465 Liriu, Tiane, and Ruik (1/2)

However, Cinty did not do that. She really just turned around and decided to leave. This battle against a Heavenly Divine Soul owner helped Cinty to understand her power much better. Besides, the protection that Krune passed to her would only last one hour. So unless she is in a dire situation, she won't use it.

”Wait!”

Just as she was about to take flight, Cinty heard Ponkeli's voice and looked back at him, puzzled.

”What is your name in the ranking?”

”Tincy.”

Leaving behind that single name, Cinty left. Ponkeli didn't try to follow her since he knew he couldn't stop that female Demon Beast.

”Tincy... I don't remember any genius who had a similar name. She also doesn't have a Heavenly Fragment or Heavenly Divine Soul. I guess this is what you call a black horse, or perhaps a 'blackhole horse?' Haha! Too bad no one was here to hear this joke. Anyway, I wonder just how strong she would be if she had a Heavenly Fragment.”

This battle might have finished without a winner, but Ponkeli was also happy enough with the experience. Both sides didn't hold back at all, which was the best way to get used to one's own power. After feeling the flow of Godly Energy for a few seconds, Ponkeli turned in a different direction and departed as well.

Suddenly, somewhere near the place where those two were battling, a rock's shadow started to move. The shadow then took the shape of a dark-colored snake which looked at the directions that Cinty and Ponkeli left.

”Blackhole Horse, your ass! Sigh... whatever. Unfortunately, they didn't fight to the bitter end.”

The snake then merged into the shadow again and disappeared. It was waiting when both sides were too weak to continue, allowing it to finish both simultaneously. At the very least, it was expecting to get one of them. Unfortunately for it, both sides didn't act as expected, forcing the snake to leave empty-handed.

Surprisingly, Liriu's situation was not as bad as Krune, and the others imagined.

He had indeed be sent to some other place separated from the others. However, while he flew around without a real destination, he was spotted by another Demon Beast participating in this Holy Land. That Demon Beast got close and noticed that Liriu was only a kid at the Core Formation Realm.

At first, the guy thought that this was some kind of trap. But as Liriu flew around, nothing else happened, especially since Liriu was flying very low while avoiding getting anyone's attention. Finally, this Demon Beast lost it's patience and called him over.

”Kid, what the hell are you doing in this place alone?”

Liriu was frightened when that voice appeared on his mind. He had put so much effort into staying out of sight, but someone already found him.

”Wh-Who is it?!”

”It was me, do you have a problem?”

Liriu immediately shook his head vigorously.

”So, how come you ended inside the Holy Land?”

Liriu didn't know if he could trust the old man in front of him. However, Liriu could tell that the man's cultivation was definitely several times higher than his own. That meant that he would be dead already if the man decided to attack. Since that was the case, Liriu decided to at least tell how he got alone.

”I was together with my parents and my uncle until we reached a big Light Pillar. My father took the test first, and I went second. After destroying all the fake enemies created by that Light Pillar, I was teleported here. However, my father was no were to be seen. I waited for a long time, but my mother and uncle, who were supposed to come after, also didn't appear. So I tried to move around to see if I could find them.”

The Demon Beast immediately went into a rage.

”Who the hell would try something idiot like this? Didn't they know that there are several different dimensional realms for each level? It was evident that you would get separated if you went through it. First of all, who would bring a kid to a place like this? Are they even thinking with their heads?”

It was then that he noticed a problem.

”Wait! How can you resist the Godly Energy in this place with such low cultivation?”

Liriu looked at him, puzzled. But then his eyes lit up.

”Oh! I can indeed feel the pressure of Godly Energy, but it is quite comfortable.”

The man's mouth twitched.
