As Void ling training temporarily halted, the world beyond his battle continued to move forward. Inside the Crimson Slayers kingdom, tension still lingered. It had been three days since Void ling entered his trials, and now, the warriors who had stood anticipation decided to stepped beyond the kingdom walls.
Ryuu:
(Rare command)
"We need to go outside--see what's happening beyond the kingdom."
Kaia:
(Soft and certainty)
"...Agreed. if the kingdom is shifting, we need to witness it ourselves and what happening in the kingdom."
Her breath remained controlled, her stance did not falter--but now, Celestina exhaled slightly. And then--she finalized the movement completely.
Celestina:
(Low and calculation)
"...Then let's not waste time."
Blaze Vortex;
(Rare confidence)
"I wouldn't mind stretching my legs after all this waiting."
Seraphina Nyx:
(Calm)
"What about Void ling and Mr Ryder?"
Ryuu;
(Soft and firm)
"It alright, we will back quickly before they finished the training."
His presence did not retreat, his stance remained steady--but now the group pressed forward completely. The Crimson Groups went outside. The air was great, Vendors called out their prices, families strolled through the markets, and merchants exchanged trade without concern. Every home stood. The people doing their usual activities.
Seraphina Nyx:
(Soft and breathless)
"...it air feels good, I never knew this kingdom is awesome, it was different the last time I visited here."
Kaia:
(Soft and awarness)
"Because there was an event, which you guys came."
Blaze Vortex:
(Low and calculation)
"This air is so relaxing, the people are also peaceful and doing their own thing."
His stance remained solid, his breath did not waver--but now, the street shifted slightly. THE GENESIS SQUAD stood at the far end of the main district--their presence unmistakable. And there was Kaito leader of the squad and his subordinates, which includes; Rin, Yuki, Akira and Ryoma.
Kaito:
(Low and soft)
"...Crimson Slayers. I see you've stepped beyond the kingdom walls today."
Ryuu:
(Low and defining)
"King Kaito from the Genesis Squad. What brings you to the central district?"
Kaito:
(Low and awarness)
"...Ensuring stability remains intact. A kingdoms pulse does not always reveal its fractures immediately."
Yuki:
(Soft and quiet)
"Tension runs deeper today."
Rin:
(Measured and awarness)
"Perhaps deeper than they realize."
Further back, Ryoma studied Blaze and Seraphina carefully--his curiosity sharpened and his gaze locked onto both of them
Ryoma:
(Low and sharp)
"Takashi...Who are those two?"
Takashi:
(Low and defining)
"Oh them, Blaze Vortex and Seraphina Nyx."
The people shifted and whisper between them. Some were in awe, others were eager to see what will happen.
Crowd:
(Hushed and realization)
"Look...it's lord Kaito from the Genesis Squad.."
Crowd:
(Awe and reverence)
"And Commander Ryuu from the Crimson Slayers."
Akira crossed her arms, his gaze steady on Ryuu. And he spoke with curiosity and urgency.
Akira:
(Defining and interest)
"Where is your king?"
Ryuu:
(Low and effortless)
"Sleeping."
His presence did not waver, his certainty did not retreat--but now, Akira smirked slightly. And then--he finalized the thought completely.
Akira:
(Defining and irony)
"That king always sleeping."
Kaito stance remained unwavering, his voice pressing forward effortlessly as the crowd listened in anticipation.
Kaito:
(Low and defining)
"Enough Akira. Commander of the Crimson Kingdom, Next week, every kingdom shall gather. The Grand event will unfold--an assembly that has not occurred in decades. The Empress will announce that tomorrow. "
Ryuu:
(Defining and certainty)
"...A gathering of all kingdoms? What purpose does it serve?"
Akira:
(Low and defining)
"Every leader will stand together. The Grand Event dictates alliances, conflicts, and unknown shifts in power."
Her voice did not falter, her certainty did not waver--but now, Seraphina inhaled softly, concern flickering behind her words.
Seraphina Nyx:
(Breathless and worry)
"...Does this mean Void ling will need to be present too?"
Kaito:
(Low and inquiry)
"...Void ling? Who is Void ling?"
His presence did not retreat, his certainty did not waver--but now, Ryuu's expression shifted slightly.
Ryuu:
(Whispering to himself)
"...Dammit, He can't know Lord Ryder is training Void ling. As it stands , they believe Ryder is still sleeping."
Celestina:
(Low and deliberate)
"Void ling? He is merely a traveler--a wandering swordsman who passed through long ago."
