The Keys

Like many other locations, the gray square was one of the places with a key. It also had no level restrictions.

Thus, around twenty princes and princesses reached the location.

Some of them also had 'protectors' who were level 8 and even level 9.

But usually, unless it's life-threatening or extremely important, these protectors wouldn't intervene in a fight between level 7s.

It wasn't just shameful, but it was also frowned upon.

But this was related to the key! It was too important!

So, they all decided to let only the level 7s fight. If level 8 princes came, they'd have to face their protectors.

The battle began quickly.

The twenty princes and princesses gave it their all and fought hard.

After ten minutes, only five remained and they were all peak level 7s.

Then he appeared.

His footsteps were slow and dull like he was uninterested in even visiting this place.
