Chapter 47 The Shield Union Purpose

Ten years ago, strange dimensional portals began to appear on the human continent. After examining the strange portals, it was discovered that they were dimensional distortions containing many dangerous monsters within them. In general, the public did not know what these portals were exactly, which spread terror and chaos on the human continent. But some of the few major powers knew that these portals were the dungeons mentioned in the legends, and they also knew what it meant for these dungeons to appear on the human continent, because of that, a lot of the human superpowers decided to put together an international team strong enough to tackle the threats of dungeons and the unknown dangers outside the barrier. The team that would later be called the Shield Union.

The idea of ​​this team was simple gather the best geniuses and talented young people in the continent and train them in the International Academy using the best resources available in the continent for three years. After they graduate, they will gain huge authority and power and their main objective will be to protect the human continent with the support of the Three Kingdoms with the hope that they will become the second *Shield team*.

Thus, after several years of preparation, a new elite class was finally announced at the International Academy and its objectives were clarified. After this news spread, everyone realized the significance of this class and the impact that the shield team would have in the future on the human continent. Thus, a test was conducted to select the candidates who will enter the shield class with one condition, the age of the participant must not exceed twenty years. But despite this condition hundreds of thousands of applicants took this test, even members of the ancient and royal families took this test. But out of hundreds of thousands of applicants, only twenty-three were selected as students. One of these students is Fray Prada.

Of the twenty-three students who joined the class, only sixteen remained. The other seven left for various personal reasons.

Iskar City

Under the Prada family knights' headquarters

Don is one of these students who didn't graduate. After leaving the academy he established one of the most powerful pirate groups on the continent, but one day after entering the waters of Iskar city, he was attacked by the troops of the Prada family, and all his forces were eliminated and he was imprisoned.

(That bastard, I'll surely kill him when I get out of here.) Don thought angrily, sitting on a simple wooden chair in a dark, windowless cell. He already knows who is responsible for what happened to him and he is determined to take revenge as soon as he gets the chance

Dak Dak Dak

Suddenly don heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and his expression became careful. It didn't take long before he could see a young man with red hair and a silly smile heading toward his cell.

"Hello! My name is Casper and I have orders to bring you to the palace," said the young man with a soft voice.

(Finally, This is a good chance to escape) Don thought after hearing Casper's words optimistically, that it seems that Casper is a young guy perhaps in his twenties as well. he wouldn't be very strong at most in the Sixth Kingdom, it wouldn't be difficult to escape from him. He just has to wait for the right opportunity.

"Okay. Let's go" Don

​ "Oh! You seem to be very obedient against expectation, okay," said Casper, as he opened the cell's door. After opening the door Casper continued his words. "Since the master sent me personally, you must be very strong but I have to warn you. It is impossible for you to escape."

(Send him personally? Is this someone important!?) Don thought with a serious expression. still, he did not take Casper's words seriously, as he would not miss this opportunity to escape, even if he sacrificed his life

"Okay, let's go..." Casper said as he opened the way for Don to walk in front of him

(What? Is he going to let me walk in front of him, without handcuffs...is he crazy or is it just self-confidence?) Don thought with a surprised expression, and then took the opportunity and advanced in front of Casper.

Thus, Don and Casper climbed the stairs. This jail is dedicated to imprison the strongest and most dangerous warriors, and to reduce the chances of prisoners escaping, it was built underground with strong materials. And because the prison is directly under the Knights Headquarters, it is guarded by many guard knights, and elite knights, even a warrior from the Sixth Kingdom cannot escape from this prison.

After a few minutes of walking, Don and Casper left the Knights' Headquarters and began to head towards Prada Palace. So far, Casper hasn't taken any precautions to prevent Don from escaping. He was just walking by his side as if they were going for a normal walk, which made Don doubt Casper's intentions, but nevertheless, after some time of thinking, he decided to take this opportunity to escape. He is a warrior in the Sixth Kingdom if he decides to escape even a warrior from the Seventh Kingdom will find it difficult to stop him. Hence, don rushed with all his might to get away from Casper.

(Why isn't he trying to chase me?) Don thought after turning around and seeing that Casper hadn't followed him, he just standing there and looking at him with a twisted smile on his face. suddenly...

swoosh

Without a warning, Don forcefully fell to the ground on his face, then suddenly he felt a strong pain coming from his legs, after he looked at his legs, he opened his eyes with shook after finding that both of his legs were amputated, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't understand how this happened, how his legs were cut off without him noticing...

"Ahhhhh" Don cried out loud after feeling the pain getting stronger and stronger to the point that his thoughts became blurry because of the pain.

*******

The average life span of people in this world is one hundred and fifty years, so a man in his twenties is considered very young in this world.
