Chapter 64: His pajama looks so cool now!
Leon would never expect the dwarf to hammer some kind of coffin in the middle of the volcano.
For sure, it was a treasure that held a valuable body. He didn't doubt he'd be able to use it through his Monster Collector Class and develop it, but Leon had long since realized that this class wasn't for him.
Yes, it felt great to develop his skills alongside Louise and Celes. It also wasn't bad to use the bodies and minds of those that wanted to kill him and hurt his girls for his own needs. But Leon would gladly exchange those perks for something that would allow him to focus more on people close to his heart.
He'd rather stuff more power to Louise and Celes than control mindless bodies.
But for now, he'd use everything at hand to achieve his goals.
"If you want it, you have to seize Ender's fortress. I'll gladly exchange this hammer for that man's death!" Leon screamed through the black asura as though Ender was someone worth changing the divine weapon for.
A devastating presence.
But in reality, it was him. A man who would rather adventure with his girls and level up through tasting Louise's cooking, eating Celes' neck, and more.
He was a man that exactly wanted those perks. And it wasn't like Leon was far away from getting them. Louise already leveled up by learning from the chief. All he needed was… a different class.
A class connected to The Human Emperor, but greatly different.
"I shall await your results. Do it this night, for this man keeps getting allies."
And with those words and thoughts, Leon and his party left the volcano.
Unfortunately, Leon couldn't keep the black asura with himself.
He didn't really feel the loss.

A cold silence filled the volcano.
No one made a sound. Even the lava flowed silently.
The dwarf, Bert, couldn't stop his palpitating heart. It drummed loudly against his chest as though it would soon tear through his flesh, break his ribs, and go to the fortress.
Leon had given him a glimpse of the divine blacksmithing weapon. Even if it was not a real deal, the fact that someone knew about it and its basic description stupefied him. Only those from the royal court should be aware of the exact name and other basic stuff.
Yet, someone of a different race probably wielded that weapon and tool.
Of course, the chances were fifty-fifty, but the dwarf no longer felt like doing his task.
"Take back this coffin and return to my kingdom." Bert unfolded the scroll and made the black asura put the coffin back on it.
Half of the chains had been gone, so he'd done a considerable job already.
Another realm or volcano would finish the task in the future.
Bert then lifted his eyes and looked at the strongest black asura. "If you manage to help me get my hands on that hammer, you'll convince all dwarves to cooperate with Black Asura. Your infamous deeds won't bother even the nicest and gentlest altruistic dwarves."
Those last words convinced the black asura the most. "Wait until midnight, and we'll usher the darkness to that man's fortress."

"Winterborn?" The parrot asked after answering the dragon's sudden call.
Alexandra shook her head, still glaring at the dwarf. "No. Someone else controlled the black asura and told the dwarf to conquer the seventh fortress and kill Ender."
She felt irritated like never before, for the dwarf had stopped his job and hid the coffin in the scroll. Perhaps, her indignation was even worse than her past's fury, for she knew she would be in immense danger outside the split spirit realm.
The parrot didn't care about her feelings. He was used to her furious face.
"We can't let that coffin leave our realm… We can't lose the dwarf, either. I'll take care of the coffin and leave the rest to you, Miss Alexandra. Feel free to butcher those black asura, but keep the dwarf intact — at least don't touch his hands, okay?" The parrot jested, then flew up, preparing an army of intelligent spirit monsters.
They'd go to the second phase of their main plan and wreck chaos in their homeland!
The dragon scoffed and closed her eyes, waiting for midnight.

Unaware that he had triggered the main events in the Tehmezhya Region, Leon and his party returned safely to their safe zone. No one inside even noticed that the owner had gone outside for a short adventure.
Leon's safe zone had helped many people, and all of them could return to the Freya World with their spoils. But now that he'd invited special guests to his fortress, Leon would soon announce it and see whether at least some people answer his request to aid his forces.
Because of his class, Leon had considerable forces and traps, so he wasn't worried.
He knew he'd face the strongest enemies, and so would his partners.
But he'd gladly leave the rest to others.
Anyway, it was some time until midnight.
Leon decided to take it easy and try tailoring the class with the silk from the bug monsters.
Celes went to the experiment room.
Louise didn't mind trying out a few light cooking stuff.
Out of all the involved parties, only these three had such a unique precious mood, with all of them thinking about each other.
Everyone else grew impatient, tense, and unable to contain their killing intent. The dwarf had it the worst, for he kept pacing around the volcano, glaring at the flowing lava, and biting his lips. His bodyguards remained in the shadows, seemingly sleeping.
The same went for the dragon above them.
But as midnight approached, so did the spirit monsters from the far corners of the split spirit realm. Led by vast and tough-looking birds, the monsters teemed the skies, bulldozed the pale forest, and flowed down alongside the rivers!
And when midnight came, the dragon spread her wings wide, taking a special flying course to stop the black asura and the dwarf, aiming for the former's lives.
Scouring the skies, a small little white bird noticed the humanoid dragon. In an instant, the bird swerved and flew to his master, flapping his wings toward the snowy land.
And in the fortress that soon would become a battle zone. "Holy smokes, my pajama looks so cool right now!" A certain human added awesome stuff, such as [Ender] in an epic font, to his pajama through his tailor's class.
