Chapter 184 - Return (1/2)
After the wraith met its demise, Jade who was laying in Kinuthia embrace could sense the weight on her heart being lifted up as she finally took that one step out to regain her confidence.
Leaving Kinuthia's embrace while she held his hands, she said affectionately ”I shouldn't have been that reckless back then to try putting an end to this misery before any discussion with you.”
”It's fine, I should have shown more concern for you back then before your strength increased rapidly ever since that day.” Kinuthua told her, his hand caressing her silky blue hair.
In the past, they were both immature and young when the incident happened, allowing it to leave behind a trauma that has already been marked as a scar. If it weren't for Nightin who helped them by a stroke of luck, then they would either be dead or broken mentally.
Kinuthia being the man, decided to regain his composure first despite the heartwarming moment as he turned towards Nightin and asked seriously ”Do you still want us in your sect as elders to guide the disciples? I'm sorry if this seems too direct or rude, but are the conditions that apply if we join the sect that you've been mentioning about?”
When the word sect was mentioned, Nightin could feel the strings clutching at his heart tightening, causing him extreme pain which he can't get rid of.
”What's the matter, is it some lashback from the previous battle?” Kinuthia asked in concern as he gently got Jade to stand aside as he walked up to support NIghtin.
”What the hell happened here!” Suddenly, a voice full of fear broke the temporary moment of peace, only for the sound of laughter to come from behind the closed chambers.
”It's alright young lad, you can come in now.”
Walking into the room, Kamau winced his eyes and the first question he posed was actually so off topic that they were left speechless. ”Why are you calling me young lad when you're much younger than me?”
”Do I have permission to beat him up until he learns his lesson?” Nightin turned back, only for Kamau to shudder in fear when his older siblings gave Nightin the green light to carry on.
”Wait a moment!” Kamau stopped Nightin before he took action as he said while running towards the door, ”I just remembered that I still have some matters to attend to!”
With a swift motion, he closed the door and left before Nightin or his elder brother and sister could do anything to him, only for the shock of his life to occur the next moment when Nightin somehow left the room with him.
”There's no point trying to escape since your older siblings have agreed to the deal, but that isn't what I'm here for.” Nightin says casually, his violet long hair dangling behind him as they overlapped each other.
”Tell your siblings this as I'll have to leave to deal with some matters I have at hand right now.”
”Wait what?”
”Get them to head to the middle grade Inferno realm and search for the Nirvana sect, the golden tokens in your hands are the entrance tokens.”
But before Kamau could ask any further, Nightin had already vanished from his sight and despite his callings, all that replied to him was his own echo, with three golden tokens with a phoenix carved onto it as a symbol of the Nirvana sect.

Seeing that everything was in place, Nightin decided that it was time to leave as he got the Shadow Knight to bring him to Ash who should have been with Kamau. Since he didn't see Ash with Kamau just now, it can only mean that Ash must be trapped somewhere on the way to locating Kamau.
Even though the Shadow Knight did not know Ash's exact location, it had the ability to locate Ash with a single thought.
After a brief second, the Shadow Knight took on the form of a vortex and brought NIghtin along with him as they appeared before Ash, appearing from the ground as two vortexes which shocked him.
