I left the similar black magic tower and a carriage of earl simon was waiting for me outside to escort me to his estate.
The city in which I arrived was named phantom city and it was the capital city of 43rd territory which was allotted to earl simon for administration.
The territory which earl simon handled lied within the 11th kingdom named coastal kingdom which was governed by Mavis coastal, a marquees ranked demon and there were 50 such territories under his domain handled by powerful demons.
The butler of earl simon escorted me to the estate of his master and informed me that earl simon was eagerly waiting for my arrival.
He himself would have come to escort me but his movements in current situation might attract unwanted attention to which I didn't bother, it would take 2 hours by horse carriage to reach earl's territory.
I wasn't particularly tired due to my immortal physique and thus decided to gather some information.
The information which I wanted to gather was regarding the ware bouts of my biological parents, because not right now but once I have finished my beast continent expedition, I have to pay them a visit.
In the 4th tab of genesis crystal [Information center], I searched for my father's name Alfred Howard the king of human domain and soon his details popped up.
Merlin has told me before that the system was playing with me by giving title of my biological father to that legendary swordsman Ronald grey and my ability to detect its lies failed because the information was in the form of holographic text.
______
[Name: Alfred Howard]
[Class: Legendary Magic Swordsman]
[Age: 43 Male]
[Description: Alfred Howard is the second king of pentagon kingdom situated in northern continent. He also has another name 'Puppet king' because there are evidences that the decision he takes are influenced by someone else behind the scene but the identity of that mastermind is not known.
The pentagon kingdom is one of the 10 human dominated kingdom on planet amora and it may sounds like heaven for humans living in demon domain but it is the worst of all the human dominated kingdoms.
Its nobility and even royalty, everyone has a connection with high ranking demons working for the populous on surface but involved in slavery, extortion and many other crimes behind the scene.
The tax implemented on commoners is around 60 percent of their daily income while nobilities are exempt from paying tax on the argument that they are administrator of kingdom or specifically the kingdom itself.
Most of the kingdom nobility and King Alfred himself are the follower of Demon goddess Lilith and thus it is estimated that there exist an apostle of demon goddess in pentagon kingdom.]
'So there is another demon god who is spreading his influence on planet amora but why is demon king allowing this?' Many question were raised in my mind and I had a wild guess as to who was this apostle.
'It must be that guardian or my mother but nothing can be said for certain right now.' I thought and searched for the information on pentagon kingdom.
The northern continent was 3rd biggest continent on planet amora and was under the jurisdiction of 3rd duke Elise who is also a pseudo rune grandmaster.
On northern continent pentagon kingdom was the biggest kingdom, it was established by Alfem howard first king of pentagon kingdom when demon king lucifer ascended to throne.
Alfem howard was the general of demon king lucifer's rebel army and thus his contribution in war allowed him a wish from demon king lucifer which he exchanged for establishing a human kingdom in northern continent but 19 year ago, his own son launched a coup d'état and ascended the throne with which prosper days of human kingdom pentagon came to an end.
Currently there are 6 Mythril and 1 transcended entities residing in pentagon kingdom making it considerable level of threat for surrounding kingdoms.
Pentagon kingdom is also preparing for war against its neighboring Kimish kingdom, which is also a human dominated kingdom but far weaker than pentagon.
To get only this much information I had exhausted 100 genesis contribution points but thanks to the information I understood that I have to delay my plans to visit my dear family for future, not until I have become an transcended entity myself.
I also tried to search for the information about Austin the aura grandmaster and merlin's old companion but it required at least 5,000 GCP for accessing basic information about him.
The genesis crystal in my hand was truly a marvelous thing which helped me access information which otherwise would take months for me to find.
Soon our journey came to an abrupt halt and I noticed we weren't in some grand castle but deep in the forest where nothing could be seen apart from trees and remains of some destroyed ancient building.
I swept my soul force in my surrounding and noticed there were some wild beast roaming few hundred meters away from our location but nothing out of ordinary.
By spreading more soul force in my surrounding, I noticed a change, when my soul force tried to penetrate deep inside the debris, it was pushed back by some unknown force and as I was about to break the barrier which forbid my soul force from advancing, I heard a knock on carriages door.
"May I open the door your excellence?" The butler said from outside the carriage.
I affirmed and the butler opened the door as I left the carriage.
"I have received orders from Earl Simon to escort you till here my lord, now I shall take my leave." I nodded and butler left with carriage soon enough.
'Is this some kind of test?' I though and spread my soul force once again but the resistance I felt earlier was still there.
Manifesting [Lightning wings] behind my back I soared into the air and soon arrived near the ruined site and upon closer inspection, I noticed a globe like invisible structure beneath the earth which was preventing me from analyzing underground area.
"I have come here after finishing a tiresome mission, if you people are done playing around, open the door or I will have to do it myself which might do you, more harm than good." I said as I neared the broken structure my voice resounding in every direction even though directed specifically unground the rubble but no response was heard.
"Let's do it your way." I said and my blue eyes under the ether mask started shining bright golden and soon a thick lightning beam fell on the rubble blinding everything.
The [Divine Verdict] spell was in effect for 3 second but imbued with fate points its destructiveness has soared to the level of rank 8 spell creating a 10 meter deep crater in earth.
I intentionally stopped the further use of [Divine verdict] spell because I sensed that whatever the device that was hindering my soul force previously has stopped functioning while 2 powerful entities, one ethereal and one immortal expert were approaching the surface.
My intentions behind causing this destruction were far sighted because I wanted to agitate earl simon as much as I can before war, which would led him to give me a reason to kill him when I am done with this war.
"Are you out of your mind?" It only took 10 seconds after my little display of power an agitated voice resounded from inside the rubble and two demons surfaced above ground.
"Young master, please refrain from agitating him, he is a member of genesis." The aged demon who followed the youngling requested.
"You expect me to calm down when he just destroyed our masking tool, do you have any idea how expensive and scarce that device is." The young master turned toward me mid-sentence for answer but ignoring him I expanded my soul force underground until it locked onto the most powerful figure underground.
[Lightening Transmutation]
Transforming into a streak of lightening I travelled past both the demons and arrived in the underground facility which was almost 300 meter wide and long having 12 large rooms.
I heard a furious roar from above the ground but ignoring it, I entered the large room at the end of the facility where a red eyed demon was looking interestingly where I had just arrived as if he already knew where I would stand after undoing my [Lightning transmutation].
