The entire underground prison began to tremble violently.

  The Lunari nobles who had been displaying a haughty attitude and planning how to torture the young human in front of them were now backing away in fear at the appearance of the dragon goddess.

  They did not know who the beautiful woman who had suddenly appeared was, nor could they perceive her cultivation level, but they were certain that she was a higher existence, and that the only result of trying to confront her was death.

  Kaidara did not pay too much attention to the Lunari nobles. Although they were part of the people who worshipped his sister, she felt no guilt in eliminating them. After all, they had dared to lay their hands on Luke, even her sister Selena would have punished them for such a transgression.

  The staff, which had an aura of divinity, absorbed a bit of divine energy of Ether that Kaidara used. At the moment, the goddess's avatar didn't have much divine power, just activating the power of the staff was already difficult.

  She had to use all her remaining power to manifest and help Luke, so her avatar would suffer the consequences later.

  Luckily for her, deep in the ground there was a large source of divine energy buried, using it she could finish off these Lunari nobles without problems, even if her body was in such a weakened state.

  The large cluster of divine energy passed through multiple layers of ground and finally appeared on the battlefield, in front of the horrified gaze of the nobles, who seemed to wake up with the tremendous roar caused by the irruption of the giant object.

  The nobles ran towards the door trying to escape.

  Seeing them run so disorderly, tripping over their own legs and falling to the ground, Luke felt a little ashamed of having been defeated by such people.

  "If the difference in spiritual power had not been so great, i could have easily defeated them", he consoled himself inwardly.

  Kaidara made a gesture and the large cluster of divine energy began to erode. The energy began to be absorbed into the staff.

  Then, with a simple movement of the divine weapon, a wall of light appeared in front of the large metal door, obstructing the escape route of the nobles who were now trapped like rats.

  “It is difficult to use the energy of this attribute, it's best not to prolong this for too long,” the goddess said with effort. Her small face showed signs of tiredness.

  Kaidara was the goddess of ether and as such, it was very difficult for her to control divine energy of a different attribute.

  Luke observed the mass of energy that was so dense that it had solidified into a sphere-like structure, and he could discern that it was composed of divine energy of the light attribute! After all, this was the only divine attribute he could perceive.

  Seeing the large hole that led to the depths of the earth, he surmised that this was the source of energy that little Flynn was absorbing before he rescued him.

  But… What was this large cluster of energy? Another avatar like the one of the dragon goddess?

  Kaidara slammed the staff against the ground again, and a wave of divine energy surged like a tsunami towards the Lunari nobles.

  The unfortunate Lunari didn't even have time to scream. The wave of energy submerged them and disintegrated their bodies almost instantly.

  However, the goddess' control over energy wasn't very good, and the great wave not only destroyed the Lunari nobles, but continued on its way and continued to destroy everything in its path.

  Luke watched in amazement as the large amount of energy advanced destroying the prison, and thought of Zara's words, a great incident ended up happening in the underground prison after all, just as it was written in the causal nodes. That left him with a bittersweet feeling.

  Kaidara saw that her attack had gotten out of control and was generating great destruction around her but she couldn't do anything to stop it, she had already used all the power she had available. Sleep was now invading her, and her eyelids were heavy, she would not last much longer conscious.

  “Warrior, this is all the help I can give you. Please try not to put yourself in dangerous situations. My little avatar will enter a coma to recover so don't count on me to help you next time.”

  The sexy body of the goddess began to shrink at high speed, until she adopted the familiar shape similar to that of a porcelain doll. She was still conscious, but there were no traces of the immense power she had previously demonstrated, the only thing that remained in front of him now was a little girl without a trace of any aura.

  “Be careful with the deserting gods, I could feel their presence recently when…”

  The little girl left a final warning, but before she could finish her sentence, her body dissolved into energy particles that entered his body.

  Luke observed the great destruction that had been left in the path of the goddess' attack and estimated that the underground prison should have been completely destroyed.

