Chapter 135: Assemble The Beast Kings
’We scarcely have need for money... Ten thousand dollars is a trivial sum for the Valhalla family, and equally insignificant for the Borodino lineage, Chloe... Leyla is now effectively my half-sister, granting her access to her own substantial allowance. This paltry sum will be best directed towards Advika... she is the only one among us with a genuine need for it,’ he considered, his footsteps echoing on the stone floor of the castle entrance.
’Regardless, let us expedite this occupation... Though... what in the blazes am I to occupy myself with for these interminable two hours?’
His gaze drifted across the dimly lit, ominously silent hall, and he sighed softly. The sole object that captured his attention was the imposing golden throne situated at the far end of the hall... flanked by two grand staircases leading to the upper levels.
"This is a remarkably... austere throne room," he observed aloud, making his way towards the regal seat and settling into its surprisingly comfortable embrace.
"Though... this isn’t entirely unpleasant."
He leaned back, his thoughts momentarily drifting.
["King Christopher, an individual is rapidly approaching your castle."]
The tutorial’s voice resonated through the vast hall, causing Christopher to raise a questioning eyebrow.
With a casual wave of his hand, the massive double doors creaked open, his gaze fixed on the approaching figure in the courtyard – a lone woman with long, flowing blonde hair that danced in the wind. The academy’s familiar school uniform clung to her form, lending her an unexpectedly endearing appearance.
"Well now, what manner of visitor have we here?" he murmured, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.

[Training Ground.]
Monica’s brow furrowed in intrigued confusion as she observed the lone female figure striding towards the ice-encrusted castle on the monitor.
"Oh! This could potentially escalate into a truly remarkable confrontation!"
A fresh wave of excited chatter erupted among the assembled students:
"Christopher versus this enigmatic beauty! This promises to be an enthralling spectacle!"
"Indeed!! I eagerly anticipate the unfolding of this encounter!!"
The students surged forward, their collective attention riveted to the screen, eager to witness the impending interaction.
Everyone watched as the blonde figure ascended the icy steps leading to the castle entrance, her movements graceful despite the treacherous terrain.
’Why has Christopher not yet reacted to her approach?’ Monica pondered, a subtle unease creeping into her thoughts.
They watched as the girl entered the dimly lit hall and halted approximately five meters from the imposing golden throne. Then, to the utter astonishment of everyone present... she gracefully dropped to one knee, her head bowed in a gesture of profound deference.
".....?!!!!!!!"
".....!!!!!!!"
The entire training ground fell into an absolute, stunned silence.
BOOM!
A sudden flash of brilliant light erupted on the monitor screen, and the image abruptly dissolved into a featureless white void.
"This...?"
Monica stared at the blank screen in utter bewilderment, while the surrounding students remained speechless, their expressions mirroring her own shock.
’Impossible... This viewing screen is reinforced with potent life force energy; nothing within this simulation should possess the capacity to damage it,’ Monica thought, instinctively reaching out to touch the smooth surface. She recoiled in surprise.
"The screen remains intact... Then why can we no longer perceive anything?" she muttered to herself, her confusion deepening.
’I will need to consult with my father immediately.’ With that thought, she swiftly retrieved her phone and initiated a call.

[Training Map.]
Christopher stared intently at the frozen form of the tutorial, now encased in a layer of shimmering ice, before turning his gaze back to the kneeling figure of Phoenix.
"How long have you been present within Cordelia? And when did you manage to arrive?" he inquired, a slight frown creasing his brow.
"Master... There was a considerable bounty placed upon your head. I came to ascertain the situation."
"Oh...? Did you successfully claim it? Or were your intentions more... assassination-oriented?" he asked, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"What?! I would never even contemplate such a treacherous act!" Phoenix looked up at him, her expression a mixture of shock and horror, and quickly elaborated, "It is true that I initially accepted the commission, but Xing implored me to desist. When I pressed for an explanation, she... she revealed the truth."
"That girl... I specifically requested that she refrain from divulging this information to you all."
"It was not entirely her fault, Master!! I... I compelled her to reveal it!" Phoenix interjected hastily.
"Very well..." Christopher relaxed slightly against the back of the throne. "Tell me then! What is your purpose within the academy grounds?" His gaze sharpened, losing its earlier levity.
"I... I bear crucial news for the leader!" Phoenix looked up at him, her voice urgent. "The Golden Organization has acquired a new leader, an individual whose power transcends even the Supreme Level!! Perhaps even a Transcendent or higher being!" she declared.
This revelation caught both Christopher and Tiamat completely off guard.
"Are you absolutely certain of this information?" he asked, his brow furrowed in concern.
"Yes, Master!! First King is scheduled to arrive in Cordelia tomorrow morning. I am tasked with his retrieval... Master, First King possesses further intelligence regarding this enigmatic figure. He has even encountered this ’Boss’ and engaged them in direct combat."
"Them?" Christopher pressed, his frown deepening.
"Yes..." Phoenix paused for a brief moment, gathering her thoughts before continuing, "Yes... The new leader of the Golden Organization possesses the horrifying ability to raise the dead. Furthermore, they have somehow acquired the corpse of Shadow... Their motivations remain shrouded in mystery."
Christopher rose abruptly from the throne, his gaze fixed intently on Phoenix.
"It appears the situation is far more complex than I initially surmised... Dracula and I forged an accord. I knew he was orchestrating something, but I had no inkling that it involved corpses! These vile bastards!"
He turned his attention back to Phoenix.
"The time has come to summon the Beast Kings. We must immediately move to thwart whatever nefarious scheme this new leader is concocting... We cannot allow them to succeed."
"But Master, we have no concrete understanding of their ultimate objective," Phoenix pointed out, a hint of confusion in her voice.
"That is indeed true... Instruct Xing to access all available security feeds. We must locate their operational base; only then will the true nature of their machinations be revealed." He issued the command.
’Leon and Lincoln were taken by Dracula... What twisted purpose could he possibly have in mind?’
Christopher’s fists clenched tightly at his sides, his mind racing with grim possibilities.
