Chapter 117 117 - Light



"Do you think the rookie will be able to handle all those creatures?" Kyra said, looking at Aether. The blond placed a hand on his chin, and thoughtfully said, "If he dies, at least we'll be able to save more lives." The answer caused Kyra to widen her eyes, and then with a smile continue walking. "I'm afraid of you" she said in a low tone of voice.

A few meters behind, Kodiak was walking with difficulty, he was pressing his wound with a piece of cloth. Rushing to approach him, Ruri said "Are you feeling all right?" The druid shook his head in denial, "Don't worry about me, keep looking after the others" he said.

"Your injury doesn't seem to be internal, someone like Ryan could already take care of you" as soon as she said that, she realized what happened. Looking back, Ruri said remorsefully "I hope he'll be alright...".

Kodiak laughed at that "Aether trusted our rear guard to him, I would have more confidence in our companion".

The shaman nodded "You are right."

Walking across the brittle glass floor, Ryan was approaching his strongest demon form. "How many points do I have left?" he said, as he opened his window. <You have twenty thousand demon points>

"I will distribute one thousand in Demonic Fury and one thousand to evolve Demon Form to level twenty, with that, what are the next skills I can unlock?"

Ryan's skill tree window did not have many branches. Even with his current level of strength, he was still nothing more than a beginner lord, so he had a rather interesting idea.

<Are you really going to do this?

"Let's see how far I can get" he said, as he clicked through all the hidden squares. With the remaining eighteen thousand points, he unlocked as many skills as possible.

<What does this mean?

"You don't see the writing either?"

The names of some skills were changing every second. Several runes were being changed, each letter rotating between several characters, as if it were a betting machine. Even when he opened and closed his system, those skills wouldn't appear or stop changing, it was as if there was a bug in the middle.

Before he could think more about what was happening, a creature appeared in front of him. Again it was the lord of the abyss, who appeared in the middle of a circle of blue teleportation. The eyes of this creature were glowing in the same white light, in a way, it was as if this boss was no longer the same creature Ryan had talked to.

Beside him, two blurs of light appeared. One on each side, those white shadows were transforming into creatures very different from the ones that remained in the abyss region. They were humanoid creatures with blue skin and white armor, the two warriors were over four meters tall, with wings so large that they could easily reach two meters in length. On top of their heads was a golden halo. 

The lord of the abyss began to catch fire, until with the materials from that creature's body, a white figure appeared in front of Ryan. "You are not from this region, what do you want?" the young man said. The bats that were flying in the sky stopped flying, frozen in the same spot. 'So they can stop time...'

The two soldiers began to speak at the same time, as if their voices were synchronized "Yes, Ryan Whitemane. We can stop time."

One of the soldiers turned his face, looking towards Nyx, who was in her spirit form. "You do not need to intervene in our communication, queen of the underworld."

With a movement of his hands, the soldier caused the succubus to disappear from that place. <Ryan?! Ry- >

The connection the two possessed was severed in the same instant.

A bead of sweat fell down the forehead of the young man, who was standing in front of creatures that could subdue his existence in seconds. "Whe-" before Ryan could speak, the two soldiers replied. "She's fine, just away from here."

Ryan's head was trying to comprehend everything that was happening. But in the midst of all that nervousness, he remembered his past. Pulling in as much air as he could, he focused only on his breathing, trying to completely clear the thoughts that were plaguing him.

A feeling of certainty arose in his chest, as did an intense calm and confidence. Looking toward the three glowing creatures that were flying in front of him, with just the exchange of glances, the warriors understood Ryan's response.

"You are an anomaly in this world" one of the soldiers said.

The other, synthesized a sword in mid air "Your existence is going against our master's wishes".

Then the creature in the middle appeared "We want to understand why it was you". 

Looking into the eyes of the creature in the middle, Ryan focused on recalling the feeling he had when he first came into contact with Nyx. And in seconds, he was able to get through in his mind the whole reason for his own existence, his values and ideas.

The shining giant in the middle turned his face slightly, confused. "Your mind is weak?!" he said. And with that answer, he stopped thinking, again, returning to the state of meditation. Using only his voice, Ryan said "You are just ignorant."

The two winged soldiers teleported over, appearing beside the young man. They were holding swords, prepared to eliminate the human. But the glowing creature began to laugh at the human's response "You are interesting, so you let me read your mind."

Again, those soldiers teleported into the sky. "I will elucidate some more of your mind, human. My master is telling me to support you" the glowing being said, as he extended his hand above Ryan Whitemane's head.

An intense stream of light fell on the young man's body, and he began to feel an intense and agonizing pain. But his body was not getting even a scratch, yet it was as if the entire surface of his skin was burning.

After minutes of suffering, the human remained standing. Breathing hard and panting, Ryan gave those creatures a smile. The two soldiers then again raised their voices "We are watching you, human.

The bats and scorpions began to move about in that place again. Nyx stood in the same place, looking up at the sky in confusion. <Where are they?"> she said, confused.

But he didn't seem to be listening.
