Chapter 196 Five thrones above the universe

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.

'Throne of Life, Throne of Death, Throne of Time, Throne of Space and then... Throne of Ruler.'

'...'

'Do you want to experience another lose, another demise of your loved one? No? Then reach those thrones. That's what any divinity aims for, your goal. I can feel that those thrones are not seated by anyone, thus... put your women on them and live the life of commoner for as long as you want. At the top, no one is going to disturb you.'

The voice chuckled lightly and added.

'I have enjoyed your lifes and want to enjoy it more, Xue Ren.'

Neydon and his group kept attacking the white dimension for two days straight just like demonic men from the Violae Empire. Just how many swords have they lost? How much energy had gone wasteful to this impenetrable dimension?

Rannes herself had lost the same amount of swords like her loved one as she kept doing her best to help him. Then, she could feel the presence behind her. Before she could turn her body around, the black claw grabbed her head strongly causing her to stop every kind of movement.

She was within the grasp of unknown man!

What's more, the presence behind her hasn't been noticed by anyone by her. It made Rannes to know that he deliberately let her sense himself! With her heart thumping loudly, because of the new danger, Rannes tried her best to let out squeals to notify her man...

But the pressure was so strong that she could only let the unknown man do whatever he wants. In the midst of the angry shouts and slashes of swordsmen, in the midst of the demonic roars of the demonic race, Rannes suddenly found herself facing the white dimension.

The white streaks of Sword Qi were coiling, moving like perfect slashes. She knew very well how sharp and deadly those streaks are after spending here two days. And now, she felt her head coming closer and closer to those streaks without any protection...

'No! No! Stop! Stop!'

It was slow, so slow as if the unknown man wanted her to feel the fear and regret for everything she had done.

'YoU HaVe KiLLeD My WoMan.'

The voice of demon rang out inside her mind.

'Not Only She Had TrEated You LikE a SiSteR, but Also SaVed The Shitty LiFe of Yours!'

Xue Ren's words were indeed effective, causing Rannes to twist her face in horror and regret. Then, the white streaks of Sword Qi suddenly struck her trembling eye. She screamed so hard that the sight of Xue Ren became noticed by everyone.

It was Xue Ren who had let her scream.

Seeing their princess being held by unknown demon, they obviously screamed angrily. But before they could move, Xue Ren pressed her head tightly against the white dimension which was like saw, skinning her face.

"Arghhhhhhhhhh!"

The flesh completely disappeared from her face as it splattered around on the Neydon and surrounding swordsmen while Xue Ren pressed her body even more. Grinding up her whole body, Xue Ren tilted his head to the side like demon he was...

"NeYDon! You ArE NeXt~~~~~~~~~~ Kyahahahahah!"
