"Do you truly wish to get involved Gerald Gyro? Do you think this will go unpunished?" Diana spoke coldly.

"Join them? Don't be a dumb girl… This is a fight between the n.o.bles of this kingdom and the death palace… I am just here to make sure no one interferes and disrupts the battle." Gerald grinned wickedly.

"How can you stop me from doing this? They are going to kill them all! We are talking about three hundred thousand lives! This is not fair!" Diana couldn���t help but roar.

"Silence b.i.t.c.h! When three hundred thousand soldiers marched forward, hoping to battle the palace of death, even though their numbers were slightly above thirty thousand, why didn't you stop them? If the death mage didn't make leave behind his undead army to protect them, it would have been a one-sided ma.s.sacre!" Gerald was enraged by Diana's words.

Hearing him speak, Diana's face twisted in so many ways. She wasn't annoyed because Gerald's words were false, she was annoyed because it was true. If the forces of the n.o.bles were the ones winning, she probably wouldn't have moved to stop the fight.

"This isn't right… these people have families and loved ones… Enough blood has been shed already" Diana pleaded.

"If the forces of the death mage were the ones on the losing side I'm sure you wouldn't be doing this! Hypocrites like you shouldn't exist in this world… You shouldn't exist in any world! Today the main culprits disrupting the peace of this empire will be wiped out and I won't you or any other gold realm master stop this… I will show you just what Gerald Gyro is capable of!" Gerald bellowed as his body was engulfed in scorching yellow flames, forcing everyone around him to retreat.

He threw his fists forward, releasing two dragon head-shaped flame b.a.l.l.s before diving forward!

Dragon flame magic: Divine ancient beast!

With a resounding roar, Gerald was shrouded in flames which took the shape of a ma.s.sive fire dragon making every other person look like dwarfs to him.

"Gold realm! A gold realm! Master!!!" Diana screamed in fear while retreating.

Who would have thought Gerald had broken through all this while and kept a low profile all this while.

Even those on his side were stunned. The fact that Gerald entered the gold realm automatically made him one of the most powerful figures in the continent and one of the most important figures in the empire. From young Gerald has always been considered a peerless genius that was able to train as a mage and a fight at the same time and progress at an amazing speed, even surpa.s.sing his peers. He was the treasure of the Gyro kingdom and the hope of the empire at that time, considered the brightest genius in the continent.

At least, that was until Derik and Cyrus appeared. Their rise in power as such a monstrous speed was terrifying enough to make people completely forget Gerald's talent, only seeing him as the eldest son of the former king of Gyro. Derik and Cyrus' fame overshadowed him, making the ma.s.ses to forget him and those close to lose interest in him. Gerald was only remembered when he appears in public.

Luckily this did not affect Gerald negatively in any way, instead, he was thrilled by this since most of his burdens as a member of the royal family were removed and placed on Cyrus and Derik, giving him enough free time to cultivate in seclusion without fear of his responsibilities.

The thought of Gerald breaking into the gold realm did not sound strange to Donald, Gin, Karl, and the rest who knew how talented the man was, their only annoyance was that he kept this from them. 

Roar!!!

Divine flame dragon roar!

The fire dragon roared, releasing a stream of fire surged towards Diana who hid behind her ma.s.sive crescent moon magic weapon to escape the raging fire.

"You!" Diana's eyes dilated when she sensed the killing intentions in Gerald's power.

Moon magic: Moonlight!

Her magic weapon let out a silver glow before shooting a beam of silver energy at the fire attacks. While that happened, Fernando's group arrived with Fernando's diving in headfirst like a crazed beast, swiping his magic weapon at her, releasing numerous golden energy arcs with each strike.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Diana left her magic weapon to keep Gerald's group busy while she dived towards the army of the palace of life since they are the weakest link. As long as she's able to eliminate them first and reduce the burden on her own side when she decides to face Gerald head-on. No matter how strong Gerald has become, he was still just at the low grade of the gold realm. Even though this revelation stunned her and increased the burden on her, she refused a low-grade gold realm master and a handful of peak silver realm elites can defeat her easily. She is a bonafide mid-grade of the gold realm master and with each grade comes a greater difference in power. That's why Derik, Cyrus, and Kaido had to join hand to stop a single attack from a peak grade gold realm orc chieftain, even though the difference between them in just one grade.

And she was right!

Bang!

All three fire attacks were destroyed by the silver beam of the floating magic moons shaped weapon. The others dived forward to reach Diana but the crescent moon kept releasing waves of sliver beam to stop them from advancing.
