Chapter 407 - 357 : Despair (2/2)
The exit disappeared the moment he entered so he became stuck, unable to do nothing but cover his ears to not hear the hoarse and pitiful cries of the dying prisoners.
'Is this really my end? Should I just kill myself?'
Suicide is a much better option than being caught, however, no matter how many times he thought about killing himself, he just couldn't bring himself to do it. His body was on a breaking point yet his wavering 'willpower' refused to simply give up.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
After a month, he grew a beard and his hair became longer, his clothes were dusty, messy, bloodied, and dirty. This place made him like a mortal, he would always feel sleepy. The hunger and thirst were quenched at first but after a whole month, the situation changed.
Fortunately, he could use water Magic but the starvation aggravated his dire situation. In the end, left with no choice, Vyncent was forced into cannibalism.
With tears running down his thin and pale face, he devoured the human meat he just roasted. His hands were shaking and his eyes were wet as he kept repeating the same word
”I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry…”

”What do you think?”
Midolf smirked and asked the red-haired youth next to him. Radolf continuously nodded his head as he stared at what's in front of him.
”Master will be very pleased to see this.”
”Damn right he will! It's the first time I've seen this many. There's even a Lich King but he doesn't seem to be hostile… the fucker is probably afraid of you.”

The Water Empress, who started investigating the origins of the book, spent weeks trying to decipher some mysterious symbols that were engraved on the back of the book. They only appeared after she used some kind of unique glasses that showed her the unseen.
The symbols were actually a language, it was extremely hard to translate and despite her wide knowledge and infinite resources, she only uncovered the meaning of one symbol.
It was actually a name of a person, most likely the author of this book.
”Vyncent?”
The Empress repeatedly muttered that name to which her servant, the short girl scratched her head in confusion and said
”I've never heard of such a person, he wasn't even mentioned once in the ancient records about the era before the Hour of Creation.”
The blue-haired Empress flipped the book and thoroughly examined the strange three lines for the thousandth times but still wasn't able to understand their meaning.
”Just what is the meaning of this book?”
The short girl shrugged her shoulders and said
”Probably some encyclopedia, just give up on it. I think you should try looking at other things.”
The Empress heeded her servant's words and stored the book. She pondered for a moment before asking
”What of the Fire Region?”
Hearing switch to this topic, the servant became excited. She proudly patted her flat chest and said
”Ha! Drak couldn't even protest and was immediately executed by the Star Empress. After all, no one forced him to break the High Rules.”
The Empress snorted while saying
”Hmpf! Serves him right! Invading my territory? Did he think the ones above will turn a blind eye to his actions?”
”I heard he plotted with an elder from the Moon Region, who was also executed.”
