Chapter 179 - Kicked Out Of Castle
While Qerin and Mike were fighting, Avelia survived inside the blood pool as her body shined and experienced the same thing as Qerin and Mike.
The Amarphy race women that appeared in this place at the same time as her also seem to have survived and she wasn't even that much harmed during her time in the blood pool. Talk about good luck.
After Avelia was finished with the process, she heard the voice and sat on the platform that appeared in her blood pool.
...
Athan and Tiana felt that this pathway was longer than usual, but they finally arrived at what seemed like heaven.
Both of them stopped before entering the ground as Athan frowned and said, " This place is fishy. "
From where they stood, They could see a beautiful palace, two ponds with lotus flowers, and colorful fishes swimming inside.
The gorgeous birds were singing with their unique sounds while flying around the exquisite trees.
" This is indeed fishy. What should we do? " Tiana asked as she also felt that this beautiful place looked fishy in this castle that promoted killings all the time.
Suddenly, They heard footsteps from behind them and turned around.
A dision race woman was coming from the same pathway.
Athan was confused about this since they were the only ones who entered this pathway because nobody in the previous place survived except them.
The dision race woman stopped and looked at Athan and Tiana with a wary expression. Seeing this, Athan smiled and gestured with his hand, " You can go ahead. "
The pathways were wide, and although the dision race woman heard Athan, She was still wary and stayed on guard while moving.
Athan and Tiana saw her pass by them and when she left the pathway and entered the heavenly place, they were startled.
Because that dision race woman disappeared after leaving the pathway and they couldn't see her anywhere in the heavenly place.
On the other hand, The dision woman turned around to look after entering the heavenly place and was shocked because the pathway disappeared.
...
Athan and Tiana heard more footsteps as they saw a Branzol race man coming in the pathway, and this man was also wary of Athan and Tiana and passed by them while being on guard, ready to strike if they did anything.
Though he sighed relief when he left the pathway, The same thing happened to him as the pathway behind him disappeared, and Athan and Tiana also failed to see him from the pathway.
More Interestingly, The Branzol race man and Dision race woman were no in the same heavenly place either.
Athan thought a few moments and said, " There's a chance that we'll be separated if we enter this place, So I'll send you inside the special space and get you out later. "
Tiana pouted and said, " Be sure to get me out as soon as you enter, okay? "
Athan promised her and sent her inside before walking forward and entering the so-called heavenly place where he didn't know what awaited them.
After he entered, He didn't see the two people who entered before and muttered, " As expected...Everyone entered a separate space after entering. "
He then brought Tiana out, but...
Right after she came out, she disappeared, and Athan couldn't connect to her using his soul technique.
*sigh*
Athan sighed as he expected that something like this might happen, ' Tiana...You better take of yourself. '
He believed in Tiana and started walking towards the palace because he didn't hear any voice.
The palace was not that big as it was only 50 meters in height, and its doors were just slightly smaller in height than the palace itself, which showed that the palace didn't have a second floor.
The doors opened automatically when he arrived in front of them, but he didn't enter directly and first observed the palace's interior.
The palace had ten stands in the middle that formed a circle. Each of these ten stands had an orb floating on top of it, and these orbs were shining in different colors.
As for other parts of the palace, there was nothing noteworthy except the artistic internal design of the palace.
" Still not any voice? " Athan murmured and took a step inside the palace.
*BOOM...*,,,*Kacha...*,,,*Smack...*
Nothing like that ^ happened.
But he was a bit startled because he heard the voice right after he entered the palace.
[ Congratulation! You are one of the lucky ones to have arrived in this rewarding place. ]
[ Stand in the middle of the circle surrounded by orbs for ten seconds, and you will receive one of the ten orbs as a reward. ]
Hearing his, He felt disbelief and muttered, " No way!! ". He can't believe that he would receive a reward without any trial or challenge.
Although he felt that there would be no free lunch, He still moved forward and stood in the middle since there was no other choice. Just like previous places, unless he finishes his business here, the pathway to exit won't open.
After he stood there, The orbs that were floating started to spin around with him as a center. They started to spin faster and faster as they created a whirlpool.
[ Say " Stop " in one minute. After saying that, one of the spinning orbs will be rewarded to you. ]
Athan was speechless and still didn't believe in this bull shit but he also didn't wait for one minute and directly spoke, " Stop. "
Right after that, One of the orbs shot out from the whirlpool and directly hit him on his forehead. But he didn't feel any pain as the orb entered inside him.
That orb was floating inside his Energy Realm.
[ After getting this reward, you cannot stay inside the castle anymore and will be kicked out in five seconds. ]
Athan was startled because he thought he could still stay here for 11 hours, but It was no longer possible from the current situation.
Five seconds were up, and he disappeared from the palace and arrived outside. He tried to sense Tiana but failed, " Looks like she is still inside. "
But he knew she would come out shortly, so he waited while thinking worriedly, ' I hope Avelia, Qerin, and Mike are safe. They still need to survive in the castle for 11 hours. '
He was worried because this castle was really too dangerous as the enemies were not mindless beasts but intelligent people from other races and the peculiar trials of the castle.
He then waited for a minute before he sensed that Tiana arrived outside. He used his soul technique and pulled her into the special space before he also went inside.
Chapter 180 - Two Mysterious Beings Eyeing The Planet Earth
Inside the special space, Athan and Tiana checked their gains and the orb they received as the last reward.
They also got information regarding it, so they roughly knew what it was.
Framework Art.
This thing was a method that people use in battle, just like magic and spells, but it was more related to the body than energy as it could also strengthen their body.
The orb they received was Framework Core. They need to feed primal energy to the core, which would produce unique energy and circulate this energy throughout their frame ( body ).
The circulations of this energy produced by Framework Core would strengthen their body and allow them to use the techniques of these Arts. But to use the techniques, They have to comprehend it first.
These so-called techniques mostly manifest on their body as an extension, and it is a painful process to completely refine their body using this energy and comprehending the techniques.
...
" The Framework Art I received is called Crimson Impaler. What about you? " Athan asked after he skimmed through the information he got.
Tiana was also done as she said, " Mine is called Everlasting Verdant. " She then sighed and said, " We are progressing very fast while receiving new things. "
Athan awkwardly smiled and said, " True. We have too many things to do now. " He then got an idea and said, " Let's make a to-do list when others exit the castle. We will then follow the to-do list so that we can properly progress and get strong. "
" To-do list..." Tiana murmured as she smiled and nodded, " This to-do list sounds nice, but you will likely be progressing faster than us. "
Hearing her, Athan remembers what Mimi said when he asked why her father choose his soul and couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating laugh.
" Why are you laughing? " Tiana asked curiously.
Athan shook his head and said with a smile, " Just thinking how I was unlucky before and lucky now. But I know that his luck won't last forever. "
Athan took out the Ark, and it was still the same with a building-like square on top of a Lotus platform. There were also holes on each side of the square building.
" Mimi, her parents, special space, and this Ark. I know that someday, I will find the mysteries regarding these things, and I don't even know what awaits me at that time. "
Hearing him, Tiana smiled and hugged him, " Don't worry. When that time comes, I'll be with you and face everything together with you. "
Athan hugged her tighter while thinking with sharp light in his eyes, ' I know I am lucky, and there could be anyone else in this place if not for a good coincidence. But I am not going to waste this second life and chance that I got. I will endure anything that comes to me just like I've been doing and face everything. I will survive and live this life to the fullest. '
He had not forgotten about his revenge, but on the grand scale of things which included the mystery regarding Ark, Mimi, and her parents, It seemed small. The one thing he was most worried about was his uncle and aunt.
' Sigh, It's been four years since I arrived in this world, and this Roumbra blood war will apparently take hundred years to finish. By the time I find the way back to Earth, They will be no longer alive. But I feel that I will eventually go back to Earth as my soul was picked up by Mimi's father because...Hypothetically, If Mimi's father got my soul, they were likely near-Earth or in the same universe as Earth if I believe that souls somehow stay in the same world after one dies. '
Suddenly, Tiana's voice sounded while he was in these thoughts.
" Athan...We can do it later but for now, Let's wait outside for Avelia and others to come out. "
Athan snapped out of his thoughts by hearing Tiana's voice. His hands had somehow traveled to her juicy butt, Which promoted Tiana to speak.
Athan smiled and grabbed her butt cheeks hard before releasing, " Of course I was not thinking about doing it now. I was just lost in thoughts, and my hands somehow moved there. "
Hearing him, Tiana speechlessly smiled and kissed him on the lips before saying, " Ohh really? Anyway, It's been a long as we were only focused on progressing and practicing, so...After Avelia comes back...hehe."
Athan grinned and said, " Hey, You're making me hard now. "
Tiana grabbed his dragon through pants and said with a smile, " Since that's the case, I'll give you a quickie with my mouth. "
Athan teleported inside their house as Tiana removed his pants before she put his dragon in her mouth.
" Wait...I'll feel bad if only I am satisfied after such a long time. " Athan grinned and said as he pulled Tiana up from her kneeling position and turned her upside-down before he laid on the bed.
He then pulled up her long dress and saw her juicy and wet spot and grinned before he put his whole tongue inside and used vibrating intent and pleasure intent as his tongue explored the insides.
" Aaaaaahhh.....You naughty, I'll also get serious. The one who come first is the loser. " Saying this, Tiana also used various intents to make her mouth soft and pleasurable.
They didn't spend much time playing like this as they were still worried about Avelia, Qerin, and Mike. So after thirty minutes, They left the special space and waited outside.
...
