While Sungjin was enjoying his vacation, the Golden Wise King was vacationing as well.

  Except the vacation was not at the beach but at a strategy conference in the capital.

  The capital of Eldorado, Palkantier.

  The conference room was full of dukes and their servants.

  Normally, the gathering of the Golden Wise King and his six dukes happened once a year. This was because orders were usually given 1:1.

  But everyone had been called to gather, when it hadn’t been a year.

  Every duke knew what it meant.

  It’s time.

  The 100 years of stalemate is over.

  The Golden Wise King Kapitle and the High Priest Pedrian.

  And the four country alliance which balanced their powers.

  The continent had been split into three pieces and had not swayed its power balance for over 100 years.

  Kapitle and Pedrian were wary of each other, and the four country alliance had balanced their powers.

  But now there was only Kapitle and Sungjin.

  There was no equilibrium to be found.

  It would take a moment for the balance to tilt to one side.

  Who would it be?

  If Kapitle won, they would be able to keep their prosperity, but if Sungjin won, they were bound to become humiliated.

  But they didn’t worry too much.

  After all, Kapitle’s only enemy, Pedrian, had disappeared.

  If they thought about it, it was obvious that Sungjin, who had defeated Pedrian, was stronger. But they knew the truth.

  That extra didn’t win with his own powers.

  The tables had turned on Pedrian because the summoning he had prepared had been unbalanced and the opposing god had descended.

  But that was a one-time event. Sungjin himself was still a level 0.

  Moreover, it was said that Kapitle had manipulated the situation.

  Even if the hunting dog had killed the tiger, in the end the tiger had been killed by the hunter.

  It was obvious what kind of fate the hunting dog would meet after having done its job.

  The world said Sungjin was a young lion from a different world, but they thought of him as a hunting dog to be put down.

  There was nothing to fear.
