Chapter 1355 Found Him
After running the Dispel rune in the Sandbox, Arthur realized his mistake. He was attempting to make Dispel stronger, but his main issue was the barrier's strange nature and structure. Therefore, all he needed to do first was to combine his rune with two others:
[Scan]
[Adjust]
[Dispel]
These three runes would work together to make Dispel better equipped to handle different barriers. It would first scan the barrier, adjust its structure, and then attack the connective points of the barrier.
Arthur could not combine them without evolving them first. He had to evolve them simultaneously to allow them to fuse with one another. His spiritual energy leaked from his body and seeped into the first rune.
The fusion proved successful in the end, but Arthur wasted another half an hour. Before he used the Dispel rune, he connected with Suyin, who was leading the Runic Dome at the moment.
"It has been a while, Suyin," said Arthur with a smile. "Ilow is your sister?"
"Still in Ilios and aiding its queen, answered Suyin. "I wanted to get in touch with you but decided against it.'
"Did something happen?" asked Arthur with a frown. Suyin sighed and began telling him about the vampire who had infiltrated the Runic Dome. At the moment, three goblins had fallen victim.
Suyin had even killed a vampire inside the dome, but it seemed there was another one that they had yet to find. Arthur understood that this was Kar's doing, but he still could not spare the time to solve the matter himself.
"I believe in you," Arthur told Suyin with a smile. "As the daughter of Morana, no one could threaten us while you are around. Take care of it and come to Kera. I will dispel the barrier in the southeastern direction. You can enter from there."
"We'll be there!" said Suyin with more vigor than before. Arthur ended the call with her before staring at the rune in his hand. He placed it on the barrier and infused it with spiritual energy.
The Dispel rune began shifting, like a jigsaw puzzle solving itself. It studied the barrier and began changing itself to act against it. Arthur watched it with awe, admiring his own work. The rune then burst and shot toward the barrier.
The strange barrier began cracking and shattered. A small hole opened, just enough for a car to enter. It was more than enough for Arthur, who walked into Kera once again. The citizens inside had no idea what was happening, but he could feel the undercurrents.
Deluge was hard at work.
The first thing that Arthur did was to teleport to the public square. He found Diana, Oriole, Julia, and Li standing together while discussing something. As soon as they noticed him, they rushed forward.
"Have you realized it too?" asked Arthur with a smile while staring at the four.
"After you disappeared, we wanted to leave Kera as well. However, every means of transportation has stopped. We tried connecting with the Runic: Dome, but nothing," Julia explained. "I can't believe that you were following us too!
"Ahem, we'll talk about that later," said Arthur with embarrassment. "Deluge and Kar are the ones

behind this. It seems they plan on using the citizens of Kera to open a gate to Devaheim!"
"And we were here just having fun while something this big was happening under our noses," said Oriole with a frown, his hands turning into fists. "What can we do?"
"First, stop blaming ourselves for not noticing. The calamities will always find new ways to endanger this world. The second step would be to find Deluge inside the city and destroy his broadcast channel. As long as we stop his hypnosis, we can save the citizens:
"How would we be able to save them?" asked Diana with a frown. "The teleportation arrays aren't working"
"I made a deal with Berilo Kingdom to handle that. For the time being, let's focus on finding Deluge before it's too late!
The five of them nodded and decided to split while maintaining contact with one another. Before they did, Diana came to talk to Arthur in private. Iler slender hands reached for his face, touching where the scars had been.
"Something changed, muttered Diana with a frown. "The scars are gone."

"I had a talk with Gaia, and we ended up agreeing that I had no choice," said Arthur with a smile as he held her hand. "We don't need to worry about anything else standing between us!"
"Promise me that you won't do anything dangerous today," said Diana, looking downward. 'I have a bad feeling about this plan of theirs. It feels... like we are supposed to find out about them."
"I know, but we have no other choice, explained Arthur with a smile. "We have to fight this battle, even if we know it can be a trap. Whatever life throws at us, we will have one another"
Diana nodded and smiled at him. Arthur kissed her forehead before hugging her tightly. Then, the two broke off their embrace before heading in different directions to find Deluge.
Arthur could use his new detection rune to find the Sin of Lust without any trouble, but he would alert him about his whereabouts. Even if he found Deluge and rushed his way, the calamity might harm the citizens before he could get there.
The five split and began searching the city of Kera. Arthur felt nostalgic as he flew over the busy streets where he once overworked himself to make a living. Things had changed now, and he kept. fighting for this city.
Throughout his time searching for Deluge or signs of him, Arthur wondered if his concern for Kera made it a target to lure him out. Every time someone tried to hurt him, they would attack Kera. It happened with his dad, the Nameless's Hybrid, and now the calamities.
After an hour of searching. Arthur found nothing. He was considering using his detect rune when his phone suddenly began ringing. IIe found that Li had sent a location in their group chat with two words underneath it:
"Found him!"
Arthur opened the location and saw that he could get there in under a minute. In the next instant, however, a strange light shot toward the sky and pierced through the clouds. The citizens stared at the lights before chaos ensued.