One of the lower axiom universe, planet earth.
Lower axiom universes are those that had close to nil spiritual development regarding supernatural powers.
In the first place, Universes are never visited by powerful beings even if they can do it because there are no benefits in them doing so. It doesn't matter if they lower axiom universe or higher axiom universes.
The powerful beings mentioned here are those, Who was strong enough to leave the universe they were born into.
To be capable of " leaving/exiting " their universe is the mark of a powerful being, but their journey does not end here.
After leaving their " Universe ", They arrive at a vaster world.
Chaosverse. The birthplace of universes.
Chaosverse gives birth to universes, and the beings who exit their universe arrive at this vaster and dangerous world, Chaosverse.
...
Planet Earth, The home planet of Athan in this lower axiom universe.
In this blanket space of the universe, Two beings appeared.
These beings were...humans, but they were suspended in space as they eyed Earth.
One man and one woman looked to be in their thirties with handsome and beautiful appearances and wore fancy dresses with exquisite designs.
" Serina, The trail we caught is pointing at that planet. "
The girl who wore a long, light purple dress with shining diamond-like materials spoke with irritation, " I can see that idiot, but this is not going to help us find the Ark of Exordium and those two Ryecaxians. "
The man still had calmness on his face despite being called idiot as he spoke with a gleam in his eyes, " Since that little soul received Ark of Exordium from that hateful Ryecax couple, He will surely be able to...at least arrive in the Chaosverse, and...." pausing here, A grin formed on his face as he continued, " He might even want to visit his old home. "
The girl's mood somewhat lifted, but she still didn't think much of this and said, " Alright, Send some servants and keep an eye out on his planet. Tell them that they can play here to alleviate their boredom while waiting. "
She then waved her left hand in front of her, which conjured a rectangle mirror.
Before going inside, she looked at the man with a sickening face and said, " I can't stay here or in the shitty Chaosverse anymore. Arrange things here however you like and when you are done arranging things here, come to the Paragon Realm because I want to cut that devil's head...This time definitely. "
She then directly entered the mirror, leaving the man behind, who revealed a scared expression, ' Damn...When will she forget about that devil? Sigh. I really don't want to go there. '
He then opened a portal and left as he arrived at Dun Breyas Region in the Chaosverse.
There was a vast palace made from sparkling sands and colorful crystals in this Dun Breyas region.
The man arrived in front of the palace before creating a black hole and putting his hand inside.
Meanwhile, A man with a thick beard was sitting on the throne inside the Palace as he enjoyed the comfort of two beauties. One of them was feeding him while another beauty was massaging him.
But suddenly, A black hole materialized in front of his face, and a hand came out that grabbed his neck and pulled him inside.
He was scared out of his wits because all of his powers were sealed, and he couldn't resist at all as he was sucked inside and appeared in front of the man.
Seeing him, He directly kneeled and said with a happy expression, " Master! "
Internally, He thought, ' Looks like Master Kitnon finally came back to Chaosverse. Hehehe, now I can do some work and earn rewards. '
Chapter 181 - Time Up
" Master Kitnon, What work do you have for this humble servant? " The bearded man said to Kitnon while kneeling.
Kitnon had no expression on his face as he just spoke plainly, " Derber, I have a task for you. This task will last for an unknown time, but if you follow through with it, I will...take you as my official servant. "
Hearing this, Derber was so excited that he wanted to shout out, but he suppressed it and said with a red face and resolute voice, " No matter how much time it takes. I will follow through Master's task at all costs!! "
Although he became a servant of this man who seemingly looked in his thirties 10 years ago, He was devoted to him like the most loyal dog. He didn't know the background of his master, but he knew that he came from a very mysterious and powerful place. The reward he gave out were things that he could only dream of.
It's been five thousand years since he was lording over this region in Chaosverse, and although there are many powerful beings here, Who are even more powerful than him, He still felt that his Master was by far the most powerful being he had seen.
And this time's reward made him most excited because being an official servant of his master means he could go and serve his master...Whenever he went. At least, This is what he hoped for.
" Your task is to live on a planet in a lower axiom universe. You can bring your people there if you want and enjoy life with mortals but don't do any collateral damage there and just observe the whole planet and its surrounding regions carefully; if you see anyone coming from outer space, then directly inform me. "
" Yes, Master. I will never slack off in doing this task. But...Master, how should I contact you? "
Derber didn't protest or felt displeased even though staying in universes; heck, A lower axiom universe at that was really useless to him. Still, No matter how shitty tasks he gets from his master, He would complete them by giving his all.
Kitnon pointed his finger towards Derber before saying, " You can contact me by activating this Comm-Jigen spirit. " As soon as he finished speaking, A white light released from his index finger and entered into the forehead of Derber.
Derber was dazed for a moment before he spoke in a serious voice, " Rest assured, master, As soon as I get wind of even outer space mosquitoes, I will be sure to inform you. "
Kitnon was speechless hearing him and said with a frown, " You don't have to inform me of mosquitoes. Just look out for humanoid beings. "
Derber was embarrassed but didn't say anything as he thought, ' I was just showing my devotion to you. Of course, I wouldn't inform you of outer space mosquitoes. Wait...are there even outer space mosquitoes in the first place? '
Afterward, Kitnon showed the coordinates and path of the lower axion universe and the position of planet Earth to Derber.
After arranging this, Kitnon also disappeared into a mirror while muttering with a helpless face, " I really don't want to face that devil, sigh..."
Derber already knew the location, so he returned to Dun Breyas, where his palace was situated, and took three of his subordinates to Athan's home planet, Earth.
What will happen to the normal people of Earth when a powerful being like Derber stays there? Will he just silently live there or transform the Earth into his playground while following his master's order?
...
After Athan and Tiana came out from the special space, They tried to enter the castle again, and they could even go past the caste's gate, but instead of going inside the castle, They would be teleported outside.
So they just waited outside, and it's already been close to 11 hours. Hopefully, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike would come out soon.
Tiana had a worried expression as she said, " Athan...What if something- "
" Say no more. They will be fine. " Athan spoke with a steeled expression. He believed that they would be fine even if they run out of their geno energy, They could also use their geno art without cost, and they could also choose to hide in pathways and move cautiously.
Time passed slowly as they anxiously waited. Thirty minutes seemed like longer than the past 11 hours.
Tiana grabbed Athan's hand tightly as she closed her eyes. Athan couldn't use his soul technique because even though he used it on them before entering the castle, Its duration was over just two hours ago.
' Please come back safely. ' Athan and Tiana were thinking the same thing.
The time was up after a few seconds. They saw people appearing out of nowhere as they exited the castle. Many of them also disappeared right after coming out as they went towards the above layer of this Roumbra blood war dimension because they broke through to the Spirit Astride plane inside the castle.
Athan and Tiana started to look out for them as Athan shouted in a loud voice, " AVELIA, MIKE, QERIN!! "
His loud voice attracted many, but most of them didn't bother as they were too excited to digest the rewards they received from the castle.
But it seems someone was displeased with Athan's loud shout.
" Hey, you scummy human. Stop being so loud here. It's not your father's playground. " A Grakil race man snorted and said as he looked at Athan with displeasure.
Athan didn't want to bother himself with this person as he just wanted to find Avelia and others hurriedly, so he just coldly looked at him and said two words.
" Fuck off!! "
The Grakil race man's face turned ugly because he always thought that others races besides the five great races were inferior, and seeing Athan disregarding him like this, He felt bad. " Humph, A mere- "
" BROOO!! "
" ATHAN..."
The grakil race man shut his mouth as he saw three more humans approaching Athan and Tiana and scurried away while thinking, ' Damm it. I might be able to face two of them, but definitely not five. Fucking lucky bastard. '
The Grakil race man ran away as he cursed internally about Athan being lucky. Though in reality, he was the lucky one.
Athan wasn't even paying attention to that Grakil race man after telling him off, but right after that, he saw Avelia, Mike, and Qerin coming towards him as they were attracted by his shout and felt very glad as he smiled.
" Hahaha, We are all safe and sound. Good. " Athan laughed and said as he just took all of them inside the special space.
The ones outside were surprised to see all of them disappear, but it was not an uncommon sight here, and they didn't bother to pay detailed attention because they were also busy staying on guard and finding a place to digest their rewards.
Chapter 182 - Time To Train
After taking everyone inside the special space, Athan first announced that they would have a meeting on how to move from now on and discuss the new rewards they received inside the Ifrit Dandraid Castle.
Sitting around the table, Athan said, " We have progressed very fast last two years and received many things. So, we will have to make a small plan on how to progress. "
Everyone nodded as Athan continued, " Our main method of fighting will be our Plane powers, Magic and Framework Art. First, We'll report what each of us got in the castle and what other things we possess. I'll start first. "
Athan waved his right hand as he used his genesis energy to create a tablet and wrote things about him on it.

Everyone looked at the two tablets of Athan and Tiana.
Athan pointed at the tablets and said, " As you can see, Tiana and I got the opportunity to ascend the plane, so we are already in the Ruler Plane. " He then paused and said with a smile, " But it seems that you three also got the same kind of reward.
Anyway, from the Magic, I can use both magic completely due to the Unima core while I have not started practicing my Framework Art. So, we will stop our progress in the Ruler plane for now and focus on increasing our combat power by comprehending the Magic and Framework Art first."
Tiana nodded in agreement with Athan.
Mike raised his hand and said with a grin, " Actually, Sister Avelia, Qerin, and I entered a strange place filled with Blood pools of different colors, and we were kind of forced to bathe in them. I even almost died. "
Athan and Tiana were speechless at how casually Mike said that.
