Book 2: Chapter 12 (5/12)

After Kain left the room, Watcher Zorim stood up, lightly shook her head, and whispered to herself, “I have predicted this would have happened. Kain Bersk, you won’t be able to leave this Timeless Dungeon alive. I can’t believe you can see through my lies about Heaven and Hell used to be in the same realm. You are not that dumb after all.”

Besides constant wars on the higher realms. There was another game that many Watchers have been playing together for many calendars. That was to help slaughter societies on the planets that they don't manage. The Creator prevented the Watchers from coming into the planets that they didn't manage to prevent their interferences. Despite that, the Watchers have been and will always find a way to mess with each other's planets. Watcher Zorim remembered how she helped created mass genocide on three small planets that Tykan watched over. The Creator then took those planets from Watcher Tykan for his failures and granted them to Watcher Zorim instead. She smiled and said, “You have taken me by surprise in Vierna Pharm's case. But I have prepared Toria Continents to be able to defend itself and drive off the evil that you helped plant. I will not lose that planet to you, Tykan.”

Vierna Pharm was supposed to destroy the human race in Toria Continents per Watcher Tykan's order. But her time to become a God Mage came by surprise and she traveled to higher realms, free herself from his control. After becoming a God Mage, Vierna refused to serve Watcher Zorim in the higher realms because of what she had done to Toria Continents. Vierna didn't work for Watcher Tykan either because he tricked and possessed her body to commit horrible crimes on that planet instead of just granting her the power that he promised. That was why she agreed to serve a different Watcher and willing to fight against the God-tiers who work for Tykan and Zorim.

The Mages Council of Toria Continents was built to keep that planet in order and protect it from being invaded by powerful monsters and magical creatures that came from other realms through the giant portals that opened once every million years. If Kain destroys the Mages Council, it would create chaos and instability throughout Toria Continents. Rebuilding another Mages Council from the scratch wouldn't be that easy and it won't surely make things better than it was. More importantly, Toria Continents have brought many powerful God Warriors and God Mages to serve Watcher Zorim in the higher realms for the past forty-eight calendars. She wanted to keep things that way which was why Kain wanting to destroy the Mages Council disturbed her.

After Kain walked out of the room, the entire building vanished leaving him standing alone in a desert environment. Kain was trying to figure out what happened but then a figure suddenly flew from the sky down on the ground. Kain looked at the figure and noticed he was a human but had a pair of Dragon Wings on his back. The man was holding a crossbow in his right hand but he didn't carry any bolt quiver. A short sword could be seen holstered on his right hip.

Kain thought to himself, “Needless to say, this man must be my opponent. A human having a pair of Dragon Wings, how amusing.”

Kain quickly unlocked his Magical Storage Ring, took out the Magical Robe embedded with six Magical Blood Stones, six Magical Conjuration Stones, and six Magical Demonic Stones, then immediately put it on. Kain put away his Magical Robe because it was damaged after the battle with Evienne Lucifuge in the Tenth-tier. Because of his knowledge in crafting Magical Equipment, Kain fixed the Magical Robe by himself but then put it away and only used it when needed to prevent unnecessary damages.

Kain didn’t know how strong his opponent was, but he must use all the good Magical Equipment that he had since Blood Equipment was prohibited for this match.

Watcher Zorim appeared behind the man and said, “Kain Bersk, he will be your last opponent for this Timeless Dungeon.”

Kain looked around and saw there were no Watchers watching, he asked, “No audience?”

“There will be no audience. Just you, me, and him. If you can defeat him, you will win the match and complete this Timeless Dungeon. Let me give you a hint. There will be no possible way for you to kill him. His name is Flint Duril. He is the newest God-tier Warrior who came from Toria Continents.”

“A God-tier Warrior huh? No wonder why Iris said my opponent won’t be weaker compared to a Devil.”

“You can win either by killing Flint or forcing him to surrender. As long as Flint admitted that he has lost, you will be announced as the winner. But let me promise you this, Flint Duril won't admit defeat for this match.”

“Isn't this match a bit unfair for me? How can a Saint-tier Mage be able to beat a God-tier Warrior? This is unheard of.”

“To make it fair for you, I have chosen Flint since he is still new to being a God-tier. As Iris has told you, Magical Blood Equipment will be prohibited for this match.”

“I know, that is kinda messed up. I can't use Blood Equipment when facing a God Warrior, my chance of winning has tremendously reduced.”

“Yes, but there is another condition. Because you have recently bound your Conjurer Soul to a Devil, your Conjurer Soul will be prohibited for this match as well. Having a Devil companion can help you win this battle much easier that is why I have decided to not let you use your Conjuration Magic. Like I have said, you can't win this match.”

Kain wasn’t surprised to see Watcher Zorim created this unfair condition for him. Kain started thinking, "By having [Devil Anatomy] spell, I can still have a chance to win against a God Warrior. But transforming into a Devil would prevent me from being able to use any other type of magic including Blood and Black Magic. The good thing is, my Devil form will still be able to benefit from having access to the four health pools and eight blood pools inside my Vampire Emperor’s stomach.”

Seeing how Kain wasn't nervous like she expected, Watcher Zorim warmly said, "Kain, you can still accept my offer to become either a God Mage or God Warrior and serve me in the higher realms. Your chance of winning against Flint Duril here is zero percent, don't walk yourself into a death road."

Kain smirked and said, "I will fight with that God Warrior. You don't have to waste any more time asking me useless questions."

Watcher Zorim angrily snapped her finger as she said, “Very well. Everything has been set. Your Conjuration Magic will now be prohibited. The ability to use [Infused Blood] spell will also be prohibited.”

Kain already knew [Infused Blood] spell will be prohibited, because that was how Zorim can prevent him from using Magical Blood Equipment. Kain eagerly said, “Enough rambling. I'm ready!”

Kain immediately felt that he lost access to his Conjuration Magic after Watcher Zorim snapped her finger. This wasn't an arena where Watchers will be watching his performance, but an endless empty desert battlefield between Kain and Flint. They stared at each other waiting for Watcher Zorim to give the signal for the battle to start. Five seconds later, Watcher Zorim waved her hand as the signal to start the fight.
