Chapter 721 - 398: Varesa, Your King Has Returned!

And he also had an inseparable relationship with this Lost Dynasty of Varesa.

However, when the exiled soul was found by Rogel, it was already incomplete, so even Rogel didn’t fully understand the cause and process.

The reason for Varesa’s fall, naturally, was also unknown.

But now it seemed that all the mysteries would be revealed.

After observing the battle in the palm of the Sun-Chasing Giant, he withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the body within the entire Sun-Chasing Sea Giant.

[Varesa Sun-Chasing Giant]

[Type: Rune Creation]

[Quality: Red]

[Level: 80]

[Tier: Angel]

[Explanation: A rune giant created by the ancient Varesa Dynasty, powered by solar energy, immensely large enough to support the survival of all the subjects of the dynasty. They always believed that the pursuit of the sun would have no end, just like their dynasty would never meet its demise...]

A dynasty that would never meet its end...

Heh... Rogel chuckled softly in his heart, continuing to scan over the submerged portion of the Sun-Chasing Giant in the sea.

The Sun-Chasing Giant, for some unknown reason, had already sunk into the sea, but its body was very intact without any signs of damage.

However...

Rogel’s eyes narrowed, and with the enhancement of Mysterious Power, he quickly saw the internal state of the Sun-Chasing Giant and understood the cause of its current state.

The cause was a residual will of a Pollution God from beyond the world.

Its aim was to try to turn the Sun-Chasing Giant into its divine body.

In this way, the reason why Vic was exiled becomes self-explanatory.

"Such a lingering spirit..."

Rogel’s gaze turned slightly cold.

No wonder the soul of Vic, the Crown of Varesa, was exiled outside the realm, and the Sun-Chasing Giant lost its source of power and sank into the sea...

When he helped Vic, he certainly didn’t know about this matter, and his purpose was largely to "support assistance" and out of curiosity for the Varesa Dynasty.

What he didn’t expect was that the fall of the Varesa Dynasty was also inseparable from these Pollution Gods.

"I wonder how many such hidden threats are lurking in this enormous world..."

Rogel thought to himself silently.

After pondering for a moment, he contemplated raising his hand to extinguish the residual will within the Sun-Chasing Giant.

But on second thought, he decided not to act yet.

The reason for sending Fernar this time, after all, was also to train him a little.

...

Just as Rogel was contemplating.

Vic had already quickly found the main rune mechanism in the palm of the Sun-Chasing Giant and destroyed it.

After the failure of the rune mechanism, the entire Varesa warrior army collapsed as if losing its life in an instant.

This left Vic feeling puzzled and uncertain.

The two survivors managed to enter the body of the Sun-Chasing Giant through its palm.

Then, under Vic’s guidance, they proceeded towards the head of the Sun-Chasing Giant.

On their journey, it couldn’t be said to be smooth sailing, but it could be said to be nine deaths and one life.

Since Varesa was a dynasty, the body of the Sun-Chasing Giant was extremely vast, and each part housed structures akin to a "city."

And within these giant cities, Fernar and Vic saw not only strange structures but also the citizens of Varesa.

The good news was that these citizens appeared to be alive and able to move.

The bad news was that these citizens looked like dried corpses, not only were they unable to communicate, but they also wanted to kill the two upon seeing them...

At this moment, Vic and Fernar didn’t need to think too hard to know that the Varesa Dynasty had suffered an unknown mutation.

As the two continued to advance.

The crises they encountered grew more and more intense.

The Varesa Mages controlling Rune Stones... Rune Creations with negative effects upon self-destruction... Mad monsters carving runes onto their flesh...

Fortunately, due to their "strong fate" and "good luck," they managed to proceed without significant danger.

Cloaked in shadows, Rogel watched with keen interest.

To tell the truth, it really did feel a bit like playing a roguelike game.

’This black cat... why’s it suddenly so quiet?’

Vic, who finally found a place to rest temporarily, suddenly noticed the black cat’s strange behavior.

...Vic thought so because normally, whenever the black cat had a spare moment, it would often throw a few sarcastic comments to ruffle his feathers.

But today, it just sat obediently to the side without saying a word, like a good student sitting properly at a desk.

If it weren’t for its tail occasionally swaying, Vic might even have thought it was dead.

"How far until we reach the Giant’s head?"

Fernar naturally had no idea what Vic was thinking; he only cared about how much longer it would take to leave this eerie place.

"Almost there, there should be a Teleportation Rune Array in the nearby city."

Vic said.

"Of course, that’s if we manage to..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Fernar raised his hand, somewhat annoyed, to stop him: "That’s enough, no need to continue."

After resting for a while.

The two proceeded further.

Luckily, Vic’s ill omen didn’t come true.

Even if they didn’t know how much time had passed, the Teleportation Rune Array inside the Sun-Chasing Giant’s body was still operational.

After a spatial distortion.

The two finally arrived at the part close to the Giant’s head—the Giant’s chest.

As soon as they landed.

The first to react wasn’t either of them.

But Rogel.

In an instant, he exterminated a high-tier monster lurking beside the Teleportation Array.
