Shun gasped aloud as he heard the cost of activating the Saint Stele. He was hoping it wasn't something like this. But the reality disappointed him.
He took a deep breath and spoke with a resolute look, "Even if that's the case, you have to do it. You must activate that Saint Stele. Killing a Demon God at the cost of your life is indeed worth it."
King Valliadis had a forced smile on his face as he heard Shun's words. He responded, "I knew you would say something like that. Actually, I was preparing for this situation. This is why I want David to advance to the 6 Star Warrior."
"I will pass all my responsibilities and powers to him before activating the Saint Stele. That should be okay, right?" King Valliadis asked.
Meanwhile, Shun pondered deeply '…If the king dies so suddenly, the entire Kingdom will split apart. It would be much better to wait for David to reach the 6 Star Rank and start handling the entire Kingdom.'
