Chapter 679 Sealed World
With Lauren's yell, Hamza immediately sent everyone into a separate space to contain the damage from the battles.
The people at play here were all Legendary Ranks and it could end up destroying the world if they weren't careful.
Lauren, with her brother Aegis, fought as hard as they could and pushed the people back.
It took them a long time but Lauren killed five out of the fourteen and pushed the rest out of this world and into deep space.
Taking advantage of this, Hamza and Aegis started casting a forbidden spell and their young and handsome bodies started ageing and in no time, they were all bones with their skin becoming loose and wrinkly.
Lauren could see her brother and his friend burn away their life force but she could only swallow the pain and continue to fight the bastards trying to kill her baby.
In a few moments, the world started shaking and the fabric of space-time warped around it.
In just a mere tenth of a second, the world then vanished from Lauren's sight.
Lauren finally sighed in relief when she couldn't sense the world and gave up trying to fight.
She looked at the incoming enemies and closed her eyes in defeat.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Each person stabbed their swords into Lauren's body in an attempt to kill her.
Lauren didn't resist.
It was a long day…
She needed some rest now…
The last thing Lith saw was his grandmother closing her eyes and getting stabbed by multiple swords.
A tear dropped from Lith's eyes and the rage he had felt now was something he had never felt before.
But still, knowing he could do nothing and was powerless, Lith calmed himself down and thought of things rationally.
With a heavy throat, Lith tried to ask the important questions to his grand uncle.
"So then… the next thing that happened was… the world was sealed?"
? ? ? ? ?
Aegis took a deep breath and nodded.
"That's right."
Hamza chimed in this time and said, "the world is now in a void. I don't know what place in the void, but one thing I am sure of, it's between two universes."
"Hmm?" This was something new that Lith was hearing.
"A universe has its laws, its rules, and is made up of many galaxies, which in turn are made up of many systems. This world is currently in between two such universes, into the void, or more correctly, in between two different sets of rules."
"It is for this reason, whenever you try summoning magic, completely different sets of creatures pop up that have different methods of fighting."
Lith hadn't tried summoning magic, but from what he had learnt till now, Hamza's words were indeed correct.
Summoning was the weirdest form of magic out there. The creatures summoned were completely different each time and there was no guessing if they would attack the enemy or the summoner.
It was really chaotic in this branch of magic.
Lith sighed. "So what now?"
Hamza walked towards a pillar in the room hearing that and started inscribing a magic circle on it.
The pillar opened into two halves and Hamza removed a dusty box from it.
He went ahead and gave it to Lith.
"Here, give this to your mother. She'll be the one to guide you further."
Lith nodded and put the box in his ring without asking any questions.
Noticing this, Aegis asked, "you're not curious about the box?"
"No." Lith said flatly. "If it's meant for my mother, it simply means I am not powerful enough to know the things inside."
Aegis smiled. "I like your attitude."
The three people chatted for a while and Lith came to realize that they were remnant souls of Aegis and Hamza.
While they were burning their life force, they took a part of it out and sealed it properly in a dormant state.
They would be woken up only when they felt a strong resonance to a Legendary bloodline. This thing happened with Lith's entry and they woke up.
Also, even though they were just remnant souls, they had the power to crush Lith with just a finger. Lith was aware of it and was in awe with the prowess of a Legendary Rank.
Finally, after a day's worth of talking, Lith bid them farewell and got out of the trial.
He was handed some of the rare treasures from the trial by Aegis and Hamza so that he didn't go empty handed. He was also given a manual that answered how to unlock his bloodline's full potential.
But in Grand Lust's Sovereigns inheritance, he already had something better than this.
This made Lith wonder, was Grand Lust Sovereign stronger than his grand uncle?
But that thought was put aside shortly as Alea, Ralph, and Dennis came flying towards him.
"LITTLE COUSIN!" Alea shouted and charged at Lith, hugging him tightly once she reached.
"YOUR HIGHNESSSSSSSS— MFHH!" Dennis crashed on Lith as well and hugged him alongside Alea.
"Lith." Ralph had reached Lith and said calmly while standing beside him. However, noticing how everyone was hugging, he went in for a hug as well.
Lith was dumbfounded with this scene. Alea's hug was understandable, but these two!?
In any case, he wasn't angry and let them do what they wanted.
Once they broke the hug, they bombarded Lith with tons of questions.
Lith was too tired to answer them all but he still did, whatever he felt were relevant.
When they finished questioning Lith, they started narrating what happened to them.
They were all pulled inside a trial, with the only difference being what trial it was.
Ralph had to go through a trial that tested his sexual abilities and rewarded him with stuff that could increase his sexual prowess.
Dennis was pulled into a trial that tested his strength and rewarded likewise.
Alea was pulled into a trial that challenged her mental tenacity and her ability to adapt. She completed it and her rewards were things that could improve her intelligence further and also her ability to adapt in various situations.
Lith was amused with their rewards and talked about it for a while.
Finally, Lith told them that he had to urgently go back home and instead of taking the normal teleportation route, Lith gave a call to Luna, Noman, and Ruben.
His maid and two butlers arrived on the scene and Lith instructed Luna to drop Alea home.
She left with her and Lith then asked Ruben to drop Ralph and Dennis at their places.
Lith then went with Noman to the Royal Castle.
Once there, he immediately dashed to pay a visit to his mother.
