Blade [5]

"Huu…"

"Huu…"

Two deep exhales resounded as one. Damien and Su Ren closed their eyes before slowly allowing them to flutter open, clear and unperturbed.

The two men stared at each other for a single moment before their faces broke into wide grins.

"That was amazing!" Damien exclaimed fervently.

"Indeed, I never thought I would witness such a sight in my life," Su Ren said, his voice steady and filled with reverence.

"Is that the height we aim for?"

Damien shook his head, an air of confidence surrounding his body. Nothing changed, but something about him felt different. He carried in his natural gait the slight aura of an emperor above the mortal world.

"No, we're aiming higher," he responded firmly.

Su Ren's eyes widened.

Indeed, he was not aiming for a glimpse of Divinity, his goal was to surpass the peak of everything.

A slight chuckle left his mouth.
