Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World-Novel

The young Roku managed to find a lucky chance that ultimately shifted his destiny, from a speck of dust in the Aeternum Empire's history to one of its most outstanding geniuses.

Of course, that monstrous talent drew the envy and greed of many influential people, and the number of times Roku almost perished was countless.

However, the boy always found a way out, a path to survival. No matter how bleak the situation could become, King Roku always strived forward and never let hopelessness defeat him.

After many years, the powerhouses of the empire found out the lucky chance Roku encountered when he was a little kid. The boy searched through historical records and discovered a shrine where Ivar the Flawless cultivated during his childhood.

No one knew what he found there, but the words Ivar pronounced to Roku when they first met each other told everybody that their destinies connected in the past.

Even if all the Kings wanted nothing more than to see Roku dead, all of them respected the boy who rose from a hopeless background until the highest stage of the Aeternum Empire.

The fat King's behavior drew their disdain, but they did not dare to show it in the open for fear of generating a wrong impression in King Bork, so they limited themselves to nodding and smiling..

King Bork also smiled at the fat Royal's words, but suddenly, his expression changed, and he began to frown.

Immediately, silence reigned in the room as everybody focused on King Bork, and they could not help but begin to feel anxious when they saw his expression.

One of the reasons they chose King Bork was the man's legendary wits and scheming mind. Unless it involved Beings of Law, nothing could disturb him, so seeing him act like that worried them.

King Bork took a deep breath and stared at the rest of the Royal before speaking.

"The Soul Rune Convention will start in one week, nine months ahead of the original schedule."

Confusion appeared in the Kings' faces when they heard those words. While the news was surprising, it should not have affected King Bork that much.

The fat King was also confused, but since he saw how the news affected King Bork, he did not hesitate before starting to bark again.

"Tritus Fonder, a trifling Rank 5 life form, really has the gall to push up the date without any warning. Future Emperor Bork, you should make an example of him, showing to everybody what happens when they break their word!"

Unlike previous occasions, King Bork was not in the mood to hear the fat Royal and gave him a stern look that shut him up before speaking again.

"According to my sources, the Empire Commercial Association will release a statement saying that those who already had tickets but could not attend can only blame their bad luck."

If before they were confused, now they were shocked. Each of the people present was a Rank 6 life form and a King, but none had the guts to flip off so many influential characters of the empire.

Many of the Kings have some knowledge about Tritus Fonder, and while the man was highly competent, he definitely did not have the guts or power to back up such a bold declaration.

Luckily for them, King Bork's following words were enough to answer their questions.

"Not long ago, I received a report depicting Tritus Fonder and many people of his inner circle leaving the Empire Commercial Association's headquarters. According to the spy's words, they all had a nervous yet excited expression on their faces, as if they were about to meet someone very important. Before, I did not give it much importance, but now everything has changed!"

Tritus Fonder and his inner circle marched to meet an important person. The Soul Rune Convention's starting in a week instead of nine months. The Empire Commercial Association will release a statement that clearly showed they do not care if they angered dozens of Rank 6 life forms.

Other than the fat Royal, every King was brilliant, and they connected the dots very fast. However, the conclusion at which they arrived made them pale.

The image of a man with eight majestic wings, eyes that could see beyond life and death, and a comprehension of the universe they could not even begin to grasp appeared in their minds.

In the end, it was King Bork who spoke the words everybody was thinking of.

"Zatiel Daybreak is inside Icarus."

Those words were like punches landing in their chest. They were so close to victory, with everything under their grasp and countless contingency plans put in place so nothing could take them by surprise.

Nevertheless, when they thought of the man who could seal the fate of a great organization's leader with nothing more than a few words, who could give commands to John Erick Rebellion, and who could speak as equals with their Ancestor, nothing seemed enough.

"Even if that man was mighty in his past life, now he is just a Rank 5 life form. I am sure that when you become Emperor, he will have to bow his head and recognize you as someone superior."

Once again, it was the fat King, the one who spoke first. This time he did not roar as before, but everybody could hear his voice's prideful tone.

In the fat King's mind, even someone who once reached immortality would have to bow to the man he served, which made him feel great satisfaction.

Unfortunately for the fat King, unlike before when the other Kings nodded and smiled at his words, this time they all looked at him with wide eyes filled with horror.

The fat King became nervous when he saw the way the rest were looking at him.

"Future Emperor..." He turned around and tried to speak with King Bork. Before he could finish his words, he saw two eyes full of wrath, and then a hand struck him with so much strength that his body almost exploded.

"BOOM!" The fat King collided against the walls of the room. That attack broke almost every bone in his body and severely wounded his inner organs.

"Trash, if you want to die, just go out and commit suicide, but don't you dare to drag us down with you!" King Bork's face showed the immense rage he felt right now, and the next instant, he released the full power of his consciousness.

A consciousness that could pierce a moon overflowed every corner of the castle, and King Bork only relaxed after making sure there was no one hearing their discussion.

The other Kings said nothing about their leader's behavior. On the contrary, they felt that King Bork handled the situation perfectly.

If King Bork failed to react to the fat King's words, it could be taken as him tactically supporting that statement.

Many of them saw how Salazar Rasputin ate his family alive, and the idea of angering a monster capable of such cruelty terrified them.

King Bork noticed how the fat Royal could not even stand up after his attack but did not care and looked at the other Kings before speaking with a severe tone that allowed no disobedience.

"From what I learned of his personality, that man would disdain to interfere with the fight for the Emperor's title, so if we stay away from his path, it should be enough for him to leave us alone."

Once he saw the Royals nodding, King Bork was ready to leave as he was no longer in the mood to continue celebrating, but a sharp light appeared in his eyes.

"Also, send every Champion to meet me tomorrow. I need to talk to them."

The Kings got a bad feeling when they saw the coldness in King Bork's eyes, but none dared to refuse.
