The lightning elements churn and white light obstructed Red's vision as a spatial passage opened. He is filled with smiles for he knows that after a couple of months, he finally has a chance to return home.
He is melancholic as the faces of those whom he wanted to meet flashed on his mind but when he regained his vision he almost spat all of his blood.
…
Meanwhile, in the royal palace of the kingdom, Hudson was talking with a middle-aged man who was wearing a crown atop his head, along with Luna.
"When are you leaving? The meeting of the five kingdoms is about to commence," Hudson reminded the king as he sipped his tea.
"I don't know, I still have not chosen five representatives for the younger generation," he replied then added, "the youths today barely meet my standards."
"Father it's because you expect too much," Luna interjected.
The Central Kingdom is the center of the world, well, if you look at the perspective of normal folk and low-level maguses.Red and the others were brought by Benedict into one of the halls of his royal palace. Inside it, there is a young man the same age as Red. He has fine black hair and sword-like eyebrows. He also looked scholarly and gentlemanly.Benedict looked at Red and said, "this is my son, Kevin."Red nodded and, "hello, I am Red," before giving a polite bow.Kevin looked at Red and was curious why he is with the royal family of the Northern Kingdom. He gave it a thought and understood the introduction of his father.He felt a pinch in his heart.
The next day, the royal 'family' of the Northern Kingdom is in the dining hall while eating their breakfast. King Benedict was not able to join because he needed to tend to an urgent matter that recently came up. While Kevin is attending the selection for the five representatives of the younger generation of the Central Kingdom.Red did not want to join them but he was forced by Hudson.The dining hall was silent and only the sound of the eating utensils hitting each other can be heard."Can maguses manipulate blood?" Red asked all of sudden.He kinda regretted not pursuing Talia at that time. He was not sure why, but his gut feeling is telling him that there will be big trouble because of her in the future.<
"I have defeated you last time, I can defeat you again."Red waved his hand and the lighting serpent bared its crackling fangs towards them. The serpent is ten meters long and is extremely fast and agile.It dashed towards them at a great speed, which terrorized them. They furiously flapped their wings while most of them that were not fast enough turned into a blood mist and barely avoided the serpent.They tried to move out of Red's range but Red won't let them off easily. He flashed and chased after them. Red knows that this is a great time to reduce their numbers.He speculated that they must be weakened. He remembered that Hudson said that although they might be able to become otherworldly for a short moment, th
"The leaves of the king tree are scarlet just like Red's hair," Lily mumbled as she saw the tree."Senior Tree, we are being pursued. Can we hide here?" Kane asked politely to the Tree of Knowledge."Hmmm, come now, those ants won't be able to hurt you here," the tree said with a voice of mockery.Lily looked around. She was stunned by the view. She sees a lot of things atop the tree."Uncle Kane, when do you think I can see Red?"Before Kane could even answer, the voice of the Tree of Knowledge reverberated on their heads."Don't worry, you will meet again."
Red and Luna did have a few rounds on that night. Red wanted more but Luna was already at her limit so he had no choice but to hold himself.They departed the cave after they ate the rabbit that Red roasted.They were not far away from the city and arrived at the royal palace after flying for a couple of hours.Hudson and Lewis were waiting on a balcony of the palace. They searched for Red and Lily but they could not find them. All they saw was the remnants of the battle as if Red and Lily disappeared into the thin air.They did not sleep and even asked Benedict to mobilize the city task force to search for them."Uncle Lewis, we cannot find them," Kevin re
"Everyone, we will be postponing the meeting of the Five-Kingdom Alliance," Benedict announced."We know your time is precious but we should also know that the attack of the vampires is too sudden. Furthermore, they are also prepared and we are caught off guard.""Yes, we lost two oracles," the southern king agreed, "we will wait for the news regarding the heir of the oracle of Middle Earth.""I disagree, we need to take action now," the sea desert king expressed his opinion. "We don't know when they will take action again. Moreover, we also need to find out their goal."When Red heard the Sea Desert King, his heart faltered. He knew the reason for the attack of the vampires but he was afraid that maybe somehow they
Round two continued."I challenge number thirteen," the number eleven lady from the Sea Dessert challenged Red."I am Hali, let's have a good fight," she said as she slightly bowed down.Red stared at Hali for a while. She was beautiful, her face, her eyes, and her body was perfect but Red did not give it a second look. If he did not have Luna, maybe he would."I am Red," he replied in a plain voice.Surprisingly, the lady took out a staff. She never used a staff in her previous fights.Red felt flattered, but he did not say anything nor take out anything. He only has his spear in his hands.
After eating half of the king gold, Rocky went into the corner and closed his eyes.Red looked at Rocky helplessly. He kinda expected that Rocky would go into a deep sleep after he ate the king gold. Although Rocky won't be able to help him in this way, he did not mind because this is like seclusion for Rocky. When he wakes up, he will surely become more powerful.Red put him into his mana dimension and also placed the remaining king gold into the pile of ores in his other pocket dimension. Then, he went back to the royal palace and prepared himself for the first meeting of the Five-Kingdom Alliance.He took a quick bath and put on one of the suits that he bought when he was with Luna before the assassination.After
