When Miko and Rin showed up they automatically drew everyone’s attention.

“With this, excluding the ones forced out of commission every member is together.”

Said Alec.

“Oh, Miko got a bit stronger than the last time I saw him.”

Said Arsene.

“You know Miko?”

Momo asked with surprise.

“Well, we haven’t met face to face but I was observing him in Grim City before I was kicked out by Miguel.”

“Demon Blacksmith, Miguel!”

Al-Shura got excited when he heard a big name like Miguel’s.

“Oh, didn’t you know? Miguel is the founder and leader of MYTH.”

This news surprised everyone except those from the Tertitus Branch.

‘Well, we worked with MYTH a few times so we already knew.’

Gizmo thought to himself.

“Anyway, before I was thrown out, I witnessed Miko waging war on the whole city with a fearless smile and demonic presence. It reminded me of when I first met, Nero.”

Arsene said with a smile.

“When I heard that the city was later destroyed, I wasn’t surprised.”

Arsene words came as a surprised to the members who didn’t know that Miko was in the infamous Grim City, and even played a part in its destruction.

They were watching him more keenly.

Miko smiled as he saw how everyone was engrossed in their battles.

“What’s this? Everyone looks so bloodthirsty.”

Miko said with a laugh.

“Say Rin, how about we join them?”

Rin smiled and pulled his sword.

“Sure. I’m itching for a fight.”

Miko nodded in approval.

“Chika, Verde! The Primus and Secundus branches are now in an alliance. You’re allowed to crush everyone else but them.”

Miko’s words shocked everyone there.

Even though an alliance between the two branches was likely, the timing was just too good.

The Primus and Secundus branches both have all of their members, which was a total of 6.

While the other three branches had lost 4 members and only had five left, and to make it worse. The three branches have destroyed each other so an alliance won’t be so easy to make at the moment.

Meaning, that they were on their own.

“……..”

Krul saw how disadvantageous the situation was and frowned.

“Looks like I need to fight for 3 people’s worth.”

*BOOM!*

It was at this moment that Ashur pushed Verde away with a kick.

“Miko! My favorite prey!”

He charged towards Miko with a savage look.

*BOOM!*

However he wasn’t able to reach him because Verde came from behind and stomped him into the ground.

“Ignoring me and attacking another?”

He grabbed Ashur’s arm.

“You need to be punished!”

He then proceeded to rip that arm off with a savage grin.

“Hahahaha! Look at all the blood!”

He laughed and waved the severed arm in the air.

“Hahahaha!”

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

However, Ashur also started laughing.

“You’re really interesting!”

Verde watched as Ashur grew a new arm from his wound.

He stood up and threw Verde off him.

“Alright, I’ll devour you as appetizer, Miko as the main course and Krul as the desert.”

The dangerous vibe he gave off increased countless times over as his body doubled in size.

“LETS GOOOOOO!”

His shout caused the entire area to shake.

“Shut up!”

That’s when Verde stomped him in the chest.

Ashur stepped back a couple times before charging towards Verde.

Verde didn’t back down and charge at him as well.

The two then once again entered a hellish battle.

“Nen. KC. Switch to those two from the Tertitus Branch.”

Rin walked up to the two and said.

“And you?”

Nen asked.

“Miko and I will break that so-called Pacifist’s illusions.”

He said as he pointed his blade at Krul.

“A double team against Krul? That’s pretty surprising.”

Said Kirika.

“Miko seemed like the type that would gladly fight by himself for all eternity.”

“No, sis. Miko knows when he’s beaten. If he teams up with someone to take down an enemy, then it’s serious.”

Alec answered.

“Hm….as I expected, Miko wasn’t able to recover enough to fight Krul and push him into a corner.”

Said Momo.

“He’s about 40%, but he still intends to fight someone that was stronger than him at 100%.”

She then smirked.

“As expected of my student, he’s already figured out what’s his true objective should be in this competition.”

Miko stepped forward and faced Krul.

“I don’t really like how you ran out on our fight earlier.”

“I’m sorry. Something came up.”

Krul smiled and said.

‘I thought having his comrades beaten would break that illusion of his, but he’s still the same.’

Miko smiled.

“Well, aren’t you a heartless one?"

Krul looked confused at what Miko said.

“Ah, don’t worry about it. I’m just talking to myself.”

He then immediately entered Demon Dragonite mode.

“Let’s pick where we left off.”

Rin started hopping beside him in a strange rhythm.

“Speed Devil and Demon Dragonite, huh? Krul might be in trouble here.”

Said Aeon.

Krul took a fighting stance.

Miko was the first to rush forward.

He jumped and drew his swords, however that was a diversion.

