Who hid My Corpse!

Abek felt uneasy, as if he were being watched by something dangerous.

He looked around while activating Detect Magic, but found nothing unusual.

...An illusion?

No, something's not right.

Abek, who had been resting, stood up, took out a strangely shaped Magic Wand from behind, and raised his alertness to the highest level.

Not trusting any illusion about danger, that is Abek's life creed.

More than a decade ago, Abek was an ordinary person in Boundary Land, unable to use spells or any special abilities.

In this world, he was the kind of ordinary person whose life could be predicted at a glance.

Until he accidentally obtained something that would change his life—a tooth.

To be precise, a tooth from Visas.

This immediately opened the door to a new world for him, making him a member of the Corpse Fragment Holders.

But this tooth was different from other Corpse Blocks; others provided immediate strength or rules upon acquisition, but not this tooth.

It belonged to the type that accumulates slowly over time.

The longer it accumulates, the stronger it becomes.

Its previous holder obviously didn't understand this, rashly exposed the tooth, and ultimately perished along with envious rivals before Abek's eyes; their bodies were completely burned, leaving only this indestructible tooth.

With such a precedent, Abek naturally knew what to do.

Caution, restraint.

Abek almost wanted to inscribe these two words on his forehead, implementing their meaning for over a decade.

And indeed, they helped him evade numerous crises when he was still weak. ContentsourcedfromMVLEMPYR–MyVirtualLibraryEmpire.

So even after Abek endured that period and became strong, he did not abandon this life creed. As a result, even now that he is quite powerful, few have heard his name.

And he intends to continue exercising restraint.

Until that day he was drawn into Taoyuan Village.

He was deeply shocked.

His disguise, the power he accumulated over the past decade, seemed so ridiculous under that towering ancient tree.

The fellow called "Hand Eye" could pull his consciousness and soul into that illusion with just a thought.

Such power... unreasonably powerful.

This deeply attracted Abek.

Before this, he never fantasized about obtaining other Corpse Blocks, thinking that having this one was enough; he didn't dare to desire others.

After all, contacting other Corpse Fragment Holders is inherently extremely dangerous.

But after that journey to Taoyuan Village, his thoughts changed.

He finally began to desire the power of other Corpse Blocks, wanting to gain Taoyuan Village's power by acquiring more Corpse Blocks.

After all, the Hand Eye needed only two Corpse Blocks to control Taoyuan Village; what would he obtain if he acquired more?

Abek dared not think about it because even the slightest thought in this direction made his heart pound uncontrollably, like a war drum being fiercely beaten.

...Moreover, even setting aside these desires and ambitions, the appearance of Taoyuan Village meant Abek's former survival rules no longer applied.

Because Taoyuan Village was too powerful, Abek had no doubt that his means of hiding were futile in the face of Taoyuan Village.

Would there be someone who could uncover his identity through Taoyuan Village?

No one could say for sure.

Currently, the person with the most Corpse Blocks is the Hand Eye, who needed only two to become Taoyuan Village's temporary leader.

What about three Corpse Blocks, four?

Would there eventually be a day when all Corpse Fragment Holders would have nowhere to hide before him?

That possibility is clearly there.

If such a person were to appear, Abek doubted how much deterrence the power he accumulated would have against them.

After all, everything Abek now possesses comes from this singular Corpse Block; he couldn't imagine how terrifying someone with multiple Corpse Blocks would be.

If such a time were to come, he would likely be nothing more than a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Therefore, he absolutely could not sit and wait for death.

Upon returning from Taoyuan Village, Abek understood this.

Isn't this, in a way, also a form of caution?

So Abek came here.

According to Hand Eye, the person pursued by both Rhein and the Church, who also possesses two Corpse Blocks, is on this chaotic land.

Though in Taoyuan Village, nobody could lie under its suppression, Abek still didn't fully trust Hand Eye, so after entering Wildfire, he cautiously probed the other's information. Finally, after defeating the monster that suddenly charged at him, he unexpectedly acquired the information.

The person is just ahead.

Abek lifted his head, now able to see the endless valleys in the distance.

And he knew it was the former holy land of the now nonexistent Senluo Divine Sect.

Abek didn't know much about the past matters between the Senluo Divine Sect and the current Wildfire Sect, and he didn't want to get involved before, but now he had no choice.

In front of Visas Corpse Pieces, any potential danger became irrelevant.