Seeing this, Mike grinned and said, " Don't worry, Bro. I have become a lot stronger, both physically and mentally, due to that experience. Anyway, The blood pools were really nightmarish, but it also helped us completely master a Framework Art. After that, We three moved together and fought in several places, Sister Avelia was already in the Ruler plane when she met with us, and after winning in two more places, Qerin and I also reached the Ruler plane and we also got complete magic series rewards later. "
Athan and Tiana were surprised as Avelia and Qerin nodded in agreement.
Avelia chuckled and said, " Yep. We could stay safe until the end was because Mike and Qerin met up, and then I also met up with them at the strange place filled with blood pools. Anyway, I'll show my status now. "

After she created her tablet, Avelia said, " The magic seems to be a thing of this Roumbra Blood war because I can feel even higher power than Ruler power from it. The Powerhouse in our human plane does have magic spells, but they are definitely not like the ones we have received.
Our peak-level powerhouses mostly use the magic spells and techniques they comprehended. But now that our human race has participated in this Roumbra blood war, Our strength will rise extensionally. "
Athan and nodded and said with a thoughtful expression, " I also feel that the magic we got is not just simple. Anyway, We will know about that when we ascend to higher planes and explore more about it. "
" Aye, It's my turn now. "
Mike waved his hand as he also started to create his tablet.

Athan stood up and went towards the tree before plucking out Unima fruits and returned before he said, " Alright, We will add more details to our tablets later, but for now, Let's focus on what to do with ourselves. Among us, Only I have Unima core, and it helped me comprehend the Magic. "
Others nodded and smiled because...They can also get unima core now.
" Now eat them and get unima core since your souls must be past 50 meters already. " Athan gave them fruits and said.
After ascending to the Ruler plane, Their soul strength got a massive boost as each of their soul body increased by thirty meters.
Previously, Everyone already had thirty-plus meter soul bodies, so after ascending to the Ruler Plane; It went past sixty meters.
Everyone ate the unima fruits as their soul energy and prima energy started to converge. Their Primal core directly disintegrated due to the fruit's energy as the process of Unima core-forming started.
Chapter 183 - Taking A Break, Breaking A Bed
After everyone formed the Unima core in their energy realm, The Magic cores that were orbiting started to absorb energy from the unima core like crazy for a few minutes before releasing their unique energy called magic energy that surrounded their magic core.
Now when they used their magic, They would consume the magic energy that surrounded their magic core.
After this process was done, Athan said, " Since I have unlimited energy from the Ark, I don't know the specifics about the consumption of magic spells and the recovery rate of magic energy that surrounds my magic core. So we'll test that for you and also see all of your magic spells. "
Tiana nodded and smiled before saying, " My bane magic core looks like dark orange, and it also has dark orange energy surrounding it. I can also feel rule power and other high-level power which I can't understand when I sense my magic core deeply. "
" Yep. You can comprehend a Rule power from your magic core, and that Rule power will complement the magic we use, making it more powerful. "
Athan said as he pointed his finger up, which conjured a drop of blood on it, " The Rule power I comprehended from the magic core of Blood Magic of Versatile Covenant is Rule of Flexile Blood. "
Pausing here, Athan used his Rule power as the drop of blood float to his side. After that, Athan consumed his primal energy and genesis energy ( Not magic energy ) as the drop of blood suddenly expanded and turned into the exact copy of himself.
" This Rule power is flexible, just as its name suggests. The rule behind it is that as long as I have enough primal energy and genesis energy, I can make anything out of it. This rule is not offensive or defensive, or anything like that, as it's an all-rounder rule, and how I make use of it depends on my ability. "
Athan then dissipated the blood clone he created and said, " I comprehended this rule due to an epiphany when I received this magic, and since you all also have a magic core, You can slowly comprehend a rule from it. I believe even if two people received the same type of magic, The rule they can comprehend from it would be different.
But we can't use the full power of our complete rule now since we have yet to take the first step of progress in the Ruler plane. Though there is one benefit of having complete Rule power right now, it can boost our magic strength since they are the same element. Still, this single benefit is already powerful because these magics are...more powerful than Rule domains that we'll have to build later while progressing in the Ruler plane. "
So right now, All of you should focus on comprehending a Rule power first as It will also make our progress in the Ruler plane easier later. "
"Cough...Bro. We will do that later. For now, Let's take some break because we've constantly been working since we started filling up our second branch of the genome tree. "
Mike coughed and revealed a tired face while speaking.
...
...
...
" Aaaahhhh...."
" Aaahh...More more. "
" No...Don't vibrate it...Aaaaaahhhhh..."
*Kacha...*
" Hahaha, Athan. You broke the bed. " Avelia laughed and said as she saw Athan breaking the bad while staying on top of Tiana. Avelia's flawless body with white skin and perfect melons jiggled as she laughed.
Athan grinned at Avelia as he got himself off from Tiana. He then walked towards Avelia, grabbed her tight a-s before pushing her at the wall, and started sucking her tits.
His dragon also entered her pink slit as she let out a passionate moan.
" Ahhh...Ahh...Aaahh...Hey Athan, Do you want to break the wall now? " Avelia grinned and said.
" You're becoming naughty. " Athan said before sealing her mouth with his as his tongue entered her mouth.
He also increased his thrust and vibrated his dragon as Avelia felt intense pleasure from it and directly orgasmed as her eyes rolled backward, " Aaahhhh, I am in heaven."
*Moan....*
Athan also released his load, and white gold energy started to produce. He then put Avelia on the bed beside Tiana, " Hehe, We have to work hard to make white gold energy. "
Saying this, He thrust his thick meat-rod inside Tiana's pink hole as he once again changed the size of his meat-rod to make it perfect for Tiana.
" Aahhh...A-Athan...I am so happy. " Tiana felt through fulfillment from Athan's dragon hitting her deepest part and sending jolts of pleasure to her entire body and mind.
Tiana's big melons were jumping around with each thrust. Seeing this, Athan grabbed them with his hands and caressed them while playing with her pink erect nipples.
Tiana felt double pleasure as Athan started vibrating his hands while making them cold, and it super turned her on, " Aaaahhh...I can't...Aaaaahhhhh..."
Avelia also recovered shortly, and she sat down on top of Tiana's belly and between Athan's hands. She then crossed her arms below her boobs, " hehe, You can use your mouth here. "
Athan looked at the juicy tits and directly started sucking on them one by one while moving his hips and hands for Tiana.
Tiana had an ecstatic expression on her face enjoying the pounding and orgasm as her whole body trembled in pleasure.
*Moan....*
After a while, He took his wet meat road out and pulled Avelia up before putting his straight and thick meat-rode inside her wet and pink cave.
" Aahh...Yess...."
Avelia had a blissful face as she linked her arms around Athan's neck and kissed him. Athan used his hands to move her up and down while also subtly moving his hips to achieve the greatest effect as he sent Avelia into heaven.
...
Avelia and Tiana almost fainted from the pleasure as they felt so good.
They used various intents and positions and enjoyed for two whole days.
Right now, All three of them were sleeping on the bed with Athan's hands massaged Tiana and Avelia's soft meat buns.
Chapter 184 - Wonderful Timing
Athan and others were outside of the special space as Tiana seemed to be using her magic.
" Star Flame's Calamity Cannon...." Tianna spoke as a huge dark orange whirling cannon appeared in front of her and released a terrifying energy shot that got bigger as it released from the cannon.
*BOOOM*
" Crap..."
" Crap..."
Both and Athan and Mike's jaw dropped as they saw the dark orange energy cannon shot, destroying everything in its path.
Avelia and Qerin were also tongue-tied as Avelia said, " This...is really too powerful. The energy it released is dense and palpitating with destruction. You pulled out a big gun after that tricky spell, huh. "
Previously, Tiana used a different magic spell that looked like dreadful chains, but she didn't use it on them as the chains were really dangerous. She knew the effects of that spell, so even though Athan suggested that he would be willing to test it, She rejected it firmly.
After all, The magic spell had the name, Tormenting Dire Chains, And it could really torment the target.
Tiana said after she checked her consumption, " Hmmm...Using Star Flame's Calamity Cannon took 20% of my magic energy. To refill this much, It will take around 30% of my unima core's primal energy. So that's approx 30 minutes. "
After that, She proceeded with her last magic spell, Bane Zone of Star Flames. She focused in the front, About 20 meters away, and a zone was produced that was filled with sparking dark orange stars that were giving off terrifying energy.
" This zone has powerful heat as it can even melt tough bones of powerful beasts, but the most dreadful part of this magic spell are those dark orange stars. " Tiana explained and paused for a second as she looked at Athan and said with a smile, " Throw something inside. "
Athan was looking at the zone with narrowed eyes, and instead of throwing something, He used his Blood magic and entered inside.
" Athan, NO! " Tiana panicked, but Athan said while waving his left hand, " Don't worry, Nothing will happen to me. "
Athan moved, and just as he put his step inside, He felt terrifying heat, but it couldn't harm or melt the blood armor on his whole body.
But In the next second, The nearest star to him exploded and released a powerful energy blast that increased the heat surrounding him by many folds as he felt very uncomfortable due to the heat. But that was not all to the star that exploded because a condensed ray released from it and went towards Athan at super fast speed.
Athan didn't expect this, but he could still instantly create a blood shield in front of him that was part of his armor. The ray was very powerful, and it actually started to melt and penetrated the shield, but Athan had Rule power of Flexile Blood, and he also used more magic energy to strengthen the shield, which prevented the ray from hitting him.