  “I hope the rest of the prisoners I freed from the Spider Queen’s clutches are doing well,” he said in a murmur.

  He looked at the young novice who was still unconscious on the ground and sighed. The important thing now was to leave this place before it was discovered by someone, he didn’t need any more trouble than he already had.

  He used some power cores from the beasts he had killed earlier on his trip to the Spider Queen’s territory and recovered a bit of his spiritual power, enough to at least activate his camouflage and movement techniques.

  However, when he wanted to activate his camouflage technique, he was shocked to see that he couldn’t do so!

  A possible reason crossed his mind and he looked up to observe his surroundings.

  Sure enough, just as he imagined, the dark magic spell that the mysterious hooded figure had used was still in effect!

  “It’s amazing that his magic wasn’t destroyed even by the dragon goddess’ divine power attack,” Luke said, looking at the large amount of dark mana that was still floating around him. What kind of magic could withstand the attack of a god without any damage?

  Obviously, that individual’s magic was not simple.

  Luke didn’t worry about the dark spell anymore. Now the important thing was to get out of the place as soon as possible. There would be an opportunity later to investigate the matter of the mysterious hooded figure. Something told him that this would not be the last time he would meet him.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  Now that the Lunari nobles were not present to prevent his escape, there was no need to waste time dissolving the dark magic spell. He simply had to get out of the spell’s area of ??effect and activate the camouflage technique then.

  However, before he left, he had to do something about the object in front of him. It was the large mass of solidified divine energy, now that Kaidara had eroded a large part of it, an object that was encapsulated within the semi-sphere had been revealed.

  Stuck within the solidified light was a large sword that emitted the energy of the divine attribute of light. It was a broadsword that was so large that it had to be used with two hands. The hilt protruded from the semi-sphere, but much of the rest of the blade was stuck within the rigid material and it didn't seem like it would be possible to extract it by exerting force on it.

  “Excalibur?” Luke thought, remembering that story he had heard in his first life.

  He approached the semi-sphere and tried to pry the sword out, but it didn't even flinch. He then placed his hand on the material, thinking that perhaps he would get some response from the system. But Syzy remained silent.

  Luke noticed that the large cluster of energy was slowly eroding and small particles of light were being absorbed into his body. If this process continued, at some point the semi-sphere would dissolve, releasing the sword inside.

  But how long would it take for that to happen? At the current rate it was eroding, it would take at least a hundred years!

  Luke didn't have that much time, a couple of minutes was a luxury he couldn't afford right now.

  He used Xylara's Eye on the sword but only got question marks.

  Damn skill! He would need to level it up as soon as possible, otherwise he would die of frustration!

  “Syzy, what is this sword? Is there a way to free it from that cluster of energy?”

  *No data available*

  Luke pulled his hair in frustration.

  “I can't waste any more time, I'll have to research this sword later. I don't think anyone can get it out of the solidified cluster of energy anyway.”

  Luke activated his movement technique and escaped from the crime scene.

  An instant later, a large amount of dark mana appeared on the ground, spinning in a circular motion. From this whirlpool of mana, a hooded figure emerged.

  The figure approached the light attribute sword that was embedded in the semi-sphere, placed his hands on it, and began to emit a large amount of dark energy that gradually covered the sword.

  “What a surprise, I didn’t expect to find something so valuable in this place,” he said in his raspy voice, continuing to pour the dark energy into the sword.

  Suddenly, he raised his head, looking at the sky.

  “It’s a pity I don’t have more time. For now, I’ll leave a small spell on this divine sword, then I’ll come back to look for it. There’s no one in this city who can get it out of this crystal anyway. If it weren’t for the fact that I don’t want to expose my location and be chased by those monsters from the center of the continent, I wouldn’t mind fighting a round or two with the famous Lunari Queen”

  The mysterious figure said in a raspy voice, as if justifying his retreat.

  Then, without further ado, he disappeared into a whirlpool of dark mana, just as he had arrived.

