Chapter - 67 [ Meeting! ]

After explaining everything about what they were doing until now, they told him that they completed their mission. It was to find any priceless treasures and miracle making things found within the tomb.

The team to find the most valuable treasure will be the winners. After appraising through each of their findings, he told them, that the most valuable treasure in their hands is a B-Rank which is the same rank as A - rank Adventures or Master Knight level.

The rankings for Adventures were like this :

Rank Adventurer

- Trainee - E Rank

- Intermediate Trainee - D Rank

- Knight - C Rank

- Arch Knight - B Rank

- Master Knight - A Rank

- Advanced Master Knight - S Rank

- Holy Knight - Extra Rank

As for Rankings of Treasures found inside the tomb :

Knight Rank Treasure

- Trainee - F Rank

- Intermediate Trainee - E Rank

- Knight - D Rank

- Arch Knight - C Rank

- Master Knight - B Rank

- Advanced Master Knight - A Rank

- Holy Knight - S Rank

So with the treasure with the rank of B, they have found something of a caliber of Master Knight. Now all they need to do is to go back and report. But before they were about to leave, Adam tried using his eyes of omniscience to know more about this dungeon-like construct.

Unsurprisingly, he found space and time elemental fluctuations in this place. Another thing was that, just like an ordinary dungeon, this one had different floors as well. The fluctuations of energy increased as he probed more deeply.

Understanding there is something else, that is not known to the world hiding at the end of the dungeon, he felt very curious. But wanting to investigate without endangering the girls, he decided to do it at a later date.

After some time, he opened a gate to Jace's room and let the trio of vampires wait there. Then he walked with the girls to the entrance of the dungeon.

Welcoming Adam and his team, the teachers who were camping outside, and some of the students who were waiting with them smiled at them. Among the students were Raiser, Rubelia and their two teammates from the same class.

As they have yet to acquaint themselves with everyone in their class, they didn't know who they were. But Adam and the girls were taken aback when they saw Rubelia grinning while Raiser smiled meaningfully at them.

Without even asking why they are acting like this, Adam understood this has something to do with their findings.

So he asked, "I wonder what you guys got...?"

Beating him to the punch, Rubelia said making Raiser to continue smiling, "You will have to wait! I am sure you will be more than just shocked!"

Seeing her face was like 'a rival who challenged him and won against him so easily'. He could only smile.

They were given a time limit up to evening. But after some time later, all the competitors returned with some of them having a smile and others having a sad face.

Seeing all the students have returned, the teacher in charge of the training program announced loudly,

"Everyone has returned safely! Now it's time to see which team won. Everyone! Show your valuable treasures."

Obeying him, all of them began to show their own findings. Making others gasp, Adam and the girls placed a golden shield with green colored gems in the middle, on the table.

"A B- rank Shield! Good work you guys!"

The teacher was excited. But making all of them stop breathing, Rubelia placed her team's treasure which was a sword with a rusty hilt. But everyone couldn't underestimate the sword just because of a rusted hilt. It's sheath gave them a majestic feeling. The sheath even though old as the sword was, didn't look shabby. Having white colored sheath with golden stripes it looked like a weapon of a majestic king.

"An S - rank sword..!" The teacher was now feeling dizzy. How rare was such a thing..!? Even though it's only in the same rank as a holy Knight or Magic king, it can output an attack power surpassing them.

Now Adam understood why Rubelia was smirking at him. But not wanting to compete with a child, he nodded to Raiser in a complimentary manner.

Seeing that he wasn't bothered by her victory, Rubelia pouted adorably which did not escape Raiser's eyes. But not wanting to embarrass his sister, he only smiled wryly.

After announcing the winners, they all were dismissed in order to have a good rest. Adam led the girls to the entrance of the girls dormitory before leaving for Jace's room.

As he arrived, he saw the trio talking amongst themselves. Not wanting to obstruct their family time, he was about to leave when Jace called out to him with a serious face.

"What's wrong..? Why so serious..?"

