Twin Soul - Book 4: Chapter 5
Watcher Zorim gave Kain a chance to enter the Timeless Dungeon not because she wanted to but because she was forced to do so by The Creator to provide entertainment for all the Watchers of the Universes. Zorim then used that opportunity to persuade Kain into working for her in the higher realms but she failed to do so. Watcher Tykan saw the potential in Kain way ahead of Watcher Zorim that was the reason he made a move to possess Kain’s Souls while Kain was attending the Timeless Dungeon because it would be impossible to do so in Toria Continents since that planet wasn’t under his supervision.
Each realm and planet have a Guardian or a Protector set by the Watcher of that realm/planet. A big realm can contain several small planets while some planets are too big and have to be placed in a realm of themselves. For example, Anwyn Richir was named the Devil Overlord and her job was to protect the Devils’ Planet which ultimately kept the order of the Hell Realm. That means the Hell Realm contained only one planet which was the Devils’ planet while the rest of the realm contained countless demons governed by the thirteen Demon Lords.
Saint Michael was named as the Commander of all Archangels and his job was to make sure no one can ever destroy the Heaven Realm. Noe Clerico was named the Protector of Toria Continents and in return, he was granted a chance of attending the Timeless Dungeon by Watcher Zorim. Unlike Kain and Arthur who attended the Timeless Dungeon of difficulty rated based on their levels at that time, Noe attended the Timeless Dungeon of difficulty rated ten which was the highest rating because he had already achieved level 100 in magical training and Eleventh Stage Saint Warrior of warrior arts. Noe has been through so much throughout his life but nothing could be compared to the time he spent in Timeless Dungeon. That was how he awakened his Monk Warrior specialization and unlocked all five phases of that awakened warrior class. Also inside the Timeless Dungeon, Noe received a Soul Advancement Stone which he used to upgrade his Conjurer Soul to Necromancer Soul and obtained powerful unique minions such as Lysander, Lien, and Lucas.
Finwe recently became the Emperor of all Evolved Thunder Eagles and his responsibility was to protect his people from outsiders such as powerful warriors and magic casters of other realms. That was also why Finwe received a Magical Portal Key so he can take revenge against anyone that dared to create chaos inside his Empire. Despite already upgrading his Thunder Soul into Delusionist Soul, Finwe didn’t have enough time of training to be comparable to Arthur Castillon or Noe Clerico. Isia was given a Soul Advancement Stone by Arthur. But similar to Finwe’s situation, she didn’t have enough training to bring out the fullest potential of the newly upgraded Archangelic Soul she obtained.
While Noe upgraded his Conjurer Soul while he was still inside the Timeless Dungeon, Arthur Castillon didn’t get his Conjurer Soul upgrade into Ethereal Soul after he received Soul Advancement Stone by completing the Timeless Dungeon. However, Arthur quickly noticed the time difference inside the planet that he has created compared to the real-time and used that advantage to receive as much training as he needed to unlock all hidden abilities and potential for his Creation Magic.
It only took Kain four seconds to make his decision. Kain shook his head lightly and said, “You said that you would legalize Blood Magic and allow Rogue Mages to come back into the Mages Council. But making me kill Kath Donoghan would mean turning me against all Rogue Mages and Blood Mages. Noe Clerico, f*ck your quest! How about you lower your knee, bow to me and I will spare your pathetic life huh? I can kill you once before, and I can do it again or die trying.” Kain raised his voice and angrily stared into Noe’s eyes as he said that.
Hearing Kain said that had made Etgar, Adrik, and Kath easied down their mind knowing Kain rather died than betraying his allies.
Noe wasn’t angry hearing Kain cursed at him. He continued laughing out loud and calmly said, “Look around you carefully before making a harsh decision. Kain Bersk, is there any-”
Noe sensed a powerful punch was coming toward him from the back and he immediately stopped communicating with Kain to avoid it. Promptly after that, a powerful wind force blew toward the direction that Noe was levitating in earlier. Looking around in the area, Noe didn’t see anyone but quickly noticed the Diamond Skeleton had vanished. Noe squeezed his eyes brown and suspiciously asked, “[Camouflage]?”
Despite already advancing into Vitality, the last phase of Awakened Monk Warrior specialization, Noe didn’t unlock any special ability such as [Camouflage]. Even when Noe can use Vitality to recharge his heal pool, but if the incoming damage he took was too strong then the healing rate he receives wouldn’t be fast enough to save his life in the long fight.
Two more incoming attacks headed toward Noe and he dodged it right on time to avoid getting injured. Noe threw a powerful punch into the air after dodging the second attack and Hagar Bersk was revealed as he blocked Noe’s punch while being pushed away seven feet in mid-air due to the powerful wind force Noe had created.
Noe smirked and mockingly said, “[Camouflage] ability wouldn’t change anything because I am much stronger than you. I don’t need such ability to-”
Before Noe could finish bragging about himself, Hagar created a greatsword out of mid-air and flew toward Noe at insanely fast speed to attack. Noe activated [Brace] and [Damage Mitigation] abilities to enhance the strength of his arms and also use them to reduce incoming damages by blocking Hagar’s sword attacks. Hagar strongly collided with Noe using his greatsword as Noe used both of his fists to defend and fought back fiercely. Their physical battle continued for around sixteen seconds as Hagar swung his greatsword at full force and managed to push Noe back several steps while both of them continued levitating in mid-air.
Continuing with his smirking smile, Noe asked, “Not only have you unlocked [Camouflage] ability, but you can create weapons at wills out of mid-air without using magic. It seems like I have underestimated you. Skeleton, tell me how you gained such an ability?”
Lunged toward Noe and strike his greatsword again at full force, Hagar honestly answered, “The ability to create all types of weapons using the surrounding air was granted to me by Watcher Tykan after he appointed me to be the Diamond Skeleton.”
“Hoh… Interesting. Did Watcher Tykan have anything to do with you playing with Toria Continents?” Noe threw a strong left-hand punch followed by a right leg kick toward Hagar after blocked Hagar’s sword strike.
Hagar continued fighting without answering Noe’s questions. Noe nodded his head and stated, “I shall destroy the Hell Realm and all the realms under Watcher Tykan’s control then.” Noe threw several powerful punches and kicks toward Hagar to force him to go on the defense mode.
