Fortunately, his spatial ring wasn’t destroyed. He released some of his mana and took out a pair of clothes and underwear.

Wearing black pants, a black shirt, and a purple jacket, he felt refreshed. He folded his shirt, looking at his pale skin.

"Damn! Although she is a bitch, her control over power is impressive."

Tyler muttered. After the previous incident, he no longer felt fear towards this woman.

At this moment, he could only think about the strange mastery of mana in his mind. It was an instinct he gained after she took control of his body.

It felt so weird yet strong. He felt like he could do much more than just increase his strength with his mana.

He could also heal his injuries, and he could also enhance his senses. Things that he should only be able to do at the next realm were possible for him in this realm.

Although there were still some restrictions due to his realm, like creating constructs out of his mana that he felt like he could do, he actually can’t.

It was mainly caused by his lack of access to mana directly.

As Alfred stated, only in the next realm would he have direct control over mana thanks to Mana Veins.

Using that direct contact, he would gain a greater level of mastery over it. That’s exactly what he was lacking right now.

Suddenly, he snapped his fingers, and a bright orange flame appeared above his middle finger.

"And, it seems like I have greater control over my flame. The heat produced by this flame is getting closer to the temperature of magma, but it’s not affecting anything around him."

He opened the palm of his left hand, and a bright blue flame appeared on his face.

"I didn’t know Azure Flame could block other flames. It seems like this flame has incredible defensive capabilities, but whether it is only for flames or other things remains unknown."

Thinking about how he wasn’t affected by the shockwave of the explosion despite being at its center, he knew just how powerful its defensive capabilities were.

During that time, he exploded the True Dragon Flame, and the tower instinctively sensed danger, opening a small gap in the first floor.

At that time, he had instinctively used the Azure Flame to cover himself, but when that woman released her power, its ability suddenly improved.

The improvement wasn’t temperature or power but rather the mastery and control over it.

This improvement was already ingrained in his mind, so he could also use the Azure Flame to create defense for himself.

Of course, even with such defense, he still suffered some damage, since it took her a little time to increase the Azure Flame’s ability.

"Nee?"

Shibyo made some noise while nudging his leg.

Tyler couldn’t help but give it an eye roll.

"Do you think I am a translator. How can I understand everything?"

Hearing that, Shibyo showed an embarrassed look before pointing at his flames.

"Oh? These! They are the two flames I merged with. This is Azure Flame, and this is True Dragon Flame."

"I had the Azure Flame Seed before meeting you, and this is a flame I got from that place."

He explained.

Hearing his explanation, Shibyo nodded but then shook its paw.

"You are asking how I absorbed these flames?"

Shibyo nodded.

Then, Tyler had no choice but to explain how he got the seed, how he nurtured it, and how he was able to devour the True Dragon Flame.

Shibyo was certainly surprised, but he quickly accepted it. Although these flames did threaten him to a certain degree, he still had an innate advantage over flames compared to Tyler.

Even though he wouldn’t be able to control his flames, he could still devour them, at least a portion of Azure Flame.

The True Dragon Flame was still too domineering for it to devour.

As they kept walking, it was already evening.

They decided to rest, but just when Tyler was making a bed, he sensed an incoming presence.

At first, he didn’t recognize it. This kind of sensory power was also something he developed through that woman’s help.

But unlike her, he didn’t have proper sensory capabilities before. At best, his sensory abilities were more tied to battle awareness.

So when he sensed a powerful person running towards him, he panicked. But it didn’t take long for that person to reach him.

Only when that person got closer, Tyler got a proper look at her.

"Elena!"

Tyler was stunned.

"Young Master!"

When Elena finally saw his face, she stopped and took a deep breath before shouting and jumping on him.

"I...I was so worried."

Tyler patted her back. He could feel her body trembling.

He realized she must have learned about the danger he faced through the destruction of those four beasts.

But even so, he hadn’t confirmed it, so he asked.

"Why did you suddenly come here?"

"That technique was destroyed. When those beasts are destroyed, a small portion of their mana returns to me."

"Young Master, what happened? What kind of trouble did you encounter?"

After she asked that, her eyes fell on a yellow cat. Her pupil shrank as she quickly pulled him behind her and asked.

"Young Master, is this your enemy?"

"No, no, he is my friend. This is Shibyo. Shibyo, this is Elena." Tyler quickly introduced them.

"Young Master, this is a Rank Three Beast."

Although Elena understood him, she still remembered the threat this beast carried.

"And, it’s a Yellow Cat. It will draw a lot of greedy people."

"Nee!"

Shibyo showed a dissatisfied look and shouted.

’You female human, don’t look down on me! I am not an ordinary Yellow Cat. With flame on my left and lightning on my right, I will be the most powerful Yellow Cat.’

His voice rang in her head, which surprised her for a moment.

"He is quite a loyal guy. Unless he wants to leave, I won’t just abandon him just because he brings more trouble."

Compared to the trouble brought by this cat, the trouble that he already had was immense. So, he didn’t really care about its identity.

As he spoke, he got no response from Elena for a moment, so he shook her hand and asked.

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem with keeping him?"

"Huh? No, I was just talking to him. He is quite a chunibyo."

"Oh! Yes, you are in the Soul Sublimation Realm. You can talk to him. So, what did he say?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

At this moment, Shibyo continued.

’Hmph! I am not some kind of teenager with a strange disease. I am the response of Heaven to the casualty of the Yellow Cat race.’

’I am the answer to those prayers from the Yellow Cat race. I am the punishment for those greedy people. I am Destiny.’

"I am not some kind of teenager with a strange disease. I am the response of Heaven to the casualty of the Yellow Cat race."

"I am the answer to those prayers from the Yellow Cat race. I am the punishment for those greedy people. I am Destiny."

"That’s what he said!"

Elena turned around as she finished speaking. She looked absolutely speechless, and so did Tyler after hearing that.

Because in Tyler’s mind, there was only one person worthy to be called Destiny, and his skin wasn’t yellow.

Tyler quickly shook off those thoughts and said.

"Since you are here, let’s make a bed for you. Then, we will go to sleep and continue our journey tomorrow."

"But you haven’t told me what happened."

"Don’t worry, I will tell you as we sleep."

Then, they started making hammocks. After hunting a large boar, they made a delicious meal and enjoyed it thoroughly.

After having their meal, they went to their hammock.

Shibyo simply jumped over Tyler’s head and slept above him.

Seeing this, Elena couldn’t help but ask.

"Young Master, he won’t start sleeping near you after we return home, right?"

Tyler immediately understood what she was asking about and shook his head.

"No, he will sleep in a different room."

He didn’t want Shibyo to disturb his private life.

But hearing his answer, Shibyo scratched him on the head and let out a disdainful meow.

"Young Master, he is saying ’You value sex over friends’."

"First of all, I didn’t ask you to follow me. Second, everyone needs privacy."

Tyler rolled his eyes and replied.

"Alright! Enough about that! Young Master, what happened? How was your trial? I learned that there are a total of three trials in this place."

"How many trials did you complete? Did you get that technique?"

Elena showered him with questions, some out of curiosity, and others out of concern.

"Hmm! I completed all three trials and received rewards better than what I expected. Now, I don’t need to worry about Dual Cultivation."

"As for the trouble, it was because of him."

Tyler took a deep breath before releasing a sigh.

"We faced three Soul Sublimation Realm cultivators."
