Chapter 939 Sovereign of Bulwark (3)

Kyran frowned in confusion after sensing the foreign energy circulating in Eikin's and Jita's magic cores. The latter two's innate magic underwent a mutation after being reborn from the Void. The nature of their innate magic was very different from the Void, but because of the mutation, it adapted well to some of the Void's nature.

It was because of this that Kyran was confused. With Eikin's and Jita's innate magic adapting some of the Void's nature, they should have nullified the foreign energy's influence. How could it survive and affect their innate magic energy circulation instead?

Shaking his head slightly, Kyran roused the Void's nature in Eikin's and Jita's innate magic, strengthening them and nullifying the foreign energy's influence.

Surprisingly, as he roused the Void's nature, the foreign energy actually reacted.

'This... don't tell me...' Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Kyran's expression darkened as he soon realized that the foreign energy also possessed Void's nature, albeit it came from a different source— Obstruction's innate magic.

'Does this mean that guy's innate magic is also...'

Kyran shook his head, rejecting the notion that Obstruction's innate magic was also the Void.

It was clearly different from the Void, and while it did react, there was also a repulsive sense as if the foreign energy was tainted and unauthentic.

An idea crossed Kyran's mind as he studied the foreign energy again. While observing it, a memory of his first meeting with Dusk flashed through his mind's eye.

Back then, Dusk managed to conceal his aura well so that even Kyran failed to notice his presence until he was already within attack range. The former then made an offhanded remark about the latter possessing something that could conceal his presence.

At first, Kyran thought Dusk had discovered he possessed the Shaiha. But then he realized he was talking about a magic item that could replicate Shaiha's concealment ability.

The foreign energy within Eikin's and Jita's magic cores shared the same concept— it felt like a poor attempt at replicating the Void magic energy.

'Did Obstruction birth this energy after his Space innate magic evolved?' Kyran wondered but again shook his head at the absurdity of the notion. 'No. If this energy was born because of his innate magic's evolution, its core should have traces of Space magic. But there is not even a trace of Space magic in it.'

After Caelan imparted all his knowledge of the Void to Kyran, the latter now knew that the concept of Space magic was different from the Void's space.

The Void encompasses everything and also nothing. It is not bound by anything.

On the other hand, Space has specific positions and directions that can be manipulated if one possesses the right frequency of magic energy that resonates with it— for short, if that person's innate magic is Space.

While Ravan was always at odds with Aran, that did not mean he did not care about him. At the end of the day, they were still brothers— bound by the blood running through their veins. Ravan did not want to see Aran in such a state.

Sitting on a chair beside Aran's bed was none other than Kyran.

Ravan had already heard a lot about the latter from his son, Akim, and recognized him by his dark hair and eyes.

With narrowed eyes, Ravan looked at Kyran and said, "Did you do this to him?"

Kyran raised his brows and tilted his head in response.

His action immediately irked an elder from the side of Akim's mother, who pointed an accusing finger at him and growled, "You— such insolence! You are in the presence of the Grand Duke—!"

Ravan raised his hand, interrupting the elder's outburst. He did so because he sensed something dangerous about Kyran and felt that if the elder did not stop, his head would roll on the floor.

Kyran, seeing Ravan's action, smiled. Even without exchanging words, the older man seemed to have gleaned something and thus acted accordingly.

"We can talk about your brother here, or we can talk about Armakea's future. What do you think?"

"Let's talk about Armakea's future."

Kyran waited until Cyneah woke up before returning to the borders.

Nahir was displeased at Kyran's blatant moves on Cyneah. But he was already helpless to do anything. Previously, he used the excuse of protecting Cyneah's dignity since everyone knew she was engaged to him, and it was not good for her to go around with another man. However, the only ones who knew Cyneah as the Saint were the Eidums, and they already knew her relationship with Kyran was not simple. If she went with him, they would not think much of it.

Ultimately, Nahir could only sigh in exasperation.

On the other hand, Noir and the rest of the humans were also sighing, not because they felt for Nahir, but rather, they felt for their Lord— the Lord of the Tower, Stella! Thankfully, she was not there, and they resolved not to breathe a word of Kyran and Cyneah's deepening bond.

If Kyran and Cyneah had known their thoughts, they would only think they were exaggerating. After all, the two were already close back when they were living in the cottage. Unfortunately, the only ones who knew their closeness were Anette, Nolan, and Zephyr.

Kyran also took Malek with them because his condition still needed to be monitored.

It was quite unfortunate that Nahir and the other Eidums did not have the capability to stabilize his condition by themselves. If they had, Kyran would not hesitate to leave Malek to their care.

Leaving the matter in Armakea to Akim and Filren, Kyran and Cyneah left.
