“Freaking hell!” Quinn snapped.

“You want to arrest me? Sure, no problem!” Then he pointed back to Rhys, “Arrest him too or does noble blood mean he is permitted to commit attempted murder.” Quinn frowned.

“Ask any one of them first, what he tried to do?”

Captain Vaughan narrowed his eyes, then he turned around.

“Anyone that can testify that Rhys tried to kill Quinn first should step forward this instant.”

Quinn clenched his fists.

“Guys. What are you doing? Weren't anyone there when that panther tried to do a killer move? Didn't you see?”

However none of them answered.

They all looked away.

Vaughan chuckled. “As you can see, you have no witnesses or evidence.” He said, glaring at Quinn, before turning to his shoulders.

“Seize him!”

A black hole formed around both Vaughan and the soldiers who were coming forward.

Quinn was the first person to notice this.

“Bell. Stop it! You'd only make it worse.” He quickly said to her.

He had thought she was resting until he saw the black hole.

The black hole vanished.

And Vaughan realised that the strong pressure he was feeling had vanished.

Quinn was quickly subdued and his hands were tied.

A massive Griffin materialized in front of them.

“Throw him on top.” 

Quinn could do nothing and he was thrown on to the beast.

“This isn't fair.” He frowned.

“Nothing’s fair in this world, Kid. Next time, you'd learn to watch who you hurt.” Vaughan said in a low tone.

“He started it.”

“Where's your family?”

“They disowned me.” Quinn answered, looking away.

It was all because of that stupid affinity exam.

Why was even something like that in existence.

Now he had a Primordial Beast, yet these dullards claim he is using forbidden arts.

“Once I get out, I'm going to make a city of my own, where the weak can leave without fear of the strong.”

Quinn mumbled to himself.

But first he needed to leave this place.

Days passed and Quinn was brought to the City's supreme court.

“Quinn Thorpes. You stand accused of the attempted murder of Rhys Rodriguez and the usage of forbidden beast arts. How do you plead?”

Quinn sighed, but he remained silent.

“Quinn. You have time to think of what to say, but remember it would only stand to prove your guilt or innocence. How do you plead.”

Quinn gave no response.

Even the judge was getting ticked off.

“Your honour, he deserves death, and you also need to seize his beast for what that monstrosity did to me.” Rhys rose to his feet, clutching his arm—rather his left stump.

Without an arm, how could he live on earth like a full man?

Quinn raised his gaze. “It was simply self defense. However, if you intend to say I used forbidden arts. Let me have a fight with Captain Vaughan and I'd use the exact same move I used in fighting that rascal.”

Rhys' face scrunched into a frown.

“How can we even trust what you say?”

Then the door to the court was pushed open.

“I was there. I can prove it was the exact same move.”

It was the instructor who watched the previous match.

The Judge looked at the situation and then nodded.

“There's a fighting arena behind the court. You can make use of that.”

Captain Vaughan crossed his arms.

He was also curious about the move this kid had used.

Was it that powerful that even a Rare Class could not defeat it?

Everyone moved to the back of the court.

And Quinn stood in the middle of the arena, with Bell besides him, as they both faced Captain Vaughan.

“Just because you are a kid, doesn't mean I'd go easy on you.”

Quinn nodded, “I don't expect you to.”

A large snake like monster materialized besides Vaughan.

It was as tall as a mountain and its scales glimmered like steel.

“The Awakened Class Beast, Snake Demon.” Quinn uttered with a smile.

Sweat pooled on his forehead.

“That's correct. Seems you know your beasts quite well. Makes me wonder why you used forbidden arts instead.” Vaughan frowned.

“I didn't.” Quinn shot back, “Bell, attack.”

The girl walked forward and snapped her finger.

The large black hole appeared under Vaughan and his snake.

This one was three times as large as the one she used before.

Then she vanished.

The same thing Vaughan and his beast got swallowed by the black hole.

Quinn sat on the floor.

He didn't think Bell would be able to fight an Awakened class.

That class was ten times stronger than Rhys’ weak Rare class.

“Bell, are you good?” Quinn spoke through the telepathic communication.

At first she didn't respond and that made him panic.

“Bell, answer me.” Quinn said again.

“Too strong.” Her voice came back.

Quinn exhaled in relief, “Okay that's fine. End it and come out.”

The next second, the large black hole appeared and Vaughan and his beast materialized.

Bell appeared besides Quinn.

“Good Job!” He patted her head after seeing that she had no injuries. “Go rest. I'd get food for you soon.” 

Bell nodded and she vanished.

However, the eyes of everyone in the arena were wide open.

Captain Vaughan was bleeding.

There were so many slashes around his body.

Although tiny, they were still there.

Vaughan grunted, and looked up.

Even his beast. The awakened class summon he was so proud of had lost an eye.

“That kid didn't use a forbidden art after all.”

