Chapter 963 Sovereign

Chapter 963 Sovereign

Ming Region, Vorr Zone.

Souta rose from his seat and surveyed the surroundings, detecting hundreds of creatures nearby. These were the dream beasts inhabiting the area.

He found himself on one of the floating islands within this region. However, this island no longer floated; it had crashed during his confrontation with the previous Sovereign of the Ming Region.

Realizing he needed to locate Alice and the others, Souta understood they could not have landed in other parts of the Nightmare Realm; the trial only took place here.

While the Ming Region boasted abundant resources, they were currently of little use to him. Although it would be beneficial to bring these resources outside, he lacked the capability to do so yet. Such a feat required a high level of Dream Power.

Nevertheless, Alice and the others would benefit greatly from the available resources. As for Souta, the only path to increasing his strength lay in confronting higher-ranking Sovereigns.

Souta glanced at his sword and asked, "Saya, are you there?"

'I'm always here,' Saya replied.

"Well, last time, I couldn't bring anything with me, so..." Souta shrugged his shoulders.

'That's because you didn't have Dream Power at that time. It's different now,' Saya said.

"Hmm..." Souta suddenly turned his head as he sensed something.

...

Dozens of figures were inside the crashed floating island. They were inhabitants of the Dream Realm called hullscan, a demi.

Hullscan weren't that different from humans. Their appearance was almost the same except for their tall figures and grey-colored eyes. An adult hullscan could reach a height of two and a half meters.

Their group was led by two people: an old man and a man who looked to be in his early thirties. The old man was one of the great magicians of hullscan named Aorhen, while the younger man was an elite swordsman named Vabhron.

They were leading this expedition team.

According to the information, a commotion had occurred in the Ming Region. Various dream beasts left this region, and they started occupying other regions. Their goal in this expedition was to verify what happened to the Ming Region. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

The group was resting inside one of the large pieces of land that had crashed on the ground.

"We only encountered a few monsters," Vabhron said as he glanced at Aorhen.

"Most of them went to the other regions. The state of the Ming Region isn't normal. Almost all the floating islands have fallen." Aorhen pointed at the ceiling and added, "Also, this large piece of land that we are in should be packed with thousands of monsters, and from what we've encountered so far, I can estimate that the monsters here didn't even reach a thousand."

"Yeah, it's like a big fight happened in the region," Vabhron said with a worried look.

That's right, Alice and the rest would gather in the Ming Region. Then, they would use the resources in this region to boost their strength. All of them were sovereigns too, as they completed the trial and gained Dream Power. Actually, they could take the resources in their regions, but they decided to gather together in case someone attacked them.

All of this was useless to Souta. The only thing that could help him was the resources in those higher-ranking regions. That's why he was going to take them. He was going to challenge those sovereigns.

"Let's go!" Souta smiled as he bent his knees before launching himself.

Boom!

His figure crashed into the ceiling, tearing through the large piece of land.

...

The land of Vanko was in chaos. Sovereigns who had stood at the top for decades had fallen, their thrones taken by unknown individuals. The sudden upheaval caught them off guard, as they hadn't yet confirmed what had occurred in the Ming Region.

Chaos enveloped the land as numerous dream beasts started to ravage other regions. Those top-ranking sovereigns didn't bother themselves with the commotion, as the chaos was contained within the territories of lower-ranking sovereigns.

Six regions had suffered a few days prior. Various individuals were sent to investigate, but they found only traces of battle and nothing else. This incident reminded them of a shocking event that had occurred a month ago in the Ming Region. The sovereigns of those six regions were missing, and their fate was unknown.

In the Dean Region, within the Hull Zone, four individuals sat around a small table in a room inside a grand palace. Among them was a woman, accompanied by three men. These four were the sovereigns of the four regions in the Hull Zone: Yvun, Elio, Mira, and Ohrno.

They were the pillars of the entire hullscan demi race in the land of Vanko.

"It's terrible," Ohrno said, a bald old man with a thick beard and mustache.

"Yeah, six sovereigns have fallen few days ago," Mira nodded. She was a woman with long blue hair tied back.

Elio remained silent, his gaze shifting to Yvun. He was the youngest among them, with short black hair, sharp eyebrows, and pale skin.

Yvun looked at the three of them and said, "We need to prepare ourselves. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning. The entire lower ranking will likely be reshuffled."

While others were unaware that six sovereigns had fallen just days ago, the four of them knew. As sovereigns, they resonated with the core of Vanko, allowing them to sense disturbances when a sovereign fell from the throne. They had sent their people to investigate the new sovereigns and their intentions. However, the event in the Ming Region a month ago remained shrouded in mystery, with no clear understanding of what had transpired in the battle there.

Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door.

"My Lord, the expedition team in the Ming Region has returned," a voice called from outside.

"Call them in," Yvun commanded, turning his attention to his comrades.

Soon, Aorhen and Vabhron entered the room, bowing respectfully to the four sovereigns of the hullscan race.

"Can you narrate to us what you've experienced, leaving out no detail?" Yvun requested.

Aorhen and Vabhron exchanged glances before beginning to recount their experiences to the assembled sovereigns.