His question was the trigger to her sigh as she answered,

"As a Magic King rank, My father's presence was noticed by the king. He appeared out of nowhere and said to come and explain what is going on. As my father is already an acquaintance of the king, he said, he will go by himself. But no matter what, I am a little skeptical about this. I am not worried about his safety as he is strong enough to survive on his own. But I am worried if he will allow us to live here anymore."

Understanding her concerns, Adam asked, "Then how about I come with you guys..?"

This made even Damon surprised. As they knew he was hiding his strength, they didn't understand why he was now going to show himself.

"Why Adam..? I know you don't want to show your strength like that..?"

Nodding his head Adam responded, "In fact, I wasn't really trying to not show my strength. If word spreads saying there is a young strongest existence in this world, maybe even war will break out. Besides I didn't have any confidence to stop everyone without killing them. But now it is different."

She felt confused now. "Why is that..?"

"Because I am stronger now."

"What..?"

She didn't understand. What does he mean by stronger..?

"It means, I am already stronger than a magic King. I am currently at the same level as Celeste. So I am not scared of anyone or worried about anyone trying to do anything behind my back."

This made the trio of vampires to gulp nervously. He said he was stronger now. He said he is as strong as the spirit queen. Wasn't he just 18-19 years old..? How was this possible..?

But already getting used to his anomalous existence, they all sighed in defeat before Jace said, "Very well. We should go together. But if there's no problems, I don't want you to show yourself. Just hide and see what's going to happen."

"When are we going..?" He asked.

"Now." Jace said without even sparing a minute. Since he wasn't busy or tired, he nodded before he opened a gate to the entrance of the royal palace. He made himself, Damon and Lucia invisible using illusions, before Jace walked forward and entered the palace after notifying the guard.

The king of the country, Rastus est Grania was resting on a chair placed near the garden behind his room. As he was worrying about something, one of the guards came reporting someone is here to talk with him. Knowing who it is, he allowed permission.

After waiting for a while, he saw Jace, the teacher at the Royal Academy walking towards him alone. He was slightly disappointed, as he expected someone else to come with her. Dismissing the guard, Rastus was about to ask her about that person, he saw two more people appearing out of thin air behind her.

As he was about to attack them thinking it was an enemy, he stopped when he saw a familiar face. It was the king of vampires.

"Forgive me for coming this late, your majesty. As you said, I've brought my father and sister with me. You already know my father. And this is my sister Lucia."

Lucia only bowed a little. While Damon nodded his head to Rastus.

"I know. Now if you care to explain, why is he here..? I did allow you to live here, because you weren't a threat. But that isn't the case for a Magic King and the king of another country. If you can't convince me, then you will have to leave this country."

Although it was kind of ruthless, he doesn't have anything to owe her. So it was for the safety of his country.

"I am not a king anymore, Boy. I gave up my position to another. Besides I wasn't here to stay. I only came here to see my daughter and thank you for saving her."

"What..? What do you mean you are not the king..? I've heard from Jace that something happened in your country. But what happened, to make you give up your position..?"

Although he felt annoyed, he wasn't going to deny his words 'boy' as he was a junior compared to this more than 3000 year old vampire. He respected the old.

"A lot happened. You too should be careful. There is a group of existences stronger than us trying to destroy everything in this world. I can only say this much. After all, I don't have any knowledge about such things."

"What enemies..? Stronger than us..? Are you talking about demons..? dragons...? Or spirits..?"

"None of them. I told you. It isn't an existence you have knowledge of. We need to listen to a professional in it."

"Professional..? Who..?"

As this was something they already planned, Damon pointed to an empty area of air which confused Rastus. But making him jump from his seat, he saw another presence walking towards him slowly.

Seeing that Damon and the girls were not on guard, he relaxed. But making him shocked, he saw a boy with familiar features of someone he knows.

"You..! Could it be.."

Smiling at Rastus, Adam said, "That's right, Uncle. I am Adam. Adam Aves Aldians. Son of your brother, Arthur."
