Chapter 450: History(2)

After knowing about the history of the Mysterious peak and the creature sealed in it, Ronald suddenly found himself fortunate.

The beast had only succeeded in destroying the array point due to it being at its weakest. Even a hammer strike would have resulted in its destruction.

Ronald was fortunate since if the beast had used that earth ball a second later, the array point would’ve restored itself and had never gotten broken, and he would’ve died.

“It’s a space ring,” The voice came in response to Ronald’s question.

“A space ring?” Ronald couldn’t help but get surprised hearing the voice’s response.

He hadn’t seen any space ring like what he had in his hands.

The space ring in his hands released a threatening pressure that shouldn’t be possible for one, and it also had strange patterns engraved in it.

Ronald couldn’t even study them without feeling a headache, let alone comprehend their meanings.

“Yes, but not a space ring like you have. It’s alive and contains a portion of my soul. Smear with one drop of your blood, and make yourself its master,” The voice responded.

“Do you think I’m some stupid guy who would believe a voice?” Ronald asked in response.

Only an idiot would smear his blood on an unfamiliar object in a world where nothing is certain.

“I knew you wouldn’t trust me. So let me show you my capability, and then you can decide on your own,” The voice responded.

Before Ronald could understand the meaning of the sentence, the area around him started shaking at an unimaginable rate, but miraculously he found himself stable.

Soon the vibration reached such an extent that the area started disintegrating, but on the spot where Ronald was nothing of such sort happened.

A few seconds later, as far as Ronald could see, he only saw the complete destruction of the land around him.

“Now tell me, do you think I need to talk to you if I want to do something to you?” The voice asked a question after showing its power to Ronald.

“I already know you’re powerful, but I would never become someone’s slave, even if there were a God standing in front of me,” Ronald responded with a determined tone in his voice.

When he escaped from his father’s house, if he wanted, he could’ve gone to his father’s opponent and helped him to bring his father’s downfall, but Ronald didn’t do it.

It was not because he didn’t want someone else to interfere in his family issues or Ronald had a soft corner for them; he did it because his father’s opponent was also similar to him in stature. If Ronald had gone there, he would’ve become a controlled puppet, which he hated most in the world.

“Quite a determination,” The voice rang inside his head. It got impressed with Ronald.

“Since you’re the only one here, and I am impressed with your determination, let’s make a deal,” The voice further added.

“What deal?” Ronald asked as he got curious about the sudden change in the voice’s tone.

“You help me get free from here. I would complete every wish you have as the reward,” The voice replied.Â

“Huh! Didn’t you say the same thing earlier,” Ronald responded, feeling disappointed due to the voice’s response.

“Let me be the first to help you then,” The voice replied.

Before Ronald could respond, a white light out of nowhere appeared and engulfed him.

When the light disappeared, and Ronald could see what was going on, he found himself in an unfamiliar area.

In front of him stood a ruin that looked to be older than the time itself.

“Where am I?” Ronald asked, looking down at his hand, only to find that the space ring was gone.

“You’re inside the space ring,” A voice replied. “Didn’t I tell you the space ring is different from what you’ve seen? It’s just one of the world inside here.”

He didn’t hear the voice inside his head this time, but it came from behind him.

When Ronald turned around, he could see a fuzzy figure standing there.

Ronald rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had an issue. When he looked at them again, the figure was still blurred and fuzzy.

“You’re too weak to look at my appearance,” The fuzzy figure commented.

Ronald would’ve thought it was the figure mocking him, but he sensed no such emotion from the tone, so he knew the figure told the truth.

“Why did you bring me here?” Ronald asked the question after taking a deep breath.

From the moment he saw the beast melting on him, he knew that he wasn’t able to fight back if the figure decided to kill him. So he decided to forego the fear of death and stay nonchalant as following manners had more chances of offending the figure than staying casual.

“It would be my helping hand to you so that you would believe me,” The figure responded, already expecting the question.

“How are you going to help me?” Ronald asked, curious to know the answer.

“The ruins in front of you once belonged to a high-level civilization. A civilization so strong that even Gods steered clear of it. I’m the last remaining member of it. By using my authority here, I would make you the strongest in your Kingdom in just a day. It would be my second help to show my sincerity,” The figure replied.

Time flew by.

“This is my second help to you. If you betray me after this, remember, I don’t feel a thing when torturing people,” A voice rang inside Ronald’s head.

He looked different than he looked a day before. He previously had black hair and brown eyes, but now, his hair was white, while his eyes were red, giving him a mystifying look.

His cultivation level had also grown from peak Soul Formation to peak Void Forging, only in the span of a day.

“I won’t betray you,” Ronald responded as he played with the ring in his hand.

He then stopped fiddling and looked in the direction of the city where he once lived with his family.

His eyes turned cruel and cold as he muttered, “Sandar Turap, I am coming for your head.”

Ronald then disappeared from the spot and appeared right at the gate of Rusot.

Time flew by.

When he left the city, he was the only remaining descendant of the Turap family.
