-You cannot do anything alone.

50 Geromes spoke in unison. It was so scary that all the spirits in the vicinity shook in fear.

But why? Jaehwan wasn't afraid. He wasn't afraid when Gerome destroyed the site either. He knew Gerome was strong, but that was it. Jaehwan wasn't shaken. "I'm not alone. There are people who're with me."

-PEOPLE!

All the Geromes smirked.

-And who that might be? The girl from Rupture? Or that naked Nightmare? Or…

And at that moment, a few of the Geromes disappeared and Jaehwan quickly took a few steps back to prepare. Multiple bash attacks struck him. World power exploded like fireworks and threw Jaehwan into the air.

-Or is it all the trash you left behind in ?!

Jaehwan stopped in the mid-air. Gerome scoffed.

-How funny. Do you think they still live?

Jaehwan turned serious at that moment.

"What do you mean?"

-I see you have built an empire in . And to think you used Catastrophe…

"I asked you what you meant."

50 Gerome cackled at once.

-You made a pact with Catastrophe, did you not? I believe you realize your pact has been broken.

Jaehwan did not speak for a second.

"What did you do to ?"

There was one thing he could guess. A while ago, Jaehwan tried to recover the link between him and Catastrophe after he acquired the [Eye of Geshtalt], but Catastrophe did not answer as if he had disappeared. Geromes laughed again.

-Fool! Do you think we would let those traitors live?

So the Lords attacked Catastrophe. If Catastrophe was defeated, then was done for. The forces of were no match against even few Commanders. Jaehwan knew Gerome knew this as well.

-It should be done by now. No beings will be left to live in your dream world. You will dream in your own world alone, and die.

Geromes laughed.

'I see.'

He did hear the rumors, that Rupture and the had signed a treaty. If so, there was a condition about too. They did not want to become a force, and probably decided to send their forces out there also.

Chaos would be in a devastating state by now.

-I'm sorry I can't show you the sight.

Jaehwan then realized Gerome's intention. That Lord was intent on killing Jaehwan in the most horrible way. Jaehwan looked at all 50 Geromes. Moments later, a few Geromes had weird expressions. They asked Jaehwan,

-Why are you laughing?

The Palace of Dead Men located within Fortress Carpediem of … a group of people appeared within the darkness. There were hundreds of them.

"Is it here?"

"It's been a while since I came to ."

There were two groups each with distinct world power.

"Long time no see, b.a.s.t.a.r.d Lords."

"Ah, so insects of Rupture."

Commanders from the stood on one side, and the leaders of Rupture stood on the other.

"It's only a temporary co-op."

"Bah. I will hate every second of it."

They were here to clean out . One of the Commander spoke.

"So, this is the palace of Catastrophe. It's a bit empty."

They began exploring the summoning circle to prepare themselves against an unknown threat. But there was nothing in particular.

That's when a few of the scouts screamed.

"T-there's something here!"