He then didn't proceed further and said after he removed his Blood magic armor and wiping the sweat on his face, " Phew...So all three of your magic spells are fully offensive. "
Athan was slightly shocked at the power of this Bane Zone of Star Flames. He had rule power to support his magic, but he felt that this magic of Tiana was more powerful than blood magic in the offensive aspect.
He knew that Tiana can control other stars inside the zone and if she did that...Athan shook his head and smiled wryly.
The only advantage he had over others was that he had an unlimited energy supply of Primal energy and Genesis energy from Ark. He knew there should be more uses of the Ark, but he couldn't find them with his current Ability.
Plane-wise, Everyone was similar, Body strength-wise, They all had caught up to him. Actually, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike had stronger physical power than him since they had mastered their Framework Arts.
Other things he was better at were his comprehension ability and his other personal aspects about endurance and strong will.
[ A/N: if you somehow feel that Athan is not OP Or feeling bad reading the above paragraphs then I want to say one thing: Athan will be the most unique existence and he will achieve this feat on his own. ]
" So how much magic energy this cost? " Athan asked Tiana after coming back.
Tiana smiled wryly and said, " This magic spell took all of my remaining magic energy because I didn't control it. I guess I can control it a bit, but it will still take a minimum of 50% of my total magic energy. "
" What is the range at which you can produce this zone? "
" 50 meters away at best. "
Athan had a thoughtful expression as he said, " Hmmm...Then you can only use this magic as the trump card. Also, It's a bit of a con of this magic that it doesn't have any defensive magic spell. "
Tiana also nodded as she agreed with Athan. Her Bane magic of Star Flame was truly fully offensive magic as all of its attributes and effects were related to the offense, which was both good and bad.
Good because since her magic is fully offensive, She could likely kill her enemies and more than one at that faster, and Bad because she doesn't have any other means to defend against other magic users as none of her other powers could defend against them...Except for her genome power.
Tiana then turned to Avelia and said with a smile, " It's your turn now. "
Avelia beamed hearing that and said, " Alright. My magic is also very impressive. First, It's called Ice Magic of Regen Frost and.... "
Avelia then stopped speaking and waved her left hand forward in style, " This is my first magic spell, Blanket of Frost Flowers. "
Ten gorgeous frost flowers appeared in front of the place where she waved her hands and said as she put both her hands at her waist while smiling, " Aren't they beautiful?... Well, As beautiful as they are, They also have powerful effects. "
She turned to Mike and said with a grin, " Why don't you try it, Mike? "
Mike smirked and said, " Heh. I'll..." He paused for a bit before continuing, "...pass. "
Athan and others almost fell to the ground hearing him and felt speechless.
Seeing this, Mike embarrassedly scratched his head and said, " Hey, You all don't have to react that way. Why don't we try it on them? "
They looked in the direction pointed by Mike and saw a group of beings coming towards them. They were a total of eight people of different races.
Mike also just saw them after he smirked. He was going to take on the magic spell of Avelia, but He changed his words seeing the group of people coming at that exact time; He changed his words because they all don't have unlimited energy like Athan, and they should use their magic energy on enemies and try their new magic spells since they are coming towards them to be their experiment pigs.
Athan and others also sensed them as Athan smiled and said, " Wonderful timing. They are also coming with bad intentions, it seems. "
Chapter 185 - Damn You, Drefuon!
Avelia had an excited face as she said, " Let's all attack together. They wouldn't expect us have mastered our Magic this fast. Hehe, I'll go first with my large-scale magic. "
" Good idea. They don't have Unima core like us, so they would still need to comprehend the magic from the magic core themselves. " Athan nodded as he used all magic spells of his blood magic.
Athan and others waited for them to come a bit close, but they were the first ones to attack as right when they were 200 meters apart, four colorful lasers shoot towards them in a straight line.
" Ultimate Bulwark "
Mike snorted, seeing this as he put both of these forward, and a shield appeared in front of them that was dark brown with a grey sheen on it as it covered everything in front of them. He used the conceptualized power of his altar spirit: Aegisron, which had the highest defensive attributes from his domain.
The shield easily blocked the lasers as there was no need to use high-level powers like genome skills or magic to block the normal attacks from the enemy.
Seeing that they attacked first, Avelia snorted and said, " Sister Qerin, Support my magic with your genome power and get it to their location. "
Avelia consumed all of her magic energy and even dissipated her Blanket of Frost Flowers as she waved both of her hands and focused in the front as if she was creating something.
A giant ice blue blob with eccentric movement and design inside it materialized just 30 meters in front as Avelia said, " Sister Qerin, NOW! " Avelia could barely suppress it, but Qerin did her work beautifully as she used her genome art, Fetterless Horizons.
Right after that, Avelia shouted, " Arctic Forest of Regenic Frost. "
The eight people that consist of four Grakil race and four Dision race members, stopped in their tracks as they sensed a threat, but before they could do anything, they saw wide icy blue sparks appearing around them like a tsunami.
*Shuaaaaaa.....*
A 100 square meter frost forest appeared with them as a center, and they started to freeze. The nearby icy trees and plants were constantly reducing in size as they continuously released the frost power that froze them.
" Wh-what the hell is this power? One of them has already comprehended the highest magic spell already? How is that possible? "
One Dision race man spoke as his body was freezing.
Others were also dumbfounded, but their speed slowed down considerably, and they couldn't even teleport while in this Arctic forest. Just when they destroy the frost on their body, new ones would be produced, freezing them.
On the other hand, Qerin and Mike dashed forward instantly and used their magic.
" Pen-Impen Steel Fortress! "
Mike laughed and said as a fortress materialized that was 10 meters tall and 30 meters wide.
The fortress didn't have a complex design, but it had many small holes all over its rectangle structure.
Mike stood on the fortress and moved forward while Qerin stopped the magic spell she was casting, seeing Mike, and instead used another magic spell, " Sand Kingdom Soldiers. Imperial Lancers, Imperial Blasters. "
Six humanoid soldiers conjured with solid dark brown sand armor, but three of them had sharp and point-long hands like lances while the other three soldiers had pipe-like hands.
The soldiers with lance hands dashed forward and targetted the three dision race members and attacked them.
Those eight beings used all of their power as they burst out from their frozen state, but their speed was still slow.
At this time, Mike arrived with his Steel Fortress, and it released countless small steel shards from the small holes that were in the front.
" FUCK!! Everyone, use all of your defensive Rule power, and if you got a defensive Rule domain, then condense it. I will use a Dark Fusion item that I got and merge them. "
The eight beings were caught off guard with this attack as they barely released their Defensive Rule powers, and two of them who had defensive Rule domain hurriedly condensed it before the woman of Grakil race who spoke took out a dark square with a white orb inside it and activated it.
The cube shined as it sucked all of their released defensive rule power and condensed rule domains before a solid square materialized around them.
The steel shards failed to break the cubic barrier, and the begins inside them finally sighed relief.
" Fuck it!! It looks like we hit the steel plate this time. Damn you, Drefuon. You were the one who found them, and it was your idea to hunt them. FUCK! You should have at least observed them longer to assess their strength. "
The Grakil race woman who took out the cube spoke to another Grakil race man with an angry face.
Drefuon had lowered his head, and his face was ugly.
These eight beings were hunting others who were alone or in small number than them, and when Drefuon saw Athan and others with his Rule power that could make him observe faraway places, He told his group to target them.
Drefuon looked up and said with an ugly and irritating face, " You all also felt that humans were weak and agreed to hunt them. Could you not put all the blame on me? "
" Stop Fighting! This cubic barrier will not last long. We have to work together and think about escaping because we are clearly no match for them. Among those damn humans, Three of them already showed powerful Magic spells, While we haven't even been able to comprehend a single spell from the magic we received. "
A Dision race interrupted their useless farce in this dire situation and said.
Everyone saw that Imperial lancers were dealing considerable damage while the imperial blasters were shooting powerful condense sand shots from their hands.
Each time a sand shot hit the barrier, It would spread and deal burst damage while the lancers were concentrating in place with their heavy and powerful lance hands that shook the whole cubic barrier.
Athan, Tiana, and Avelia were ready to attack, but Mike stopped them and said, " Let me try to break the cubic barrier. "
He then stretched both of his hands forward as muttered, " Spiral Steel Drill."
Two spiraling drills materialized as they started spinning and shot towards the cubic barrier as Mike consumed all of his magic energy.
*Drrrriiiiiiii.....*, *Drrrriiiiiiii.....*,
Cracks started to spread on the cubic barrier as the people inside panicked.
" Get ready with your full power, and as soon as the cubic barrier breaks, attack them with all your strength. "
" What the hell Terxion.....You said that we have to escape, and now you are telling us to attack? "
Chapter 186 - Escaped?
The Dision race man, Terxion, frowned and said, " I will use my teleportation treasure which I brought from crown prince Delga. It can teleport us instantly. "
*Crack....*
The cracks spread even more on the cubic barrier from all the attacks it was receiving. Mike's Steel Fortress ran out of energy, so it stopped shooting steel shards and dissipated while his spiraling drills also ran out of energy attacking the barrier.
But they were very effective as the barrier seemed like it would break soon. Though, Qerin's Imperial Blasters also ran out of energy as they started punching the barrier with their robust standing structure. Imperial Lancers didn't consume energy as they physically attacked with their Lancer hands, which doesn't consume energy like the Blasters who release shot-blasts from their hands.
