Komer similarly felt the improvement of his magic ability. Now, he would enter the Nightmare realm almost every other night. The memories of Kennifer III from his past life had been almost completely copied into Komer’s brain via a so-called “soul-branding technique,” and the various experiences of Kennifer III’s previous life gradually infused into Komer’s spirit. Komer had become a hybrid in an imperceptible way, which he himself had felt, but he did not reject it. Komer had come to believe everything that Kennifer III had said in those nightmares. However, he did not plan to act as the heir of Kennifer III and raise the flag to restore the Dark Empire. If in the future, when conditions were ripe, taking up this mantle became advantageous to him, that would be another matter. But at least for now, with the Dark Church already becoming synonymous with history and heresy in Mortal Society, Komer naturally would not commit such a foolish act against the whole world.
Upon his return to Caucasus, Komer immediately entrusted the resourceful Caffrey to borrow a large collection of history books from the Kingdom’s Library and private libraries regarding the Dark Empire and the Bright Holy Teaching from hundreds of years ago. As Komer had expected, there were very few records about the history of the Dark Empire, and the rise of the Bright Holy Teaching seemed as pure as the angels in mythology. The term “Saintess” certainly existed, but it wasn’t associated with any emotions or evil, as all Saintesses of the Bright Holy Teaching spend their entire lives devotedly serving the God of Light within Marco, never stepping outside. Komer did find some clues from the history books in some private libraries, suggesting that the Dark Empire indeed existed on the Blue Continent and that the so-called Dark Church was once flourishing hundreds of years ago, even becoming the state religion of the Dark Empire. The territory under the Dark Empire’s control was quite vast, approximately in the northeastern direction of the current kingdom, now a barren region connected to a vast unknown land. Apart from Adventurers, no one wished to approach that area, including the beastmen who kept their distance.
However, all the history books made no mention of the demise of the Dark Empire and the Dark Church, as though such a vast empire and once prosperous sect vanished into thin air. This made Komer suspect that there were unspeakable secrets involved; however, now was not the time to probe these secrets. What Komer needed now was to seize the time to practice the countless treasures of magic dark arts that Kennifer III’s memory brought, especially the Dark Divine Technique, which Komer found most enchanting.
Standing on the hilltop, Komer and Ilot shielded their eyes with their hands as they gazed into the distance. This was an area of uneven low hills, possibly due to the dry climate, there were very few trees over five meters tall, but shrubs under three meters along with various weeds spread across the entire ground. Komer and Ilot had arrived in Bahomon three days ago. Komer had hoped to participate in this adventure to cull Ogres alone, but Ilot, having been tortured by dull training tasks to the brink of madness, insisted on joining Komer to Bahomon after learning of this news. Komer could not win against his persistence; moreover, Ilot’s swordsmanship had greatly improved after receiving pointers from Komer, imbued with the memories of Kennifer III. Komer too, hoped to have a companion by his side for support, so he agreed to his request.

Beyond the Lord’s Guard, Komer, after the arrival of the Immigrants, to balance their psychological feelings, recruited an additional five hundred members of the Caucasus Self-defense Forces from the Caucasus people, serving as a complement to the Lord’s Guard. A large number of immigrants from the Myron Duchy joined the newly formed Self-Defense Army, and Ilot officially became the commander of the Self-Defense Army, with Baoling as his deputy to assist Ilot in training. After handing over his commanding position, Komer proceeded south with Ilot to Bahomon, which had become a large construction site. The road construction from Bahomon to Ugru had been a primary project for Caucasus right from the start. As the main route for transporting Fine Iron Ore, this road signified the lifeline of the entire Caucasus, and at least in the short term, this transport route would be the most important artery. Komer and Ilot reached their destination after traveling along this nearly completed road for two days.
“Boss, it has been three days already, how come we’ve found no trace of the Ogres? I clearly remember encountering them in this area last time. Could it be that the Ogres have moved?” Although it was early Spring, this was the southern end of Caucasus, where the climate was warmer. The midday sun even had a hypnotic effect that made one drowsy. However, creatures like Ogres, being secondary high-level Magical Beasts, not only possessed great Attack power and nimble Moving abilities, but also sharp Perception senses and considerable intelligence. Once they sensed an outside intrusion into their territory, they would soon choose the right moment to strike, so on this land, Komer and Ilot dared not slack off even a bit. Komer was also consciously releasing minor Perception Magic to expand his Perception range to the maximum, in order to grasp any changes in the surrounding area.
