"Umm? Why are we here?" Shin questioned looking towards Mike who was standing in front of the gates of the kingdom of the undead.

"I just wanted to check out This kingdom. Some of our reports say that this kingdom is very powerful but their motives clash with ours. And apparently, their king can't come out due to some kind of curse."

"But their armies are still causing trouble. Anyways I will deal with them later." As soon as Shin heard these words he was giving Mike the look of ' Are you an idiot.' After all, he told the details which seemed to be very important to a stranger.

"What?" And just as Shin was mocking Mike inwardly a thought suddenly entered his mind. 'What if...?'

"Wait so you need to defeat this kingdom right, are you strong enough?"  Shin asked raising one of his eyebrows to which Mike started to chuckle.

"You are asking me whether I'm strong enough? I can easily defeat this kingdom if I want to. Ain't I awesome" 

As soon as Shin heard these words he looked at Mike with disdain. Even if he admitted that Mike was very strong it was never good to underestimate your opponent.

"I don't believe that you are strong enough to take on this whole Kingdom on your own."

"I am because I'm the great Mike."

"Still not so convincing." Suddenly Mike Smirked.

"I know what you are trying to do. Make me fight the kingdom and defeat the king right? And since you have questioned my greatness I will prove to you that I can do what I said."

"I'll be the judge of that," Shin said with a smirk as he successfully lured Mike into doing what he wanted to.

But before they would even enter the kingdom suddenly the ground beneath them started to shake.

"Did you know earlier that there were these skeleton soldiers underground?"Shin asked as he became serious. Mike just nodded his head with a cheeky smile.

Shin gritted his teeth as he looked toward the soldiers that sprung out of the ground.

Even though it seemed like they had flesh Shin knew it was just a mere illusion. 

And he didn't bother to use any skill that would just waste his energy. He directly used bloody crunch.

Shin's fangs turned blood red and they became a bit longer and sharper.

He was ready to defeat these skeleton soldiers but suddenly his body froze.

And that was because of the aura these soldiers were releasing.

'What the hell!' Shin exclaimed in his mind. Within their aura, it felt as if breathing too was becoming difficult.

He helplessly looked towards these soldiers who dashed toward him, Orion and Mike.

Shin felt as if this was the time to go but then...

Booooooommmmm!

The space itself shook in terror. Everything became dark,  as the sound of something cracking continued echoing.

Suddenly they all could see everything and the light that had engulfed them... Was in the darker shades of purple which were being released by the cracks.

And for some reason... This scenery looked very beautiful.

And the space filled with cracks was slowly descending towards the skeletons.

Even though this was what would cause their end, they felt mesmerized looking at it. As if it was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen.

Suddenly everything became dark once again before Shin could again see what was happening.

And it seemed like they were back in the original place, in front of the large gates of the kingdom.

"Ain't I too great," Mike said with a sly grin.

Suddenly he delta a strong aura that was being released from the gates of the kingdom.

He quickly turned his head to see the source of this aura and spotted a skeleton with a scary presence.

The skeleton was wearing very sturdy-looking armor with a great sword on his back which was thrice the size of Mike.

"Hmm, he can manipulate darkness." The ones with darkness manipulation were always very tricky to deal with. After all, they had many trump cards in their arsenal.

They could corpse the surrounding mana so that when a person tries to absorb it, their body will corrode leading to their death.

The skeleton dressed up in armor looked towards them. It quickly unsheathed its great sword and dashed toward them at a very terrifying speed.

Shin and Orion couldn't even keep up with his movements. He was that fast.

He appeared right before Mike. Earlier as he was dashing in toward Mike he secretly moved dark energy with the surrounding mana. This was his specialty, to affect the surrounding mana without anyone knowing.

But Mike already knew that some dark magic users possessed such kind of magic so he didn't bother to use his mana, instead he used his raw physical strength to dominate the skeleton.

'Hmm, This skeleton is around level 300. Too weak.' Mike thought as he punched the skeleton due to which it went two meters away flying.

