Chapter 40: Secrets revealed.

"Whew, that was intse," said a black-haired man with a face beyond perfection as he casually looked out into the dark night.

'Although, if I hadn't promised Luna I'd be here at this hour, I might still be at Alice's for a few days' he thought with a smile as he remembered leaving his wife Alice completely unconscious in bed.

They joyed several hours of shared love over several s. Although at one point Theos simply took pleasure in torturing an Alice who couldn't take it anymore.

She had started to fight back, but in the d was brutally defeated and knocked out by Theos' strgth.

"Mmm," Theos mused as he stepped outside the barrier that could not prevt his try and exit. His gaze fell on each of the guards, who guarded as much territory as possible with erect postures and steady gazes.

"Respect to the Fall," the guards said in unison, bowing to Theos as he walked past, ignoring them completely.

His left eye glowed in the dark night, and thanks to his [Hate Attraction] ability, he had hanced vision that allowed him to see everything from a great distance.

"Found you," Theos smiled faintly as he saw a small unnatural shadow in the midst of all the darkness. Suring it, his negative ergy body prepared to go there, but not before saying a few words to the guards.

"Don't tell my parts about this, or else..." and he didn't finish the stce. The next second, he disappeared from the sce completely, leaving only a blur of his image.

The guards? They didn't react, but people with ke eyes would have se sweat appearing on their foreheads despite the cold vironmt.

"Come out, I saw you," Theos said to one of the hundreds or thousands of forest trees in front of him.

Was it true? Of course not, if it was true and the cult was there, the tire Fall Family would have eliminated it without a problem. But that was not the case, ev though it was close, the place they were going to could not be se, not ev by the most powerful beings in the world.

"Corrupt Zone," he murmured in a tone so low that ev Luna couldn't hear him.

The Corrupt Zone is described in the novel as one of the most dangerous places because that's where the sect's tire conctration cter was.

It is strange because the Fall Zone compasses the tire territory, but the Corrupt Zone is within that territory, cultivated with the power of the Fall Family itself.

"Do you know why they have special mana?" he asked, turning to Luna, who shook her head sincerely.

Theos smiled and slowly explained. "The Fall family is known throughout the world for their extraordinary use of mana, but all of their members are so powerful because they have some kind of secret in mana that makes them extremely powerful.... It's something in the family's blood that they received from their ancestors," he revealed, causing Luna to be shocked.

It was true that the Fall were known to possess special mana, but everyone believed that their secret lay in some technique, skill, or crazy theory circulating on the Internet. However, she never thought that it could be something that possessed the same blood.

Theos continued, as she already understood where he was going.

"The Death Eater sect is so close to the Fall Family because they can be more in touch with the mana of the Fall Family. They have an artifact that allows them to absorb the mana, or the essce of it, from a distance. And do you know why they are so close to my house?"

Theos' footsteps stopped suddly, staring at the void itself, but he could see it with his eye.... A large door blocked his way, a door that no one but him could see.

He turned to look at Luna, and his next words st a shock through her. "Because I am The Fall, out of all these gerations, dozs of gerations, I am the one who naturally had the most of this kind of mana in my blood.... And also the purest of all."
