After reminiscing about the happy times in the Mel Muna he slowly woke up from that memory and his conscious sobered up.
He looked at Canta Ann for a moment and slowly said.
"Since your words are full of sincerity and love for your niece I will accept the task of being your niece's bodyguard. As for the price, I will tell you about it later when we come back from the secret realm." Autumn said solemnly.
Canta sighed in relief when she heard him agree to her request, it felt like a huge boulder as lifted from her heart. She took deep breathe and bowed deeply to Autumn and said.
"I offer you my greatest thanks, Sir Autumn, if your party successfully protects my niece I will be willing to give you a fragment of the chaos stone."
If any of the citizens in the Winter Snow Glacier Kingdom Saw their Queen bowing to someone they would be shocked as their Queen was known for her cold and iron law words.
She won't even bend a knee to the higher upper echelon of the Divine City. This just shows how much love and care she gives to her niece.
Autumn was touched and then used his mental conscious and let her stand up from the bowing posture.
"It's okay as long as you pay the price I will do by best to protect your niece, it won't be even a hassle to protect her. So you don't have to bow to me." Autumn said lightly to Canta Ann.
Canta Ann was shocked by Autumn's words as she never heard or see someone as confident and casual as Autumn when facing the temptation of treasures.
Usually, many cultivators would ask the price to increase or would ask for her body as payment, she would receive such request countless times but this is her first time seeing someone nonchalant or not even interested in the treasures and wealth she offered.
If Autumn knows what's she as thinking about he would surely laugh as he only sees that treasure they call as garbage as it can't even reach the basic standards Autumn needed.
After being shocked for a few moments she quickly recovered and said gratefully again.
"Then I won't be bowing to you Sir Autumn but I would still like to give my thanks to you for accepting this task."
Autumn only nodded and said to her the crucial information that he wants.
"Since you are one of the information holders of the secret realm, I would like to know all the necessary information that would help us in the secret realm greatly," Autumn said seriously as the atmosphere started to become like a Japanese business meeting. (Japanese meetings are really serious meeting, If you see a business conference somewhere around the western area and consider that serious then that cannot compete with how Japanese companies take business seriously, they do need to chillax though.)
Canta Ann immediately summoned a scroll from her space ring and gave it to Autumn. He received it and slowly opened.
As he slowly reads through it his eyes were getting bigger and his killing intent suddenly unleashed full-powered.
BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
Everything around the 100,000 kilometers was covered in thick killing intent that is slowly turning corporeal. It's not even in the state of almost a substance anymore, it's getting close to becoming corporeal at this point.
Every cultivators, locals, citizen, and even the kingdoms from different places are shocked by the sudden release of that thick killing intent.
This killing intent is different from a normal killing intent, usually a cultivator's killing intent is only filled with murderous thoughts and harsh sharpness that could compare to a sword intents sharpness.
The killing intent that they were feeling right now was filled with howls of the fallen, screams of the damn, and roars of different demons and devils. It was filled with death, decay, withering, blood, carnage, and lastly destruction.
Many cultivators started to feel weak and the forest and land of the continent were slowly decaying and some trees were turning to dust.
This made everyone in the range of the killing intent felt that death was looming over there heads and the sweet release of death was really close at this point.
As everyone was ready to accept the sweet death that they were accepting. The vast amount of killing intent then quickly converted and was rapidly disappearing.
Many cultivators immediately took deep breathes as their bodies slumped down to the ground. Their face pale, eyes that lifeless like a fish but slowly gaining life, and their body gradually recovering from massive amounts of exposure to decay, withering, and death energy.
Countless cultivators where in that same predicament, even the Messengers of God were taking deep breathes as their life depended on it literally.
As they slowly recovered they looked at each other and saw the intense fear in their eyes. They nodded at each other and said in unison.
"That birth of the Prince of Destruction is already capable of destroying the plane." They said with massive amounts of fear in their voice.
There is a reason why they were shocked by this sudden discovery. First is that the Prince of Destruction is born every couple million of years or so. And every time they are born the universe is usually destroyed or just turned into nothingness.
The Prince of Destruction is not a title everyone can claim as this title requires a person to have either the aura of death and decay or destruction and withering.
Usually, someone with this auras is killed off by different kingdoms so that no Princes of Destruction is born. This has been happening since the appearance of the first Prince of Destruction billions of years ago.
The first Prince of Destruction only manage to destroy half of the universe and the universe itself was able to recover slowly with the passage of time.
