Chapter 120 Corrupted council
Asron’s face remained straight as he watched the council walk in.They had these wide smiles on their faces while discussing something he was unaware of.Each one of them seemed sunshiny, displaying their most expensive and well-made clothing from their lands.It drove his eyes to twitch, to think that these were the people that he knew recently.Individuals who rarely gave a damn about what they were wearing or what they had, and only fought for the betterment of their denizens.Yet now they seem more like those who ruled them before, rather than the allies that he had remembered.“Good morning, our liege.”All of them said in unison.Once again, they had lined up in a manner that he could see all of them from where he was sitting. They divided themselves from a group of those within the left and the right, and kept a path in the middle.“We come bearing gifts for you. Complements of our new allies.”The head councilman gleefully states, before bowing down to gesture at the door.Sev

Chapter 121 Day of reckoning
Asron sat on a throne outside of the castle, placed on a stage that was overlooking down on the town.Masses of the city’s denizens gathered to witness the coronation, filling up the entire plaza where they could view the ceremony.They positioned guards all over the place, but they were all from the western and northern army. As the southern troops were all placed on patrols.“My lord, we congratulate you on your triumph.”The advisers all said in unison as they all clapped their hands, making the crowd cheer when they put the crown upon his head by the eldest of them.Asron’s face remained stern, unmoved as he observed all the people that were there. The only reaction that he did was tapping on the hilt of his sword that Chris gave him.It made him felt safe, confident, and firm while surrounded by individuals that he was uncertain he could trust.“And now, our king will give his first proclamation.”The leader of the council announces to the citizens, making them quiet down.

Chapter 122 Current affairs
Asron kept on sighing as he listened in on the morning report. Even if he didn’t feel like it, he needed to know of the things that were going on around them, to make sure that he could protect everyone.The only thing that was keeping him amused during that time was because Chris was playing with Aslein on the corner of the room, who was in his infant form.So he was able to watch them from his throne.“They have separated the council into three factions as of late. There’s the one who’re now busy bolstering their forces and defenses for the upcoming waves of krads, mainly made up of the outer lords.”He raises a hand to stop Hemlock when he heard that unfamiliar name. It caused him to raise a brow as he faced the wizard.“Since when did we segregate them?”He asks, confused at the choice of word. He was uncomfortable hearing it, and he did not feel comfortable with them giving names to the people outside, considering it was the usual manner of the old royals.“We didn’t, they did.”

Chapter 123 An overwhelming threat
Chris continued to ponder, watching Aslein play in his true form was causing him to think of several things in his life.He was having second thoughts of going back to his world, understanding the influenced he had brought to the denizens of that land already. Not to mention that he was now worried about the safety of the little baby.It made him anxious, knowing that he would have to leave the infant all alone in that insanely barbaric realm.He’d grown so attach to him he didn’t know what to do.It was during this moment of contemplation that Asron walks in, sitting behind them to observe how his son was playing.“Little one. May I have a word with you?”The drogan states after a few moments of enjoyment. The fellow thought it best to begin their talk while they were both in good spirits.Surprise caught Chris that it took him a while to put on that sarcastic smile of his, boasting a wide grin and an almost craze look in his eyes.He got used to it in order to annoy or scare off any

Chapter 124 Final thoughts
“Are you sure this time is enough?”Asron asks, worried as he cradled Aslein in his arms. The infant had gotten used to his father and was being fed normally by a female drogan.“Yes, this is already Aslein’s tenth month now, and seeing as his doing fine feeding on his wet nurse, I should be able to sever my link to him with no problem.”Chris had consulted it with the other wizards, and after careful deliberation and study, they were all positive that the babe can live off normally away from him.This was crucial for him, considering that he was returning to his world. Though his essence and the things that he made would remain, his connection to the child would be severed.“And your training?”The drogan continued, cause they had considered it to be the most important of all.“I finished it, thanks to Hemlock and Cushar’s help.”They knew that some of his powers might disappear once he has returned. They taught him the basics and other useful tricks in order to search for the source