Mike quickly disappeared and reappeared behind the skeleton. No, he didn't use any space manipulation, instead, he was simply that fast.

The skeleton warlord tried to stand up but Mike punched his face, due to which many cracks appeared on his skull.

But suddenly Mike's eyes widened. The skeleton warlord slashed his sword toward Mike.

Mike was confident that he could stop the sword with just one of his fingers. But suddenly the skeleton's power rose.

It reached to the power level of 400. Mike was way stronger than that level and the reason he was surprised was because of the sudden boost in power.

'So this clears our suspicion. The skeleton king can indeed strengthen and weaken his army at will.' A few days ago they had gotten a report that the skeleton king could strengthen and weaken his army at will 

And as usual, with Mike didn't believe the report completely. And now after witnessing the scene in front of his own eyes he still had some percentage of suspicion.

He had gotten the mission to destroy this kingdom of the undead with the help of a strong leader, Asher.

And he was going to the kingdom of the dead with Asher in the next five days.

But then Shin happened.

'Sigh. Sir Kai is here and I have become pretty strong too in some time. I'm sure if something bad happens we all can at least escape.' Mike thought as he looked at the skeleton. He finally decided to enter the Kingdom of Dead after defeating this skeleton warlord.

As the Skeleton warlord once again swung his sword toward Mike in hope of killing him or at least injuring him heavily Mike too suddenly connected his four fingers with each other and sliced.

The sword that was heading towards him was suddenly sliced in half like butter and so was the skeleton warlord.

But his skeleton quickly started to join, but before it could completely join Miek suddenly clenched his fist.

The skeleton started to twist and turn and the small space around him suddenly cracked before collapsing on him.

This was a dimensional eater too but on the small scale. It saved much more mana and since he didn't exhaust mana there was no need for him to absorb mana from the surrounding.

"Now let's go and see our little quiet king. Let's see how he reacts to my greatness." Suddenly Mike dramatically hugged himself. "Sometimes my greatness scares me too." And his dramatic voice echoed.

But seeing that everyone was cringing he stopped. His face once again became serious as he started walking inside the kingdom.

Suddenly Orion flinched as they entered the kingdom. At first, when he was walking in he felt some difference in Shin's aura, and when he turned his head to see what was wrong he spotted a man standing beside him instead of fluffy Shin.

"You can turn into a human too! Are you part of the heavenly wolf family?" Orion questioned as his eyes widened.

Even Miek felt surprised as he looked towards the shin. It could be possible that he was from the shadow Wolf clan or Greenhorn clan as they too could turn into a human.

But right now he focused on the problem in front of him. He would deal with Shin later.

And as soon as his eyes changed he could see everything. He could see through the building and even the life forces.

It was like all-seeing eyes but a better version of it.

His vision continued and he finally saw through the castle. In the castle was a grand hall.

There was an enormous throne on which was sitting a skeleton 

And it seemed as if he noticed Miek's face, and as if to reply to him he gazed too while adding the pressure of the aura generated from the gem of truth.

A drop of blood fell from Mike's eyes as his grin widened. "Looks like there is someone here with great greatness, but he obviously can't compare to mine." 

And on the other hand skeleton, King looked toward Shin, Orion, and Mike. He could even see the spirit wolf, Kai.

"Hmm, that guy with space manupilationsems to be of 597, while the spirit-like wolf seems to be 599. He's close to a breakthrough 600. Sadly they are in my domain now. I will decide what to do with them." The skeleton king scoffed looking towards them. He quickly extended his arm and the next movement was a skeleton dragon materializing from thin air.

************* 

An enormous skeleton dragon flew in the air and the next second descended in front of Mike, Shin, and Orion.

"Rooooaaaarrrrrrrrr!" The bone dragon's roar was very terrifying. 

And suddenly three more bone dragons could be seen in the air. And a second later they too descended on the ground causing many cracks to appear.

'I hope this great guy isn't just boasting and is actually strong' Shin wished internally as he looked at the bone dragons.

Kai looked at the bone dragons with interest in his eyes. 'Maybe I can add them to my army of spirits.'
