Unseen side
"The nameless one?"
[You don't need to think about that person. Even if you wanted to, the system does not have the authority to provide information regarding that person.]
The system did not provide further explanation. That left Leon with questions about the person the Shadow Secret Manual mentioned. What caught Leon's attention was that this person was a subordinate of the Black Throne.
Leon raised his hand and pulled a book from the library. It was a book that covered a wide range of history that belonged to the magic tower of Babel. After reading for a while, Leon found what he was looking for.
Of the 7 supreme leaders, the Black Throne is the most powerful in the field of fighting and warfare. The creator of various methods and systems of close combat magic and is known as someone who has done the impossible.
There are many achievements that the Black Throne has. Even though among the seven supreme leaders he was the one who hated political games the most, the decisions he made really brought about so many changes in the history of the magic tower of Babel.
Leon turned page by page and read slowly. In his heart, he truly gave the highest respect he had to the supreme leaders of the magic tower of Babel.
Perhaps this was influenced by the amount of information he had, perhaps it was also because he saw the image he wanted to pursue from the leaders of the magic tower of Babel, but what was certain was that the admiration in his heart was not a lie.
Taking the peach in his hand, Leon walked towards the tube in front of him. He took off his clothes and slowly entered the tube. Inside, he bit into the peach in his hand.
The sweet taste of fruit juice flowed down his throat. It was a feeling he would probably never be able to forget for the rest of his life. Even though it's a little inferior to the food and drinks at Midnight Inn, it still has such an amazing taste.
A warm feeling welled up all over his body and slowly spread throughout his body. The body, soul, and consciousness that he had were slowly being forged and starting to change.
The fruit that Leon had previously eaten contained immense vitality equivalent to a Tier 5 Fruit. It was a truly precious natural treasure and Father Caihong gave it to Leon for free.
Inside the tube, Leon arranged something before his consciousness disappeared. The system screen in front of him disappeared and Leon smiled with satisfaction. "With this, my preparations can be completed. It's all up to Erick."
His attention now turned to the constitution offered by the system.
If he was asked to choose who he most wanted to follow, Leon already had a choice. Whether the faction he would join would get him into trouble or not, was not something he needed to worry about right now.
"Welcome, Tower leader. Have you made the choice you want?" The voice of a sweet woman could be heard from the tube.
"The Nameless One's constitution."
Data and several screens began to appear in front of Leon. The tube lit up and several needles were inserted into Leon's body. Even so, he felt no pain.
The female voice from the tube appeared again. "Your request has been accepted. Starting the process of forming a constitution."
After saying that, a gas was released in the tube. Leon inhaled it and slowly felt a sense of calm that he couldn't explain and lost consciousness.
On the first floor of the library, Zaratul received a message from his system.
[The leader of the magic tower of Babel has given you an order.
Investigate about someone named Angulus Wretcher in prison. When you are finished with this task, assist Erick in completing the orders given by the Tower Leader until further notice.]
Without saying anything else, Zaratul put down the book he was reading and disappeared from the library. The point he appeared was right where Leon disappeared.
Without thinking, he immediately headed towards the outskirts of the city. Maple City is roughly divided into several areas. In the outskirts, this area is referred to as Backwater which is directly connected to a large wall that surrounds the city of Maple.
In a large clock tower, Zaratul saw a large river flowing into a culvert. Although the Backwater area appears dark for the most part, some still display lights and are places where people gather.
But Zaratul's gaze only focused on the culvert where the river flows. "Based on the little girl's memories, there are many entrances that could lead inside. But to reach the Angulus Wretcher, I have to walk all the floors of the prison."
Zaratul began to raise his hand which was like a black shadow. Streams of colorless mana flowed and wrapped around his entire body and covered his figure like a black shadow.
He couldn't break through recklessly. Although he could immediately break through so easily, he didn't have such thoughts. What was important was to investigate as much information as possible regarding Angulus Wretcher, if that person might have been the one targeting his master, then he would not hesitate to eliminate that person.
Zaratul immediately disappeared and moved into the sewers. The place was very dark without the slightest light. There was only water that looked like flowing soot with a murky color.
For Blood Shadow, everything around him was something he could ignore. Moreover, their race does not have organs such as smell or sight that ordinary humans have. Even though Zaratul appears to have eyes, that is just a mistake because Eclipse's form is just a black figure that looks like a shadow.
The only eye he had was a piece of jewelry he used to give it a more pleasing shape to his Master's eyes.
"The entrance should be at the front." Zaratul was currently moving very quickly and saw a small light ahead.
Without hesitation, he mobilized his mana and formed two dark spears around him. It formed instantly and shot towards a guard standing in front of the door.
Just before the black spear impaled the guard, the sound of a bell resounded throughout the sewers.
Ring...Ring...Ring...
The bell only sounded three times. The guard who heard it immediately mobilized his magic and protected himself with a magic wall.
The two spears penetrated the magic wall but not enough to reach the targeted guard.
Before the Guard could react, Zaratul disappeared from the guard's sight. With almost no lighting, it was impossible to see Zaratul's location. Additionally, his body was hidden by the magic he possessed.
One thought immediately appeared in the guard's mind.
Danger.
"I have to hurry…" Before he finished speaking. His head floated and fell into the sewer.
"With this, the problem is solved." Zaratul appeared to be smiling while holding a brain in his hand. Just before the guard's head fell, he immediately crushed the guard's skull and immediately took out his brain.
"What a delightful dish. Coincidentally, I'm hungry right now. There's no harm in eating something while carrying out master's duties." Zaratul opened what looked like his mouth and put the brain into his body.
After finishing, he immediately entered the door and arrived at a hallway. Zaratul immediately disappeared and entered the shadows while infiltrating the interior.
Two guards who didn't realize someone had entered could only laugh while whipping the prisoners in front of them.
"Die you bastard!!! Dead! Dead! Dead!"
Not only those two people, but many did the same thing. They crazily vented the anger and annoyance they had on the prisoners here.
"How much does it cost to whip that bastard? I really hate it because it has ruined the business I own."
"Me too. Let me skin that guy over there, that bastard is really brave in destroying everything I've built!!! I absolutely will not let him come back alive in one piece."
People in black clothes and a mask that hid their appearance crowded around the various guards while offering large amounts of Coins.
They looked like people of high status and merchants with great wealth. Not only people like that, there are many kinds of people gathered here.
All with the same desire. To torture people who bother them.
Zaratul ignored them and rushed to the archives room located not far from the entrance. Inside, two guards were playing cards without realizing Zaratul had entered.
When Zaratul was about to kill him, he stopped when he saw someone familiar.
"What is Balak doing here?"
