Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 124: Temple of Divine

”Do not get entangled with the North Region geniuses. They know no bounds,” Aurelia warned. ”If you need to be cautious about the geniuses from the South Region, then the ones from the North Region are the ones you should fear. If any conflict arises with them, work together with the West Region to sort it out. Understand?”

Everyone nodded, their faces hard with seriousness. They understood that the geniuses from the North and South Regions were the two forces they needed to be cautious of, or things could quickly take a turn for the worse.

ʼThe South Region is like a world of criminals… but what about the North Region?ʼ Max wondered curiously. He wasnʼt worried about the geniuses from those regions; rather, he was intrigued by the culture and customs of both.

Max glanced around at everyone, noticing that they were busy with their own matters, and decided to keep himself occupied.

He slowly entered the Dimension of Time and began training to improve the fusion of his two auras.

Time passed, and the jet finally reached its destination and landed.

Everyone, including Max, disembarked and found themselves standing in a grassy field.

Not far from them stood four groups from the four major guilds. Each group had ten geniuses—seven at the Apprentice Rank and three at the Adept Rank—just like the Phoenix Order guild.

”You people from the Phoenix Order are late as always,” a middle-aged man with long golden hair and a heavy-built body walked over, his eyes scanning Max. He was the leader of the Lionheart Guild, James Garfield.

Max felt a chill down his spine as he noticed the manʼs glare. ʼThis old man… heʼs looking at me like Iʼm some kind of prey,ʼ Max thought, silently smiling as he glanced at the leader of the Lionheart Guild.

”The Temple hasnʼt opened yet, so weʼre all on time,” Aurelia replied, her eyes darting toward the other three guilds.

”Aurelia? Do you seriously need to bring a level 4 Apprentice Rank trash to this temple?” A mocking voice reached their ears. Many of those present didnʼt need to see who it was; they knew all too well that it was Parker Benette.

Maxʼs eyes shifted toward the Emerald Legion guild, where a middle-aged man with a thin build had just spoken. His face wore a sneering expression as he glanced at the geniuses from the Phoenix Order guild.

Aurelia didnʼt even look at the Emerald Legion guild. She turned her attention to the Knights of Valor guild. ”How much longer until the portal opens?” she asked the leader of the Knights of Valor, Kate Hardy, famously known as Knight Kate.

On the other hand, Parker fumed with rage at being ignored by Aurelia, but he did nothing and instead focused his sneer on Max.

As for Max, he observed that the leader of the Knights of Valor was surprisingly a lady clad in white and golden armor, with long white hair. He hadnʼt expected a guild focused on knightly honor to be led by a woman.

Kate glanced at the geniuses of the Phoenix Order guild before meeting Aureliaʼs eyes. ”It will take ten more minutes,” she replied calmly.

Aurelia nodded and waited.

Meanwhile, Max observed the geniuses from each guild and recognized some familiar faces, such as Nash from the Lionheart Guild and the two masked individuals from the Black Lotus Guild.

Although he couldnʼt see their faces, he instinctively knew they were the same individuals who had helped him during his battle with Veylin. He was sure of it.

ʼIt must be because of my bloodline,ʼ Max mused. One thing he was certain of—his bloodline was stronger than any member of the Black Lotus guild he had encountered so far.

ʼMaybe I should visit the Black Lotus guild to check it out,ʼ a tempting thought surfaced in his mind. Though he wasnʼt sure whether their intentions were pure, he was very interested in the inheritance of their bloodlines.

”Youʼre Max, right? I challenge you to a fight,” a young man appeared in front of the Phoenix Order guild and directly challenged Max.

Max glanced at him and noticed he was one of the geniuses from the Emerald Legion.

”Let the young ones have a go, since weʼre already waiting,” Parkerʼs sly face revealed his conspiratorial nature, his voice cold.

Max looked at Aurelia, who gave a calm nod.

Seeing he had permission, Max stepped forward with a cold sneer on his face. ʼThey underestimate me because of my low rank… I have to clear up their doubts,ʼ he thought slyly as he appeared before the youth.

The young man, around 20 years old with black hair, looked at Max with a sneer. ”Iʼm Harry.”

Max nodded and replied, ”Iʼm Max.”

Harry grinned. ”Iʼll attack first.” With that, his hands became covered in brown rocks, and he dashed toward Max.

”Mountain Fist!” Harry shouted, slamming his fist into Max with all his strength. However, the sensation of his fist striking a face never came, nor did Maxʼs imagined scream.

It was only a moment later that Harry realized his fist had been stopped barehanded by Max.

”You!” Harry was shocked and immediately attempted to retreat, but he couldnʼt free his hand from Maxʼs grip.

”Why are you running so fast?” Max sneered, delivering a punch to Harryʼs gut.

”Aggh!” Harry coughed violently, his insides churning from the blow.

Max grinned and landed another punch.

”Cough.” A mouthful of blood escaped from Harryʼs mouth as his face turned pale.

Everyone watching the battle was surprised, particularly those who had doubted Maxʼs strength. They found it hard to believe that someone at level 3 of the Apprentice Rank could easily defeat someone at level 10 of the Apprentice Rank.

ʼThis kid… he really is a genius,ʼ James, the leader of the Lionheart Guild, secretly praised Max. His eyes gleamed with admiration as he watched the fight.

On the other hand, Parker fumed with rage, seeing his guild member being beaten so brutally.

”Stop it!” he shouted. ”This was supposed to be a friendly spar, but you, kid, with evil intentions, took it too far.”

Max glanced at him, then lifted Harry before sending him flying toward Parker. ”Here, you can have him,” he sneered as he walked back to his group.

Parker caught Harryʼs battered form and handed him to others to heal, his gaze turning angrily to Aurelia. However, he remained silent. He understood that it was his own decision to start the fight, and since they had lost, he couldnʼt say anything further.

”Armin, Roy, and Jordan, once youʼre inside the temple and see an opportunity… eliminate Max. I donʼt want to see him come out,” Parker instructed the three strongest geniuses of the Emerald Legion, whose strength was at the peak of Adept Rank.

They nodded calmly.

Meanwhile, Kate Hardy, the leader of the Knights of Valor guild, kept glancing at Max from time to time. Having realized that a genius of his caliber was rare, she found herself increasingly curious about him.

Just then, a blue bolt of lightning descended before everyone, revealing a blue-colored portal. It appeared just like a normal portal but everyone here knew that it was the portal leading to the temple.
