Chapter 96 - The Dark Lord (Female Lead Reveal)
In faraway land from Bredia, a group of four people was kneeling in front of a monument. Other than the tall silver monument, there was nothing in the room. The only light came through the hole directly above the monument and encircled the monument.
Shhhhhhh!
All of a sudden, the monument vibrated and glowed as the entire room started to brighten up. Among the four people, two of them were male and the remaining two were women, and one of the women had a long pointy ear and glowing gold hair. They were all god-like existence in the world because they were at the Fusion stage, only one stage behind reaching the Half Immortal stage. However, despite their cultivation level, they were devotedly kneeling in front of the monument with their heads down.
Soon a white smoke emerged from the monument and began to take the shape of a man, a white-haired old man. The four of them slowly looked up with eyes full of devotion and respect.
"Elder Guardian," the four of them said in harmony as the old man let out a weak smile. Behind his weak smile, there was a concern, despair, and a hint of dread in his eyes.
"Stand up Guardians, you should only kneel before the Supreme one" His voice was soft but at the same time, it sounded like an order.
The four of them didn't disobey his order as they stood up to learn why they were summoned because no one was summoned to this room in a thousand years.
"Guardians, I know what you're wondering" the old man looked at the four of them quietly for a few seconds and continued," before I tell you why I summoned you all here, tell me what you know about the Dark age" Each of the four had a different expression on their faces when they heard the Elder Guardian.
"And what do you know about the Dark Lord?"
The moment they heard the name Dark Lord the expressions on the guardians' faces changed dramatically. No one spoke a word for a few moments as they all blankly stared at the Elder Guardian like they didn't understand the meaning of his question.
Soon, the woman with the pointy ears answered with the deep frown on her face,
"Elder Guardian, we all read the grimoire about the Dark Age and the Dark Lord but..." the pointy ears woman's voice trailed without finishing her inner thoughts. The four of them clearly didn't believe the stories about the Dark Lord but they were afraid of telling the Elder Guardian yet, the Elder Guardian could see it on their faces.
"What you read about the Dark Age is real, very real"? His voice was grave and the four of them couldn't help but recollect everything they read about the Dark Lord in the grimoire. For a few moments, no one uttered any words but one of the men behind the pointy ears woman slightly shivered in fear.
"Then the Dark Lord..." After a long silence, the woman next to the pointy ears woman asked the Elder Guardian as he took a long deep breath before answering them.
The Guardian guild library was one of the most secure places in the entire world. The library was separated into four levels but only a few knew that there's another level, a fifth level. Apart from the four guardians in this room, there were only five powerful people who had access to the fifth level in the library. Unlike the other levels, the fifth level had no spell scrolls or skill books but it had just one book, the Grimoire. No one in the current generation of the Guardians knew who wrote the book but it was mandatory to read the book after a Guardian reaches the Alpha level.
"The Grimoire you read is not just a book, it's the last words of the Supreme Guardian himself" The words that came out of the Elder Guardian stunned the rest of them because they didn't expect the Gromiure was written by their leader, the Supreme Guardian. And what shocked them most was the last part of what he said.
"Elder Guardian..."
"Yes, the Supreme Guardian is not with us, not for three last millennials. And I'm the last living Elder Guardian" The day got even worse as they received another blow to their heart by the Elder Guardian. They didn't even know how to react to this grave news.
"Without the Supreme Guardian, how are we going to face the Dark Lord, Elder Guardian? Please guide us" The pointy ears woman imminently dropped to her knees and pleaded and soon, they all dropped to their knees because they didn't underestimate the upcoming threat, a threat that was not only to the Guardians but to the entire world.
"You cannot face the Dark Lord alone, there's only one person who could defeat the Dark Lord"
"Who is he Elder Guardian?! My hunters will scour this world to find him" The Alpha Guardian of the Hunter Guardians, the pointy ears woman said with the newfound hope in her voice.
"The ring left behind by the Supreme Guardian has already found its new master. I can sense he's still young and he's in the Elon continent. Find him, find your new Supreme Guardian before the Dark Lord. The fate of the world is now resting on that youngster's shoulder" This was the Elder Guardian's last words before he vanished from their sight and with this began the search for the new Supreme Guardian.
At this moment, they had only heard very little about the Dark Lord and the Dark age because the Supreme Guardian didn't write everything he had seen in the future. What he wrote and mentioned about the Dark Lord was just the tip of the huge iceberg. Three thousand years ago, he knew if he had written everything he knew, the future generations would have lost all their hope and courage to fight the Dark Lord and his army. He and his Elder Guardians sacrificed themselves to the gods to cage the Dark Lord in a universe where there were billions of planets with no energy to cultivate.
He hoped the Dark Lord would be born and die on a planet with no energy but even the gods that helped him couldn't stop the Dark Lord from coming to his world.
