If anything bothered Kyran after surviving this situation, it was the fact that sovereigns could enter other nes. Wouldn''t that red-coated sovereign go to the Human ne to get even?


    "A sovereign of another ne could not freely enter a ne of another sovereign," True Void said as soon as he sensed Kyran''s thoughts. "Only the ne that sovereign had conquered can be entered freely. Even if the sovereign of this ne forces his way into the Human ne to look for trouble, his strength will get restricted because of the Human ne''s Sovereign."


    "The human ne has its own sovereign?" Kyran wondered. But he was not really looking for an answer. His predecessor was a Sovereign, though he might not necessarily be the Human ne''s Sovereign. Besides, he was already dead.


    Did this mean there was a new sovereign in their ne?


    Nn''s face suddenly popped into Kyran''s mind. He remembered Nn telling him only one person had reached the higher realm, and that was his predecessor. However, there had been a few instances where Nn never made things clear. One of which was how he evaded Kyran''s question about him being a Magus... Could it be that he was...?


    No. No. No. Impossible. Although Nn''s behavior was suspicious, too many factors pointed out that he was not. But what if...?


    ''Argh! Stop thinking about this for now! You''re dying out there for goodness sake!'' Kyran reprimanded himself.


    ''Focus!''


    True Void cleared his throat. Knowing Kyran''s thoughts, he prayed in his heart that his master would not find out he had tattled too much. Now, his master''s sessor had more things to think about because of him.


    Finally, True Void decided to change the subject and said, "Right, right! Let''s talk about that another time."


    "Yeah, let''s do that," Kyran agreed at once. Knowing too much at this point was not good for his current state. It felt as if his death was certain once he knew all of these things at this point.


    Before adjusting his mindset, though, he remembered another person he had not met yet but was shrouded in mystery. Nn only mentioned that person indirectly, but they never really talked about him or her once, the person who possessed thest jade ring.


    Since Kyran had no way of getting his answers right now, he put everything at the back of his mind and added it to his mental list of things he had to find out. After that, he focused on removing the seal on True Void.


    What happened in Kyran''s sea of consciousness seemed to pass for quite some time, but in reality, only a few seconds had passed.


    From when his shape-shifting tes shattered to the ck lightning finally touching his outstretched hands, it all happened in under four seconds.


    Thenky man watched everything happen with eyes glimmering in delight. To him, the young human''s agonizing scream as the ck lightning snaked down his arms had been one of the most exhrating sounds he had heard for a few hundred years.


    Yes. It had been such a long time.


    Thenky man''s blood boiled in anticipation awaiting the young man''s next move. He did not believe that his attack would kill him. After all, he barely used 5% of his power. If he had exerted more than that, his most beloved ne would definitely start to crumble.


    However, thenky man had only started savoring the young human''s scream when it died down as the ck lightningpletely consumed him. With a slight frown, thenky man stared at the scene in front of him with a sudden vignce reflected in his red eyes.


    This kind of attack could not have destroyed the young human. Thenky man did not believe it would be easy to kill him.


    What happened next appeared to flow in slow motion.


    With a foreboding feeling, thenky man immediately flew up into the air. The ck veilpletely blotted out the dark sky once again.


    One.


    The full brunt of the ck lightning fell on the ground, shaking the whole area.


    Two.


    A massive explosion followed, destroying at least a four hundred-meter radius of the surroundings as thest traces of the ck lightning vanished.


    Ripples appeared around thenky man as ck mist rose from the ground outside the explosion.


    Three.


    Suddenly the spread of the explosion froze, and as if someone had pressed a rewind button, it started to shrink back to the center.


    A huge grin reced the frown on thenky man''s face. His red eyes glowed fiercely as he stared zealously at the location where the young human had been.


    "Good! Good! This is how its supposed to be! Don''t disappoint me!"


    Even before thenky man finished his sentence, the explosion below had nowpletely disappeared, revealing a huge crater on the ground. A glowing dark blue and purple orb floated in the middle of the crater.


    On a closer look, the orb''s surface was not smooth but had lines with a hexagon shape all over it.


    Inside the orb, Kyran was on his knees, breathing heavily. His clothes had started to mend. However, his flesh could be seen underneath from the parts that had yet to recover. In some areas, his bones were even visible.


    A pained look was seen on Kyran''s blood-stained face.


    The suffering he had endured from the ck lightning attack wasparable to his experience with the Elixir. Both times, he felt his body had been burned and shredded to pieces. However, there was a distinct difference between both experiences. When he suffered from the Elixir''s effect, he had lost consciousness during which his body was healing. Today, he had lost consciousness but managed to regain them, only to feel the excruciating pain again.


    He managed to prevent himself from dying of blood loss, but the external and internal wounds he had were practically killing him.


    [Focus on healing, I''ll cover you.]


    True Void''s voice echoed in Kyran''s mind.


    Kyran could only nod once in response. Breathing was already torture, even more so if he tried to move.


    WHOOSH!


    Outside, one after another, the ck mists around thenky man converged into different-sized shapes. All of these shapes began to take the form of most of the mutated beasts that Kyran had encountered, albeit ck mists swirled around their bodies.


    "Let''s start over."


    Thenky man spread his arms, and the tattoos all over his body glowed. As if in response to his glowing runic tattoos, all of the ck mist mutated beasts roared and charged over to the dark blue and purple orb.


    [Bahaha! Charging valiantly like that doesn''t scare me! Because I, True Void, only see you as treats~!]


    The dark blue and purple orb shifted, and a few hundreds of its tes disengaged from it. Holes appeared on the orb from where these tes had vacated. But the remaining tes shifted as they filled these holes. The orb''s size had shrunk, but it managed to maintain its shape.


    The few hundreds of tes that left the orb reconnected, forming four triangr-shaped shields. All four shields covered the orb forming a pyramid, and their color turned a little transparent in the process.


    All ck mist mutated beasts closed in on the orb with a few with mouths wide opened as a ball of dark energy had started to form. Others had dark energy form on their ws, while the rest transformed their bodies into pure dark energies.


    The beasts gathering a ball of dark energy in their mouth, released their attack toward the orb when they were about twenty meters away. The rest prepared to pounce on the orb after the others destroyed the shield.


    When the ball of dark energies was only five meters away, the four triangr shields glowed light purple as a huge magic array appeared in front.


    An incredible force erupted from the center of the magic array as all ball of dark energies was pulled in.


    However, it did not only pull in the dark energies but everything and anything that came within a ten-meter radius.


    One after another, the beasts within a ten-meter radius was sucked into the magic array.


    Thenky man''s eyes immediately narrowed upon seeing this. He did not look angry, though. On the contrary, his eyes glimmered in excitement.


    "This! This power! You truly have returned! AHAHAHA!"


    Maniacalughter filled the air.


    "Come! Show me more!"


    The ck mist around thenky man thickened, and dark clouds converged outside the ck veil above. Thenky man pointed one finger above, and arge red rune appeared on the ck veil, just beneath the center of the converging dark clouds.


    The dark clouds seeped into the ck veil from therge red rune and spread over the sky, filling more than fifty thousand kilometers radius from where thenky man stood.


    Peals of lightning appeared within the dark clouds, and the temperature instantly dropped.


    All of these changes happened in less than three seconds.


    "Manus," thenky man said.


    In an instant, a huge red hand with bolts of lightning swirling all over it appeared from the dark clouds and went straight to the dark blue and purple orb.


    Others would have despaired the moment they saw such a power-filled hand.


    For True Void, though, it brought more joy.


    [Yes! Yes! More food!]


    Unfortunately for thenky man, Kyran was the only one who could hear True Void''s excitement.
