Both Killer Wolf and Tyler watched him in fear.

Although they had encountered the same thing a few days before, they were not as frightened when they

themselves were experiencing it. Only when they were standing on the sidelines did they truly see the terror of the

divine punishment.

They were worried that Alfred would not be able to take it.

In the meantime, ten kilometers away from them, a team was hunting in the woods.

The team was none other than the team Northern King led.

He was usually a busy man, and it was rare for him to have the time to head out for a hunting session like that day.

Hence, he was in a particularly good mood.

However, the clear blue sky suddenly turned into a gloomy one as thunder echoed and lightning struck. Strong

gusts of wind howled, and large droplets of rain pelted them mercilessly.

Northern King's subordinates hastily uttered, “Quick, set up a tent!”

The group immediately started pitching tents to shield Northern King from the rain.

However, Northern King was staring at the center of the storm in silent contemplation.

A moment later, his subordinate's voice pulled him away from his train of thought. “Northern Master, please move

inside the tent to hide from the rain. It looks like it won't be stopping for a while.”

Yet, Northern King shook his head and commented, “Something seems off about this rain.”

“What?”

A few of the team members furrowed their brows in response.

What's off about it? Rain is a common occurrence in these woods. Still, I'm sure there's a reason behind Northern

King's words.

Thus, one of his subordinates tentatively asked, “Northern Master, what's wrong with this rain?”

“I can sense the power from the thunder and the lightning. This is clearly divine punishment!”

Divine punishment? What's that?

A look of confusion crossed his subordinates' faces.

Northern King continued, “I've only seen divine punishment twice—when the Camp Masters of Camp South and

Camp North advanced in their classes.”

“Could it be that someone else's about to reach Camp Master class? Who could it be?”

The “Camp Master” they were talking about corresponded to “Peak Class” that Killer Wolf was talking about.

Upon hearing Northern King's words, his subordinates were all shocked to the core.

They could not believe that someone else was about to become a Camp Master. If that were the case, a third Camp

might be established on Theos Island.

Right then, a thought popped into Northern King's mind.

First come, first served. If I'm not mistaken, I should be the first to find out that someone's about to advance into a

Camp Master. I'll benefit from currying favor with the new Camp Master if I act fast. Yes, that's what I'll do.

After making up his mind, Northern King said to his subordinates, “I'm going to meet the new Camp Master now. All

of you stay here.”

His subordinates quickly uttered, “Northern Master, up ahead is the primeval forest where the beasts rule. If you

head there alone, you'll be in danger. Let us go with you. In that case, if anything happens, we'll be able to help you

out.”

Alas, Northern King rejected their offer. “It's fine. I'll go there myself.”

Still, his subordinates insisted, “Northern Master, you're representing the entire Northern Faction now. If anything

happens to you, the Northern Faction will face annihilation too. Please think this over and let us go with you.”

At that, Northern King snapped, “What's the matter? Are you doubting my capabilities now?”

The wrath of Northern King frightened the living daylights out of his subordinates. They anxiously answered, “You're

mistaken, Northern Master. We did not mean that!”

“In that case, stay here and don't follow me.”

With that, Northern King leaped into the air and disappeared from their lines of sight.

There was a reason for Northern King to not let his subordinates follow him.

Up ahead was Theos Island's central district, which no one was allowed in—not even Legatus.

Therefore, he was actually sneaking into the district. If he brought too many people with him, it would be too

obvious, and they would soon be punished by Camp North's Camp Master.

Secondly, he would have to behave humbly upon meeting the new Camp Master, and he didn't want his

subordinates to see that.

Allowing his subordinates to see his subservient manner would affect his prestige, which would in turn affect his

ability to lead in the future.

Shortly after departing, Northern King reached the center of the storm by tracking the lightning.

Coincidentally, just as Northern King arrived, Alfred was done with his advancement.
