Xue Ren charged out from the tavern with fear on his face. He was scared that his thoughts are accurate... The connection disappearance, although for a while, scared him even more, painting the face of Sex God with dread.
He anxiously began running towards the capital going beyond the limits once more, reaching the speed that was clearly above the Black Rank...
Rure who was in the same tavern sensed his movement due to abrupt release of Xue Ren's techniques and magic, thus, he also followed, albeit slower. Nevertheless, the brother and his vampires also began coming back to the capital.
'What happened?'
The vampire prince wanted to ask yet he couldn't as Xue Ren already disappeared from his sight.

Eleonora! She was watching and making sure that little vampire beauty is fine sending cold particles to assist her fighting. At first it was unnoticeable, but due to their connection with the same man, the ladies quickly formed their own and worked together...
One from close range, one from afar...
Thanks to that, vampire's side had less casualties than bulls who recklessly charged forward. Soon, the snow beauty turned her head to the side as she sensed the arrival of Black Guards. They were the main and direct strength of the Emperor.
The one who was taking the command of this very force was the same man that had stopped Xue Ren from killing Neydon. He had armor on his whole body, thus, no one could see his appearance, only the high condensed magic power that was seeping out from his body...
They came here to protect those who are on the Black Rank power. This rank itself has tremendous importance for Cursus Empire, thus their main target of defense were The Empresses and their sons who are mostly the ones with low black rank.
As for those below Black One... Cursus Empire has a lot of second rate and third rate powers below themselves, thus, the prodigies and useful pawns at Purple Rank are born every year... The Black rank is only the 'hard' and 'solid' barrier for population of Cursus Continent.
Also, with three empires in Corrum Continent, the casualties they are experiencing are even more severe with current madness of demonic race.

Xue Ren was going so fast that he stumbled on the way several times already. Not caring about clothes, dirt or anything at all, Xue Ren was going straight to the capital. However, soon, he changed the direction as connection answered him briefly telling the location of Duan Qiu...
The closer he got, the more nervous he began feeling. The connection seemed weak, something he has never felt before. Also, the pain coming from the 'piercing' hasn't left him at all, rather, it felt even more clearer and painful.
Soon, Xue Ren could see a huge white light coming from the same direction. He has been running here for two days straight! Due to his abnormal speed, Xue Ren's whole body hurt so much he also had blood coming out from his eyes, nose and other parts of the body.
Still, the moment he got close enough to see the source of the white light, his eyes went wide and all the pain disappeared. Blankly staring at the scene unfolding before him, Xue Ren fell onto the ground with disbelief...
"No...way...Why..."
The sight of Neydon and demonic men didn't enter his eyes. Only decimated body of Duan Qiu filled with blood, her head buried into the ground due to high stomping of Neydon... He could see boots prints on her dirtied red hair which made his heart to thump loudly...
Thump! Thump!
How could someone be so cruel? How had his Qiu Qiu wronged? Even he himself was never this cruel to his enemies... Then, the sight of distorted painting entered his eyes...
Thump! Thump!
"A.... Bu-....W-hh-..."
He tried to speak yet no words could come out from his mouth. With frozen body, only the tears that already began flowing down form his eyes could move... Then, the words that came out directly out from the white sword sent Xue Ren into frenzied state.
'Dont cry, Ren. I am sorry.'
"Aaaarghhhhhh!"
-
Kuzan who saw the body of Duan Qiu also felt sad. Out of all Xue Ren's women, he found her to be the most favourite one. She sometimes slapped him, sometimes gave snack treating him like pet all along. But he still liked her the most.
Sitting on his throne, the Kuzan's long hair suddenly fluttered as he looked up at the Divine Gates of Xue Ren...
Boom! The crack appeared causing the whole throne room to tremble...
"Shit..."
Even though he wasn't divinity and had a little of knowledge on them, something like breaking divine gates shouldn't be happening! Yet the divine gates of Sex God trembled and more and more cracks began to appear.
Soon, those cracks also released the black energy which somehow calmed down Kuzan. It was sin's energy, the energy that was under Xue Ren's control...
'Divinities can not make contract with sin's yet Xue Ren could... So what will happen?'
Then, the divine gates opened by themselves showing the bed and gems that were evidence of Xue Ren's 'conquered' divine energies... Those crystals and bed were also slowly under the effect of the black energy rampage.
Those energies manifested into pure, black streaks of energy and went rampant around throne's room, sending Kuzan all the way to the throne of Superbia. She herself was watching with interest as it was like Kuzan said, the first time for such thing to happen in her whole life.
She knew that no matter what, her sin's energy won't hurt Xue Ren.
Then, in the midst of the storm caused by black energy, the golden light shone coming directly from the third throne. The human figure of man began forming from the various Qi in this very throne. Was the Sword Qi, the only thing hidden in this throne?
"Third is awakening."
Kuzan briefly spoke, then looked towards the screen showing current Xue Ren and his eyes went wide.
