"Gemini!!" roared the Star Spirit Capricorn furiously.
The Star Spirit broke up the stables and raised his hand in anger. After traveling a long way under the harsh rainstorm for a month, he fell into the dung pile at the end of his journey. Even the most tolerant person will also be furious at this situation.
Just as Capricorn wants to rush toward the mischievous Gemini, bright light illuminates the area. *Crack* *BANG* *BBZZTTT* A moment later, the goat Star Spirit electrocuted continuously under the lightning bolt until he turned into a charred mess.
Usually, he could easily detect and avoid the lightning bolt. However, he was consumed by anger and too emotional to notice the danger. By the time he realized the situation, the lightning bolt had already struck down upon him.
Fortunately, Capricorn is a powerful Star Spirit and this kind of attack is nothing to him. Still, he couldn't ignore the pain of being electrocuted all over his body.
"Did we get him?" asked Gemis.
"He seems alive." replied Gemin.
"Should we..." said Gemis.
"Alright, that's enough. Don't mess around. I don't think he came with bad intentions." said King Leon, grabbing the Twin Gemini.
King Leon couldn't stay idle anymore. Otherwise, a battle between the two Star Spirits would break between them and destroy the area. A single meteorite summoned by the Twin could ruin the entire Frostfall.
Furthermore, the people of Everwhite also live on the city periphery. No magical barrier protects them from such a devastating air attack.
A few moments later, the Twin Gemini finally calmed down under King Leon and Duchess's persuasion. The Star Spirit Capricorn is also no longer furious under the care of Otebon and the others.
"Welcome to the Heart Kingdom. First of all, thank you for your help in subduing the War God Temple." greeted King Leon politely.
Faced with a powerful Star Spirit, King Leon didn't dare adopt his usual cold, arrogant attitude, as it might offend him.
"No worries. It is already our obligation to eliminate such an abomination. Those pretentious Gods like to play with dangerous stuff they don't understand. Besides, even if I don't make a move, Gem will also eliminate them." said Capricorn calmly.
'He is very sociable, as the rumor says.' thought King Leon, ignoring Capricorn's remark about Gods.
"Understood. Anyway, what is the purpose of Master Capricorn coming here?" asked King Leon politely.
King Leon could guess some reasons for the Star Spirit's arrival. However, he still needs to ensure it in person. Worse, he needs to let the Twin Gemini go back.
"Ahh.. Yes. You could just call me Capricorn or Cap like the others. As you know, Gem is coming out to investigate the anomaly. They should report to us periodically. However, they seem... to forget about it." said Capricorn after being glared by the Twin from King Leon's shoulder.
"I am sorry for such an inconvenience." said King Leon.
"Oh.. No worries. No worries... It is also part of our negligence." replied Capricorn politely.
While the two exchange pleasantries, the Twin Gemini glares at Capricorn from King Leon's shoulder.
"Alright, there is no need to continue investigating this place. Gem, I think you should return with me." Capricorn said.
"No way!!" replied the Twin Gemini bluntly.
"Anything?!" asked Duchess Amberblaze in confusion.
The twins nodded solemnly without changing their creepy smiling faces.
"Alright, let's forget about this matter. I believe Master Mira will not harm us... for now." said King Leon.
After interacting with Mira a few times, King Leon knows a little about her. Basically, she is a lonely overpower being without a match. All she did was just to relieve her boring life.
'If she wanted to destroy the Heart Kingdom or possibly the world, she could have done it long ago. However, it will only leave her with a more boring life. I assume she just wants to watch something interesting from us like those so-called Gods.' thought King Leon.
As a seventh grade, King Leon understood the worldview of those powerful beings. For them, those people below seventh grade were like ants that could effortlessly pinch to death anytime.
They will never bother themselves with such an insignificant being. It is not only a waste of time but also energy. Still, that doesn't mean they will tolerate everything.
When the ants come to annoy or bite them, they may destroy it or clear the whole nest. In summary, as long as no one provokes them, they will not bother the lower being.
Two weeks passed quietly. During these weeks, the master dwarves studying Gaia Secret Art also left one by one. Only a few who had a good relationship with King Leon were willing to stay.
The other Star Spirits are also not bothering Gemini anymore. Except for the small conflict with the people from Everwhite, there are no other big incidents across the Heart Kingdom. For the time being, the kingdom is entering another peaceful year.
At the same time, the Heart Kingdom is also looking forward to the national-wide Knight Competition. Although there is no official announcement, most Heart Knights have known about this news since last year.
They have long prepared for this event to shine and change their lives. It is rumored that notable participants may be granted Baron noble rank.
Although the Baron's noble rank may be the lowest among the nobles, it is still given a lot of privilege since the Heart Kingdom follows an aristocratic system.
Furthermore, noble ranks could have their own small private army under them. This authority is definitely better than having a higher military rank. Though some restrictions exist for the lower noble rank, it is still better than nothing.
Besides noble rank, the participant may also get a chance to rise to a higher military rank and get in the eyes of the higher noble. There is also a good prize reward for the winner and notable participant. Unfortunately, no one knows about the real prize reward.
Some say it is a rare material or high-quality magic weapon. While others said it is an artifact. A lot of exaggerated rumors spread around to arouse the public.
In the meantime, a strong tremor and thunderous sound could be heard inside the Victory Manor training ground. Currently, Angus and his friend are having a friendly spar.
*BZZTT* *BOOOM* Lightning bolts discharged and came towards Angus. Before they touched him, a metallic rod appeared not far away [1st Circle—Metal Rod].
The lightning bolts suddenly turn and hit the metallic rod, dispersing all their power to the ground. The two white lions weren't surprised at their failed attack coming towards Angus. On the other hand, Angus also didn't stay idle.
A red magic circle shines before him and releases a vast amount of red-colored oil toward them [2nd Circle - Fire Oil]. Facing the familiar spell, the two white lions decisively stop and dodge the oil substance.
Their experience with Angus' battle tactic makes them fear confronting this Fire Oil. During this time, an enormous lightning and earth elemental gathered on Axel. He tapped the ground, making the whole training ground muddy. [Elemental Spirit - Thunder Swam Tortoise].
*ROOARR* A huge tortoise-bearing swarm rises from the ground on its back. A lightning spark can be seen from the muddy swarm.
'This... It's large-scale magic!!' thought Angus inwardly.
Noticing the troublesome lightning elemental in the Thunder Swarm, Angus flew in the air while elemental wind covered his body. [3rd Circle—Fly] [2nd Circle—Tailwind]. A faint green light covered Angus' body and increased his flying speed.
