Schordinger and Deviola successfully escaped.
A portal to another dimension, leading to different places, opened. Schordinger and Deviola emerged from it, a portal that only Deviola and those she permits may enter. Now, Schordinger could run in peace, slowing down slightly to preserve his energy for the next battle in the Kingdom of Valhalla.
They arrived at the abandoned main entrance to the Kingdom of Valhalla, shrouded in eternal clouds. It was a dark, barren wasteland where millions of living beings had once fought an inevitable war against the Evil King's army. The place had become a graveyard for swords, spears, bows, and other weapons used in the war. Even unknown technologies could be found, corroded and forgotten in this desolate land.
Deviola descended from Schordinger's hand and then slowly walked toward their next destination, having noticed someone who wished to greet them properly. Schordinger halted his movements, allowing his lord to walk past him. They then walked in sync, as a lord and her servant.
"Don't let your guard down, Schordinger. But I doubt they'll look trouble with us this soon." Deviola warns.
"I understood, my lord." Schordinger responded.
The man awaiting their arrival was shrouded in a dark aura and shadow magic, as though a serpent were coiling around his body. He wore a black oriental suit adorned with a lotus motif at the lower hem. His long black hair, sharp eyes, and pointed ears gave him the appearance of an elf. However, with his pale white skin and mastery of dark magic, he belonged to the race of dark elves.
With great confidence, Deviola approached the man, and the shadowy figure greeted her with utmost respect.
"I see, I understand, welcome back to our world, The Evil King, Diavolo." the man in shadow bowed deeply.
"No need for formalities. Tell me, what do you want from me. We're in a bit of hurry today." Deviola answered.
The man then raised his head, gazing at Deviola with full confidence, clearly appreciating her attitude from the moment she spoke to him. He smiled, let out a brief laugh, and spoke in a mysterious tone as the dark aura around him intensified.
"As expected from the lord of chaos, I truly am amazed by your show. Let me introduce my name first." the shadowy man then bent slightly, placing his left hand over his right chest while hiding his right hand behind his back, "The name's Sima Yi, I am the puppeteer of Weiss and Noir, Watcher of The World. I came from another world that surpasses this fantasy magic world. A world where strength of money and authority rules above all."
"Sima Yi? What an odd name." Deviola mock him.
"He was the man who shattered the legends of the three kingdoms in my land and united them as one. In my eyes, he was a hero, but modern society portrays him as a cunning villain. Truly fascinating. That's why I admire his name and use it as I please."
Schordinger had a bad feeling about this man. Despite his claims of being from another world, Sima Yi's mana flow structure resembled that of most people in this world. While Schordinger considered marking him as a liar, his story was convincing enough to be true. The dark elf might be hiding some mystery and conspiracy around them, but he hadn't anticipated it being this serious.
"I came here in the name of D.I.A.S to offer you a cooperation business that might piqued your interest. Would you like to hear?"
Knowing that Sima Yi is from an organization called D.I.A.S, Schordinger recalls that Noir had also extended an invitation to resurrect The Evil King. However, now The Evil King is present and has transformed into The Evil Queen. Schordinger assumes that Sima Yi might seek her cooperation to help them dominate the world, considering he is speaking with The Evil Queen herself. Yet, the possibilities are vast.
