Balton was excited when he saw all the three Greats entering the battlefield because he thought that Shin wouldn't be able to beat them as they were super strong!

While he awaited the result, he suddenly saw a white-coloured dome entirely made of mana covering the view of the battle. He just anticipated the dome to disappear. He expected to see Shin's dead body and the three Greats standing victorious but no, he was strong dead wrong.

Once the dome did disappear, he saw Shin standing while two great warriors out of three were almost burnt to a crisp.

Shin's look was completely different. Shin had complete abyssal black fur which would completely absorb any form of light. This was the scene prior, but now Shin had bright orange-coloured fur. His eyes were Crimson Red. All four paws and his forehead were covered in flames. He looked like an Emperor who dominate over flames.

Looking at the two great warriors, Balton started to shiver. He wrapped his arms around his body as he shivered uncontrollably.

He still remembered his and Shin's first meeting. That day still haunted him even in his dreams.

His eyes then paused on Kelton, the eighth circle magician and some hope was ignited in his heart. But soon something happened that confused him. Shin and Kelton started talking with each other. He couldn't hear them since he was afar but that didn't stop him from watching both of them.

"Kelton, as I mentioned earlier, I still don't trust you.."

"So, you will be staying at Loria, and not in the forest.", Shin said.

"Yes master, I understand."

"I will finish my business in the kingdom and depart right away towards Loria.", Kelton said.

"Yea, be quick," Shin said and started to walk away from there.

This confused Balton even more. As mentioned, he couldn't listen to what Kelton and Shin spoke with each other but he knew one thing for sure it was up to no good.

Kelton then looked at the kingdom's walls seconds after which he used a flight spell. His body started levitating in the air and then he flew past the walls, heading towards the gigantic castle in the capital city.

"Sir Kelton!!", Balton screamed but was ignored by Kelton who was flying towards the castle at a very terrifying speed. He probably didn't even hear Balton's call.

Kelton covered his body with flames to increase his speed. Soon he reached the topmost ceiling of the castle. His body broke through the roof of the castle and he landed on the floor causing shockwaves to spread throughout the floor. Surprisingly enough, Kelton reached the castle within a minute or two despite the total distance being greater than fifty kilometres.

Prior to this, when Levos had asked him to take care of Shin, it took him longer to reach the outer walls – without a doubt, Kelton didn't use his full strength earlier as he didn't care much about Levos' orders. But Shin was different. If he didn't take Shin seriously, he wouldn't have blasted all the way to the castle so quickly!

"Wha-", Levos was left speechless when the ceiling suddenly broke.

Although he was sitting in the throne room which was on the third floor, there were still two more storeys above. Kelton literally broke through all the walls from the fifth floor to the third!

"Kelton!?"

The clouds of dust settled down and he found Kelton standing in front of him.historical

The ceiling was destroyed and as he looked through it, he found similar holes on the other two top floors.

"What is the matter?"

"Why did you burst open the ceiling instead of coming through the doors?" Levos asked, trying to maintain a dominant position while thinking that Kelton will bow in front of him but instead, Kelton stood like a statue. Levos' eyes and lips twitched but he didn't say anything.

"So.. Did you kill tha-"

"I am serving a new master from now on," Kelton said stopping the king in mid-sentence. Levos looked confused for a second as he processed what Kelton said. His face went pale.

"Kel-ton.. What are you talking about..?"

"As I said, I will be serving a new master, Master Shin.", Kelton said as he closed his eyes for a second.

Levos knew Shin's name as he had watched the Clan Wars, so there was no way that he was getting it wrong.

The chances of anyone else having the same name are none!

So, when he heard this, it was as if the ground under his legs disappeared.

"This.. This must be a joke, right?", Levos asked as his arms trembled.

"I have said what I wanted to say and I mean it." Kelton's emotionless voice echoed in the king's ears.

Kelton then turned his back and started to walk towards the exit.

"Kelton.."

"Wait..", Levos murmured as he stretched his right hand.

Seeing Kelton turn his back on him, he got infuriated as well.

"Kelton you bastard!", Levos screamed as he jumped from his seat and started to run towards Kelton.

However, Kelton had no plans of waiting anymore. He just wanted to go to Shin's side and didn't want to waste any more time.

"Guards stop him!" Levos ordered the guards.

The guards, who were bewildered due to Kelton's sudden and explosive entry, pulled themselves together and rushed right in front of the door, trying to prevent Kelton from leaving.

Kelton showed no mercy. He used one of his spells. that enabled him to control gravity, on the soldiers.

In a matter of seconds, not only did the soldiers' bones got crushed, but they themselves were sent down to the ground with the floor cracking prior to that.

"KELTON!"

Just as Kelton thought that he had eliminated the obstacles and was about to fly away, he heard the king shout while running towards him.

Kelton turned back only to find the king just a metres away from him, pulling his hand backwards and throwing a punch at him.
