Outside the general's quarters, Mira stood quietly, her vigilant eyes tracking the movents of the cursed warriors. They had resud their positions after the earlier distraction Pyris had created, their grotesque, blank stares betraying no awareness of their surroundings.
Mira found herself watching them closely, though her mind wandered, as the unsettling nature of their mindless obedience to General Kassius gnawed at her.
These were once real people, now nothing more than puppets to the arcane gauntlet's power.
As she waited in the eerie silence, a sudden, unmistakable sound echoed from the room where Pyris had disappeared.
A woman's moan!
Mira's eyes widened, a blush creeping across her cheeks. The moans grew louder, more desperate, unabashed. She imdiately realized what was happening. "Young Lord..." she whispered, her voice barely audible, though tinged with disbelief.
Her cheeks turned bright red as the noises continued, the woman's voice echoing in the stillness of the castle halls. Mira shifted uncomfortably, feeling heat rise in her face. This was not sothing she was prepared for. Pyris had been handling a dangerous situation, yet... he seed to be handling sothing else altogether now.
She wasn't innocent, it was the actual opposite but maybe it was her sudden shift in the way she viewed Pyris that made her embarrassed and even going as far as using her void to look inside the room
"The... size," she voice gasped from when she peaked, causing her to choke slightly in embarrassnt.
The guards stood motionless, completely unaware of the activities unfolding within. "These guys..." Mira muttered, looking at the cursed warriors. "They're completely mindless!"
They didn't so much as flinch at the sound, their deadened gazes locked in place as if they existed only to guard.
For once, she was grateful for their lack of awareness.
Minutes or two hours passed, and the woman's moans gradually began to quiet, but Mira's curiosity—and a growing sense of responsibility—compelled her to act. Her Young Lord was in there, after all.
And perhaps... it wasn't just what she thought.
She swa he was done and in the process of absorbing the essence of a Rank 17, and she had to be sure all was well.
With a surge of her Void elent, Mira extended her senses through the walls, peering into the room through the dinsional fold.
"W-What's with the monstrous size?!" she couldn't help yelp in surprise again, her face flushed with a mixture of shock and embarrassnt. This ti, she didn't dare look again. She turned her attention back to the hallway, cheeks burning, doing her best to maintain her professional composure.
But just as the embarrassnt died down, a powerful surge of energy pulsed from the room—a sudden aura that made her heart stop. Pyris' essence was exploding outward. He was ascending.
"Young Lord..."
Mira reacted imdiately.
The sheer force of his elental surge would have alerted the entire castle, not to ntion any potential enemies within miles.
Without hesitation, she summoned her Void magic, cloaking the entire room within an impenetrable do of darkness. The barrier absorbed every ripple of energy, sound, and light.
Inside the void, nothing could escape, no trace of Pyris' growing power could be sensed beyond those walls.
Even with the void do, Mira could still feel the intensity of his ascension vibrating through the air. She silently secured the castle, her mind racing.
The cursed guards remained unaware of what was transpiring, and for now, that was all that mattered.
Steeling herself, Mira entered the room.

Pyris sat cross-legged on the floor, his body radiating a powerful elental glow, eyes blazing with the intensity of his awakening. The very air around him felt alive, charged with the essence of multiple elents, swirling in perfect harmony.
As Mira stood quietly, the room grew heavy. The atmosphere was dense with power, and she could sense it—the magnitude of his breakthrough.
Suddenly, an even more powerful aura erupted from Pyris.

As the system's voice faded, the Elental Sovereign's Aura surged forward in a massive wave, breaking through Pyris' body and expanding outward. The power was imnse—far greater than anything he had experienced before.
The room shook, the very walls straining against the magnitude of his awakening.
Each elent pulsed with life around him, manifesting in perfect harmony. Golden lightning crackled across his skin, fire burned in his eyes, and wind whipped around him like a hurricane. Earth trembled beneath him, and ice froze the very air he breathed.
The void clung to him like a shadow, while light radiated from him with divine intensity.
The room was a maelstrom of raw power.
Pyris' presence beca overwhelming. Space warped under his control, bending reality to his will. The very shadows in the room seed to bow to him, and ti itself felt as though it had montarily frozen.
Mira stood in awe, watching the spectacle unfold. She could see his power—feel it—sothing far beyond even her expectations. Her Void magic kept the eruption contained, but she knew that had she not acted swiftly, the entire empire would have sensed this transcendence.
As the energy settled, Pyris opened his eyes, now glowing with the brilliant light of divine power. The intensity of his elents still radiated from his body, though controlled now—held in check by his will.

He looked up at Mira, a small, knowing smile on his lips. "It's done."
Mira let out a soft breath, her own expression still one of awe and respect. "Young Lord… you've beco sothing… truly incredible."
Pyris stood, the energy around him rippling as he rose to his feet. He flexed his fingers, feeling the imnse power coursing through him, the sheer magnitude of his abilities fully awakened.
"Elental Sovereign," he whispered to himself, testing the weight of the title that ca with his new power.
Mira stepped forward, her voice now filled with her usual calm resolve. "Your ascension went unnoticed, thanks to the void do. But we must act swiftly. The castle is still secure, and the guards remain mindless." She paused, looking at him seriously. "What's our next move?"
She offered him another set of clothes amid her embarrassnt.
Pyris chuckled softly, glancing at the now-silent form of Ammit on the bed. "We complete the mission. Then we claim what's ours." He dressed properly with her help.
As his words hung in the air, his aura pulsed once more, his newly awakened power simring just beneath the surface, ready to be unleashed when the ti ca.
The Elental Sovereign had risen. And nothing would stand in his way.
