Leo took a cautious stance as the guards approached him, while Gemini looked unhappy with the careless attitude of the guards.
"Are you the one who summoned the Lion Beast earlier?"
One of the guards asked in a stern voice and seemed arrogant, while the other watched with great caution.
"Yes, I am the master."
The guards immediately put up a prepared position while the man who asked earlier held them with his hands.
"Look, we'd like to ask you a thing or two, but it looks like we should take you to our base, I hope you'll work with us."
Leo looked at them with a glance before finally looking at Gemini, the girl continued to show her dislike blatantly.
"I understand."
That way, Leo and Gemini follow the guards while the guards remain alert and ready to attack them at any time.
"Hey, aren't you being too rash?"
Gemini whispered while elbowing Leo's arm.
"As you can see, we can't run."
"Haa. seen from wherever it is clear this is a trap, we will certainly be troubled if there are 2 people who like the big man come to ambush us."
Gemini complained about her worries, because she knew other than the big man who had previously asked them, the other guards they could still handle easily.
"No need to worry, if they wanted to hurt us, they would have done it from the beginning without such a stale ado."
"Haa. I really don't understand your way of thinking." The girl let out a heavy sigh, her cheerful demeanor had already disappeared from ever since the guards had come and now she looked a little different than usual.
"Well, we're almost there, I hope you're not doing anything stupid here."
After listening to the warning, Leo and Gemini arrived before a large gate in the middle of the city, Gemini immediately changed his expression and reminded Leo aloud.
"Yep! we have to go, there's no way we can survive if the people in there want us dead."
The girl tried to pull Leo and go with him, but Leo did not flinch at all, instead his face looked a little surprised.
"Hey, did you hear what I said!? Teacher even if it's going to be hard to offend the madmen in there, let's go right now."
Feeling the Gemini pull getting stronger, Leo finally regained his senses and tried to get inside.
"You! Are you crazy?? If it's a trap then we won't be able to escape, you hear me!?"
The surrounding guards seemed to understand Gemini's attitude, they would also react that way if suddenly told to enter this residence, he said, because the people in it are notoriously insane and often kill indiscriminately.
Moreover, the strength of the occupants of this residence was also not playful, no one dared to go against them except for the crazy people who were inside the legends.
"It's okay."
After calming the girl down, Leo immediately pulled her in, the girl could not resist and ended up being dragged away by Leo.
'I will remember this, Leo!!!' with a pale face the girl ended up walking side by side with Leo.
Meanwhile, Leo looked around him with a complicated feeling, a strange feeling of longing and warmth felt in his chest.
It felt as if he had returned home.
"If you're tired, come to granny, grandma will continue to spoil you, just like your father and mother."
Foreign memories swirled in Leo's head, he felt like he had heard those words somewhere.
as he stepped into the residence, his memories continued to spin.
"If one day you take a long trip and you long to go home, then go home, until then, grandma will definitely welcome you."
"And grandma will say..."
"" Welcome back, my grandson.""
The voice of the old granny on Leo's head was clearly heard in his ears, in front of him, a wanded granny looked at him with a face full of tears.
"You said you're from the interior, what's the interior!? Why didn't you say you were one of the descendants of the Great Family of this Continent?!"
Gemini shouted in shock at Leo, while the young man was still silent in the grandmother's arms.
***
While Leo was having a nostalgic meeting, the Continent of the holy stars again showed great turmoil.
In an unknown forest, a group of unknown people are screaming for mercy.
They were the remaining people from the alliance that had previously started the war. Among them, there were 3 people wearing white clothes and long beards.
The 3 men were busy torturing and conducting strange experiments on the women and children of the group.
"Currently, these people are useless. They can't even survive the physical changes and lose their minds."
One of the 3 people complained.
"You're right, they can't even maintain their wits for an hour, I don't know if they're any more use for now."
"Heh, then wouldn't we just change everything into that disgusting animal and let them slaughter all their relatives on this continent?"
The three discussed with a terrifying smile on their faces. All around them, screams and cries were heard from the people they tortured.
"Good idea, I like your idea, then let's do it!"
The three laughed before then raising the heads of the surrounding people and turning them into a ferocious beast known as Ashura.

.
The Hall of Elders, on the same day.
Aries sits surrounded by a pile of paper with blackened eyes like a panda.
The papers were nothing but reports of strange things happening around the Euthorea Kingdom and its corners.
Many of the major attacks caused by Ashura took place and they lacked personnel to stop the attacks.
In the midst of the young man's busy life, Virgo comes to bring him food and drink.
"Aren't you going to take a break? You can die young if you keep pushing yourself like this, nor do I want to be a young widow when I just had a wedding a few weeks ago."
Aries looked at the girl with a smile, his exhausted and pale face was completely different from what he had once seen.
He put away the piles of papers around him and let Virgo get close.
"Well, I also have no intention of dying young and leaving my sister and wife alone in this world, even if it really did happen, I'll figure out how to return to the world and come back to you."
Both of them laughed lightly while drinking the drink brought earlier. Not many people know that Virgo and Aries are married. This is because, both of them just take it simple and even barely have guests on the show.
"Well, you said something terrible, forget it, how's Ariel doing? It's been a while since Leo's departure, I wonder if he's been feeling better..."
"Ah, that girl, somehow the story goes, she suddenly awakened her Aura and led the Hall to fight against Ashura, I was also surprised to see the change. But, as we thought, he still hasn't accepted Leo's departure."
Both bow their heads.
They know it's not easy to let go of the bond, especially after they've ventured together and shared life and death experiences together.
"He still keeps saying that Leo is alive and will be back, but as we thought, that's impossible."
Aries stared back at the pile of paper around his desk.
"Well, for now let's focus on the problem at hand, Ariel will also definitely accept the young man's departure later."
Aries puts down his food and goes back to wrestling with his pen and paper.
