Legacy of the Dark Sage

Chapter 1128: Reunion (1)

Kyran and Myst completed the gate that could connect the two realms without problems. The only two things left to do were to wait for the gate on the other side of the Regis Terram, which was in the Lower Realm, to be completed. After that, they would connect the two to form a path to both realms.

"Your timing is truly impeccable, Young Master. I was having some reservations about using that item to activate the last phase with those formulas," Myst said, his voice carrying a palpable sense of relief as she looked at Kyran.

The item Myst was referring to was something Kyran left behind that was imbued with Void magic energy. Since he did not know when he would return from what he set out to do, he decided to leave that item so Myst could easily activate the last part, which consisted of formulas written in Void runes.

"I made the formula to require absorbing the needed magic energy to trigger," Kyran replied, shaking his head at Myst with a wry smile. "There is no need to work yourself up."

"Even if you say that, the Void's nature is too scary for someone like me to control, Young Master," Myst replied with a sigh.

Kyran simply shook his head in response. He more or less understood Myst's concern about releasing the Void magic energy in the item he left behind. If Myst fails to release it into the array properly, it might destroy the already finished part, rendering the whole array useless.

But Kyran knew the nature of his magic more than anyone, which was why he created the formula and the item to complement each other, allowing anyone who released the Void magic energy in the item to be absorbed into the array without problems.

Anyhow, that was no longer important. Now that the gate on their end was completed, their part was mostly finished.

"You did a good job completing the array by yourself," Kyran commended Myst.

Myst scratched his head, somewhat bashful at receiving a compliment, and said, "I only did it because of Lady Ames's assistance."

"You don't have to lie. She probably only ensured you have enough magic energy to continue working on the array."

Myst looked at Kyran with raised brows, "How did you— did Lady Ames confess everything?"

Kyran only chuckled at Myst's bewildered expression.

"Go rest for now. I'll ask Lady Ames to continue watching over this side. I'd like to stay and do that, but she said there are some delays in the Array Creation on Raya's side. I have to check on them."

"If that's the case, I can go with you, Young Master. I may be able to offer some assistance, even if a little."

"No," Kyran shook his head and pat Myst on the shoulder. "You mostly completed this array on your own. You'll soon feel the mental strain and may suffer some backlash if you don't get proper rest."

"But..." Myst's expression turned serious as his eyes glowed silver and his pupils turned into slits, proof that he activated the dragon blood in his system. "I could say the same with you, Young Master. You don't normally release your aura and presence, but seeing you right now, there are cracks where your aura leaks out.

The aura itself doesn't produce any specific type of energy, but the fact that you can't even contain them because of those cracks meant you are suffering internally at this moment."

"I'm fine—."

"You're not," Myst interrupted, looking sternly at Kyran. "You may have surpassed us in terms of magic knowledge and strength but we are still your seniors. At times like this, you need to listen to your senior's advice properly."

Myst was speechless when Ames's voice reverberated within the Regis Terram's space. He did expect the latter to have the capability to hear them, given her natural heightened hearing senses, but he was still surprised to hear her.

[Before you go, though. What do you plan on doing with the Blade Dancer mage you brought along?]

"B-Blade Dancer mage?" Myst shouted in surprise as he gaped at Kyran. "Young Master, you... did you kidnap someone again?"

"I don't—" Kyran stopped midway through explaining himself and ended up groaning in exasperation. He did not expect that Myst knew about the 'kidnap' gag about him.

"I'll bring her and Lady Leif to Coelus's Corpse's seal."

[Aren't you afraid my Father or the aides there will kill them on sight?]

"I won't let that happen."

[Father may give you a chance to explain why they were there, but those aides...]

"Will they really take action without the Dragon Emperor's consent?"

[...Depending on the situation.]

"They're with me. I trust they would not do anything stupid just because they don't like me or because those two are outsiders."

[You're free to try your luck then. But do remember that you have been warned.]

"I will," Kyran replied to Ames.

Kyran and Myst cleaned up the space around the gate before meeting Ames, Alta, and Leif on the other side of the translucent veil.

Once they stepped out, Alta was the first to react. Her expression darkened after seeing another mage with the same dark hair and gray eyes as Kyran.

"Is it really that strange to see someone with dark hair and eyes?" Kyran asked, seemingly having guessed Alta's thoughts.

"Yes," Alta answered, not even making an excuse.

"You'll get used to it," Kyran told her in a dismissive attitude. "Let's go."

The moment he said that and a purple disc appeared beneath their feet, Alta's complexion paled at once.

"W-Wait just a second—!"

Her request had gone on deaf ears because Kyran warped them without even a pause.