Kaito:
(Smiled)
"...Ryuu. As the commander of the Crimson Slayers, you understand that lying to me means a fight, right?"
Rin:
(Soft and defining)
"... This has shifted faster than expected."
Her presence remained steady, her certainty did not retreat--but now. Yuki glanced toward Celestina.
Yuki:
(Rare insights)
"...Intresting how quickly the atmosphere changes when a name is spoken."
Ryoma:
(Low and rare calculation)
"...This Void ling. If he is insignificant, why did tension spike the moment his name was mentioned?".
And then--he finalized the moment completely. Ryuu spoke, his voice wa low and pressing forward with rare certainty
Ryuu:
(Low and command)
"This conversation ends here."
Kaito:
(Low and assurance)
"...it's okay. We aren't like the other kingdoms who would pick a fight over secrecy."
His presence did not falter, his certainty absolute--but now, Glacior narrowed his gaze slightly.
Glacior:
(Low and defining)
"...Then why were you surprised, King Kaito?"
Kaito:
(Low and defining)
"...Because secrets are dangerous, Glacior. The moment something is hidden, it means there's a reason for it.".
Akira:
(Low and defining)
"Tell me, Commander Ryuu...Who is Void ling?"
Ryuu:
(Low and defining)
"...Void ling is not just a warrior. He is a force being shaped for something greater."
His breath remained controlled, his presence did not retreat--but now, Blaze smirked slightly.
Blaze Vortex:
(Low and rare confidence)
"Greater how? Because from what I've seen, Void ling doesn't do anything halfway."
Kai:
(Low and defining)
"...If Void ling is absent during a kingdom wide event, then whatever training he's undergoing must be beyond ordinary refinement."
Meanwhile we move on to Void ling training, the chamber stood at the center, his breath controlled, his stance unwavering. This was DAY 5--DIMENSIONAL SURGE. A trial that would shatter every concept of speed, forcing him to wield NIHILISTIC REBIRTH, ensuring movement beyond morality and time itself
Ryder:
(Low and defining)
"Void ling, this is your fifth day."
His presence did not falter, his certainty remained absolute--but now, Void ling inhaled slightly, his breath steady. And then spoke
Ryder:
(Low and defining)
"Dimensional Surge. This trial is not about strength. It is about speed beyond comprehension--velocity beyond reality."
Void ling:
(Low and defining)
"Speed beyond limits."
Ryder:
(Low and calculation)
"To master this, you must activate Nihilistic Rebirth. The moment you move,your entire existence will break from the fabric of time--return only if you control the acceleration."
Void ling:
(Rare and determination)
"...Then let's begin."
Ryder stance did not waver--his breath controlled,his gaze unwavering. And then--he stepped forward, voicd edged with rare precision.
Ryder:
(Low and commanding)
"Void ling, before you step into Dimensional Surge, there is one final truth you must understand."
Void ling:
(Eyes serious)
"...What truth?"
Ryder:
(Sovereign command)
"You will move faster than reality can comprehend--but velocity alone will not save you. The trial is not just about speed. It is about control."
His presence did not waver, but now Void king absorbed the words completely. And then--he acknowledged them effortlessly.
Void ling:
(Low and calculation)
"...Control?"
Ryder:
(Calm and smirked)
"Speed without stability tears the user apart. If you accelerate without balance, you will cease to exist--not as death, but as erasure. Every atom of your being will scatter across infinity.".
His certainty remained absolute,his presence did not waver--but now, Void ling exhaled slightly, absorbing the weight of the warning
Void ling:
(Low and calculation)
"...Understood. I will control it."
Ryder:
(Low snd awarness)
"Before you accelerate, before you break the boundary of motion itself, there is one last action required."
Void ling:
(Rare calculation)
"And which are?"
Ryder:
(Precision and control)
"Your core. Dimensional Surge does not begin with movement. It begins with stabilization. If your essence fractures when you accelerate, you will lose control. Anchor your presence--merge your will with existence before velocity takes hold."
His certainty did not waver, his breath remained solid--but now, Void ling clenched his fist slightly. And then--he absorbed the knowledge completely.
Void ling:
(Rare resolution)
"...Then i will anchor myself first."
His presence did not retreat, his certainty did not falter--but now. The chamber responded. Because now--Void ling's essence began stabilizing.
THIS ENSURES RYDER PROVIDES A FINAL INSTRUCTION, ENSURING VOID LING FULLY UNDERSTANDS THE NECESSITY OF ANCHORING HIS CORE BEFORE ACCELERATION TAKES EFFECT
