3072 Pompeii! IV

As Noah made his entry into the depths of a unique domain filled with dangers, weavings somewhat relating to him continued to unfold elsewhere.

In another region of the Omniverse.

Within the bounds of Cappadocia that used to belong to Martial King Reperiel.

Auroras of blue and gold flowed as at this moment, the weavings of the Imperium had to continue.

Even a pristine Existential Domain like this could not remain without a leader as with war breaking out, most of the renowned Martial Kings were delegated to join it one after another.

Those who could be spared….were not the strongest nor highest quality of Martial Kings.

At this moment in time, deep within Cappadocia.

Within the Mines of Cappadocia, the figures of a dozen Entities were roaming around while gazing at the stellar Progress of mining all around them.

At the forefront was a chubby man who looked at the stellar rising crimson and blue mountains holding dense resources, a weak golden light of Teracosm shining around his body as he looked at the countless workers still mining all across these mountains.

A smile covered his lips as he spoke.

They continue to mine as if this was the purpose of their whole life…not even knowing of another war that has just started.

…!

The chubby Martial King spoke as the golden robes around him fluttered, the Teleios Stage Knights of Cappadocia who were showing him the land he temporarily ruled over only gazing at each other with wry smiles as they waited to continue!

But at this time…

Oh?

The brows of the newly selected Martial King of Cappadocia rose as in the distance, he saw a cluster of prisoners sitting at the base of a blue mountain doing nothing.

Even more so, they seemed to be lounging around while staring around freely, one of them even gazing up at them with wild disrespect!

Such a scene caused the chubby Martial King to squint his eyes as he began to float down towards this mountain.

Where is the warden for this region? Why are prisoners lounging around freely as if they own the palace?

…!

The words deserved an answer as the Teleios Stage Knights of Cappadocia gazed at the unique scene with slight confusion as one replied.

Some Wardens had to be recalled and moved out to the War, Martial King Adonis, but there should still be…

There should still be Wardens covering the vast mines of Cappadocia.

This was what the Knight of Cappadocia wanted to say.

But when his will gazed around, he came to a stark realization that he actually couldn't see any of the Wardens of the Mines of Cappadocia!

What was this?

Amidst the confusion, their figures arrived at the bottom of the mountain shining with cerulean light, crystalline materials strewn out all around them as Martial King Adonis held his nose in contempt while speaking out towards the ragtag group of prisoners just lounging around.

You utter wastes of Existence think it's okay to just lounge around? Do you truly think you can keep your status as Prisoners unless you do work?

…!

His words were sharp as they were directed to all prisoners here- but especially so towards an old looking man who was sitting down at the very center of this group!

His dark hair was sprawled out behind his back messily as his dark eyes seemed disoriented, Martial King Adonis gazing at him with distaste as this was a captured Dragon Knight of the Sanctum Populi.

He was a really high tier one at that as if his Dominium wasn't sealed, one would be able to see a powerful glow of gold to signify Teracosm, and yet here he was.

Simply as a prisoner to mine within Cappadocia.

The figure of this old man seemed tired and defeated as Adonis came towards him while his intent echoed out.

A new ruler has now descended in Cappadocia after your people ambushed the great Martial King Reperiel. Things will no longer remain the same here…the output of these mines will be increased as you all…

His will gazed around all the prisoners here with distaste as he was speaking when…

Oh?

He blinked as his gaze became locked onto the figure of a silver-white haired woman with shocking grace and beauty amongst all the prisoners here.

She looked tired.

She looked apathetic.

But her beauty…

Haha, why the hell were you put in the mines? Hey, bring this one to my chambers. With a face like that and a sealed Dominium, I can use her for many nights before she is broken.

He spoke while pointing to the visage of none other than the jailed Basileus Anaine.

As she was stripped of her position as a Basileus by Martial King Reperiel, she was currently just Anaine!

She gazed up at the eyes filled with a light of lust that had locked onto her as she shook her head as if she were looking at a bug.

And Martial King Adonis saw this as…

You-

He began walking towards her with a sense of cruelty in his eyes, but all of a sudden, something unbelievable occurred.

SQUELCH!

From his back, a hand pierced through and came out of his chest.

...?

Confusion was the first emotion that came as he and the Teleios Stage Entities following him came across this reality, their wills acclimating to see the figure of the old Dragon Knight having somehow risen and used his hand to pierce the chest of Martial King Adonis!

The weakness from this Entity had long since faded as he looked straight into the eyes of the turning Adonis who now became incredulous.

Your…sealed…Dominium…

They should have no power.

Their Dominiums should be sealed.

So what…

Ah, there are always exceptions, my dirty friend. Thanks for coming down though, it is about time for me to leave and begin expanding out there.

WAA!

The voice coming out of the old man was a unique one.

It felt young as at this moment, tendrils of blue light burned brightly in the eyes of the old Dragon Knight, the will of the Great Usurper, Noah Eckert, burning brightly as tendrils of his weavings went towards the replacement ruler of the vast Existential Domain of Cappadocia!
