Chapter 45: Imitation of God?
Kael had a guess about what was happening with Kiona, so he rushed to her side and caught her before she could fall.
He then gently said, "Don't resist. It's the process of ranking up. Enjoy the moment."
Hearing that, Kiona calmed down. Since her master said everything was fine, then there was nothing to worry about. She closed her eyes and let the strange power guide her consciousness to a different plane.
On the other hand, Kael picked up her body and took her into a small dent in the wall of the mountain's base. He then sat there with her while having his [Beast Sense] activated.
After a whole minute had passed, Kiona's eyes fluttered as she blinked and looked at Kael's handsome face from her lower point of view.
She didn't get out immediately and enjoyed his warm embrace, while saying, "It was beautiful... also very dangerous."
Kael also opened his eyes and looked down at her. "So, you were also conscious there."
"Yes, but I couldn't do anything, and I just stayed there for like ten seconds at most. I couldn't even understand things properly before I came back here," Kiona explained and then asked, "What was that, Master?"
"It was the Astral World..." Kael didn't hide anything except for his theories about the Astral World.
It was something necessary that everyone should know, as they would definitely come in contact with the Astral World sooner or later if they wanted to become stronger.
Just like how Kiona was pulled into the Astral World, they would also be pulled—and the Astral World was too dangerous. If one was ignorant, then they would definitely die an early death.
