Although Philip was unwilling, he was very well aware that Austin was way more powerful than him.
Even though, just half a month back, Michael and Philip were able to pin Austin down at Prince
Reuben's estate. Who would have imagined that Austin would become so powerful within such a short
span of time?
"Philip, I never expected that you will bite the hand that feeds you. You betray our Prince Reuben!"
Austin remarked and shook his head in dismay. He glanced at Philip's face and could not ignore the
indifference in his attitude.
"Let's go!" Austin commanded in a stern voice and turned around.
Austin started to walk out of the woods followed by Dewey and others.
Some young imperial royal warriors were looking at the son of the king's hand. There was a young man
in yellow attire. While some of the royal warriors waited for his command, some of them couldn't help
intercepting Austin and his companions.
But they stopped themselves when the young man in yellow attire gestured them with his eyes.
Moments later, Austin and his fellows left the woods.
"My lord, should we let them go like this?"
"My lord, though Austin is very powerful, we have the strength of at least twenty men over here. I firmly
believe that if we fight in collaboration with each other, we still have a great chance of taking him
down."
All we need is a command from you to just rush out and tear him apart!"
Several warriors grumbled and were very unwilling to let Austin go like this and do nothing.
"No!"
The young man in yellow attire named Tolkien shook his head slowly with a serious face.
"He is too powerful for all of us put together at the moment. We can't stop him if he is determined to
leave."
Don't be in haste. Both of my elder brothers have gone to the Emperor Library to fetch the high ranked
martial skills. After they achieve that, they will surely spare some time to deal with Austin.
Humph, if my brothers want, even a dozen of Austins will not be able to combat with them."
There was a distinct mark of pride in his voice, Tolkien, as he mentioned about his two elder brothers.
Tolkien's brothers were elites of the young royal siblings. Even the emperor himself never stopped
appreciating them.
"Well, well. We'd rather go to the Emperor Library and meet my elder brothers.
There are martial skills of eighth and ninth levels in the Emperor Library. And there are plenty of them.
If we can get even one of them, our trip will be worthwhile.
Had it not been for that fatty and the bitch, we would have met my brothers earlier."
The royal warriors were seemingly excited by Tolkien's words. Their eyes sparkled as they heard him.
After all, the attraction of the high ranked martial skills was too tempting for each one of them.
The young man gestured them by hand to make a move and then the rest of them marched out of the
woods.
"Austin, I assure you that I will make you pay for your deeds in no time. I promise I will definitely make
you cry for death."
Before leaving the woods, Tolkien glared at the way taken by Austin with ice-cold eyes.
After the royal warriors left, a shadow suddenly flew out from behind a tree. It seemed that the shadow
was quietly witnessing the whole event from miles afar.
Casting a glance at the royal warriors as they left, the shadow murmured to himself, "Emperor Library!
Martial skills of eighth and ninth levels! Ha-ha! It seems that the royal family has been in charge of the
Mysterious Nether World for centuries which has enabled them to grasp a handful of secrets from it.
But much to their disappointment, we will rob them of all their achievements even before they can even
anticipate anything like that. Ha-ha."
The shadow was that of a young man, about twenty-two or twenty-three years old with a strong stature
and an extremely intimidating demonic aura that could not evade the eyes of the onlookers. The cloak
he wore was as red as fire.
He bore a tattoo of a sand scorpion on his forehead that almost looked like it was alive—hideous as a
creature could be, evil like a devil.
He let out a burst of monstrous laughter that could make the blood curdle and the soul shivers out of
terror. Then he stretched out his hand, summoned nine yellow cards and planted nine rays of spiritual
sense into the cards. In an instant, the cards turned into nine rays of lights and flew into the sky.
A few moments later, A few moments later, the lights appeared right in front of the nine young evil
warriors from the Mysterious Nether World. Seeing the yellow lights, the warriors reached out their
hands, and then, immediately, the lights turned into yellow cards again and landed on their hands.
Thereafter, the warriors used spiritual sense to enter the cards and read the message planted in them.
Then the nine evil young warriors raised their heads at the same time in the same direction
unanimously.
They all had an evil smile on their faces. Then they flew away in that direction immediately. . . .
By that time, Austin and his companions had already traveled far away from the woods.
Dewey and Maria were relieved at last. They had lost all hopes of being rescued from the royal
warriors. However, to their utter surprise, Austin appeared suddenly and was able to fight with the
whole army of the royals all by himself.
"Tin, you are just awesome! You have beaten five top warriors of the Mysterious Realm!
We could not take our eyes off from you!
I felt thrilled when I saw the royals turned numb and humiliated! It's cool!
Awesome! You're just incredible!
Tin, never have I admired someone like this ever since I was born. But, now, I admire you! You are the
only one!
