Level Up Legacy

Chapter 1350 Visting Berilo

[Detect] worked better than expected-almost a little too well. Arthur not only visualized the surface of the world but its interior and surrounding orbit as well. The scale of his rune was so large that he collapsed from the sudden headache.

A rune that generated that amount of information was bound to exhaust him. Grabbing his head, Arthur persisted, fighting against the pain. Once he found what he was looking for, he stopped and rose.

Droplets of sweat streamed down his face, but his lips held a smile. The rune had shown Arthur everything he needed to know, including Kar's plan. However, he couldn't be in more than one place at once, nor prevent more than one thing.

Kar was after the amplifier, being guided by Valeria. Meanwhile, Deluge was in Kera, creating an army of lambs to be sacrificed. To stop both of them simultaneously, Arthur needed to call for help.

"Hello?" a voice on the other side of the runic device answered. "Is everything alright, Arthur?" Rain asked with concern, as Arthur rarely made a call.

"I found Valeria."

"We know she's in a dungeon in Sourna. But the Wisemen hid her well. We're searching with the sand thieves to find her."

"There's no need to search there," explained Arthur. "Valeria has been kidnapped by Kar, the Sin of Gluttony and Lord of Vampires. She's being forced to show him where the amplifier is. Right now, they're on a ship that left from Hikma's port."

"... What is Kar doing here?"

"Kar and Deluge have teamed up to sacrifice the city of Kera for reasons I still don't understand. Let's just say it's related to Devaheim. Their plan hit its first obstacle when I stumbled upon their feast of vampires and killed them all. Now, Kar is seeking the amplifier to complete the ritual in time, without his vampires."

"Send me their location, and I'll go after them," Rain replied, without a shred of hesitation. "What about you?"

"I'm heading back to Kera to destroy the barrier and the hypnosis. You can't fight Kar alone, so I'll send reinforcements. Wait at your location until I make further contact." "Understood."

Arthur ended the call with Rain and then called his younger brother, Oren. Though he was still worried, Oren was already an Astra-ranker and should be able to stand against calamities and provide support.

....Thank you for calling me, Art."

That was Oren's answer. Arthur could feel his brother's pride in being asked for help. He told Oren to take Nyx with him, and both of them would be transported to the location using Nightroad's jets.

With everything set, Arthur sighed in relief. He created a portal leading to Kera, all while lamenting why his city kept being targeted over and over again. Perhaps it was the location, as Mountain Range Rovero seemed to hold many mysteries.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

At first, Arthur tried to teleport directly inside Kera, but something blocked him. After a moment of thought, he decided to change his destination.

To prevent the sacrifice, Arthur needed to evacuate Kera's citizens. But his mana reserves were low compared to his goals. He couldn't teleport that many people, but there were others who specialized in that.

Two kingdoms lay between Janca and Halin: Tanera and Berilo. After the merge, these two kingdoms had been wiped off the map. No one had an accurate map of the world anymore.

Arthur teleported several times until he reached Berilo's capital. It was a kingdom of traders and merchants, specializing in storage runes and teleportation. The capital was larger than any other, with towers reaching into the sky.

After a moment of thought and surveillance, Arthur found Berilo's royal palace. To save the citizens, he was ready to strike a deal with people who might want him dead. It had been a long time since he last met Miko, Kirk, or Echo.

Miko was the teleporter girl he'd met during the first Holy Crown Trials. If not for her aid and guidance, Arthur might have died. However, ever since he entrusted Lilo to Hazel, who Miko hated, things had turned sour between them,

It took a while to understand that Hazel, who had wanted to summon an ancient beast in Jerano at the time, was doing so to strengthen the Tanera Kingdom. Such an act would have threatened Berilo, which led to their clash.

At the same time, Arthur had held Kirk hostage until his demands were met. Echo, the greatest assassin of the shadowy kingdom, had been the one to grant those demands. Now, Arthur was back to ask for their help.

Their reaction would be obvious, as Arthur had canceled the split their ancestor had worked so hard to create. Though he hadn't heard a word from them since the merge, Arthur imagined they were still picking up the pieces from his decision.

Instead of teleporting directly into the palace, Arthur descended from the sky using the rune [Flight] and landed at the front gates. Several armed men appeared around him, pointing their spears at him.

"Who are you?!" shouted a man in silver armor, with a large feather on his helmet. "State your business!"

"I'm here to meet the King of Berilo to discuss something," Arthur explained, raising his hands as a thin smile spread across his face. "If you tell him my name, he won't refuse."

"His Majesty does not accept sudden visitors," the man replied sternly, then paused. He stared at Arthur for a moment, frowning. "You look familiar...

At this point, everyone in the world recognized Arthur's face. To most, he was an anarchist; to a few, a revolutionary. The guards soon realized who he was.

"You're Arthur Netherborne," muttered the guard with a frown. "How dare you waltz into the palace grounds like this? His Majesty will not tolerate this disrespect."

"I came through the doors, didn't I?" Arthur grinned. "Let the king decide if he wants to see me or not. Tell him I'm here to ask for a favor."
