The dust slowly settled, revealing Hendrik standing tall, his body enveloped in a radiant melodic glow. Floating musical symbols shimmered around him, exuding an extraordinary aura. King Skarvlad rose from his throne, his eyes widening in astonishment at Hendrik's power.

"Could he be a hero from another world?" the King murmured, his voice loud enough for the nearby advisors to hear.

One of the advisors stepped forward, concern etched on his face. "Your Majesty, several nations have already fallen under the control of such heroes. If he harbors the same intentions, we face a grave threat."

The King pondered for a moment before raising his hand. "He is different. I believe we can turn him into a weapon against those fallen heroes. We must keep a close watch on him."

In the arena, Hendrik dashed forward at an unnatural speed, targeting the archer. However, the tank reacted swiftly, intercepting with his massive shield.

"How annoying!" Hendrik muttered, leaping back to reassess his strategy.

The archer seized the opportunity, jumping into the air and firing precise magical arrows. "You just keep getting up, foreigner!" he spat in frustration.

Hendrik maneuvered deftly, dodging the rain of arrows. Yet before he could counterattack, the swordsman lunged at him with lightning-fast strikes, his twin lightning blades aiming to cut Hendrik down from multiple angles.

Clang! Clang!

Hendrik swiftly conjured a sword from his melodic energy, skillfully parrying the rapid blows. The clash of thunder and melody echoed across the arena, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Suddenly, the tank and archer launched a synchronized assault. The tank charged at full force while the archer unleashed a gust of wind-infused arrows from afar. Hendrik stood motionless, closing his eyes as he gathered his melodic energy.

"Enough!" he roared, unleashing a massive wave of melodic energy.

The shockwave sent The Ranger team flying. The tank crashed against the arena wall, the archer tumbled to the ground, struggling to stand. The swordsman attempted another strike, but Hendrik caught his blade mid-air, twisted his body, and hurled him toward the wall.

Thud!

The swordsman collapsed, unconscious.

The archer, now trembling with fear, nocked one final arrow at Hendrik. But before he could release it, Hendrik effortlessly dodged and closed the distance. The tank, recovering slightly, attempted to block him once more. Hendrik punched the shield with full force, causing it to crack and shatter completely.

With one powerful blow to the tank’s stomach, the warrior fell unconscious. The archer, witnessing his comrades' defeat, succumbed to terror and fainted before Hendrik even reached him.

Silence filled the arena, followed by an eruption of cheers from the spectators, acknowledging Hendrik's undeniable victory. King Skarvlad smirked slightly.

"This victory proves his potential. However, he must be kept under watch."

Hendrik stood at the center of the arena, panting but unshaken. He knew this was only the beginning of his journey in this world.

"What now, Your Majesty?" Hendrik asked firmly.

The King rose from his throne. "Congratulations, Hendrik. You have proven yourself. From this moment forward, you are part of the Skarvlad Kingdom."

The once-cheering arena fell into tense silence. Hendrik stood tall, catching his breath after the grueling battle against The Ranger. However, instead of accepting the honor bestowed upon him, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"What? Become part of this kingdom? Don't be ridiculous!" His voice echoed through the entire arena, shocking the spectators and King Skarvlad alike.

The King scowled, feeling insulted. "You dare reject my offer? No one refuses such an honor!"

Hendrik stepped forward, sweeping his gaze across the arena. "I have no need for your honor. Thanks to you, I was able to awaken my power. But I have no further business here."

He raised his hand, melodic light flaring around him, musical symbols floating once more. The energy caused the entire arena to tremble.

"How dare you insult this kingdom!" one of the King’s advisors shouted.

King Skarvlad clenched his fists, his restrained fury evident. "Deploy the royal mages! I want him subdued or dead—he will not leave this place alive!"

"Understood, Your Majesty," the advisor replied, signaling the mages into action.

Several sorcerers dressed in black robes emerged from the sides of the arena, forming a large circle. They began chanting spells, creating a complex combination of magic. A glowing magical circle appeared in the air, slowly enclosing Hendrik.

"Now you will witness the power of the Skarvlad kingdom," one of the sorcerers said confidently.

However, Hendrik merely smiled calmly. "Really? Go ahead and try."

The sealing spell was finally completed. The immense magic surged toward Hendrik, creating an overwhelming pressure that made the spectators feel suffocated. But as the energy neared, Hendrik lifted a single finger.

"Enough." With a snap of his fingers, the magical energy shattered and vanished like dust. The sorcerers were stunned, some even collapsing from exhaustion.

"Impossible..." one of the sorcerers muttered, his face pale.

Hendrik laughed in satisfaction. "You'll have to try harder than that to stop me." He then fixed his gaze on King Skarvlad. "Thanks for everything, but I have no time for power games like this. Farewell, or perhaps, never again."

His body began to shine brightly. With the power of his melody, he shot into the sky, leaving the arena and the entire kingdom behind. The spectators and soldiers could only watch in awe as Hendrik soared away until he disappeared from sight.

King Skarvlad remained silent for a moment, then sat back down on his throne. "That man... He is no ordinary person."

His advisor approached, his face filled with concern. "Your Majesty, this is dangerous. If he joins another nation, we will face a grave threat."

The king let out a deep sigh. "We shall see. But one thing is certain—we have lost a weapon to defeat the fallen heroes."

The arena, which had been engulfed in silence, was suddenly shaken by a booming voice that echoed through every corner of the Skarvlad palace. The voice was cold and authoritative, making the surroundings feel instantly frozen.

"Defeating a hero, huh? What a shame you let a hero from Earth slip away," the voice remarked with a sarcastic tone.

All eyes searched for the source of the voice, but no one could pinpoint its origin. King Skarvlad rose from his throne, his face tense. "How dare you! Who are you to enter my kingdom uninvited?"

Suddenly, one of the king’s advisors began trembling, his face turning pale. "Your Majesty... He... he is the Ice Hero! The ruler of the Northern Ice Kingdom!"

"You know quite a lot," the voice sounded again, now accompanied by a cold mist that gradually formed into the shape of a human. Within seconds, a tall man with silver hair and sharp blue eyes appeared. He wore a thick white fur coat, his aura exuding a chill that pierced to the bone.
