Finally the True Lord Realm

'So, brat, how was it?'

"... Fuck you."

'Fair point.'

Marcius could basically hear the amusement in the tone of his spirit beast's voice. The old lizard probably felt such amusement from watching his suffering and hardship through the divine tribulation. But Marcius no longer responded to it in his mind, because he no longer had the capacity to do so.

Another shaky breath left his nose as Marcius felt his entire body twitch and shook with the breath. He slowly opened his eyes and witnessed the charred ground right in front of his face.

To be more specific, it was the charred ground of the large crater Marcius was currently lying in. And to be more specific again, it was a crater created by the strike from the last big-ass thunderbolt that came down on him at the very end of the divine tribulation.
