Ken was on the verge of entering the gate, but one of the strongest soldiers came out there.

  Vesper was one of the most trusted and reliable persons of both the knight and the king. Whenever someone tries to invade the prison, they would get obliterated by Vesper.

  After Tiberon and Anders, he was the strongest person in there.

  Ken decided to fight him. Vesper was frustrated seeing the army losing. He ran towards Ken.

  “How dare you defeat our men? Ahhhh!!!” he shouted, trying to hit Ken with his right hand.

  BLOCK!!

  “I want to save my friend, so I had no choice,” Ken replied, blocking.

  “Friend? You can join him in his prison along with your men,” he muttered.

  KICK!!

  He kicked Ken while speaking. Ken was sent a distance apart, but he refused to let this go and ran towards Vesper in anger.

  Ignis Fist!!

  BLOCK!!

  “This is not a playground, I have no time for you,” he muttered, raising his right arm again.

  Punch!!!!

  Ken tried blocking, but it was no use as this time, he was sent flying even more distance. Everyone saw this hearing the sound of the punch. The soldiers there regained confidence and hope seeing their commander.

  Both Galen and Andrew were shocked to see their Captain getting thrown. Veris was also shocked as he didn’t expect Vesper to be this strong.

  Vesper always wanted to participate in the war, knowing that Aurelios is one of the 2 regions where war has never happened since their war with Dwarisia, 200 years ago.

  Both regions went on to protect their peace and the lives of people by not involving themselves in the war.

  Vesper moved to Brumalden during his childhood as he wanted to become stronger and fight in the war.

  He got his chance when they fought Vaelheim, 25 years ago. Vesper was strong back then and was crushing enemies, but he lost in a battle against Luka, one of the greatest warriors in Vaelheim history and survived barely.

  Many people living there, along with some soldiers, escaped from there to Aurelios with the help of a mysterious ship that came out of nowhere. One of them is Vesper, who understood everything about war and realised Aurelios was the right place to settle.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  Anders came across him a year later, and eventually they became friends. Seeing the strength of Vesper, he requested the knight to recruit him.

  Later, they formed the unbreakable duo and served as the commanders for the knight, Emil. Then, due to an increase in the invasion of the prison, both were given the role to protect the place.

  Andrew began running towards Vesper as he was furious, but he was late as Kael had already entered the fight.

  Kick!!

  “You might be strong, but we have no time to waste with you,” Kael muttered, kicking Vesper from the back.

  Vesper didn’t fall to the ground; he turned back and said,

  “You coward, hitting from the back,” to Kael.

  Then a battle started between two swordsmen, as both of them took out their swords to fight.

  Ken stood up even though his body hurt; he refused to give up. The soldier started surrounding him.

  Kick!!

  Andrew helped Ken as he fought the soldiers.

  Smash!!

  Galen took down the remaining ones surrounding Ken.

  “Ken, go inside quickly; this is the right time; we will come once we finish these guys,” Andrew told Ken.

  Ken realised that it was the right time to enter the prison, and began running towards it. Veris took down the soldiers that came towards him and ran towards the gate.

  “These guys are strong, we should also fight Veris, and we don’t know who is protecting from inside, this might be tougher than we thought it to be,” Andrew’s mind while fighting.

  “I need to help Ken quickly,” Andrew thought.

  “Galen, I leave these guys to you. I will go and help Ken,” Andrew told him and began running towards the gate.

  “Fine, I will come soon,” Galen replied.

  Meanwhile,

  Harkey reached the location that had been given to him by Ken at 11:03 pm. He parked the car in that place.

  “Thank god, I came here without any intervention. I need to wait here for some time now,” he muttered.

  There was no one around that area, as the only light was from the car and his phone.

  “Why am I so weak? I can’t even help them, I am only good at this easy job, I need to be strong,” he said, frustrated with himself.

  He listened to the music from inside the car for another 30 minutes.

  Back to the battle,

  After fighting for some time,

  Vesper defeated Kael. He couldn’t prevent some from entering the prison. He was shocked to see the gate being broken.

  Ken and Andrew tried to break into the prison, but they couldn’t sneak in. The gate was the only way to get in. It was huge that they knew it was almost impossible for them to break it.

  Veris came there, took out his sword and with just a cut, the gate was cut. Everyone around there stood still as they couldn’t even find a way to explain it.

  Neither Ken nor Andrew moved for a second as they couldn’t believe what they had seen.

  Veris entered as soon as he cut it. Ken and Andrew also entered after a few seconds.

  The prison has 3 levels. Level 1 is the ONE where the least dangerous prisoners are kept, even though they are strong. Over 100 people were kept in here.

  Level 2 is where people who have committed big crimes are kept. Rheos and others were kept in there.

  Level 3 consists of only 2 people.

  Aurelios is the safest region in the world where the crime rate is very less compared to the other 4 regions.

  The soldiers present inside the prison began attacking the ones who entered it. Veris waste no time as he kills anyone who comes in his way.

  He marched towards level 2. Anders was waiting for him to reach there.

  Tiberon approached before both Ken and Andrew.

  “You guys are strong. Welcome to the prison,” he welcomed both of them by blocking their route.

  “Ken, I will deal with him. Go search Medrick,” Andrew muttered.

  Ken didn’t think for a second and began running towards his left. Tiberon was shocked by the actions of these 2.

  Tiberon didn’t chase Ken. He began fighting with Andrew instead.

  Vesper entered the prison as he rushed towards Level 1.

  “You guys are done for,” he muttered, seeing Andrew fight with Tiberon.

  “Where are the other two?” he asked.

  “They went ahead, Anders will take care of one, go and search for the other, Vesper,” Tiberon told him while fighting.

  “To do that, you have to defeat me first,” A voice came from the entrance.

  It was Galen who entered the prison.