Chapter 125 Going home
“So, as I’d expected. I’m back here.”Chris let out a half smile as he gaze at the surroundings. Though a lot had changed, there were trees that were recognizable to him, not to mention that eerie feeling that was on the air.“This was the place where we found the most energy pulsing. This will be the safest location for you to enter.”Hemlock states.Around the area they had erected walls along with force fields and had stationed both soldiers and beast.With his approval and command, the wizards could control the creatures on their own by feeding their power to them, paving the way to another kind of magic.He’d also thought them the manner in which he adds abilities to weapons which they could further develop.They did all of this while they set everything into motion, as he still needed to make sure of Aslein’s situation and the royals execution before he was at ease to leave.“Thanks to you, controlling the forbidden forest, we’ve added this to our territory.”Cushar was laughing

Chapter 126 Coincidental reunion
There was a sudden chilly breeze when the wind blew within that ghost town.The patrols that were wandering the streets could feel their skins crawling, sensing that weird, electrical sensation that was suddenly felt through the air.One fellow took out his radio, but frowned, noticing that it was dead. He turned to his companion, pointing at the guy’s device. The other man tries his own but ended up with the same result.They hear a loud clank from the distance, causing them to joint, quickly raising their guns where the sound came from.The mist made it hard to see, so the men felt that eerie sense within the atmosphere, sending chills down their spine.The two trembled when they notice a shadow walking their way. Its form was odd, having a bulky figure and an almost square like shape.“Freeze! Identify yourself.”The officer yelled, feeling that itch in his fingers that were on the trigger.Both could hear their hearts throbbing inside their chest, shaking in fear at the unknown th

Chapter 127 A new challenge
The doctors continued checking in on private Chris when they got back.From the looks of it, he didn’t have any kind of physical wounds. But from another perspective, there was a problem with his way of interaction.As per a professional point of view, his mannerisms and reactions were that of slightly being in shock along with a certain level of posttraumatic stress disorder.The reason for it, they did not know, as they could get nothing out of the soldier because he’d kept saying that he couldn’t remember anything.So, being affiliated with the ability user before, special sergeant Raynald Sanchez had put it upon himself to make sure that sir Chris was properly cared for.“Do you feel this?”The doctor continued probing on the fellow’s body.The fellow had gashes and wounds all over him that seemed to have come from cuts and punctures, and his physical figure had changed from a petite youth to a rather muscular man.“Yes.”the guy nodded.“Please follow the light.”The sergeant pon

Chapter 128 Old comrades
“Oliver, over here.”The voice called out from afar. The man was standing on the other side of the street.He quickly rushes to him, smiling as he waves at him in sheer joy.Officer Oliver Gently couldn’t help but smile, seeing a familiar face after a long time.After the incident a few years ago, which enabled him to gain powers and got listed as a power user.The guy had risen to rank in the military. From a measly rank D class, he was now considered a class B after his achievements and the growth of his abilities.“Sergeant!”He gave a quick salute to the fellow.Another officer who had come into position because of the same situation as he was.Of course, they deemed Raynald Sanchez class B from the start. The moment his other powers awakened, the government promptly administered him as a class A.The two had agreed to meet up in a coffee shop in the city, as the man wanted to have a chat with him.Oliver, being the guy he was, did not pass up the chance to once again get acquaint

Chapter 129 To rile up interest
“We spotted him wandering around area seventy-five.”Raynald continued.Noticing how dumbstruck the young officer was.The guy remained gaping, mouth moving for several times, but could not say any word.He found it humorous watching the fellow try to recuperate, forcing himself to regain that soldier like composure he had a while ago, but failed miserably.It took him all his strength to keep his face straight, holding on to his laughter as he watch Oliver prattle on.Then again, there was no blaming the poor kid, considering the shock of the news was too exceptional that he reverted instantaneously to that childlike state of his.The guy had fawned over power users so much that when he had met one who had given him such attention; it turned into instant idolization, especially after receiving that gift of becoming one himself.Of course, nobody could confirm this theory, but seeing as their country was the only one to do it, meant that it had some semblance to the reality.“Wait, th
