Chapter 25

I stink! With magic, I could've removed the stench and blood from me immediately. But now, I have to wander around with blood covering me from head to toe. But it's no use complaining… I mean, I'll be fighting an army and Vivian, so what's the point of trying to wash if I will only get dirty.

I stared at the corpse of this Ruler. I can't really tell if I have gotten stronger or she is just weak. But I am content with my current state now. I am not weak. That's right. I just don't know how to use my physical strength because all this time, I rely on magic when fighting. The fight against the angel in that town opened my eyes. And this fight made me discover the hidden skills that I never used. The Renewal was a tremendous help. But I have more to improve. This is not enough to fight against the remaining Rulers. I know that they are more powerful than this weakling.

I turned around and stared at the glowing portal. At last… The time has come for vengeance. The monkey's General didn't use his magic because he was afraid that the Sky Castle would be completely destroyed. But I have no attachment to this realm nor to the place. I'll destroy it for him. Besides, they can just build a new one, right?

But I felt it… A very powerful and tremendous force and killing aura heading this way. Damn! Is it the Rulers? That was quick!

I quickly rushed to the portal. As I stepped into the other side of the portal, the ceiling of the chambers crashed down. I glanced over my shoulders and saw four bright figures floating down from the ceiling.

My vision shifted, making me dizzy and causing me to feel headache. I opened my eyes and found myself standing in the middle of nowhere where it is not busy. But I recognized the designs in the walls, the materials, and the pavement.

Finally… I am here.

It's time for payback.

(AUTHOR'S NOTE)

I am so sorry for this very short chapter! I messed up and got too excited writing chapter 24. Ashe was supposed to fight one of the Rulers in this chapter and the battle was supposed to cover this entire chapter, but I got so hyped up that I wrote it in the previous chapter instead. I am sorry! I just got back from hiatus too…! I hope you enjoyed this small chapter!
