Chapter 153 The Seven Continents



The third room of the Garcia family treasury contained rare materials used for alchemy and enchantment. This was all put in Zick's space ring with no hesitation.

Lastly, the fourth room, which was also the last one. Zick looked around himself in silence.

The floors and walls of the room were reinforced with goldish-white marble. There were dazzling yellow wall lamps made of glass, which looked like a lotus bud. Attached to the walls were many shelves which looked well-kept at first glance. A round shelf stood in the middle of the room too.

There were numerous things on the shelves, potions, very rare materials, weapons with exquisite works on them and there were some things that Zick could not recognize too.

"That is....a dragon eye?" Zick looked at the things kept within one of the middle shelves.

The dragon eye was more than 20 centimeters in size and gave off an aura filled with nature's characteristics, which only belonged to the dragon race. The pupil of this dragon eye was deep brown.

"That seems to be the case....." The cat answered with shock filling its body, it was apparent that it hadn't entered the treasury even once.

To enter the Garcia family's treasury, the cat would have to destroy the magic circles, which meant it was trying to harm the Garcia family indirectly. For this, it didn't even bother going near it even once.

On the other hand, Levienel also had a little change in her blank expression, she looked at the dragon eye with confusion deep within her eyes.

Zick didn't miss Levienel's change in mood, He asked with a smile: "Miss Levienel, Do you know about this eye's origin?"

There was no reason to put any honorifics in her name, but Zick had been using it for a while.

'My emotions are flaring up frequently, it wouldn't be weird if I let my lips slip for a second unknowingly. So keeping prudence between other people is the best way to stop any unforeseen situation from happening.' Zick thought at lightning speed with no change in expression.

Levienel nodded her head with a reminiscing expression: "I know this aura from the past. It belongs to an earth dragon named Olrean, it was known for its unique origin force which could create mountains in a blink of an eye..."

"Origin force?" Zick heard another foreign word.

"Yes, origin force. It's something that only belongs to the dragon and it is also what makes them special." Levienel had her eyes on the dragon's eye as she spoke.

"What kind of power is it?" Zick was even more curious, so he multitasked. He heard Levienel speak while collecting the things from the shelf beside him.

"I don't know much about it, the dragon race doesn't use it unless a worthy foe appears. In the first place, few people can actually fight a dragon on equal ground while it isn't using its origin force." Levienel retracted her eyes and looked at the potions and material kept here. Especially the flower which shone in a purplish glow caught her eyes.

"Is this also something special?" The whole time Zick only collected the things from the side shelf ignoring the ones in the middle, where there were rare things. He was taking this as a form of training to control his greed.

Zick could control his emotions just fine before but recently it has been going out of control very often. This made him decide to start training to suppress his emotions more.

To Zick's question, Levienel answered: "Yes, it's a very rare flower which can only be found in the swamp where Veltes purple snake lives. This flower is called the Purple swamp flower. They can be used for making elixir-level potions."

"I see, that sounds useful." Zick changed his impression of Levienel, she was also knowledgeable about many things.

Emptying all the shelves attached to the wall, the middle shelf was all that was left.

Walking in front of the middle shelves, Zick first picked things one by one and asked the cat and Levienel about them. There were many things like a gourd filled with the blood of an extinct monster or the core of a high-class undead.

After ten minutes.

In the end, Zick stood in front of dragon eyes which were floating within a shelf thanks to a magic circle. It was peak-rank preservation magic.

The world is really uncertain, just when Zick was considering if he should put some time into creating a new technique using the black ice, this dragon's eyes appeared. After eating his affinity with the earth would be bound to rise by an unknown amount. He would have to put some attention in that direction too then.

Putting it in his space ring, Zick and others looked around to see if there was anything else. But it seems like this room was the end and there was no hidden room. Nothing could escape these two's perceptions so he didn't doubt anything.

Climbing up the stairs, Zick decided: 'For now, I will concentrate on creating techniques using the black ice. This ice has more potential than earth element to me.' He made a sensible choice.

