BXBX NOVEL Chapter 162 Plans
Chapter 162: Plans
Leon didn't have any difficulties finding a job in dwarven's smithy.
He had been marked by outside forces as someone powerful, came here with his family, and genuinely worked under dwarven's orders, absorbing their knowledge and experience. Dwarves still doubted his origins, but Leon became engrossed in his skills and couldn't care about them.
When he returned home, Leon's future wives pampered him and helped him relax after work.
"You should come to my work tomorrow."
Those words surprised his beloveds as they thought that the dwarves grew too suspicious of him.
Leon shook his head. "It's someone else."

Celes, Louise, and Alexandra left their current dwelling in the dwarven kingdom.
Louise didn't like coming outside to see so many dwarves, but her man told her about someone interesting and needed her presence, just like the vampiress and the dragon maid.
Going through the streets, everyone wondered who it could be.
At last, Leon's beloveds noticed him standing not too far away from his current workplace. Leon wasn't alone and had two shocking presences on his right side.
One of them was a man in black leather clothes and white hair. He appeared sick as his skin was too pale, even for vampires' standards. His golden eyes shone with mysterious black flickers, which were snakes circling in his hues.
On his right, the man had another man whose hair was blue and long. He had more healthy skin and an emotionless expression — he seemed so fake that Leon's women grew suspicious about them.
Leon smiled at his family, then wheeled to the man. "At this point, I guess we don't have to hide anything."
The Death Lord nodded, smiling.
He had noticed Leon on one of his walks and instantly realized that this man's identity was similar to his. In his eyes, Leon was one of the five humans with peak humanity bodies. He found it funny how both of them ended up in this place.
"I don't understand why you're trying to work with dwarves instead of forcing them to work for you." The Death Lord crossed his arms and leaned on the building.
Leon shook his head. "I'm just a man with a little family. I don't have an army like you."
The Death Lord narrowed his eyes. "Sounds impossible."
Leon grinned and waved his hand, recalling words of the black spirit, which said that people with peak humanity bodies ruled masses and conquered worlds with thousands of people under their banner. "I've cut my connection and become an existence separated from that fate."
The man with blue hair gasped. "Impossible!"
His master raised his hand and stopped the black skeleton in disguise from making noises. "I'll drown this kingdom in mayhem and take back what's mine."
Leon and his women's hearts trembled from those words.
It was because the man's voice was so confident, and he exerted pressure to make his words a certainty. Leon also knew that The Death Lord had one of the divine powers, but he didn't know he was 'The Death Lord' yet.
The Death Lord continued. "This place has defeated life and death eons ago. I grasped death at that time. If you're looking out for a power related to death, then we're enemies."
"I'm not." Leon replied curtly.
The man smiled. "Then I'll let you freely move during my death carnival. Use that as a chance to get what you want and leave. I won't let anyone like you casually live in my kingdom. Keep that in mind."
Leon and his beloveds could only watch the man's smiling face, then his back, as he turned around and went to his inn.

"The Death Lord." Leon sighed. "He was for sure that existence… So he came out… If he did, others should also be free from the fate shackles… This is getting bad… We must level up."
Leon didn't worry about his stats since he had too many of them, but he was concerned about his beloveds and their fates. Louise had a lot of raw strength within herself, waiting to get unlocked. And Celes also had her legendary quest! Alexandra also should be able to become much stronger with level up!
Leon hated the fact that his slow life was about to go through a huge turnaround, but that was important.
Celes shared her views. "If he will start mayhem, we can level up on dwarves. Without a doubt, he'll invade the royalties, so we can follow his wake, enter the royal castle, and snatch the flames. This will unlock Louise's memories. But before she unlocks them, we should level up on the dwarves."
Her eyes flashed with cold glitter.
Louise felt like she was on the same wave as this vampiress, looked at her with a pleasant smile, then wheeled to her beloved, nodding.
Alexandra remained silent.
Leon looked into her eyes, then nodded, too. "We need to keep a few royal dwarves alive and bring them to Heaven Library Guild. Their knowledge and skills are precious. As for the rest, we'll kill."
The dwarves of the past didn't have problems killing scarlet foxes en masse, so Leon turned his heart cold and became the same. He also wanted his adorable fox's coldness to impact his heart and lessen her burden, so Leon did that exactly and put his hand on Louise's forehead.
Though it was impossible for that coldness to enter his heart, Leon's gesture warmed Louise. Her eyes melted.
Celes smiled at them and continued. "If five of them came out, then it means that the space successor has come to this world. He might have made contact with the people you've slaughtered, Leon."
Leon gravely nodded.
Celes chuckled. "Unless five of them team up to conquer the world, the world will continue to exist. I think it's highly unlikely for the five divine successors to become allies, though. The Human Emperor has a lot of unfinished business, and the rest has been forcefully shackled. They come from different eras."
Louise chimed in. "It means that the world will be the same, but with many wars happening around us. Your business, the potions and mecha arm, might save a lot of people. It's the perfect scenario for us."
Leon didn't know what to think about it, so he simply nodded and glanced outside the window.
The Underground Kingdom lived its own life…
No one wanted to cause problems, for dwarves were too precious…
Yet, one person was waiting for his guild to arrive in this place.
