CHAPTER 37 RETURN TO THE REALM

When they teleported inside the Realm of the Thousand Worlds, they were shocked by the numerous soldiers coming and going.

They were confused as to what to do.

Elcio bows to Cleo.

"Young master, you and your friend should wait here, I will go and find our people and ask about the current situation of the stronghold."

Cleo nods his head.

"See as you do, I will wait here with Leon, you must hurry, I can feel the tension in the air is not normal."

Just as Elcio left, a valiant female wearing rather unique soldier clothing glared at the two.

Leon was unfazed, it did not have any emotion, but Cleo was different.

Sensing the gaze that seemed to be boring deep into his soul, he could only smile bitterly and ask the girl. "May I help you, ma'am?"

"I hate cowards like you!" She roars with indignation.

He was stunned, and he scratches his head in confusion.

"What did I do to deserve such an insult?" He is helpless against such a person, he can sense her aura and feel the righteousness within them.

It reminds him of his father and grandfather, both of whom tried to do their best for their homeland and for the people that depend on them.

Unfortunately, their kindness and courage were not rewarded and, in fact, were exploited by corrupt powers that saw fit to use them in order to benefit only themselves.

This is why Cleo swears that other than those that he cares about, he will not care about other people.

It might be selfish, but in order to survive, he has developed this kind of habit.

"You are one of the deserters, aren't you!?" She glares at him with passion, it seems that his existence seems to be the thing that she loathes the most.

"Huh? I had just come here? I came from the academy, I do not know what you are talking about."

He is startled, it seems that the girl had misunderstood something.

The girl was startled, she frowned, as if she were doubting him.

Suddenly, Elcio returns together with the people from the Oriend Family.

His expression is not good, and the news he is bringing is definitely not good with such an expression.

Elcio quickly shared with him the information that he had obtained.

"Young master, it is bad! The beast wave has destroyed the other strongholds nearby, the location that the portals are connected to has been flooded by the Berserk genetic creatures, there are only five portals connected to our world, three of them have already been subjugated by the genetic creatures!"

He turns pale.

Such news was the worst.

It means that three of the five major countries located in their homeworld are now facing direct invasion from the mad genetic creatures.

If they lose all five portals, they are going to be in deep sh*t.

They have people from the second realm in the true world, but this does not mean that they are safe, the second realm is also in chaos.

If the Sanctuaries are destroyed, the second realm genetic warriors are going to suffer.

Also, if the portal becomes stable forever, the places that they exist on will become domains, they will become similar to Nightmare Valley and the other forbidden grounds in the academy.

"F*ck! We have no time to lose! We must defend this stronghold at all costs!" He roars as his killing intent explodes.

The image of the dragon and tiger appears above him, roaring to the sky, releasing their majestic aura in the surroundings.

"Young master, there is some good news, the news regarding the beast wave has now spread to the True World, it will not be long for the academy to send reinforcement, the students are definitely going to return and join the defence, it is known that the academy will kick out anyone that does not participate in such a battle." One of the people that came with Elcio says this.

He heaves a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but he knows that they need to buy as much time as they can in order for the reinforcement to arrive.

The teachers are unable to participate in the battle in the first realm, but they can help defend the other side.

"Young master, please let us escort you to our campground," Says one of the subordinates of the Oriend Family.

He agrees, but before they can leave, the female soldier grabs him.

She is blushing, it seems that she had truly misunderstood him.

She wants to apologise for her rude behaviour earlier. "I am sorry!"

She immediately ran away after shouting this, she was truly embarrassed about her attitude.

Seeing her fleeing figure, he could not help but laugh out loud.

"Hmm, do you know the young miss of the Flarren Family, young master?" Asks Elcio.

Such a question indicates that he knows the identity of the female soldier, actually, everyone in the stronghold recognises her as the Flarren Family is at the same level as this Oriend Family.

The greatest difference between the two is that the former is a military power family, working side by side with the governing power of one of the five major countries.

"Yes, we all know her, in fact, she is at the same level as the eldest young Miss, both of them consider each other rivals." Elcio explains.

"Oh, if this is the case, shouldn't she know my identity already? After all, she considers Big Sis her rival?" He asks with obvious confusion in his face.

Elcio turns red.

He wants to say the reason but is afraid that he will anger his young master.

Seeing him frown, he can only bite the bullet and say it. "For her, people like the young master are considered trash, it is far beneath her to know you, in fact, she feels that those types of people are clearly just a waste of space."

Upon hearing this, he starts laughing.

It seems that she is extremely proud of herself.

Realising this, he knows that making her apologise to him is considered an achievement.

No wonder Elcio and the people nearby were quite surprised when they heard her apologise.