  On the ground above the prison, the Lunari Queen Zara along with Godrick Stone and a few other elite royal guards appeared at high speed.

  Zara was worried about her lover Luke, who had come to the prison just before it was destroyed by an attack so massive that it shook half of Lunaria and alerted all forces in the city.

  It was for that reason that she could now appear here in the underground prison along with her soldiers without risking such an action generating a conflict with the group of conspiring nobles. She now had a legitimate reason to come and investigate. As the sovereign of the city-state, she could not stand idly by when they were under a possible enemy attack and the underground prison that had been standing since ancient times had been completely shattered.

  Zara arrived at the scene where the battle had taken place, but only found the body of a decapitated noble. It was the corpse of Marco, the noble who had been eliminated by Luke. The rest of the Lunari nobles had been pulverized by Kaidara's attack, and not even the dust was left. As for Luke, he had already retreated from the prison and was on his way to the palace.

  Not seeing Luke at the scene, Zara couldn't help but worry.

  “He hasn't had an accident, has he?” She thought, trying not to panic

  “Godrick! Search the entire prison right now. I want you to find each and every person present in this place! If anyone needs help, see to their well-being. I also want you to set up a perimeter and not let anyone suspicious leave the area. Until we get to the bottom of this matter, no one is allowed to resist being questioned!”

  “Yes, your majesty!” Godrick gave an affirmative answer and prepared to begin carrying out his queen's orders, but before he could leave, Zara added quietly

  “And keep an eye on Luke Lyriksen's whereabouts, his safety has to be your top priority. Have I made myself clear?”

  Godrick answered affirmatively again and retreated at full speed with the rest of his troops, leaving only the Lunari queen in the place.

  Zara looked at the semi-sphere where the divine sword of light was embedded and walked slowly towards it. She stopped a few meters away, her beautiful blue eyes were shining with a gray light that highlighted her beauty even more.

  “Divine power?” She said uncertainly, and added

  “But there is another energy contaminating it… It seems to be the same type of energy that surrounds Luke’s body and makes the causal nodes act strange…”

  She deactivated the power of her eyes, whose activation required great effort for her, and walked until she was right in front of the sword.

  “For now, it would be best if I took this sword to a safe place. Although I don’t know exactly what its origin is, the fact that it has appeared now that Luke is in Lunaria, must mean that it probably has a connection with him.”

  She extended her delicate white hand, placing it on the semi-sphere. Then, with a small effort of her muscles, she lifted the gigantic and heavy mass of energy and left at high speed in the direction of the palace, carrying it with her.

  Godrick and the elite group of the royal guard began their reconnaissance mission inside the prison. They quickly found the few survivors and gave them first aid. They also began to identify all the corpses they found and formulate a report that they would later present to the Lunarian queen.

  The nobles of Lunaria, on the other hand, with the help of the urban guard and the authorities of the underground prison, began their own investigation. They wanted to know the whereabouts of the nobles who had gone to the prison, as well as the condition of the prisoners who had been rescued from the spider queen's cave.

  All the spheres of Lunaria were affected by the destruction of the underground prison, to a lesser or greater extent. This incident had started another series of future incidents that would occur in the not too distant future.

  Meanwhile, the main culprit behind the destruction of the prison was moving at high speed towards the royal palace, using his camouflage technique that allowed him to go unnoticed.

  As he was about to reach the palace and put an end to such a dangerous adventure, the familiar sound of bells rang in his mind

  Looking at the huge amount of quests that had appeared on the system screen, Luke looked a little overwhelmed. It was true that he had been wishing for more quests to increase the system level more quickly, but it wasn't like he was going to go from one extreme to the other!

  He just hoped that they were quests without a time limit, otherwise there would be no chance he could complete them all.

  He slowed down the speed with which he traveled to the palace a little and focused on the first of the quests on the list, which had one of the most eye-catching titles.

  When he saw its content, he couldn't help but curse out loud! Its name matched its content!
