“Than you ever would have been?” Mon’Ter tilted his head, questioning Leonidas’ choice of wording.
“Mm,” the man simply nodded, and Mon’Ter didn’t pry any further. It seemed like he didn’t wish to talk about that after all.
‘Sounds like there’s something a bit more complicated there, but oh well,’ he thought to himself. ‘I doubt he’d tell me about it just from me bringing it up.’
At the same time, King Elduin was still frantically looking over his daughter when the little Samuel scampered over to look at her, his eyes glimmered with worry evident from his sweating brows. “I-Is Ely okay…?”
“She’s not in any mortal threat… At the very least,” Elduin sighed, “what a foolish child, worrying me so...”
“Aydian and her were racing to the treetops…” Sammy tried to explain to the king, “I

Within no time of walking at all, Mon’Ter and Leonidas entered the nearest next memory. One taking place in a large, circular arena whose walls elevate and lead to thousands of seats for the populace to spectate from. It was no mere normal colosseum, no, in fact, it was so much more extravagant than a plain construction of marble and quartz as first meets the eye. Mon’Ter gazed up at the skies and found numerous floating structures of stone and steel, each having rods protruding on their sides, and from the looks of the furthest ones away, they also had rods atop of them too. They looked to be quite large, at least ten meters in width and fifteen in length, however as to their purpose, Mon’Ter could only guess.“What are those things up there?” he asked the elder beside him.“Hm? The sky monoliths?” Leonidas inquired with a raised brow. “They fly above the colosseum in order to ensure nothing contaminates the inside area,
Mon'Ter Chapter 158: A pleasant talk over a memory
“Hahahaha!” Leonidas’ laughter persisted into the void and its path. “Oh, the look on Ely’s face as she held her laughter back! Priceless! Priceless, I tell you! Hahaha!”“I wouldn’t say I found it all that funny…” Mon’Ter sank back a little as he mumbled.“Oh, come on lad, kids are there to poke fun at many’a times, they do funny stuff,” Leonidas cheered on.“Perhaps,” Mon’Ter said in monotone. “However, they are still my friends, and I don’t intend to make fun of them, nor do I like you laughing at them,” he spoke seriously, kind of glaring at the elderly knight.That sight piqued Leonidas’ curiosity. “My, ain’t that a strong glare you got there,” he said with a smile, “I’m glad to know a companion of my dear kids thinks fondly enough of them to be this defensive! That’s great,” his smil