When they arrived at the campground, Cleo was immediately greeted by a grand scene, multiple genetic warriors wearing or holding their soul blessings were talking with each other.

The pressure he was feeling from them was immense.

"Oh, look who has arrived!" Suddenly, an obnoxious voice appears.

It was a guy wearing gaudy-looking armour.

Cleo raises his eyebrow.

His body seems to be familiar with this person, which only means that this is a person that he knows.

"Young master, he is your third cousin." Just as Elcio finishes his sentence, the gaudy guy actually attacks him.

[Tiger Pounce]

Roar! A tiger's roar can be heard.

Cleo stops the gaudy guy's attack, but he is forced to take a couple of steps back, startling him.

He cannot believe that he was overpowered in terms of brute strength.

What he does not know is that the gaudy guy was more surprised than him, even though that attack was just a casual blow, not just anyone can block it.

His expression becomes a bit more serious, and just as he is about to attack once again, a cold harrumph interrupts the fight.

It was a girl with a fiery figure, her clothes were barely keeping her chest hidden.

Cleo once again sensed the familiarity with her, and he instantly turned to Elcio.

Shocked by the earlier attack, Elcio stands there with a pale face, but he does not take a step backward.

Sensing his gaze, he quickly snaps back.

"She is your first cousin, unlike many of your relatives, she is close with you as she considers your sister her closest friend," he hurriedly explains.

Upon hearing him, the girl with the fiery figure frowns.

She can't help but ask. "Have you already forgotten about your big sister? We might not have seen each other for some time, but this should not be a reason for you to just forget your lovely big sister."

Even though she is chiding him, her tone carries a hint of teasing, she reminds him of Lilith, the only difference is that the latter carries a seductive vibe while the girl with the fiery figure only carries a playful vibe.

"I apologise, third young miss, young master has encountered a unique accident that caused him to lose most of his memories." Elcio steps up and tells his current predicament.

She turns to him with eyes filled with pity, and in a shocking manner, she hugs him as she puts his head into her bountiful and soft melons.

Her sudden action causes Cleo to freeze, but sensing her worry, he decided to let her hold him like this.

The gaudy guy watches this with hate-filled eyes, he seems to want to tear him off from the girl with a fiery figure and replace him.

"Young master, let me introduce you." Before Elcio can finish his sentence, the girl with a fiery figure raises her hand and shakes her head.

She stops hugging Cleo and smiles as she introduces herself to him. "Don't you dare forget about me again! Remember my name! Engrave it in your heart! I am your lovely and sexy big sister, Flare!"

Listening to her introduction, he laughs out loud.

It seems that she is also quite proud of her beauty, just like Lilith.

"I will definitely not forget your name with such a great introduction."

Smiling, he tries to shake her hand in order to show his goodwill, but Flare hugs him once again, submerging his head into her melons.

"Wow! You have gotten much taller and more muscular, it seems that my little brother has been working out, is there any special girl you want to impress?" Her tone definitely carries a teasing vibe.

Elcio wants to brag about his young master's achievement but is afraid that he will be overstepping his boundary, so he can only lower his head while fidgeting.

"Third young miss, the Advanced Grade Army Ants are now approaching the base at tremendous speed, there are multiple variants amongst them, there are also Advanced Grade Flying Army Ants in the sky, and they are being led by three Supernatural Grade Army Ant Generals."

Her teasing face turns serious in an instant, she is no longer the playful girl that she exhibited before, she exudes the aura of an experienced leader, similar to Margaret.

Meanwhile, Cleo's focus is on the information about the Army Ants attacking, he knows that he can fight against advanced-grade beings as long as their strength is only at the average level.

Ants are powerful creatures, but they are not that threatening individually.

With the soldiers and the people in front of him, he is confident that he can obtain advanced genes if he joins the battle.

Also, Leon and Glutton will definitely surpass their current selves if they join the battle.

"Big sis Flare." Awkwardly calling her, he steels himself to shamelessly ask her to join the battle.

He knows that she will worry about him throughout the entire battle, but if he shows her how strong he truly is, he can definitely put her at ease.

"Let me guess, you wish to participate in the battle?" Even without him asking, she instantly knows what he wants to ask.

He nods his head with a determined expression, he just cannot pass up such an opportunity to grow stronger.

"Okay, but you need to fight alongside my elite guards."

She puts up a strong front, and no matter how much Cleo bugs her to let him hunt all by himself, she ignores him.

He can only sigh in disappointment, it seems that he can only fight in a controlled environment, unlike what he wanted.

"Hmph! Why bother participating!? You are only going to be a burden anyway!" The gaudy guy sneers, but he still follows Flare.

"Who was that guy anyway? Why does he hate me?"

He is getting frustrated with the personality of that person, if not for the fact that he recognises his strength, he would have challenged him by now.
