Faraday University, Rex’s room.
Kyran just finished torturing the maid,
“That’s all I know!! Pwease just kwhill me!”, the maid said unclearly.
It looks like Kyran cut off a bit of her tongue, and that is what makes the maid talk weirdly.
After the maid pleaded for mercy, Kyran smirk evilly, “Is that really all? If you’re not convincing enough then I might do something else to you”
“Noh! I swear!”, the maid replied hurriedly in fright.
Kyran squint his eyes before he approaches the maid slowly,
Evey steps that he takes make the maid’s heart beat faster, it’s like a horror movie but the difference is that this one is real.
If Kyran decided to torture her more, then he might just break her mind.
He then rests his hand on the maid’s shoulder making her body shiver, Kyran then brings her mouth closer to the maid’s ear before he said, “I believe you…”
Right after he said that Kyran slit her throat with a knife cleanly.
Splurt!!
Blood gushed out of her neck like a fountain as Kyran walks away, his expression is strangely stoic as if the smell or sound of blood didn’t bother him.
The maid’s head is already tilting to the side bloodied with a gaping slashing wound on her neck, it’s clear that she’s already dead.
Her body suffers many inconceivable injuries that are displeasing to the eye.
Kyran pull out all of her fingernails one by one, ripped many little chunks of her skin, and even her face is full of injuries that is hard to look at.
Rex gave Kyran the Pain Amplifier before he left,
The Pain Amplifier enhanced the pain inflicted to the maid by a few times, this makes the time that the maid is tortured even more like a living hell.
If one pays close attention to the maid’s corpse, one can feel the dark mana around her body.
With his newfound dark element, Kyran can do many new things without even learning it and during the torturing process, the dark element inside of him whispers lightly.
The dark element told Kyran to invade the maid’s body with dark mana, and he did exactly that.
Kyran was surprised when the dark mana invaded the maid’s body,
It didn’t give off any kinds of evident changes, but the maid’s scream becomes even louder when he tortured her after invading her with dark mana.
From the looks of it, the dark mana has pain amplifier ability too.
Kyran started to clean the blood on him with a towel calmly.
After about five minutes later, Kyran cleans up the blood that manages to dirty the carpet floor before putting the corpse in a big black bag.
He then wipes the sweat on his forehead before leaving the room.
Stuart can be instantly seen standing beside the door,
Rex already told Stuart about what Kyran is doing and strangely, Stuart is not bothered by the scream of the maid because he too hated the maid.
“The room is still reek of blood, can you clean it up?”, Kyran asks.
Stuart bowed his body lightly before he said, “Give me the corpse, I’m instructed by Rex to dispose it in your stead”
Hearing this, Kyran gave the big bag to Stuart before he nodded his head.
After receiving the bag with the maid’s corpse inside of it, Stuart instantly leaves the room leaving Kyran alone in the room.
The other butler can’t be seen anywhere,
Clarice who Rex just interrogated leaves the room early right after Rex left, while Ryze rarely stays inside the room because he’s playing with Delta.
Kyran then wanted to leave to meet up with Rex and the others, but then suddenly,
Sob…Sob…
A sobbing sound can be heard lightly that can hardly be heard, but Kyran caught it perfectly and it’s coming from Rosie’s room.
With light steps, Kyran approached Rosie’s room.
Kyran stopped in front of Rosie’s room and find that the door is closed shut,
He then reaches out his hand before twisting the handle to open the door, and to his surprise, the door is not locked as he opens the door a little.
Upon opening the door, Kyran saw the room is dimly lighted.
The room is not completely dark thanks to the lights from the dressing table, it gives the room a little bit of light but that doesn’t matter for Kyran.
With his night vision ability, Kyan can see Rosie sitting in front of the dressing table.
Her shoulders are shaky as she sobbed lightly making Kyran frown,
But now that Kyran thought about it, it’s clear that Rosie doesn’t want to be disturbed so he closed the door again before leaving the room quietly.
Unknown to Kyran, Rosie is crying while holding two items in her hand.
The two items don’t emit any kind of aura unlike when Adhara saw them, and it is clear that they’re already been used.
“Why is the world so unfair…”, Rosie mumbles lightly.
She wipes tears from her cheek roughly while looking at the two used items.
After gritting her teeth remembering what just happened before, Rosie looks up to see her reflection in the mirror.
Her hazel eyes glow because of the light shining in front of her, brown curly hairs that usually look beautiful are now messy and tangled, and her face is also a mess from the sobbing earlier.
“Why won’t anything be good for a moment…”,
“Why can’t I be talented…”, Rosie mumbles to herself.
“WHY!!”, she suddenly shouted.
PRANG!!
In a fit of anger, Rosie takes anything that she can take from the dressing table and started throwing all of them to the wall.
“He will leave me at this rate! I don’t want him to leave me again!”
But a moment after that, she fall to the ground crying.
Her cries can’t be heard by anyone because the room is empty,
It went on for ten minutes of non-stop crying profusely, she then stopped before she sits back down in front of the dressing table again with a more haggard look.
