The Devil's Cage Chapter 725 – Unexpected Effect
Translator: Dess Editor: EbonyFrost
The water was murmuring inside a hole in the ground. It reeked of a vile stench.
It was the breach to the sewer!
The Dandon friars who had been terrified by the series of changes finally reacted to the situation.
Sister Liz Dandon also walked over to the edge of the hole, reaching her head down for a look.
It was dark, with her less than outstanding vision, she couldn’t see what was happening down there nor could she hear any fighting down there.
The situation worried her.
“Someone get down there quickly…”
“I’m fine, sister!”
Sister Liz Dandon called out loudly to the friars unconsciously but she was interrupted by Kieran’s voice coming from below the hole.
Then, the sister saw Kieran’s figure slowly coming out from the darkness.
The “Holy Armor Spell” has vanished a while ago, now there was only [Tenacious Soft Mail] which was tagged as “Damaged”, some torn shirts on his body, and a bald sword hilt.
Everyone gasped hard when they saw the completely worn out soft mail and the sword hilt.
The Dandon friars automatically filled their own imaginations about what happened after Kieran and Harondentte fell into the sewers.
Right after that, the gazes of the friars at Kieran became more respectful.
In the eyes of the Dandon friars, Kieran had become the embodiment of the term “knight”.
Fearless against danger and fighting valiantly against evil, plus willing to help the weak!
Although the lord deacon didn’t survive in the end, everyone saw how brave Kieran was when he stood in front of the deacon before.
“I think you need to send someone down there to have a check, there are some things down there which should belong to Harondentte. I’m a little exhausted, to be honest, it would be great if there’s a place for me to rest for a while,” Kieran said to the sister.

“Of course! By the name of Her Majesty Dandon, I assure you will get the best rest you’ve ever had!” The sister nodded and said seriously.
After that, the sister proved that her words were not jokes at all.
Kieran was driven to the cathedral of Dandon in Edland City by a car that was simple yet luxurious enough.
After passing through a quiet area, Kieran arrived before a two story building.
From the looks of the outside, the building maintaineded the architectural style from a hundred years ago and yet there were several places that looked different.
It didn’t look abrupt but made the building extremely delicate.
The thin white steam-like mist came from within the building, accompanied by a slight scent of sulfur.
“What’s this?” Kieran was caught off guard.
“Lord Knight, please come with me.”
The younger sister who acted as the driver guided Kieran with a smile.
When Kieran followed the sister into the building, another wave of steam flowed towards his face.
After passing around a giant screen, a large spring with enshrouding mist appeared before Kieran.
Black rocks were surrounding the spring, preventing the clear water from overflowing.
Through the clear waters, Kieran saw there that were various sizes of rocks inside the spring as well with the faint presence of the “Bestow Spell”.
Other than that, the entire pool was absent of any traces of man-made fixtures.
“This is the only natural spring in Edland City! Since the three major wars throughout the hundred years, it has become Dandon Church’s private property. With more continuous blessings, this spring fountain has become the secret place for Dandons to heal their wounds.”
“Do you need someone to serve you?” The younger sister asked.
“No thanks! I am not that heavily wounded,” Kieran said firmly.
“This place has all sorts of supplies available but if you need anything extra, please call out for my name. The name is Grittel Dandon.”

The sister left the spring fountain after leaving her name for Kieran.
Kieran walked over to the spring, seemingly wanting to enter but actually, he went ahead and carefully checked the place to make sure there wasn’t any lurking danger.
Only then did he remove his torn shirts and entered the spring.
When the water reached Kieran’s neck as he submerged himself within, warm energies were seeping into Kieran’s body from all over.
Kieran’s sharp senses could feel that as the energy seeped into his body, the Dawn Force within his body became very active.
He wasn’t unfamiliar with the activeness though, it was the same extra effect as when he was cultivating the [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art].
Kieran then quickly adjusted his breathing and posture without further ado.
Right away, a large area of warm energy was produced from his two new hearts and quickly spread throughout this body without obstructing each other.
The feeling, however, was very unfamiliar because the spreading speed was double that of before.
Kieran wouldn’t have mistaken the spreading speed since he was very familiar with the [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art]’s operation.
Which meant…
“The cultivation of the [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] has doubled?!” Kieran opened his eyes in surprise and delight.
He never thought he would get an extra reward after regaining the [Fusion Heart], likewise, he didn’t think that both of his hearts could coexist with the help of the [Dien Stone].
One heart was deemed as a special organ by the system, the other one was a normal beating heart. Both different hearts were beating in his chest in the same rhythm in the same energetic manner.
“What is the [Dien Stone] really?” Kieran’s curiosity peaked once more but he wasn’t in a hurry this time because the books that Harondentte left behind would have recorded many details about it.
All he needed to do now was wait for the Dandon friars to bring back the books.
The secret hideout of Harondentte was also within the sewer and not far away from the collapsed ground.
“The other “me” planned to use Harondentte to capture the attention of the executioners but now Harondentte has died by my hands. Which means, “my” arrangements were foiled by my own hands.”
“Although the incident tonight will surely be kept a secret by Dandon’s best effort, still people will find out soon. After all, Dandon is still part of the Saint Relic Association and in the process of information being delivered, the news would become less secretive and more people will find out as time goes by. Then… What should I do to compensate for my flaws?”
Kieran submerged himself into the spring in deep thought. He didn’t regret getting his own heart back and if the chance was presented to him again, he would do repeat his actions once more.
It was two entirely different concepts of him having the [Fusion Heart] and him proceeding without it.
Without the [Fusion Heart], he had to worry a lot and always had his hands tied down because of of the lack of trump cards.
But with the [Fusion Heart], things were different! After regaining his ace, although there were still scruples, he wasn’t without the strength to resist it anymore!
Kieran glanced over his main mission, [Make sure your new identity is not exposed in 90 days, (Remaining days: 45)], he took in a deep breath.
His gaze was instantly sharp as knives.
There were a lot of ways to keep his new identity under wraps, the character that he was disguising hismelf as now was also one of those ways.
Given the assurance of the main mission success, he wouldn’t mind continuing to pretend but what if accidents happen?
Killing witnesses would eventually be another way.
Right at the next moment, his gaze was locked on a side of the spring fountain.
Someone was moving!

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here

The Supernormal
In a world where fantasy has become everyday, one man stands against absurdity. The local Tower stomps through the streets. Any hedge could contain a witch. Walls regularly crumble, though none more often than the fourth. In the magical city of Blackpool, all ridiculousness is possible, and it takes everything for Jack Of All Trades to survive. Badly, at that. Perpetually late with his rent, he'll take up arms for any paying customer in order to fulfill his quest. His obstacles include polka-loving ghosts, card-game playing vampires, and the most vicious monsters of all: copyright lawyers. When he's joined by an arrogant magus and an insecure vampire, his life gets even more complicated, but no matter what kind of infuriating choose-your-own-adventure he finds himself on, one constant remains—his rent is due at the end of the month. On second thoughts, maybe he should stay in bed. The Supernormal isn't your average web-novel. It's an urban fantasy parody that saunters through a world full of the absurd, delighting in poking fun at popular media, widely-accepted ideas, and often itself. Story arcs only loosely connect through the characters, who are themselves slowly fleshed out as the story continues. Think of Discworld meets The Dresden Files meets Gintama. This novel won't be for everyone, but if it is for you, you're in for a hell of a ride.
