Chapter 159: Ignore And Accept
Those who were still fighting saw the Academy Leader’s death... and everyone got insanely pumped. He won! Now there was only one thing left: clearing the planet of Risen... and then, hunting down any traitor Elders that might still be hiding somewhere.
There were about 80 Risen left... maybe a little less. They were in a chaotic, pre-complete transformation state. Out of the hundreds from before, many had already fallen to the twins, and a good chunk had died during Niara’s wild fight against the Risen Chief. These Risen didn’t even have enough intelligence left to pull back and ended up getting caught in the crossfire.
Darian took a deep breath. Most of his body still felt like it was made of elemental energy, but that was just a temporary state. Whenever he fully activated his control over the energies or elements, his body turned more ethereal, like he had become part of the elements themselves. He could even float.
But... it drained a lot of his inner energy, pulling from the rings on his forehead. He snorted and shifted his body, making it more solid again.
That body had been created using life energies, so it had this weird ability to change like it was both a soul and a living body. Maybe... this wasn’t even the only transformation possible. He’d have to explore that more later.
As he became more solid, gravity started pulling him down. When his body began to fall, he felt someone approaching—and two hands caught him.
Niara grabbed him by his serpentine body. He wasn’t very long, actually kind of thin, almost like a snake. His head and arms were small too, fitting with his overall size.
"!"
Darian felt something really strange and new the moment she touched him.
His eyes widened. Her bloodline was resonating with him. And not just that... suddenly, his senses expanded like crazy. It was like he could see everything around him without even needing to look.
