Life After Prison

Severin was already a preparatory disciple of Midland’s Grandiuno Sacred Land. had a clear path ahead. Becoming a level five paragon would grant him passage to Midland, which he could attain within a year and a half due to his perfect-stage level two paragon attainment.

There should be no need to expose himself to the risks of the outside world when training in silence was more than enough to aid in his advancement. Had Oskar not intervened in time, Severin might have found himself in a dire predicament at the hands of the royal paragon from the Gahrrs. The wrath of such a powerhouse royal paragon could alter the terrain, leaving countless corpses and rivers of blood in its wake. A mere paragon could never be able to hold out against such power.

Severin remained silent and merely smiled. His expedition to the Fierce Beast Mountain was aimed at acquiring spiritual fire to enhance the Lotus Divine Attack, as that would equip him with additional trump cards. The Starry Sky Battlespace was a place where prodigies from major holy places, descendants of celestials, and evil practitioners would converge –Severin would be wise to remain vigilant as he had only a level two paragon attainment.

Gilda noticed Severin’s silence and approached him. “We should all be thankful that he came back safe,” she said comfortingly.

Grateful for her consideration, Severin apologized to the four women. “I won’t let that happen again.”

He acknowledged that he was still far too weak. Had he been a royal paragon, then even Clarkin would tread lightly and avoid venting out all that anger on him. If Severin had been a supreme paragon, then Clarkin might have apologized to him even though he had caused Sian’s death.

Severin retreated into seclusion after bidding farewell to Diane and the others. He sat cross-legged in his training room and initiated his exercises to familiarize himself with the Lotus Divine Attack.

The motion of channeling the technique caused two distinctly- colored flames to manifest on Severin’s body. The first was an icy, greenish Fire of Nine Ghosts; the second was the True-Sun Fire that was harnessed through the True-Sun Fist. As the two spiritual fires merged, they formed a lotus that exuded a destructive aura.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Several days later, dragon-like mists circulated around Severin, which he breathed in deeply. His hair began to float up, revealing his chiseled facial features and a glaze-like flawless complexion. As he sat cross-legged on the mat, he closed his eyes and relished in the change that was occurring in his body.

The fusion of the Lotus Divine Attack in his energy center seemed to reinvigorate him. The whistling sound of the fog that he exhaled added a touch of strength and mysticism to the scene. After some time, Severin opened his eyes and exhaled a powerful gust of excess energy that shot through the brick floor like a bullet, leaving a fist-sized hole.

Elated at the development, Severin glanced at the two spiritual fires within his energy center and saw a golden-green flaming lotus emitting a destructive aura as it spun.
