“My lord, if possible, can I follow you from now on?”

Sword Demon said solemnly.

“In my life, I have defeated many people and been defeated by others. I have long lost the will to live. Seeing your ultimate swordsmanship, I hope to learn from you.”

In order to study swordsmanship, he even gave up his identity as a Mage.

Seeing such a powerful swordsman, he was curious about the future of swordsmen.

“No problem. I will settle down here. If you have any problems with swordsmanship in the future, you can come to me. Of course, if you die, everything will be empty talk.”

He looked at Sword Demon and said seriously.

“Really?” Sword Demon was excited.

In the past, Sword Demon seldom spoke. After his crushing defeat, he had become very gloomy and his heart was very cold. That was because he had not encountered anything that could stir up his emotions. After hearing Ronald’s words, he was completely agitated.

However, what Ronald was thinking was very simple.

Having a companion isn’t too bad.

He smiled. This was a dark place. It was not bad to have someone to chat with here. At least it would not be too boring.

“Can you lead me to the owner of this forest?”

There were not many magical beasts in such a large forest, which proved that it must have an owner.

“My lord, have you really decided to stay here?” Sword Demon asked with excitement.

He had been in this forest for a long time, drawn by the strange magic in the forest. He was no longer human or ghost. If he left the forest, he might even die.

“I’ll stay here for a while and see what plans I have next. It’s impossible to stay here for the rest of my life.”

Ronald smiled and said slowly.

“That’s true. With your terrifying swordsmanship, you’ll be able to shake the world even on the main road, my lord.”

At the mention of the world, Sword Demon looked a little sad. He used to be a proud man. But he had been defeated in the South Continent, which became a sore spot for him.

Even though he could no longer leave this forest, he still wanted to see what kind of grand future this expert could have.

“Bring me to the owner of this place.”

That was all Ronald said as he stared into the darkness ahead.

“Please follow me, my lord.” Without any other communication, Sword Demon led him to the core area of the forest on this mainland.

Under the guidance of the Sword Demon, Ronald quickly arrived at the entrance of a castle.

It was a huge castle, but it was not harmonious on this land.

The castle had a strong historical charm, but it looked very gloomy in the dim surroundings.

The independent castle seemed to be the demon’s base, and this was Blake’s castle, the owner of Black Forest.

Ronald looked at the castle calmly and smiled.

“Interesting. Let me see what new power this place can bring me.”

“My lord, please enter.” Sword Demon opened the door and pointed inside.

Ronald didn’t feel any tension.

After entering the castle, flames lit up on both sides, illuminating the dark interiors.

The interior of the castle was beautifully decorated. Ordinary people would probably stay away from such a castle.

However, with the powerful modifier, Ronald was naturally different. He did not need to fear anyone. As long as anyone dared to attack him openly, he could modify the means of attack.

The extreme speed made it difficult for him to be caught. The extreme swordsmanship gave him the strength to fight. The terrifying affinity between the three elements and the treasure-like fire magic attack that the dean had left for him gave him the strength to fight anyone.

The current Ronald represented the Grim Reaper. Others could only pray that he did not kill anyone. No one had the ability to kill him.

The interior of the castle was very deserted. There were very few people living in it.

Sword Demon was very familiar with the castle, and it was obviously not his first time here.

Standing in the empty hall were the owner of Black Forest, Blake, a gloomy middle-aged man, a burly man, and a young woman.

These people were the managers of Black Forest.

The master of Black Forest, Blake, and the three big shots under his banner were all gathered here while they were conversing.

Footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor. They were so obvious that it sounded like there was more than one person.

“Who’s there?” The burly man shouted angrily.

“It sounds like you’re really near.” The girl’s voice was clear and her appearance was pure and beautiful.

The four of them looked in the direction of the door and saw Sword Demon walking towards them.

However, a young man also appeared behind Sword Demon.

“Who’s that? Can you get Sword Demon to bring him over?” Blake became more nervous, his eyes narrowed into slits.

Seeing that something was wrong with Blake, the middle-aged man frowned and had a bad feeling.

When this person appeared in the hall, the three of them were filled with thoughts.

The empty hall was completely silent. The Sword Demon stood aside and did not say anything.

He would leave the rest to Ronald.

“Who are you? Kid, what are you doing here?” The burly man stared at him fearlessly. This burly man was a combat Mage who had all of the close-combat abilities.

As there had been a war on the continent hundreds of years ago, the four continents had participated in it. The war had lasted for 200 years. Even the South Continent, which was known for its combat prowess, had many Mages sacrificed in that war.

From then on, the essence of the four continents began to be gathered by people with malicious intentions. Thus, many fighters who focused on actual combat appeared.

It was said that during the war, about 40 percent of the population of the four continents disappeared. In the end, a few powerful Mages appeared, who were later known as the Seven Heroes. They worked together to quell the war and asked the leaders of the four continents to sign a non-aggression contract before the continent slowly calmed down.

However, after all these years, five of the seven greats had died, and the remaining two were like candles in the wind. The agreement slowly fell apart, and the various continents began to secretly accumulate their future strength in order to deal with the war that could erupt at any time.
