Henberg now just sat silently with a face that gazed at his friend, he was filled with confusion about what had happened. Hander fainted when he visited him.It had been the last 4 months since they had met, and the changes were clearly visible in Hander's unhealthy body. His skin was pale with a high body temperature, he didn't know what Hander had experienced, but this was different from just checking the condition of the shackles received by Desmon."Ugh..."Hander's eyes opened, and Henberg immediately sighed deeply. "I thought you were dead..." he said with a tone of relief."Do you want to tell me to die first? I will still survive even though it feels difficult!" Hander replied firmly, his face so melancholy as he stared at the ceiling."What happened?" Henberg suddenly asked.7 hours passed, and after waking up, they were confronted with a quite heavy topic of conversation. Hander felt reluctant to answer that question, slowly his face looked at Henberg who was still waiting f
After emerging from within the dome's environment, Hander's condition did not immediately improve. He had to calm his pounding heart.Henberg leaned Hander against the tree trunk."Are you alright?" Henberg knew this was a foolish question, but it had to be asked.There was no response from Hander, his breath continued to come out repeatedly without pause.A container of water was immediately given to Hander."Drink this, your condition will better soon!" Henberg said with the intention of supporting him.Slowly, Hander drank the water given by Henberg, so many sips until all the water was gone."We'll rest here for a while, and once everything has improved, then we'll leave from there..."Hander simply nodded.For an hour they were still at that location, Hander's face, previously covered in a cold sweat, gradually began to brighten. He could breathe more freely.Although the condition was better, Henberg still worried about Hander's health. However, this responsibility was already t
Not long after, Houjin went from where Henberg was. Gilbert had been watching the building the whole time, curious as to why Henberg was so serious about this matter. For some time now, Henberg had been silent about it, with no clarity on the matter.And often, when asked, Henberg would only say he was visiting an old friend, but several times Gilbert had seen Henberg grimacing in pain as if he had been in a fierce battle."What's really going on? Why is that old man visiting Master Henberg's place? He seems to have a secret..."He understood this was Henberg's personal matter, and as a student, it wasn't appropriate to meddle in an impending problem. However, he couldn't contain his curiosity.He immediately walked towards Henberg's room, eager to know what Henberg was really thinking after all this complexity.His ears gently tried to catch what Henberg was discussing inside, faintly hearing Henberg's troubled breathing."I suspected master was hiding something! Master forgive me, I
Short words given by Henberg continued to haunt Gilbert's mind; he never imagined that what Henberg said was more than he had imagined. He was too selfish, he only wanted to be noticed by Henberg.Feet traced the room until they reached the vast field, an area that often accompanied his training time.This was where he often received lessons, but it felt like days that might never happen again. Fully aware that death would be the result of this problem, his hands clenched tightly.Dash...The innocent tree received its hard blows, causing perfect cracks that shook the leaves to fall.“Why am I truly so weak like this? I should have a better understanding of the conditions experienced by my master!” He wanted his tears to fall in remorse for his weakness.Unconsciously, from behind the second-floor window, Henberg observed Gilbert's demeanor. A trusted teacher would certainly feel guilty seeing his student hesitate like this.“It seems it's not easy to be a teacher after all. I underst
"Houjin, I came here to offer help in sealing Desmon!"From the expression combined with a firm tone, Hander could confirm that Houjin was someone of comparable ability to himself.Hander chuckled with the seriousness conveyed by Houjin."Yes, I'm Hander! Are you sure your students can help strengthen Desmon's seal?" he asked as if belittling everyone present.Everyone began to cast sharp and hateful glances at him, but Hander didn't respond to those looks. He continued to regard Houjin as someone responsible."No need to worry, their abilities have been proven! I can assure you that their skills are at a high level, meaning they are among the best..." The explanation wrapped in a high level of confidence could easily sway amateurs and make them comply with his wishes, but Hander was an elder who wouldn't easily be deceived by such words."You should know, I don't care how skilled you are in sealing techniques, here the stakes are lives! If you think lives can be easily replaced, I t
Hander who was left alone, wouldn't just give up easily. He immediately tried to channel the energy within his body to break the shackles binding him."Damn it, turns out you have high-level magic like this!" Hander's hand began to clench tightly; he couldn't believe he was shackled like this by his own friend.His eyes glanced towards the dome, shrouded in thick miasma, a sense of questioning lingered. He wanted to witness for himself how these people would act.There, Houjin and his five disciples began strengthening the sealing ritual; Desmon's contained existence was very powerful. The pressure exerted was almost unbearable, but they dared to channel all their energy throughout their bodies. Indeed, the impact was quite good; it was evident the energy used was helping to restore Desmon's body structure."Remarkable, thanks to the seal that previously bound Desmon's body, our power encounters didn't encounter any significant obstacles! Henberg and Hander are indeed two great hermit
"What is this..." It was clear that Hander felt a mysterious turmoil from inside the dome; his hands couldn't even move. "Could it be...?" He grew increasingly panicked, struggling with all his might to free himself.Desmon suddenly increased his energy, the miasma swirling him seeming to dance around his body. His mouth opened wide, and slowly all the miasma was drawn into him.Even the atmospheric pressure that ensued had to be endured by Henberg and Houjin; after it was all over, their bodies couldn't move, frozen in fear Desmon's power now possessed."His strength has increased!" Henberg uttered, unable to stop himself."Hahahahaha... finally, I never expected the power I've held for so long would return to this body!" His joyous face turned towards the two, a sinister grin signaling death.Whoosh...In seconds, Desmon was chasing them, targeting Henberg."You're the first to have ever imprisoned me, and now you'll feel the wrath I've harbored for years..."Kaboom...Foolish to st
Desmon emerged from the dense black smoke, as it could be guessed the earlier attack had no effect. He was still in good condition, staring with a threatening glare."As I expected, that you are indeed a demon not easily destroyed...""Hahaha... look who joined the party! I never expected you to show up here. It's true that among all the opponents, you're the only one I admitted! But, even with your body, are you still able to face me...?"Hander's eyes narrowed, indicating that Desmon understood the current situation. While recovering the seal, Hander's condition was continually eroded by miasma energy. And, engaging in a fight at this time seemed futile.Not long after, Desmon's body emitted a massive energy, which turned out to be the previous miasma.The once clear air was now contaminated again."He intends to weaken me...""That's right, I won't allow someone like you to win here!"Hander chuckled at Desmon's statement. "Does that mean you're afraid of my presence here?""You ba
