Carlos Twilight
He removed the space lock from the 10km area and made sure to absorb all of the radiation from this place. Then he came to terms that this much destruction would surely anger the king, especially since he killed the king's oldest son.
"Oh boy, now what? Oh yes, it's time for a strategic retreat," Azkar thought and decided to leave this place before anyone saw him. He used the [Void Travel] ability to teleport himself to the Silvermoon City.
[Author Note - He can travel to any place he has seen before using the void travel ability, and he has memories of the vampire lord Armand, whom he killed a while ago, so he has some memories of that city too.]

"How did this happen? Who dares to kill my son in my own empire? Tell me now, Victor," Carlos was currently consumed by immense anger and immeasurable hate for the person who not only killed his son but also mercilessly massacred 20 thousand noble vampires.
"My lord, I apologize for my worthlessness, but we were not able to identify the culprit behind this massacre. However, we did find out the reason behind the massacre... I," Victor tried to explain the situation, but before he could say more, he saw the bloodlust in the eyes of the person in front of him.
"Enough, Victor. It doesn't matter about the reason or anything. Do I look like I care about these worthless petty details? Just find the person behind this attack. If not, I'll definitely destroy this planet. Even if I have to sacrifice everything, I'll kill every single living being on this planet," Carlos said, immense bloodlust and hatred visible in his crimson blood-red eyes. He had completely lost his sanity.
"My lord, I'll contact the Holyland. I'll definitely find this culprit," Victor didn't try to comfort him because he knew that doing so wouldn't end well. He also felt immense anger for the person responsible for the massacre, as some of his relatives had died in this incident.
"No, tell the elders that if they truly want this planet in one piece, they need to identify the culprit behind the massacre. Otherwise, they'll get nothing from me. Also, execute every single person you have even a slight amount of suspicion about," Carlos said, unable to think properly.
"Selina, my dear, I couldn't protect our child. I'm sorry," he never dreamed that someone would have the courage to kill his son and create such chaos in his empire. He thought about the promise he made to his dying wife, that he would protect their child, but everything happened so fast that he couldn't even sense a little presence of any mana, and he failed his promise.
Yes, as a world-rank expert, he can usually sense such situations easily, but since Azkar used an attack without mana, he could only find out about everything after the attack had already happened. Even though he reacted very quickly, he couldn't make it there in time. Everything unfolded so rapidly that he himself felt powerless against the situation.
"Hahahaha, I'll kill you, son of a bitch, no matter who you are. I'll find out about you, and then I'll show you what a true massacre looks like," Carlos started to laugh, tears streaming down his face.
"Hahaha, this must be a mistake. I, the destroyer of a thousand worlds, crying? No, it must be a mistake," he couldn't accept the fact of how much he loved his oldest child, the last bloodline of his mother's lineage. He always spoiled him, turning a blind eye to Afrit's actions behind his back. He was well aware that his oldest child desired to kill him to seize the empire, yet despite knowing everything, he still loved his child.

[ Zenith Empire - Silvermoon City ]
Seeing the situation of the city, he couldn't find any words to describe it. The whole city looked like a barren place filled with blood, dead bodies scattered everywhere, abandoned buildings, most of which were not even in one piece. Everything inside the city seemed lifeless, resembling a ghost town with a creepy atmosphere. The only living things he could notice were low-level demons and demonic beasts, feasting on the dead bodies.
"Judging by the situation of the bodies, it must have happened recently, maybe a day or two ago. But this much bloodshed is not good," Azkar thought, yet it didn't affect him in the slightest.
[ Absolute Looter Applied ]
[+200 Law Crystals of Water, Fire, Darkness, Earth, Air, Space, obtained]
[+200 Bloodline Crystals obtained...]
[10,000+ Years of memories obtained]
[ +20 Soul Pearls obtained ]
[ +20 Life Pearls obtained ]
"..."
New loot!
Seeing the prompt in front of him, he smiled slightly, now thinking, "Hahahaha, worth it."
He focused on the new pearl he obtained: Soul Pearl.
[ Soul Pearl :: Pristine in nature and unobtainable through normal means, a single soul pearl contains the purest form of soul essence. Upon consumption of a single pearl, it can increase Soul Value by +1000. There is a +1% chance that the consumption of a large amount of soul pearls can awaken a unique soul according to the person's origin. ]
"..."
Ridiculous!
"This is just too balance-breaking. If this loot were known to the outside world, they'd die to get their hands on this."
"Hey, system, is this pearl going to help me in any way?" Azkar understood that this is a heaven-defying cheat item, but if it's not going to help him, it's useless.
[Master, this pearl can increase soul value by adding the soul value present in the soul pearl. However, since you have a limitless amount of soul value, this pearl won't help you much. But there is a chance you can evolve your soul using this pearl.]
"Okay, I'll try this later, but let me check the other one," he said while focusing on the Life Pearl.
[ Life Pearl :: Pristine in nature and unobtainable through normal means, a single life pearl contains the purest form of life essence. Upon consumption of a single pearl, it can increase lifespan by +1000. There is a +1% chance that the consumption of a large amount of life pearls can awaken a unique physique according to the person's origin. ]
"This crystal is also the same. I can live for eternity, as long as someone doesn't decide to kill me, and this crystal is not going to help me in any way, but it can definitely help me in the evolution of my body," Azkar thought.
Yes, Azkar is completely immune to the aging process, having an infinite lifespan as the living embodiment of the very fundamental unit of existence that makes up everything inside the halo. Until even a single "origin codic particle" exists in this reality, he will not die, no matter what happens.
He felt disappointed seeing both loot items. No matter how much value these things hold in others' eyes, they're worthless to him if they don't provide anything useful. He thought, "Maybe when these loot items evolve, they will become better," giving himself hope.
"Check all of the memories I received and organize the important details," Azkar said to his system.
Seeing the city in its worst condition, he wanted to know what happened, so he surveyed the area around him to find any powerful demon.
"Found you," Azkar said, while smiling devilishly.
