After Shad left with Nina to the deeper part of the Black Mist forest, eleven men in red cloaks led by a young man arrived at their previous location which caused a huge commotion even before appearing in front of the spectators.
The young man had the bearing of an emperor. He did not move quickly. However, the whole forest thumped with each of his steps. He was walking in a very particular rhythm, neither fast nor slow. His steps weren't loud either, but the spectators felt as if the whole forest was shaking and the trees prostrated themselves in his arrival.
The overwhelming pressure emanating from this young man's body was strong enough to suppress every single warrior and mage in the area. Whether high-level warrior or mage, all of them were affected.
" The Uncrowned Emperor...."
After seeing this young man, the onlooking warriors and mages changed their expressions.
After arriving in front of the disheveled man in the red cloak who had a trace of blood in his mouth, the young man gave him a disappointed glance before his eyes swept the surrounding people. They felt a chill after sensing his gaze. There was nothing but coldness in his eyes. His eyes were like a bottomless pool of darkness.
The young man didn't even bother to hide his overwhelming magic power and let it run rampant like an untamed and wild vicious ancient beast.
" Who is this?" Even those that had never seen the crown prince before was an awe of his majestic and wild magic power. Furthermore, even the most ignorant person in the crowd would know that this young man was very frightening. Alas, not all of them actually recognized him despite hearing about his legends.
" Didn't you hear, It's the Uncrowned Emperor you dumb ass." Whispered someone to those fools who did not recognize the God of the younger generation.
Listening to someone calling them dumb ass, they didn't dare to get mad or start a fight in front of the young man.
" His Highness the crown prince is truly terrifying." Commented a middle-aged man.
" Of course he is. Why do you think he is the head of the Seven Novas?. The so-called Imperial Freak is nothing compared to him " Replied a young man with a prideful look on his face. Even a fool would realize that this young man was from the Draco empire from the way he was talking and looking at the Uncrowned Emperor. There was nothing but reverence and worship in his eyes, It was as though he was looking at his idol or a god.
"Ohhh, What is the 7 Novas you are talking about." Asked the same middle-aged who has just commented on how powerful the Uncrowned Emperor was.
" Were you living under a rock or a cave that you even don't know what the 7 Novas is?" Answered the young man with a trace of disdain in his eyes while he was looking at the middle-aged man.
Nonetheless, he still explained what the 7 Novas was. " The 7 Novas are the 7 Most powerful and outstanding Younger generations in the Egul Continent. They are all below the age of 25 but they had all broken through the rank of senior mage or mid-level warrior long ago. they have the power to jump rank and challenge opponent that is a rank higher than them. It used to be six but now it's seven with the appearance of that so-called Imperial freak. Furthermore, his Highness the Uncrowned Emperor is the strongest of them all."
While many people were whispering and talking about that young man, He slowly walked towards the disheveled man in the red cloak and coldly asked. " Dragon Horn, who did this to you. From the look of it, none of the surrounding people are strong enough to hurt you."
Listening to the Uncrowned Emperor, the surrounding people couldn't help but held their breaths. With just a swept of his gaze, it seemed like the Uncrowned Emperor had already checked their level of power and concluded that they couldn't harm the man known as Dragon Horn.

" It's the 4th Imperial prince of the Djage Empire." Answered Dragon Horn while lowering his head as he was ashamed. As one of the members of the 12 Dragon Pillars, his defeat meant the defeat of his young master as they represent him wherever they go.
" The so-called Imperial Freak, but why," Asked the Uncrowned Emperor while he narrowed his eyes.
" The girl, it seemed like the girl is one his subordinates. Also, he told me that if you dare to make a move against her in the future, you will have to deal with him." Answered Dragon Horn respectfully.
" Shad." As soon as he heard those words, the atmosphere around him completely changed. His eyes radiated a frightening hellish red light, like the crimson fire of hell with an immeasurable sharpness, seemingly able to tear apart the world. Even the people standing behind him had to take three steps back, not to mention Dragon Horn that was in front of him and the surrounding people.
The surrounding people did not receive this fierce glare directly but they felt as though their legs went numb and unable to move a muscle. As cold sweats dripped down their bodies, they finally realized that the young man known as the Uncrowned Emperor was a horror and more terrifying than they thought.
Without even hearing the whole story, The Uncrowned Emperor already had a general idea about everything that went down just now between Dragon Horn, Nina, and the Imperial Freak. Also, if he wanted, he could just make Dragon Eyes used his unique ability to extract the general scene of the events which had just occurred in this place.
One of the thing that Drake hated the most was being threatened, Yet, the so-called imperial freak dared to threaten him through his subordinates in front of a group of people.
" Where did he go?" He asked with a serious expression on his face.
Even though he was very angry that Shad had threatened him, At this moment, Drake was wondering whether Shad knew that Nina was one of the last living descendant of Henry and was able to translate the book or the dairy left behind him after his death and if that was the case, did Nina had already translated the content of the book to shad. As one of the imperial princes of the Djage Empire, Drake knew that Shad was aware of Henry and his tales more than some people.
He was someone that even a 9th rank warrior or mage was afraid of and his skills could be described into one word, Godly. Also, Drake began to suspect that the fact that Shad was able to use the lightning energy freely without the need to cast the magic spell was in fact related to that book. He was convinced of this and was more determined to catch that girl and get his hands on that secret.
" He left that way." Answered Dragon Horn while pointing his finger in the direction where they went.
" Your Highness what about Viper, you were supposed to meet him today." Asked one of the men in the red cloaks. He could feel that his young master wanted to chase after them which was unwise. Right now, they were in the territory of the Djage Empire, it would be unwise to cause trouble to one of the imperial princes there in their own territory. Although this place was very close to the Nicholas Empire, and his highness could always go there if something went wrong but it was safer not to antagonized the 4th prince in his own territory. Not that he was afraid that his Highness could not deal with his young man, but there might be an old monster protecting this guy in secret because, among all the children of the current emperor, his talent for magic was the highest.
" Viper, that cunning little guy." Murmured the crown prince with a slight smile on his face.
Just like him, Viper was one of the 7 Novas of this generation. Also, unlike the Uncrowned Emperor who relied on his strength and strength alone to prove himself and crushed all of his opponents and became the crown prince of the Draco Empire and gained the support all of the Nobles families within the empire as they were afraid of offending a future Archmage, Viper used schemes and all sorts of underhanded methods to gain his reputation.
The name viper brought fear to many people. Even though many people knew who he was but not many people dared to call him that way as he despised that nickname. Furthermore, unlike the 7 Novas, Viper's strength wasn't really monstrous. He was known for his never-ending schemes and cunning heart.
" Dragon Fang, Dragon Claw, I want you two to tail the 4th imperial and see what he is up too." He said before he left.
The reason the crown prince sent two of his strongest subordinates to follow shad instead of retrieving the girl because he wanted to confirm something. If Henry had really left a treasure into the Black Mist Forrest, Shad was the one to most likely find it and if he did, he would prove that Nina had really deciphered the content of that book to Shad.
" Oh Yeah, Dragon scale, when we get to his place, do not call the 3rd imperial prince of the Nicholas empire Viper because he hates that nickname, Only I can call him that without him getting mad." The Crown prince reminded one of his subordinates on the way as they were getting out the Black Mist Forest.
