Seeing Dean suddenly appearing there, Everyone was surprised.

Illias stood up and slightly bowed before he asked with doubt, " I wonder what kind of matter brought Dean here? "

" Munvald is dead. "

After saying that, Dean slowly walked over to the empty couch before he sat down and leaned back.

The sixteen people in this open-air pavilion were dumbfounded after hearing the statement from Dean.

Illias snapped out of his thought and wryly smiled, " Surely you are joking, Dean. "

Dean Lenix raised his eyebrows as he looked at the people from Great Bridgade Palace and asked, " Did his father knew that he was here with you lot for the exploration of a special-grade CPD? "

Coddys shook his head and said, " He didn't. I think he went to Silver Fang for some matter, but others at the Great Bridgade Palace know that we are here. "

" How lucky..." Dean muttered before he smiled at everyone and said, " I am not joking. Munvald really died. He died inside the special-grade CPD. His father should contact you any time now, so let's wait. He will bring you the news of his death's son, but you are to say that...he died inside the special-grade CPD, understand? "

In the end, The Dean's voice became cold as a mystical force released from his body and surrounded the whole pavilion.

" Evagon Domain...." Maejas muttered as he looked at the serious face of the Dean and thought, ' It looks like Dean is serious. But the truth will eventually come out in a few days, so what's the point of buying such a short time to cover Munvald's death? But Munvald really died? or there's something hidden behind this motive of Dean? What the hell is going on? '

Illias, Crisenia, and others from Chaos Monolith Hills had similar thoughts as Maejas while people from Great Bridgade Palace gulped with nervous faces.

Coddys wiped the sweat from his forehead as he said with a weak smile, " D-dean...what's going on? Did Munvald really die? If so? How? What's going on? "

Dean grabbed a wine cup from the table and took a sip before saying, " I will tell you everything but for now, just do as I say. When Ruzald contacts you, just tell him that Munvald died inside the special-grade CPD. "

As they waited for Ruzald's call, The head of the Great Bridgade Palace was talking with Ruzald.

" Head Zangrel! Munvald is DEAD! WHO KILLED HIM? "

Head Zangrel frowned and said, " Calm down! Are you sure he is completely dead? or did his soul manage to survive? Look at his Soul Slip carefully. "

" HE IS DEAD! COMPLETELY DEAD! " At this time, Ruzald was pacing in an empty hall with bloodshot eyes with the contact card of Head Zangrel in his hand.

Hearing that Munvald really died, Head Zangrel suddenly remembered the statement of Tiana where she told him to advise Munvald to stay away from Avelia, ' Could it be? Hmmm...Munvald went to Chaos Monolith Hills, and Avelia is there too. '

" Head Zangrel, where did Munvald go recently? I also want the information of all people who were with him. "

" He went to Chaos Monolith Hills with Coddys and Hoktel's gang. There went there to explore a special-grade CPD found by Illias from Chaos Monolith Hills. "

After Head Zangrel finished speaking, The contact was cut off by Ruzald.

But Dean was unbothered by that and fell into thought, ' did the backer of Tiana really kill him? Who is that backer? To dare kill Munvald, Tiana, and whoever her backer is...they have made enemies with Gardues family both in here and Upper Chaosverse. It looks like Lenix, and I are in for a great show before our terms here end, and we go back to Upper Chaosverse, hahaha. '

' Wait...let me contact Lenix. ' Thinking of this, Head Zangrel took out Dean Lenix's contact card and called him.

" Zangrel? Wh-...Wait, since you called me at this time, then it means that you know that Munvald died. "

" Hahaha, Correct. I only know that he died, but from your tone, it seems that you know more about the matter. So? Who killed him? "

" Nobody. He died inside special-grade CPD...for now. "

" Alright, fine. But do introduce me to the person who killed Munvald later. "

...

While Dean Lenix was talking with Head Zangrel, Coddys suddenly received contact and took out a contact only to get a shock.

" It's from Munvald's father. "

Dean Lenix looked at Coddys as he let out his pressure and said, " You know what say. "

Coddys nodded with a nervous expression before he picked up the call by infusing his chaos force into the contact card.

