"The crown of light brings glory." whispered Evelyn among her surging consciousness.
There was a snorting sound, followed by the same sound of laughter that boomed.
Evelyn's eyelids began to tremble weakly, before long her head fell down and drooped.
The laughter of a man boomed.
An honorary official floated down out of nowhere, then landed in front of Evelyn with a grin, his two hands crossing behind his body. "What if you're a genius?" grunts. "His father was also a genius, but still ended up dying horribly!"
Two other officials settled down behind the man with Bedros Damon. Kush Thunder and Neiro Sachs.
Simultaneously, another man floated down behind Evelyn and jerked the other four men.
"Kefas!" pekik Bedros could not cover up his lethargic feelings. "You're back?"
In contrast to Bedros, the other three men stared at Kefas vigilantly.
Kefas pulled the corners of his lips into a thin grin.
Bedros' face turned shocked. Why does the aura feel different?
The other three men also felt that.
"Are you really Kefas?" Neiro Sach asked suspiciously.
"You honourable people," hiss Kefas resembled a gust of wind, ignoring Neiro's question. "You're all so great. Is it appropriate to bully a little girl whose level of strength is not even comparable to one of you?"
The officials blinked with their jaws tightened.
"So.." Kush Thunder raised his nose arrogantly. "What exactly was your purpose in coming here? Preaching?" his grunts are scornful.
Kefas snorted back. His pair of dark lips formed a thin grin. Then get closer to Evelyn.
The man in front of Evelyn spontaneously mounted the horses, followed by Kush Thunder and Neiro Sach.
Bedros stuttered with worry.
Kefas set his foot on the ground, and the earth shook with a burst of smoke with thunderbolts, a black disc-shaped halo of light shimmered around his body and Evelyn's body.
Bedros and the three officials were bounced in four opposite directions. Then it falls down and lapses pitifully.
"Traitor!" shouted Kush Thunder furiously, then sighed up his body and lunged towards Kefas while throwing purple and black light energies.
Kefas flicked his shoulders slightly and the honorable man was bad at ambushing empty air.
"So you're really a traitor?" Bedros hissed sharply while glaring at his brother with a reproachful look.
At the same time, the other three men also lunged in unison and surrounded him.
Kefas set one foot once more, and instantly the four men who surrounded him bounced back.
Kefas smiled broadly as he grabbed Evelyn's waist and pulled her into the ground, then disappeared along with her spiritual chakra.
THE BLASSSH!
The foreign dimensional space that was none other than the Altarus City was suddenly silent.
The four men froze in blindness as a thick cloud of dust enveloped the entire place around them.
As the dust gradually dissipated, Kush Thunder roared in wrath, while Kephas had already reached the city's border gate.
As soon as he exits the gate, Nyx Cornus confronts him along with a number of mysterious bodyguards in ninja uniforms.
"You again?" nyx Cornus infuriated with a demonic aura.
Oh, s h i t ! Kefas groaned in his heart. It then flung out a bracelet-shaped spiritual chakra from his wrist which in an instant had already swelled ten times larger. A giant black-gloved tight hand burst out from within the circle and pounced towards Nyx Cornus.
The guardian girl soared away from him while catapulting her hell chain protection fairy with a twisting motion in the air.
GRAAAAAKKKK!
The chain whipped towards Kefas' giant hand and ambushed his wrist.
Kefas responded by ambushing the chain of hell with the illusory figure of his giant hand, then throwing Nyx Cornus in any direction.
Nyx Cornus was thrown out of nowhere, but the hell chain was still wrapped around the giant wrist.
GRAAAKKK!
The sounds of metal clashing exploded in the air.
Kefas managed to dodge while still holding Evelyn's body on his shoulder, holding it with one hand, while the other hand was still entangled in the shackles of the hell chain belonging to Nyx Cornus.
Nyx Cornus threw another chain out of nowhere, then ambushed Evelyn's waist and snatched it from Kefas.
Along with that, the ninjas had surrounded Kephas with drawn swords.
"D A M N !" Kefas growled as he jerked his hand once more, and at once the chain of hell belonging to Nyx Cornus exploded and slipped from his wrist. He dropped himself in a squatting position while swinging his palm with fingers to form claws, then landed his claws on the ground.
YOAAARRRR!
A huge explosion was created from the impact of his hand to make the earth shake.
The ninjas bounced around and at the same time Kefas also disappeared into his mysterious spiritual chakra.
SLASHY!
Dust islands soar around Nyx Cornus.
And when the dust settled down and gradually disappeared, Nyx Cornus was back in the grounds of Nazareth's cottage, hugging Evelyn with a trembling body. The shadow guards scattered here and there around him in apprehensive condition.
Nazareth flinched and twisted. Then scatter towards them, followed by the three guardians and the children of their assets.
Migi Vox darted first towards Evelyn, wriggling around the girl's neck while shrinking her face as usual.
Evelyn was still drooping with her eyes closed.
"Eve.." Xena and Electra sizzled softly, then hugged each other while crying silently.
Cleon and Altair froze with teary eyes.
Nazareth and Lady Die crouch near Nyx Cornus. Nazareth scoops Evelyn's body while Lady Die scoops Nyx Cornus's.
Arsen Heart and Salazar Lotz inspected the Nazareth shadow guards and instructed Cleon and Altair to help them bring the bodyguards to the Academy Medicine Hall.
Lady Die led Nyx Cornus to the medicine bathhouse with Electra, while Nazareth still bowed to Evelyn.
Xena stood tremblingly looking at Evelyn with tears in her eyes.
Moments later, Lady Die returns with Electra. Xena bowed towards Nazareth to have Evelyn treated at the medicinal bathhouse.
Migi Vox almost sped up when the three women carried Evelyn to the medicine bathhouse. But Nazareth immediately grabbed his nape.

The next day, at the Illusory City Cultural Hall…
Three benches of honorary officials were empty. Marques, Viscount and Baron!
The Emperor glanced at the bench with his eyes splashed.
"Today, the Magic Academy of the Music God Sandalphon is going up against the Magic Academy of Saint Claus," the host announced via loudspeaker.
"What's going on?" The Emperor muttered with a frown. "Isn't today supposed to be Team One Emperor against the Dream God Military Academy?"
"The Dream God Military Academy admitted defeat, Your Majesty!" Duke Orion told me.
"Absolutely lost?" The Emperor turned to Orion with a surprised expression.
"Let's let the two teams enter the arena with a standing ovation!" the sound of the host again boomed, followed by the sound of applause from the audience.
The emperor was stunned as he glanced at the three empty official benches. "It's not like their custom," he muttered almost inaudibly, more audible to himself.
"It's going to be a fight between father and son!" the host continued his bribes. "Which will win, can't wait to see the fight."
"Find out where they're going!" order the Emperor to Orion as he glanced towards the empty seat of office.