So the second, third, fourth, ... 16th, 17th, 18th, .. 97, 98, and 99 were either killed from young or kill the fetus when it was still in the mother's stomach. This was to prevent them from getting stronger and destroying the universe and they never thought that the 100th Prince of Destruction was actually able to destroy the plane already with its aura.
This kind of power is truly fearsome to behold. They then quickly took a healing pill from their space ring as soon as they were able to move their hands.
Their bodies then we're surrounded with flickering green lights and their bodes we're recovering from the corrosion of the decaying or withering auras.
As they were recovering...
Autumn was at the moment was shrouded with thick killing intent that seemed to form like an armor that protected his body but not at the same time.
Mia and Sarah were surprised by Autumn's sudden outburst and the killing intent he released made them even surprised as this was the first time they saw Autumn mad.
Mia and Sarah were not affected by the killing intent and the various energy auras mixed in as they were constantly covered with that aura every night when they sleep for 10 months in the Mel Luna.
They quickly then started to calm down Autumn or he will certainly destroy everything around him in a matter of seconds. Both of them were not worried that he will suddenly start massacring as he disdains to kill weaklings and only enjoy fighting the strong even when he is going berserk.
They just don't want the beautiful environment to be destroyed and tried to calm down Autumn fast.
As for the lives of other cultivators, they won't even give a single damn about them, if they die they die this will not change the course of the world as it only moves forward.
Yeah, you read that right, the scenery is more important than the countless lives of different creatures. Well, it is understandable though since they don't really care about different people they don't know and just mostly stick around with Autumn and look at sceneries.
Autumn's killing intent then slowly subsided and converted back to his body and he looked normal again except for the blood rune on his forehead.
This blood rune was in the form of a blood droplet and there were many rune lines surrounding it.
This made Autumn looked more evil but in a good way that is, like the sentence charmingly evil that it kills people or something like that.
Mia and Sarah were mesmerized by the new evil charm Autumn gave off as their face starts to flush but quickly suppress it as this was not the time for being aroused.
They then leaned against his shoulders again and started to slowly emit a golden aura between the two of them and enveloped Autumn.
This aura was filled with warmth and gentleness, it had a very comforting atmosphere to it.
Autumn then finally calmed down when it fully enveloped him for a couple a seconds or so. He then took a deep breath and signed slowly.
He then started to remember what he read in the scroll.
"If you see this scroll and are able to understand these words means that you have discovered my secret realm the Devils Cult realm that holds massive amounts of treasures and sacrifices that can be traded with our God, Seytan the ruler of Gluttony who eats the cries of innocent children and the despair of humanity. If you want to make a wish to our God Seytan then you have to bring 500 cultivators above the rank of War King and sacrifice them to gain stronger cultivation or faster cultivation speed. And don't even dare to share this information with anyone cause if you do, you will suffer torture that makes you crave death."
This is what was written in the scroll, no to be exact the hidden text of the scroll as the surface level of the scroll only tells about the different places and treasures that can be found.
But if you ignore all that information and look deeper into the surface of the scroll you will start to see small sentences and paragraphs that were neatly organized in various corners of the scroll.
No one will notice this detail as they would be to focus on the map itself but not the text. But even if they do discover it they will not be able to understand the language as the language written in the scroll was the language of the devil.
Autumn has learned many languages in the mental world including dragon language, elf language, devil language, etc. he learned them all just for the convenience of asking around for certain information that some will know.
Or if you suddenly stumble upon a secret passage that leads to countless books and treasures that needs the language of certain creatures to understand.
As for the devil language Autumn was too familiar with that language as he always hunted them back in the mental world for 30 years non stop. He killed around maybe 150,000 devils, do note that the levels and experience the creatures in the mental world is millions upon millions better than any creature in this plane or universe.
It may be hard to believe but it's the truth so it's a great achievement to kill 150,000 devils and actually didn't lose an arm or leg for that matter.
Many devils are cruel but not all of them as some of them were kind like the Sheep devils or Slime devils that just roam around the underworld to eat hellstone and grow strong enough to fight the devils.
These kinds of devils hate their evil counterparts. But maybe these "kind" devils are just tired of being beaten to death by their "evil" counterpart.
....
Finished the novel.
Finally, I don't have to write complicated lore anymore as the story would be more focused on fighting.
Which is my specialty as I like to write fighting scenes more than lores as they give me damn headaches.
The fighting scenes are gonna be good when I write them I think. Not too sure since I will be writing tomorrow as I'm gonna grab an ice pack to cool my head.
Later nerds imma eat ice.
