Nathan walked to the castle with Machina. As expected, the soldiers immediately stopped him.

"Excuse me. Can I enter here? I’d like to examine the patient to see if I can help." Nathan smiled.

"Who even are you?" The soldier frowned. "There are already so many impostors trying to enter the castle. You are just one of them."

"Impostors, huh? What should I do to enter then?" Nathan asked.

"Proof that you are at least a Transmutation Grandmaster."

"In that case..." Nathan paused for a moment before releasing his energy. He didn’t let it explode. Instead, it was gently covering him.

The soldiers were confused, but all of a sudden, he heard a raging voice coming from above. "Are you trying to cause a ruckus here?!"

"!!!" The soldiers looked shocked and immediately dropped to their knees. "Saint Freliya."

Nathan raised his head, looking at the elf with long silver hair. Her pupils had a cross symbol on them.

She looked exactly like a human who wasn’t even twenties. Other than the fact that her ears were long and pointy, nothing looked different from that of a human.

Of course, that was just her outer appearance. Inside her body, he could see the energy flow differently from that of a human. It was much more robust. It even blended with the energy in the environment.

Nathan simply said, "I’d like to examine the patients. Since the guards were just doing their jobs, I had no choice."

"You should have just announced that you are a saint."

"!!!" The soldiers panicked when they heard Nathan was actually a saint. They never thought that the weak-looking person was a saint. However, they didn’t know about his race, considering he covered his appearance.

Nathan said, "I’m afraid no one will believe it. Happens all the time."

Freliya narrowed her eyes. She landed in front of Nathan before saying, "Follow me."

Nathan smiled as Machina followed right behind him. The soldiers felt relieved, thinking that Nathan was actually explaining things to them. If not, the consequences would be severe.

The castle itself looked no different from the one in the Azilia Kingdom. The corridor was made of stone. In fact, the materials themselves looked the same.

Nathan didn’t say anything else until he reached the room. There were two people inside the room. The first one was an ogre with a long blue robe and the other one was an elf. He thought the elf was the attending doctor, while the ogre was the transmutation king people had been talking about.

"Did you find anything?" Freliya asked the ogre.

"Please wait a moment, Saint Freliya..." The ogre looked troubled as he was examining the person.

Freliya turned to Nathan. "How about you?"

Nathan took a step forward.

’So, this is the elf king...’ Nathan narrowed his eyes. The elf king looked similar to Freliya, but he looked slightly older. He had a broad forehead and long, silver hair as well.

His energy was quite strong, but its movement was entangled. There were even traces of other energies in it, most likely from consuming elixirs.

Sadly, other than the elf king’s energy, Nathan couldn’t sense anything wrong with him. In other words, he really needed Anubis.

He could have used Crystal Fusion so that Anubis could sense him directly, but he didn’t bother to cover himself or change to another identity.

That was why Nathan said, "I’d like to examine him further. It’s just... using my power here..."

Nathan glanced to the side, as if indicating that the problems were to be seen by these two.

"..." Freliya frowned, but since it was a request from a fellow saint, she immediately shouted, "Both of you, leave!"

"Saint Freliya? I..." The transmutation king was startled.

"You’ve had your chance. Now that there’s another saint trying to examine my brother, you need to leave. If you want to try again, do it later. Now, get out!"

The transmutation king was dumbfounded. He was surprised there was another saint, but he had never seen a saint like Nathan.

Besides, Nathan was still covering his appearance, so he looked suspicious. Still, a saint could feel another saint, so Saint Freliya shouldn’t be lying.

He had no other choice but to follow her order.

As soon as they vacated the room, Saint Freliya turned to Nathan, demanding that he begin.

Nathan snapped his fingers and summoned Anubis.

"!!!" Saint Freliya looked shocked. ’Transmutation? No, this is...’

She assumed the worst, so she immediately took out her wooden wand from her magic pouch and pointed it at Nathan. "Who are you?! You are not from this world."

"A visitor who happened to come to this world." Nathan nodded, not bothering to hide.

Saint Freliya couldn’t exert her power completely in this room, afraid that she would harm her brother.

"How dare you! The elf goddess is in this castle. The moment he knows you are here, you’re dead."

Nathan simply pointed to Anubis. Although Anubis hadn’t fully transformed into a true god, he had gotten his true vessel. He was still trying to convert his divinity into authority.

However, Anubis’s presence was much more concerning, not to Saint Freliya, but to the elf goddess.

"Stand down, Freliya."

"!!!" Freliya turned her head to the left. "Aunt?!"

Nathan and Anubis looked at this new elf. She looked a bit older than the other two elves, but even she didn’t look older than a human in their mid twenties.

She had a much more mature and gentle appearance, especially with the addition of her glasses and mole under her right eye. She braided her silver hair down her back, but she showed no sign of aggression.

"If he really wants to make trouble, he wouldn’t even bother revealing his presence like this. Instead, he will just attack the castle without any warning. Besides, I can see the space and time fluctuation on you. You must be able to reach this room with your power."

Nathan pulled down his mask and opened his hood, showing his face.

"A human?!" Freliya looked shocked. There was a bit of prejudice in her eyes.

"Well, I can’t say I’m here without a purpose. I just want to say that I might be able to achieve my goal if I treat this guy, and my goal is not harmful to you or the people in this world." Nathan glanced to the side. "Anubis?"

"His condition is quite complex. The bad news is... even I can’t treat him alone. The good news is... I know how to treat him."
