A few hours went by, and Daniel found himself in a room within his black castle alongside Aeron, and an unconscious Edmund. The two of them were observing as the latter groaned in his sleep, almost as if pained by what he was seeing. While his mind had been anchored by Aeron’s powers to his body, his consciousness was still being rocked around by the powerful and complicated laws that went beyond the perfect comprehension of spatial essence. A sense of confusion that made it difficult to distinguish…-

"And here I thought we had come to an agreement." Said the Teacher while showing a grim smile. During the final part of the event, he had heard about what had happened during that night, and had already assumed that not only his followers, but Daniel’s followers as well would catch the eye of the government. Now that they had been left behind, he was sure of it. The first person to react to Romah’s words was the old explorer, who took a step forward, and said, "Apologies. This was the only way to…

For the next few seconds, Nilo and the others did not pay attention as the other spatial booths slowly filled with the cultivators to which they had been assigned to. Even Aeron, Ivan, Sigg, and the father and son couple failed to be acknowledged, almost as if they hadn’t been there to begin with. To stop Nilo and the others from rejoicing about Daniel’s appearance, was the shadow of a doubt that he was, in fact, the same person who did not want anything to do with them, and had ultimately sent them…

For a few minutes, the square became the most peaceful of places, with the silence only being broken by the occasional sound of rock falling from one of the now destroyed building walls. "The beasts of the Tamer. They never cease to surprise, don’t they?" Asked an old man in light blue clothes who, along with another old man in similar yet grey-colored robes, had quietly appeared right in the middle of the square without being noticed. For a long minute, the second man observed his surroundings in…

"Wha-What is going on?" Asked one of the students with worry. The young woman once again looked at her surroundings, then said, "They took care of their half of charmed ones, then right as they were about to lend a hand to us, the other groups took advantage of their tiredness, in order to get rid of them for the rest of the event." "Damn it! Do we help them?" Asked the student who had spoken before, right after. During this short exchange of words, Nilo and the other two groups had already…

One hour after the other went bye, and soon enough, it was three in the morning. Inside the massive illusion in the middle of the square, the students were starting to get nervous. By rotating, they had tried to stop the charmed ones into the illusion for as much as they could, but their immortal essence was starting to run thin. The consumption of essence was way higher than the amount which the resting ones recovered, and soon enough, they would find themselves not only having to face these sixty…

Later in the night, the square was empty. Most participants had gone to rest in their respective rooms, and prepare for the last day of the event, leaving the entire area as quiet as a cemetery. By the time Nilo and the others had retired to their rooms, the group of a hundred cultivators that was part of the Charmer’s group had raised to a hundred and twenty. Twenty of which seemed to have willingly joined their group after just after exchanging a few words with the original members. In the…

"Hold on a moment! The agreement states that we have to grant our support in time of war, not that we have to give out our entire armies in case a war breaks out!" Said one of the Leaders of one of the mid-level factions which had been invited to the One Above All competition. Another cultivator, similarly enraged by the man’s announcement, chimed in by saying, "That’s right. How will we protect our territory like that?" When the peace treaty had been signed, the universal government had made…

"My name is Romah." After learning about the Teacher’s name, Daniel turned to look at his surroundings. At least half of the cultivators present were either looking at him, or observing him through their sensing abilities, so instead of talking casually, he turned to look at Aeron, and said, "Do you mind?" Aeron responded to these words with a simple nod of his head, before opening his right hand. Soon after, a small green orb emerged out of his palm, and stopped once it floated in the air just a…

"Aeron!" Shouted a woman in simple clothes, and whose face was covered by a mask similar to the one which Aeron always wore. She was part of the entourage of the mental factions, and more specifically, a member of the Psionic Dimension, who along with a few other similarly dressed individuals, approached Daniel’s now crowded table. At the same time, the old man who had been bewitched by Kreah looked at Daniel and Aeron with annoyance, before excusing himself from the table. As she grew in power,…
