Chapter 207: THE CLOSING OF THE TOMB OF ORDER
THE CLOSING OF THE TOMB OF ORDER
"Arrggghhhhh"
Suddenly, Temeros, Iketes and Aesoness were struck by powerful blade slashes that were conjured from mighty knights that surrounded them.
"Where did these knights come from?" Lord Lady Aesoness asked as her body was covered in blood.
"They are with me. My bodyguards. Do you think that I can escape from the Lord Phantom and lose to scum like you three", I told the three knights as I appeared behind the golden armored knights.
"Impossible, how did you escape from our divine artifacts?" Lord Temeros asked me.
"What you struck was only an incarnate of me. I wasn't there from the beginning. When your spinning chops were about to strike my incarnate, he escaped into the shadows in the ground", I explained to them.
Suddenly, more clones that looked identical to me appeared behind the golden knights.
"Malevolent Slaves"
Sharp magical lance was conjured from them. The lances rushed forth to strike the three knights in succession, piercing their bodies and disintegrating them.
"How many of these Malevolent Slaves do you have?" Ratatouille asked me.
"Every time the Sword of Malevolence is summoned, many desperate souls will surrender to me to become my new slaves. These souls would rather be enslaved by me than be taken by the Dark Angel", I replied to him.
"How many of them do you have now?" he asked me again.
"Not counting the first seven who were augmented with the Knight of Order's armor and weapons, there are two dozen more of them", I told him.
"Three dozens? That is many," Ratatouille asked me and commented.
"Yes, although their magic is weak because they all share in my magic. I can only have so much magic, so their strength in numbers doesn't give me too big of an advantage", I replied to him.
"They will become invincible once you obtain the Heart of the Dark Angel. Your magic becomes endless with the heart which you can share with as many Malevolent Slaves that you can summon", he told me.
"There is such a thing?" I asked.
"Yes, it is one of the essential parts of the Dark Angel that you must recover for his resurrection", he told me.
"Oh", I replied to him.
Initially, I was excited by the mention of the Dark Angel's heart which could give me unlimited magic. But then I remembered that it would advance the schedule of the Dark Angel's recovery, so that news wasn't really good for me.
"Do you want these chains, bell and spinning blades?" Ratatouille asked me as he eyed those divine artifacts greedily.
"No, I'm not giving them to you. They may become ingredients for a divine templar magic", I replied to him.
"Do you think divine magic can be crafted so easily. They come from the gods", Ratatouille told me.
"I thought of a way although I don't know if it works", I replied to him.
"What kind of divine skill can you acquire using these three unrelated artifacts, fruit squashers?" he asked me.
"I do have something in my mind", I replied to him.

"What do you mean that the realm of the Tomb of Order has collapsed?" Dean Masker asked me when I returned to the surface of the academy to report to him.
"Yes, it was. I am the last person who came out from it", I told him.
"What happened to the other three Lord knights of the Order?" Eugenia asked me.
"They sacrificed themselves to protect our world from the Dark Realm", I replied to her.
"What actually happened down there? Will the Dark Realm invade our world without the buffer zone created by the Tomb of Order?" Dean Masker asked me worriedly.
"You don't have to worry about that. The Realm of the Dark will be sealed permanently this time without the need of a buffer zone", I replied to him.
"Yes, he is right. The corridor to the Dark Realm has disappeared. Mysteriously", Lord Knight Hieron of the Grand Cross said as he walked into the room to join our conversation.
After the Tomb of Order disappeared, Lord Hieron went to inspect immediately.
"How can that happen?" Dean Masker asked.
"You should ask him", Lord Hieron replied as he pointed toward me before he asked, "What happened there Oriese?"
It was impossible to make an excuse to explain what happened in the Tomb of Order. I must tell them the truth.
"Lord Arothar has arisen again. He called forth the fallen knights from the ancient battlefield to rise in revolt against the Eye of the Dark Realm. The three knights, Temeros, Iketes and Aesoness helped him, and they fell in the process", I explained to them.
"And what were you doing there?" Dean Masker asked me.
"I left the realm as soon as I could summon a portal of course. I was out before the tomb of Order collapsed. The battle wasn't one that I can contribute much", I replied to him.
"Yes, that is prudent of you. The battle between the ancient and the Dark Realm is not something we can get involved in", Dean Masker told me as Lord Hieron watched me suspiciously.
"It shouldn't be as simple as that like you explain it. If it was so easy to destroy the corridor to the Dark Realm, it would be long gone", Lord Hieron said to us.
"But that is the truth although we don't know why it is so. Just consider us blessed by Lord Arothar", Dean Masker replied to the old lord.
"I saw the Lord knights bringing their powerful artifacts, a chain, a bell and a spinning blade to fight against the Dark realm. They might have contributed to the fight", I said to them.
"The Seeker Chain of Truth, Bell of Reformation and the Spinning Choppers. Aren't they the treasures of the three noble families. They did great favor to our Templar Court for once", Eugenia said.
"It is surprising that the three families will part with their divine artifacts to seal the Realm of Darkness", Lord Hieron told us.
"But they did", I added.
