?


    "That''s what I like to hear." The Masked man smiled. "As for when; your case is about to be closed since you have gone rogue, meaning it won''t be long before they return to the Capital."


    "We already have info about their residence, and their current whereabouts are being monitored as we speak." The Masked man added.


    "Alright then." ke had no problem with the abrupt n because no one would expect him to return to Calton so soon.


    "Did you stop the fight because you wanted me to save mana and strength?" ke was curious.


    "You could say that." The Masked man smiled as he handed him a mana regeneration potion.


    "Let''s get you a change of clothes, and send you off." The Masked man said.


    …


    Back at the empire…


    The Ancestral descendants were informed that ke''s case was about to be closedter that day, meaning they would soon be returning to Tarius.


    "Where are you going to?" Orion asked Damon who was leaving the room.


    "Since we are returning to Tarius soon, I want to see a friend of mine before I leave." Damon replied.


    "I''m bored, I will tag along."


    ''Not as if I asked you to.'' Damon rolled his eyes.


    "Aren''t youing along?" Orion couldn''t help but ask Thalia who remained on the couch.


    "As long as we are not going to ces filled with peasants." Thalia said causing Orion to turn to Damon with an inquisitive stare.


    "I am going to the Karius Estate." Damon shook his head helplessly.


    "Watching the reconstruction should be fun." Thalia sprung up from the couch and began walking out of the lounge.


    ''…'' Damon let out a helpless sigh as he followed along.


    The 3 ancestral descendants boarded an ash corps carriage and made their way into the Karius Estate.


    On getting to the centre of the estate, they were forced to continue on foot due to the road being damaged by the battle between Verdigris and the family heads.


    The reconstruction was going smoothly; not only was the constructionpany done with uprooting the roots of the gigantic trees that had erupted from the ground but they had also filled up the holes now ready for tiling.


    "This was one hell of a battle." Damon said as he saw ttened houses and even those with nts boring through walls.


    "You bet it was…" Cami let out a helpless sigh as she met up with them.


    "How are you doing?" Damon was concerned about Cami''s mental well-being because not only had ke left but some members of the Karius family had died during the fight.


    "Worse than ever, but I am still holding..." Before Cami could finish her sentence they all sensed a figure descending from the sky.


    "My eyes are ying tricks on me right?" Damon was shocked to see a white-haired ke descending from the sky.


    ke is flying?!


    He advanced into the Demigod realm?!


    Just as the 2 of them were in shock, Orion and Thalia enteredbat state, however, ke seemed unbothered.


    He wasted no time stabbing Ebony and Ivory into a spatial tear that appeared beside him.


    Five spatial tears instantly opened at all sides and below Orion to prevent him from sinking into the floor.


    He activated his 2 defensive artefacts that instantly enveloped him in 4yers of thick chromastone and a golden barrier while jumping up to get out of the encirclement, but that was exactly ke''s n.


    Immediately Orion went into the air, a 6th spatial tear appeared above him; Ebony and Ivory in their de form came charging out.


    SWISH!


    Just like a hot knife through butter, the greatsword effortlessly made its way through theyer of defences into his skull and brain.


    ''One down, one more to go!'' ke took out his sword from the spatial corridor.


    ''Shit!'' Immediately ke had appeared, Thalia had sensed that ke''s energy was different from before.


    Her initial n was for her and Orion to hold off ke since they were at the heart of the Karius estate and not too far from the Square. However, after seeing how quickly Orion was dispatched she knew she had no chance of survival if she fought.


    Without wasting a single second, she turned around to flee, but that was when she felt extremely sluggish to the point that she could barely cover 2 meters.


    ke had activated gravity, speed and time domain in the area!


    Apart from the gravity domain sending them crashing to their knees, Cami and Damon weren''t affected by the effects of the other domains.


    They watched as ke appeared in front of Thalia and grabbed her by the neck before raising her and thrusting the greatsword into her heart.


    ke watched as Thalia was consumed by a mixture of fear and anger but she was too slow to utter a word before she died.


    ke let go of the corpse''s neck, but before it touched the ground, he spun and shed through the neck.


    The moment she was confirmed dead by the system, the 3 domains were cancelled and ke floated back into the air.


    At this point, tears were rolling down Cami''s cheeks as she watched ke with miniature sizes Ebony and Ivory on his shoulder as he was floating away.


    Awoo!


    Ebony and Ivory howled in sadness as they were leaving close friends of their Master.


    "We will meet again, I promise." ke said with a sad smile as he blew a kiss to Cami and vanished out of sight.


    The very moment ke vanished, Prince Bryon and Colonel Darius as well as the top noble family heads appeared at the site.


    "We werete!" Z cursed because this spelt another set of trouble for the Karius family.


    "No matter how early you reacted, you would have beente." Prince Bryon said with a frown before continuing. "As for the aftermath of this, you don''t have to worry I will deal with it."


    ''They are beginning to pay for the results of their actions. They shall face the wrath of the monster they made.'' Prince Bryon thought as he left the scene.
