Chapter 564 561:Coming Out



Channelling a bit of magic,he concentrated on his foot,compressed the magic then released it all at once.

That was it.With that much magic,the explosion of compressed magic propelled him forward.

Grunting in pain,he moved forward leaving behind after images.The area left behind him was destroyed and a line of destruction was left behind.

"Come here!"

The boy heard the call and tiptoed obediently.

BAAANG!

OUCH!

He quivered in pain as his master hit his head with a chop,glaring at him with anger.

"What?"

"See that!"

Kevin looked at the destroyed surroundings caused by his newly invented Dancing Steps.

"Your mana control is not good.Use your mana efficiently.Don't show off too much."

Hestia advised Kevin.

Within five years of their stay,the boy before her has grown from a cute kid to handsome gentleman.She was quite satisfied with her growth.

"You are already strong enough.Should we leave."

Kevin's body froze on hearing her words.

"I have just reached Transcendent rank.The people guarding outside are all at high level.I can't defeat them.Otherwise,I would have already left the place."Kevin muttered shaking his head.

He already started to feel this place suffocating.He needs to temper himself with real battle and experience outside to broaden his horizon but he was too weak.

Without his master to accompany him,he didn't know what would happen to him.

Noticing his sullen expression,Hestia comforted him"Don't worry.I will take care of them."

"If we kill them,we will alert the capital,"Kevin answered.

"We will not kill them.I have my own way."Hestia assured.

For the next few days,Kevin prepared himself mentally and physically to leave the place.

The entrance to the outside might be guarded heavily by knights.

Packing everything,Hestia and Kevin stepped outside.

Kevin could feel a change in the layer of mana.Although the mana inside was dense for certain areas it was not abundant as the outside world.

As they transverse outside,Kevin felt slight movements from outside.Hestia smiled and snapped his fingers after which the guards walking outside fell down into deep slumber.

Kevin stared at her disbelief.All of them seemed to be highly trained guards but all of them were taken down with just a snap.

With Hestia guiding him,they were able to sneak out of the mausoleum quite easily hiding from everyone's eyesight.

The Castle was heavily guarded but Hestia walked through them casually.

After they came out,the first thing Kevin saw was an old poster over the wall where various announcements were made.

Kevin noticed a familiar image and his eyes widened seeing his poster.

He didn't really believe what people said.Most of the people were insensitive to people's feelings.

Whether they like or hate me,it didn't hurt him so much like the things written on the posters.

Hestia saw a surge of inner turmoil in Kevin's emotions and read the contents.

The Fourth Consort was found to commit adultery with the servant.To the hide the fact,she had killed herself.The Sixth Prince had been on run after trying to kill Empress.He had been charged with treason.Anyone having any information about him would be awarded with 10000 gold coins.

Kevin gritted his teeth to the point blood oozed out from his gums.

It was okay if people said nasty things to him and pointed fingers at him but pointing fingers at her mother who had already died and can't fight back…

"Just...Just how low are all you going to fall?"

They might have searched for him desperately,but unable to find him,they might have resorted to such dirty tricks to draw him out.

"Kevin,calm down."Hestia wrapped her arms around him and consoled.

"Your day will come.Just be strong."

"Some people just don't know when to stop.For likes of them,we don't need to waste our breath.Just give them a severe blow when the time comes."

She then glanced at the poster with a chill.In her eyes all these people are already dead.

Seeing her disciple's bad mood,she decided that she had to do her job as a master well.

"Don't be this nuisance any more.Let's get out of the capital.I don't like this place."

........

Exiting Zenith,they first tour around Chelsea.Kevin's gloomy aura flared by more as they visited Holy land so she changed her destination and moved towards the Lock hearts.

Someone like them found it hard to enter the street,but Hestia drew too much attention.Some nobles even tried to get Hestia to accompany her but that didn't end up well.

Assuming commoner identity they registered as mercenaries and started travelling.

Clearing missions,Kevin rose up in ranks quite easily.His strength also grew stronger as if he put himself to a great risk.

Much more than others,he was quite dedicated to becoming stronger.

He was a lonely introvert,who could only talk freely with Hestia and was not good with strangers.On the other hand,Hestia was very much free spirited and could approach others easily.

He did not know when but he started to feel jealous over her.There were many who tried to hit on her only to end up getting hit by him.

"Disciple, it's improper to have thought about your teacher."

"Still,it's better to confess then leave regrets behind.''Hestia teased Kevin.

"I don't have such a thought but if I ever did,I will make sure to confess to you grandly even if I am not capable enough to get accepted.''Kevin spoke with a straight face bluntly causing Hestia to become flustered.

From teacher disciple,they became best friends.Hestia liked flowers so in his free time Kevin would weave tassels for her.

After Kevin would return from the mission,Hestia used to go on a walk into the woods,talking about the stories in the book she had read during his absence with excitement.

There were times when Hestia would get angry then nothing could solve it.Kevin would just have to coax her.

From a teen,Kevin grew up to a young adult.

From a pitiful boy now,he had become a force to contend with.Standing at the top of Legendary rank,Kevin instead of doing missions went on the pursuit of challenging the people on the Continental list.

His never ending pursuit of power did not let him slack off as he moved from one place to another.

Hestia would accompany him and cheer for him.

Dyeing his hair in red and wearing a mask,he went on undefeated to the top of the list.

The name of Red Dragon started to spread all over the world .People started to search for him and wanted to pull him to their side but no one was able to find any sign of him except during the matches.

At the rocky cannon in between the borders of Kinley and Harold.

Two people stood on the hills facing each other.There was a deep tension in the air.

"Do you have a grudge against Kinley?"

"Why do all the fighters from Kinley end up in such a wretched state?"

"Crown Prince of Harold,I think it's better if you keep your curiosity to yourself."

Kevin, disguised as Red Dragon, stared at the Avalon Harold,and snorted.

"You don't need to know that."

"Why don't you join us?We will try our best to help you in your grievance."

"Do you take me as a fool?"Kevin snorted.

"Hushhh...Then,you can only blame yourself for missing this opportunity."

"Then let's make a bet.The loser has to accept one request from the winner."

"Ehh!"Kevin nodded slightly.

"Your winning streak is going to end now."

"You are not the first one to say this to me."Kevin chuckled.

A moment of silence lingered for a moment.

Avalon was conflicted seeing the change in Kevin's aura.

Taking up a moment to size up one another,both of them drew their sword.

A second later,their image flickered,disappearing from the spot they stood.

BOOOOM!

Magic energy clashed against one another.

As the compressed energy exploded,a shock wave radiated from one.

After a series of clashes one after another,Avalon decides to draw back.

"Kuhhh!"

Avalon grunt in pain as the tip of Kevin's blade caressed his skin.

Has he ever felt such a disparity in strength?

No never..so why...

A person at mid of Mythic rank was pushing him at the peak of Mythic rank who would soon become a Saint to the limit.

This was absurd.

That's what he thought when the opponent's sword cut at him again.

Compressing his magic and exploding at the right moment, Kevin propelled himself forward.

After exchanging many blows,Avalon found that the main way to handle mana was horrifying.

"Playtime is over."

Like a slap,the words struck Avalon.

The aura around Kevin changed.The frenzied power inside Kevin started shrinking and compressed in his body 

Swish!

Like a line drawn on blank canvas,everything around Avalon turned white except a golden drawn over the surface.

Everything before him was obliterated and his consciousness faded with it.

When he opened his eyes again,he saw a sword pointing on his neck and two golem eyes from the mask staring down at him.

"I have won.So,keep your promise."
