'Boom'
When the lightning spear touched the huge dark shield in front of the sect leader Gerg, it led to a huge explosion that made the sect leader Gerg fly into the distance.
If not for the barrier which was meant to stop masked young men from escaping from this place, it was unknown how much distance the sect leader Gerg would have been thrown.
'Cough'
Only when they heard the sect leader Gerg cough, they knew that he was still alive.
"Such a powerful attack."
"iIs it because of the lightning in the sky?"
King Stephen and the sect leaders from the two other sects were shocked after seeing such a powerful attack.
They guessed that the sudden increase in Cerauno's strength was because of the lightning in the sky.
'Is it still not enough to kill him?'
As for Ajax, he was a little disappointed when he saw that the sect leader Gerg was still alive.
'But, at least, he was severely injured. As long as Cerauno's cultivation increased a little bit along with the increment in his law, Cerauno could alone kill the sect leader Gerg.'
However, after today, Ajax got a rough understanding of the power levels of the sect leaders of the Zrochester province.
"I think it's time to leave."
Initially, Ajax wanted to ask Cerauno to use the same skill one more time to kill the sect leader Gerg; however, he noticed that Cerauno looked tired.
So, Ajax thought, he should leave.
"Everyone, come back."
As soon as he had that thought, he summoned back everyone into his inner world and looked at the sect leader Gerg in the distance before saying, "I will take care of you another day."
Even though his words were purely for the sect leader Gerg, everyone thought he was saying those words to them.
"Kid, even though you have some powerful elemental spirits, you can't leave unless you have my permission."
When he heard Ajax's earlier words, Ketrok scoffed at him before and said those words.
That's right!
It was Ketrok who cast the barrier that can stop anyone from leaving this place. So, he was very confident that unless he removed the barrier, Ajax couldn't leave this place.
"Do you know, if I want to leave, no one can stop me?"
Since Ajax got the system's confirmation that he could leave this world anytime he wanted, he lazily replied to the fire sword sect leader.
"Huh?"
Hearing those words, Ketrok frowned and looked at the five old men beside him and said, "Since he summoned back all his elemental spirits. Let's kill him."
Until now, they didn't see Ajax fight and with Ajax's cultivation of level 2 general realm, they were very confident in killing him.
So, they rushed towards him to kill him.
'System, open the portal to the five elemental world.'
As for Ajax, he didn't worry he would be killed by the sect leaders because he knew he could escape in time.
"Stop."
All of a sudden, King Stephen appeared in front of Ketrok and the five old men and asked them to stop.
"Your majesty, what happened?"
They were confused at the sudden appearance of the king in front of them and asked him.
"Wait for a second. You will know."
King Stephen didn't explain them; instead, he looked at Ajax before asking, "Young man, I apologize to you for our earlier behaviour."
'What?'
When they heard those words, the sect leaders were shocked.
"Even though there are not many valuable cultivation resources in this province, I will fulfil all your requests as long as it is within my capability on one condition."
The sect leaders' shock didn't last for much longer because they finally understood what Stephen was planning and waited to know whether what they thought was right or not.
"And what is that?"
Ajax already had a rough understanding of the royal family and its work. Still, he asked what the condition was.
"You need to join my royal family as the guest cultivator."
Soon, Stephen revealed the condition with a slight smile on his face.
'That's it. As long as this young man joins the royal family, the sects can't overthrow the royal family'
'What should we do?'
As for the sect leaders, they were becoming anxious as they looked at the masked young man fearing that he might agree with him.
"Haha...a little royal family wants me to join them? What a joke!"
Even though it was tempting, Ajax suppressed his emotions and looked at Stephen and while laughing, he mocked him and his family.
Since everyone was thinking that he came from a greater world, Ajax acted like one.
At the same time, there was a bad reputation for the royal family that it would manipulate its guest cultivators into becoming the servants of the royal family.
"What did you say?"
Stephen Draton didn't like when someone mocks his family and when he heard Ajax's words, he became angry as he released his cultivation pressure.
Compared to the sect leaders, Stephen Draton's cultivation was even more powerful, making Ajax suffocate a little.
"I said, your family is not worth a thing in his family."
Even though he said that in front of Stephen, inside his heart, he thought, 'After six days, I will come back to your sacred pool.'
Since Ajax was ranked first in the 'Champions' contest, the royal family had rewarded him with an entry into their sacred pool for a week.
According to the system's suggestion, it was a good thing for his summons to enter the sacred pool. So, he decided to enter it, which will be open in six days.'
"I am going to kill you today no matter what."
After saying that, King Stephen rushed towards him with incredible speed.
"System, hurry up."
Ajax urged the system to open the portal to the five elemental world.
'Swoosh'
As soon as he urged the system, a huge portal appeared behind Ajax.
"If you want to fight, you can come to my world. I will take good care of you."
After finishing his words, Ajax jumped into the portal.
'What?'
'How can he open a portal when my barrier is still active.'
'Unless he opened a portal to his world.'
When they saw Ajax jump into a portal, all the sect leaders were shocked because when Ketrok's barrier was in active use, they couldn't even open any portals with the help of the talismans.
However, when one of the old men said that the portal was for another world, everyone understood that it was a portal to a greater world.
'Damn it'
As for Stephen Draton, he stopped right in front of the portal and looking at it, he cursed Ajax.
Even though he was very eager to enter a greater world, he didn't want to enter the portal because of Ajax's last words before jumping into the portal.
If he entered the portal and appeared in that masked young man's place, then only death awaits him.
So, he controlled his urge to enter the portal and shouted into it.
'Today is a very unlucky day for us.'
'Phew...at least that young man didn't join the royal family.'
The sect leaders whispered to themselves and looked at Stephen with controlled laughter.
