"So this is when you're most vulnerable…"
As these words were spoken, Aron remained still like a log completely unaware of the happenings in reality.
His nude body radiated large amounts of mana that would normally be enough to completely kill an ordinary individual.
However the one who stood before him at this moment was one of the few enigmas present in Pesia…. Juliet.
Although her body looked to be intact, her clothes were eroded by the fluctuations just like Aron and her naked body was displayed fully.
Despite this she wasn't at all flustered and continued to gaze at Aron seriously as he laid there vulnerable.
"You really are the strongest there is in Pesia." As if confirming what she had already suspected, Juliet gave a nod and began to approach Aron.
She held no weapons as they too had long since eroded into nothingness. But rather than attack him in this state she straddled him.
Her hand slowly reached back and began stroking his manhood until it grew erect right beneath her.
The seriousness on her face didn't fade even as she raised herself up slightly so as to position it right between her slightly wet feminine folds below.
Upon lowering herself onto it she didn't show the least bit of pain despite some blood now running down the side of her thigh. Rather she didn't waste anytime and began moving her moves dutifully.
…
Unaware of the happenings within the cloud of dense foggy mana, Elise and Helar continued to stand near it's boarder while looking forward worryingly.
For the many parties who observed the lengths they were going to protect Aron one would think that they held the utmost care for him.
But in the truth they simply so his value, the value in something that could help them grow stronger.
Kolieans gave little regards to familial relations and the like. With their race in decline Aron's emergence was like a blessing.
With him they had hope of evolving even further so it was only natural they defended him.
Most felt this would be an easy task when suddenly something else caught everyone's attention…
"Aethelian airships are approaching!"
Somebody suddenly reported and caught the attention of the many gathered powerhouses.

"Didn't young Aron defeat them already?" Goovin of the bulls who stood not too far from the boarder turned to Lady Rose and asked this.
But before she could answer a strong domineering voice resounded in the air.
"I Sayiva have come to seek the justice that I am owed! So long as the pillars and Celes are handed over no blood needs to be shed today."
Despite the current state of the world Sayiva hadn't forgotten her purpose in gaining power and would see through until the end, it was the driving force that kept her clinging to life.
"Who is that?" Helar asked with furrowed brows as she felt an ominous feeling coming from the voice.
Even without seeing the individual she could tell that they were either strong or foolish to challenge a united force such as this.
"Does it matter? She needs to be delt with before she damages the city or worse the device and formation." Issac was abrupt to answer as a demon from his past revealed herself right before him.
The heads of the Rosenberg and Hoffenheim families also exchanged worrying glances with one another but felt too ashamed to even speak.
Boom!
Just then the silence that had been built up was destroyed as a large bolt of lighting struck near the foggy boarder but killed no one.
It had landed near Issac Lovitz almost as if it was a warning causing the many others to furrow her brows.
"She might have struck my grandchild's evolution sphere and disrupted him!" The short tempered Helar had no idea who this Sayiva was but Kolieans were a race not used to being looked down upon.
Even the females who were far more civil and well spoken than their male counterparts had very short tempers and wer easily triggered.
It was by chance that such a miracle was given to them, yet this unknown being was about to come ruin it all and even had demands?
"Killing formation, now!"
Helar's eyes lit up and astronomical amounts of mana began to radiate from her, so much so that even the other Kolieans were taken aback.
"Didn't you hear her?!"
Elise soon followed and did the same, this was the power of two true peak tier five existences, only mere inches away from breaking the boundary into tier six… a whole new world.
Even the arch mage who many felt was tier five were left speechless, unlike the Kolieans who had numerous powerhouses the humans had few and so their system of tiering was inaccurate.

The same could be said for Komi who measured based solely on physical capabilities and Aethelians who measured solely on mana capacity.
Kolieans on the other hand used both to determine their levels, this meant a tier five for them was already someone above tier six for the other races.
Following her orders all the Kolieans began to mobilize with the exception of those guarding Aron's evolution sphere.
Even Selha who seemed to hold a dislike for Aron stood guard as she saw and felt the benefits he would bring towards them.
This level of unity that allowed personal feelings to be overlooked for the greater good is what allowed the Kolieans to be as domineering as they are in comparison to races that had segregation even among their own.
….
Sayiva's airships were right outside the city and had many of the civilians below her terrified beyond belief.
Her words were heard most clearly by them and if the leaders within the city didn't abide by her demands then they would surely be the first to die.
Sayiva ignored the ants below and had her gaze focused on the city before furrowing her brows when she felt the astronomical levels of mana being radiated from there.
[ Strong, very strong. You can't win, do not fight ]
The inner voices whispered to her with the utmost seriousness.
They gave her a feeling of invincibility ever since she made a contract however that feeling had faded twice since then.
Firstly was back in the Komi islands when confronted by the Aron, Lady Rose and Evanora and the second was now.
"I didn't come all this way just to surrender, if I must then I'll take as many of them as I can with me." Sayiva's determination was unmatched and she was willing to sacrifice herself even in a hopless situation.
[ Do not forget, this body is not yours anymore! ]
The voices urged and forced Sayiva to her knees as she felt a brain splitting headache hit her hard.
[ Do not act reckless or the contract will be void… ]
After saying this the voices went silent once again while Sayiva grit her teeth in annoyance.
Her subordinates looked at her worryingly but none dared speak up or voice concerns.
The only one to speak was the Aethelian general on the neighboring airship who had set out alongside Sayiva for the war.
"The pillars can wait, our priority is her highness. You lost your right to rule us years ago, even if her majesty dies I will never swear allegiance to you." The stubborn buxom woman reminded before turning her attention to the city.
….
It wasn't long before numerous Kolieans and even Komi appeared outside the city looking ready to confront Sayiva and her Aethelian army.
"Wait." Before Helar or Elise could unleash their fury Lady Rose stepped forward and looked up at the leading airship.
"Sayiva was it? I'm not sure what sort of vendetta you hold but as you can see the world is in peril at the moment so our focus lies elsewhere. The Aethelian queen is Aron's prisoner and the pillars are now his pillars. Do you still want them?"
Using Aron's name and by revealing herself as well, Lady Rose added to the hopelessness of the situation for Sayiva.
The mana demon made her unmatched in the same level but that was with the exception of certain enigmas that also didn't follow standards.
Sayiva had no idea on how to reply, she couldn't fight her way through nor could she yield. Lady Rose smirked when she saw a lack of reply and so she continued to speak.
"However if you're willing to wait then I'm sure Aron would be open to negotiations. He is simply busy at the moment. Is that fine?" Lady Rose found it to be waste for a confrontation to begin right now.
For whatever reason Aron had chosen to gather numerous individuals and even civilians, no matter how she thought about they had to serve some other purpose since Aron was by no means a saint.
"I will wait for him then." Sayiva replied while keeping up her domineering act but deep down she felt relief that the situation hadn't gotten out of hand.
If her daughter really was alive then she had one more reason to cling onto life.
