Kor similarly felt the improvent of his magic ability. Now, he would enter the Nightmare realm almost every other night. The mories of Kennifer III from his past life had been almost completely copied into Kor’s brain via a so-called “soul-branding technique,” and the various experiences of Kennifer III’s previous life gradually infused into Kor’s spirit. Kor had beco a hybrid in an imperceptible way, which he himself had felt, but he did not reject it. Kor had co to believe everything that Kennifer III had said in those nightmares. However, he did not plan to act as the heir of Kennifer III and raise the flag to restore the Dark Empire. If in the future, when conditions were ripe, taking up this mantle beca advantageous to him, that would be another matter. But at least for now, with the Dark Church already becoming synonymous with history and heresy in Mortal Society, Kor naturally would not commit such a foolish act against the whole world.

Upon his return to Caucasus, Kor imdiately entrusted the resourceful Caffrey to borrow a large collection of history books from the Kingdom’s Library and private libraries regarding the Dark Empire and the Bright Holy Teaching from hundreds of years ago. As Kor had expected, there were very few records about the history of the Dark Empire, and the rise of the Bright Holy Teaching seed as pure as the angels in mythology. The term “Saintess” certainly existed, but it wasn’t associated with any emotions or evil, as all Saintesses of the Bright Holy Teaching spend their entire lives devotedly serving the God of Light within Marco, never stepping outside. Kor did find so clues from the history books in so private libraries, suggesting that the Dark Empire indeed existed on the Blue Continent and that the so-called Dark Church was once flourishing hundreds of years ago, even becoming the state religion of the Dark Empire. The territory under the Dark Empire’s control was quite vast, approximately in the northeastern direction of the current kingdom, now a barren region connected to a vast unknown land. Apart from Adventurers, no one wished to approach that area, including the beastn who kept their distance.

However, all the history books made no ntion of the demise of the Dark Empire and the Dark Church, as though such a vast empire and once prosperous sect vanished into thin air. This made Kor suspect that there were unspeakable secrets involved; however, now was not the ti to probe these secrets. What Kor needed now was to seize the ti to practice the countless treasures of magic dark arts that Kennifer III’s mory brought, especially the Dark Divine Technique, which Kor found most enchanting.

Standing on the hilltop, Kor and Ilot shielded their eyes with their hands as they gazed into the distance. This was an area of uneven low hills, possibly due to the dry climate, there were very few trees over five ters tall, but shrubs under three ters along with various weeds spread across the entire ground. Kor and Ilot had arrived in Bahomon three days ago. Kor had hoped to participate in this adventure to cull Ogres alone, but Ilot, having been tortured by dull training tasks to the brink of madness, insisted on joining Kor to Bahomon after learning of this news. Kor could not win against his persistence; moreover, Ilot’s swordsmanship had greatly improved after receiving pointers from Kor, imbued with the mories of Kennifer III. Kor too, hoped to have a companion by his side for support, so he agreed to his request.

Beyond the Lord’s Guard, Kor, after the arrival of the Immigrants, to balance their psychological feelings, recruited an additional five hundred mbers of the Caucasus Self-defense Forces from the Caucasus people, serving as a complent to the Lord’s Guard. A large number of immigrants from the Myron Duchy joined the newly ford Self-Defense Army, and Ilot officially beca the commander of the Self-Defense Army, with Baoling as his deputy to assist Ilot in training. After handing over his commanding position, Kor proceeded south with Ilot to Bahomon, which had beco a large construction site. The road construction from Bahomon to Ugru had been a primary project for Caucasus right from the start. As the main route for transporting Fine Iron Ore, this road signified the lifeline of the entire Caucasus, and at least in the short term, this transport route would be the most important artery. Kor and Ilot reached their destination after traveling along this nearly completed road for two days.

“Boss, it has been three days already, how co we’ve found no trace of the Ogres? I clearly rember encountering them in this area last ti. Could it be that the Ogres have moved?” Although it was early Spring, this was the southern end of Caucasus, where the climate was warr. The midday sun even had a hypnotic effect that made one drowsy. However, creatures like Ogres, being secondary high-level Magical Beasts, not only possessed great Attack power and nimble Moving abilities, but also sharp Perception senses and considerable intelligence. Once they sensed an outside intrusion into their territory, they would soon choose the right mont to strike, so on this land, Kor and Ilot dared not slack off even a bit. Kor was also consciously releasing minor Perception Magic to expand his Perception range to the maximum, in order to grasp any changes in the surrounding area.
