Chapter 670: Chapter 670: End of the World

Most of the time, the system quests seemed insignificant or unrelated. But he had noticed a pattern between them. All these quests came as a guide to him, often helping him in the process.

The quests were less like random quests and more like vague premonitions that asked him to guess its motives.

He had almost finished the quest, but he was yet to find anything useful about the King Clan. The clan was strong, and had lots of treasures. In each of their territories that he had visited, there was something special like unique herbs, or unfamiliar beasts roaming around.

It was precious, but he didn’t think it was anything particularly useful to him, to the point of risking his life in coming here.

"If this place isn’t it either, then I would have to believe that the ship was what it wanted. It would be a little harder to steal it again though."

Eren entered the last territory while rubbing his forehead. And as soon as he took a step inside, he felt his heart skip a beat.

For a moment, it felt as if the entire world around him had turned blood red. The world only returned to normal after he rubbed his eyes.

"Is this place making me hallucinate?" He pondered over the strange feeling as the last three hours timer started.

Once he finished the three hours here, he could finally learn the skill to descend and return to his world to help his clone, even if temporarily.

"How are they doing?" He asked the Spirit Queen.

This was supposed to be the most secure place out of all, but there was not a single person here guarding this place.

Even though he was using stealth, it still felt easier to infiltrate this territory than the other territories in the inner region.

"Not good. I don’t think they can survive for three hours. The castle walls have been breached. The Priestess’s Guards have already entered the city."

"Did the King’s brother fall?" Eren didn’t have much hope from his clone. But he expected the Holy King’s brother to at least delay the enemies for a little longer.

"Then again, they are facing two main characters. It might be too much to expect more from the supporting characters."

Eren increased his pace, even though there was no point to it. He couldn’t do anything until three hours were up anyway.

"The King’s Brother has not been killed yet. He has been captured by a strange man from the North."

If even the Spirit Queen called that man strange, Eren didn’t need to guess much about his identity. It was the main character from the Northern Continent.

The more he was killed by enemies, the stronger he could become with his instant revival. That’s why he had conveyed the message to his clone to ensure that no one in the Empire killed that man.

They only had to take him down without killing him. Unfortunately, it was easier said than done, as the message was only delivered after he came to the Upper Realm and managed to contact the Spirit Queen.

"What an absolute mess. Maybe I should’ve avoided entering hell so soon. I didn’t know the entire world would fall apart if I was absent for a few weeks."

Although the Northern Main Character was dangerous, Eren did manage to learn a few things about him.

If he could just be killed without any limitations, then wouldn’t he have his friends kill him and keep reviving until he became a god?

It made him believe that there was definitely a limitation. Either he could only be killed by an enemy stronger than him, to ignite the effects of his passive skill, or he had a certain quota of revivals a month.

If it was the first case, it would explain why he didn’t just farm his death with his friends. Still, Eren preferred if it was the latter. Unfortunately, he wasn’t in the lower world. And it was too dangerous to test this theory while he was trapped in the upper realm.

"Is this a graveyard?"

Eren was lost in thoughts while walking when he noticed the surroundings change. He could see tombstones forming long lines.

As far as his eyes could see, there were only tombstones. And each tombstone had a man’s and number written on it.

"No wonder there was no security here. Who would even want to steal something from a graveyard?"

He thought that there was going to be something useful in the last Territory, but it proved to be more useless than he had guessed.

"Though their corpses might still hold some value. If I can bring them back to life, maybe through necromancy like Lysander used..."

He thought for a brief moment, before quickly shaking the thought off.

" No. Just the Ice Maiden Palace needed so much sacrifice. Someone from the Immortal King Clan might even need an entire upper realm continent to be sacrificed."

Even if he was to revive them as undead, he couldn’t do that using Lysander’s method.

"I should still take one as a souvenir though. If the system does give me a skill in the future, I might regret not taking a perfect corpse from here."

He thought that this might be his last opportunity to be in the King Clan’s Realm, as he was just lucky to be able to enter this place with the Merchant Union.

Before leaving, he planned to collect at least a corpse of the King Clan ancestor.

"If I’m taking one, I might as well take the best." He walked through the graveyard as the timer kept ticking away.

He looked for the tombstone that stood out the most, amongst the hundreds of thousands of tombstones. And in the end, he ended up reading the end of the graveyard before finally seeing one that was double the size of the others.

"This should be the most precious one." Not only was this the last tombstone, but this also marked the end of this territory.

Beyond this tombstone, there was nothing. It was like a white void, that seemed to erase everything that came near it.

Even he felt a subtle rejection when looking at the white void that looked like it was the end of that world with no reality beyond it.