Qerin decided to deal the finishing blow to the cubic barrier as she used one more magic spell, " Earth Shattering Dust Crusher. "
Five spinning light brown cones appeared that were connected to each other with sparky light energy and on top of spinning individually; the group of five also started circulating as they shot towards the cubic barrier.
Seeing this attack, Terxion frowned and said, " Be prepared. This attack will definitely break the barrier in an instant while still retaining some of its energy, so Retonel and Ganbier will attack towards this magic spell while others aim their attack towards other humans. "
Others nodded as they were prepared. They saw the magic spell of Qerin entirely crushing the cubic barrier just when it hit the barrier.
As planned, Retonel and Ganbier attacked the magic spell of Qerin while others threw their condensed domain power or other powerful attacks towards Mike, Qerin, Athan, Avelia, and Tiana, who were all standing on the steel fortress of Mike.
Seeing this, Athan said, " Defend yourself with the domain power. Your primal energies are also more powerful now due to the Unima core, so you can definitely block their attacks. "
He wasn't going to leave everything to them as before going to attack then, He consumed lots of his primal energy and created defensive lotus flowers in front of them with his domain power.
Tiana and others also used their domain and conjured the defensive moves from their domain power.
While Tiana, Avelia, Mike, and Qerin conjured defensive moves from their domain power, Athan dashed towards them while using his magical spells at full power.
Flapping his wings, He instantly appeared on top of them before three blood lasers shot out from the three orbs that floated around him towards Terxion and others.
Blood Magic: Demolition Covenant.
Terxion smirked as right before the laser reached them, They all disappeared.
*BOOOM.....*
The lasers hit the icy crust beneath, which was Avelia's Arctic forest of Regenian Forest, which was already on the verge of dissipating as it was running out of energy.
" They escaped? " Mike and others arrived after they successfully defended themselves from the attacks.
Athan nodded with a wry smile, " They used a powerful spatial item to escape, it seems. "
" Let's hope we meet them again. "
" Yep, They must be hunting others with their group and thought that we are easy targets. Humph. "
...
Afterward, Athan took others inside the special space as they recovered their energy and continued with their magic testing.
Avelia's Blanket of Frost Flowers had a potent effect, as she said. When they hit someone, They would be stuck to them and started to freeze the target by releasing potent freezing power. If the target destroyed the flower, new smaller flowers would be produced and explode with remaining energy, and turned their energy system and body internally very slow.
" And this is my third and last magic spell from Ice magic of regen frost, Infinite Ice Floe Armor. "
Avelia spoke as beautiful armor appeared that covered her entire body. She removed the helmet on her head and said with a smile, " This armor will automatically and instantly recover as long as I have enough magic energy after I am attacked, and with each attack I receive, It can release a freezing wave towards the opponent. "
Afterward, Mike also showed his remaining magic spells besides the Pen-Impen Steel Fortress.
But unlike Tiana and Avelia, He had four spells, just like Athan.
" Steel Skewer Barrier. This barrier has high defensive power, and as for its other effects...Bro, Why don't you attack it? " Mike grinned as he said.
" Alright. " Athan nodded as he shot the lasers from his Blood Magic: Demolition Covenant.
*ZeeeeeeeeP*
*BOOOOM*
The lasers hit the barrier, and it actually withstood the attack with only a single and small crack appearing.
But the shocking thing was that right after the laser hit the barrier, It released two sharp and powerful skewer towards Athan.
*Than! Than! *
Athan blocked them with his blood armor, but it still bore two holes that needed to be filled up afterward.
" Hehe, I can release more skewers, but that's it for my defensive spell. Now my fourth and last spell, Absolute Piercing Needles. " Mike conjured a basketball-size orb as it floated.
Others were a bit confused as Athan asked, " Where are the Needles? "
Mike grinned and said to Qerin, " Can you use the last spell? I remember you told me it's a defensive spell. "
Qerin nodded as she used her third and last spell from Earth magic of Sand Kingdom, " Great Earth Shield. "
A giant light brown shield appeared that had various dark brown patterns on it. Athan and others went behind the shield and then looked at the orb.
After that, Mike snapped his finger as small and but shining steel needles shot out from the orb in all directions.
But the needles failed to penetrate the Great Earth Shield fully as those needles stuck on the shield. Seeing this, Qerin smiled as the shield started to shine and the needles that were embedded on the shield were thrown back.
The orb ran out of energy after throwing needles for a minute as a rueful expression appeared on Mike as he said to Qerin, " Damn, The name of the magic spells looks like a joke now. Rain piercing needles, but they failed to pierce your shield fully. "
Qerin chuckled and said, " Nope, They failed even to scratch my shield. The reason they were embedded on the shield was that I allowed it. Great Earth Shield is a fully defensive spell, and It can even withstand your Absolute Spiral Drills. The shield consumes a minimum of 25% of my magic energy which is even higher than Tiana's star flame's calamity cannon. "
Everyone was impressed as they looked at the shield was giving off shines from patterns.
" Hey, this coincidence is rather interesting. Bro and I got Magic which had four magic spells in it, while you three got magic that contains three spells. "
Qerin beamed and said, " I think my spell, Sand Kingdom Soldiers, can be considered two spells because I can conjure two types of Soldiers from it, and it depends on me which ones I want to conjure. "
At this time, Tiana said a rather crucial thing, " Our magic spells are powerful and all, and we can definitely survive individually in this place now, but...The consumption of magic is rather high. If we use each of our spells one time, We will run of magic energy, and It became apparent when we fought the enemies today. "
Athan nodded and said, " Indeed, You can at most use two rounds of your magic spells. Suppose you have 100% magic energy and 100% primal energy and the rough conversation from primal energy to magic energy is 75%. So if you use 100% of your magic energy, It will be filled up to 75% in a few seconds after consuming all of your primal energy. "
Hearing this, Tiana analyzed, "Then we will run out of our primal energy, and it will take us one hour and forty minutes to completely recover our primal energy if we are outside. However, we can recover it in a few seconds if we are inside the special space. But...The place we are currently at, we are bound to separate many times. If we can somehow increase the capacity of the magic energy that surrounds our magic core...."
Athan shook his head and said, " We can't increase the capacity of our magic energy. But I think it's only for now. The magic core still has superior power that we are unaware of, and we will find it out as we progress in the future. "
Avelia nodded and said, " Yep, It will likely happen when we are able to sense the laws because...I believe that the higher power we sense from magic is likely related to law power."
Athan, Tiana, and Mike revealed a confused expression. They found out about the previous planes from Avelia too, so they asked her.
Qerin, on the other hand, was not confused as she already knew about all of the planes and their details. Right now, She had hesitation on her face because she wanted to tell them that her memories are back and she remembers who she is.
After a moment, Her eyes turned resolutely as she thought, ' I will tell them about it right now. The longer I am holding onto this, The more I feel bad. It's better to tell them the truth. '
Chapter 187 - Qerin's Origin
" Mike, Everyone...I want to say something. "
Hearing the nervous voice of Qerin, Everyone looked at her.
Qerin's hands were balled in nervousness as she spoke, " Um..I-I actually recovered my memories when I fainted But...at that time, I was not ready to say anything because I...I am not from this world."
Hearing this, All of them were shocked, and Mike asked confusedly, " What do you mean by not from this world? "
Qerin nodded as she took a deep breath before saying, " I am from a higher world than universes, known as Chaosverse. Our clan was sneak attacked by two other clans in the Clear Lake region of the Chaosverse. Hence, my father had to open a dimensional portal to send me away hurriedly, but at the last moment, The dimension portal was attacked. My protective amulet was used up, and my Chaotic spirit died to save my life, and instead of the intended place, I arrived in this universe, exactly at the place where Mike found me first. "
Athan and others were even more shocked to hear about this information as they've never heard about Chaosverse. Athan thought of something and asked, " Could it be...The passage that is connected to all Legendary sectors leads to Chaosverse? "
Qerin shook her head and said, " I don't know. I was born in the Clear Lake region, and later I knew about other things like...my great-grandfather was from a universe, and he arrived at the Chaosverse with his strength and built a clan there. Other clans are the same. Their ancestors came to chaosverse and built a foothold there with their strength and created clans and organizations. "
At this time, Mike asked with nervousness, " So...do you have a way to leave this place and go to your world? Are you...."
Qerin interrupted Mike and said with a smile, " Don't worry, Mikey, I will always be together with you, and I am sure my father will accept us. " She paused for a bit as she said with determination, " Also, I do have a way to leave this place and go to the Clear Lake region...But I finally decided after thinking for a long time that we should work together and get stronger before meeting my family.
I wasn't that serious in practicing before, but from now on, I will not slack. I can tell you that the peak of power in the universes is starting line in Chaosverse, so we should reach the peak of power in this universe first. "
Hearing this, Athan thought that his guesses were right, ' Mimi and her parents are likely from this so-called Chaosverse...then where is the earth planet? Is it in this universe or another universe? Hmm...I guess it is likely from another universe because this universe has faint elemental energies even in the lowest level sectors and their planets, while Earth had none...as far as I know. '
He wanted to go there, but he doesn't know if he can and...If he went there one day, will his uncle and aunt be alive?
On the other hand, Mike and others nodded with serious faces hearing such mind-blowing words from Qerin. If being strongest here was the startline in the world where Qerin came from, then...their journey will really be tough.
Athan decided to put this higher world thingy in the back of his mind, clapped his hand as he brought everyone's attention, and said, "Qerin, we will definitely support you when the time comes. But right now, Let's focus on things that are on our plate. We still have a long journey to become the most powerful in this universe. "
Avelia squeezed her fist and said with a tough expression, " I also have to take my revenge, and for that, I will become powerful in this place. " She then looked at Athan and thought that if it wasn't for him, She wouldn't be getting powerful this fast and even get this golden opportunity.
