The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 38: The Secret Plan

"Rise up, what are you doing prostrating like that...?"

Ren looks a little troubled, Ren is not used to being too respectful like this. Even if it was respected normally there was already a lot of natural Ren. But if it was to be made an object of prostration, Ren couldn't help it.

"This is just a sign of our respect and apology..." The king raised his face.

"Just calm down, I've forgiven you..." Ren shook his arm.

"Then, what about my previous offer...?" Ren asked the King.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Dirvaren, what do you mean is to be a subordinate?"

"Yes, rather, I want to make a partnership with you..."

"To-rja alike....?" The king looked confused.

At first, the King looked a little confused. After the King thought in silence, he then put on a slightly radiant face.

"Truely, a cooperation that benefits both sides. Detail all this I'll explain later in a better place, okay?"

"Well... I agree to it." The king nodded deeply.

"Pulse. For now, we have to make all of this work according to Plan.."

"Plan...?" Everyone looks at each other. They seemed to not understand the meaning of the words uttered by Ren.

"Yes..." Ren answered everyone's questions.

Ren stood up from his sitting position, he walked past the four people towards the barrier between the Arena and The King's Area. Ren's eyes locked on the Knights of Aulzania who were locked in a cube.

"The Blood Ruler: Cancel"

One of the red Cube located in the Arena is seen Crack then Destroyed instantly. The queue locked inside looked puzzled over what had happened. But, Derrian quickly ran, in the direction where The King's Area was.

"You wake up, Derrian will be here soon." Ren pointed at the Arena below him.

"When Derrian got here, that's when King Esdagius, I asked that you give him a little explanation..." Ren walked back, then leaned against the wall with both arms crossed.

"I don't know what your plan is.. But, I'll try to explain as much as possible." The king confirmed his position and stood back up.

"Just calm down, Your Highness Dirvaren, to make amends. I'll help Dad!" The prince said with enthusiasm.

The Prince's words made Ren put on a complicated expression.

'What's wrong with this prince? he looks like a kid.' Ren commented to the Prince whose attitude had changed to that of a child. At first, the Prince always rebelled against Ren.

"Give up, [Blood Art : Cancel]" Ren canceled his Blood Art Skill. The throne he had made was slowly - the land disappeared into fog.

"Me-Flattering... What kind of magic is His Majesty?" The prince said with sparkling eyes.

"Hey, Etharez. Ahahahah.. Forgive My Son His Majesty Dirvaren. My son really likes Lost Magic." The king smiled awkwardly at his son's attitude.

Because Ren was a Monarch from a long time ago. The King, Queen and Prince thought all of the Skills Ren Use were Lost Magic.

"What's wrong, I don't think of such a trivial thing... I want to ask you one thing." Ren turned his tone seriously.

"What is it, Your Majesty?" The King replied Doubtfully - Doubtfully.

"Tell me King Esdagius, is Derrian someone to be trusted...?" Saying this, Ren glanced at the King with his fiery red Eyes.

"Pulse.. He was raised and educated directly by the Royal Family. I guess, he's trustworthy.."

"I understand, He's coming."

Braakkk!

The door of the room crashed from outside, a person wearing Golden Armor appeared from there.

"Your Majesty!"

Derrian appeared with a sword drawn in his hand. Derrian then realized the King who was standing with the Queen and the Prince. An unknown man entered his sight, but Derrian decided to ignore this first.

"Your Majesty! You okay?!" Derrian ran at the King with a worried face.

"I'm okaywhat's Derrian, you don't have to worry." The king came back like a king.

Bruckk..

Derrian knelt to the King with a face full of regret.

"Pardon Your Majesty's servant, Servant failed as a Chief Knight of Aulzania..."

Derrian looked down full of regret, as if a great sin had been laid on his shoulders.

"What do you think, Derrian? your contribution to the Kingdom is countless. Just a failure like this is not something you should think about..." The king said wisely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Derrian lowered his head once again.

Proks. Proks

Everyone's gaze turned to the origin of the clapping sound.

"It's enough, our time is limited. Quickly explain that.. King Esdagius." Ren hinted for the King to immediately begin his explanation.

This time, only Derrian was a little glaring. Heard an unknown person calling out to the King at will. While everyone else just kept quiet didn't speak.

The atmosphere was filled with silence, before the King finally decided to open the conversation..

"Ehm. Listen to this well - well Derrian.." The king coughed, then began his explanation.

Derrian, though still in a state of confusion and still has many questions in his heart. However, he preferred to be silent to hear the King's explanation.

The king explained everything that was really happening. Several times, the King even helped the Prince and Queen to convince Derrian. The explanation ends when the King tells Derrian that the one who is leaning is Ren.

"So, Your Majesty, that person is really Ren...?" Derrian looked at Ren as if in disbelief.

"So Derrian, didn't I explain?" The king raised his eyebrows.

"But... Your Majesty, his figure is really too different." Derrian pointed right at Ren's face.

"Haha... Are you surprised my face is different? If I do this, do you believe me.?" Ren interrupts the conversation between the King and Derrian.

Ren's hand let out a blood-red mist. Ren then rubbed that hand on his face. Instantly the face that had been continuously turned back into an unpleasant figure to look at. Everyone here once again felt astonished at what Ren had done.

"A-What.. So, that's really you.."

"Well.. But my real face is this one.."  Ren rubbed his face back, after which his face returned to its original state.

"Derrian, I need you to execute a plan."

