Chapter 502: 498 Enter The Lucky Door

The team of Nightwing had secretly entered the tower through spatial magic.

Nightwing had searched for the darkest areas of the tower. With the power of Kyriachos, he could seek out the most isolated darkness in any space. And when he found the spot, he used the separated darkness to peer into it.

The portal was not large. It was only as large as a person's head. But it was enough.

Angelian's head peered out of the portal.

She closed her eyes and used her dragonic scent to scout.

"It's clear," Angelian spoke.

The portal grew large, and she stepped out.

The others began to move.

Ikarod, Arnold, Kilian, Krysta, Luigi the Slime, and a many-headed lizardman moved out of the portal.

"Is it this simple? We walk in this tower somehow?" Krysta asked.

"Master... This seems too good to be true!" Finally, Reginald, the Hydra, spoke. He had assumed a smaller form that allowed him to infiltrate the team.

"That's right! We shouldn't underestimate it! Jiraya infiltrated a tower, and look what happened to him?"

"Whose...? Never mind. Cornerstone. What do you think?" Arnold asked Nightwing.

"I'm not sure. There were... hindrances!" Nightwing frowned.

"It's luck. The powers of luck are working against us. Trust me. I nearly died fighting luck! Thank the heavens. It's on our side now." Kilian answered.

Nightwing was quiet as he had minions of Destiny with him. So be he could not understand the luck he had.

"Why? Why would luck choose to help us? The reasonable explanation is that Fate succeeded in landing a curse on Destiny... But a curse? Foresight and Challenger could easily outdo it. So why is this curse affecting him? He will not be allowed to soar and grow stronger, and his strength will be limited!" Nightwing began to ponder on the mystery.

"Does luck make things... this easy?" Nightwing asked.

"There was a situation like that... But now that I think about it, it only happened once in my battles with him that he got so lucky! He was never that lucky after. This does seem a little strange. The luck that I fought against wasn't this convenient. Could it be? Beginners luck?" Kilian pondered.

"No. I don't think beginner's luck applies here. Keep your guard up. There might be something that may happen here. It could be a trap!"

The group began to move quietly up the tower.

The area where they emerged was on the underground floors of the tower where supplies were set.

But there was nothing in the kingdom's vaults interested them, and the group moved up quietly.

Unknown to the group, strange magic was at work.

At the center of the tower was a massive detection device. When word of an Incubus was present in the Planesworld, the Eldrich knew that any infiltration made inside their forts would be deadly.

So the Blessing of the son of Tyrannos, the first son to change, was in place.

The Corruption Allaso, the Altering Fallen, was set within the tower.

While the person wielding this power only had a small droplet, the person could detect any changes that occurred within a certain range.

As such, the moment the portal opened, and when Angelian took a peek, the sentry guard had already detected Angelian.

Seven Cardinals were present as they were not allowed to join the expedition. They all waited in the room, praying that someone would dare appear.

The Cardinals had been very frustrated these past few days. They were strong. Even stronger than many Cardinals. But they were not assigned to war. They had been looking for opportunities to showcase their might and power.

But on the first major incursion with a powerful enemy, they were not sent out but ordered to stay.

But then, the Cardinal wielding the power of Allaso stood up!

"Amazing...!"

"Intruder?" One Cardinal asked.

"Yes! Lord Breveros was right!" The Cardinal sneered.

"Hmph! What plan! Let's go!"

"Inform Lord Breveros! We will deal with the pest! The power of Allaso is within this tower! We can toy with them even if they are Crowns!" One of the Cardinals laughed as they moved towards the area and prepared the stage.

Breveros continued to sit at the tower's peak and was alerted of the trespassers.

"Oh? I was right!" Breveros smiled as he heard the report.

"I can't stay unlucky forever! Through bad luck, I could never rise and even challenge my brother's future! With such a sad Destiny, I could only lower my head and never have the rise my brother had. I was so unlucky that I couldn't even fight or plot against my brother! But it seems my intelligence is now enough to fight this foe!" Breveros laughed.

"Lord Breveros... What shall we do?"

"Send them high up close to me! I'll toy with them! Then, all of you, be in a position to fight! Use the energy conversion circle to wield the power of Allaso and cast [Ever Changing Illusion]! Separate the team and start by killing the weak ones!" Breveros ordered.

"Yes! Lord Breveros!"

"Recall all guards. Let's not shed unnecessary blood. They will fall for our trap!"

Nightwing and his team were walking to a point where they lowered their guard. For some reason, no guards barred their way.

At some point, Luigi became chatty and bored from the lack of conflict.

"This is boring." Luigi sighed.

"For a Time God, you should have more patience. Aren't you a being that stood before time?" Nightwing shook his head.

Many were still amazed at this news. Many had very poor views of Luigi when they met him.

"Well, it's your fault, master! Honestly... making me forget who I am. And to think I'm married!"

"I still can't believe that the Goddess fell for you." Krysta shook her head.

FLASH!

Suddenly, a bright light appeared, and the area around them changed!

From the rocky tower, the area became endless grasslands. Then it became the deep darkness of the sea. Then an endless blue sky.

The changing landscape and space confused their senses, and everyone began to feel confused.

Angelian's dragonic powers were revealed as she managed to resist the magic.

Nightwing was also undisturbed, but Reginald was so affected by the sensation of being whirled around like a stone attached to a string that he bumped into Nightwing, and the two stumbled.

Breveros watched the scene and smiled.

"My guest! How good of you to join me! It's almost time for dinner! I can't wait to eat you!" Breveros laughed.

Suddenly, six doors appeared before them. But, as the changing world kept spinning, the doors remained static.

"Six doors for six people and their pet slime. How eccentric for someone that follows the bloodline of such foul beings!" Breveros laughed.

Nightwing glanced around and saw the six doors. He then turned to Angelian and whispered.

"Angelian. Guard everyone. I'll go ahead." Nightwing answered.

He could not see through the changing place. He knew that with such a grand illusion, even those who were Conquerors would be affected!

Nightwing moved and took the risk and moved towards the door.

As he moved, Breveros chuckled as he laughed at the pawn being sent.

"Fools... Ever since I learned that Cracky Batcheeks was an Incubus, I feared that luck would play a cruel trick on me! So I schemed and schemed and studied every possibility so that Luck would not beat me! And now, the powers of Allaso that created the illusion are a trick. Six doors to trick people into moving to different areas. In reality, there is one room. And that man will fight all my Seven Cardinals together!" Breveros laughed.

Nightwing glanced at the doors and sighed.

"This magic is too powerful. I can't tell if this is real or an illusion!"

"Young man! Do not be afraid! A minion should dive in without hesitation!" Breveros's voice called out.

"Minion?" Nightwing frowned and scratched his head.

"Hm... I get it. When the magic appeared, Angelian resisted it and remained standing. But Reginald bumped me, so we stumbled together. I guess that made me look weak. And then, when the doors appeared, I whispered to Angelian to take command. I guess he thought that Angelian was ordering me... Huh. Is it luck? Is this trap still part of luck?" Nightwing pondered.

"Better play along..." Nightwing decided.

"You think you can beat my master?!" Nightwing shouted.

"You fool! Don't think I have not heard of your master's exploits in the Lowlands! Don't think I don't know how he used Succubi to control those two kingdoms in the Lowlands! I know all about your master! And even if he sent his strongest allies here, you would all fall! I have made great preparations to counter your plot! So go! Pick a door! Pick any door! Pray that you will select the lucky door!"

The wisdom of Nightwing began to churn as he started to understand what Breveros's plan was.

"...You gotta be kidding me! How unlucky is this guy?!" Nightwing thought to himself and even began to pity the man.