Instantly, He heard the shout of Munvald's father.

" S-sir...Munvald died inside special-grade CPD; not just him but two other people also died. This special-grade CPD was more dangerous than we expected as it had Evagon stage 10-star chaos beasts. "

" Im-impossible! Even if there were Evagon stage 10-star chaos beasts, He wouldn't have died because he had my protective amulet with him! SPEAK THE TRUTH! "

" H-he really d-died inside the special-grade CPD. S-sir, as I s-said, there were Evagon stage 10-star chaos beasts. We already decided to return once we encountered one of them, but we were ambushed by two of them at once while we were returning. In all honesty, Everyone would've died without Munvald but unfortunately...sigh. "

Right after Coddys finished speaking, Ruzald cut off the contact as he roared inside the empty hall.

But after that, He took several deep breaths and calmed down as his bloodshot eyes turned cold as he left the hall.

...

Coddys looked at Dean Lenix and wiped away the sweat before speaking with a weak smile, " H-he didn't believe it. "

Dean Lenix nodded indifferently, " I know. Anyway, You all can stay here and enjoy yourself for some time. You can do that, right? "

After saying that, Dean Lenix stood up as he prepared to leave, but at this time, Illias asked, " Dean...Umm, you said you would tell us about the actual situation. From that call, It is clear that Munvald really died...but how? "

Dean Lenix looked at Illias and smiled plainly, " Do you really want to know? Don't be nervous. I can tell you if you really want to know. "

Illias gulped before he rapidly started thinking and finally nodded, " I want to know. "

Others also nodded.

" Fine. Munvald was killed...Athan killed him. " After saying that, Dean Lenix waved his right hand as a powerful force released from his body and covered the whole pavilion.

As Dean Lenix left, he said, " Now stay here like good boys and girls until I release you. "

...

As Dean Lenix flew back to his hill, He thought, ' What are going to do now, Athan? How will you confront this trouble? I suppose I will know that tomorrow. '

He remembered the carefree attitude of Athan and shook his head, ' Is he really not worried about the consequences? Is he confident or overconfident? I suppose it's former considering that mysterious cat-like being called Athan as its Master despite being such a powerful creature. '

...

Currently, Athan and others were in meditation.

Naturally, Linci was near him as he constantly absorbed her Netherly Frost.

Inside Athan's void region, He asked Primo, " Primo, Why does Linci seem to have unlimited Netherly Frost? "

Primo was currently looking through the stash of Athan and heard the quest before he answered, " Nyaa...It's because that fragment inside her is connected to a dimension and all Netherly frost is coming from there with taking that fragment as a medium and carrier. "

" By the way, Master. What is this thing? " Primo showed Athan the beast token of Skymare Tingale.

Athan looked at it and wryly smiled as he had completely neglected Skymare Tingale, " That's a chaos beast, Skymare Tingale. "

Suddenly, He got an idea and said, " Primo, Efyeed, Can you two help Skymare Tingale advance? It's already peak 3-star so it can easily break through to 4-star but I want to make it even more powerful. Primo, check if you can somehow strengthen and mutate it using your aura as you did with Reigen. "

Reigen was peacefully sleeping and its ear twitched as it heard their conversation, ' Maybe I can also help, Master. '

Athan smiled and nodded, " Alright. Efyeed, you are most knowledge so if you need any things or materials, then tell me. "

" Understood, Master. " Said Efyeed.

After that, Athan took out the beast token from his void region and took released Skymare Tingale.

*Shriiiiiiiiillllll....*

Skymare Tingle flew around chaotically and seem to be crying.

" Nyahaha, Master, It's crying because you didn't let it out for a long time. "

Athan smiled wryly as he knew that he was at fault, " Don't worry, I will not put you inside beast token from today. Also, let's form a soul bond and train you to become stronger. "

Skymare Tingale cried happily as it flew around Athan.

' I wonder what will the effect of having to bond your soul with mine have? ' Athan wondered.