While looking at the reflection, Rosie gritted her teeth, “I need to get stronger…”
“I don’t care how anymore…”, she mumbles with determination.
Meanwhile,
Kyran went to the garden to find Delta there,
Before Rex left, he told Kyran to fetch Delta because they will need her.
The place that they’re about to go is a mountainous area with little to no good roads, so they will rely on Delta in climbing it.
With the mastery of the white Force, and her insane physique.
Delta should be able to carry the four of them easily, heck Rex will even believe that Delta will be able to carry a dozen of people at once with no problem at all.
Arriving at the garden, many students are gathered there.
Kyran can feel a slight tremble on the ground, and it comes from where Delta should be.
“Excuse me”
“Excuse me”
Kyran went through the students that are crowding the place, and when he arrived at the front he saw Ryze riding Delta as Delta jumps around the place happily.
Looking at this, Kyran was at a loss for words.
Delta’s huge body makes the ground tremble whenever she lands on the ground roughly.
Many of the students here are gathered to see Delta playing with Ryze,
There are not many people who can see the creature that gives Rex the Zeragon title, and the Faraday University students gathered here to sight this event.
The event where Ryze plays with Delta,
“How strong do you think that wolf can get?”
“I think she’ll probably reach sixth rank max, I don’t think this wolf can reach the seventh rank”
“Nonsense, I think this wolf is almost as good as Zera’s mutated animal”
The students are discussing amongst themselves as Delta and Ryze play around, they didn’t even think of anything about the gathering students.
They are just enjoying their time playing, just like a kid should be.
Kyran then steps forwards making Delta and Ryze stop on their tracks, “Ryze, I’m going to borrow Delta for a few days because we need to go somewhere”
“Going where?”, Ryze asks curiously.
Kyran then replied, “We’re going with Rex”
Hearing Rex’s name being brought, Ryze immediately signals Delta to lower down before he jumped off from Delta’s back.
“When are you coming back?”, Ryze then asks innocently.
Kyran shrugged his shoulders while tapping Delta’s back and said, “I don’t know, probably a few days or a week max”
Ryze slumps his shoulders making Kyran feel bad.
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell Rex to hurry back”, Kyran said with a smile before he get on Delta’s back and left the university under everyone’s gaze.
But Delta didn’t forget to look back at Ryze one last time as Ryze waves his hand in goodbye.
After he got outside of the university’s ground,
Kyran shouted, “Ari!!”
Right after he shouted that Ari materializes out of nowhere beside him.
“You ready?”, Ari asks.
Kyran nodded his head but when Ari was about to get on Delta, Delta growls at him menacingly because she’s unfamiliar with him.
Looking at this, Ari smiles wryly before he erases the thought of riding Delta.
“Let’s go”, Kyran said before they both left for Lountain City, they will be meeting up with Rex and the others right beside the mountain where Lountain CIty is located.

Meanwhile,
“I told you to not eat that fruit! You almost gave me a heart attack!”, Adhara shouted, her heart dropped when she saw Rex suddenly pass out.
Even Edward stopped the car on the side of the road to check on him.
They’re currently on their way to Lountain City, but because Rex passed out suddenly their travels stopped for a moment to wait for him.
“We almost decided to bring you to the hospital”, Edward added with a slight chuckle.
Hearing this, Rex smile wryly, “I’m alright, you both should know that I won’t die that easily especially just by eating that fruit”
After he said that, Adhara then frowns remembering something.
“What happened after you eat the fruit? Your eyes glow white until you wake up”, Adhara asks, both she and Edward saw Rex’s eyes glow and they assume it’s because of the fruit.
Rex then remembered the vision that he had,
‘Is that the remnant the system talked about? What is the purpose of it’, Rex thought in confusion.
Based on what he remembered from that vision,
He was brought into ancient times to meet the white hair figure, but instead of saying anything, the figure started appearing and disappearing alongside the lightning strikes.
What the figure did doesn’t make any sense,
It’s closer to flex rather than saying something, and it pisses Rex off for some reason.
“Let’s just go, I’m okay now”, Rex said reassuringly.
Hearing this, Adhara and Edward studied Rex’s expression before Edward finally stepped on the gas and resume their journey.
While on the road, Rex’s mind is still in his vision.
‘System, Can you explain what the remnants are for?’
<Remnants inside the Sygate Ether Fruit contains information or something more like an insight, it will give any information randomly but all of them should have a hidden meaning>
Reading this, Rex nodded his head but then suddenly another voice interrupts him.
[That figure is the Ether Race, My Race]
Hearing the voice inside his head, Rex frowns for a moment ‘Did the system just talk? That never happened before’
[Are you mocking me?]
Rex then widened his eyes in surprise when he hear the voice again, ‘Who are you?! How can you infiltrate my mind!’, Rex asks warily.
The voice chuckles lightly, and the voice is familiar to Rex.
[You’re dumber than I thought! I can’t believe I, the one who is the strongest above the sky got beaten by a guy likes you]
Rex then widened his eyes in realization, ‘You’re Devo!’
[Of course, it’s me. Who else would it be?]
