In the eyes of the Magnetite people.
There would always be mountains beyond the Magnetite World’s mountain ranges, skies other than its own and the eternally flowing waters of the Magnetite River. Everything was in a state of impermanence. New things would appear endlessly and the world seemed infinite.
In the eyes of the fleshly beings of the modern Magnetite World, the mystique shrouding the incomparably beautiful Magnetite rock that was suspended in the sky earned their reverence. The weak fleshly beings that roamed the ground surface regarded it as their guiding light and the strongest among them who possessed the ability to control the Magnetite Star’s inexhaustible powers was respectfully named the Magnetite Star’s Light of Constellation.
It had the innate ability of an all-seeing eye, capable of omniscience for all creatures that lived below it. The fleshly beings of the Magnetite World however, were bound by some unknown suppressive law that restricted them from taking flight.
The laws of the Magnetite World were one-of-a-kind. The fleshly creatures that thrived on the ground never seemed to have developed their own civilization let alone an energy system. With a handful of exceptions, virtually none of them had reached the threshold to be labelled a Level-1 creature.
This naturally resulted in the segregation between the Magnetite World’s endless heavens where the Magnetite Star hung and its earth, where most of its inhabitants lived.
This illustrated the limits placed on the intelligence of the fleshly beings that roamed the Magnetite World.
The sheer scale of the Dagutha Magnetite Star, even when compared to the endless cosmic flow of stars across the skies above the Magnetite World, was still revered by generation after generation of Magnetite people as the king among kings, the sacred star that rose above all else. Because of its immense size, the Magnetite Ray it emitted outshone everything else and subsequently, it was incorporated into the list of the eight great celestial bodies in which there was also the Grand Peak Magnetite Star, which was regarded as their world’s epicenter.
And yet…
“Upon learning about the fact that the Evil Blood Dreadlord had broken the seal, I sent thirty six thousand Magnetite warriors to the areas surrounding the Dagutha Magnetite Star to safeguard the eighteen thousand satellites in orbit. This, of course, is all to prevent the star’s Magnetite Ray from escaping en masse onto the enemy’s hands, into the grips of that Evil Blood Dreadlord only to further strengthen his existing powers. Even so, we still couldn’t stop the large-scale leakage of the Dagutha Magnetite Star’s rays. You can see evidence of this failure from the Magnetite Mountain’s gradual collapse, and it seems my worst fears are coming back to haunt us, for I can feel that strong and evil will in the dark underground depths, slowly taking in the powers of the Dagutha Magnetite Star…”
Standing on the peak, the Dagutha’s Light of Constellation announced in a grave manner. The magnificent Magnetite Ray formed into a dazzling halo, lighting up the tens of millions of Magnetite people standing below, ears open wide.
Crack!
Rumble…
As if it had reached a certain threshold, the giant Magnetite Mountain beside the Dagutha Magnetite Star finally lost its ability to remain afloat and came crashing down onto the ground.
“Light of Constellation, that Evil Blood has finally come from the dark depths and is currently eroding away the fleshly beings of the earth. The situation is getting more and more out of hand. We must take the initiative to attack. If things go on like this, then I’m afraid…”
A petrified voice said from a ball of Magnetite Ray ten-or-so meters wide toward the Dagutha’s Light of Constellation.
“The Holy Light is weakening, and the Evil Blood’s Darkness Energy has returned to its once powerful state. For now, the declining Magnetite World can no longer conjure the entire world’s Magnetite Ray to, once again, banish the enemy into the underground depths like it did in the past. The Evil Blood Dreadlord’s invasion of the Magnetite World and his eventual rule over this realm as the World Lord has already been carved into our destiny. His return is unstoppable and the Magnetite World simply cannot resist its fate.”
A short moment later…
“We cannot resist our fate? No! The Magnetite World will never be invaded by that wretched creature! Even if the Dagutha’s Light of Constellation has given up hope, we will not! We will move forward toward the heart of this world to the Grand Peak Magnetite Star!

On the surface, the flora and fauna corrupted by the Evil Blood seemed to have reached their limit.
Over the past few years, one after another, the giant Magnetite Mountains crashed into the ground. Those stronger fleshly creatures tainted by the Evil Blood crawled amongst its rubble. Holding crudely constructed weapons in their grip, they roared into the sky as their greedy gazes remain fixated on the Dagutha Magnetite Star, whose orbiting Magnetite satellite rocks were gradually thinning out by the day.
