“You, your majesty…” Seeing Allen closely, the woman’s voice turned small, anxious and fearful.
“How did you know I am king? Do all monsters know what I am?” Allen wondered out loud.
“Of course they will know,” The one who answered him was Alkrasha who was slowly descending. “Alkrasha,” Alkrasha smiled at him and continued, “Monsters will recognize their king even if they met you for the first time. It’s like it was already engraved in their blood…”
“Besides, though I don’t think I need to tell you this judging from your current power but if you met a monster stronger than you, be careful, they will surely attack you as your blood and flesh are like an addictive drug to them. Just because you are a Monster King doesn’t mean you can command every monster – they just felt fear or empathy, that’s all…”
Alkrasha reach her hand and stroke Allen’s cheek lovingly, “You only have the right to rule them, but whether they will obey you is another matter. That’s why, it's better if you make a kingdom yourself, husband… a kingdom where those who choose to submit to you can gather… just like mine and the other kings…”
Allen nodded understandingly.
“Of course, the Snow Wolf Clan will submit to you, my husband,” Mireya stepped forward and suddenly declared without any hesitation. “My tribe will obey whatever you command.”
Allen’s mouth lifts slightly into a wry smile. “That’s a very good proposition,” he turned at the still kneeling woman in front of him. “Now then, what is your name and what do you want from me?” His eyes are intense, probing, demanding even.
“I’m, I’m called Imali, from the tribe of Danag Kadlaw…” The woman started. “My, my clan will sub, submit to you your majesty, if you help my sister and my tribe…”
His face is impassive. “Help, is it? What happened to her?”
“My sister was abducted by King Manaul, to threaten us into submission.” Imali’s voice became quieter. “My whole tribe was the King’s servant and he ordered us to attack this city – oh King of Monsters, I implore you please save my sister and my tribe…” Imali prostrated on the ground, begging.
Allen and the others only looked at her, “I don’t believe her,” Mireya suddenly said while looking down at her. “She’s an enemy, who knows this might be a plot to hurt you, husband.”
"It's a trap."
"That's a trap."
The last two were Sara who had arrived together with Jayla and Alkrasha’s words.
“I agree,” Aileen frowned. “Besides, there’s no merit in us helping her. She was probably one of those that had attacked us before,”

“… …”
“Please, I’m not lying! Please help us!” Imali anxiously cried out in tears as she crawled and grabbed Allen’s leg, begging.
All eyes turned toward Allen. Even the newly arrived Sara and Jayla looked at Allen after all he was their leader. His words are the heaviest among them.
“King Manaul…” He muttered. In Philippine Legends, King Manaul was a mythical king who became a bird. He was believed to have caused the seas and the skies to fight against each other – such as the birth of the Philippine Islands.
However, there was also one Legend saying that King Manaul, the King of Birds, was the one who broke the Bamboo containing Malakas (Strong One) and Maganda (Beautiful One), the Philippine Version of Adam and Eve.
The birth of Man, a legend was it… interesting~ Allen’s lips curled upward. “As the King of Birds, shouldn’t I go and greet him?” Besides, if this monster was still adamant about attacking the City, then it was already pretty much enough reason for Allen to move.
Trap or not – Thrills excite Life.
Allen turned to Alkrasha, “What do you think?”
Alkrasha shook her head while wearing a wry smile, “Husband the Monster King of the Sky… that sounds so romantic~”
Aileen and the other’s expressions changed at that. It seemed like the new destination, as of this moment, has already been confirmed!
Allen looked at the sky, a bad grin suffused on his face.

... ...
In Italica, unbeknownst to every people... something is about to happen.
Something that would change the world's fate...
... ...
... ...
…The tobacco stinks.
‘He’ curled his lips as he narrowed his eyes.
The room was devoid of light, and it was pitch dark, yet he could see the tobacco flame as clear as day due to the enhanced vision and supernatural powers he possesses, and silently exhales some smoke.
He was a superhuman.
A new race of evolved humans – similar to mutants while possessing powers akin to that of Superheroes.
His name was Danki.
… Is this really the right action?
He thought to himself. If this was known by the Bianchi family, they will surely be purged with nothing to fight back. Their actions only meant one thing, going against that the family!
And everyone in Italica knows that rebelling against the Family was the stupidest choice a man could make.
But his guild was actually doing this stupid thing.
Right now, they are currently inside the Ruins the Bianchi Family named the Monsters of Stone Ruins, trying to dive deeper and acquire whatever can be found inside the ruins before the Bianchi Family gets to it.
That is right; they’re trying to take the loot before the Bianchi Family does. Who knows why they slowed down their exploration and focus on leveling, probably they were concentrating on becoming stronger first.
Thus, they can be ahead of them.
Truthfully, he doesn’t’ want to do this, after all, it’s foolish to go against a superpower that can wipe them out easily but his guild; [ Liberty of Freedom ], was blinded by greed thinking that no matter what was inside the ruins would be a very powerful item or skills… wanting to get it before the Bianchi Family and use it to rise up in power.
The leaders of his guild were dissatisfied by the Bianchi family hoarding and restricting the entrance of the ruins. Even the existence of the ruins was concealed from the public and if not for one of their members accidentally heard some rumors, they wouldn’t know of it.
And so, they did a very foolish thing to do.
Using Dakni skill, [ Trojan Horse ], a skill that helps him disguise himself and his group, he can pass through the dungeon without obstacles. Even the monsters inside only brushed past them as what they could only see were just an ordinary basilisk.
