Three of them immediately treated and greeted Garen as the same position as their teacher after Ivycius explained everything to them.
Although the trio didn’t possess Beckstone’s gifted rapid growth, all of them were more advantageous than the typical totem users.
They had the ability of Crowd Control.
They could only inherit Ivycius’s extraordinary Sword Art if they possessed such a gift. They would be able to control countless Petal Totems and attack the enemies simultaneously.
Compared to Garen, who had been a mere commoner without any gift, he was incompetent as compared to these gifted totem users. If not for his Secret Techniques and his memories from the previous world, he would probably still be working his way into form 2.

What is the status of the current situation?
Ivycius asked.
The trio was stunned and then understood that the relationship between Garen and their master was beyond their comprehension, as they noticed that their master didn’t intend to betray Garen. Then, they no longer held back and reported everything they knew.

There is still no news underneath the palace temple. However, multiple high magnitude earthquakes have occurred and the Defense Tactic Formation in the sky had turned red. We still have no idea who had activated the Kingdom’s Defense System.
Lily responded immediately.
My sister and I had gone inside to investigate and found out that both Grand Dukes had arrived before us. After we had picked up the corpse of the subordinates inside, we planned to seek for you.


Change of plans. I will go and meet both of the Grand Dukes in person. You should stay here Ivy.
Garen voiced out.

I will go with you.


Your injuries haven’t recovered yet. If you come with me you’ll be in my way.
Garen’s straightforwardness had caused the trio to feel unhappy.

Alright then. Be careful.
The trio was stunned as they didn’t expect their master Ivycius to not refute Garen’s intention and merely nod his head.
The arrogant and proud Ivycius, the White Rose Sword Sage who had been famous for the past centuries as one of the three most gifted people in the Royal Alliance, didn’t even defend himself or hesitate when Garen said that he would only be in his way.
It was obvious that there was only one reason for this — That was that Palace Master Garen’s strength had far surpassed or was at the same level as their teacher.
Garen pondered for a while.

You should take this opportunity to capture Beckstone and his men. They had been poisoned by my poisonous smoke so they shouldn’t have escaped far from here.


No problem.
Ivycius nodded his head. As they were on their way here, Garen had already told him where Beckstone would most likely head towards to.
After Garen had given his orders, he stared at the central region of the palace from afar and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared without making any noise.
His terrifying speed was revealed and this stunned the three disciples. It was then they knew how terrifyingly powerful the rumored and famed Ninehead Demon Dragon was.
As he was getting close to the temple palace, an ominous presence appeared quickly from below.
Boom!!!
A stream of black chain burst out from the ground and flew towards the sky.
The came the second one, a third one, a fourth one!!
In a blink of an eye, dozens of black chains soared towards the sky and some of then even pierced through the palace temples. There were people who didn’t manage to evade in time and was split into half by the chains.
Screams of horror could be heard everywhere.
Boom!!
A man covered in black gas came out of the ground. Without the interference of the Magic Array, he directly went towards the west side of the Kingdom.

Stop!!

The deep tone of an old man came from the Palace.
A line of white thread was shot up into the sky, heading towards the human figure.
The human figured let out a sigh and blocked the white thread as he avoided it around his body. Then, a mushroom-like cloud appeared in the middle of the sky.
Countless of black chains soared into the sky as they went after this person. All of the chains disappeared as they entered her body.
As she was about to escape, four yellow light formations in the shape of a shield appeared around her body. The formation was densely filled with Tactic symbols, so dense that it couldn’t be read properly as they moved about in the shields.
Then, these four yellow shield started to rotate rapidly around her.

Greater Imprisonment Tactic!? It’s you, Cody!
The woman in the sky shouted. Blood started to flow out of the skin on her entire body, caused by the bursting of capillaries under the skin when exposed to intense high pressure.
Before she had managed to finish her sentence, her body glowed green and she escaped the light shield in an instance, soaring away immediately.

The Distorted Beads? The Original Heirloom!?
You’re God Cloud!
Two surprised tones could be heard from below.
Garen, who originally planned to check on the status of His Majestic Avic was stunned as he heard the word Original Heirloom.

How dare you assassinate His Majesty Avic! God Cloud, you’re literally seeking death!!
He roared as he flew into the sky towards God Cloud, as a black formation flashed underneath his feet.

I will kill you in place of the Geometry Department!!

Garen shouted as he tailed God Wind closely from behind.
God Cloud was once in the Geometry Department and eventually betrayed them and joined the Hellgate, so it wasn’t wrong for him to say such a statement. It was just rather strange that he would go after him the moment the word Original Heirloom was stated out.
Both of them flew far away and she could still faintly hear Garen’s voice.

God Cloud you bitch, don’t run away from me. We will fight fair and square and God will decide who’s the victor!!

