Chapter 124: The Strongest Power in The Universe
Arthur stepped forward firmly and confidently. He stood directly in front of the figure of Dark Azazel who was imprisoned in his throne, completely miserable.
Among the six shackles, one had already been removed, leaving the other five. Dark Azazel smiled, his pitch-black eyes focused ahead.
"Six shackles for six kinds of power. The first shackle opens the first spear of destruction, the last one opens the chain of death," Dark Azazel replied, not understood by Arthur.
"Tell me, are you trying to take over my body?" asked Arthur, sternly.
Dark Azazel was speechless, his eyes fixed on Arthur. His lip line was drawn up, and his black teeth showed as his wide smile was displayed in front of Arthur.
"Right."
Arthur was instantly taken aback, responded by stepping back away from Dark Azazel. Arthur's pathetic response drew a long laugh from Dark Azazel, who even called Arthur the biggest loser in the universe.
"Don't you remember my power saved you?"
"Wasn't it with the help of my powers that you were able to save so many people?"

"Don't you feel that my power is the strongest power in the universe?"
The man continued to step away from Dark Azazel. What Aerith said was right, he should not place much hope in the dark entity's power.
"What good is it to me if you're planning to take my body?!" said Arthur.
"You simply do not understand the consequences of this. I let you have my power, isn't it only fair that I do my duty?" asked Dark Azazel.
Dark Azazel's figure was getting farther and farther away from Arthur's eyes, the man continued to stay away from him with the excuse of being reluctant to help the entity.
If he released the shackles on Dark Azazel's right hand, it was not impossible that the dark entity could seize Arthur's body faster.
"I don't know who incited your thoughts, but mark my words, Aaron."
"My power is the strongest."
"My power is the strongest."
Arthur stopped walking when Dark Azazel said so. Dark Azazel smiled broadly with his hands raised up, at the height of his shoulders.
With a hand movement like pulling something, Arthur's body, which had stepped away from Dark Azazel, now felt like someone was pulling him back in.
Arthur was stunned, his body was near Dark Azazel with the dark entity's left hand choking Arthur's neck. His eyes darted to the side, staring at Arthur intently.
"Mark my words. My power is the strongest!"
"I will not be complacent enough to let you take my body," Arthur replied, trying to break the grip of Dark Azazel's hand.
Dark Azazel released his choke hold on Arthur's neck, making the young man choke and step back away from the monster.
The black aura typical of the darkness of the universe that originally radiated on his body, slowly disappeared.
The man on the throne began to calm down, his left hand was no longer raised and was leaning casually on the handrail of his throne. Dark Azazel closed his eyes slowly.
"Eventually, you will understand the meaning of my words, Aaron."
The scene around Arthur changed to a vast blue sky with scattered clouds. Arthur no longer saw the figure of Dark Azazel, not with his dark black aura.
Shortly after that moment, Arthur suddenly woke up and found his body in a room. The room was larger with more furniture and modern, it was clearly not a room in a guest house.
There was no one there, Arthur woke up with the same clothes still clinging to his body.
He thought about his training with Nathan, the training that made everything go wrong and Arthur almost critically injured.
Luckily, Mona and some Sky Sword members managed to recover Arthur's condition. He is now fully stabilized.
To confirm his condition, Arthur pressed the system watch and brought up the profile status panel. He needed to know how much HP and MP he currently had.
[Name: Aaron Lewis]
[Age: 18]
[Level: 85]
[EXP: 245000/400000]
[HP: 76500/76500] [+500/5 sec]
[MP: 185000/257000] [+750/5 sec]
[Additional MP: 0 MP]
[Mage Level: Intermediate Sage]
[Race: High Human]
[Title: -]
[Money: 1928000 RL]
His HP has recovered back to normal. However, MP is still in the process of regeneration. Luckily for Arthur, the green notes next to HP and MP were enough to prove that Thalenia was active again.
'With Thalenia being active again, I can use her basic buff again,' Arthur replied softly.
Just as he tried to get up from his seat, the door to the room opened and revealed a woman Arthur was familiar with. She was Nathan's female aide.
"What do you want to do?" asked Arthur.
"I want to thank you for giving up your fight with Nathan," replied the woman, Arthur recognized her as Silva.
Silva stepped closer to Arthur, pulled out a wooden chair and sat on it. She thanked him again while praising Arthur's skills. If Arthur had not fought Nathan, Silva would probably have supported Arthur 100%.
Arthur sighed. There was no advantage to Arthur winning against Nathan, but if he lost, then Silva had an obligation to repay her debt to Arthur. Now, Arthur had the right to decide what he wanted.
"As per the agreement. You'll give me what I want, right?" Arthur asked.
"Yes. Whatever it is," Silva replied, both nervous and curious about what Arthur wanted.
The man seemed to pause for a moment, trying to decide what was best for him. His current goal was to reach the 25th floor quickly, to reach that place, there were many ways that could be done.
Arthur smiled, he already knew what he was going to do. He began to explain what items he needed, Silva swallowed her saliva deeply when she heard that.
"I want 5 MP Crystal level 5 pieces and a map of five floors up. That way, you won't owe me anything anymore," Arthur explained.
Silva nodded. For those who focused on pursuing the raid on each floor, the maze map in Dark Pillar would be very important to obtain.
She had no problem with the map, but for 5 MP Crystal level 5 pieces, she didn't know if she could get them or not.
"I have the map, but I don't know if I can get those five level 5 MP Crystals," Silva replied.
"That's your business, not mine."
Arthur got up from his seat on the edge of the bed and walked away. Just before opening the door, Arthur stopped his steps again.
"I will give you time until the Dark Pillar is opened. If you don't give it to me, then you will get hurt," threatened Arthur.
"Do you understand?" Arthur asked Silva.
Silva cleared her throat in agreement to what Arthur had asked, "Yes. I understand."
