Two weeks have gone by peacefully, the elders have been performing well. Many of the fighters, and civilians were starting to 'truly' respect the elders, not because of status, but because of their efforts they've made to help. Although it was an order from Sin, everyone began to approve of them.

Zenith had started the training of all the children, during the process, Sin had recommended Zenith to implement a 'reward all and punish all' system. With the goal in mind, the children would all work hard, and become a single unity. Eventually forgetting about the massive divide of the nobles, and the peasants mentality which had grown amongst the clan. At the end of every week, Sin would put to test what they've learned, and what they can improve on. Even going as far as teaching his [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] and other combat techniques. The children were all like sponges, absorbing all the knowledge and improving at incomparable speeds.

After having found some time to himself, Sin reviews the system logs waiting for him after his fight with Alarune.

[Warning! Your body, meridians, organs, muscles have been severely wounded. You can only display 10% of your full combat power.]

After reading through all the logs, Sin feels a mixture of happiness and sadness. He was always curious why he didn't get experience from his kills. Now it was made clear, and it frustrated him. His subconscious had been hinting at hidden dangers lurking in the waters of [Desolate Kingdom.] With an extreme state of urgency, Sin had been training like a madman, every night he would summon all 40 clan elders, sparring against them all in groups.

Under the pressure of various combat styles, weapon masteries, and combination techniques. Sin had been using this time to refine his [Blood Dragon Sword Methods.] After the fight against Arkus, and the other elders, Sin had gained insight on how to combine different paths of [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] into one. This had also been improving his usage of Sword Qi. In doing this, Sin had been nurturing the Spirit for his Soul Weapon.

Sin had been sitting cross legged doing mental training, fighting against previous and present opponents. Sin had been interrupted during the session, he had been in the center of the training grounds. There was an inactive portal there, since no one had known what it was used for, Sin had taken the surrounding area as his training field.

It had suddenly erupted, with blue and white light flashing forming a cyclone inside of it. Having his interest piqued Sin approached it, to his shock he could smell the scent of the curry his mom would make him. Thinking to himself whether this were a trap, or just mere coincidence. A voice pierces through the portal stunning Sin.

"Sin It's Zen, I do not have much time to explain the situation. So you're just going to have to accept it for as it is now. I am sending you over various things you would've requested from me."

Afterwards big black garbage bags had landed in front of him in piles.

"You can relax and do whatever you need to over on your end. Your family is in good hands, and everyone from the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team is here. There is no way any harm will fall upon your family, with all of us brothers and sisters here."

Having much to ask, Sin stops himself as he thanks his brother. "Thank you Zen, if it weren't for you and everyone else. I would truly be worried sick about my family."

After saying his piece Sins father had replaced Zen.

"My son, there is not much you can say within just 2 minutes. However, we all know your doing something amazing over there. Your mother and I are proud of you son, keep doing what you're doing and believe in yourself. No matter what you're doing, trust your heart!"

Sins mother had pushed her husband out of the way. Sobbing incessantly his mothers choked words enter through the portal.

"My handsome and mighty son..... Mother misses you so much, every night I worry about you. Just 3 weeks ago, I could feel it as if your life vanished. I couldn't believe it, my son is a monstrous existence and nothing can take you out easily. I don't know what enemies you're fighting over there, but never be reckless like that again!"

Sins heart ached, hearing his mother's concern and choked voice. Sin pushes his hand through the portal, feeling the resistance pushing back against his hand. Sin had clenched his left hand into a fist, raining fists down onto it rocking it left and right. Spider web like cracks spread out beneath the portal.

Feeling the resistance flutter for a minute, Sin empowers his body with Mana pushing through the portal. Arriving through the portal to the other side was not without a price. Appearing back in his house, Sins body had hundreds of lacerations and cuts appear on it. Dying the carpeted floor below in his own blood.

Wrapping his arms around his mother, Sin hugs her tightly. "You don't have to worry mother, your son won't be stubborn like that again."

Sin had clasped wrists with Zen, and all the other brothers and sisters from the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team. Many had things they wanted to say, but knowing the short time frame they held it back.

Seeing this Sin takes his shirt off, pointing towards his neck where the necklace once used to hang. "Don't worry you guys, I have broken through the cage I created for myself. Truth be told, I was a foolish man loving someone so much only to not receive the love back. I only realized that when I was close to dying."

Feeling the depressive atmosphere that once surrounded Sin disappeared. His comrades in arms, mother and father let out sighs of relief. Stepping forward and patting Sin on the shoulder, his father says.

"A man that can love someone so much, is not a weakness. It in turn is a strength, it proves your loyalty and the kind of man you are. But I must say, I am happy you finally let go of those scars in your heart. It truly was making you a recluse son."

Smiling warmly Sin hugs his father, mother, and everyone else. "It has been nearly 2 minutes everyone, I better head back before I lose my chance to."

