Back in time to Dante perspective


    Dante and the rest of the Kinsman n members managed to leave the howling beast forest after a long and tiring journey. there weren''t any major difficulties as any beasts they faced could be easily one-shot by Reba so they could travel through the forest with peace of mind.


    But as they approached Brightsteel city Dante noticed something strange about the city. There was an extremely tense atmosphere throughout the whole of the city with each and every person looking around anxiously while scenes of destroyed buildings and craters were spread out through the city showing the conflicts between the Kinsman n and the ter n Reba was talking about.


    As Dante and rest pulled up to the npound they were greeted with a hectic scene with people rushing all over the ce and dragging injured people to the n infirmary.


    Suddenly a brown-haired maid rushed to the group. It was Maria


    "Young master Dante! Young miss Reba!"


    "There''s currently a meeting between the upper echelons of the n and your presence is urgently required!"


    Seeing Maria''s distressed look Dante was sure this meeting was an important one they could not miss.


    despite the fact, all Dante wanted to do was rest after all the fighting he did, he was dragged by Reba towards the n meeting grounds.


    Standing outside arge decorated double door Dante and Reba could hear the muffled sounds of arguments and shouting making it clear that a heated debate was going on.


    Dante took a second to organise himself before stepping inside along with Reba.


    As soon as they entered the room it went silent as tens of malicious eyes turned towards them, more specifically Reba.


    Feeling threatened Dante instinctively released his ''dragon fear'' causing a change in expression in some people in the room, but due to the high cultivation of the elders present barely anyone was seriously affected.


    Even so, Dante wasn''t bothered.


    he knew the people in the room couldn''t do anything towards him here, after all ,both his father and uncle, who was the patriarch of the n, were currently in the room. Inside of the Kinsman n, he was basically untouchable and so he stood there fearlessly returning every single stare directed his way!


    Reba also didn''t seem to be affected after all she was the daughter of the current patriarch with a cultivation level equal to some of the elders in this room. So she stood there unmoved by the numerous gazes on her.


    Suddenly patriarch Gavin spoke up diverting the attention away from Reba and Dante


    "Since we''re all here, why don''t we go back to the topic at hand. The attacks of the ter n."


    "Recently there has been a steep rising in conflicts between the ter n and kinsman n with them attacking stores and damaging our properties!"


    "They even disregarded the founding rules of Brightsteel City and sent members of the older generation to attack our youngsters in The howling beast forest."


    "We''re led to believe that their recent actions are all caused by the recent return of one of their sons, Curtis ter!"


    Instantly a burst of chatter erupted from the gathering of elders


    "Curtis ter, the son of the ter n Patriarch. Isn''t he a piece of trash that couldn''t even awaken his martial spirit ?"


    "Not only that wasn''t he brutally defeated in the inter-npetition three years ago? I wonder where he gets the confidence to evene back to brightsteel city again "


    "What can a piece of trash like him do if he returns anyway?"


    "Silence !" eximed Patriarch Gavin


    "The Curtis that left brightsteel city and the Curtis that is returning could barely be considered the same person" he continued


    "Not only did Curtis Manage to awaken a martial spirit. The martial spirit he awakened was also a never-before-seen mutation in the ter Family, The Demonic Blood River! a martial spirit which granted him excellent maniption of blood and demonic energy !".


    but before patriarch Gavin could continue he was quickly interrupted by Grand Elder Harrison.


    "So what if the boy of theter n managed to awaken an amazing martial spirit, surely his strength wouldn''t have reached such a ridiculous level in such a short time that the ter n thought that they couldpletely deal with us?"


    "of course not " replied patriarch Gavin displeased at the sudden interruption "if you hadn''t interrupted me and allowed me to continue speaking your doubts would have been cleared" continued patriarch Gavin causing an ugly expression to appear on Elder Harrison''s face.


    "As I was saying before, through unknown means Curtis ter managed to awaken a mutated martial spirit and managed to receive the attention of one of the most ruthless groups known on the rippling wave continent"


    "The Blood Moon Pce!"
