Primordial Chaos Dragon Tower: Harem System

Chapter 444: Hidden Dangers

Hearing a Forest King might be after him made him alert.

A Forest King is a being akin to a Kingdom Protector, someone sitting at the peak of this world. That was like hearing a god is after him.

”Itʼs not conclusive, but the chances of that happening are high,” Sword King Shawn reaffirms.

”How sure are you?” Kent asked.

”To some extent, I can say very likely. The reason being, you have something they want.”

”The Forest King body I purchased at the auction,” Kent said.

”Indeed,” Sword King Shawn nodded.

”What do you know of the power dynamics of this part of the world?” He went ahead and asked. Kent thought for a moment before answering.

”I know there are four kingdoms, each having a protector who sits at the peak of this world. Aside from that, I know nothing else.”

Kent sighs.

Though the enchanted book he received from the enchantress helped him know more of this world, it didnʼt show everything. Itʼs more like it shows what is most known by many.

So since everyone knew of the four kingdom protectors, he managed to know of them too. Of course, he didnʼt get their names, mainly because these figures are hidden from most.

”Then you know nothing at all,” Sword King Shawn smiled.

”I will tell you what you are sitting in now,” he began. ”Though there are indeed four protectors, they are not the strongest of this continent.

In fact, the strongest of this continent are not we humans but the spirit beasts. Of course, this will puzzle you, but there are spirit beasts among us, and they are all around us.

You wouldnʼt understand much now, mainly because on this continent, the concept of other races is still not fully known.

But if you visit the other continents, you will know that the spirit beasts are just like we humans.

So on this continent, or even this world, the spirit beasts are the strongest. I met them, and that is why I am this confident.

However, they canʼt invade us simply because of a rule prohibiting them.

They have their own kingdoms, with one of such kingdoms being the Wild Forest. Now, before I scare you, know that we have four forests on this continent.

The Wild Forest, the Dark Forest, the Demon Mountains, and the Twisting Vine Forest. Of these four, the Wild Forest is the biggest of them all, simply because it houses seven Forest Kings, while the others only have one.

From what I know, these seven Forest Kings are each at the peak, and when I say the peak, they are at Level 9 Core Formation.

This made them the strongest in the entire world. However, this is also the reason why you are in grave danger.

From the reports I received, the Forest King in your possession isnʼt one of the seven but more like a hidden trump card of the Mountain Flame Tiger, one of the strongest beasts on this continent and perhaps the entire world.

It was killed by a rival Forest King, and even its body was sold to the humans. You may be wondering why that was done and who would have done it.

The answer to this question is the other races.

I donʼt know for sure which of them, but I am confident itʼs the elves, for the humans, and they are natural enemies.

This is why whenever we meet at the ancient battlefield of Parting, we either kill each other or ignore one another.

But while we humans arenʼt that petty, the elves are greedy and ambitious.

They are breaking the rules that prevent the spirit beasts from attacking us, and you may be the only thing standing between them.”

Kent was rather puzzled hearing that.

He appeared on this continent less than a year ago, so how the hell did he become the block that is preventing this battle from happening?

”You bought something that belongs to the beasts, and as such, you broke a rule. Of course, you werenʼt the one who killed it, but you bought it.

This means you have something you shouldnʼt have.

I only found out about this a few days ago. Apparently, the rule preventing the beasts from invading was a forbidden formation left behind by the previous emperor.

He was one of the top cultivators who vanished after the ancient battlefield of Parting.

This formation held the spirit beasts back all these years. However, that will be changing soon. The body now in your possession may be the key to breaking this formation.

This made this much more difficult, for if what I know is the case, your life has been linked to the beast somehow, and as such, the moment you die, the formation will become undone.”

”In other words, the death of the Forest King wasnʼt by accident,” Kent said.

”Indeed, this also means you bought a forbidden item. However, you didnʼt die after the evil sect attacked, and as such, they will try again until your blood is spilled.

This also means the Evil Sect isnʼt acting alone. I donʼt know much on that front though, but after pulling some strings, I can say you are their target.

The Beasts, Elves, and even humans are after you.”

A couple of meters from Kent and Sword King Shawn, a small dark bird was perched atop a wooden structure, overhearing their conversation.

Hundreds of miles away, Kingdom Protector Vari sighed.

”Now you know, Kent, what will be your next move? Either way, you wouldnʼt be able to walk away from this now, so just what are you going to do next?” She took another sigh and continued with her cultivation.

Back in Vastport City.

”So a different race, possibly the elves, chose to ally with the beasts of this continent and invade us by making us have something they possess, and in doing so, create some form of connection that now links my life to their formation.

Meaning the only thing standing in their way is me. Am I making sense?” Kent asked.

”Yes. They want you dead, from what I know.”

”Then why do they want to rule over humans?”

For these people to go the extra mile means they are after something. It wouldnʼt be as simple as just wanting to become the supreme rulers of the humans.

”That is the thing; nobody knows what they are after, at least I donʼt. But I can make a guess, and that is because on the ancient battlefield of Parting.

The humans have captured a region that contains a rare mineral weʼve been protecting for years already.

And since the Forest Kings canʼt enter unless the formation is down, this can only mean that the moment they gain control over the four kingdoms, everything will be theirs.”

”Damn, that is one conspiracy right there.” Kent smiled. ”Looks like the Hand and the Dark Devil Church can rest for now; I have beasts and elves to put in their place first.

Looks like visiting the other continent is a must now. I must get to know them at least before I put them in their place.”

”Did you just say the Hand?”

This time, it was Sword King Shawn who was shocked.
