After arriving at the core area of the barbarian realm which is the barbarian kingdom, Alexander and Anna were guided to the meeting place by royal barbarian guards who were assigned to them as always.
While being escorted into the meeting place, Alexander and Anna wondered where the meeting place is as the path they were taking is different from the before.
"I wonder why the emperor changed the location." Anna whispered to Alexander
"I think something happened that we aren't aware of, but let's not mind those things and just report the demon portal that appeared." Alexander whispered back hoping that the barbarian emperor will heed their request to investigate the demon portal.

After being escorted into a room with an iron door, Alexander was just about to enter when...
"HAHAHAHAHAH!! The 'strongest' barbarian lord sure is late." A boisterous laugh could be heard coming from inside the room.
"I'm sure he must have a reason." Another voice sounded.
"Do not start a fight." An indifferent voice warned.
Recognising the first voice as the lord of the southern plains, Alexander smiled, opened the iron door and said, "Because unlike you whose job is just being a useless fatty i actually have the important job of fighting off demon beasts and protecting our people."
Hearing that, the lord of the southern plains gritted his teeth but didn't say anything anymore as he knows he is not strong enough to fight Alexander.
Seeing him silent, Alexander scoffed and sat in the last empty seat.
The blue crystal in the middle of the round table then shined and showed the image of a white haired muscular barbarian man wearing golden armor drape in a black robe with a horizontal scar on his face.
Seeing the image appearing, all of the 4 barbarian in the room kneeled and greeted, "Greetings Emperor Barbatos."
The image nodded and said, "Rise, the reason why i called a meeting is mainly because Alexander here have something to report about the demons."
Hearing the emperor call his name, Alexander then rises and proceeds to tell about the unusual demon portal to them.
After hearing about Alexander's report, the remaining men was silent as they pondered.
"You all know what this means right? Not only is it the first demon portal to appear since 100 years ago, it is also an unusual one that we know nothing of." Emperor Barbatos said.
"Alexander, i will give you the authority to find out what that demon portal can do." Emperor Barbatos said as he ends the meeting and the image dissappears.
After small talks with his fellow lords about his fight and scar, Alexander told what happened at the meeting to Anna who was delighted that their request was approved.
"Now let's go home and prepare." Alexander said as Anna nodded and they stepped onto the portal to go home.

Meanwhile as his father was in a meeting, Alex was training with his weapons.
"Huff... Huff, this talent is wonderful." Alex who is now lying on the ground with all his weapons at his side smirked.
{It's time to rest host} Sana warned.
"Sure, i'm feeling hungry anyway." Alex got up as he takes his silver spear and hunts a nearby boar he saw.
*WOOOOSHHHH* *PIERCED*
The boar cried out loudly as its body was pierced with Alex's silver spear who dashed to the boar and silenced it by slicing its throat with his silver dagger.
After cutting the boar up and grilling it, Alex proceeded to chow down until there is nothing left anymore.
Feeling his stomach full, Alex smiled in satisfaction as he got up and prepares to train again.

Seeing the two suns setting down, Alex knew that it's time to rest and he did as he put all his weapons in his spatial belt and meditated to again make his mana veins bigger to absorb more mana.
After absorbing and releasing mana for a while, Alex finally breaks through as his veins glow blue and got just a little bigger.
{Congratulations! For breaking through the 5th rank(low) host}
"Whewww it feels good to breakthrough." Alex said as he cracks his neck and stretched.
"I think it's time to return as i have already achieved my goal." Alex said as he packs up and decided to return home tomorrow morning.
