Underground Civilization

**Underground Civilization** is the tentative name of the civilization that fell first in the Battle of Divine Will.

## Background

Long gone civilization used to be very advanced in magic and much more than others. They were wiped out and lost their fragment of Divine Will. They tried to get witches of the past to reach their ruins in hopes of getting Instrument of Divine Retribution and beating Demons. Ruins of their civilization are in Kingdom of Dawn while they could had been found all over Land of Dawn.

They were also portrayed in one of the four pictures in Divine Land but their picture is black without anything on it due to losing their fragment and battle. Their civilization was observable in the picture before the first battle of Divine Will 800 years ago.

## History

They left their mark on over half of the continent. If it was said that Demons occupied the **Blackstone domain**, while humans occupied the **Land of Dawn** and the second civilization occupied the **Sky-sea Realm**, then the third civilization would be the owner of the underground world. They were like earthworms, their bodies were extremely weak but they had a unique knack for magic power.

Unfortunately, they had bad luck and touched something they shouldn't have touched. When they were burrowing tunnels all over the
mountains, they encountered a fissure in the stratum which penetrated directly from the **Blackstone region** to the **Sky-sea Realm**. they inadvertently broke through the barrier that separated their den from the Sky-sea Realm. The latter took advantage of this and invaded the Blackstone region, slaughtering numerous and making them suffer one defeat after another.

The King of Demons, who at the time had not upgraded yet, led a party and did a pincer attack from behind on the second civilization who were escaping among the chaos. At the same time, the King blocked the **Ghost Ravine**.

The Ghost Ravine was located between two mountain peaks, it was about half the size of the Fertile Plains, and on the two sides ran a thousand-mile underground river and staggered ground. The bottom of the ravine was so varied that one moment it was an underground cavern and the next it was an open hill. As much as the earthworms were good at burrowing, they couldn't hide their tracks completely.

This war lasted almost ten years, the number of Primal Demons that perished in this war was more than in the first Battle of Divine Will under the hands of humans. The outcome in the end was that both the **King** and the **Sky-sea Realm** received a part of the legacy shard.

The **King** placed the shard he acquired together with the legacy shard of the Demons, and the two combined into one—in that moment, they took over everything they once had: language, wisdom, magical skill... even life.

The surviving earthworms wilted away and died.

After this civilization went extinct, aside from the aquired knowledge from the legacy shard, they also left behind some preserved Devouring Worms and Original Carriers, along with a Central Carrier and a magic core, which the Taquila Witches used in order to remain alive and eventualy fight against the Demons.
