When the altar changed , there was something engraved on it levin lean forward to read what it was and the sentence that was written on the altar was
"The wielder of this sword shall not bow in front of anyone , this isn't such a simple sword the person who wields this sword will become the master of this temple .The sword isn't a weapon it's a part of the swordsman's body . This sword may look ordinary but the truth is if you drop your blood on this sword it will release its power , but make sure to remember one thing this is a soul bound weapon and once you feed your blood to it , it will be bound to you forever and the power of this sword depends upon it's wielders soul , if the master of this sword becomes stronger than before then this weapon will grow along with him , remember one last thing that the person who wields this weapon will have to stand against the Fate".
Levin was so shocked that his eyes were wide and he kept his gaze on the sword , Levin was very happy and excited.
Inside his mind was racing the joy he was feeling was so much that he was barely controlling himself . Levin sighed and said ' I hit a jackpot'.
Levin read the sentence's on the altar carefully again and then glanced at the sword again , it literally was an ordinary sword , levin decided to to feed this sword his blood , Levin fed 3 drops of his blood to the sword .
The moment the blood touched the sword and slide down to the edge the sword changed it was changing and now in front of Levin there was a very beautiful sword the hilt of the sword turned black and the blade was bright red in colour .
Levin stepped forward and gripped the sword as soon as he came in contact with it he felt the power inside him increased 10 folds and something else too ,he couldn't explain what but he could feel it something inside his soul was changing , right now Levin was immersed inthe pleasure of getting strong .
Levin was so happy by this , he thought that the altar mentioned this weapon is linked to my soul which means only I can wield it .
Levin then looked up and glanced at the gigantic monsters still on knees he thought of something he had to leave this place he had no intention of moving forward , levin could see another door on the other side of hall , levin thought maybe that door leads to another hall and he had no intention of experiencing something like this again , levin knew he wasn't strong enough to challenge someone stronger than him so he had to become strong himself but first he had to leave this place , levin glanced around and then with the sword in his hands he said ' I wanna leave this place show me the way out'.
After a while one of the gigantic monsted stood up and moved go the very door Levin came in and he opened it easily , Levin didn't waste a single second and dashed towards the exit.
Levin felt so relieved when he stepped out from the temple , levin stared at the sky towards the moon and said ' beautiful '.
Levin turned around and glanced towards the door which was now closing for a while he just stared at it and then started walking toward the tiny hole he came through , it was time to go back but when Levin reached it he stopped , there were so many herbs and flower's in this place that were generating strong soul power he wanted to take a few because the whole area around the temple was filled with these flower's and herbs so levin plucked a total of 30 flowers and herbs and put them all in his torn robe and then placed it in the storage ring.
Levin bent down and was now crawling his way back and then he saw a bright light at the end of the narrow hole and he came out ,the first thing that came into view was the magical pond , levin quickly jumped in the water because he wanted to relax and the water of this pond was just the right thing he needed.
Levin closed his eyes and was resting the injuries he had from his last battle were almost healed and now he lnew he was weak , he had to become strong to stand against his enemies , from the last battle he learned , he has never focused on his defense and he was frustrated so now he would create a perfect defense spell fo himself.
Levin took out one of the herbs he plucked and ate it , the moment he ate he felt wvery part of his body filled with soul energy he never felt like this before so he focused on his soul cores and was now observing the flow of soul energy being slowly absorbed in him it took 30 minutes but when he was done he could feel it his soul was getting potent , but suddenly he saw something else a sword was imprinted on his soul cores, he understood that the sword was now completely bonded. with him .
Levin wanted to spend a day or two in here and then find his way toward the academy he didn't know how much time has passed so he wanted to continue this journey of his quickly, but what levin didn't know was that the outside would be in chaos when he comes out.
A person was seated on a throne in a vast chamber and three people were standing bowing their heads one of them said " My king we have sent our strongest people in search for them , they will come back with good news " , at which the king said " They better come with good news only 15 days are left until the orientation of Royal academy , I want the world to see we are still the strongest out of 10 families ".
