As the smoke and dust subsided, Arthur's eyes were free to explore the destruction. His gaze darted from place to place, observing the decimation with narrowed eyes. Yet, internally, his shock was beyond belief. However, despite the ruin, Arthur's heart was as tranquil as it could be. The Spirit of the Blade Sovereign promptly disintegrated into white particles, merging with the atmosphere while displaying a melancholic expression. Arthur plopped down atop a rough patch of dirt, assuming a meditative…-

'So this is the Divine Heavensplitting Resonance Art.' 'An Art devised carefully and intricately to shatter, to split, to destroy the Heavens through a seemingly divine power that resonates with a deep will attached to it. This is the Blade Sovereign's legacy…' 'His wish.' Arthur underwent enlightenment at that moment. Knowledge flooded his mind, with each piece representing the Blade Sovereign's life. The five strikes represented each of his five traits. Pride, Arrogance, Cruelty, Power, and…

"He doesn't have feats? The Leader of the Starbreakers does not have any feats? Do you know who he is, boy?" The Blade Sovereign's expression grew distant, and a look of longing appeared on his face. A trace of nostalgia was visible. He reminisced about the past, crossing his arms. A faint smile blossomed on his face, but he was quick to wipe it. Suddenly, he grimaced. "You… I didn't realize it before, your soul… it's smaller." "Smaller?" Arthur inquired. "It's smaller than what regular…

After composing himself–an act that took several hours–Arthur decided to continue. A narrow pathway opened up yet again, leading him to another space. However, the crimson-eyed man decided he was not ready… Yet. He sat in a corner, his head buried between his knees. A deranged smile hung on his face. 258 deaths in a matter of days… each death was equally as bad. It was only that the crimson-eyed man had adjusted to the sensation. The turmoil within his heart… he would need a few hours to…

Arthur's eyes snapped wide, a bolt of fear coursing through his body. Shudders raced down his spine as the chilling abyss that awaited souls after death felt hauntingly real. Wait... was it truly cold? Arthur couldn't remember the sensation clearly, yet it still felt so real. His heart raced, while a sharp pain that originated from his chest coursed across his body. 'Did I… die? Again?' His most recent death was vastly different when compared to his first one. Instead of a tranquil mind devoid…

The dungeon he was in… It was the resting place of the Blade Sovereign, one of the legendary figures instilled within the records of history. 'But he's dead… Wait, it was the same with the Baron Of Death… There was a presence within his legacy ground, too… But how? Are they his underlings? His followers? But it's been centuries… How are they alive?' Several questions lingered in Arthur's mind, eating away at his sanity at a gradual pace. He didn't think he needed any preparations, which…

The underground passageway led to a rather cozy space. The space was around fifty meters on each side and consisted of a metal floor, broken pipes that oozed a certain kind of rotten liquid, and the potentially hazardous smell of what seemed like… 'A sewage.' Arthur spread across the closed space, causing his sense of smell to be heightened to a dangerous degree. Although absolutely disgusted by the smell, Arthur didn't make a move. He remained silent, standing in the center of the room while…

The approaching illusions were a mixture of solidified light and shadows, bending the basic elements of Plato's belief in order to make it seem like the manipulation of reality itself. It was a profound use of such power. Arthur felt the sudden urge to open his eyes creep up his spine. It was as if two orbs rested at his shoulders, attempting to persuade him to reveal his eyeballs to the depth and profundity of Felix's Attainment. 'This is an Attainment…' Arthur felt sweat trickle down his…

"I heard the Ganghan Guild is acting as a mercenary during the upcoming conflict between Asgard and the Devas," Arthur announced, clasping his hands while staring into Felix's eyes. The Saint Sealing Devil raised an eyebrow, smiling yet again. "Your information network must be profound. This news was not to be revealed to the public for another month, perhaps two." "Hasn't it already been leaked?" "Some of it," replied Felix. Instead of being perturbed that his secretive information had been…

"...Y–You're Arthur Solace…" The guard muttered, pointing at the crimson-eyed man while struggling to release words from his mouth. Petrified, he was unable to maintain his balance, colliding with the cold, hard floor shortly after. The shock was overwhelming, considering Arthur Solace had never cared to reveal his appearance. But then why now? Why was he revealing it to a mere guard employed by the Ganghan Guild? What was his purpose? Perhaps he wished to join the Ganghan Guild? But why? Why not…
