"Master. We have two ways to go to Glamoxia. One... With the help of a void magic user, like Noira. But unfortunately, she was abducted as well. Two... We use the transportation gate. But transportation gates are only available from the fifth heaven and above."
Leon turned around, already soaring in the sky.
"Master, where are you going?" Lamia and Frenrir both asked at once.
"To the Delvan tower. I will just conquer the hundredth floor and enter the ninth heaven."
"Master, you aren’t strong enough. You will die." Lamia shouted.
But Leon didn’t listen and shot higher.
Lamia immediately flew into the sky as well, appearing before Leon. Her speed was many times faster than Leon’s. And it wasn’t even her best.
Crimson aura flared around Leon’s body as he thrust his palm forward in rage. "Don’t stop me. Move."
"Master, even if I have to face the backlash of disobeying my Master, I won’t let you go."
Instantly, the Demon Sword appeared in Leon’s hand. His second bloodline activated. Even before he attacked, the space distorted.
Snow and Emily’s faces turned pale. Sol almost felt his breathing choke. ’Big bro... Big bro wasn’t even using his full power back then?’ He wondered. ’And that sword. What kind of sword is this?’
Leon swung the blade, the air howling. Dark clouds gathered in the sky as a fiery arc shot forward.
A sword materialized in Lamia’s hand as well as she swung it.
The fiery arc shattered instantly.
Leon moved, leaving behind a blur. As he shot toward Lamia, sword aura enveloped the Demon Sword.
Whooooooooooosh!
The massive blade whistled through the air again.
Ssssssssssssss!
A black rift was torn open in the air. Lamia blocked it with ease, but the world failed to endure it.
Booooooooooooooooooooom!
A loud shockwave erupted. Blood gushed out of everyone’s nose. They all collapsed to the ground.
Buildings far in the distance shook, like the whole world was about to collapse.
"Master, please. If you continue this, then everyone in this world will die. Think about your mother." Lamia roared.
Leon, who was already swinging his sword once more, froze, his attack stopping mid-swing.
"Listen to me first, Master. If you want to go ahead and rescue your sister, I will go as well. But if you want to just throw away your life, I won’t let it happen. Your sister’s blood hasn’t awakened. It takes at least five years for even the purest Zenekian blood to be awakened. So you have five years in your hands."
Leon’s temper dropped a little. "Five years?" He asked.
"Yes. That time will be enough for you to properly grow strong, reach the fifth heaven, and then venture into Glamoxia."
"But what if they hurt her in the meantime? What if someone tries to take advantage of her?"
"They won’t. The owner of the Zenekian bloodline needs to be pure and a virgin for the bloodline to affect someone’s talent. She will be kept with utmost care. I can assure you of that."
Leon’s hands fell to his sides, his rage finally cooling down. "But... But I can’t wait that long worrying about her. I need to go to the Delvan Tower right now." Leon said with a determined face.
"Master, I can see you have formed three dantians. I can also feel your Qi. You have condensed it to its maximum. But you are still not enough to conquer the hundredth floor."
"Nonsense. I think I can easily win."
"No, master. Last time you used fusion. This time, though you will be strong enough to fight without fusion, you are still not strong enough to face the higher floors. The opponents there are all at the peak Martial King level." Lamia explained.
"Martial King? So I have to reach the Martial King realm first?"
Lamia shook her head. "The highest realm someone can achieve in this world is the Martial Grandmaster realm."
"What? What kind of limitation is that?"
"This world can’t withstand the power of someone at the Martial King level. Your battle prowess can already compare to that of a Martial King level. Look around. Look at the destruction you have caused with just a few attacks. Your aura doesn’t even have the might of a Martial King yet. But just because your strength has reached that level..." She didn’t finish.
Leon looked around and was shocked beyond words. Emily, Sol, and Snow were in poor condition. The remaining buildings within his vicinity had all collapsed.
After some time, Leon spoke again. "If the highest realm attainable in this world is the Martial Grandmaster realm, and the opponents are at the peak Martial King level, then how is one supposed to clear a tower? How can one go to the ninth heaven then?" Leon asked, totally puzzled.
"Because it was never meant to be conquered by anyone, Master. Unless..."
"Unless?" Leon pressed.
"Unless someone became powerful enough to fight someone at the peak Martial King level, even being only at the Martial Grandmaster realm."
Leon froze. "Was the Blood Dantian pill intentionally put here? So that when I can achieve it, only I can go to the ninth heaven?" Leon asked.
Lamia only looked at him but didn’t answer.
But Leon already got his answer. He descended from the sky, the nature returning to normal.
Emily, Snow, and Sol could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They all had thought that they would die today for sure.
Leon could see the traces of blood on their noses. He looked a bit guilty about that. Because he had lost control. The memory from his test, the memory of Jenny’s dead body had flashed before his eyes at that moment.
"I am sorry, everyone. Please forgive me." He bowed deeply before them.
"It’s alright, big bro. If Emily were kidnapped, I would react like that too. But please don’t worry. We will find your sister soon." He said sincerely.
Leon nodded. He had many things to say but couldn’t. His mind focused on only one thing now. ’I have to reach the peak of the Martial Grandmaster realm. The faster, the better. Jenny... Please be safe. I will come and slaughter everyone who dared to touch you.’ His jaw tightened.
