Troy was just about to throw his body forward to protect his hundred men, but he stopped when Ars already protected them from Temperance's destructive attack. 

With just one layer of red wall and Silver Sky Staff, Ars shielded Temperance's attack. 

It was easy because he brought the Silver Sky Staff with him. If not, he would just teleported and left Troy and the 100 spartan to receive the attack. 

After the explosive effect stopped, Ars cleared the dust on the scene by launching the red wall forward. 

The red wall opened up the area that was covered in ash. The giant black hole lead to the Lower Floor could be seen once again. 

Surprisingly, the previous explosive attack also cleared the sand from the ground around Abyss Pit. The surface of Sector 5 was actually not 100% sand.

Now that they have found the Pit on the Lower Floor. They can continue on moving forward. But before that, they need to finish their problem first. 

"Why, did you point your sword at me?"

Troy already knew how strong Ars was, and how Ars faced his opponent.

Because it was their first time facing each other as fighting opponent, Troy did not know if he could win if they actually in a fight. 

"What the fck are you doing here?"

That's right, Ars was still sleeping yesterday. Even he had defeated one Virtue, he did not know about the situation. 

"I was trapped here."

"So you got fooled?"

Troy did not know what state both of them are know. One thing is for sure, Ars really pissed at him. 

"King!"

The Spartan was about to stand behind Troy. 

"Stop right there!"

But Troy did not want them to get involved in a between Sin's fight. Even though he did not know if Ars would give mercy to Troy's warrior. 

"I know I was fooled, but I only bring about 25% of Eria's power. Frida is in charge of the order until I get back. Shiva were enough to replace my position as front liner."

"That Indian guy? I thought you bring him with you."

"What? No? He remained in Eria to guard –"

"No he is not!"

Cinderella runs because Ars chased him. He said Cinderella destroys his castle and killed his future child. 

If Shiva were there, he would not let that happened. 

He may not be strong enough to win over Cinderella, but he must be strong enough to hold Cinderella down until Troy returns.

But, the fact that Cinderella destroys Ars' castle and killed Ars future child, that means Ars' wives were the one fighting to hold Cinderella down. 

"B-but, Lady Jeanne – "

"She is dead."

Troy's body instantly went limp. Of all the bad news Ars tells, that was the only one Troy did not want to believe. 

"That, can't be true."

The 100 Spartan could not hear what their king and the Sin of Green were talking about. But when they witness the sorrowful expression of the king, they knew something is not right. 

"If you don't believe me, you can see it yourself. Oh wait, let's go to the city first."

Suddenly, there is a blink of red light on the surrounding ground. In the next instant, they felt a sudden tremble and they move to other place. 

A ruin. It seemed that previously it was a city, because the trace of ashes and dust could be seen flying to the sky. 

"Where is this?" asked Troy, confused. 

"Eria, your city."

Troy doesn't want to believe of what Ars' just said. But when he turned around, he could see half of the rest of Eria that still there. 

Half of Eria destroyed. Indeed, it was just an empty area; all of them were empty building. But still, it was a place built by Eria's people to future residents. 

"Did Cinderella d - ?"

"I did it."

It was Ars who destroyed Eria. 

"It got invaded by black armored army. Their bodies decompose into infectious pollution. So I burned them to the ground along with the city."

In other words, it was necessary and Ars did the right move for the guy who just woke up from his sleep.

Infectious pollution is dangerous for the living. So, burned them with fire Arts is the right thing to do and Troy cannot complain about the destroyed city. 

"Now that I get you to Eria. You might want to check on your people for the last time as king. Because I will take over your position after this."

Ars walks away to the city. But before he leave –

"Hey, don't feel too guilty. Let's look at all of this on the bright side. If you're not get trapped in that sector, I might not be able to catch that ni**a and kill him. And we might not have a chance to meet that strange old man on black cloak."

In Ars' perspective, the Soul Saint is a man, and old person.

"Plus, I probably won't be woken up by the screams of my right hand, which now is nowhere to be found. Although, to achieve that we have to sacrifice all this."

After giving compliment and complain, Ars disappeared, teleported to somewhere, might be to his castle, leaving Troy and the 100 Spartans. 

"King."

The Spartan walk closer to their king. The king stood with his back to them. They cannot see the king's face, but with just looking at the king's back, they could feel a great disappointment from the king. 

"King, it's not entirely your fault."

"Yeah, it was the Black Hunter group, the Soul Saint's doing after all!"

Previously, the Spartans were hard to catch up to Troy because they got slowed down by Soul Saint's existence. 

That's why they were only able to catch up after the Soul Saint was about to leave.

Even so, they couldn't ignore the fact that Troy was the King who failed to protect his kingdom. And all of Ars' point is true. 

"Let's check on the people and see what we can do."

After saying that, Troy jumps into the center of the city, leaving the Spartans to run after him.
