Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast-Chapter 1852 - 684: The Change of an Era, Lord of Darkness_2

Chapter 1852: Chapter 684: The Change of an Era, Lord of Darkness_2

The news about the most ancient demon came from the Underworld Evil God; Jack Clark had no good explanation, so he simply made up an excuse, which no one present doubted.

However, when they heard the names of the most ancient demon and Selos, everyone showed a look of confusion and perplexity.

Including Carmen Lindon who Jack Clark thought was well-informed, even she, as the Valkyrie Dean for a hundred years, was hearing these names for the first time.

After pondering, Carmen Lindon still shook her head: "Sorry, Mr. Callum, I have never heard of the most ancient demon or the name Selos."

"You haven’t?" Jack Clark frowned slightly.

This world’s civilization has gone through seven destructions, past eight eras of civilization, and many secrets have vanished amidst history and the chaos of wars, so it was normal for Carmen Lindon not to know.

At the same time, everyone else didn’t pay it much attention, thinking that this so-called most ancient demon might be some Evil God that dissipated who knows how many years ago.

But at this moment, Estelle from the crowd in the academy spoke hesitantly: "I, I seem to know a little bit, but I’m not sure if it pertains to the most ancient demon."

"You know?" Jack Clark was somewhat surprised.

Carmen Lindon, Fiorina, and others also turned their gaze to Estelle.

Estelle nodded: "I once saw a fragment of a stele in the Imperial Treasury, which contained some information from the earliest era."

"The description on it tells of a time before humans came into existence, the era when boundless darkness enveloped and devoured the world."

"It was then that the Eternal God descended, Opening the Heavens and Earth, tearing through the darkness, Suppressing the Lord of Darkness who was devouring the world, and afterward created human civilization."

"But for some reason unknown, the Eternal God did not slay the Lord of Darkness, only Sealing him beneath the Earth."

"And when the Eternal God disappeared, he left behind a World Tree to suppress the darkness forever."

"Of course, that World Tree isn’t the one before us; the very first World Tree has long since vanished."

"However, the stele referred to the ’Lord of Darkness,’ not the most ancient demon or Selos, so I’m somewhat uncertain."

Having said this, Estelle hesitated: "Including the information recorded on the stele, I’m not sure of its authenticity."

"Over hundreds of thousands of years, civilizations have risen and fallen, and too many Mythical Legends have emerged among the people of countless empires and kingdoms, many more exaggerated than this."

Jack Clark slowly nodded, showing understanding, but also somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected that a casually mentioned broken stele would actually correspond to a real artifact.

The Lord of Darkness Sealed by the Eternal God, and the title of the most ancient demon could be marginally related, especially the part about being Sealed by ’Henry.’

So Jack Clark felt there was a high chance that this Lord of Darkness was the same as the most ancient demon described by Boroedo.

But it was unknown how strong the Lord of Darkness was and how much strength remained after being Sealed for hundreds of thousands of years?

As Jack Clark’s eyes narrowed slightly, Fiorina, who stood behind Carmen Lindon, suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Callum, Estelle is the Imperial Princess of the Kamor Empire, and as I know, the Imperial Treasury of the Kamor Empire houses many artifacts from the Ancient Civilizations."

"Many of these artifacts contain ancient powers. Since you are interested in the news of the most ancient demon, Mr. Callum, you might want to go see for yourself."

Without waiting for Jack Clark to respond, Estelle’s eyes lit up: "Mr. Callum, I can lead the way. I know exactly which corner that fragmentary stele is in."

"...Then I would be troubled." Jack Clark paused only briefly before nodding in agreement.

As Fiorina said, a stele that has been handed down from the previous civilization, or even an older civilization, should be extraordinary.

Perhaps the inscriptions on the stele contain the imprinted thoughts of their creator, providing a better understanding of the information regarding the Lord of Darkness.

Moreover, the underground labyrinth will need a week to recover; it will be ten to fifteen days before hordes of monsters are spawned. This gives Jack Clark some free time.

The most important thing is that he is not short of time.

According to the timeline when Henry appeared, and calculations based on Boroedo and other Underworld Evil Gods having been consolidating for two to three years, the flow of time here is dozens of times faster than in the mythical world.

A year here is but a few days to a fortnight in the mythical world.

...

Roar! Over the skies of the Brave City, a Giant Dragon over three hundred meters long, covered in Blue Scales, let out a roaring cry, its double wings stirring up a raging wind.

Perched atop this two-legged blue Flying Dragon was a dainty and luxurious white castle that spread over a hundred meters.

At this moment, within the castle’s rooftop garden, two girls respectfully arranged snacks and proceeded to pour a cup of aromatic black tea for Jack Clark and Estelle, as well as for Amitya.

Once the girls stood aside, Estelle, who had changed into a blue and white princess lace dress and tied her blue hair back, revealing her slender neck, began to speak with a smile, politely saying,

"Mr. Callum, this is our Kamor’s famous Snow Night Black Tea. See if it suits your palate."

Tasting the tea.

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, smiling warmly with tea and snacks on the table, Jack Clark who just slaughtered tens of millions of monsters, felt somewhat out of place.

At this moment, Amitya with her purple hair draped over her back and no longer in Valkyrie form, gently lifted the black tea and quietly praised,

"I had heard that the snacks and black tea made by Princess Estelle’s servants are unparalleled in the imperial city. I didn’t expect to have the honor of tasting them here."

As she spoke, Amitya smiled at Jack Clark, "Jack, give it a try; the flavor surely won’t disappoint you."

Well, if the scene is weird, let it be weird. Jack Clark shook his head, lifted the cup emitting a rich floral fragrance, and took a small sip.

Immediately, over a dozen unfamiliar floral scents filled Jack Clark’s mouth, a delicate blend of light and rich, sweet, warm, and fruity, each distinct from the others.

This craftsmanship of blending various flowers with the tea, fully releasing the fragrance without any interference, evoked Jack Clark’s admiration.

"The taste is indeed good, it’s lingering and refreshing, making one feel as if they’re amidst a blossoming garden," he commented.

Estelle’s smile brightened even more: "I’m glad you’re satisfied, Mr. Callum. Tatiana, don’t forget to thank Mr. Callum for his compliment."

"Thank you, sir," said Tatiana.

Tatiana, the pretty servant girl who appeared to be in her early twenties and was respectfully bowing, made the mountain peaks half-covered by her chest seem even more voluptuous and fair.

Of course, such ’beauty’ could not tempt Jack Clark; it simply reflected the ’class hierarchy’ inherent in this world.

Estelle, an Imperial Princess, and Amitya, a daughter of a different kingdom and Estelle’s cousin, were polite in the presence of Jack Clark because of his strength.

But in front of ordinary people, they were princesses exalted high above.

However, these were trivial matters. What came next was a chat about tea among the three, while the colossal Blue Scales Flying Dragon cut through Carney Turner, flying over mountain ranges.

In just three hours, the Flying Dragon traversed over ten thousand kilometers to hover over a bustling, medieval-style city.