Garen’s shamelessness had risen to another level as the Grand Dukes watched from below.
Both of them were not used to the style of not letting their enemy escape and survive.
At this point in time, God Cloud was already heavily injured beyond comprehension. Even if he had the Distorted Beads, he would most likely not stand a chance against Garen, who was at the peak of form four. If he were to fight him
fair and square
there wouldn’t be any chance of letting God deciding the fate of their battle…
Both of them hesitated but they didn’t expect Garen to be the first one to chase after him and felt rather angry towards him. This was the best chance to obtain the Original Heirloom Distorted Beads.
Without any hesitation, both of them showcased their strength as both of them stepped onto an invisible single eyed creature and flew towards Garen and God Cloud.
The Royal Household was only one of the noble households in the Kingdom. However, whoever managed to obtain the Original Heirloom Distorted Beads could possibly be crowned as the next generation of the Royal Household.
In this situation, no one would care whether Avic was still alive underground and three of them tailed behind God Cloud.
Avic’s loyal experts fought God Cloud and both parties were heavily injured. Hence this was the crucial moment for them to secure a victory.
A few thousand kilometers had passed while the four of them were in their pursuit.
As they flew across the Kingdom, four distinct lines could be seen in the sky. There were two streaks of black lines, a white one and a yellow one each and all of them possessed immense, unrestricted pressure.
Garen was barely able to catch up due to the impulse force that he’d created originally but as the distance grew further, his disadvantage started to become more and more obvious.
Without any specialized flying equipment and by relying upon only the Black Light Formation Ring from the Secret Service, he would not be able to tail her without his strong force.
On the other hand, both of the Grand Dukes caught up to him and surpassed him in an instant.
Garen once had a unique Black Crow Formation Heirloom but it had broken, resulting in him not being able to fight properly in the sky.
During this pursuit, he was only relying on his body’s strength and speed. No matter how strong his body was, he couldn’t compare with a flying equipment in terms of endurance.
He could only rely on his strength to fly in the sky and would occasionally descend. His path was literally parabolic.
The remaining three, however, were flying in a straight line and it took no time for them to surpass him.

God Cloud! Is the Marshall of the Obscuro Society good at running away!!
As he knew that he couldn’t catch up with him, Garen immediately shouted at him.
God Cloud heard him and started to laugh. Her pursuers were three form four totem users. It would still be manageable if her original body was here but the current body was a heavily injured substitute. In addition to that, she also had the Obscuro Society’s Original Heirloom and would be in great trouble if she were to lose it.
Although she didn’t obtain Avic’s Original Heirloom, she had already completed half of the plan. Once Avic died Kovitan would have no elites supporting their defense lines, as she had lured the elites away from the Kingdom. Once the overall setup was complete, no matter how strong the RAL was they would need years to recover back to their original strength.
Furthermore, it would be too difficult to produce another Avic.
Within a short amount of time, if the three plans towards the three major countries in the Eastern Continent were to be a success, it would be too late to control the situation even if the Elder Parliament were to find out.
Up in front was where the creatures resided and God Cloud didn’t dare to go there alone as these creatures would attack anyone on sight. She turned left and flew towards another direction.

God Cloud, hand over the Distorted Beads and we would let go of your substitute body today.
Grand Duke Benoc shouted.

There’s only one Distorted Beads, who should I pass it to?
God Cloud laughed.

You still dare to fool around!
Cody smiled coyly as he pointed her with his fat finger.
Four yellow shields appeared in the sky once again and started to surround God Cloud as they rotated.
The Distorted Beads activated once more and a green light flashed. God Cloud continued flying away but her skin started to turn red as if it was scrapped off by a metal brush.
Garen glared fiercely.
As he looked at the three of them getting further and further away from him, he knew that he could no longer catch up with them. He now knew how useful a flying heirloom was.
Even with the Blackcrow King, he might not be able to match with their speed as well.
An heirloom could increase a totem user’s speed based on the original strength of the totem user. If only he had an heirloom.

It’s unfortunate…
under this hopeless situation, he turned around and went back to the Kingdom.
In the history, this countless attack from the creatures would break the defensive line so he had to quickly go back and help out his relatives.
Although he couldn’t change the history this time, he had obtained countless resources from Avic as the Black Fire Palace Master. The Black Fire Guards could even heavily injure two form four totem users and this was considered a powerful strength. Within the form four totem users, excluding the type which had incredible recovery skills like him and the unique ones who stood at the top of the form four, the rest would consider making a move towards the Black Fire Guards.
Garen had learned how to resupply the Black Fire Guards from Avic. Garen was the only one who stood on top of the command chain for the Black Fire Guards due to the Green Vine Sphere.
After a few upgrades from the Royal Alliance’s technology, the technology towards the Green Vine Sphere was very matured.
As he battled with Ivycius and had the opportunity to witness the strength of a form five, he had no regret even though he couldn’t change the history.
As he returned, he wondered if he could obtain other good items from Avic as he had provided a great amount of assistance.
