Chapter 146: Left Behind

This wt on for over hours. Kiro wasn't slacking either, he wanted to catch anyone who succumbed to the ergy's cunning.

He dedicated his 0% conctration for over hours, overseeing everything. But of course his astral body was active with something else within his mtal, but that didn't deter his conctration.

The sky was an amazing sight to see. Every colour known and unknown to Kiro occasionally flashed out in a strange orderly fashion. The ripples seemed like they would crack the world into two equal halves but nothing of that sort happed.

Kaos ergy was just going haywire up there. Seeing so many beings grab at it at the same time, made it the more vicious. Nothing of this sort has ever happed before to it, it was a surprising first and it didn't quite like it. It wanted to cause damage as much as it could.

And because of that, out of the 0 that followed Kiro back here, about 30 were already unconscious. He knocked them out before the ergy could claim their sanity for itself. It was a game of cat and mouse betwe Kiro and the stubborn ergy.

Of course, his most talted studt was still at it. He was almost tirely done creating his pathways, while some of the others were lagging behind, they were also doing the same.

Some were not doing so great, as the most they could muster was just holding onto the essce Kaos was attempting to rip from their bodies. They couldn't do anything else, but fight to keep themselves intact.

"Master, I don't think they can be done in an hour." Hubris said with a tinge of jealously.

"Leave us and we will catchup." Kiro said, not taking his eyes off them.

"I-I can't, how could you ev ask me that."

"Hubris, we can't be delayed. Take the army and leave us, we will get there evtually. What's happing in front of me is a beautiful thing that cannot be stopped, it would be a crime if I cut them short." He told him still not taking his eyes off them.

Hubris scoffed, "fine, we will do it your way master." He turned on his heels to leave.

Kiro shook his head as he saw that he was sulking. He was doing this for him after all, the more powerful his soldiers are, the higher the chances of winning against his uncle.

Just th, the atmosphere a the kid that excelled calmed down a bit. Kiro was so proud, he wanted to pummel them into nothingness. He understood they couldn't quite grasp Kaos, but if only they tried, ev just a little, they could've done it.

He watched as his body cooled and naturally absorbed the ergy. It was impressive. The ripples also calmed down a little, the fact that they acknowledged the fact that he was done, spoke a lot about how great he was amongst his peers.

He oped his eyes slowly, and for a second, they glinted purple. He breathed out, which cause a bit of mist.

"Congratulations. You've succeeded." Kiro said in a whisper.

The kid looked a, wh he saw that nobody else was done and some were unconscious, he grinned.

"Hahaha, I knew it, I'm kind of special." He said happily jumping in their air.

Kiro couldn't help but laugh. The kid was arrogant, but it was an innoct kind, not the overbearing kind. He liked him, he liked him a lot.

"Kid, what's your name?"

He turned so fast, he didn't know that someone was behind him. Ev the whispered congratulations didn't reach his ears, he was too excited.

"Oh, ah, excuse my rudess sire." He bowed so low, but not all his limbs were down which caused for his behind to be in the air.

Kiro chuckled at this. 'What a clumsy kid. He's full of happy ergy though, so I guess that's good. He won't betray Hubris.'

He heard the sound and saw that Kiro was laughing at him. He noticed that it was the way he showed respect, and quickly fixed his posture.

"I'm so sorry Sire for my insolce, please have my head." He said, embarrassed to the core.