It was possible to increase the potency of the ice element using snow essence. But there was no way he could increase his earth affinity after using the dragon's eye.

Zick asked the cat a question: "Do you know the giant hero?"

"Yeah...I think I heard about him 30,000 years ago." The cat answered back.

"Then, do you know about the seven continents?"

At once both the cat and Levienel became motionless upon hearing this.

"You...Where did you hear about this? Never bring up this matter if you are ever to meet a dragon or else you will die for sure." The cat spoke with a serious expression for the first time.

"From some book. Tell me more about it." Zick asked patiently. The three of them started climbing the steps again.

The cat breathed out loudly and spoke solemnly: "I don't want to speak about this, so I will keep it short. 20,000 or so years ago, originally there used to be seven continents throughout the continent."

"But then another disaster befell this world. The wrath from an unknown world attacked this one, absorbing the souls of millions."

Hearing this, Zick could only stay speechless: "...."

"All the seven continents decided to join hands, not only them but even the neutral races. The dragons were especially important in this battle. The wrath had ethereal bodies so it was not possible to kill them using normal means. Only the dragon race's original forces and the higher form of energy of the grandmaster rank could harm them..."

Zick's eyes squinted: "Weren't you going to keep it short?" He wasn't interested in this story, all he wanted to know was how there are only three continents now.

"Ahem, four continents excluding the one present in this era plotted behind the scenes. For their survival, they created the fog of annihilation around these three continents, where the wrath was invading from."

"The fog could trap the dragons and every living being without exception. But it still could not stop the wrath, that is the reason they didn't use it from the beginning."

While the cat spoke, Zick and the two had already reached the surface. Levienel started creating a teleportation circle as the cat continued telling the story.

"They aimed to lure the mighty dragon to one place to fight the wrath species. Wrath is creatures with no intelligence, they attacked the thing which they felt the most danger from."

"You can tell what happened next, right? Hmph! Those prideful and haughty dragons were on the verge of being exterminated from the world! They defeated the wrath somehow but they paid a very high price." There was a tinge of pity and sympathy in the cat's voice, but its joy was above this emotion. The cat didn't seem to like the dragon race much.

Zick's eyes shone in understanding, he thought of the interaction Aeiron had with a dragon when he went to ask for help to fight against the demon lord.

The dragon rejected it with no hesitation.

[ "The demon race is trying to kill the human race so what does it have to do with me? They haven't offended us in any way, we have no reason to move. Hmph, you all deserve this, just die and vanish just like how our ancestors did. Just scram."] That's how the conversation went with the dragons in the novel.

Zick spoke to the cat: "That explains a lot, thank you for telling me about it."

"Hmph, it's no big deal human." The cat looked forward, with a flickering tail.

Shortly, Levienel finished setting up the teleportation circle. It was huge, covering around eight meters of area.

Zick took out the map of the middle continent: "Miss Levienel, could you make this city and its people vanish?" His expression was blank with cold light flickering in his red eyes.

Levienel took the map offered by Zick and looked at the place he pointed. Not saying anything, she flew away at a rapid speed.

"Human....Do you like murdering humans that much?" The cat asked, looking at Zick's blank face.

"It's necessary, do you think I am doing it because I want to do it? Of course not! I am doing it because it has to be done." A pained voice left Zick's mouth. It was filled with righteousness that made the cat shut its mouth.

"If it hurts that much then you can just give up..." The cat tried consoling Zick.

"That is not possible, I won't run from my responsibility. If I do, that wouldn't be me anymore." Zick's voice was filled with emotions that made The cat silent again.

The cat opened its mouth in the end: "Alright, I will support you. As long as I don't have to kill humans, I am ready to do everything."

Zick nodded his head and told the cat to activate the teleportation circle, after casting an illusion spell around the magic circle — which was the specialty of dark magic.

Zick looked at the cat which worked so obediently: 'So easy, It didn't doubt me at all. I am going to appear as 'justice' from now on, so it's important to maintain a good image. I can just kill anyone who gets in my way in the dark.'

Soon the teleportation circle activated and both of them vanished.
