A long time ago, during the war with the demons, Avalon, the symbol of the alliance to fight against the demon king, almost fell.
Since that day, the previous emperor, Julius' predecessor, came up with a plan. Six cities strategically around Avalon with one mission provide a magic source to activate Avalon's ultimate shield.
Hidden in these six cities was a magic circle that would simultaneously activate under the emperor's command. This shield would be used only in extreme cases.
''So, you are saying that a part of the magic circle is here at the west side. The reason why Elesim was divided and managed by four persons was to guard the different parts of the magic circle?" Sam questioned while killing another skeleton, this time, and it was a two-headed dog skeleton.
''Exactly, this plate gives access to the underground part where the core of the magic circle on the west side is located.''
While telling Sam's group this, Clemens handed over a small silver plate to Sam. He believes that at the moment, Sam was the more qualified to hold this. It's not that Clemens didn't fear Sam being a spy; it's because he believes he wasn't. They may have known each other just today, but from Sam's conduct, Clemens could swear that he is an upright man, and just in the case, Sam turns out to be a spy, a traitor, the defensive mechanism inside the small plate would have activated when Sam would try using it. To successfully control this thing, one needs Clemens blood and approval; if not, it is pretty useless.
The moment Sam took the plate, he did nothing but stored it away. The demon from the undead race eyes glowed red with envy when he saw what he was after at air breath. Although Sam stored it away, the demon wasn't concerned over such a small matter; to him, recovering that plate was easy as crushing an ant. He must not fall if not all the sacrifice they made would have been for naught.
To successfully tame that firedrake, they lost many men; with the drake rampage, the Duke, the only Rank 11, and some powerful adventurers would leave the city to help the Duke kill the Firedrake. With this, they could infiltrate the westside and destroyed the core of the magic circle. Usually, the core should have been placed under the supervision of the Duke in the central part of the city; however, it was not what was done; they may be able to trick others thinking that it was under the Duke house; however, the Supreme being, knew it was on the west side, reason of this demon presence, he first lured Randall to revolt, and when Clemens would show up he would appear and snatch the key (the plate) for opening the array protecting the core of the magic circle and break it. That was the plan; however, a variable happened.
As Sam (Alex) speculated, the demon wishes to start another war. To deal a tremendous blow to other races, they must destroy the strongest empire; it is to say, the floating capital, Avalon, the symbol of power.
''Time to get rid of you measly pest.'' The demon said before raising his arms again; this time, he summoned another two skeleton generals whose level was 63.
Sam dodged a snake's skeleton tail before crushing its skull along its core with a heavy splitting kick. Just as he was landing, Sam used the opportunity to appraise the demon.

'Sakuya, please knock the Baron out. This man is too strong for us to conceal our strength. We must stop them from completing their goal at all cost.'
Sam (Alex) sent Sakuya a telepathic message. Because she could also feel the urgency of their situation, Mio (Sakuya) didn't question Alex's order; she moved and appeared behind Clemens and knocked him out.
''Time to crack some more skulls and break someone's plans.'' Alex, while cracking his neck, he didn't remove his disguise but remove the seal he had put on his body to limit his powers.
Boom!
A strong aura burst from his body, instantly erasing the weak skeletons surrounding him.
Vidaal's expression changed when he saw the change Alex went through. Simultaneously Sakuya and Lilith also released their seal; one was Rank 8 while the other was Rank 10.
''I see. So you were hiding your strength. No wonder you look so confident when facing us. However, do you think unprepared?"
Just as he finished saying this, Vidaal removed his right eye and crushed it.
''Eye of Solon.''
Boom!
Following Vidaal shout, the crushed red-eye emitted a red light that covered him and his three skeleton generals.
Under the astonished group eyes, they grew in size and became more powerful, jumping from Level 65 to 70.
Meanwhile, Vidaal himself jumped from Rank 10 to 11; his right became white like his left eye.

'Wow! He became really strong; what a Wonderful ability.' Alex muttered.
〖This not the time to joke. It would be best if you quickly took care of him before someone comes. Although he became powerful, you won't have trouble taking care of him.〗Silveria chided Alex seeing his playful smile.
'Sigh! I know.' Alex responded before saying to the girls.
''Girls, I will let you take care of the three big guys while I will handle this bag of bones.''
Although, after using the Eye of Solon, Vidaal had gained height, he remains skinny.
Being called a bag of bones again enraged him, so Vidaal decided to teach this cocky human a lesson.