Tin, you are my idol from now on!"
Dewey kept praising Austin all the way.
"Ha-ha, stop it, bro.
You are flattering me.
Don't keep going like this. It makes me feel embarrassed."
Dewey was almost chewing Austin's ears off. But both Dewey and Maria were literally unstoppable.
The moment, Dewey stopped, Maria started expressing her gratitude.
"Austin, thank you very much for saving our lives."
If you had not shown up in time, I just can't bring myself to imagine about the possible outcomes that
we might have had to face."
Maria spoke from the core of her heart.
Maria was in awe of Austin's incredible advancements in acquiring power.
Maria, herself was just at the premium stage of Earth Realm, far away from the premium stage of
Mysterious Realm. However, Austin's befitting and power pact combat with the five warriors of the
Mysterious Realm left her completely spellbound.
Maria knew very well that it would be a cakewalk for Austin to beat her in a fight.
'Though he is of my age, yet his power has reached way above mine' Maria introspected. Something
underneath her heart seemed to change a little.
Of all the young men she had met, none had been more outstanding than Austin.
"Ha-ha. It's my hornor.
In fact, the royals had caused trouble for you because of me. So there is no need to thank me."
Austin could tell that Maria thanked him in an honest way.
"Eh?
Tin, I had never met these two beauties before."
After his lengthy compliments, Dewey's eyes sparkled at the sight of Iris and Anna.
Even though they were not heavenly beauties, nevertheless they were attractive. Both had delicate
complexion, and remarkably pretty figures.
"Oh, yes. They are Iris and Anna, the disciples in Pure Dream Convent.
I met them by chance. Then we made a team."
Austin explained, smiling.
Of course, Dewey and Maria were very well aware of the power possessed by the disciples of the Pure
Dream Convent.
"Ha-ha, Tin, why is it that there are always two beauties by your side every time I see you?
I envy you!"
Dewey said as he glanced at Iris and Anna, measuring them with his eyes from top to bottom with his
flirting eyes.
Austin and Maria were not surprised at Dewey's behavior at all, as they knew him very well. However,
Iris and Anna were embarrassed and their cheeks turned red, just like ripe apples.
"By the way, how come you are attacked by those royal warriors?
And, how come Philip was staying with the royals?"
Austin asked curiously.
Then Maria told Austin the story.
Dewey, Maria, and Philip met one another soon after they entered the Mysterious Nether World.
As they all served for Prince Reuben, they formed a team.
However, Dewey and Philip always had a lot of conflicts with each other, because they differed in their
opinion towards Austin.
Philip became furious when both Dewey and Maria expressed their inclination more towards Austin
than him. That made Philip split with them.
A few days later, Philip encountered the royal young warriors.
Surprisingly, all of them supported the Grand Prince in the game of the throne.
Moreover, they would chant crushing suppression on those who served the other princes and made
them serve the Eldest Prince instead. If they dared show the slightest unwillingness, the royal warriors
would behead them immediately.
Prince Reuben's unflinching trust towards Austin was the root cause of Philip's being envious towards
him. Philip hated Austin's guts. Philip changed his allegiance as soon as he was asked to.
And not only that, Philip abetted the royals to hunt down Dewey and Maria.
They tried to escape by all means but failed. They got caught. And what happened after that was
known to Austin.
"I see."
Austin said heaving a sigh. After hearing the whole story, he creased his eyebrows and started to
introspect deeply on the possibilities of the expectant winner of the throne.
Judging from all this, the grand prince enjoyed great power. Unexpectedly, more than twenty young
royals supported him.
And thus, he is most likely to win the game of the throne.
Austin had offended the grand prince by taking away his brides, Ivy, and Sue in the midst of their grand
marriage celebration. Ever since that incident, the grand prince hated Austin. He gave standing
instruction to hunt Austin down and tear him up.
Needless to say, the grand prince's anger could only be pacified only by Austin's death.
As Austin, reflected on the fiasco between the grand prince and himself, one thing became very clear in
his mind.
"Hmmm, such being the case, I surely have to prevent the grand prince from winning the throne.
Because, if I fail, the prince would undoubtedly slaughter me using every possible means. He could
even order the whole empire to stand up against me."
'It is said that there are still many powerful older masters alive. They would all be pretty tough for me to
fight against.
So, I must and should stop the grand prince.
Soon I will go back to the Emperor Library. I am sure to find the soul-recovering fruit at the second
circle of the Mysterious Nether World. I will take it out and give it to Prince Reuben.'
Austin took a prompt decision and urged everyone to set out for the Emperor Library immediately.
Hearing of the Emperor Library, Dewey and Maria became very excited and followed Austin without
any hesitation.
