A sky rift appearing at the center of the continent is something that rarely happens and has no specific day of the year it happens. Sometimes it appears only once in fifty years, sometimes it takes centuries for it to occur, the time frame usually varies but the rewards for those who conquer it is actually worth the risk. The great kingdom of Bladmar was initially a humble gathering, not different from the gatherings of goblins in caves even though they were more organized. Just barely two centuries ago, a sky rift appeared and a team of powerful lizard men went in. At that time, no kingdom had ever conquered the dungeon, only losing talented warriors there so these kingdoms branded it a plague and avoided it.

Two months after the team of lizard men entered, they returned and somehow managed to clear the dungeon. With the power and precious equipment they acquired, these lizardmen returned to the western region of the continent and slaughtered everyone who stood it against them. It was said that Baldmar, the leader of the lizard expedition team and first king of the Bladmar kingdom, got possession of a gold level magic weapon with which he used to ma.s.sacre the combined army of Alda, Cato, and Gyro who sort to steal the rewards they earned in the dungeon.

......

The eyes of everyone in the room lit up when they heard king Robert's words and even the kingdom mage smiled, knowing how important the expedition is. If their kingdom could best the other kingdoms and acquire the treasures of the dungeon, with the help of the treasures they have acquired, they should have enough power to subdue the other three kingdoms and monopolize the resources of the continent.

"It's a pity those young lads, got on your bad side… considering their powers and potential, they definitely would have made it to the silver realm and would have been of great use to the continent" Kalos sighed

Roberts expression turned ugly and he considered Kalos words, having numerous silver cla.s.s would also boost the strength of the kingdom, the gain seemed to be much and very enticing but then again, these people went against the king.

After pondering on this issue for a while, diabolical thoughts crawled up his mind and a sinister smile appeared on his face. Seeing this, the others in the room shuddered involuntarily and took a step back instinctively, waiting for the King to speak.

Robert, from the very beginning from when has been known for his craftiness and cunning nature. Even as a mid grade bronze level warrior and mage, he was able to plot against his two elder brothers who were all in the silver realm and successfully got them killed, taking the throne for himself. It was quite accurate to say that whenever this man plotted against someone, the person days are already numbered and the only person that can save him is Robert himself.Even after becoming king, this disgusting nature of his did not change, and it even got to points where he plots against mere citizens who speak out against his rule.

"Secretly contact the family of the members of team guardians… I'll love to speak to them" Robert grinned as he spoke

"Also… concerning the unknown mage, supporting these teams in the shadows and also broadcasting their glorious moments to help them win the heart of the people… Pour more resources into the investigation… Just find that person" he said

"What do you plan to do my king?' Kalos asked

"Only one person has to die… I would have let them walk away with a few scars but after the scene, that commoner pulled today, I can't forgive him…. I will pardon the rest but Derik Angus must die...!!!"
