The following day arrived. But to many in the Westerfort Heaven City, it was still the continuing sage that unfolded at night.Due to the chaos, everyone was wary and kept on guard.Everyone thought that another assassination would occur or feared that Asteria will finally lose her bonkers and start bolting lighting at everyone.And so, many of the nobles hadn’t even slept yet as the morning light shone.On the training arena reserved for the best elites of the Westerfort, the Diasons and the Tamers gathered once more.“Well, due to Count Sarfaron missing and him being a prime suspect in the assassination attempt, almost all charges of the chaos we had last night were dropped. The body double masks and other effects have also been found proving that the man Liathel wounded was in fact, a body double.” William reported.“And of course, our interference proved vital, and Asteria rewarded us and offered us a Baron position in the North with a high chance of becoming Viscounts.”“Viscount

Right after the first day, numerous shocking news resounded.Numerous nobles were moving towards the Westerforts and even the noble line of the Galantcross was expected to pay a visit!Because of this, Kanter announced that the tournament would continue soon to present a good show for the royals. The prizes were also increased and discussions of allowing the Tamers to earn far beyond the caps were being offered. Three days were given until the continuation of the tournament.Asteria and her people complained, but Kanter was decided.It was then that he placed a large amount of gold to bet against the tamers. Kanter wagered that Flay Eulser would come out as the champion! People would either bet Flay would win in this special category, or bet that 'anyone else' would win.Barons, Viscounts, Counts, and even the soldiers serving Kanter also poured their life saving into this bet. The amount was so crazy that everyone was tempted.Asteria laughed and made her wager against it. Soon, Vall

The group continued with their training.But as the training arena was not designed for Experts to battle on, so the Harass had to limit their powers.Kaeger became the first one they challenged as he was a High Adept close to becoming an Expert.But soon, the battles they had involved many of the experts in the team.The teams would be divided and would often fight against each other. The only issue they had was getting the Experts to fight their queen.But the training progressed as the teams were now learning to fight with each other.The Harass was slowly learning the ways of fighting with a team.Merick’s arrival and the sudden strengthening of his Tamed Monster thanks to many of Flay’s ‘alchemy’ drove the once Apprentice leveled Ape into a Mid-Adept stage level overnight.With its natural affinity to the trees, a Tree Slime clone was sacrificed and made the Ape a walking poison beast! It had great strength and could even grow roots on its legs!The wild training and battles were

Flay’s eyes widened at the question of Mars.Dragons were beings of infinite greed, hatred, and cruel desires.The ancient records spoke of a war against the Dragonic People who tried to conquer the lands using the powers they had gained from dragons.As such, dragons were always associated with the demon races.By now, Mars revealed his form was that of a dragon!“A dragon?!” Flay was amazed.“Not all are bad. Some, like me, chose to stay and serve the Eos lord. I once held the title, King of Dragons before I served the King of the Eos.” Mars explained.Flay glanced at Mars and it was only now that the appearance of Mars matched the description talked about in the tales of the Dragonic People long ago.“While harnessing monster cores can be passed on to Kairo, he cannot have my form and my other powers. That is reserved for you, son of Pluton. Only his power could merge with mine. We were like brothers, but more often than not, rivals. Sadly, we had to kill him before we settled who

The great Duke of the Easterforts and his elite guards were nothing to these powerful beings.The purple-scaled man revealed its true form and what was strange was the massive power did not release any Brute power at all! It was pure strength!And yet Dorado was clutching the man with all of his Brute energy.“What happened?” The creature that Dorado called the Abadon asked him.“...It was a trap mechanism! Asteria had powerful magic that we never expected possible! They nearly succeeded!”“Nearly succeeded?” The Abadon laughed.“Is that what I should be happy about? That you all nearly succeeded?” The Abadon laughed.Dorado trembled but he could not answer. He had not known that this mission would actually make one of that mysterious beasts move from their secret lairs!“The north must be opened! Don’t you value your life, Dorado? Or do you wish to be like your predecessor?”“Lord Abadon! Please forgive us! The power of Asteria surpassed everyone’s expectations! The South, the Druids
