Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil



Sansara World 2.0.

This was the ultimate masterpiece of Sage Lin Lehan. It stood as a unique and secluded dimension, a world unto itself, brimming with boundless potential.

The appearance of Sansara World 2.0 resembled a newly formed primitive realm. It encompassed diverse regions, each with its distinct atmosphere and climate. From lush tropical forests to snow-covered mountain peaks and from volcanic landscapes to serene riverlands teeming with nature's abundance, Sansara World 2.0 offered a rich tapestry of environments.

In some areas, gravity exceeded the norms of Anfang, while in others, it was notably diminished. Unlike its predecessor, this iteration of Sansara World lacked the presence of birds and animals, and the conventional food chain was absent. However, it seemed more capable of accommodating various forms of life, as if it were an ideal stage for the flourishing of a new civilization.

The sky above Sansara World 2.0 underwent mesmerizing transformations within a few minutes from day to night and back again, radiating with the brilliance of a bright and sunny day. However, were the sun and the moon really there?

The absence of celestial stars did not diminish Sansa World 2.0's ethereal beauty. It appeared as though the laws of nature had been intricately interwoven within this isolated dimension, defying conventional logic while still maintaining a coherent harmony.

Although this special dimension might have lacked the abundance of resources found in the original Sansara World, it possessed something far more profound. The Nature Laws of Sansara World 2.0 resonated with the reality of Anfang as if a mastermind had astutely infused the necessary elemental attainments into this separate dimension, seamlessly blending them with its essence, resulting in a natural and authentic existence.

In the heart of this secluded realm, amidst a verdant field, stood a modest single-story house. Fashioned with pristine white marble tiles and adorned with an elegant architectural design, the dwelling exuded an air of sophistication. Its expansive courtyard, encircled by a diverse array of flourishing trees and vibrant shrubbery, hinted at meticulous care and nurturance bestowed upon the thriving foliage.

As the sky painted a twilight tableau, casting a warm orange hue over the horizon without the physical presence of the sun, Eren materialized in this serene courtyard. The mysterious rune of space-element etched upon his hand momentarily illuminated before fading, signifying a successful teleportation to his intended destination.

"You don't come to meet me as often lately, Eren," a complaining voice gently reproached from behind him, and even before he turned, he recognized the familiar tone. "Ah, Maya, I apologize for leaving you stranded for so many weeks. There were pressing matters that demanded my attention, tasks I couldn't afford to postpone," Eren responded, offering Maya a gentle smile as he finally faced her.

"But I come bearing good news," Eren proclaimed confidently, his voice resonating with assurance. "Keke. You no longer need to confine yourself within this secluded place." His eyes gleamed as he beamed at Maya, radiating an air of excitement.

Maya's raven-black tresses cascaded down her face and gracefully draped over her back. Clad in an elegant black dress that accentuated her graceful figure, her stunning countenance mirrored a delightful mix of surprise and anticipation as she grasped the implications of Eren's words.

"Does that mean you have finally deciphered my father's space-element runes in their entirety?" Maya asked, her voice tinged with excitement.

Eren responded with another warm smile, nodding gently. It had been one of his arduous tasks over the past nine years—to study the space-element runes crafted by the renowned Sansara Sage during his time in Anfang.

Sansara Sage Lin Lehan's space-element runes.

These very runes had been incorporated into the Sansara World, enabling injured contestants to be transported in case of mortal danger while being part of the graduation test. They were also the runes that J.J. Edgar had decrypted and modified for use beyond the confines of the Sansara World. With their enigmatic powers, Edgar had traversed the capital of Edinburgh unhindered by any opposing force. Edgar could take such a bold move only because he had confidence in Sansara Sage's creations.

These space-element runes had facilitated Paladin of Pain Reva Rain's narrow escape from Eren's grasp during the battle at Edinnica Arena. Moreover, they had instilled the half-blood forces with newfound confidence during the past 9 years, enabling them to openly confront Anfang's armies without concern for their exit strategy.

From the moment Eren witnessed the astonishing display of these space-element runes firsthand, he was captivated by their capabilities. Their ability to be activated without generating discernible mana disruptions or spatial anomalies fascinated him the most. Possessors of these runes could seamlessly traverse regions without leaving a trace of their entry or exit.

Rankers adorned with these space-element runes would appear and vanish in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace of their activation. The advanced nature of these runes had even astounded King's Hand Garos Renar, and the other Sages present at the Edinnica Arena battle.

Edgar had bestowed the same space-element runes upon Demonmir and his comrades, enabling their escape from the clutches of Edinburgh's forces. Their absence of residual mana signatures after activation rendered them untraceable by pursuing Rankers.

Initially, Eren cursed these space-element runes to facilitate the Paladin of Pain's escape. However, the more he observed Edgar's use of the runes, the more he became enamored with their potential applications for his own purposes.

Thus, Eren dedicated himself to painstakingly deciphering these space-element runes. With Maya's invaluable guidance and access to Lin Lehan's original notes, observations, and research papers, Eren, with his array master class, embarked on experimental endeavors to decode the runes methodically.

A few years ago, Eren had achieved partial success in decrypting Lin Lehan's advanced space-element runes. This allowed him to undertake long-distance travel without relying on the kingdom's official teleportation portals.

It was thanks to these runes that Eren successfully maintained his guise as Leo while fulfilling his other duties in recent years.
