Ryu stood over the beaten armor of the Heaven's Warrior as it crumbled to ash. The dark gold flames had already disappeared into his body without a sound but he didn't feel as though it had caused any changes at all. Let alone him, even Ailsa didn't feel any changes immediately.
However, that didn't change the fact that Ryu felt better now than he had his entire life. He took deep, filling breaths as the smell of rain shifted from toxic to intoxicating. His body felt as light as a feather and his mind was open and free.
At that moment, several auras of World Sea Realm experts descended from all sides, but Ryu didn't panic. He could tell immediately that they were using their strength to reinforce the fluttering formations that were keeping what remained of his castle intact.
