After facing off against many interesting monsters, Elena came across an area in the deepest part of the danger zone which looked very suspicious. Actually most of the people would not find this area to be anything special as the suspicious thing had a very low presence. Actually if Elena was not a super powerhouse and just any regular S ranker without any specialised skill, then there was a high chance that she would not be able to detect anything here either.
Now Elena understood why no other S rankers had managed to find the source of abnormality of this danger zone. Finding this thing was truly very unlikely. Elena guessed that whatever was responsible for this abnormality was definitely related to a Demigod.
Normally in other continents, finding a demigod related thing was a once in a lifetime matter. But that was not the case for the demon continent. Obviously demigod related items were not everyday things even here, but still they were way more common in the demon Continent than anywhere else. That was the reason why Elena was not surprised with this discovery.
After searching around the area a little bit, Elena soon found a hidden mechanism. This whole place was supposed to be natural without any artificial interference but the presence of the mechanism told a different story. Elena activated the mechanism by simply pushing a button and then one of the rocks moved slightly and exposed a magic formation.
This magic formation was incomplete so Elena started to study it. It turned out that this was actually a high grade formation that could create a portal. Elena completed the formation and used the completed formation to find out the location of the portal. Then she found that the portal led to an area just below her current location. It looked like there was a small secret realm about 20 kilometers below the ground and this portal was an entrance to that secret realm.
After finding this out, Elena activated the magic formation and immediately a bluish black portal opened before her. Then Elena entered the portal without any hesitation and it also immediately closed after that.
...
After going through the portal, Elena found herself in a beautiful garden. The garden was not very large but it was very beautiful. Just looking at ten gardens one could immediately understand that this place was created with a lot of care. There were various rare fruits and flowers in the garden. A pool was also present in the middle. After checking the water of the pool, Elena found out that the water of this pool was not regular water but life spirit water full of natural mana. This was extremely valuable.
Elena started to walk around the beautiful garden. The creator of this place was definitely someone at the demigod rank and that person was most probably also amongst one of the greats of that rank. The technique used to create this place was marvelous and even Elena was impressed by it. The artificial sun and the sky was also created with a lot of care and detail.
While slowly exploring the garden, in the middle of a lot of apple like fruit trees of various kinds, Elena came across a grave. On the tombstone the name "Oliveare Dansciona" was written. Beside the tomb, there was a stone tablet with a message written on it. As this stone tablet was a magic item, a lot of information was engraved in it. After reading it Elena was able to learn about the creator of the secret realm and why this realm was created in the first place.
The creator of this realm was a famous name in the history of demon kinds. There were many demon kings and demons emperors but only a few had ever managed to become demon overlords. A Demon Overlord needed to have enough strength to be undefeated in his whole life and at the same time he also needed to have dominion over a large plot of land. Rahutiam Elmestiara was one such overlord.
When he was active in the world, that was one of the most prosperous times for the demon continent. Rahutiam had first travelled the whole world for about a thousand years, faced many difficult battles but managed to always come out on top.
Then after he ended his journey and came back to his homeland, he started a conquest with the intention of immortalising his name in the history of the continent by becoming one of the overlords. And in the current time, even small children were aware of his accomplishments and great deeds. So he definitely was very successful in that process.
According to general knowledge, the overlord had many women sleeping with him but he never had a real loner who was able to get the overlord's heart. But today Elena learnt that was actually not the case. Even the terrifying overlord had a sweetheart, whose death had saddened him so much that he basically run away from the mortal realm which was filled with her memories.
Rahutiam had entered Valhalla many many years ago. But he had managed to reach the peak of the legendary rank, level 399 way earlier than that. But he was not willing to leave his love of the life behind so he decided to stagnate his progress there and did not accept the divine trial that he needed to complete in order to reach a higher grade.
This lady who the overlord was madly in love with did not want him to stop progressing. So after seeing that as long as she was there as a burden to him, he would never be able to progress anymore.
So this lady first made Rahutiam to make a promise that he would never try to end his life and then one day secretly she passed away peacefully. Actually she was not a powerful demon so her lifespan was very limited. She would have already died if Rahutiam was not using various legendary longevity herbs and medicine to keep her alive. So as soon as she stopped taking those medicines, she breathed her last.
That lady was named Oliveare Dansciona and she was now lying in this secret realm. All the flowers and fruits planted in this garden were things that she loved. To express his love and longing for the lady, Rahutiam had actually cut half of his heart and had put it here. The sun shining brightly in the sky actually his heart shining brightly to illuminate the place where the love of his life was sleeping.
That heart was also the reason why the mana density of this area was so high. It also attracted a lot of monsters to the area because this heart belonged to a powerful overlord who had now turned into a demigod. So after reading the stone tablet, Elena had managed to solve the mystery of this danger zone.
After learning the truth, Elena smiled a little. Finding out various stories like this and getting to know people were the reason why she could never stop adventuring. Then she put the stone tablet down beside the grave and cleaned the area with her magic. That was not all. Elena spent some more time in the garden and plucked some flowers to create a bouquet. Then she left the bouquet to the gravesite and prayed that both Rahutiam and Oliveare would be able to find happiness in their current lives.
Then Elena left the secret realm with another story engraved in her mind.
