Chapter 253 Grandmaster Rank



'Now I should start absorbing these beast cores.'

He desired to protect his city, so he wanted to break through to the Grandmaster rank as quickly as possible.

As he was absorbing beast cores, Scarlett informed her subordinates about Dezmavas' plan.

Her subordinates were shocked.

Of course, they were not afraid.

Some of them were even a little happy because, with this, they could take revenge for what had happened five years ago.

After giving them thirty beast cores, Scarlett told them to prepare themselves before finally returning to her office.

----

Unknown Place, Forest.

Three people were chatting in a carriage: a grown man, a mature lady, and a young man.

The grown man had blue hair and green eyes, while the mature lady had long black hair and blue eyes. As for the young man, he had blue hair and red eyes.

If Scarlett saw them, she would know them right away because they were her subordinates.

No!

The mature lady was no longer her subordinate because she resigned from her job as a city guard when she contracted an unknown disease five years ago.

The names of these people were Louie Gray, Alex Fraser, and Vera Fraser.

"Elder sister, your diseases have been cured now. Are you going back to the army?" Alex asked curiously.

Vera shook her head. "No. I want to be a housewife and do my duty as a wife."

Previously, she could not do her duty as a wife completely because she had to protect their city too.

Now, she only wanted to be a housewife and make her husband happy.

"Vera, I'm fine if you want to be a city guard again." Louie said with a soft voice. "No matter what happens, you will always be my wife, and I will always love you." 

Vera held her husband's hands. "No. I want to dedicate myself to you and be a wife who can always be there for you."

"Hey. I'm here. Can you stop it?" Alex felt awkward.

"Hehe." Vera and Louie chuckled.

"I can't wait to arri-" Alex could not finish his words because the coachman suddenly stopped the carriage.

"What's wrong?" Louie inquired.

"Two magical beasts are approaching us, sir." The coachman responded.

Louie, Alex, and Vera immediately got out of the carriage. 

"Brother-in-law, elder sister, leave these magical beasts to me." After saying that, Alex walked closer to these magical beasts.

"Grrr…" the hyenas showed its gangs.

Alex stopped his footsteps and pointed his right index finger at these magical beasts. "Hey, hyenas. Get ready. I will attack now."

And as if the hyenas could understand his words, they were ready to attack too.

"Earth magic: Deadly Meteors." Alex threw two big stones into mid-air before finally kicking them, attacking the hyenas with these two stones.

Louie shook his head. "Here we go again."

"Hehe." Vera giggled happily. 

There was a reason why Vera giggled, and Louie shook his head.

It was because Alex pretended to be a mage again!

Alex awakened the Knight class, but he always pretended to be a mage every time he fought someone or a magical beast.

He even always introduced himself as a mage.

Of course, Vera was fine with this because Alex dreamed of becoming a mage since he was little. 

Boom!

Boom!

The red hyena was hit by the stone, while the white one managed to avoid Alex's attack.

When he saw the white hyena jumping at him, Alex took a big stone and placed it in front of him. "Earth Magic: Stone Shield."

However, the stone could not stop the white hyena's attack because it shattered into pieces right after getting hit by the hyena.

Luckily, he had a great reflex, so he could avoid the hyena's attack.

"Oh, you can destroy my Stone Shield magic?" Alex wore a shocked expression. "Not bad, not bad."

The hyenas felt like they were being underestimated by Alex, so they rushed toward him, intending to attack him together.

"Earth Magic: Earthquake." After Alex hit the ground hard, a massive earth fissure spread toward the hyenas.

The red hyena fell into the earth fissure and died, while the white hyena could avoid it.

"Physical Reinforcement magic." Alex rushed toward the white hyena.

Unlike before, he did not pretend to use magic again.

He attacked the white hyena continuously.

He even did not let the hyena counterattack.

He wanted to kill the hyena quickly, so he decided to get serious.

Bang!

The hyena was thrown high into mid-air after getting kicked by Alex.

Alex did not waste the opportunity to finish the hyena.

He immediately jumped high and raised his right fist. "Fist Magic: Tiger Fist."

Bang!

The sound of a hyena falling to the ground reverberated in the entire area.

Alex walked toward the carriage after making sure all the hyenas were dead. "Elder sister, brother-in-law, what do you think of my magic?"

Louie did not say anything and only let out a sigh.

"It's amazing!" Vera praised her younger brother, "But is there really a fist magic? It's my first time hearing it."

"Hehe. It's my new magic." Alex laughed after saying that.

After that, they continued their journey home.

----

Ace's Mansion, Living Room.

"I'm home." Scarlett said as she stepped into the living room.

Layla immediately welcomed her. "Welcome home. Scarlett, I have prepared dinner. Let's eat together."

"Alright." She responded instantly.

Actually, she wanted to take a bath immediately, but she changed her mind because she could take a shower later.

After sitting on a chair, Scarlett inquired, "Where is Ace?"

She only saw Layla and Valeria, so she wanted to know where he was.

"Ace is in his room." Layla responded, "He has been absorbing beast cores since he arrived home. He even ignored me earlier."

"It seems like he wants to quickly break through to the Grandmaster rank." Valeria uttered.

"I see." Scarlett responded, "Then let's eat now."

After having dinner together, they chatted in the family room.

Like before, Ace was still absorbing beast cores.

He wanted to protect his city and the citizens, so he tried his best to break through to the next rank as soon as possible.

Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was already 05:00 a.m.

At this moment, Ace was still sitting cross-legged on his bed. 

After absorbing all the beast cores, he finally broke through to the Grandmaster rank.

'Success!'

He slowly opened his eyes.

'So, this is what it feels like to be an awakener at Grandmaster rank.'

He felt like his body was filled with energy.

*Growling…

The sound of his stomach rumbling could be heard in his ears.

"I'm hungry." He got out of bed and headed to the dining room.

To his surprise, Scarlett stepped into the dining room when he was eating alone.

"Ace?" she walked toward him with a smile on her face.

"Good morning, my beautiful lover." He stopped eating his food and smiled softly at her.

'Hmm?'

He widened his eyes in surprise when she suddenly sat on his lap.

"Good morning, my handsome boyfriend." She wanted lovey-dovey with him because she had been busy lately. "When did you stop absorbing beast cores?"

"A few minutes ago." He gave an honest answer. "I'm an awakener at Grandmaster rank now."

"My boyfriend is indeed the best." She praised him.

"So, where is my reward?" he inquired.
