The chapter opens with Kael facing Count Morgan's clone in a tense standoff, both measuring each other for the first move. Morgan strikes first, launching forward with killing intent. Kael responds instantly, firing a Mana Bullet aimed at Morgan's head, but the clone narrowly evades. Drawing his twin daggers, Kael vanishes in a flash, moving at near light speed and reappearing behind Morgan to strike. However, Morgan counters the attack effortlessly, mocking Kael for believing he could stand against him simply because he is the Heir. Morgan boasts that while Kael suffered and burned in the past, he himself has been training relentlessly.
Morgan then hurls his massive sword toward Kael, intending to pin him down with its overwhelming weight. Kael disappears again, but Morgan proves equally capable, recalling the sword mid-flight to block Kael's surprise attack from behind. The clone spits cruel insults, mocking Kael's past, his family, and his father's neglect. Kael bursts into laughter, openly ridiculing Morgan's hypocrisy—calling him a schemer who pretends to be noble while hiding a ruthless, animalistic nature. Enraged, Morgan threatens to rip out Kael's tongue and throw his body into the abyss.
The verbal exchange escalates further when Kael coldly points out that Morgan's evil nature drove even his wife to abandon him. This ignites a brutal battle. The two clash with devastating force, unleashing explosions, magic techniques, and raw physical strength that ravage the battlefield. By the end, Morgan's clone is beaten to the point of humiliation, while Kael sustains serious injuries—fractured ribs and internal damage. However, Kael's evolved healing ability manifests as true regeneration, allowing him to recover, though his mana reserves are pushed to their absolute limit.
Standing over the defeated clone, Kael acknowledges Morgan's strength but declares that this body is only a substitute. He vows that he will hunt down Morgan's true body and tear him apart limb by limb for the fear, suffering, and chaos he has inflicted upon countless lives.
Four months later, during the winter season, the scene shifts. Kael, accompanied by five Shadow Warriors, is tasked with hunting a monster responsible for killing travelers and merchants along the trade route between the capital and the Eastern Lands leading to BOGO Capital. Following the trail, they locate the monster's lair hidden behind a waterfall. When Kael enters the cave beyond, he does not find a simple beast, but a far crueler truth—the monster is being controlled by a powerful succubus demon.
At that moment, Kael's system issues a new task:
[System Task]
Subdue Lilith, the Succubus Demon, and turn her into a tamed monster.
Rewards:
HP: 2,456,421
EXP: 10,942,244
4 New Skills
System Upgrade
Kael is shocked, especially as he knows the coming year will force him to travel across realms under the directive of the Gods, preparing for the looming invasion of the Outer Gods. Acting decisively, Kael subdues Lilith in less than an hour. Furious and humiliated, she curses Kael relentlessly. When she regains awareness, she realizes she has been confined to Kael's Sub-Plane, the same space housing the Mimicking Demon.
Void, the Mimicking Demon, explains the situation bluntly: this sub-plane is guarded by over 6.2 million undead, and Lilith's powers are sealed because Kael has not recognized her as an ally. Any misbehavior could lead to severe consequences. Lilith introduces herself as the Thirty-First Succubus Demon and questions Void, who reveals his name. Annoyed, Void internally complains about her being troublesome—only to panic when Lilith exposes her ability to hear thoughts.
As they talk, Void explains that after being tamed, he gained a Master Skill Use ability, allowing him to wield 20% of Kael's powers in combat. Lilith reveals she has gained a new ability as well: Mind Invasion. Observing their surroundings, Lilith realizes they are in a mansion-like structure, yet completely sealed from her magic. She questions why Kael would tame them instead of killing them. Void warns her to be careful, revealing that Kael's clones are stationed everywhere, constantly watching.
Elsewhere, Brown immerses himself in forbidden dark magic tomes, studying advanced necromantic spells. Kael prepares for his upcoming journey across worlds, while his companions each pursue their own paths—unaware that the battles ahead will determine the fate of realms far beyond their own.
