A cart was moving slowly towards a mountain. Inside it was three people, a boy and two girls.
"It's been two days since we left the royal capital. We will now enter the territory of the Marquess Raven. What do you guys want to do..?"
Adam asked.
"Let's just leave. After all, I've heard from my father that, Marquess Raven is very lustful person. I don't want to meet such a person." Ruby declared with a disgusted face. Nodding to her, Adriel also agreed. He explained it's fine if they don't want to meet the marquess, but if they want to buy something later, it would take at least 10 more days before they can reach the next destination.
The girls were fine too. So, he continued to drive the cart without stopping....

Ten days later....
After travelling these days, the trio was now standing in front of world's largest underground road and tomb.
"So this is the tomb of Claxcez huh..." Adam muttered.
"Yeah... Now that i think about it, I guess I was really lucky..." Adriel said with a blank look on her face.
"Did you travelled through this tomb alone..? I've heard that, it is one of the dangerous and biggest tombs in history. How did you even survived..?" Ruby asked with visible concern and confusion.
Chuckling awkwardly, Adriel explained, "No. Even I would not be courageous enough to go through this type of place alone. I was lucky enough to follow a group of adventures travelling from Brine to Grania..."
Ruby nodded. Adam also understood how dangerous it is for anyone without strength to pass through such a place. And the danger wasn't just monsters and traps. If they are not prepared well, they may die from lack of water or hunger. Also, the air inside the tomb wasn't the best for humans to breathe. There is also the problem of multiple routes, which would confuse some people.
"If I am right, this place was named 'Claxcez' because of the strongest monster of this tomb. I've learned that, it is a monster with at least the strength of a peak master magus, which rampaged in the past and killed at least 1,00,000 people."
Ruby and Adriel trembled at the mention of this. "That's right. It was one of the most known tragedies happened to Grania."
"Yeah... People of my empire was victims to this tragedy too..."
Although he too knew about that past, he was curious. So he asked, "Couldn't your fathers do anything..?"
The one to answer was Adriel. "Actually, they tried. It wasn't just my father. Even the king of Grania as well as king of Brine went to subjugate the monster. But, when they reached its place, they were forced to return. When asked, my father only said that, they felt something strong, stronger than all of them was waiting as if trying to guide them like some random children. I don't know what. But I can only say that, he was scared. My father, who was a 'Holy knight' was scared! Do you know what that means..?"
"There was something seriously dangerous at the depths of the tomb." Ruby answered. Adriel nodded and continued,
"It's no wonder this tomb is called one of the world's dangerous tomb...." She was feeling very tired now.
Adam who heard all this was very curious. He smiled and led them to the entrance and payed the money for entering. After entering, he saw that, there were a lot of people walking to and from the tomb. But, ignoring everyone, he activated his eyes of omniscience and looked straight down. He smiled.
Seeing him look down and smile, Ruby asked, "What's wrong Addy..?"
He whispered in her ear, "I've found something interesting. I'd like to take a look. Do you want to come along..?" Of course Adriel heard it as well.
Feeling very suspicious, Adriel asked with a low voice, "Don't tell me its related to Claxcez..?" Her suspicion was correct as Adam smiled. As she was about to scream, he covered her mouth and disappeared alongside Ruby.
As soon as he reached an isolated place, he let her go. She looked very angry as she loudly exclaimed, "No! What are you thinking Adam..?! I won't let you go only to die..!"
She tightly held his hand. Adam but explained. "Don't worry. If my guess is right, that feeling, your father said he felt was not Claxcez. In fact there is something more stronger than it inside this tomb. And it seemed to be searching for someone. I don't know, but I feel like it's asking for help."
His explanation were full of holes, which made her more angry as she asked, "Your guess..? What if you guessed wrong..?! And what's with your explanation..? It's as if you understand what the monster is talking..!"
He could only sigh. He created a map from what he found about this tomb and handed it to the girls.
"Although I don't want to do this either, it is emergency. So, I will give you two this crystal. In case of danger, just pass your magic through it. I will go alone." He said and walked away without waiting for their answer.
"Ugh..! You idiot! As if I can leave you alone!" She threw the crystal at his head and ran towards him. Ruby followed as well.
"What you said is true. It's very dangerous. But, I feel like I have to do this. I will be fine. I am not so weak..."
The girls wanted to ask, how strong he can be, but their eyes widened when he released his true aura, which was shaking the entire tomb.
"Y-Y-You! How is this possible..?! You are a Magic King as well..?! No! Your aura is stronger than my father's..!"
Ruby was the most shocked one. Now she understood why her father acknowledged Adam. Even though he was only showing his Magic king level strength, both Ruby and Adriel could tell that, his strength was completely different from others of the same level. This means he is currently the strongest and youngest Magic King and Advanced Master Knight!
"That's a little wrong. I am not Magic King. I've already surpassed that level of strength."
The two couldn't believe their ears. Even if they won't want to believe it, for an instance, hypothetically, if it was true, that means, he is the first human to become as strong as world's strongest races.
"If what you said is true, then aren't you at the same level as the Spirit Queen and Dragon Emperor...?"
The only people in this world with the same strength was Dragon Emperor and Spirit Queen. In the first place, one needs a lot of time to be stronger. It's thanks to their long lives life that, the spirit Queen and Dragon emperor was able gain such a power. As for, Adam, he was just an anomaly.
"That's right. That is why, you don't have to worry. Besides, I am not alone. Since I already let you know my secret, I may as well as tell you this. The girl you met in the room, with multi colored hair is called Celeste. She is a spirit. And not just a normal spirit. She's the current spirit Queen."
Ending his explanation, Adam allowed the two girls to load everything in to their brain.
"What..!? Wait! Doesn't that mean, you are the husband of the Spirit Queen..!? Adriel asked with a dumbfounded face.
" No! The most important thing is, those who can use spiritualism can actually unify with their contracted spirit and become even stronger! So, what will happen if two beings at the pinnacle unify..!? What kind of strength will he have..!?"
Ruby was the one who understood his meaning of explanation. He smiled and said, "That's right. If I were to unify with Celeste, nothing in this world can stand before us. That's why, you don't have to worry. "
He said and walked towards a certain direction. After looking at each other, the two girls sighed and followed him....
