Chapter 55: Demi-Gods
Kael didn’t think twice and ordered Alpha to forcibly take him back to the physical world. He didn’t know how to do that, but she would definitely know it.
As expected, in the next moment, he felt his consciousness being transferred to his physical body, also known as the Ether Body. Still, his back was wet with sweat as his heart pounded against his chest.
He clearly remembered the scene before he was pulled down to the physical world. A dense mass of dark tentacles was moving toward his Astral Projection, which should have been impossible considering everything existed in bizarre colours in the Astral World.
’Unless it was some powerful existence that can travel using Soul Body or even Ether Body. If it’s the former, it’s still relatively safe, but if it’s the latter, then that’s a big problem.’
As far as he knew, one could use their Soul Body to access the Astral World or even travel through it once they reached C-Rank or higher.
However, if they wanted to use their Ether Body to travel through the Astral World, then they had to be at at least S-Rank—and anyone who reached that rank was already considered a Demi-God.
In fact, anyone who reached A-Rank had significant changes in them which made them closer to the Gods than to mortals. That’s why they were known as the Demi-Gods.
It was clear that to have the Ether Body appear in the Astral World, one needed to be at least a Demi-God—meaning he had encountered a wandering Demi-God.
He was grazed by a Demi-God. That sigh was also from ’him’, but who could it be?
’Wait! Am I even safe?’ he panicked, as his Astral Projection was still there in the Astral World. So technically, that Demi-God could still harm him through his Astral Projection.
However, he then calmed down as he analyzed his situation. Anyone who reached S-Rank could kill him instantly—it didn’t matter if he was in the Physical World or Astral World, as long as he was within range.
