"Argh." A river of blood poured from Amelia's mouth while her eyes pierced Wain.

With her other hand, she tried to create a stream of wind, but It immediately dissipated as she had no more strength left, so she fell to the bare ground with a blank stare.

"I won..." Wain muttered in a quiet voice while trying to stay on her feet.

Whoooooosh.

Out of Amelia's body flew a huge amber Soul that was at least ten times larger than herself. The soul shone so brightly that the fog around it practically disappeared as people who were ten kilometers away from Dragon Ridge could see it.

"What is that...?" Someone muttered since the bright light in the distance attracted him.

"Isn't that the Soul?" His buddy said while covering his eyes with his hand.

"That's a good one. There's no such thing as big Souls, that's for sure. It sounds like someone out there fighting and using the attribute of light, though it's still astounding." The man uttered with a slight smile on his face.

"Yeah. You're probably right."

...

The world before Wain was blurring as his eyes gradually grew darker, only the light of Soul could break through the shroud of darkness.

"Fuck... I can't take it anymore... I'm going to pass out..." Wain muttered as he fell to his knees with an exhausted look.

Wain raised his right hand, and at his will, the Soul went to him as it turned into a stream of energy that flowed into Wain, but by then, Wain had already passed out, so he didn't see what happened next.

[You absorbed the Legendary Soul of Third Rank Arkan!!!]

[Received an untold amount of energy!!!]

[It will take some time to absorb all the energy!!!]

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The energy flowed through Wain's body and moved towards his Soul Temple, it was no different from any previous time he had absorbed souls, except that there had never been so much Soul Essence, so it attracted the only monster that didn't run away during their fight.

Powerful footsteps shook the ground while a massive red eye stared at Wain. The Fifth Chronicle monster's aura was powerful enough to warp space around it to make everyone shudder with fear.

The monster's long-fingered arms reached for Amelia's corpse, gently lifted it as though it were a precious treasure while the monster stared at her, then the monster's gaze fell upon Wain, and its pupil narrowed.

Whoooooosh.

The monster tossed Amelia aside as if she was useless garbage. It was a simple movement, but the throw was so powerful that Amelia's body shattered when it hit the stone wall.

The monster's hands reached for Wain with slight trepidation, for some reason such a powerful creature was nervous before it ate a mere human in the Fourth Chronicle.

At the same time, the energy reached Wain's Soul Temple and made its way toward the dark crown that floated in the center of it. However, suddenly the crown began to shake violently as several messages appeared before Wain.

[You absorbed energy from Arkan.]

[You... Error!]

[Unknown energy fluctuations detected!]

[Error!]

[In the world... in the... Error!]

Crackle.

In Wain's Soul Temple appeared his Soul that instantly absorbed all the energy and released a gray stream of energy outward.

The energy came out of Wain and turned into a dark silhouette that, for some reason, looked a lot like him, though there were no visible face, mouth, or eyes.

Tremble.

The monster shuddered as a wave of fear ran through its body that literally shackled it in place.

The dark silhouette raised its hand in a careless manner and touched the monster's chest with the tip of its finger.

The monster's fur stood on end as it tried to flee, but it was too late. The monster was simply torn into tiny pieces that scattered hundreds of meters around, the same thing happened to its Soul. Then the silhouette disappeared as if it had never existed.

...

The girl with black hair slowly opened her eyes as she, with a frown, spat out a clot of dark blood.

"Shit... That motherfucker didn't do me wrong, but he can't get away from me!" Ceozi uttered in an angry manner before climbing out from under the rubble.

She stepped outside her ruined forge while spreading her powerful aura, but once she was outside, her eyes widened.

"What happened here...?" Ceozi muttered with a dazed look.

The ground was covered with cracks, deep cuts, and craters, all the trees around were destroyed, and the foothills of the nearest mountains were seriously damaged. It looked as though an entire army had fought here, but three men had done it all.

"Wain... Where is he?" Ceozi exclaimed as she realized the gravity of the situation before running forward.

It didn't take her long to find him, since he was the only one here within a few hundred meters.

"Shit, how hard a fight did you have to go through to win...?" Ceozi whispered while looking at the bloody ground next to Wain.

'Okay, now is not the time to be nervous!' Ceozi, pull yourself together! Not all is lost yet!" she said inwardly, picking Wain up and heading towards the blacksmith.

The main part of the cave was completely destroyed, but Ceozi knew that one day someone might attack her, so she had a spare room for emergencies.

Tap.

Ceozi laid Wain on the stone bed and pulled out some of her best potions from her closet. Even though she knew Wain only a little, there was absolute certainty in her eyes as she was willing to do anything to save him.

"Good, that should help you." Ceozi muttered with a slight nod and opened the flasks.

She lifted Wain's head, opened his mouth, and tilted one of the potions.

"STOP!" Suddenly a powerful voice rang out.

Ceozi flinched, looked around but saw no one, and said with a frowned look, "Who's here?"

"Don't do that, or Wain will die!"
