The Black Sea is the largest body of water in the world.

It spans all six continents: the Human, Elf, Dragon, Demon, Dwarven, and Beast Empires.

It is what separates the six continents, making them difficult to reach. The simplest way to reach the other continents is through the Ancient Battlefield of Parting, which is situated at the center of the six continents.

So one can see how vast the Black Sea is.

However, the idea that it is the largest and perhaps the seventh continent cannot be ignored.

This claim has been validated many times when many saw the terror of the Black Sea. They said it contained some of the greatest horrors of this world.

So in some ways, one can say the strongest, most dangerous, and biggest continent in the world of Sonox is the Black Sea.

So knowing this, Nobody would expect or suspect the idea of building a headquarters in the middle of such a sea.

However, General Kaelreth, the same general who was scared off after Kent killed the attackers from the four kingdoms and gave his message, was traveling in a flying boat toward this headquarters.

Zagan was not with him, probably dead, so he was alone, and from the look of panic on his face, it was safe to say he was afraid.

After traveling for three days using preplanned routes only high-ranking members of the hand knew, he arrived on a small man-made island.

From afar, one could say this island is not simple.

It has many high-level formations and a terrifying presence guarding it. In fact, at the entrance of the island, the guards who stopped General Kaelreth are Core Formation, each exuding a powerful aura.

“What is your business here, General?” one of the guards asked politely yet arrogantly. Being a guard at such a place could only be seen as pure privilege.

“I have a message for the Hand,” General Kaelreth said with a hurried expression. The moment the two heard him, they hurriedly opened the gate for him to enter.

“Sorry if we kept you waiting.” The two guards bowed, creating a path for General Kaelreth to pass. The moment he left, they took a big sigh and quickly closed the gate.

General Kaelreth approached a large, majestic building standing atop a small mountain. When he got to the mountain’s base, he knelt down, his forehead almost on the ground.

“This is General Kaelreth, stationed in the Athea Kingdom. I have a message for the Hand.”

He wasn’t even done speaking when seven powerful beings appeared in the area, bringing their Peak Core Formation presence with them.

They each had a different mask design on their face.

A cat, a hound, a monkey, a lion, a tiger, a bat, and a Rabbit. They look weird, but their presence cannot be ignored.

Despite being at the fourth stage of the Core Formation stage, General Kaelreth felt his body being taken over by the seven.

“Speak, General,” one of the seven wearing a bat mask said, commanding the general to speak. However, he willed himself and chose not to utter a single word regarding what he was there to say.

Instead, he made them aware of why he was there.

“I can *cough*… I can only say the words to the Hand,” he said, coughing blood.

“You choose death, then,” one of the seven wearing a cat mask said, extending his hand to kill him; however, before he could unleash an attack, a terrifying yet calm energy washed over them, dispelling the energy gathered in his palm.

“Let him in.” A feminine voice filled the area, making the seven immediately create a pathway for the general to pass. All wounds on his body were healed, and they even bowed their heads.

General Kaelreth, who didn’t want to be in the presence of these seven, whom he had only heard of, ran up the mountain, not looking back.

He seems more scared of the seven masked figures than the energy that just saved him.

The seven turned and looked at each other before vanishing wherever they came from.

General Kaelreth arrived at the building’s entrance and stopped. However, just as he stopped, the door opened, allowing him in.

Walking through the door, he stepped into a lush white and green garden, where soft grass blanketed the ground like a velvet carpet and delicate flowers of every hue peeked out between silver-leaved bushes.

The air was fragrant with the scent of blooming jasmine and moonflowers, carried by a gentle breeze that made the leaves whisper like a lullaby.

Hundreds of butterflies, each more vibrant than the last, danced gracefully through the air — some with wings like stained glass, others shimmering like spun gold under the soft glow of floating lanterns suspended from the branches.

He was immediately mesmerized by the beauty of the flowers that his worries, pain, and reason for being there were forgotten.

However, a few steps in, his gaze landed on a white-haired lady watering some flowers. Her hair was falling down her back, travelling down her butt…

He only saw her back, but it was enough to let him know he was in the presence of someone he could not measure up to.

“I greet the Hand,” General Kaelreth said, bowing down.

“Speak,” the voice was soft like silk and smooth like butter. General Kaelreth felt his voice return and his breath stabilize.

“I have a report from Vastport City.” The general didn’t know how to convey Kent’s message to the lady without sounding rude.

Of course, he was prepared to die, but he would rather live past today.

So he started thinking of how best to handle this. If he sounded rude, his death would be imminent. So he started planning what to say.

“Say exactly what he said and don’t leave out any word. It is possible to speak from his perspective,” the lady, however, made things easy for him.

General Kaelreth took the chance without any delay.

“Tell your leader that I, Kent Madson, said he or she should hurry up and gather all the Keys of the Apocalypse and open the Gate of the Apocalypse.

I don’t have much patience, you see. And while I would love to hunt the keys down and do it myself, having pawns like you do the work will be much easier.

So tell him or her to hurry up and get it done. If you ignore one word of what I said, Zagan’s soul will be incinerated.

That will be all. Now run along.”

General Kaelreth repeated everything Kent said, leaving out no punctuation mark.

“You can leave.” General Kaelreth was outside the building before he knew it. Knowing he was still alive, he left the island quickly, not looking back.

Back inside the garden, the white-haired lady stopped watering the flowers.

Instead, she was seated behind a small table, staring at the image of the brat who had just delivered his message to her with a smile on her face.

She is a beauty with perfect bone structure, pale blue eyes, and red cherry lips to die for. Naturally, her chest area just like her butt are as graceful as they can be.

“Message received, Kent Madson. Now, I wonder if you can handle what I have in store for you.” Her smile vanished, replaced by a frown, as the seven masked individuals appeared.

“What are your orders, my Lady?” the monkey-faced masked figure asked.
