"Go on... what happened next? And how did you end up in the Identity Prison in the first place?" Void said in a low but firm voice.
Niraval paused, as if the mories weighed heavily on his chest, then said, "I left the family. I left... and nobody cared."
He raised his head slightly, his eyes gleaming with malice. "I traveled through the Ten Kingdoms. I was after power... nothing else. Because I knew my level back then wasn’t enough to defeat my father, Adrian. I fought countless battles. I wreaked havoc in every kingdom I entered."
He smiled. "And I beca wanted by everyone. A group of people followed ... so who were seeking revenge like . And others... just wanted to spread terror and destruction."
He took a deep breath. "Four years passed since I left the family ho..."
Then his voice changed abruptly. "Until I heard the news."
He clenched his fist. "That my father, Adrian... activated the Warrior Realm skill. And created a world of his own."
His aura exploded for a mont. "I was furious. All those years of fighting, of pain, of striving for power... all for nothing. But then... I rembered sothing."
He raised his head and looked directly at Void. "The Ti Chamber. Through it... one can reach the Founder Realm. That’s why... I went. I went... and those who followed . To the family mansion."
He said in a dark tone, "And I had two goals. First: to go to the Founder Realm and fight Adrian. Second: to beco the Dark Family King in his place. I reached the mansion... and declared war on the Dark Kingdom."
He lowered his voice. "My brothers opposed ."
Then he laughed bitterly. "And here... was the surprise. The criminals who followed ... betrayed . They allied with my family. And they overthrew ."
He gritted his teeth. "I was defeated. And I learned from one of my brothers... that even if I won and entered the Ti Chamber... I wouldn’t be able to reach my father Realm. Because that Realm... needs a key. And Adrian... hid it."
He fell silent. Then, with chilling coldness, he said, "And then... I was imprisoned in the Identity Prison."
After a short silence, Void said, "Your story... is sowhat moving. But it doesn’t excuse why you attacked Saruto father."
Niraval smiled. "So... you still don’t know."
"Know what?" Void snapped.
Niraval took a step closer, his voice growing heavier. "The Dark Family Code. To beco the Dark King... you must kill the current king. Or he must pass the throne to you himself."
In his subconscious, Saruto was listening, the shock hitting him like a thunderbolt. Void said slowly, "So... you wanted to kill Saruto father to beco king."
"Yes," Niraval replied without hesitation. "The throne... is mine."
In an instant, Void vanished. He reappeared before Niraval. He delivered a massive punch that sent him flying. "Not while I’m here!" Void voice shook the room. "I am Saruto partner in this body. What belongs to him... is mine. And his father... is my father. And I won’t let you touch him."
Saruto father, Foreman, was still kneeling, blood dripping from his body, leaning against his sword. He watched the fight with eyes heavy with pain. Nerval slowly rose. "We’ll see," he said with a cold smile.
He ford his weapon. He charged. Void ford his weapon in turn, and the fight erupted. Rapid blows, violent collisions, sparks of energy tearing through space. Nerval grabbed Void arm and delivered a powerful kick to his stomach. Then he hurled him away.
Void flew through the air, and in that instant, he noticed sothing. Nerval was heading for the king. Void regained his balance with full speed and charged with all his might. "You coward!" he shouted. "I am your opponent!"
Nerval laughed. Within his consciousness, Saruto spoke, his voice seething with rage: "Void... hand over control."
Void paused. Then he said, "...Alright."
And he handed it over. Saruto returned. He activated his teleportation skill and appeared beside his father. Niraval froze. He said with genuine surprise,
"You’re all right, boy... but... you’re not the only one who can use it."
He raised his hand. He placed two fingers on his forehead. And he vanished. He reappeared before the king. He said in a terrifyingly calm voice, "This... is the end for you."
And he delivered a single blow that pierced straight through his heart. Ti froze. Saruto eyes widened. His voice caught in his throat. And everything fell into a deathly silence.
