The next few days went without anything interesting she sometimes took out her lizard from the book of earth to play with her than feed it, then let it back inside to continue her journey; she even met fighting powers from time to time. It was evident that those who had weaker fighting abilities awoken element related Halos that could summon the pacific elements than controlled them with another Halo or technique. She liked watching these fights since this showed how people fought inside the sect; some killed, but some let their opponents leave; they also showed signs of using reaper abilities; everyone had unique eyes with slight differences that amazed her.
Cyra main way of detection came from wing sand as she created some then threw it up in the air; this movement was followed up with a release of an arrow, which forces helped explode the ball of sand towards every direction with relative easiness, with the lightweight sand she could her detection range became twice as long as during the stormy winds at the lower parts of the beach.
Her little Lizard was also growing at a great speed. The original hand side lizard was almost as big as her arm, she didn't mind this that much, but it surprised her nothing less she never saw a lizard that can grow with such a fast speed, after taking it back to the book of earth she continued her journey as always without stopping trying to find the entrance to legacy.
Her Fluffy Fox egg was still unmoving without any signs of hatching, which truly disappointed her. She wanted to have fluffy pets so badly, and she secretly decided that whenever she came across anything fluffy, she would take it away with the book of earth at all costs. She had to lessen the longing she felt for the fox.
She also decided to raise the size inside the cube so she could store much more things inside, as it was getting a little small, so she rose it to 10x10 cubic meters without an issue but than she had to stop since the book of earth said that unless she reached stage 2, there were no more options to raise its size, even if she had all the information of the world.
She occasionally experienced a slightly trembling and piercing pain in her arm. After the trembling was gone, a few hours long, throbbing pain would follow. To her surprise, whenever she asked the system about it, it said that her body has no problem. She must have imagined things.
But then again, there was another fight nearby. Hence, she decided to watch it, getting closer. She saw Zidan Exile fighting with a youth she has never seen before; it looked like they were evenly matched. Still, even then, both of them had blood-stained clothes, it was evident that their fight took a long time.
It was still looking like a draw, yet she still decided to observe the situation because she still had no idea about what was going on, so Cyra was quietly listening to their conversation, with eagerly to find out what was going on, the sooner it was, the better, since she wanted to continue towards the legacy while she was also curious.
"You will never defeat me," Said Zidan Exile.
"Oh, is that so?"
"Yes, I already knew that my team had sold me out, but it doesn't matter as long as I am stronger than you!"
"Such big words, but I wonder if you can defend against this!" As he said this, the youth's eyes changed as a bolt of purple lightning flicked, and a gentle wave of Essence flew out.
"Cheap tricks!" Said Zidan as he looked at the youth with a mocking smile. It was evident that he was sure that the Essence wave couldn't hurt him; otherwise, he could have avoided it with relative ease.
"What?! How is that possible?!"
"Not the only one who can buy off people; your servants are rather talkative when your not around... wait, what is going on?! Why can't I move?
"They only talk if I wish them to talk. Now die!" Said the youth as he slowly walked towards the immobilized Zidan.
Should I help him or no..? As she was thinking about that she realized that her body started slightly trembling, while the urge to fight and help him took over, she eventually decided to go because no matter what she did, the trembling of her body became stronger and stronger to the point where it was unbearable to withstand, in the end, she went with the flow; she commanded the Nano-BBB to change from military look to that of a more casual and lighter similar to what most cultivators were wearing along the way towards here she also undid her invisibility than vanished from her original spot and appeared right next to Zidan the moment he was about to fall and stopped the unknown youth from killing the weak and fragile friend of hers, which she had doubts about he seemed to act differently.
"Who are you?" Screamed the youth and Zidan in a union; neither of them expected a third party to observe their fight; this changed everything because they were evenly matched. Still, with Cyra interference, things have changed for the worse for the youth because he realized that the newcomer was walking towards Zidan.
"Are you all right?" Asked Cyra as she was completely ignoring the youth; even though Zidan looked normal on the surface, there was something definitely wrong with his head. He seemed like a different person from the time she last saw him. The old Zidan was timid but calm and rather weak. This one was malicious and enraged while being incredibly strong; yes, he had pills inside his body similarly to the youth, but it was absurd to see such a personality flip.
"Now with you here, I should be"
"What's go on?" Asked Cyra with a clearly puzzled look. Is it possible that he took pills during this fight and started losing his mind? This was the only thing that she could think of.
