Chapter 748 - Advanced Demon 2 (1/2)

There were several places called Vortex on the Rhodesia Continent.

In the past, Luke went into a dire situation in the Dark Forest and the Sea of Reapers where the sailors never went.

And the other one was Crete.

The isolated rocky island on the east side of Rhodesia continent was covered in thick fog, almost all year around, and it was one of the most popular vortex points.

Kiik! Kiik!

A small ferry was moving through the misty fog.

An old man and a sharp-looking younger man, both dressed in black uniforms were on the ferry.

The young man’s gaze was fixed on the dark rocky island beyond the fog.

“Is that Crete?”

“Yes, man. It is the Vortex where the punishment was given.”

According to Belfair’s research, Crete was a small nation till 300 years back.

The actual name was Crete Kingdom.

And the people who lived there worshiped Hades, the God of Death.

Not any Devil King, but the God of Death Hades was who the people in there believed, and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, the problem was that the King and the people would secretly commit all sorts of evil deeds which couldn’t be described, including personal offerings.

“The slave, who was about to be sacrificed, barely managed to escape and made the atrocities known. And the Holy Empire’s Pope of that time heard of the situation and dispatched the subjugation troops led by Saint Guards…”

“That was why they perished?”

“No, before that, there was huge punishment on Crete. Suddenly the ground beneath cracked, the smoke of hell covered the place and rain poured down from the sky, everything which was alive turned into ashes.”

‘That wasn’t God’s Punishment, but a volcanic eruption.’

No matter how one noticed, it was a natural disaster which everyone seemed to believe as God’s Punishment because of the timing being so appropriate.

Well, after that, Crete turned into a land of death, where humans couldn’t live.

Even the pirates would shy away from entering the Island which was abandoned by God.

‘There are no survivors of the Crete Kingdom. But why is there a Crete mark on the treasure which the Veritas remnants who were secretly disposed of?’

That was the reason why Belfair was there, even in the midst of the situation when Rhodesia was turned upside down due to the Undead.

Up till a month ago, Belfair was scouring the Libiya Kingdom on the orders of Luke to find out where the Death Knight and Lich were placed or connected.

That was when he discovered a large amount of supplies, secretly being supplied into the Libiya Royal family.

What kind of money did the Libiya royal family have? Especially after suffering from financial difficulties, how were they buying supplies?

Belfair who was puzzled released his men and soon discovered that Libiya fishermen were circulating large quantities of jewelry and gold on the black market.

At first, it was thought that the Libiya royal family was in a hurry to dispose of the nobles and asylum seekers from Grenada.

However, Belfair found something even stranger when he obtained and looked at the treasure on the black market.

A small seal was stamped on the jewels or the gold which were being processed, when took a closer look into it, he recognized it as the crest of the Crete Royal family.

‘I heard that there was not a single person or thing seen in Crete after the punishment was given. So why now? That too, getting released into the black market of the Libiya Kingdom?’

As he was in doubt, Belfair grabbed the men who had gone to dispose of the jewels and knocked them out.

Before he could bring out any information, they all bit the poison which was hidden in their molars and killed themselves.

Belfair, who had doubts that the treasure had a close relation to the Veritas, went to Crete, the source of the treasure.

It was his plan to track the movement from there.

“I can’t go in anymore! I heard that the more we enter, we turn blind and deaf as we hover in the fog till death!”

‘Tch, pathetic old man!’
