Chapter 196 Five thrones above the universe (1/2)

The Blood Art.

It was technique created to be noble and dignified! With its polished armor, Endrun hoped to be able to stay next to Maria, change his own fate and fulfill his wish. However, right now, this art was changing as well, losing its elegance and grace.

Xue Ren who was laying on the ground, thrashing around and holding his chest, unconsciously activated this very blood art. However, it didn't active with full body armor, rather, it slowly began moving up...

Yes, it was moving as Xue Ren used his bloodline coming from Kuzan. Living magic activated together with blood art and from the bottom something akin to dragon's scales began to form. Condensed from the blood itself, it quickly changed into black armor with scales that didn't look elegant at all...

Those scales began its march going up Xue Ren's body forming something akin to dragon's skin.

”Arghhhhhh!”

The memories of Duan Qiu resurfaced onto his mind. She was cold beauty back then, as every peer of hers around her was weak, not able to even withstand one of her soul slashes. Then, they met... First, he saw her surprised smile, then desire to get stronger!

Afterwards... he assaulted her as he got mesmerized by her body. But after all those meetings and time he had spent together, Xue Ren, although loved her body even more, what he loved the most was the pure smile of hers filled with love.

'But you won't be able to see this smile anymore.'

The voice coming from the depths of the throne's room spoke. The simple yet domineering, clearly putting anyone below itself naturally... So much pride and self-esteem was exuding from such voice that Superbia, Kuzan and the third already went into unconscious state, not being able to even withstand one second.

It also put Xue Ren into dazed state as his body got frozen once more. He could only look at the sky, the memories of Duan Qiu's smile slowly dissipating.

'I want to see her smile.'

'Then resurrect her.'

'How?'

'Aren't you the strongest here? Why can't you resurrect her?'

Xue Ren indeed thought about himself as one of the strongest. Here, in the medium world that was indeed truth. However, once he leaves this world, he would once again become the weakest. The mere wingless divinity...

'That's right. Wingless divinity. Mere divinity that can not protect its people. So, tell me, what's the point of resurrecting if you can not protect? You who seek only one winged state, a mere trash. What can you protect?'

'I...'

'Nothing. And if you were stronger, then you would feel the connection better. You would know that she is in danger, you would save her, you would also help her reach higher heights.'

The voice ignored Xue Ren who was weeping in despair. The small streak of golden glittering energy flowed to the 'screen' that keep showing what the young man sees with his very own eyes and gave him the 'image' that caused so much pain that Xue Ren's eyes overflowed with blood.

What he saw was five thrones in the enormous golden hall. One was in the middle while other were on the sides two by two. The unknown energies were coming out from them incessantly.

Those thrones were indeed similar to his, but the presence and sight itself was enough to make him go blind. If not the voice from depths, The Ruler's, then Xue Ren would already be dead.
