"It unlocked the Warlock Path, and it became a Pentagram. I think my Demonic Powers have something to do with its current mutation." I explained.

"Amusing…" Said Hendrick. "Does this mean you can make a pact with the Outer Ones?"

"The Outer Ones…" I sighed. "I guess so, but I don't want to talk with those creeps. Last time I tried to make a pact with one of them, they asked me to sacrifice ten innocent children not older than one year of age. Sometimes they're worse than demons."

"What are Outer Ones?" Asked Saphira innocently.

"I have never heard of such titles before…" Eriant said.

"Oh, well, to sum it up. Outer Ones are powerful entities that live outside the Universe, in an area that I only known as "The Endless Void", they're entities that were born out of primary concepts and primordial chaos." I answered. freewebno vel.com

"Some call them "Shadows of God" as they were born almost at the same time as this Primordial Creator, unlike Lucifer who isn't the God's shadow, but his son that betrayed him and created the Demons, the Outer Gods could be said to be the true opposites of [God]." Hendrick explained. "They're very interesting beings! I used to be a warlock and made a pact with some of them! But I destroyed the pacts once I became my lord's servant."

"However, they usually don't intervene, and if they act, they're cryptic and mysterious, seeking bloodshed, chaos, and destruction…" I explained. "They're unfathomable entities, probably stronger than Lucifer and all the archdemons at their peak combined. Beings you don't mess around with."

"T-That strong?!" Eriant asked. "I'm guessing they're limited in what they can do?"

"Yeah, unlike Demons that can conquer any planet they want as long as they summon their forces, Outer Ones are banned from entering the Universe. Their existence could easily destroy the pillars of our Universe and make it collapse. [God] wouldn't allow such a thing to happen to his precious creation." I laughed. "They can only influence this Universe through Warlocks."

"Warlocks…?" Wondered Woo. "Who are those guys anyways?"

"Warlocks draw power from creating contracts with such entities, becoming their slaves and vessels, pretty much." I answered. "They're a special branch of magicians that serve them. Very dangerous. They spread their insanity and doctrines and create dangerous Cults around the Universe. I have destroyed many of such cults."

"How ironic that your magic circle mutated into a Warlock one, my lord. Hohoho!" Celestina laughed slightly teasingly.

"Yeah, I suppose I could change it or modify it to turn it into another Path…" I said.

Paths are special Abilities that Magic Circles manifest within their inner circles. It is a special talent or power bestowed to magicians that have attained Tier 5 and above.

A Path is given every 5 Tiers… But it was also possible to steal Paths from other magicians to enhance your own Magic Circle.

However, in this world where people don't seem to develop them, it is hard to find them, so I've had to strengthen my Magic Circle in the old fashioned way.

"Though, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try?" Hendrick wondered.

"Hendrick…" I sighed. "Are you telling me that you still have some connections with them?"

"Huh? Of course not, master." Hendrick felt offended by my words. "You can see my entire soul wherever you want to! I would never dare continue following them after I've declared you're my eternal master."

"Hmph, fine…" I had already checked his soul several times, he was clean. "I suppose I owe you an apology, I don't really like them. Relying on their power would be the worst thing I could do. So I'll leave it be for now… But maybe I could channel the power of the Holy Spirits, they're technically divine beings similar to Outer Ones or [God]…"

"Oh, that also could work!" Said Hendrick. "Well, maybe…"

"For now, however, I'm done. I'll rest and meditate. I need to get my Soul Domain ready." I yawned. "Even when we'll move back to my hometown, there's a threat I want to get rid of."

"A threat?" Eleanora wondered. "What could it be?"

"Don't you remember? The one thing that is stopping our Duchy from regaining their former glory, and one of the reasons why the Cultists were trying to destroy our hometown so badly…" I said. "It wasn't just because of me, they were obviously cooperating with the other nobles, aiming for the Mithril Mines." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝓫𝒏𝙤𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

"The Mithril Mines… Oh right! The ones with the White Dragon right in the mountains behind your village! How could I forget that?" Eleanora realized. "You mean… You want to slay that dragon?"

"Wasn't that dragon S Rank?" Hendrick asked.

"Yeah, it would be my perfect measure gauge to see if I can reach the power of an S Rank Monster…" I said while glancing at my hands. "Of course, I'll do it much later, maybe one or two weeks later, I won't do it right away. But that's a little task that I want to do right away, so the duchy can get to the Mithril Mines and improve their economy. We can't let that damned woman of Sathan to slowly ruin our hometown."

Defeating the White Dragon was a must. It wasn't an intelligent dragon, but a powerful mutated dragon monster that had once escaped a dungeon, according to what I've heard.

It is mostly peaceful on its own, but it won't let humans close to the mines, as it would incinerate them and eat them before they could even step into the Mithril Mines.

I have an idea that such a creature was lured there by the cultists themselves, so the Duchy was forced to stop mining and since then, their economy has declined.

Because of this, they have been relying heavily on agriculture, the reason why my village was so exploited until all those incidents, which changed my village happened.

Now my village is recognized widely as a sanctuary of spirit trees, and it is a safe area where demons can't step into due to the natural Spiritual Domain the Trees created with Erika's assistance.

And it is finally time to reclaim our Mithril Mines too.
