Yes, The spell the King used was a peak Silver level wide-ranged mind control spell which makes its targets feel inferior when compared to the caster, creating a master-slave relations.h.i.+p almost in an instant.

Like all Mind control spells, breaking out of it is quite simple, yet difficult! It is close to impossible for someone to break out of this spell unless they are aware that their mind is been tampered with!

The question now is this… How did these kids break the spell? At their current level, this should be impossible

without external interference

"Looks like this year has some promising recruits!" a youth in his early 20's, with bright red iris laughed. His red short hair swayed to the side according to the direction of the wind and his red, mage robes fluttered in the wind as well.

His calm red eyes were fixed Derik and Cyrus as he laughed. This youth radiated of majestic yet a friendly aura which made everyone present feel intimate towards this man. This is the man Derik and Cyrus recognized

"It's Gerald Gyro… Founder of the Adventurers a.s.sociation… and the Eldest son of the king!" A voice cried out from the crowd

"I heard he's already at the peak of the Intermediate silver ranked mage level and his fighter skills have also entered the silver rank level at such a young age!!! He's a prodigy! A man worthy to be called 'King!'" another voice cried out from the crowd

Gerald chuckled as he heard these people speak, clearly amused by their reaction but his eyes never left Derik and Cyrus, even for a second!

"SILENCE!!!!!" the mighty voice of the middle-aged, red-haired man at the center shook the arena. His crimson red eyes filled with anger and rage fell on Derik and Cyrus.

"KNEEL!" The man's mighty voice echoed once again and this time, a mysterious power flowed within this man's words!

Bam!

Bam!!

Instantly, Derik and Cyrus's complexion turned pale as they felt an invisible force befall them from above. At this point, it felt like a mountain was placed on their backs threatening to crush them. Both recruits instantly fell on their knees. Yet this red-haired man was not satisfied, with a disgusted expression on his face, the middle-aged man's lips parted and he spoke again

"BOW!"

Bam!

Bam!

This time the invisible force fell on their heads and almost instantly, both their heads slammed on the ground such a force that they started bleeding. Initially, they hoped that this man will let them go after making them knee and now but the opposite happened. Stealing a glance, they could see that the arrogant red-haired man was still not satisfied and suddenly the force which pushed them down increased. Their bodies s.h.i.+vered as blood slid down their head, all the way to the ground, creating a small puddle of blood.

[You will seriously get hurt at this rate Derik! Fight it!] The voice roared in his head

"Cyrus!!!" Derek roared

"I agree!" Cyrus replied quickly.

Hearing the short conversation between this two, all three men standing in mid-air raised an eyebrow, shocked that these kids can still be defiant at a time like this

BOOM!

BOOM!

Cyrus and Derik suddenly roared at the top of their voices and golden and darkish purple energy respectively exploded from their bodies, creating a shockwave that knocked away their teammates who were kneeling close by.

Bam!

Bam!

With veins popping out of their bodies and their golden and purple eyes roaring back to life, the both cast away the invisible force on their body and got back on their feet, staring at the red-haired, middle-aged man who wore a shocked expression on his face. In fact, it wasn't just him, the other two were astonished as well.

"Splendid! Absolutely Splendid!!!" Gerald laughed and clapped

"They are truly interesting individuals… but the archer… an archer with such an aura… this means he has an affinity to magic… considering the way, he pushed out the power at his time of need that means he is also in perfect control of it…. If he follows the same path as his majesty, he will definitely make it to the silver level… I, the Kingdoms Guardian is willing to take this child under my care if he proves himself to me" The old, white-haired man laughed

"Even though Father greatly reduced the power of his 'word' to the minimum, they still forced their way out…. This should be enough… don't you think? Master Kalos" Gerald said

Kalos shook his head repeatedly in disapproval while stroking his beards…

"It's not…" He declared

......

Meanwhile, the shock wave which knocked over the other members of the team broke the spell binding them as well, seeing Derik and Cyrus covered in a mixture of sweat and blood, they gasped and dashed forward.

Supporting their friends who seemed as if they were going to collapse at any moment, they turned their cold gaze to the men standing above and silently cursed them.

They already knew the famous red-haired youth who is the creator of the adventurers a.s.sociation and only found out the ident.i.ty of the white-bearded elder as the Kingdom guardian after he spoke, calling himself that. But the man at the center who wore a disgusted, yet annoyed expression on his face was someone they didn't know. For a few seconds, they pondered on this, trying to figure out the ident.i.ty of this b.a.s.t.a.r.d who dared to act arrogantly in public. Making them kneel to him, this was something only a king should do… wait… King!

They looked up and realization finally dawned on them. The middle-aged man in the center was a bit identical to the eldest prince who stood beside him. They both possessed the same hair color and facial features, the only difference was that the other looked older.

"He's.... king…" Kira muttered to his shocked teammates.

Instantly all seven recruits fell on their knees and bowed, not daring to look this majestic figure in the eyes
