Da morte and the dark lord appeared from thin air in the proibida realm. Da Morte wasn't comfortable at all with the change of scene. The Dark Lord reassured him by assuring him that nothing would happen to him.
"This is the proibida realm," the Dark Lord announced.
Proibida realm was the reality where all Demon pets originated and it is where most of them lived.
Da morte calmly observed the scene. He saw Demon pets in a variety of vegetation and landforms. He saw a demon pet called "Mouse Willow," which was a koala that had fire flames as its skin. The Mouse Willow was sniffling at the base of an enormous sunflower plant.
The plant had bloomed. The beautiful sun flower turned into a terrifying, ferocious looking maw which descended on the unsuspecting Mouse Willow and the swallowed it.
Da morte cursed in fright, "What the f**k!"
After catching its prey unawares, the sunflower returned to being its beautiful, attractive self.
Every living thing in the scene became sickened all of a sudden, and their lives began to fade away. The Dark Lord and Da Morte were exceptions.
Da Morte asked, "What is happening?"
"I'm killing them."
The reply seemed to snap Da Morte back to reality. He remembered that he was beside a powerful monster who was under the guise of a human being.
The Dark Lord noticed the chosen one's subtle change in attitude. He shook his head and said, "The act of showing fear, especially for the safety of your life, is a weakness that is easy to exploit." "And when it is exploited, the victim of exploitation is very likely to suffer significant loss."
The Dark lord paused for a while. The creatures died and Da Morte and his master silently watched.
The Dark lord broke the silence, "My arcane mystic aura is killing them. Whenever I enter this reality, living things begin to die. I'm not sure why. I have tried different powerful spells to stop it, but they don't work."
"This reality made me realise that everyone has a limit to their powers and that we are still dependent organisms."
"I knew that this weakness of mine would make our people doubt my prowess. That was why I needed to get someone who was powerful and imposing to be by my side. That was why I chose you. I chose you to lead what I couldn't achieve. "
The creatures seemed to be getting better. It was then that Da Morte noticed that the space around him and his master was warping. They returned to the oak tree area.
Da Morte was now convinced that the Dark Lord had good, selfless intentions that would benefit the Witch Craft Faction. He half kneeled with his head bowed and gave a zogoist salute.
Then, he apologised to the Dark Lord. "I will serve the Faction selflessly, my lord. Show me the way," he said.
The Dark lord revealed that element casters had gotten weaker over the decade because of the lack of demon pets that would aid their mana cultivation. The Dark Lord wanted the chosen one to return to the proibida realm and then tame and bring back the Demon pet called "twelve-winged water Pegasus."
He was to commence the mission immediately. The Dark lord gave him a ring artefact and word spells that will help open a portal to the Proibida realm.
He wore the ring on his right ring finger. He said the word spells and then drew a visible, large-diameter golden ring with the right ring finger. The lumen in the drawn ring was the portal way to the Proibida realm.
He moved towards the ring and stopped to look behind. He said to his master, "Expect my return soonest, my lord."
"May the hopes of the Faction be with you?"
The Witch Craft Faction otherwise known as the spell binders tribe, were a tribe of people who, alone amongst the entire population of Planet Earth, were gifted in the mystic arts.
The Spellbinders tribe originally lived on an island tens of kilometres off the coast of Brazil. After things didn't turn out well for them recently, they were forced to make a new home on Sitio Escuro.
Unlike the rest of humanity, the spell binders had known about the "system" since eight centuries ago. It was with the help of the system that individuals of the tribe knew their progress in mystic art cultivation over the centuries.
The spell binders meditated to cultivate qi, which they used to increase the strength of their mystic power.
Two decades ago, the tribe's scientists theorised that there were other realities on Earth which were caused and separated by Earth's gravitational warps. This was after the scientists observed a tribe person escape into a pocket dimension and return.
The pocket dimensions, according to the scientists, were the space between the various realities that existed.
The theory was not shared with the rest of the world and was maintained as a tribe secret.
At that time, the theory triggered a lot of powerful spell binders to develop spells that could breach through realities. Countless spells were tried, and they failed.
Eventually, one spell worked. And the one who brought up the spell was none other than the Dark Lord. The spell granted him the title of the most powerful spellbinder then. Since then, he has remained the most powerful spell binder to this day.
At that time of breakthrough, the tribe's people desired to know what the Dark Lord's real name and gender were, but he told them his gender didn't matter and he introduced himself as the Dark Lord.
He told the people then that all that mattered to him was to see the tribe grow to the ultimate peak. All he did was for the tribe.
Then and now, some tribes' people were dying to know the Dark Lord's gender.
