes, I see her spacing out in contemplation. Something must\'ve haunted her mind, and it seems now she is certain of what to do\'

Meanwhile, inside the castle.

Oblivious to what was happening, the Witch of Chaos is still inside her chamber.

Numerous kinds of herbs were scattered around the room, and there were also varying cursed tools that were levitating around her as she meditated, channeling her cursed energy to do what her heart desired.

It was then, her closed eyes started oozing a smoke of cursed energy.

The Witch of Chaos turned her head left and right, seemingly possessed as the smoke of cursed energy became even more intense to the point that the entire chamber\'s floor was covered in a cloud of bronze smoke.

But this process continued only for five minutes before her eyes jolted open.

Brak!

In that instant, the cursed tools also fell to the ground.

Gasping for air with her hand above her chest, the Witch of Chaos seemed to be exhausted, and this made Dealkandrax and the Insectoid creature approach her in worry, "It\'s fine, my Child. Only a slight over-exertion of cursed energy, nothing too serious"

Both of them whimper, showing their displeasure seeing her like this.

However, the Witch of Chaos simply rubbed their heads as a cruel smile played on her lips.

A flicker of excitement and ferocity danced in her eyes while she was doing this. Clearly, something had ignited her enthusiasm. "Yes, I can\'t believe his plan worked. It\'s not a complete weakness, but it\'s certainly exploitable. I must share this fantastic news with the Royal Black Prince"

"If played properly, this may be a factor that would make us win..." She added.

Looking into the empty space in front, the smile on her face turned playfully as her mind traveled elsewhere, "Now... Let\'s see whether you will notice this, or will your arrogance blind you from this attempt, Executor"

On the other hand, the battle still raged on in the Dwarven Kingdom.

Demon Lord Kirgil and his legion have underestimated their opponents too much.

A flock of weak Supernaturals was able to pose a considerable threat to them under the First Breath\'s blessing, making it hard for them to penetrate through and start their rampage like they usually do.

Under the help of the Tigerman and Elves, the Dwarven Kingdom stood strong.

It was a hard-fought battle, but the walls are still intact.

Seems like the teleportation formation that Adhara has devised for all allied forces has proved to be extremely useful, the process of reinforcing has been extremely efficient thanks to the teleportation formation.

Even the people were surprised that they were doing this well.

Despite being from different races entirely, a united banner made them extremely strong.

Along the top of the walls were Elves, harnessing their perfect marksmanship and showering arrows to the violently charging Rastrikan Demons, providing backup for the Tigerman and Dwarves below who were working together in a synchronized manner.

Fighting alongside each other was unbelievable.

Since the Elves and Dwarves have conflicts with the Tigerman race, this is quite surreal.

However, their altercation made them know each other well.

It was precisely because of that they knew each other\'s fighting styles and strengths, allowing them to synchronize perfectly, and become a formidable united force that even the Rastrikan Demons had a hard time breaking through.

A couple of miles away from the fight is a fight between two powerful individuals.

Flunra and Demon Lord Kirgil were also locked in a fierce fight.

Bam!

Exchanging powerful blows to the face, the two fell from the skies and landed on the ground.

Unlike Demon Lord Kirgil who managed to remain standing, Flunra crashed to the ground before pushing himself up. Evident wounds covered his entire body, but they were already starting to heal at a rapid pace.

"It\'s futile. No matter the era, I am and will always be superior" Demon Lord Kirgil declared.

Listening to this, Flunra spat blood to the side savagely.

Raising his gaze, a devious, bloody smile could be seen on his face.

Flunra exposed his sharp row of fangs that were already coated with his own blood, there was no fear or helplessness on his face, "I was here at the instruction of the Royal Black Prince, not to kill you, but to do an experiment to you"

"Hmph! Experiment? Enough with your excuses, time to die" Demon Lord Kirgil scoffed.

But it was then that Flunra raised his hand.

On the back of his hand, there was a weird combination of runes, glowing with eerie energy.

Upon seeing this, Demon Lord Kirgil frowned, but he suddenly felt a sharp sting on his forehead. Instinctively, he reached out his hand to touch it. However, his eyes widened when he sensed that something had been activated weakening his power.

It didn\'t take long before he realized what it was, "M- My slave mark... it\'s activated?"