“Uhm…” Mon’Ter scratched his cheek. “No, not really, no.”“Your gloves and coat,” Leonidas distanced himself, “off.”“Are we really doing this?” Mon’Ter sighed. “Look, I know how it looks but I’m-”“Drop it,” Leonidas’ voice bellowed, “I will be the judge of what or who you are.”“Alright then…” Mon’Ter narrowed his eyes in annoyance. “Just don’t do anything rash, okay?”Leonidas watched him carefully, unmoving, his palms holding the handles of his blades. With narrow eyes, he scrutinized Mon’Ter for all he was worth, without mercy, he judged and waited to judge further. But as he watched the man remove his gloves, those hands he saw, those claws and scales, they were all he needed to see.“Dragon…” Leonidas mumbled beneath his brows, which rose in a
Mon'Ter Chapter 160: Memory of their first battle's aftermath
Mon’Ter slowly pieced himself back together, slightly glaring at the old man, who still looked at him in an apologetic manner. He waited until the elder swiped the edge of his blades across the wounds he’d inflicted, annihilating the small creatures that tore away at the chimera’s skin and reducing them to none but dust particles.“Well, at least you can remove them as quick as you can place them on me,” Mon’Ter huffed in annoyance, this ability was sure to rank amongst the ones he would be hating most. After all, it completely negated his regeneration! Could he even survive if Leonidas were to cut him up like some of his other foes had in the past?“Yes... Well,” Leonidas scratched his cheek. “Sorry about your hand, might have to wait till we’re outside before we can heal that one... I’m sure it shocked George to see it fall off though! Hahaha!”“I really don’t find that funny..
Mon'Ter Chapter 161: A few realizations, and a look into the Winter Blade Tournament?
Back to the void..."That Aydian guy was up to something no good," Mon'Ter pursed his lips, annoyed at the prospect of what might have happened at that time."You think?" Leonidas grumbled his way. "That kid didn't really manage to do anything after this, he didn't find any clues on the matter at all... Which is strange considering that usually, he's pretty capable. So really, not at all sure whether he looked or not to be honest with you."Mon'Ter's eye of the gryphon shined in his left socket. "What's the chance he arranged for it himself?""What?" Leonidas widened his eyes. "You don't think he set up that traitor…?""I do, and that means... “ Mon’Ter paused. “It wasn't these orc folk you fought who tried to get to Ely," he shook his head, "her own brother, Aydian, tried to kill her," he looked at Leonidas, convinced of it. "The fact he clicked his tongue when she expressed her sense of happiness is proof enough of that.
Mon'Ter Chapter 162: Samuel VS Sereia, three years prior
And so the show would begin. The audience riled up for the two sword users, waiting for them to step up to the field and exchange blows like they had time and time again. Samuel had earned himself many'a fans during the course of this tournament, mostly girls, but also some boys? I don't know, there are those types in the world too. As for Sereia, well, it was safe to say she had too many admirers. For her performance, her beauty and her grace, it was easy to forget that the girl came from a family of mages rather than one of sword masters.The public cheered them on as they walked on in.Mon'Ter and Leonidas had already found themselves standing amongst the VIP area's nobility of that time, nearby to where Elyenora watched together with her family. The then Leonidas, her father, and Aydian too. No doubt the prince wanted to see how his opponent fought prior to their last duel that would be coming up tomorrow. The chimera made note of the fact that no one seemed cold h
Mon'Ter Chapter 163: Aftermath of their fight
None but a dozen steps further into the void, and the next memory began as suddenly as one might blink. Whether Mon’Ter and Leonidas should have been surprised or expectant of it, neither were sure, but they saw the scene build up to what it was mere hours after the previous memory of Samuel fighting against Sereia. They were in an infirmary sort of room, with many'a beds decorating it from corner to corner, each one had at least one person of nobility or common birth recuperating in them. It was full of people who'd lost past rounds in the tournament, and mainly; it was people with broken bones. No cuts or stabs were possible after all. But the impact was surely there, thus they all looked like someone had beaten them with a bat.And so, Mon'Ter and Leonidas walked towards the far end corner, where they could see a trio standing and eagerly discussing topics with the fallen knight of last round. Elyenora, her grandpa and her father, talked to Samuel about his recent de
Mon'Ter Chapter 164: Sereia VS Aydian, three years prior
On the eve of the next day, memory wise, Mon'Ter and Leonidas arrived amongst the VIP area for spectating once again. They were, of course, not alone. There were even more nobles today than there were in the prior memory of yesterday. And as for the spectator seats, well, they were so packed that you could even spot people standing upright here and there. "This is crazy!" Mon'Ter wowed as he gazed at all the people below him. "I thought that before there were a lot but... Now... I can feel that there's well over fifty thousand people watching!” He paused for a few moments. “Yeah! There's like fifty two thousand, seven hundred ninety three of them!" Mon’Ter proclaimed with absolute certainty, simply from taking a moment to size them all up. "How do you get that exact number?" Leonidas raised a brow his way, his crossed arms suddenly fell as his shock began to set in. "You just took a look at them... What?!" bewildered, Leonidas began making numerous random hand gestur

Chapter 205: Samuel and Sereia finally stand back up on their own.
Just as Mon’Ter was busy rotting on the inside, Samuel and Sereia were finally able to get back on their feet. Samuel could now see properly and move around, and Sereia had drunk a high grade healing potion that brought her back up to speed. “Agh… My back was killing me there…” Sereia said as she stretched, trying to get herself back into shape. “Do I even need to mention my head…?” Samuel held it, he still felt like it would start spinning again but thankfully it was over. “We really need to go and help Mon’Ter out,” Sereia mumbled out loud. “It seems like he got two of them but he’s facing that guy that my dad said was the best assassin in the world…” Still, they were a bit far away from the chimera and couldn’t assist him right away, especially since Mon’Ter’s fear came true. “It seems like we have our own troubles to deal with first…” Samuel pointed out as he gazed at the sky above them. “Huh? That guy again?” Sereia said in annoya

Chapter 204: Mon'Ter versus the World's three Best Assassins
As Mon’Ter stood in a confrontation between himself and the three assassins, Sereia and Samuel did their best to catch their bearings and get to assisting him rather than being a burden for him. Thankfully, Samuel had some recovery potions on him, but due to his issue with coordination caused by Hendrick’s eye ability, he couldn’t move his arms in the right direction much less find where he’d stored the bottles.And as for Sereia, she actually did try to get to Samuel and find the potions for him, but, given how wounded her back really was she was having some difficulty pushing herself to stand back up and move towards his bag. Of course, this would only take her seconds to do in real time, maybe ten or twenty, but in the moments of combat those seconds would be more than enough for her and him to lose their lives at once many times over.They were dealing with assassins after all, and while these assassins were definitely slowed down from the g

Chapter 203: Mon'Ter back in action
Just as Elyenora was dealing with Alinesia with the help of Randus’ Gravity Zone spell, so were Sereia and Samuel working on using the spell to their advantage too. Seeing as they were able to outmaneuver their respective match ups and bring down two specters, they had now managed to get away from the other two old men who’d targeted them and made their way towards where Mon’Ter was being held down by Alinesia’s parents.That, of course, didn’t take long at all with the help of Samuel’s teleportation magic.Sereia quickly landed right over the female assassin with super long nails, Allison, while Samuel waltzed right into her husband, Hendrick, and swung straight at his arms that were holding Mon’Ter’s head up close to his eye level.On Sereia’s end, things were quickly and easily dispatched. Having had the jump on the opponent she was able to instantly get Allison to dodge her first blow and leave Mon’

