"SHHHH!"
The next second, Simur heard the sound of a blade cutting flesh, and he felt his head drop to the ground, only for his body to follow along.
"¡AHHHHHHHHH!"
Simur screamed in pain as he crawled away from the Scarlet King while desperately touching his neck. He could calm down after a few seconds and understood he had not suffered any actual injury. It was all some sort of illusion.
The Scarlet King only smiled as he waved his hand, making the saber vanish as two Atrox with special armor entered the hall. One was Damos, the Marshal he met when he reached Evernight, while the other was a Peak Wave King who immediately headed toward Marian.
"My Lady, who did this to you?"
The Peak Wave King seemed to be related to Marian and must have come to this place after the young woman triggered some type of silent rescue signal.
Marian's mind was still foggy as the slap had caused a severe concussion, but she clenched her teeth as she pointed her finger toward Cain.
"It was that mutt. Break that beast's arms!"
The Peak Wave King turned toward the Scarlet King, and his eyes burned with rage as he intended to do exactly what the young woman asked.
The Scarlet King saw the killing intent in the Peak Wave King, but his smile did not fade. Even if he had yet to reach his previous peak, a Wave King could not threaten him. Besides, he was sure that a fight would not happen.
"Enough!"
Before things could escalate further, Damos shouted, using his immense power to freeze everybody's movement as his Ego Wave inundated the hall.
"Today's gala has ended. Everybody leave now and return to your homes."
"What, how can he leave without punishment after attacking me? Uncle, do something."
"I assume you must be wondering what sort of interest I have in you."
Astrid did not say a word, and she only stared at the Scarlet King with equal parts suspicion and expectation.
"I don't know anything about your background, nor do I understand your condition quite well. What drew me to you was that golden book."
The Scarlet King did not hide his intention from the woman, and as expected, Astrid immediately took a step away and held the book tightly against her chest.
Once he saw the woman's reaction, the Scarlet King only smiled before raising his hand. The next second, a small sphere with a flame the size of a fist glowing with nine different colors appeared.
All the suspicion in Astrid's eyes faded as she saw that flame, and she immediately approached it, standing so close to the Scarlet King that they nearly collided.

"That is a 9 Revolution Flame!"
Astrid could barely believe her eyes as she turned toward the Scarlet King with utter excitement and thrill.
"You are an Enhancer, a Tribulation Enhancer!"
The Scarlet King saw the excitement in the young woman's eyes, but he shook his head.
"I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not. My Master handed this over. He said I have some innate talent for Enhancement and gave me this with a mission. Find its true nature, learn to make one on my own, and then perform a refinement of a biological body. Only then would he teach me his secrets."
Astrid's eyes lost some excitement when she heard that Kain was not a Tribulation Enhancer. Still, it came back when she heard about this so-called Master and how he could generate Refinement Flames beyond the 9 Revolutions.
The Scarlet King noticed the young woman could not take her eyes off the sphere and continued.
"There are around two hours until we reach your home. How about if I allow you to inspect the 9 Revolution Flame, and you lend me the golden book?"
