Sarriel stared at Ryu for a long while as though she was trying to decide what she wanted to say.She could tell that Ryu wasn't letting her go out of love. He was letting her go because of his ego.
Maybe he could already tell that she had feelings for him in some shape or form. But he wouldn't be satisfied until she admitted that. And the only way that she would is if he defeated her.
They both could seem to see through the thoughts of the other, but neither of them seemed to care to explain themselves either.
"[Truth Veil]"
Sarriel spoke lightly.
In that moment, all of her injuries vanished in the blink of an eye as though she had never been injured in the first place. It started off as nothing more than an illusion, but then the lines between illusion and reality blurred until it forced itself to be the one and only truth.
Her dress was now perfectly intact, as was her flesh and skin.
"What did I tell you about showing off in front of me?" Ryu asked with a smile.
Sarriel snorted, but then Ryu spoke again.
"[Fate Reversal]."
Sarriel, who had just returned to a perfect state, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood again, her chest exploding in a rain of pain.
Ryu took a step and caught her waist before she fell to the ground.
"I'm going to take this as half a victory. Be sure to remember this."
Ryu could have easily taken advantage of her body, but he did no such thing. He felt no desire for such cheap victories. When she fell into his bed, she would be begging for it.
Sarriel felt both enraged, embarrassed, and most importantly, in pain. He had
definitely done this on purpose. He hadn't even used [Fate Reversal] the entire battle, only to spring it on her now.
Since when could [Fate Reversal] be used so precisely and even bypass her defenses like that?
"Off you go."
A strong spatial warp surrounded Sarriel, and she was blinked away by his Spacetime
14:55 --
Soul Nature. She probably couldn't have resisted it even if she wanted to, but that was because he hadn't had any intentions of killing her in the first place.
Ryu stood to his full height, giving his now smooth and uninjured chest a look. Then, he looked above him to catch sight of the majestic white phoenix.
Even just flying silently there, it was exceptionally arrogant.
Ryu had been ignoring it for a while now. The moment he stepped onto the path of forging his own techniques and Dao Methods, he had also insisted on leaving it by the side.
If he relied too much on an item like this one, that wasn't truly his own in the first place, he would definitely pay for it eventually.
He had always known that it was a secondary solution to the problem with his Body Realm Method, but he had wanted to try to do it all on his own.
Ultimately, that voice had ended up appearing at the time he stood at a forked road. As for who that voice was... he was certain that t could only be one person. The Phoenix Sky God.
Ryu, though, was far more interested in this so-called "Nameless" one. They certainly had a name as well, but they seemed to have not allowed the Heavens to grant them a Title, nor did they choose to forge one themselves.
They were certainly an arrogant character... and precisely the kind of person that Ryu felt he would have to surpass if he ever wanted to reach the pinnacle of all there was.
However, whoever that person was, he was well beyond him. And before he could even think of getting to him, he certainly had to defeat this Phoenix Sky God first.
"Come."
The White Phoenix opened its wings and gorgeous white feathers dancing in white flames fell from the skies as it dove toward him, re-entering his dantian once more.
Ryu took a step, soaring into the skies with a valiant momentum. The carnage in the outside world didn't seem to have anything to do with him at all.
He took a breath and then he vanished.
When he appeared again, he was within a familiar Holy World. The situation inside hadn't changed much precisely because Ailsa had casually stepped out of it without doing much.
But now, he would just have to take it personally.
It was time to truly complete his Body Realm Cultivation Method before he lost his mind again.
DUDOOM. DUDOOM.
BANG!
A pillar exploded through the world, rising to the top and ripping through its hidden
canopy.
The world shook from side before it shattered to pieces.
Like the glass of a gorgeous array, Ryu appeared in the outside world once again. Beneath him, there was a magnificent shrine altar, the object that was none other than the third and final False Shrine.
It was completely ordinary. Unlike the others that were adorned in all sorts of special jewels and the like, this one was a simple wooden piece. It could have taken center stage at a normal mortal's church with how simple it was.
But this was precisely the last piece.
With this, everything would end.
Ryu could sense several powerful auras locking onto him, but neither one could get
close.
The one with the best chance was Dao God Shy. His battle with Hope was still ongoing, and neither one had gained a decisive advantage just yet, but it was also because of this that he had the best shot at peeling away.
However... Ryu didn't fear him.
The False Shrine shuddered, and it was sucked directly into Ryu's body.
BOOM!
A pillar of light that connected the Earth to the Heavens above enveloped Ryu.
At the same moment, his Realm Heart trembled, and the runes etched onto his bones
began to solidify.
That was when Ryu did something astonishing.
The cry of a Phoenix echoed once more.
