The Beast Empire is located on the far east of the map, it is known that the tribes of the Beast Empire are secluded because of the massive mountain range that separates them from the other clans, the only way to reach the Beast Empire is thru the Lions Gate, not like the Vulcan Empire where the Human Kingdom holds the right to rule because of the Great Holy War, The Beast Empire is made out of 13 Tribes, The Royal Family known as Lionel Tribe who resembles the Lions, Panthera Tribe which resembles the Tigers, Loxodon Tribe which resembles the Elephants, Prima Tribe which Resembles the Monkeys, Tauru Tribe which resembles the Ox, Lacertia Tribe which resembles the lizards, Canis Tribe which resembles the dogs, Ursid Tribe which resembles the bears, Capra Tribe which resembles the goats, Felis Tribe which resembles the cats, Wolva Tribe which resembles the wolves, Serpen Tribe which resembles the Snakes and the Oryct Tribe which resembles the rabbits.
This 13 Tribes always fought for power, because in the Beast Empire only the strongest matters.
Before venturing to the Beast Empire, Endless and Zidyn visited the central park where the memorial of Master Zafir was being held.
"A Monument? is he a great man?" Zidyn asked.
"Yes he is, he sacrificed his life to save many, by the way, do you know that you're from another world?" Endless asked.
"Yes, I remember it clearly, there's a coming war and I'm sitting on the War Room before you summoned me", Zidyn said.
"I see, can you tell me about your father?" Endless said.
"My father...He died before I was born, my mom always told me that he is a great man, devoted his life for the demon clan and died with honors in the Great Demonic War". Zidyn explained.
"The Great demonic war!?" Endless asked.
"So the great war didn't happen here? The Great Demon war is a revolt that was started by the Seven Sins, They fought against the Demon King who became hungry for power and started invading the neighboring kingdoms, My Mother was the first daughter of the Vermon Family who is the direct descendant of the late king, because of this she must be sacrificed in exchange for immortality, I think that's the main reason why my father joined the war." Zidyn explained.
"I see, so history defers from every world", Endless said.
"Master, This man, who is he?", Zidyn said.
"He is your father... but not on this world, you didn't have the chance to be born in this world," Endless said.
"I see, can I pay my respects?" Zidyn requested.
"Take your time". Endless said.
Zidyn then approached the monument and summoned a scythe made of blood. The demons who are gathered in front of the monument was shocked.
"W...What are you doing!?, summoning a weapon here is prohibited!" Endless shouted.
Zidyn then started swinging the spear gracefully, circling the monument.
"What are you doing!?" Endless shouted.
"It's the dance of the dead", Endless heard a familiar voice.
Endless looked back and saw a familiar face, standing in front of him is the young lady who rescued him after the great event, Ophelia.
"O...Ophelia?"
"Do you know that young man?"Ophelia asked.
"He's Zidyn, my Personal Guard, what is the dance of the dead?", Endless asked.
"It's an old ceremonial dance performed by the relatives of the one who passed away, this ceremony died after the Great Holy War, many demons perished with there families and the ceremonial dance died with them," Ophelia said.
"So is it okay to let him do it?", Endless asked.
"Let him be, Zafir deserves the ceremonial dance, we never thought that there is someone who knows the Dance of the Dead, Even for me, this is my first time seeing it," Ophelia said.
As the two watched Zidyn dance all around the monument, the demons who are watching started to mourn, and some of them started crying. After the dance the people of the Demon Empire started to approach the monument to offer flowers, Zidyn walked up to Endless.
"Thank you, master, for letting me perform the ceremonial dance, In my world, I didn't have the chance to bid my father a better farewell," Zidyn said.
Endless then looked at Ophelia
"Ah... He means he's from another country!", Endless said.
"I'm not dumb like you, I know how the summoning of the Guardians works", Ophelia said.
"I'm sorry, Are you a friend of my master," Zidyn asked.
"Not a friend, more of an acquaintance, What is your name boy?" Ophelia asked.
"Zidyn Valiandosa madam", Zidyn said.
"I see, so you came from a world where Zafir lived a happy life, that is good to hear", Ophelia said.
Suddenly a group of masked people appeared behind Ophelia, one of them whispered something on Ophelia's ear.
"I must go, I have to do something important, Thank you for accompanying me," Ophelia said
Ophelia turned his back and started walking away.
"Madam, may I know your name?" Zidyn asked.
"Ophelia...Ophelia Vermon."
"That explains why she helped Master Zafir out", Endless said.
"So that girl...That girl is my cousin?" Zidyn said.
"I don't know, it's complicated," Endless said.
The two then teleport themselves back to Clad Village, from there they will have to walk and follow the road to East. Along the way, the two killed level 10 monsters Brown Wolf, Level 15 Mad Bear and Level 20 Hell Plant, Endless became level 30 and Zidyn reached level 20.
After reaching level 20 a notification pops up on Endless interface.

"I thought Personal Guards Class advancement is also triggered by Class Tomes? is it because you're special?" Endless looked at Zidyn, He then pressed Y

"Hmmm. Zidyn, I want you to choose on your own, can you do it?" Endless said.
"Are you sure master?", Zidyn asked.
"Do you know anything about Blood Demon and Blood Sorcerer?" Endless asked.
"Blood Demons specialized mainly on melee damage with a little bit of Blood Magic, while Blood Sorcerer specialized in Blood Casting". Zidyn asked.
"What do you think?"
"If I were to choose...I will choose Blood Demon, Blood Demons magic specialized in binding opponent and can help you more if I specialize in close combat." Zidyn explained
"Okay then", Endless then choose Blood Demon

"Nice Skills!, and you even have a Special Title, so this is the power of a Special Guard who is ranked Epic" Endless was surprised.
"Thank you, master, I can now help you more on your future fights," Zidyn said.
"Then let's go straight to the Beast Empire and test your new-found skills.
The two followed the road and after 2 hours of walking, the two arrived in front of the Lions Gate, A silver door with a height of 500 ft blocks there way.
"So this is the Lions Gate", Endless said.
Two guards guarded the gate, they're from the Prima Tribe which resembles the monkey. As the two approach the gate, a tall monkey wearing gladiator-like armor intercepted them.
"My name is Ceazar, Leader of the Prima Clan and the one who guards the Lions Gate, State your business here".
"I'm Endless, and this is my personal Guard Zidyn, we came here from the Kingdom and we are here to do some business on the guilds stationed at the Beast Empire."
"Everyone who enters the Path of the Beast needs to complete a quest", Ceazar said.

"Get ready... This game is a Battle Royal!"
