Waaaah! Waaaah! Waaah!

A sound of a siren went off in the Navy Fort, and the town woke up earlier than usual before the sun had even come up.

"What's going on, dad?"

The children peeked out of the windows to see navy soldiers running towards the port like their feet were on fire.

"Get away from the windows!"

The parents went and took the children straight to the basement while the sound of sirens seeped through the thick walls.

"Is the Navy Fort under attack?"

The mother whispered to her husband, and her husband shrugged his shoulders as he just didn't know.

Currently in the Navy Fort's port, the ships were quickly manned with thousands of navy soldiers, with cloaks of white billowing in the wind.

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

In that moment, the navy soldiers saluted on top of the main battleship as Ethan Blackforest made his way up the gangway.

He followed others into the meeting room, where high-ranking officers were already around, standing around the table.

"What is the situation?"

Ethan asked with the gold cloak of the Fleet Admiral draped over his shoulders and cascading down his back.

"The alarm went off in the Downed Prison, and Prison Warden Mars sent a distress call. It has been thirty minutes since then.

"They've already started to make their way down the floors to recapture the weaker inmates, but they will wait for us before they go to Martial Kings and beyond."

A Navy Intelligence Officer said.

"What about the situation with the Immortal?"

Ethan asked.

"Unknown."

He said.

"What about other admirals?"

Ethan asked.

"They've answered the call, and it will take too long for them to come with ships, so they are making their way down to the Downed Prison individually.

"If we leave now, we might arrive there at the same time as Admiral Abracadabra, Arcanielago, Big Maestro, and King Rederic."

"Let's go then."

Ethan crossed his arms behind his back, and the mighty fleet of a hundred navy ships departed from the Navy Fort's port at the same time.

It was a shocking sight to the citizens of the Navy Fort, as it looked like the navy was heading to a war.

Something big was about to happen.

…

Ding…

"The elevator is coming down!"

Martial Kings of the freezing floor of eight screamed as they heard the familiar sound of the elevator ding.

In that moment, the elevator doors opened, and they saw a group of inmates stepping out with smirks on their faces.

They came from below, so they were Martial Legends.

Immediately, Martial Kings, who prided themselves on their strength and power, felt quite intimidated.

And at the front of them all, Kiernan walked, and when the Martial Kings saw him, they were shocked.

They turned around to see an identical-looking man as Kiernan, who was in his Captain Jack disguise, lying inside his cell.

"What the hell?"

They realized that Kiernan didn't have his collar on, and that identical figure must be somehow related to his Martial Ability.

To think that he had gone to lower floors, and for some reason, these insanely powerful Martial Legends were following him!

And that wasn't all.

A stitched-up-mouthed woman was flying above her, and she was also seemingly following him as well.

The energy she was giving off was much stronger than Martial Legends and even stronger than Martial Emperors that they've met!

"Everyone!"

Kiernan hopped on top of a small snow mountain, and the Martial Kings gathered before him.

"I went to the control room, and I freed every inmate. Currently, the prison guards are trying to contain the weaker floors.

"But they will come here eventually, most likely with navy reinforcements, and we cannot defeat that kind of firepower.

"I have a plan to gather every inmate from the stronger floors, all the way to level six, and gather an army.

"With that army, we'll push through the prison guards and escape the prison. How does that sound?"

Kiernan asked.

He knew that they didn't like him because of what he did, but he also believed their hate towards the prison guards and this place was greater.

"We are fucking in!"

Martial Kings shouted and started cheering loudly.

Teaming up with these insanely strong Martial Legends, and the strange woman seemed the best bet to leave this place.

"Let's keep moving."

Kiernan moved to the elevators, and everyone squeezed inside the enormous elevator that had enough space for all of them.

It was so big because once in the past they were imprisoning Old Giants of the Fabled Legends here, but not anymore.

They arrived at the seventh floor, and the Martial Kings were cheering in excitement after escaping the frozen floor.

They were finally not cold!

Finally they were able to cry without their eyes freezing shut because of it being so cold.

From behind the volcano hills, lava rivers, and firebloom fields, the malnourished-looking Martial Grandmasters stepped into the light.

They had been trying to use the elevator that would take them to the sixth floor, but it wasn't working.

"Want to follow us up?"

Kiernan pointed at the ceiling.

"Ah…"

Martial Grandmasters looked at the shockingly powerful men behind Kiernan and absentmindedly just said, "Yeah."

They took the elevator once more and arrived at the sixth floor, the buzzing tropical floor.

When the elevator door was open, they were met with a blast of warm air and the sound of exotic birds chirping.

In the same moment, hundreds of gazes from the Martial Masters turned to them, their eyes filled with curiosity and suspicion.

"They came from below…"

"Martial Grandmasters?"

"Some, yes, but those guys at back… Martial Kings and above, easily!"

"What insane energy…"

They slowly approached them with hesitant steps, and at that moment, a white-haired young man walked past them all.

He walked fast without any hesitation.

"Took you long enough!"

Julian said with a smirk.

"I had to do some recruiting."

Kiernan and Julian smacked hands in a handshake.

"Your friend?"

Renette asked.

"Yes. We got everything that we needed, and now…"

Kiernan twirled the key in his hand, and everyone's eyes popped wide open at the sight of it.

They lined up and got their collars removed, making them teary-eyed and extremely happy.

The martial souls weren't meant to be chained, and because of that, they were in a constant state of unhappiness and depression.

They were finally able to breathe!