On the other hand, Tiana smiled and said, " Let's start with our to-do list. Athan is the only one who has comprehended a complete rule. Avelia, Qerin, and Mike haven't comprehended a complete rule but have mastered their Framework Art. While I..." Tiana shook her head with a wry smile and said, " I have neither comprehended a Rule nor mastered my Framework Art. It looks like I'll have to put in double efforts, or I will be left behind. "
...
Afterward, Everyone started training.
Tiana, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike started with comprehending a complete rule. Normally, it was hard to comprehend a complete rule; however, They had aid from the magic core, making it easy to comprehend a Rule related to their magic, just like how Athan comprehended a Blood-related Rule from his Blood Magic of Versatile Covenant.
While they were comprehending Rule, Athan was practicing his Framework Art: Crimson Impaler.
Inside his Energy realm...
First, The Unima core was in the middle. It never moved from its position. Its job is to provide Primal energy, but Athan knew there was more to it since the primal energy he got from the unima core was twice as strong as a normal primal energy. AND...It could also let him comprehend the magic spells instantly...This was a very baffling matter in a way, but he didn't want to waste time dwelling on things that were far above his current level. He also guessed that the magic mentioned by Mimi and the magic he got were two different things.
Mimi only said that Unima core was necessary to use powerful magic; she didn't say it could let them comprehend the magic instantly.
Now, Besides his Unima core that was staying in one place, There were three other things.
Magic core of blood magic and magic core of lightning magic.
These two cores were orbiting around the Unima core while having a small river of their magic energy around them.
The Blood magic core had blood-red energy surrounding it, while the Lighting magic core had lightning blue energy surrounding it.
Both had the same magic energy capacity, and Athan had no way of increasing that capacity for now.
The last thing inside his Energy realm was a dark blood red orb. This orb stayed outside of the range at which the two magic cores were orbiting around the Unima core.
Athan focused on it and started practicing the Crimson Impaler Framework Art. He entered the primal energy inside the orb, and in turn, The orb released its framework energy that started to spread throughout his body.
Athan followed the information he got when he received this orb. He controlled the energy that was spreading throughout his body and started to refine his body with it.
Athan had given the orb the maximum amount of primal energy he could at once, and in turn, the orb gave him enough energy to refine his whole body one time.
Refine here means that this Framework energy will strengthen his body by being absorbed into all of his body cells and making them stronger. One round was enough to strengthen all of his body cells one time by the Framework energy of Crimson Impaler Framework Art. This process of all of his cells getting stronger was painful because trillions of cells would release painful waves throughout his body when the Framework energy strengthens them.
But he had to continue this process until the released energy from the orb can not refine his body anymore.
Athan continued this process constantly while enduring as he had no problem running out of Primal energy to provide to the orb.
After he refined his body ten times, The orb's energy finally could not refine his body anymore.
Athan opened his eyes as he felt a lot more powerful than before, " If I wear my horned crown on top of this...I doubt I will be damaged by the people who are at the peak of the Ruler plane. "
After briefly checking his physical strength, He moved onto the " Art " part of the Framework Art.
The orb inside his Energy realm started trembling as Athan started the final but toughest process of mastering the Framework Art.
The orb was trembling more and more as cracks started to appear on it.
Athan was the one doing this as he had to break apart the orb after it helped refine his body. After a minute of putting pressure on it, The orb finally broke apart and turned into shining dark red motes.
Chapter 188 - What A Coincidence, Nice To Meet You All Again.
Athan controlled the shining, dark-red motes and started the real practicing of Framework Art, which was related to " Art. "
He entered into deep meditation and started to capture the comprehension from the shining dark-red motes.
Avelia, Mike, and Qerin didn't need to comprehend anything because, during their internal battle against strange creatures, They got enough knowledge to form the metaphysical arts. Their bodies were also refined while inside the blood pool.
Right now, Tiana, Avelia, Mike, and Qerin were comprehending Rule power, and it was going slowly. They didn't have any impartial intent to help this time because all of their comprehension of Rule power were entirely and fundamentally different, and they can't share them with each other as it would instead hurt them if they tried to do that.
Their speed of comprehending a Rule power was faster than normal people who had never participated in the Roumbra blood war.
The normal way to comprehend a Rule power was tiresome and very long. Nobody had any idea where to start and how to comprehend a Rule.
So, They would focus and try to comprehend the power they were most familiar with, most comfortable with, and the power they had the most affinity with.
These three above things would generally found in their Erudite Palace because they would definitely have engraved all of their powers, comprehension, intents, concepts, spells, Flowing methods, everything...inside their Erudite Palace. So...With the help of their Erudite Palace, They would sit in meditation and comprehend a Rule power, or some people might even get an epiphany about a Rule power after a tough battle.
But the people of Ruler Plane who were participating in the Roumbra blood war would have a far easier time comprehending a Rule power due to the magic. Many had already comprehended a Rule power, but they could still comprehend another Rule power if they managed to get their hands on Magic like Athan or directly completed Magic cores like Tiana and others.
...
Time passed as after a month; Everyone had made significant progress in their comprehension of the Rule power, but they were still far from comprehending their Rule power to completion.
If they managed to get an epiphany like Athan when he got the second part of the Blood magic, Their speed of comprehending their Rule power would increase, but getting a natural epiphany was not easy.
Right now, Athan was on the verge of comprehending the final Metaphysical Art of Crimson Impaler.
The shining dark-red motes that numbered in thousands initially were left with only a few hundred motes.
Athan's body had also changed during this time.
There were two dark red spikes on his shoulders. His ankles and hands had also changed as there were dark red patterns on them.
After two days, All of the changes on his body disappeared, and Athan opened his eyes.
" Huuuuu...." He took a deep breath before standing up and going towards the backyard.
The backyard was basically the place behind mountain ranges.
After arriving there, Athan stretched both of his hands forwards as five claws appeared from his knuckle part.
" Hmmm...I don't have any target to test new powers. " Athan muttered as he decided to go out. He also needed to kill one more monster for his so-called Blood Mark, which appeared full to him but didn't give him any grand reward, as promised. However, it was most likely because he still needed to kill one more monster.
After going out, He used all four of his Blood magic and even wore the horned crown as he started moving in a random direction with his full speed.
After an hour, He appeared in a very dark and cold region where there were dark crystallized stones and trees.
He continued moving in this region for half an hour before he finally encountered something.
*Crackkk...*
The ground started to crack, and all of the crystalized things started to gather at the place where the cracks spread.
Athan looked at the cracks and muttered, " This process looks similar to how that spider monster appeared. "
But the next second, He was surprised.
*BAAAAANNGGG*
The area where cracks were spreading suddenly blasted in a terrifying radius as a metallic dark beam released to the sky.
*Roarrrrr....*
A roar reverberated as a creature jumped out from the hole and landed with a loud bang to the side.
*Badam...Badam...Badam...Badam*
The beast that appeared was none other than a hundred and fifty-meter giant crystalized gorilla. It had a metallic dark crystalize body and four hands. There were four think and sharp spikes behind his back and a dark metallic crystalized crown on his head.
" Ehh...A Crystalized king kong? " Athan said as he looked at the giant King Kong, " Anyway...I finally found a monster. Let's finish this fast. " Muttering this, Athan dashed towards the black crystalized king kong.
He already had all of his magic activated and wore his horned crown, And before dashing forward, He also used one of his Metaphysical Art from Crimson Impaler, " Crimson Claws. "
The Crystalized king kong roared as he pointed all four of his hands in the direction of Athan.
*Shua....*
Countless black shining crystals released from all of his hands, but Athan smiled with the fighting spirit inside his eyes and didn't bother to dodge. On the one hand, He knew that he wouldn't be fatally injured, and on the other hand, He wanted to taste the attack power of this crystalized king kong.
He knew that the beasts in this place required several people to defeat, and it was important to dodge their powerful attacks as they could even kill people in one shot.
The crystals hit Athan as his Blood magic: Vindication Covenant started its work of absorbing the impact and boiling his blood as his body became stronger.
" Hahaha. Good!! " Athan laughed as he wasn't even injured slightly. But the main aspect that mitigated the most damage from the crystals was...The horned crown, Exalted Purple.
The faint aura that always appeared on his body whenever he wore the horned crown was truly the most powerful defensive measure he had.
" Time to taste my attack, Crystal King kong. " Athan grinned at The enraged monster in front of him as he stretched his hand forward and the five claws from each of his hands shot forward towards the crystal king kong at a breakneck speed as they ignored all of the resistance on the way and hit the giant chest of the crystal king kong.
Seeing this, Athan smiled as he snapped his finger, and the claws that were stuck on the chest of the king kong entered inside its body.
*Roarrrrrrr....*
The crystal king kong didn't seem to feel it as it just roared towards Athan as the black crystal crown on top of his head shined.
But Athan suddenly looked behind him as he saw a group of people appearing.
The group also stopped seeing Athan's face but seeing that he was alone; they revealed angry and ferocious expressions.
Athan smiled brightly at them and said, " What a coincidence. Nice to meet you all again. "
Terxion revealed a malevolent expression and said, " Hehe...human brat. I wonder if you have some treasure that could let you escape from us? "
Athan waved his hand with a surprised expression said, " Are you, idiots? Please don't lump me together with you lots. I alone am enough to take you all...As long as you don't run away with tails between your legs just like before. "
*ROARRRRR....* [ King kong says, ' Don't ignore me, you ants. ]
Chapter 189 - Radial Black Blast, Crimson Impale.