    Far away from the subterranean city of the Spires, in the forgotten reaches of the Eastern Rim, the sky turned the color of dried blood.The remote kingdom of Solaria sat nestled between jagged mountain peaks, completely cut off from the rest of the continent. For generations, Solaria had lived in quiet peace. Its people farmed the stony valleys, tended their sheep, and sang old songs about the gods of the wind. They had no great armies. They had no powerful mages. They were simple, peaceful folk who believed the world outside their high mountain pass would leave them alone.They were wrong.The ground beneath the capital city of Solaria began to tremble just after midnight. At first, the villagers thought it was a mild earthquake, a common occurrence in the rocky highlands. But the shaking didn't stop. It grew worse. The stone walls of the houses cracked. Clay pots shattered on kitchen floors. Livestock broke free from their pens, screaming in absolute primal terror, running blindly

    The grand obsidian plaza was completely silent. The heavy tension in the air felt thick enough to cut with a knife. Thousands of surface explorers stood with their weapons drawn, while the four peaceful species of the underground city stood tall, ready to defend their home.Lord Vane lowered his ruby-topped cane. His cruel smile never left his face. He looked at the Stonefolk elder, then at the Lizardfolk warriors, and finally at the floating Spiritborn."You think you can stop my private army with spears and rocks?" Lord Vane laughed darkly. He turned his head toward his heavily armed mercenaries. "Kill anyone who moves. Leave the elders alive so they can tell us where the core vault is located.""Wait!" Quinn shouted.Quinn stepped out from the crowd of surface explorers. He pulled his grey hood back, revealing his bruised face and his cold, dead, pitch-black eyes. His heavy Star-Iron gloves hummed with dark energy.Lord Vane stopped laughing. He turned around and stared at Quinn. "

    The massive crowd of surface explorers flooded into the grand plaza of the underground city. Heavy boots slammed against the ancient obsidian pavement, echoing loudly between the towering black spires. Shouts, curses, and the clanking of metal weapons shattered the silent, eternal peace that had protected the subterranean world for a thousand years."Look at those obsidian pillars!" a scarred human mercenary yelled, pointing his sword at a massive structure. "There's gold inlaid in the stone! That's pure wealth just sitting there!""Grab everything you can carry!" another treasure hunter shouted, rushing toward a grand stone archway.Quinn stood near the edge of the grand plaza, his dark eyes scanning the vast underground metropolis. The sheer scale of the city was staggering. Bridges of glowing blue energy spanned across bottomless canyons, connecting massive towers that reached up toward the dark cavern ceiling."They're going to destroy it in an hour," Darius said, crossing his arm

    The heavy iron gates of Vanguard Academy loomed over the hill. The giant black banners with the blood-red circle fluttered in the afternoon wind.Quinn stared at the entrance. His dark eyes were completely cold."We cannot go inside," Quinn said quietly. His voice did not shake. "The Circle owns the school now. If we walk through those gates, the masked guards will trap us.""Look at the walls," Darius hissed. The red-haired swordsman pointed his finger toward the high stone battlements. "They have magical-scanners posted everywhere. If we get close, the sensors will read our core signatures. They will know we are here instantly.""We lost everything," Luna whispered. Her blue eyes filled with heavy tears. She looked at the grand academy where they had spent months learning magic, fighting side by side. "This was supposed to be our safe place. This was where we were going to expose the King.""The King is the Circle," Felix said. He adjusted his cracked glasses, his hands trembling vi

    The wooden floor creaked loudly under Quinn's heavy boots. He pulled his dark cloak tight over his broad shoulders. He hid his bruised face deep inside the grey hood.Darius strapped his glowing green sword to his belt. He smiled, looking completely relaxed. Luna wrapped a thick wool scarf around her neck to hide her face. Felix hugged his leather bag tightly against his chest. His hands were shaking. Bell was already hiding safely inside Quinn’s shadow, taking another nap.They walked down the stairs of the Warm Bear Tavern. The fat tavern keeper was washing a glass behind the wooden bar. He saw them coming. He immediately turned his back. He stared at the wall and pretended they were completely invisible.Quinn pushed the heavy wooden door open. The freezing winter wind hit them in the face.They stepped out into the snowy street. The sun was shining brightly, but the town was not quiet anymore.A loud brass horn blew in the distance.**"Attention all citizens! Halt exactly where yo

  • CHAPTER 116

    The throne room of the Northern Castle was completely silent. It was a terrifying, heavy silence.The heavy oak doors were closed. The white marble floor was covered in wet, dirty snow. The giant crystal chandeliers above gave off a cold, sharp light.At the end of the long room, the King of the North sat on his golden throne. He wore his thick white furs. His face was a mask of pure, solid stone. His icy blue eyes stared straight ahead. He did not blink. He did not move. He looked like a statue of death.Standing in front of the throne was the Guard Captain.The Captain was a massive, strong man, but right now, he was shaking. His shining silver armor was dented and covered in dirt. His white fur cape was burned black at the edges. He breathed heavily. He was terrified.To the left of the Captain stood Doctor Aris. The scientist’s white lab coat was ripped. His thin silver glasses were completely shattered on one side. He looked at the floor. He did not dare to look up at the King.T
