Transcendent Dawn

“Without a doubt, this is a trap!”

Rose Castle.

Sir Shacker roared: “Your Majesty, you mustn’t go to the capital. Otherwise, you will just become Immon’s puppet!”

The Western Region, after a series of battles, had hardly any power left to support the queen.

The North Territory had been defeated even worse, undoubtedly among the losers, waiting for their final judgement.

Within the kingdom at this moment, the strongest was surprisingly the Grand Duke of the Black Castle who had completely pacified the South and East, with his command of vast armies and fleets!

“But… if a queen does not rule within her capital, how can she deserve her crown?”

Queen Messiah seemed to be moved by the idea.

After all, to many people, the Duke of the Black Castle’s actions were seen as ‘loyalty’ – from the queen’s perspective, he defeated the Northern army occupying the capital and invited her back to his palace. For this, it was entirely worth the price of a prime minister.

“No… that old lecher Immon might try to force you into marrying him, or make his son do so! Thereby directly usurping the most prestigious crown on the continent…”

Shacker fiercely rejected the idea. It wasn’t in the best interest of the Western Region!

“But I must marry someone one day…” As a maturing queen, Messiah could now consider her marriage prospects for their potential benefits.

She looked to one side: “Teacher… what are your thoughts?”

“You should go, otherwise your reputation as a queen on this continent will be ruined…” Su Lu shrugged: “But this is indeed a trap!”

“Then how should I respond?” Messiah asked with a pitiful look.

“It’s simple… I’ll go with you!”

Su Lu chuckled: “With me there, no one can harm you, and you can successfully grow to a point where you have enough power…”

“Thank you, Teacher!”

Messiah laughed beautifully, her eyes shining like bright stars.

‘Indeed, this time it is a trap, not for Messiah, but for me!’

After the meeting, Su Lu surveyed the scenery from a high vantage point, feeling a sense of openness in his heart.

Combining it with the previous madness curse, he roughly predicted Immon’s scheme.

Without a doubt, the capital was now a gigantic trap!

Immon wanted to kill him!

This was normal. As the Witch King, he surely knew his strength, definitely being of the fourth order, capable of stirring up the continent!

One person like this was enough!

“And… Immon is going to make a move on me, he’s probably been closely prepared. If it wasn’t for me being alone in this world, he might even be capable of capturing my family to threaten me.”

“Also, he has collapsed many paths for me.”

“The first being the madness curse?”

For a regular fourth-order, facing a curse of that level, even if they were strong-willed, they might slowly accumulate a bit of madness.

Just a slight provocation might send them into a frenzy.

For example, this time, they would escort Messiah into the capital, preparing for a fight with Immon.

But in reality, they were merely walking into Immon’s trap.

‘But… this is exactly what I want!’

Su Lu took a deep breath.

Immon, who wanted to kill him, would have definitely arranged a lot of Occupational Persons. As well as an order-four person!

On this continent, this was a rare source of Experience Points.

Su Lu didn’t think he would find an opportunity like with Lady Moon at the Death God Ruins again.

“Also… this time, it’s a deciding battle! As long as Immon is taken out, Queen Messiah unifying the continent will face fewer hurdles…”

At the same moment.

Dragon City, inside the Palace.

“Language of Arrogance? Arrogant…”

‘Witch King’ Immon sat behind his desk. In front of him, two scrolls lay, both of them Arrogant Runes!

His finger stroked the mysterious symbols: “Su Lu Pottery, you are truly worthy of being the Crazy Tutor… This language reminded me of the Divine!”

Facing Immon were two somewhat timid Arrogant Wizards.

One appeared astute and was clothed in exquisite attire. Surprisingly, it was Ruff, a member of the long gone Ham Trio!

The other was tall, Yoen, who appeared a bit helpless: “We have passed on the items to you, we hope you can keep your promise!”

“Don’t worry, we wizards uphold contracts faithfully!”

Immon snapped his fingers: “Your family will be safe and be rewarded with a hereditary territory… In return, at the right time, I need you two to do something for me.”

“Betray… the Tutor?”

Yoen appeared a bit heavy-hearted, while Ruff seemed indifferent.

After all, he had only learned under Su Lu for a period of time and hadn’t cultivated any loyalty or affection.

“I am willing to serve you, Your Grace!”

Ruff quickly bowed, his eyes filled with desire: “Your will is my mission. However, our current status is far from being a match for the Crazy Tutor. So, we target others of the Arrogant School, such as… Ham?”

Even by now, he had not yet managed to climb to the position of hereditary Lord.

Thinking of Ham, who already became the heir of the Lord, jealousy surged in his eyes.

“Very good, you are a smart man!”

Immon clapped his hands: “Clear goals, knows what he wants… That’s right, I need you two to return to the Arrogant School’s territory in the capital first. The territory is barely maintained by Ham’s orders. You will become my spies, regularly reporting everything, and obeying my commands at crucial times.”

When the two departed, a playful smile appeared on Immon’s face: “Crazy Tutor, Su Lu Pottery… What kind of person are you really? But… I wonder what your expression will be when you discover your disciples have betrayed you?”

As he mused, a few hooded figures stepped out from the shadows. Similar to the previous nameless characters, with ordinary faces and expressionless, they reported:

“After thorough investigations, we can confirm he hadn’t appeared on the continent prior to his appearance in the North Territory!”

“He seems like a man who appeared out of thin air. He has no relatives, no friends… The only people he is a little close with are a few students and Queen Messiah.”

“In terms of combat abilities, we suspect he uses techniques from Assassin occupations…”

“This is a bit tricky, but not impossible.”

Immon pushed the scroll forward: “Regarding Crazy Tutor’s capabilities and model, experiments must commence immediately… Also, that flickering ability, already confirmed to be a dimensional wave, prepare the related materials as soon as possible.”

When a fourth-order wizard coupled with the power of a noble, essentially, when Su Lu showcased his abilities, as long as there were spectators, the information was obtained.

With the massive amount of information collected, naturally, there would be specific arrangements made, which was the terror of the great forces!