Chapter 202: Randus' Gravity Zone
With Alinesia’s light blinding everyone, Randus was able to easily move about by practicing a simple spell to allow his eyes to perceive past the blinding shine of her. He had basically created pseudo shades on his face which he used to escape from Lerroy’s immediate reach.During the course of the battle so far, the two of them had been flying high up in the air and blasting each other with all manner of magical spells, it had gotten to the point that most of the soldiers down below were getting nervous just by standing underneath them. However, Randus hadn’t just been mindlessly flying about and chucking explosions at his old master, no, of course not, he wouldn’t be where he is at today if he did something so basic.The whole time they were moving around the air space, Randus had been leaving small sigils in specific locations high above the ground and laying out a layer filled circle of magic large enough to encompass most of the existing su

Chapter 201: Samuel and Sereia's side of the battle
Alinesia had completed her transformation, however, she wasn’t the only one making moves during that last minute of action. There were still many people on the battlefield, and the ones who made the biggest change aside from her, were definitely Randus, Samuel and Sereia who all made good use of the previous minute or so of time.On their side of the field, just as Elyenora and Alinesia were having their clash of wills, Samuel and Sereia both found themselves pushing against their respective spectral opponents. It had gotten to the point where they were chasing after these Low ranking Arch Lord Class entities as if they were hunting rabbits.It was at this time that both Gandar, the court mage of the Royal palace and the elderly master of the assassin’s guild intervened on their little chase. Gandar shot through the sky atop a conjuration of wind and flew near enough to be within his range of Samuel, he weaved his staff and made a spiraling motion with it b

Chapter 200: A back and forth between two female warriors
Back to the princess’ side of the field, where she was facing off against a previous foe. Elyenora could feel that things weren’t going her way at all, she knew it in her heart with every strike she sent towards Alinesia and every second she wasted on fighting against her. But what could she do while everyone was being held back like this? There was one and only thing she could really do to try and help out.Ending the fight swiftly.Alinesia had certainly grown significantly since their last fight, she was more than the princess’ match even after Elyenora had gotten her significant growth spurt after releasing the spiritual cultivation shard from her body. However, it didn’t seem like the Lioness would be able to keep up with Elyenora if she just made a simple action and unleashed her newly acquired artifacts.“I’m sorry, but I’ll be ending our little rematch early,” the princess said as she pushed back on the fla

Chapter 199: For how long with the balance of the two forces stay?
Cazimir fell, cut in half and in a completely stupefied state. Someone meant to have been on his side, an ally, had just taken him down. His bloodied eyes shone with a bright light and created shadow soldiers that tried to hold him back together, barely, even as his own blood and organs left his body to splatter down on the ground. “W–wh–y…?” Cazimir asked as only one of his eyes barely managed to move and look at Finn. “Because you interfered where it was not your place, stupid assassin,” Finn said, his eyes wider than an open door and staring the vampire down with intense pressure behind his every word. “Couldn’t you follow simple instructions? I told you. Don’t interfere with my fight. Leonidas is mine to do battle with.” “Bast–ard…” Cazimir barely mumbled out, and with another glow of his eyes he forced the soldiers to move him about ten meters away from the now enemy. With yet another glow, he summoned out a potion that fell from a litt

Chapter 198: Mayhem on the Battlefield
Alinesia glared at Elyenora with her fiery blade burning at her side. “It’s sure been a while, hasn’t it?”“You again?!” Elyenora clicked her tongue, she had been forced to stop right in her tracks by her once again, for the second time. “Why are you here!?”“Why?” Alinesia grit her teeth. “Did you seriously ask me why, you blond bimbo?!”“What?” The princess felt a little taken aback by the assassin’s words. “Don’t you understand what you’re working towards right now? Do you even know what my brother is trying to do!? It’s all foolish! Why would you work for him? You’re smarter than that!” Elyenora tried to change her mind if she could, though, it didn’t seem like Alinesia was here for money or anything of the sort by the look on her face.“You think I’m here just because that prince twat brother of yours asked t

Chapter 197: The Battle for the Throne begins
“We kill all of them to get to him,” Mon’Ter’s voice reverberated throughout the entire space, being heard by everyone that surrounder him and his comrades.It caused several laughs to erupt, which then continued into multiple more and more until the entire enemy legion made a laughing stock out of Mon’Ter’s words.“Bold words from someone bound to die,” Gandar, the royal court mage, snickered at his words. “Who even are you, boy? Another knight? Not with that get up you’re not. Perhaps a mage? Shall I teach you some proper manners in speech?”“I’d actually like that,” Mon’Ter said truthfully. “But it’s not the time to be learning manners.”His hand extended and his fingers grew as his nails elongated into sharp swords capable of piercing the thickest of hides and slashing the hardest of steels. The strange development caused many to put their guard
