"They're gone, your honor?"

Irene asked zen quietly.

"Yes, they're finally gone."

"But is your majesty sure?"

"Regard what?"

"Allied with those two ancestors, they could have betrayed the noble one later?"

Of course it was a normal thing if Irene asked like that to Zen. With the current strength of Zen he would not be able to fight against those two ancestors simultaneously.

Although Zen could not die, but he would definitely continue to receive injuries if fighting the two of them. Because Irene was close to Zen so she asked.

"Just calm down Irene, it doesn't matter if they betray me later. From the beginning we had the same goals, but our final wishes were different. So you don't have to worry about that."

Although the 3 of them have the same goal, but as Zen said that they have different desires. The 2nd and 5th Patriarchs had tried to find pleasure in the war of all races that would ensue. Zen is not seeking pleasure but something else, something which has been lost.

"Well, Irene, how do you feel when you hear that this war is going to wipe out more than half the human race?"

"I do not know what I feel noble.The destruction of the humans later also has nothing to do with me. And also I have no emotions for it."

"No emotions, right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"But, do you know Irene? You're not emotionless, you're just holding back that emotion and trying not to let it out."

Zen stood up from the chair he was sitting on and stood in front of Irene.

"Humans are creatures who need emotions to stay alive, they need love, they need sadness and other emotions. So Irene, even if it's only half but human blood stays inside you. That's why Irene, I hope someday you can show me your emotions."

After saying that to Irene, Zen turned around and walked away from irene.

"Just like before, I'm handing everything to you Irene. I'll be gone for a minute."

"Where will his majesty go?"

"The basement."

Zen went to walk all the way from Irene to her room.

*******

"If I'm not wrong, it should be around here."

In his room Zen continuously opened the carpet on the floor of his room. After a while Zen finally found what he was looking for.

"So I'll see you later too."

hmm, isn't that a pretty weird magic circle?-

What zen was looking for was a magic circle that could make him head for the castle's basement. As the dark spirit had said, the magic circle had quite a strange shape.

"Well, I guess that's a strange motive for a magic circle."

"Then, what are you gonna do after this?"

"Isn't it clear. Of course I'll use it."

Zen injured his fingertips using a dagger he took from his storage room. He poured his blood into the magic circle.

Each time the wound was covered he again injured his fingertips so that his blood could continue to drip. After several times he repeated that, finally the magic circle began to respond.

At first the magic circle was pink in color, after being exposed to quite a lot of zen blood the magic circle changed to a blood red color. The magic circle continuously changed color, until in the end the color change stopped when the magic circle was gold.

The magic circle slowly began to disappear and a door opened with the magic circle completely disappearing.

- Secret door?-

-yeah.

Zen entered the dark secret door. The underground passageway that had been very dark was now light as soon as zen entered the passageway. Lanterns on the walls of the hall gave off light, Zen continued walking in the hallway.

- Hey, what's in there? I don't know why I feel so uncomfortable being in here

it's very unusual for you to feel uncomfortable. What are you feeling right now?-

I know I don't know what I'm feeling either. But since entering this place somehow I always hear a voice

- What are you talking about. You use my ears as an intermediary for you to hear. If I can't hear the voice you say, then you won't be able to hear it either

The spirit of darkness uses Zen's senses to know the outside information. That's why He can feel what Zen feels, he can hear what Zen hears, and he can see what Zen sees.

So it would be strange if Zen could not hear the voice that the spirit of darkness heard because the spirit of darkness itself used the ear of zen to hear.

- I was serious about what I said, I heard a voice telling me to keep coming there

so it is. Take it easy, if you hear that voice then maybe it's a good sign

- Maybe you said? Doesn't that mean you're not sure if that's a good sign or not. Or maybe you don't even know what's in there?-

I said take it easy, no, I know what's in there. And also who do you think I'm getting into here for. I came in here for you.-

- Oh, for me? Don't make me laugh, if this is for me then tell me what's in there?-

you'll know when we get there. Until then try not to be too noisy

Zen continued to walk in the underground passageway, until in the end in front of Zen was a large door. Zen opened the door by pushing it, The door slowly opened.

A bright light shone through the room. The light allowed Zen to see everything in the room.

- What the hell is that? Why is there something like that in a room like this?-

A body of a little girl with brown hair fell asleep inside a clear blue crystal. The spirit of darkness was startled after seeing something that was in front of Zen. That was a normal reaction he gave.

Even if others also saw what the dark spirit was currently seeing, they would also give the same comment.

The girl's body was completely covered by the crystal, the dark spirit continuously asked Zen about the girl. After a long time, Zen finally opened his mouth and said.

The spirit of darkness, did I not once tell you that I would find your body. And now here's the answer. The girl is your body, a body that has been asleep for 500 years