"Cyra, thank you, thank you for giving me this chance to take my revenge on Kyan for trying to take it from me. It's mine alone, and nobody can take it from me!" Screamed Zidan with rage...
"Take what?" Asked the now even more confused Cyra...
Before Cyra could react, Zidan took a black pill and directly drank water on it. His eyes turned bloodshot as he started walking towards the youth with heavy steps. The ground was constantly crushed as he was walking forward. He was like a beast which was about to explode from the endless furry and rage that drove him forward; even with all this pain, he kept eating Essence pills to temporarily heal his injuries and further feed the flame that has been ignited inside his body, his strength climbed all the way up to [Str: 3500]
He was the strongest thing that Cyra has ever seen so far, but because of the rage it vision became clouded, and its mind messy; he only saw the youth and nothing else.
The moment he finally reached the young man, Zidan Exile no longer resembled a young man. Instead, he looked like a thousand years old monster who had the strength to pinch anyone or anything to dust with its pure strength as he was about to attack he saw the trembling Cyra standing between him and the youth, he was looking at her with a questioning gaze, Cyra slapped him, with her palm as it has erupted with full force than strongly grabbed into his head and ripped it off without any issues, along the way the nearby mountain was shattered to bits by the sheer force that her slap caused, to her surprise the head was still alive after getting separated from the body, the pills kept him alive… all he could ask is why while looking at Cyra with tears in his eyes.
Even she didn't know why, at the moment, all she could feel is endless rage, her investment in Zidan was gone just like that; she tried so hard to help him during the Legacy, and now she saved his life, yet this moron decided to sacrifice his life to kill a no-name youth that she knew nothing about, weirdly after killing Zidan the trembling has stopped, at least for now.
"You, why did you helping me?" Asked Kyan with a puzzled gaze.
"I'm not... Sigh, I helped this guy during the last legacy, but he was already useless. I could use the people behind him when we were out of this place, but sadly he decided to kill himself right before me, such a waste of my precious time.. anyways, who are you?"
"Kyan Ulrik..." gulped down Kyan. He was clear about Zidan battle powers under the pills ignition. That's why he tried to avoid it at all costs because Zidan had a technique that could counter his Halo. He was wary when dealing with him. He was trained as a weapon to get rid of any obstacles before him, so he knew he could gain strength above [Str:3000] when he has ignited and started eating additional pills. What scared him to death was that even like that, he was slapped to death by the woman right in front of him.
"What was he talking about?"
"The Seal of the sect leaders."
"This?" Asked Cyra as she pulled out a crimson black seal from Zidan storage ring.
"Yes," Said Kyan as he performed a slight bow.
"What is this used for?" Asked Cyra eagerly.
"Sigh, after the legacy, there is a place called the undead Cathedral that only the sect leader inheritance discipline and the 4 vice-leaders inheritance discipline could enter."
"You surprisingly helpful, why is that?"
"Senior Sister is strong and mighty. I wouldn't dare to lie to you, I swear to my own life!"
"Senior Sister?" Asked care with a dumbfounded expression. Didn't the main sect look down on them? Where did this guy arrogance go? She couldn't understand anymore what's going on...
"I'm the first vice-sect leader inheritance discipline, so I should call you Senior Sister because of your the Sect leader inheritance discipline by seniority. If Senior Sister needs anything, I would be glad to help!"
"Wait, wait, when, and how did I become your senior sister?"
"You don't know?" Now it was Kyan turn to look surprised. He couldn't utter a word for minutes then said as realization struck him, - You were the one who killed him at his peak," Said Kyan as he pointed at Zidan headless body.
"Yeh, so what?"
"Well, the top 500 hundred necklaces is a bit different than the regular ones... in any case, he was trained since young with huge resources yet he died just like that, not even being able to exact his revenge, you as his killer has to take his place like it or not!" Said Kyan with an indifferent smile. He had no chance for it anymore... so he might as well teach her senior sister.
"Wait, shouldn't the sect leader seek revenge for his discipline?!" Asked Cyra with doubting what she just heard; back at earth, she read countless novels about such cultivation, but they seemed to be pointless so far...
At this, Kyan couldn't help but laugh - "Yeh right revenge for what? He was weak, so he died by your hands. Your strength is stronger, so you're worthy of taking his place! Do you seriously expect the sect leader to move a finger for worthless trash like that.. pffff Senior sister is great with jokes. The sect leader is the strongest expert in the sect with thousands of years of experience, there is no way he would move an inch for him, but on the other hand, we should expect a ceremony when we get back for you to accept him as a master."