King Adwerd signal them to dismissed but it was at that moment a voice came ' May I enter your majesty '. The king replied ' You may ' , the guards opened the door for him and the man walked straight his face was pale clearly indicating that the news wasn't good, the man braced himself and looked up and said ' My king i don't have good news ' at which the eyes of King Adwerd twitched slightly and said spill it ' his voice was cold at which the man who brought the news hesitated slightly and said "They all are dead when we reached near the forest there were only dead bodies of the people who went along with them and all of your children were dead too" .
After hearing what the man said the king was enraged and the atmosphere shifted completely in the chamber the king stood and said " Tell me how they died", his voice was so cold that the soldiers in the chamber were so afraid to speak thinking they all would die if they spoke , the pressure was so suffocating breathing air was becoming difficult but the man who brought the news said "My king lady Flora and lord Brad were burned alive as for lady Elenor her heart was pierced and the people of the order and holy santuary were dead too Sir Graham and Dante were beheaded , lady Veronica was also burned alive and as for Saintess Aira her heart was also pierced ".
This was all king needed to hear and then he snapped and in rage he said " Which bastard was it who has the audacity to stand against me find him no matter the cost ,because of some bastard now the power of our family will be decreased and the people will talk about us that our children were weak that they were not trained properly our image that we have created will be shattered find that person who killed my children and bring him in front of me so that I can make an example out of him that no one should stand against the rulers of this world".
The news of the deaths of their siblings was spreading like a wild fire everywhere , the kingdom that was beaming with life suddenly gets the shocking news every person was talking about the sudden death of the King's children , the heads of the the 10 families quickly came to the king after hearing about the deaths of his children .
The remaining 4 children were quite shocked when they heard the news , at first they all were happy to find out that they died and now the competition for becoming the throne's heir has decreased , but another thought took root in their minds ' who killed them and why did the kill them , what if the person who killed them came after us too this sudden realization horrified all the 4 children who were alive".
All the the heads of the 10 families were sitting across each other and each of them offer condolences to king Adwerd , after that he said ' Now to the main topic who killed my children , I know you people didn't but someone did not just my children but the Saintess , Graham ,Dante and Veronica they all were killed which means who ever killed them was very strong , they were not rebels who are active in our territories and that leaves only one thing , there is someone out there who is strong but we don't know who, when my people found the bodies they mentioned one thing that there was a house made of woods nearly at the entrance of the forest, which means the owner of the house must know who did that to my children , you all must make sure to guard your children only 14 days are left until the orientation of the Royal academy".
After the king finished speaking the one who spoke was the head of ' The order' his name was 'Riggs' he was one of the few people who wielded two elements ' Earth and Water' , he said " you are right we must first focus on the upcoming major event we can't make any mistakes the Royal academy is in Eldoria kingdom and the people of the other 3 kingdom's will also come into enroll we can't make any mistakes afterall it took alot of time to convince the people of other kingdoms to allow the Royal academy in Eldoria kingdom.
The prince and princess of their kingdom will also come to enroll so we have to make sure of their safety , it's for the future of mankind we don't want them to become enemies when we could use them for our purpose , we have to build a strong friendship between the kingdoms so we can learn their secrets .
Although they have refused to share their knowledge and their unique powers with us but we will make sure to learn each and everything about them slowly , we can't let them become stronger than us and this will require the help of every family make sure to tell your children that after the start of academy they must become friends with the prince or princess of the other 3 kingdoms.
The thing that matters is that we must succeed in our plan the methods doesn't matter's we will use them in a way they won't even notice slowly we will learn each and everything about them and then make their power ours only we 10 families are allowed to rule the world .
All the people on the table were laughing , they knew Riggs was an evil person he would do anything if he wants something but they all agreed with what Riggs said they also want to learn the unique powers of elves,dwarves and cultivators, they all wanted power , fame and wealth they didn't care about the weak all they want is to become the strongest force in the world and enslave the people of the world with their power for generations, but what they didn't know was that this greed of their will one day become their downfall.
