The Thunder Emperor was sitting in his tent, studying a map of the Eastern Region of the Milton Kingdom.

In his maps, several marks indicated the strongholds of the Dark Arts Faction and other organizations unaffiliated to the faction but were hiding Arcanists who practice the Dark Arts.

He had been hired by the three cardinals of the Church of the Three Paragons to find and retrieve the Divine Sword, a legendary artifact stolen from the Church by a mysterious thief, the Masked Devil.

This Arcanist was a huge mystery for him. He knew that a powerful Arcanist like the Masked Devil had left some traces somewhere. There was no way that an Arcanist of his caliber would just suddenly appear out of nowhere.

He must be an old and rich Dark Spellcaster within the country.

"I'm not getting any progress. What's going on? Am I missing something?" He muttered while looking at the map carefully.
