As the king spoke, an expression of melancholy took over him. Memories started to flash by as he reminisced about those old times. Although it had been thousands of years, he still remembered the time when he was a young man full of spirit.

He still remembered that when he first left the temple and its protection, there was a time when he had lost it all. He remembered staggering in some alley, all beaten up while all his belongings had been taken away by those ruthless gang members.

It was a time when technology wasn't much advanced and the most advanced thing of that time were brick houses and chimneys that provided warmth and solace but he had none.

It was also then that he met the person who changed everything. With a hooded cloak over his head, the man had a mysterious vibe around him.

He also remembered how the man had extended his hand over to him. It was from then on that the king saw a rise in his life. Starting from a simple servant for the man, the king traveled along with the man and saw the man's great power.

Following the man for years, the king realized what he needed. Then, one day,

"Sir, I am eternally grateful for your help. For you have shielded me from the hardships of life and allowed me to grow along with you. Seeing you fight, I feel the fighting spirit in my blood boil with the intent to fight. My liege, I swear my allegiance to you. Please, allow me to be your disciple and learn your way of power," said the king, kneeling on the ground as he left behind all his dignity and pride.

"Good," The man said and smiled. Standing up, he lifted the king up and motioned him to follow.

The King complied and it was then he realized, the man was walking towards the sea! The man was walking to his home! The King felt strange but he kept quiet.

He knew that although he belonged to the sea, he was a bastard child of a fisherman and a mermaid. He had no strength to speak of and no one cared for him.

The world phased by as though walking through a curtain, the man's power was boundless. Within minutes, the man and king stood upon the shore as they overlooked the sea.

"I assume this is where you come from," said the man as he looked into the king's eyes.

"Yes sir," daring not to lie, the king spoke.

The man nodded and extended his hand and touched the king's forehead. After that, a strange power came from the man's hand and headed into the king's body.

He felt his blood change, and intense pain shot through his body as something within awakened.

"Argghhhh" The pain suddenly intensified. The King screamed at the top of his lungs. After that, the memories were dull until one day, the king found himself hovering in the air at the same place, looking down on the boundless ocean.

He saw that along with him were eleven more people. He stood in the back as there were two more behind him while the rest were in front of him.

"Poseidon," His master called out.

The King hurriedly flew forward and kneeled in the air as a show I respect.

"No need, you are king now," said the man.

"Huh?" Hearing the man's words, the king was confused and surprised. He even thought that he heard it wrong as he looked at his master in confusion.

"Haha! Don't be confused, you are now a King! You are the king of the sea, of this boundless ocean that spreads everywhere," said the man as he laughed lightly.

"Rea..Really.. Thank you, master," As he got past the initial surprise, the king realized what happened and hurriedly bowed down to the man.

"No need. Here, take this trident with you. Rule over the oceans and when the time is nigh, I will tell you what to do. Remember, there will be once a day when you will have to support the one after me. Don't worry, just rule for now and enjoy the fruits of your labor. I will tell you when the time comes," The man smiled and raised his hand as the will of that world converged. It converged as the man infused his life force into the trident and passed it down to the king before he spoke,

"This is an item created from my life force. Use it well, it will help you in your life and also provide you with the knowledge that I haven't passed down to you," said the man as he then looked at the king and smiled,

"I don't remember how many years have passed but I am impressed by your will to get stronger. Keep on advancing and maybe, in the future; you will see my descendant," said the man in melancholy.

After that, the king remembered going back to his house and then single-handedly taking over the whole ocean. After taking the throne, various things occurred one day; the trident told him,

"There will come a time when this world will merge with another world. That world is where you will find my descendant," Said the will of the man infused in the trident.

After that, the king had made it his goal to wait for the chosen one and help him.

And today, the king was so close to it that he couldn't believe it, "My lord, I am very close to finding your descendant. Please allow me to accompany the chosen one through the battles as I did with you," Said him and then closed his eyes.

While the king sighed and ventured deeper into meditating,

The Academy was in turmoil,

In a deep corridor, Elina led the dozens of students and followers through the plan discussed with the demon in her consciousness.

Right now, the demon "Depressing Horror" had almost fully indulged into Kashish's consciousness. Just a bit more and it will be ready for it to consume.

Looking eerily at the curvaceous girl bawling her eyes out, he felt rather content.

"Thankfully, I am out of that depressing sh*t hole of hell," He thought as the scene of him eating various souls and getting stronger to rule this world came to his mind.

"It will be slow but I will make sure to seize control over this world," Thought the demon and continued on fantasizing.

While he fantasized, Elina and Sirius slowly approached the demon. With Sirius having used shadows to cover both of them, their figures were almost invisible in the reigning darkness.

"Hmmm?" The demon thought that it sensed something. Turning around, it looked at the corner of the corridor. In the darkness, it sensed nothing and turned back to look at its prey.

"Phewww.." Elina exhaled in relief. Previously, Depressing Horror had almost sensed them but the demon within her consciousness released his aura and shielded them both from Depressing Horror's senses.

Then, heading forward; Elina stood a few meters away from the demon as her body got covered in cryptic runes. The runes pulsed a dark black color as Elina's eyes darkened. Her aura turned heavy as the dark power flowed through her body.

She clenched her hands and raised her arm. Opening her palm in front of the demon's back, a ball of black flame condensed and shot out.

[Cursed Ball Of Containment],

Elina muttered as the ball hit the demon at point blank. As for the demon, it didn't realize until it was hit. As soon as the ball hit the demon, it blasted into a puff of smoke as chains extended out of it.

The chains wrapped around the demon's illusionary body and bound it tightly.

"Sccrrreeeee" The demon released a loud scream of pain. Seeing the demon bound, Elina signaled Sirius as he jumped out of the shadows and stood in front of the demon.

[Transformation:- Dark Alpha],

Sirius transformed as his whole body grew. A blackish shadow appeared behind him as an eerie atmosphere countered the demon's aura.

"Hrgghhh" Looking at the demon right in its eyes, Sirius stopped forward. He wanted to torture it.

As for Elina, she ran towards the girl. Bending down and having a good look at her. She realized that it was the new girl who just arrived. Although she was angry at the newcomer for getting too close to Ray, she still helped the girl.

After all, she didn't know what the whole story was and as a girl, she felt sympathy for her.

She touched the girl's forehead and started working as she cast a spell,

[Curse Absorption], the demon's dark mana turned into black miasma as the demon's mana was absorbed into her body. The girl's pale face slowly recovered, and her breathing turned normal while the dark veins popping out of her forehead also receded.

"Thank you," Kashish opened her eyes and thanked the girl as she felt thankful for being out of that hellish torture induced over her.