*BOOM!*

Rin who moved at a blinding speed, crashed into Krul out of nowhere.

Krul, who was hit with the same Exploding Black Tempest that nearly killed Miko, was sent flying with his body spinning like a top.

Miko appeared above him, and hit him with a leg drop on the neck.

*BOOM!*

Krul slammed into the earth and caused a crater.

However, Miko and Rin didn’t look please at all.

“I can’t believe he blocked a surprise attack from Speed Devil.”

Said Rin.

“He even blocked my leg drop.”

Miko said as he watched Krul stood up.

His arm had an ugly bruise from blocking Rin’s sword; while his other hand was red from blocking Miko’s leg drop.

“You two sure know how to work together.”

Krul said.

“Looks like I need to take this up a notch.”

*BOOM!*

The moment he said that an overwhelming amount of mana exploded out of his body.

“Let’s go!”

He kicked off the ground like a rocket and charged towards Rin.

Rin gripped his sword and disappeared from where he was.

*BOOM!*

He and Krul clashed midway and caused the ground to burst out in waves.

“Ugh?!”

Rin felt an intense pain in his stomach, that had Krul’s fist embedded in it.

*BOOM!*

Krul hit him with an uppercut and sent him flying back.

“Rin!”

Miko appeared behind him with both swords in hand.

Rin twisted his body so that his feet faced Miko.

Miko gripped his swords and swung them towards Rin.

Rin then used them as foothold and poured his power in his legs. .

*BOOM!*

The momentum of Miko’s swing mixed with Rin's jumping power, boost his speed to new heights.

*BOOM!*

By the time Krul knew that he was hit, he was already cutting through the air like a bullet.

Rin quickly caught up to him using Speed Devil, and kicked him in the head.

Krul came to stop and Rin swat him away with his sword.

Miko was seen chasing after him with Ishma and Regis in hand.

Demonic aura gathered in his mouth.

“Demon Howl!”

A powerful sonar attack hit Krul and caused his body to freeze up.

Miko jumped and spun sideways like a cartwheel. The swords lit up green and azure, while Miko glowed crimson.

He turned into a colorful cartwheel of death.

“Let me break that illusion of yours!”

*BOOM!*

He used Ishma and Regis and slammed Krul on the head.

Krul head burst open and blood started spraying out of his head.

“We’re not done yet!”

Rin ran at his top speed and jumped before deactivating Speed Devil.

He maintained his speed while clenching his sword.

“Demolition Arts:….!”

Rin’s sword started vibrating and an invisible force appeared around it.

“Exploding Hammer!”

He slammed his sword on Krul’s chest without mercy.

However, rather than being cut Krul’s chest was seen sinking in.

“A Pressure Sword technique?! That kid can already use them?!”

Kirika stood up and shouted in shock.

“Wake up, Krul!”

*BOOM!*

After Rin roared, Krul’s chest sunken even further and he was blown away into the distance.

Krul’s body cut through the wind, while the area started to change.

The grassland was gone, and it was replaced with a desolate world filled with dead lands and dried up rivers.

He crashed on the ground and started to bounce a few times before coming to a stop.

The area he landed in was filled with corpses of animals and all kinds of beasts.

There were literal mountains of bones around him.

“Cough?! Cough?!”

He laid on the ground choking on his own blood.

His entire body hurt and it was very hard to breathe.

“Krul!”

Seeing their nephew in desperate straits the triplets were concerned.

“This is bad.”

Said the oldest Sylvia.

“We need to get him out of there.”

“No can do.”

Alec heard them and spoke.

“No one can leave the battlefield unless the 6 hours run out. That was the rule that they decided upon.”

“That’s right. Kane and Hal are on the verge of death, but they’re forced to stay on the battlefield. If we pull Krul out, won’t that be special treatment?”

Said Al-Shura.

“Shut up, you!”

Sophia shouted.

“You don’t even know why we want to pull Krul out!”

“That’s right! It’s for the sake of all of your protégés!”

Shouted Sylphy.

Sylvia glared at Alec.

“Alec, everyone else here are ignorant towards it but you should know about Krul’s true face.”

“Yeah, I know. I witnessed it a couple years ago after all.”

“Then why are you not taking our side?!”

Sylvia gritted her teeth.

“Are you trying to make Krul slaughter those children?!”

“Slaughter?”

Alec smiled.

“What is she talking about Alec?”

Kirika asked.

“She’s talking about Krulty.”

“Krulty?”

Alec nodded.

“Basically it’s Krul’s Dragna other personality.”

Alec laughed and the said-

“If he comes out, everyone down there, besides the Primus team, will die."
