East of the Noules EmpireThe Blackened PlateauThe Weiji Alliance Military EncampmentAfter spending his brief forays in the Ice Snowlands and then attacking the ISB on Earth, Leiu finally returned to Menhit.“You killed them all?”“It wasn’t me who killed them, but their top executives and leaders are dead.”Once he confirmed that, the Goddess of Fury let out a hearty laugh and gave him a bear hug.“You didn’t disappoint, Dark Knight!”When she pulled her body back and let go of him, Leiu took a deep breath. Menhit was much taller than he was, and being hugged like that by her almost made him suffocate, and not to speak about Anne, who was standing a couple of feets away.“What of the Imperials?”With a bright smile on her face, Menhit briefed him about what occurred during his absence.Apparently, there was a big meeting between the army leaders of the Weiji Alliance and the military officers of Noules.Furthermore, Queen Elizabeth returned. After all the perpetrators in the Counci

Ten more days passed, in which Kusomi didn’t stop absorbing the Nature Aspect. It kept empowering her to an unimaginable degree, but at the same time, her condition was getting noticeably worse.At times, her feet would stumble and she would lose balance. Also, albeit infrequently, she would cough some blood.Tenebris’ training with the sword, even after fifteen days, saw no improvement whatsoever. The only plausible explanation for this was his abysmal talent and weak body.After all, Kusomi tried to help him by injecting a bit more Nature Aspect into his body, which should have increased his stamina and increased his physical capabilities by a small margin, but even that didn’t have any effect.Humans were able to, broadly speaking, absorb the Nature Aspect. It would just disperse out of the body after some time, nevertheless, it was a bit strange that Tenebris, excluding the fact that it satiated his hunger and thirst, didn’t benefit from it all.“I got you!”As they were walking i

With the help of the Dark Archmage’s spell, Leiu and Anne were able to dive underwater and breathe. The Void Incarnate, which wasn’t even a living creature, simply jumped down and transformed into somesort of a hideous hammerhead shark.Leiu really wanted to question it as it never said it could change its appearance, but now wasn’t the time.The four swam deeper and deeper until the Void Rifts were in sight. They let out ominous purple glows, all haphazardly scattered everywhere.Albeit not at full speed, Leiu was able to swiftly reach them and used Primordial Darkness to forcefully close them down. Oddly enough, no Voidspawn came out to attack him. Only Void Riftss were present, which, rather than fortunate, felt like a bad omen.Thus, as they kept descending closer and closer to the seafloor, Leiu got rid of any Void Riftss in the way. It was a tedious but not overly-taxing process.Eventually, however, they reached the two, aforementioned, big Void Riftss. They were massive, but

“Huff… huff..”Leiu was gasping for air aboard the ship’s deck. Anne was hugging him, relieved that he made it out alive.Sumbus was also sitting down, his complexion paler than usual. Before returning to the surface, Leiu closed the Void Rift with the Primordial Darkness. He had less than 20% health remaining and his mind was still befuddled.“I’m… okay, Anne.”“Drink this.”She forced him to drink three Health Potions, which did help with the physical wounds.“Leiu.”The Mermaid Queen stood a couple of feet away. Her heavy injuries notwithstanding, she was faring relatively well, at least better than him.[Lanna ‘Mermaid Queen’(Race: Astral Mermaid)(World Boss ‘S): Lv1027][Health: 220,729/1,500,000]“Lanna…”Leiu scrutinized her, noticing some similarities with the mermaid he had met in the past.Lanna had grown more mature and, clearly, considerably stronger. Admittedly, she and Leiu weren’t the best friends, but they did help each other in the ‘past’.“We could’ve killed Him.”

[User, there is an increasing fluctuation of energy from the g-]Eva’s voice turned into silence, but more surprising was the abrupt change of environment.Sumbus, Leiu, and Voido, were standing in an endlessly dark world, but the ‘Darkness’ was completely different from the norm. It wasn’t Primordial Darkness or simply an overabundance of Darkness energy. This was something else entirely.Before anyone could speak, innumerable lightning bolts pierced through the ‘darkness’, shattering like glass and revealing an empty space not unlike space itself.There were star wars that were far, far away, but most noticeably, the majority of them were caught one supernova after the other.Leiu and Sumbus felt immense dread as an overwhelming pressure assaulted them, locking them into that empty space. Leiu tried to use the Darkness to protect himself but, surprisingly, it wouldn’t come out. It seemed unresponsive and ineffective as if something was sealing it away.Sumbus fared even worse as h
