Succession [8]

The Holy Clans were eventually released from the void, but that happened much later. As Arulion first needed to reach a state where they could be brought out and people would trust that they were truly under control, they were left behind for the time being.

August was given access to the void so that he could connect with them until then and figure out what he wanted to do.

Though, that wasn't the only reason why Damien gave him access to that realm. He would be needing it for a long time in the future.

After all, the Liqua Clan would be stuck there, and rather than letting them rot and releasing them later, he thought it would be more fun to let August fight them whenever he wanted.

From now on, that entire clan was fated to be his training targets. They'd slowly be picked off or killed at once as he pleased, and the entire time, they'd be suffering the repercussions of betraying the Azure Dragon.
