"I won," Gravis said evenly as he looked at Cynthia.

Cynthia was taken aback as she heard Gravis' words. What did he mean by he won? She was about to kill him, and he said that he won? Did he expect that he would be able to fight her? Gravis might have an impressive Battle-Strength, but Cynthia was sure that he wouldn't be able to fight over a full Realm above himself.

Cynthia shook her head to regain her bearings. It didn't matter what Gravis said. She just had to kill him, and everything will return to normal.

BANG!

The ground below Cynthia exploded as she burst forward with ridiculous speed. The Red King's abode was made out of incredibly powerful ore, and not even Gravis would be able to damage it. Yet, Cynthia just randomly destroyed it by accelerating.

Instead of getting ready for battle, Gravis just continued sitting there. If he were to fight her, he wouldn't be able to survive. Her speed was just way too fast for him. He wouldn't even be able to react to any of her attacks.

BOOOOOOM

But it wasn't Gravis fighting her.

Cynthia got flung back as a powerful fireball exploded before her, and her skin received a tremendous amount of cuts and burns. If that fireball had hit her directly, she wouldn't be alive anymore.

Cynthia's eyes widened in shock, terror, and fear as she realized who had attacked. There was only one beast inside the Red Kingdom that outclassed her to such a degree.

A small, red hawk landed between Gravis and Cynthia as it looked at Cynthia with unending fury. One of his commanders had betrayed him!

"M-My King," Cynthia quivered in terror. Why was the Red King here? Didn't he say that he would be gone for a couple of days?

"Explain yourself, commander," the Red King said with an icy voice that didn't allow for any disobedience.

Please, you must see the truth! I'm only doing