*BEEEEEEEEEEM...*
The enraged crystal king kong released a powerful, thick, and wide laser beam from its mouth after its crystal crown shined for some time.
The eight beings and Athan scattered from the path of the laser to dodge it.
After dodging, Terxion spoke to his team with a wicked smile, " Kill this human brat first. Yeilon and Rumorn, Trap him with your powers. "
Athan saw their intentions and smiled at them. He then thought of something and said with a grin, " How about this? I will not attack you and first kill this king kong, and In the meantime, You can attack me however you want, and I will not retaliate. Let's see if you managed to kill me while I am not even paying attention to you. "
He then entirely ignored them while Terxion and the others' faces turned black and red from being looked down on like this and that too by ONLY ONE ENEMY. That enemy was also not from the Great five races and was from the human race.
Terxion was bubbling with rage as he shouted, " EVERYONE! KILL THAT BRAT AT ALL COST. "
*Swooosh....*
Athan disappeared as he started flying at a breakneck speed towards the crystal king kong.
The eight beings were dumbfounded seeing his speed, but Terxion gritted his teeth and said, " Pay attention and attack him. Predict his route by observing his battle with Kong and set up traps. TODAY IF WE CAN'T KILL HIM, THEN WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO LIVE. "
Athan smirked hearing that, but he continued and dodged the punches of kong before directly goings towards its head.
" Crimson Depth Spears. "
Two Long and sharp spike protruded from his shoulders and Athan broke them with his hand and grabbed them in his both hands.
" Ouch.."
Athan felt a bit of pain as he broke the spikes from his shoulders, but this was how it worked.
The consumption to use these Metaphysical Arts was the unique energy spread throughout his body known as Framework Force.
This force is always present in his body, but it also has capacity. Normally, This force can recover slowly after it is spent, but he can speed up the process by spreading Primal energy and Genesis energy throughout his body.
He ignored the countless crystal shards coming at him after creating a constantly regenerating blood shield in front of him.
The crystal shards sometimes went past the damaged gaps of the blood shield while it recovered from crystal shards that constantly hit him, but they still didn't manage to damage him that much.
He flew on top of the king kong as it tried to attack Athan with his large hands but failed as Athan was too fast.
The eight beings also neared King kong and started setting up traps that trigger when someone comes into a certain range.
King Kong didn't even notice them because Athan constantly attacked it with the Crimson depth spears.
Each attack of Crimson depth spears would leave a crimson mark on king kong's body, and then the mark would seep inside its body.
" Looks like this king kong is ignore the things that are going inside its body. " Athan muttered as he continued to attack the king kong with his spears while dodging its heavy attacks like laser and the slaps of its hand.
He was also paying attention to those eight beings who were making traps for him, but he ignored them for now.
He also wondered why they didn't attack him directly, but it was probably because they were afraid of attracting King kong's attention.
*RROOOARRRRRR*
The king kong suddenly roared very loudly that shook everything as its whole crystallized body started to shine with black color.
" Crap..." Athan cursed as the danger bells rang inside his head, and he also noticed that the attack he was building up inside king kong's body evaporated.
The giant king kong actually jumped into the sky as before it dived straight down, even terrifying energy surrounding its body.
Athan could enter inside his special space, but he didn't as his eyes burned with fighting spirit, and he used several defensive moved on his body.
He created several barriers with his primal energy that consisted of his domain power.
[ A/N: If you don't remember, The domain power is mixed power of all concept power of his three Altar spirits and their individual domain mixed into one domain which is Athan's personal domain. ]
After creating those several barriers, He also fully consumed his magic energy to strengthen his Blood magic: Vindication Covenant.
King kong smashed on the ground with a loud bang.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOM....*
Powerful black energy blasted in all directions that swept up everything, and the landscape changed. The traps created by those eight beings also turned into smoke.
Like Athan, They were also aware of the powerful move of king kong as they superimposed their various defensive powers to save themselves from being killed.
*Blerghh...*
Athan spurted a mouthful of blood and slowly stood up, There were some cracks in his hand bones and ribs, but that was all.
After wiping away the blood from his mouth, He looked in the direction where those eight beings created a joint defensive move.
Those eight beings scrambled on the ground and slowly stood up with various injuries.
Athan smirked and muttered, " Since I failed to try this move on King kong, I might as well try them on you. "
Crimson threads released from fingers as they shot towards all eight beings while they were off-guard.
The threads shot inside their body rapidly, and their face changed as they looked at Athan.
" Dammn it...I can't find this thing in my body...What did he do ?"
Terxion grimaced and said, " It's a Metaphysical attack of his Framework Art, Only I and Remorul have mastered our Framework Art, and you can only remove those Metaphysical attacks with your own Framework force. "
Terxion quickly found the crimson thread and destroyed it.
Athan felt he lost two connections, but he smiled and said, " Hehe, Six are enough. "
Saying this, Athan activated his Ultimate attack of Crimson Impaler, " Crimson Impale," and his Framework force consumed rapidly as The eight being's face suddenly changed.
" TERXION, HELP!! "
Everyone felt something growing in their body, but it only lasted for two seconds before...
*Shraaaaaa....*
*Shraaaaaa....*
*Shraaaaaa....*
...
The six beings were impaled by three crimson spikes that sprouted from their bodies. Three spikes grew out from their head, chest, and belly as they were impaled at the same positions.
By no means was this overpowered because the threads released by Athan were easy to block. He just caught them off-guard due to the explosion created by King kong and the injuries they received.
To pull off this ultimate attack, Athan had constantly attacked the enemy with his Metaphysical Arts and accumulate crimson energy inside their body.
Suppose the enemy also has Framework Art and mastered it. In that case, they could use their Framework force to destroy accumulate crimson energy, and in this case, It would be a contest of their other abilities and the one who lasts longer.
The normal Metaphysical Arts were not that weak as all three moves of his Metaphysical Arts had high penetrative power and severely increased the pain. < Crimson Claws >, < Crimson Threads >, < Crimson Depth Spears > and the final attack, < Crimson Impale > The condition to use this final attack was to let his crimson energy enter inside the opponent. But opponents could destroy the crimson energy and stop the Crimson impale forcefully by consuming most of their Framework Force.
Either way, This could be a good distraction during the fight.
" As expected, The Framework Art is not as powerful as magic, but oh well, It's useful nonetheless. " Muttering this, Athan looked at the Terxion and another person of the Grakil race and then at King Kong, who was slowly standing up.
" Well, Let's finish this. "
*Zooooooooom*
" WAIT...I CAN FORM A CONTRACT AND BECOME YOUR SERV-..."
Athan easily and directly killed with his two punches since they were already injured. He then dashed towards king kong with Chasm Severing in his right hand.
The king kong looked at Athan with its dark red eyes and roared before shooting countless crystals from his hands.
Athan ignored them as he was fully recovered and used a Blood shield that extended from his Blood Magic: Vindication Covenant and the faint barrier from his blood wings, Blood Magic: Unbound Covenant.
Crystal King kong seemed exhausted after using that powerful move because it became slower. Athan easily arrived at his neck and cut it with Chasm Severing, which consumed 18% of his genome power due to the thick neck of the king kong.
Chapter 190 - Stage Breaker
Athan waited for a minute for crystal king kong to turn into smoke and reveal the reward. Meanwhile, he looked at the back of his hand as the blood mark finally started shining.
[ Congratulations! You have completed the challenge and filled up the blood mark. ]
[ The reward is a random soul quirk and enough soul source to use it. ]
Athan was surprised at this reward because it was a really grand reward. The main thing was the soul source. If he didn't receive a soul source, then just like before, He would have to use his own soul source, which would decrease the size of his soul body when they used their soul quirk [ Soul Birth ]
Athan entered the special space after receiving the soul quirk and sat crossed-legged as he looked through it.
" Soul quirk...Soul Burst," Athan muttered as he found this quirk interesting. This was not an attack-type soul quirk but enhance type soul quirk.
He can sacrifice a certain amount of his soul source and get overall enhancement. His senses will become extremely sharp, His physical body will also get stronger, and his energy attacks will also become stronger. In short, All of his aspects will become stronger in proportion to the soul source he sacrificed.
He looked at the golden blob floating inside his soul realm, which was the additional Soul source he got. Looking at that, Athan guessed that if he incorporated that soul source in his main soul body, It could increase by twenty meters.
" Hmmm...Should I let my main soul body absorb it or keep it for now? " Athan was in a dilemma, but after thinking for a minute, He decided to absorb it.
" I doubt I will ever use this soul quirk unless the situation is really dire, but in that case, I can go inside the special space...At least I won't be obstructed from entering the special space in this world though I don't know about Chaosverse. " Athan muttered, but then he shook his head and thought, ' No use in thinking about it now. '
He then recounted his to-do list, which wasn't that long since he only had one thing to do: mastering his Framework Art, and he already did that. He looked at Tiana and others as he didn't know how long it will take them to finish comprehending a complete Rule.
" Well, Let's take a look at the thing I got from King kong. "
Unlike other powerful beasts he encountered previously, This king kong didn't drop any stone inscribed with magic but instead dropped an Egg.
He was dumbfounded when he got an egg from a monkey, but he accepted it easily since Lucky was also from an egg.
' Hmm...Will it hatch automatically, or should I give it some energy. ' Athan thought for a while and got an idea.
' Will I get a response, though? ' Athan thought as he went outside.
