Chapter 392 Chapter 391- Unexpected Rage

DING!

[Congratulations! Your skill 'Dominator's Touch' has reached the threshold limit! It is now upgraded to 'Deus' Authority'!]

«Deus' Authority- Allows you to cast your semi-domain for a radius of fifty meters.

In your domain, you can control everything. Once you have cast your domain— unless someone with a stronger domain enters your domain— it will last for five minutes.

If someone with a stronger domain than you enters your domain, your domain will be devoured, and all your MP and HP will be sucked.»

"...Cerberus…"

[My Liege?]

Zach tilted his head to the side and said, "Go hide in the shadows."

[Okay.]

"...."

—

BOOM!

"...."

BANG!

The entire Angel's castle was obliterated into pieces as Zach walked out of it unscathed.

Cerberus couldn't help but tremble in the shadows after witnessing that. He wanted to ask Zach why he suddenly let out the rage that was storming inside him, but he was afraid to even let out a whimper.

Zach was connected to all his undead, not physically nor emotionally, but when they were in his shadow, they could sense his emotions such as happiness, sadness, and rage.

Cerberus had felt Zach's rage and it surpassed all his rage so far.

"..."

Without speaking a word, Zach opened the portal to Aria's domain and jumped inside.

Milo quickly approached Zach and said, [Master! You arrived at the right time! Lady Aurora woke—]

Zach lowered his gaze at Milo and uttered, "Sorry, Milo, can you leave me alone with Aurora for a while?"

[S-Sure..!]

Milo flapped her dragon wings and flew away.

Zach dragged himself to the throne and saw Aurora sitting there, seemingly waiting for him with a smile on her face.

He jumped and landed on the throne beside Aurora.

"Milo told me you came here earlier in the morning," Aurora spoke first.

"Yeah."

Zach sat beside Aurora and placed his head on her shoulder.

"Hmm? What's wrong? You seem to… sad."

"Something terrible and unexpected just happened…" he muttered.

"Wha…t?"

"I went to fight the main realm boss after reaching level 100. I made it to the boss and defeated him. I got a few rewards, and my DT skill got an upgrade," he spoke in an emotionless voice.

"Then… isn't that great? It's a power up."

"It is great."

"So why so down?" she asked anxiously.

"The name of the ability is now 'Dues' Authority'."

"That's… your father's name, am I right?"

"Indeed."

"Why… why would the game give you an ability based on your name?" Aurora asked with a confused look on her face.

"Remember when I told you my father had marked me?"

"And because of that, you were in a deep slumber?"

"Yeah. That wasn't marking; it was a blessing." Zach looked into Aurora's eyes and smiled wryly before repeating, "It was his blessings. He blessed me at that time."

"I… I don't understand what you are trying to say. Please be clear…" Aurora hesitantly muttered.

"I was blessed by many beings, and their blessings are lately being activated as my body adapts to them or I reach the requirement to trigger them. I believe you already know that much.

Phoenix's blessings got activated because I met Xie Lua again and her feelings for me were too strong. The Demon King's blessing was activated because I used my demonic powers. Then there are Sea God's blessings and others.

My father had also blessed me, but his blessings were never triggered. Technically, it should have activated when I used his skill for the first time— which was the Devourer's Touch.

That was his ability that I copied, but nothing happened. After that, it evolved into Dominator's Touch. And at least to the Dues' Authority."

"Wait…" Sweat poured down Aurora's forehead as she muttered, "You don't mean…"

"Yes. The ability won't activate if the source doesn't exist, in this case, my father." Zach hugged Aurora and asserted, "There are high chances that my father is dead."

"...."

Aurora hugged him back and tried to say something, but she had no idea what to say. Her words could hurt him more, but she couldn't bear to see Zach suffer alone.

"All this time… I thought he was dead. But after seeing the memory in the slumber, I had new hope. I got a new reason to be motivated. I was excited to meet him again after clearing the game. I wanted to save him, but… my hope was crushed."

Zach hugged Aurora tightly and muttered, "What should I do now, Aurora?"

"Well…" Aurora gulped down anxiously and said, "There are chances that he is still alive. Maybe you are just overthinking and being paranoid?"

"You might be right. But… I am scared to have hope again. I don't want it to be crushed again."

Aurora stroked Zach's back and calmly said, "My mother used to say, 'You can see the stars even though you know you can't touch them. Does that stop you from seeing them?

No.

But sometimes, the sky is hidden behind the clouds, but do you hate the clouds?

No. Because they save you from direct sunlight.

So why is it that one is often worried and afraid about something they are not sure of? What's the point of it?

If one was able to touch the stars, the stars would lose their essence. They won't be special anymore. Sometimes, it is best to watch them from afar and enjoy the time.'

I don't know if that helped you, but she told me this every time I was scared or sad. There are many more things she taught me, actually. I always thought she was a poet or a writer."

Zach looked into Aurora's eyes and smiled for the first time in a while without pretending or forcing his smile.

"You are right. Thank you, Aurora. It was the right decision to come to you first because I didn't want to go back to girls with a bad mood. Today is supposed to be a celebration since we are all going to ascend soon."

"Then you should go and enjoy it."

"I will. And you will too."

"Huh?"

Zach carried Aurora in his arms and jumped off the throne.

"You have taken enough rest. I need you with me now."

"...!"

"It is the time of ascendance!"