Even the great Dagutha Magnetite Star itself had begun showing signs of gradual descent.
Gloop!
A giant bug that had been corrupted by the Evil Blood looked around maliciously with its only eye. Its body was covered in a layer of scales and its big fat tail squirmed behind its body, disturbing the blood-colored vegetation surrounding it. It had countless legs that were covered with barbs, digging into the ground as it continued to release a dark signal into the sky.
This was a Level-3 creature. A hundred years ago in the Magnetite World, the existence of such a creature was simply unthinkable.
Only from the legends, passed down from ancient times, when the Evil Blood had just descended onto the Magnetite World did such creatures appear.
As the “gloop” noise was made, an abstractly-shaped blood-like liquid emerged from a corrosive swamp beside this massive bug. The menacing signal emanating from its emergence was enough to create goosebumps all over a person. It seemed to be some sort of organism formed by the Evil Will from all places merging into one singular body.
This blood-colored liquid proceeded to turn into the image of an unrecognisable Elemental Creature before speaking in a low, hoarse voice.Visit web novel. live If You like manga , comics
“Recently, I felt that another will has appeared in this world. They seem to be invaders from another world, summoned by the Magnetite people as partners in crime. They bring with them an extremely dangerous and terrifying signal.”
Roar!
The massive bug bellowed. The ten-meter-long greasy tail wriggled around the swamp, splashing large swaths of mud into its surroundings. As the toxic biogas from the swamp’s content surged, the layer hiding underneath the bug’s scales secreted droplets of some unknown black liquid.
“This evil Magnetite Ray. Not only have they betrayed their own world, they even intend to enslave their own kind forever and become the sole ruler. The Will of this world will never recognise such treacherous acts. This is the curse of the ancient world’s guardians! They will only hide on those magnetite rocks, lending their strength just to survive. They will never become the rightful master of this domain!”
The massive bug roared with enough force to splatter the swamp mud around. Just around that time, lowly savage creatures started emerging from the dense vegetation.
It seemed that because of the endless Magnetite Ray of this world, the fleshly beings beyond the elemental energy system were severely restricted in terms of their ability to fly. Even for a powerful Level-3 creature like this one, taking flight was an impossible option. Such a phenomenon was unheard of in the worlds elsewhere.
“I have forgotten how long it has been, but the Magnetite creatures who escaped from some unknown world have ruled this place for such a long time. I was just another weakling amongst the ancient creatures back then, and look how much I’ve grown. This world has forgotten its past. Now, even as my body grows frail, tattered, and my will withers, as a fragment of this world’s ancient memories, and as an ancient being myself, I will never give up on the desire to expel these foreign invaders from our world! We are the true masters of this domain!”
In its low and hoarse voice, the Elemental Creature formed from the Evil Blood Dreadlord’s substitute body roared defiantly at the sky, toward the Dagutha Magnetite Star.
After tens of thousands of years of unyielding hard work, and after fleeing from a foreign world, it had finally returned to where it rightfully belonged. The ancient will back then was able to resist and seal-off its ambitions. Today, however, victory was finally in sight. The ancient winds of this world would be restored and its current Magnetite laws would be crushed and expelled. The fleshly beings of this world would finally see their laws transform and they would bow down to a new master…
But…
“Roar! Gather all the bloodprints you can find here! We are going to launch a counter-attack. Kill all those who intend to enslave the people of this world, for they are the true enemies! We will bring this Magnetite Star down to our feet now!
From afar, the screams of many terrifying creatures whose signals were on par with this giant bug could be heard.
They were the first batch of ancient creatures to be awakened. They were also the ones who accompanied the Evil Blood Dreadlord’s banishment into his underground prison eons ago. In other words, they possessed the memories of this world’s past just as the Dreadlord did.
Boom!
The ground split open and the bedrock splintered, giving way for a river of blood to burst out like a geyser, as if a giant’s arm had been unleashed from the depths of hell. The blood-like liquid shot out with so much pressure that it clung onto the bottom of the Dagutha Magnetite Star, which had lost a significant amount of altitude over the past few years.
Growl…
Tens of thousands of ancient strong creatures leading an army of weak, fleshly creatures climbed into this river of blood and charged toward the Dagutha Magnetite Star itself.
Savage cries echoed through the sky as they swept upstream.
Within every ancient creature, was a small fraction of the Evil Blood himself, which was why their bodies and souls did not decay with the passage of time during their banishment.