Walking towards the portal, Zen had been fighting internally over a matter. Calling out from behind.

"Sin wait! There's something I think you should know."

Turning around and looking at his brother in arms. "What is it Zen?"

Gritting his teeth Zen replied "Sabrina..... She is alive."

Stunned Sin stands there motionless, eventually a smile had formed on his face. "Thank you brother, I am happy to hear she is alive, I do not know how she is. But I do know there is no reason for us to see each other. Let bygones be bygones and nothing else."

Walking towards the Portal, Sin turns around one last time. "I love you all, please tell the little ones that uncle Sin loves them. Next time I will bring presents, and delicacies back with me." Sin smiles confidently to everyone. "Well I am off now, take care everyone I'll be back soon."

Punching a hole into the portal, Sin appears back into the Purgatory Boot Camp in the nick of time. If delayed for a second longer, he would have been left floating in an unknown part of the galaxy. Wiping off the sweat that appeared on his forehead.

Feeling rejuvenated after seeing his family doing well, Sin makes his way over to Zenith. "Summon all the clan elders, you need to be there also. I have things for you all to read and implement in training. From tomorrow onwards, everyone in the clan will be training. The women that are pregnant, are not expected to participate unless they want to. The elderly, and the ones with disabilities, they're not expected to pursue the training, but also not turned away from it if they insist to do it."

Zenith gets down on one knee "Yes Wolf King it will be done!" Standing back up and flashing away to summon all the clan elders. Sin is left with all the children staring at him.

"Alright children, you can all go home for lunch early." Sin declares, while pulling out various snacks from his pockets. "You've all been improving, and supporting each other. That is what it means to be equals, no one above you and no one below you."

All the children run up to Sin grabbing their snack. All of the children gather around and thank Sin.

"Thank you great Wolf King!" All the children run away laughing, the majority of them continuing their training routines against each other on their way home.

Seeing the children run off, A bright smile rises upon Sins mouth. "This is what I am fighting to protect in this world. Eventually I will have my own children to protect and care for, just as much as I do these kids."

After waiting for close to half an hour, all the Elders arrive with Zenith in the lead. Looking at the clan Elders Sin points towards the black garbage bags behind him. "There are books of military tactics, theories on energy control, various martial arts, as well as video projections. I want all of you to grab a book that catches your interest, read it and switch books with each other. From today onwards, everyone in the whole clan will begin training. With the exception of the elderly, the disabled, and pregnant women. However, if they ask of their own free volition, they are not to be turned away."

Many thoughts race through the elders minds present. Sin sees the struggle within "You do not have to worry about food and resources. Zenith, Merala and myself will scour the areas gathering food and various resources. During this period of training, everyday everyone will go out in teams of 25 people. There are plenty of areas teeming with wild beasts, bandits and so forth. Also from this point in time onward, I will be teaching everyone my exclusive [Blood Dragon Sword Methods.]"

Arkus walks to the front of all the elders, fighting spirit burning within his eyes.

"Wolf King Sin, the technique you used to defeat me and 19 other elders in a Mana combination formation. Is that also related to your exclusive technique?"

Nodding his head "Yes it is, but it is part of the Water Path. My [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] has the basic techniques, training exercises, and 6 paths total to focus on. The Water path, Sky path, Earth path, Fire path, Spirit path, and Life path. To truly master [Blood Dragon Sword Methods] you must combine all 6 paths. When you do, you will enter the Conquerors path."

"I would like to make this crystal clear right now. There will be no dividing factions in my clan, the so called 'nobles' will be partnered up with the non nobility."

The six elders present that are part of the noble faction grumble in complaint. One of them step forward to represent the group.

"Wolf King, I beg you to change your decision. We were deemed nobility in the capital city for our contributions."

Flashing in front of the elder who had talked back. Sin slaps the man across his face, sending him skidding through the ground backwards. Appearing behind him, Sin places his hand on the back of the elders head, and smashed downwards into the ground. Blood flies out of the pit that the elders head has claimed home. Placing one foot on the back of the elders head, and looking at the other 5 noble elders.

"Truly, I am not a hard man to work with. However, all of you make it so that I have to be a hard man to work with. This is my house now, if any of you have complaints. Raise your fists and let's talk about it personally!"

Seeing the viciousness Sin had used to quell the fire, all the noble elders back off with their heads hung in shame.

Sin spits on the elders body beneath his feet. "If I say black is white, black is white. And if I say white is black, white is black! There are no noble families in my clan, there are only people of equal status. Until the day all of you learn that, I will be personally training the 6 of you until you learn your motherfucking place!"

"All of you are dismissed. Let this be a warning to everyone present. We are all allies and of the same clan, and most important of all we are human! We all bleed the colour red, we cry the same tears, we love with our hearts the same, and we care with our hearts the same. Remember that and if you don't, I will make sure all of you will damn right remember it to the fucking grave!"