"Plan...?" Derrian looks confused.

Ren walked up to Derrian, then held Derrian's shoulder with his right hand.

"Yes, a plan that benefits all of her.."

Baduum!!

Shortly after the explosion, a figure of a flying man shot out from The King's Area.

Shuttl!! Oh badummm!

The man flew up and crashed into the wall that bounded the Arena with where the spectators were. Causing the wall to be badly damaged, huge cracks happened here and there with the man at the center.

Meanwhile, from The King's Area, another figure was seen jumping out. Landing smoothly on the ground in the Arena. The figure was a Man wearing a golden white Armor, with the emblem of a winged Lion on his shoulder.

The Conferred Knights of Aulzania were aware of this figure. One who leads the Knights of Aulzania, and is the strongest among them when it comes to close combat.

"Chairman Derrian...!"

"What about the King?!"

The Knights of Aulzania asked one by one at Derrian who was walking in the Arena. Derrian walked towards the figure that had flown first and crashed into the barrier wall of this Arena.

"Relax all of you, the King is fine. Lucky criminals are stupid...." Derrian stared intently at the figure that hit the wall.

"Gehhh...! Don't be arrogant, feel this!" The figure rose and shot back towards Derrian.

"Basic Stupid, I was just a little off guard at that..." Derrian was still walking quietly.

Sshuuuussshh Dam!

The man appeared before Derrian and attacked him with a punch.

This blow was successfully dispelled by Derrian using his left arm.

"W-What..?" The man said he couldn't believe it.

"God.. Then, can you withstand this..!"

Dam up! Dam up! Dam up! Dam up!

Derrian and the man exchanged blows several times. Although Derrian appeared to be in a defensive position, others learned that Derrian was in a favorable position. Derrian was not only defensive this time, several times Derrian launched a counterattack.

Dam up! Dam up!

"Guhoook?!?!"

The man vomited blood from Derrian's blow to his stomach.

"Armghhh!"

The man tried to retaliate against Derrian's attack. However, his attacks were futile - Derrian easily resisted his attacks.

Drakks! The syuttsssh!

Derrian launched a powerful kick at the man, evidently from the man who flew darting towards the Arena wall.

The duarrr!

The man bumped against the Arena wall, due to such high speed, the Arena Wall was destroyed instantly.

"In the end, you were only helped by this Item that made you temporarily strong..." Derrian points out a pendant made of a mysterious red crystal in his hand.

Krakk!

Derrian gripped the Pendant in his hand firmly. Causing the Pendant to shatter instantly. Before long, the Red Cube that locked up the Nobles and Knights of Aulzania was destroyed one by one.

"Finally, we are free! Chairman Derrian is great!"

The Knights of Aulzania praised Derrian for setting them free. But, Derrian did not pay any attention to this Knight Aulzania, he just walked towards the man who was lying inside the shattered wall.

"Re-?!"

A woman's voice rang out in Derrian's ears. However, the voice quickly broke off.

"Hm..? What's that sound?" Derrian turned around and looked towards the audience seats. But no one entered his sight. The Nobles had fled once the red cube that locked them away broke apart.

The man that Derrian kicked was lying in the rubble of a shattered wall. His condition was so miserable, his entire body was covered in blood. His ugly face is becoming increasingly unknown.

"I'm sorry..." Derrian muttered very slowly.

Drgg

The man Derrian gushed towards the Arena, issuing a strange Sound as his body hit the shattered rubble. The figure of Derrian displacing the corpse of a man covered in blood was so terrifying.

"Chairman! Is he the criminal.?" An Aulzania Knight asked Derrian who was displacing the lifeless man.

"Yes, he changed his appearance to the figure of a villager using the Pendant, the real figure is this." Derrian pointed at the bloodied face.

The Knights of Aulzania crowded together to hear an explanation from their Chief.

"Please take care of this man's corpse, I'll pick up His Majesty first." Derrian said, then released the man in the middle of the crowd.

"Keeps..?" The Knights of Aulzania look confused.

"Yes, he is someone who comes from a mysterious organization. It could be that someone is going to steal the body, to avoid leaking the Secret." Derrian explained.

"Alright Chief, we understand." The Knights of Aulzania nodded.

"Good...." Derrian walked away from the crowd.

That's when........

"Dodging....!" The Knights of Aulzania shouted.

The duarrrr!!

A huge explosion occurred right behind Derrian. The powerful explosion, even caused Derrian to crash a few steps.

"What happened...?!" Derrian shouted, at the injured Knights of Aulzania.

"Damn you...!" Derrian looks cursed.

Derrian immediately ran to see the corpse he had been writhing. However, there was no one - who was there was only a land that was destroyed by the explosion.

The man he had riled up on had blown himself up. The Knights of Aulzania were seriously injured by the explosion.

Luckily, the King appears with the Queen, Prince, Fraudlin and the Royal Witch Sarlyn. Realizing the Condition of the Knights of Aulzania who were seriously injured. The King ordered Sarlyn to call the Priests to heal them.

On a small Street not far from the Colosseum of Rondelia City. No one was seen walking this path, just a loneliness and silence.

From behind the shadow of the building on this road. A mist suddenly appeared, accompanied by his coming a figure suddenly arrived. The figure of a black-haired man with flaming red eyes.

The figure is none other than Anryzel Dirvaren or better known as Ren.

'Tch, Derrian, you really did it with all your might.'

Ren grumbled in his heart, his figure walking out of this small path.
