Chapter 67 - Nocturna's Thoughts

The man was an above average-looking man that looked to be in his forties. He stood six feet and six inches tall with a tough and explosive muscular body. The man's graying hair signified his age, but his overwhelming charisma and sword-like eyebrows would make women fall head over heels for him. And the aura he produced may be a bit dominating and imperious, but the kind smile hanging on his lips change the overall atmosphere around him. A well-balanced man, that was Cale's thought after looking at Atlas.

The woman, on the other hand, had hair as white as snow, her eyebrows which were similarly white gave her a detached air. Her face was immortal-like, chiseled to perfection, her lips which was as red as ripe persimmon looked seductive but pure at the same time, her golden pupils shone a strange light of holiness like an untainted gem, the curves on her body was just on the right size, not so big and not too small and her skin which was as flawless as jade had a milky white color giving her a youthful and sacred vibe. Although she was a half-human and half-elf, her ears were still human-like aside from it being a bit pointy. 

Two pairs of eyes were scrutinizing the masked man in front of them. They felt the strength of an early-stage Emperor-Class level on him which was fairly weaker than the both of them, but something about him surprised them greatly. The man's mysterious air was just too strong and his overflowing charisma made them unconsciously have a good first impression on him. The man had the qualities of a great leader and ruler, a man destined to one-day reign supreme.

"The both of you may stand up. My name is Cale, but when I have this mask on, I am Wolf King. Just make sure to remember that." The man spoke with intense clarity and charm making them both unknowingly nod their heads. 

"Good! Atlas and Nocturna, from now on you will be my swords but don't worry, I will treat you well." Cale flashed a bright smile instantly dispelling the uneasiness on their hearts.

Cale patted Atlas's shoulder and rubbed Nocturna head softly making both of them smile involuntarily.

Cale then turned around and walked a few steps before he said. "Stay here and guard me for now and don't let anyone inside, unless something important came up that needs my presence."

"Yes, Wolf King!"

"As you say, Wolf King."

Both of them answered after bowing their heads slightly. Cale's body then turned stiff and stopped moving, making them both quite confused.

They walked forward and looked at his expression. They saw that his eyes were closed as if he was in a deep sleep, his breathing was normal, but the aura around him can no longer be felt as if he had turned into a normal person.

"Place him on the sofa, that thing should be the reason for this." An angelic voice traveled like a beautiful melody in Atlas' ears. He glanced briefly at the fairy-like countenance of the Elven Princess and nodded his head. He carried Cale's body and placed him gently on the sofa.

Nocturna sat down and placed Cale's head on her lap, her expression full of tenderness and care as he caressed Cale's face. He might be wearing a mask, but it failed to cover his devilishly charming outline. 'What a strange power. It makes us feel that this man is our closest kin and family. But this thing also saved our lives during our world's destruction, and the man he chose to bear its power can never be mediocre. Don't disappoint us, Wolf King, don't disappoint as Cale. As the bearer of its power, you are the only one who can stop those people from taking over the whole multiverse...'

Atlas who was standing at the side was similarly glancing at Cale with a complicated expression. He too was also drowning in his own deep thoughts. He kept on sighing and shaking his head as if he had regretted something in his past life.

Cale's vision warped making him feel a bit nauseous, but he was getting familiar with this feeling. After his vision returned to normal, he saw the familiar training room. He then felt his original body being touched by someone, but he did not feel any ill-intentions so he just let it be. 'It must be Atlas or Nocturna. Well, with them being there, no one should be able to assassinate me, even those goddamn demi-humans would not be able to! With strength at the peak of Emperor-Class and the middle stage of Divine-Class, they are the perfect pair of guardians who can protect me and the others.'

He then went inside the Gravity Training Room with a gaze as sharp as a sacred sword.

"Is this the Tyrannical Tower that you speak of?" The tone of voice contained a bit of surprise as the owner of the voice glanced at the towering skyscraper in front of him. The tower was giving off a majestic atmosphere as if it was a gigantic shield protecting the vicinity without rest.

Zero glanced at the man in front of him with a proud smile while nodding his head twice. "Eilhard, this is indeed the Tyrannical Tower that houses countless elite fighters and all of them had strengths greater than yours. So be good and learn from them, then maybe one day, you will surpass them." Zero's teasing smile made Eilhard's twitch, but he still forced out a smile. "I hope I won't be disappointed with these elite fighters that you speak of Mr. Zero."

Zero merely smiled in response and walked with confident steps. Eilhard followed behind him, but he was still a bit doubtful of the boastful Zero. 'Hundreds of elite fighters who are stronger than me? So your group is many times stronger than the late Verreine Camorra? I'll see if the words from this prick are indeed true, if not then I will leave.'
