Aftermath

The space was still crumbling. Due to Saber's and Oblivion's power levels, the last struggle seemed long but was merely a few seconds.

This was still a lot of time though. And the battle platform was almost completely destroyed by this time.

Oblivion was still hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the other end. He was this far from the other portal.

WAA!

Grabbing the Sword, his figure then disappeared. It once more reappeared in front of the portal.

He stepped into it without any hesitation!

...

...

WAA!!

A crack appeared in the skies over the wasteland. Though he was less than ten thousand feet away, Liam wasn't even able to sense it.

Stepping out of the crack, Oblivion made his way out now in his new clothing and a sword in his hand.

This sword...

The hilt was golden and the blade was dark red. There were many mysterious markings such as a moon, a sun, a skull, bones, and many more. Some were dimly lit while others weren't.

Gazing at the sword in his hand, Oblivion uttered.

"With me, you'll be able to grow much quicker!"

As if hearing his words, the sword released a dim white light as if displaying its affection and excitement.

Gazing toward the newly formed structure, Oblivion thought. 'Previously, I would have entered this so I could gain that sword treasure, but with this sword of mine, there isn't any reason to obtain a random lesser sword.'

He said in his mind while gazing at the sword in his hand. Thereafter, Oblivion chose a random direction which he began flying toward.

Without knowing it, Liam went about adventuring deeper into the passage.

...

Hell's Tower-Fifth Floor

Urgh!

Saber's consciousness was re-awakened after he was thrown into the portal. Shooting his eyes open, a sudden headache assaulted him. On his right side, Leviathan lay unconscious.

Argh!

Gritting his teeth, he slowly got up to his feet. His left hand was missing, his heart had been crushed and he also had a cracked skull... The worst part was the fact that he was unable to heal.

Saber never experienced such a sorry state. Slowly, he approached the pile of dead bodies. His eyes lit up into a bright blood red as he waved his right hand.

WAA!

In a flash of red light, the thousands of dead bodies floated into the air and exploded into a river of blood!!!

As if attracted to Saber, the river of blood rushed toward his figure, before completely washing over his body and submerging it into the blood.

...

A Few Hours Later on the fifth floor of Hell's Tower, one can see a blob of blood a few meters in size. It began at a size hundreds of meters big, but slowly, it shrank until, finally, one could see a humanoid form.

The blood then mysteriously dispersed into a red mist that permeated its surroundings!!

Exiting it, one could see Saber with long red hair and a pair of scarlet eyes that could seemingly stare into the depths of one's soul.

Shockingly, his left hand was present and his chest, which previously had a gaping hole, had healed.

All his injuries had disappeared as he successfully healed from all his injuries.

With the many elements, he had devoured which gave his constantly evolving body an increase at the rate it evolved, Saber's current power was at least three times more than when he had met Oblivion.

Even though his eyes released bouts of killing intent, he calmed down. Though his power has increased again, he still couldn't compare to Oblivion.

'I don't know what happened to that bastard but whoever gets in my way will all eventually die!' Saber thought with his eyes flickering with cold intent. Thereafter, he glimpsed toward the figure on the ground still unconscious...

"As a cyborg how can you be logging off merely by a kick in the head." Saber said while catching sight of the back of Leviathan's head which had cracks. Waving his hand, a golden aura exited Saber's palm and washed over Leviathan's body.

"Hmm?"

Leviathan slowly opened his eyes and assessed his surroundings.

"M... Master?!" Leviathan uttered in confusion upon seeing the red-haired man. He was incredibly handsome, almost devilishly. But, he didn't have time to kneel and pay his respects since he had sensed another lifeform nearby.

Quickly standing to his feet, he prepared to launch an attack...

"Wait!" Saber ordered.

Thereafter, a ripple in space occurred. Making her appearance in front of the shocked eyes of Leviathan, was an unbelievably seductive white-haired woman with a pair of scarlet eyes, similar to those of Saber.

"So you finally decided to be reborn as a full-blood?" The woman questioned with a superbly beautiful smile on her face.

"It wasn't by choice Senior-Sister..." Saber replied with a cold smile. Both pale-skinned figures stared at the eyes of the other.

They seemed indifferent and ruthless.

They were equally charming.

"How long have I told you to stop calling me that in private..." She said while suddenly appearing in front of Saber, embracing him in a sudden shocking action that caused Leviathan's eyes to lit up in even more confusion.

Who...

Who was this woman that dared to be soo close to his master?!

He wasn't furious, he simply didn't understand how stupid one can be. This... wasn't this simply courting one's death?

Puchi!!!

Saber's hand penetrated the woman's chest, within the expectation of Leviathan, as her heart was gripped by Saber.

Puchi!

Yanking his hand back out, Saber coldly said.

Tsk!

"How many times must I tell you, don't touch me, Adrianna!!!"

His words echoed in their surroundings. Right after, something beyond Leviathan's understanding took place as the female who we now knew as Adrianna, said with a bloody smile.

"But, did it not work? Now you say my name!!" Adrianna had a crazed smirk on her face as her own blood had splashed onto her face, making it a much more sadistic smile than normal.

Saber couldn't help but mentally nod his head. Though he usually didn't feel sexual attraction toward any species... this sadistic 'thing' standing in front of him surely did make his blood boil.

But, he wasn't having it... After all, he would have an eternity to enjoy his time after he killed Oblivion, and completely take over the whole of existence!!

Though he wasn't aware of the path he needed to take...

Though the thing which was guiding him... Zeno... had been taken by Oblivion... and seeing as Zeno didn't intervene, it meant he was simply a disposable pawn... Saber didn't lose hope.

He knew it.

He knew he was the chosen one...

"So, where is the master?" Saber questioned in his cold and emotionless voice while his eyes landed on Leviathan... With a mere signal, Leviathan nodded and turn into a streak of light that entered Saber's body!

"Oh... He went back up to the Second Floor. He said he'll be waiting for us to make our way to him."

Adrianna quickly replied while latching on to Saber's arm. Seeing this, Saber only sighed. Whatever she had experienced in the Tower before he met her, it made her crazed for him much more than the last time he saw her...

But he didn't mind it....

Definitely, it was much better to have one more ally than an enemy. Especially an ally that would do anything one asked them to, even if it was neigh suicide!
