in one of the hall in skyfire sect the elders and sect leader are gathered having heated discussion, with how much tension and ranging aura in the room one will think war is about to break out
"sect leader this is too much, first they had two blessed ones, we could hold our peace cause the two are odd combination, with proper coordination from our group we will still come out victorious, their blessing also can't be used on their team member."
"seventh elder is right sect leader, we were already have trouble with that pesky blessing of the little girl, still looking for a way to balance our side up, another one just showed up to make things difficult"
"but third elder we have nothing to worry about, he is not a blessed one, he is just a talented genius"
"twelve elder I didn't think with all you years of experience and awareness, you will fall for such chip trick, they obviously don't want to tell us, so as to let our guard down" first elder mentioned.
"calm down every one, we can't allow this Dio of a person disrupt our plans, we have to fill in the gap's, we ought to be thinking of ideas to fix this not escalating the issue with unnecessary arguments"
"so what should we do about this kid then?" fifth elder ask
"I suggest we get rid of the problem by uprooting it completely" first elder proposed.
"are you implying we use underhand means to get rid of him?"
"yes of course, we all know how efficient the assassin's guild work, even the royals are careful and mindful of it. we just have to pose a mission to them with bountiful reward and that kid is good as dead."
"aren't you forgetting he is the successor now, he will always have someone to protect him from the shadow, which assassin in his right mind will want to go on that mission, if you were an assassin and was giving this mission will you do it?"
"-"
"let give it a try, also send message to every of our spies in the sect, telling them that who ever can get him down or provide an appropriate information on how to get him down will be rewarded awesomely" the patriarch added. concluding the meeting everyone went off to carry out various instruction given to them.
the same meeting is been held in the royal academy.
"patriarch from what we have gather so far about this dio junior, he sure is the same I reported to you several months ago, the kid from Akron who practice a demonic techniques and has a lot of secret" the royal envoy spoke up.
"Blake are you sure they are the same person, I remember you reporting back after returning from the search that every trace of him just disappeared, like he never existed at all" another elder questioned.
"am sure its him, that also explained why I couldn't find him, he ran to the Greenleaf sect after that incident."
"if he truly is him, then we have an upper hand in dealing with him, I also remember he has a friend who is in our sect from the report you gave, send him to confirm it. if it turn out to be true, ask him to persuade him to switch side but if he refuse publish an accusation to Greenleaf sect for abhorring a thief and rogue wanted by Akron city and the royals, put them under pressure why you pose a mission to eliminate him why the storm is brewing, to stay on the safe side, make the request anonymous" the patriarch and emperor of the blue wind empire.
back at Greenleaf sect
five youths are stealth heading towards the forest not to far from the sect.
a little while the arrived at a cave not to deep into the Forest.
"I am here to introduced someone Dio ask us to work with and also make plans on how we are going to carry out his request"
"what did he request of us" Amos ask rather anxious
"we are to train and increase our cultivation, more importantly he ask us to get beast core, the more the merrier, quantity and quality. the higher the grade the better for his plan'
"where is he now, why is he not here with us, I thought he wanted to meets us here that was why you called us out here" Daniel probed.
"he has gone into close door seclusion, and will be coming out in a year time, that's why he ask us to train and prepare, he also ask us to learn more techniques. one more thing the left his tamed beast to assist us out."
"tamed beast? what tamed beast?"
"its name is blood and he is inside that cave" pointing to the cave right behind them.
hearing is name been called blood flash out of the cave and was standing in front of them in an instant.
seeing the speed and a rank seven aura emitting from blood, they felt their heart tighten.
"we will be hunting with blood here to gather beast core, while we also temper ourselves also."
everyone nodded and felt like it a good idea. coming to this conclusion, they set our for their first core hunt.

a young man was pacing around on anger and frustration, this young man is Dexter, ever since he came back from grand elder quarter his suppressed anger and hate for Dio burst out.
"I can believed it, how has the mighty me fallen, this is outrageous, a stand in champion, I got to do all the work while he gets to do nothing, Dio I promise I will kill you if its the last thing I do" he roared. just then someone step into his room.

"what are you doing here Donald?"
"aren't I your friend anymore, I came to see my friend and chance at him swearing"
"that crook ruin my life, and I won't rest until I pay back in same coin"
"I can help you with that you know" Donald mentioned with a sly smile.
"what can you even do? we can touch him now, he is out of our reach"
"what if I tell you I have a way, will you take it"
"if it could help me get my revenge am in"
"you might be going against Greenleaf sect"
"they don't regard me anymore, i don't mind doing same"
"then make an oath to keep our conversation a secret"
*swearing the oath*
"join the Royal, switch side and be part of us, we will give you a position you well deserve and an opportunity to get your revenge"
"but you know I cant just go over to your side, it will cause trouble for both sides"
"you won't basically leave the sect, you will stay with them but work for us, you would weakened their force and send any vital information to us, they won't suspect a thing, when the inter dimension opens we can kill him there, what do you say?"
think for a while he smiled. AM IN.
