It has been two years after Gerald took the crown and Derik became half of the kingdom guardian. During this time, Derik and Cyrus have remained indoors, recovering from their hidden injuries while trying to push forward to the next realm.

Even though they have been secluded from the rest of the world for a while and no one knew their current condition, no one dared to cause trouble for Gyro. At this point, Gyro has become the number one kingdom on the continent. With the presence of so many experts on their side, even the three heroes of Legends do no dare cause any trouble.

Six months ago, news of Cyrus and Derik taking a half step into the Gold realm, shook everyone and in response, Kaido of the sun cosmic spirit and Diana of the moon cosmic spirit also secluded themselves from the rest of the world, cultivating frantically. No one knew where or the condition of the third hero of legend, all they knew was that this hero was not on the continent.

Within these two years, the peace has been destroyed and the magic beasts that roamed the continent were restless. In less than a month all the small villages and communities outside the influence the four great kingdoms were quickly consumed and tens of thousands of human lives were lost. Amongst them were guardian knights, oracles, and other mages and physical cla.s.s members.

Soon the four kingdoms were been attacked continuously, wave by wave. Soon all the kingdoms were forced to defend their territories, movements beyond the kingdom walls were prohibited and all kingdoms were locked down.

The reason for this sudden change in the behavior of these docile creatures was still unknown and everyone's guards were up. This war has raged on for more than a year now and things were getting more serious.

The normal method used to create a safe zone for kingdoms was breached and even the famous castle black was overrun. The recruits sent there were killed.

.........…..

"Just like you said, they are getting more aggressive towards humans and other races… A spirit wolf normally abandons a hunt when it's outside its territory but this one…. This one chased after us, even at the kingdom gates…" Blake tossed the corpse of the spirit wolf forward and leaned on a pillar next to him with his hands wrapped around his chest.

"You have done well once again… Did you notice anything strange at the place you were sent?" Gerald nodded his head in satisfaction as he asked.

"Of course…  we couldn't see it for sure but it was more like a meeting point for these monsters of various levels…. It was as if they were guarding something or someone… it's similar to the reports from the other kingdoms… something has definitely gone wrong… something is making these beasts more aggressive than usual!" Blake said

"This won't be the first or last time something strange like this will happen…. A few days ago, I detected an intrusion in this planet's s.p.a.ce, I can't tell for sure but I believe something is trying to invade… its agitating these magic beasts!" Kalos spoke after giving the matter some thought.

"Has the host confirmed your speculations? They are the only ones capable of interacting with the guardian spirits… If something this big is happening they should be aware of it… The guardian spirits must have warned them" Gin said with a stern look on his face.

"I can't verify my speculations now… Those two are at a critical stage in their cultivation… We cannot interrupt them or they will need another half a decade if they want to break through to the gold realm!" Kalos shook his head repeatedly as he spoke. As an undead general amongst Derik's army of the dead, who was granted a body, Kalos could exist outside Derik's power. He had almost no limitations or restrictions placed on him, unlike the other undead warriors and mages Derik controls. Another character in his army with similar status was the sun cla.s.s bishop, Aldora.

"And the nature guardian spirit host? Haven't you found him yet?" Donald asked with a slight frown on his face.

"I have… He didn't escape from the kingdom as we thought… He's currently in an underground cellar of the Lockwood family, cultivating… He too has half a step into the gold realm" Kalos responded with a joyful smile on his face.

Apart from the Kingdom of Baldmar whose fire guardian spirit host was about to break into the gold realm, Gyro already had three potential gold realm experts! With this force, they can even unite the continent under one rule if they wish to!

Kalos never thought he would live to see a day where he could see capable experts from the younger generation, taking over Gyro. In a decade at most, he was sure Kuen will also break into the gold realm, giving Gyro another Gold realm expert, coupled with the two gold realm experts under Derik's control, making it six gold realm experts in total.

What was he thinking when he thought of forcing the other kingdoms into submission?

With this kind of force, they will most likely come willingly! If he could shed tears in this his undead body, he would have been doing that by now. He could only let out a soft chuckle as he waited for Gerald to make his decision.

"All we can do now is keep the kingdom alive and running as we wait for these three to breakthrough… The last time we dispatched a team of silver realm warriors to eradicate these monsters constantly attacking the kingdom walls, high leveled beasts with even greater power sprang up from nowhere and forced them to retreat… This world is about to fall into chaos and we can't have these magic beasts troubling us when the real foe appears… Even if we need to wipe out all the monsters in Gyro soils then we will do that… I'm afraid we will need your support in this war!" Gerald said to Kalos, bowing respectfully.

"You don't have to worry… I and Aldora were instructed to look after this kingdom while he cultivates. Its only natural we lend a hand in these troubling times! Its time for we humans to stop hiding behind the walls and drive these beasts away! We will become the dominant race in this world!" Kalos roared pa.s.sionately.
