《Rise of The Tyrant》14. Enemies From All Sides
Advertisement
Their voices were quite loud, causing the people around to be stunned with shock.
Those who saw Ciel put on a strange expression, probably wondered if he was a prince from a certain kingdom.
"He's that young man who can teleport, I saw him before." Someone still managed to recognize Ciel quickly.
"Could he be a Prince? But even a Prince is not called His Majesty." The others wondered.
"Don't be stupid, look at them, even if the royal troops pretend to be ordinary people, they will not look as bad as they are.... They're just a bunch of gangsters who think they're a kingdom."
"By the way, isn't the Dragon Skull Gang looking for him? They are said to be rewarding anyone who tells them his location."
The last words made several people leave with hasty steps.
On the other hand, the Wind Eagle Guild members told Ciel the reason why the Dragon Skull Gang was looking for him.
After knowing that, Ciel asked Dina, "do you know that gang boss? How strong is he?"
“Your Majesty, he is at Level 19… However, since he lost one arm, his strength has dropped quite drastically, he may only be on par with Level 18. He also has several Level 16 subordinates.”
"I see..." Ciel nodded. He then asked about the Diamond Golem.
One of the people explained.
"Your Majesty, it's a Level 13 Diamond Golem, that's what people estimate and it has its own Dungeon. Even though the Dungeon is open, there are many Golems guarding it, so no one can enter easily."
"Oh, Level 13 huh..." Ciel was still interested even though it was basically two levels below his current level.
Diamond Core is different from other Cores, it will increase three levels at once for Evolvers of the same level. And if an Evolver that was one level higher than that Diamond Core swallowed it, that Evolver would still get a two level boost.

Evolvers who are two levels higher on the other hand will get a one level increase.
Ciel speculated that what he would get from the Diamond Core was also three times that of an ordinary person. If that was true, he would still gain a three-level increase if he swallowed a Level 13 Diamond Core.
“Your Majesty, with your teleportation ability, entering the Dungeon won't be difficult,” said Dina.
"Yeah, but we seem to need to gather other Evolvers to help out."
When he said that, Ciel suddenly thought of a plan. It's a plan that makes him smile.
"Before that..."
His gaze then fell on the people who seemed to want to report his whereabouts to the Dragon Skull Gang.
He touched Dina's shoulder and said, "slaughter them!"
Right after that, Dina suddenly appeared in their midst.
She stared at Ciel for a moment before doing as he was told.
Anguished screams resounded from their mouths, leaving people shocked and horrified at the same time.
Ciel certainly wasn't afraid of his whereabouts being reported, but there was no mercy for those who tried to get involved in harming him.
Quite far from Ciel, stood three youths with blond hair and blue eyes.
They looked at each other, one of them with a spear in hand, named Benson said "this is Ciel Arnauld, unexpectedly we meet him in this desert."
"Yeah, I thought he was dead, but now he's got an amazing ability," added the man with the bow. His name is Darwin.
"He was very ordinary one year ago, I'm sure we can still get something if we catch him," said the last man. He stood in the middle, clearly the leader among them. Like Dina, he also carries two swords.
"You're right Eric, it's just, it might be difficult to catch him with his teleportation ability." Darwin sighed.

"Indeed, but I can't believe he has no weaknesses at all," replied Benson.
One thing they didn't know was that Ciel had already seen them.
Before appearing where he was standing now, he appeared behind them.
For Ciel who considered his enemies as targets he should kill, he could recognize them even if he only looked at their backs from afar.
He even saw Alex and his butler who were currently quite far behind them.
The first one was a bit sullen, he said, "why do these English people come here, I hope they don't bother me."
“Young Master, they also brought along quite a strong bodyguard, they are currently hiding in the dark,” said Gabe.
"Is there anyone stronger than you?" Alex asked.
"No, but there are three Level 19s...!!!"
After Dina finished carrying out the massacre, Ciel immediately went to where the Dungeon was.
Before carrying out his plan, he wanted to first see what the Diamond Golem's Dungeon was like.