" I'll start with speaking in a low voice. " Muttering this, Athan let the egg float in front of him and spoke, " How to hatch this egg ? "
' No response, huh? ' Should I speak louder? ' Athan thought for a few moments and decided to speak in a loud voice since it's not like he would lose anything by speaking in a louder voice....except that he would look like an idiot if someone saw him.
Taking a breath, Athan shouted, " HOW TO HATCH THIS EGG ? "
...
...
Speechless, Athan waited for a minute and finally gave up. Although he knew that chances were low, He at least hoped that the voice that speaks inside his head would tell him how to hatch the egg.
He then put the Egg inside the special space while he stood outside as he was going to do one more thing.
" Stage Breaker! "
[ You have initiated Stage breaker. You will ascend to the 4th layer of this Roumbra blood war dimension if you can pass it. ]
A door appeared in front of Athan that slowly opened. The door was a wooden door with its borders covered in sparkling silver energy.
Athan smiled and didn't feel that his decision was wrong. In this layer, There were no more challenges for him and others. He could trounce several people of the peak-Ruler plane, even without using his genome skills.
He wanted to fight in more dangerous and challenging situations, and they could only be found in the above layer.
Athan moved forward and entered inside the door.
After a brief moment, He arrived at a hall with a badass statue in front of him.
Athan looked at it and muttered, " Well...This is indeed cool. "
But his face suddenly changed, and he jumped backward. After going through the door, he appeared in the middle of the big hall, and the door also disappeared, so there was much space for him to jump backward.
The statue opened its eyes as the Two metallic blue and red-looking gauntlets expanded and became cannon that stood atop the back of his hand. The two blue and red wings on its back also expanded and turned into eight blades.
Several metallic sounds appeared as a magnificent armor covered its body that was already covered in blue and red armor.
Athan was dumbfounded as he muttered, " This thing looks just like a Mecha. "
Suddenly, The mecha floated as a blast of energy released behind its back and dashed towards Athan.
" Come on! " Athan bumped his fist together as he activated all of his Blood Magic instantly, and with a flap of his wing, He dodged the attack.
The mecha didn't waste any time and aimed both of its fists towards Athan as two energy shots released from the cannons.
Athan was surprised as he sensed a similar type of energy as conceptual energy, which was mixed with several intents but a more powerful version of it.
He stood there and let himself hit by the energy shots.
*muffled...*
Athan was pushed back, but he was not injured, " Well, This might be easier than I thought. "
*Swoooosh*
He dashed towards the Mecha with a speed that was faster than Mecha and instantly released Crimson Claws before he arrived beside it.
The Crimson Claws hit the Mecha's chest as the Mecha was slightly damaged, but the Crimson energy seeped inside the Mecha. After arriving beside the Mecha, Athan punched It by powering up his Blood Magic: Slaughter Covenant.
*BOOOM...*
The Mecha has directly blasted away, but Athan didn't slow down and flapped his blood wings, Blood Magic: Unbound Covenant, and appeared before it could hit the wall of the palace and directly punched its chest.
*BANGG...*
The punch of Athan cracked open its chest armor as it was embedded into the floor of the Palace.
Right after that, Athan used his Blood Magic: Demolition Covenant.
*BEEEEEEEM...*
The three laser beams directly bore three holes in Its chest.
[ Congratulation! You have completed the Stage Breaker. The door to the 4th Layer will appear in 3 seconds. ]
[ 3 ]
[ 2 ]
[ 1 ]
...
Athan saw a door appearing in front of him, which looked the same as the door that appeared when he started Stage breaker and started walking towards it.
After entering the door, He saw his surroundings and was dumbfounded.
Chapter 191 - Gerian Lemeanor
" Woooah...." Athan looked in awe at the surroundings. The scenery around him was so mystical and unique.
" Is this metal? " Athan walked towards a nearby tree that clearly looked like it was made from colorful metal.
He cut a branch from the tree, and it clearly felt like a shining brown metal, but after a second, it turned into sparks and disappeared.
" so it looks like metal, but it's not metal. " Athan looked at the surrounding that was pretty much the same as the tree.
Rocks, plants, flowers, etc. Everything was metallic and shining.
*Roarr....*
Athan turned around and saw a creature that looked like T-rex but was made from shining dark brown metal. It even had a dark red horn on its head that started shining and released a laser beam towards Athan.
Athan didn't move as he wanted to test the attack power of the creatures here. However, he could feel that this T-rex was one of the lowest level beasts since he couldn't feel a threat from it.
The laser hit the chest of Athan, but it couldn't even push him back. He then dashed towards the T-rex, who opened its big mouth to bite Athan, but Athan simply grabbed its two jaws before using his Blood Magic: Demolition Covenant.
*BEEEEEEEM*
The laser blasted a big hole in the T-rex since Athan turned it into a wider range after being released from one of the floating orbs.
The T-rex turned into shining motes before condensing into a white crystal with some golden motes inside it.
Athan picked it up and checked it, " This energy...never seen it before. "
He could feel some kind of energy from the crystal but failed to recognize it since he had never seen it before.
" Wait...Since this layer is for people who are at Spirit Astride plane then..."
Athan decided to summon one of his Altar spirits from the special space. After thinking for a moment, He called out Skylord.
The Skylord was in miniature form, so it only looked like 2 meters tall and 3-meter long cute dragon with four colorful wings.
" Master...." The Skylord stopped halfway as its attention was shifted from Athan and intently looked at the white crystal with golden motes inside it.
Seeing Skylord like this, Athan asked curiously, " Do you know what this crystal is? "
The Skylord turned to Athan before saying, " Master...I don't know what this crystal is, but...I feel like eating it. I don't know why but it feels like this crystal was meant for me, and I could also feel it right after arriving here. So it's probably for me...Can I eat it, Master?"
Athan was speechless and said as he passed the crystal to Skylord, " Alright, eat it and tell me what it does. "
The Skylord appeared happy as it opened its mouth and ate the crystal.
*Crunch...*
Athan heard a crunch sound one time as Skylord broke the crystal, but that was all. After that one crunch, The crystal dissolved into some kind of energy and entered inside the Skylord.
" Master, This energy...It made me a bit stronger overall and also changed something inside me, but I can't exactly pinpoint what it changed. "
Athan smiled wryly and said, " Well...I can't understand anything from just a little information. "
The Skylord suddenly turned straight and spoke seriously, " I think we will find out about it as long as I continue to eat it. "
Athan speechlessly said, " Looks like you liked that whatever energy heh! "
Skylord repeatedly nodded, " Yes, Master. It felt good when that energy entered inside my body. "
" Let's go and explore this place. If we find more, then I'll let you eat. "
*Rawrrr..*
The Skylord happily roared and expanded its body before becoming a big 30-meter long dragon. Athan jumped on its back and sat down as they started flying in a random direction on this mysterious land where everything was made from shining metallic.
...
Clear Lake region, Lemeanor Clan.
The clan was basically a tiny town but had exquisite buildings. In this tiny town which was more like a village, A big palace stood in the middle.
Inside the main hall of the palace was a big table with eleven chairs around it. Among those chairs, One looked bigger and better looking than others, and on it, A middle-aged man with light green short hairs sat with a serious expression.
His right arm was cut off from the shoulder, and besides from the main chair, only six other chairs were filled up by people of various ages.
No one was speaking anything and just sat there silently, seemingly waiting for something to happen or someone to arrive.
After five minutes, Everyone looked at the doors where they saw two middle-aged men coming inside.
Gerian stood up from his clan head's chair and asked with a worried face while also exuding a certain pressure around him, " Any news? "
The two middle-aged men bowed before one of them spoke after opened his mouth and closed it before saying anything, but when he felt the pressure increasing around him, He finally spilled the news, " Clan head, We couldn't find her in that universe, The magic bead failed to sense her presence in the universe that you sent us. "
Gerian slumped into his chair with anguish in his eyes and muttered, " Impossible. I don't believe it. " His eyes then turned ferocious banged his left hand on the table before shouting, " Continue finding her. You already have the magic bead that can sense her location. Check out all the universes around that one, Don't return before finding her. "
The two middle-aged men nodded and hurriedly left the palace since they also couldn't bear to see their clan head's current state.
Gerian slowly calmed down and looked at the other six people. Two of them looked elderly with white hair.
One of the elders looked at Gerian and spoke hesitatingly, " Qerin had that item with her, right? If...she were....alive, then she would've definitely returned by using it. "
*BOOM..*
The table turned into dust as Gerian stood up and looked at the elder with cold eyes before speaking. Each word from his mouth turned the atmosphere in the hall oppressive, " What...do...you...mean....by...that? "
" Please calm down, clan head. " A person who looked a middle-aged man with white hair spoke hurriedly.
Right after that, The second white-haired elder spoke with determination, " Gerian, You should think rationally. Since Qerin didn't return by using that Ite--"
Before he could finish speaking, Gerian appeared right in front of him and punched him with his only hand as the old white-haired elder was flung outside of the palace before breaking several walls.
Gerian disappeared from his place and appeared outside, where the white-haired elder found a balance and floated in the air.
" Cough...Gerian you..."
" Me what? I still don't know how they could sneak attack us, and I also know that we have a traitor amongst us. " Gerian slowly neared the white-elder.
The white-haired elder revealed fear and was scared shitless because he saw killing intent in the eyes of Gerian and shouted in alarm, "GERIAN, I AM YOUR FATHER'S BROTHER. EVEN IF YOU ARE CLAN HEAD, YOU CAN'T ARBITRARY KILL ME. "
