00:00I stood beneath the binding altar of Ironhaven Academy, watching the instructor scan the list.
00:05After Lyra Ashford's name came mine, Kale Voss.
00:09I stepped onto the platform. The four pillars blazed to light.
00:12Blinding white light from the binding formation closed around me.
00:16One thought burned in my mind.
00:18This world is overrun with beasts, and humanity learned to bind and command them.
00:23My bound beast awakens today.
00:26I pressed my palm to the dim crystal orb and whispered,
00:29Come forth, the beast that is mine.
00:33Golden light erupted from within me.
00:35Two columns, one crimson, one black, tore through the clouds.
00:40He summoned two beasts at once!
00:42The red column dissolved.
00:44A blazing dragon emerged, wreathed in roaring flame.
00:50The black column faded.
00:51A shadow cat dropped silently to the ground and rubbed against my leg.
00:56Too bad. The second one's F-ranked trash.
00:59I scanned the crowd.
01:00My girlfriend, Lyra Ashford, stood there.
01:03She just failed to bind.
01:05Even if the binding went wrong, it doesn't matter, Lyra.
01:09I'll protect you.
01:10Then Lyra sprinted up onto the altar.
01:14Instructor, that dragon is mine.
01:20Lyra?
01:23What are you saying?
01:25Kale tampered with my binding.
01:27What kind of gutter trash from the Ashporter could ever summon two beasts on his own?
01:32Just think the lamp core winding there.
01:35Someone like you could never pull this off.
01:37Everyone knows it.
01:39The blazing dragon stepped past me and moved to Lyra's side.
01:42It turned and snarled.
01:44I stared it down.
01:46You are my bound beast.
01:47Who gave you permission to move?
01:49You're not my master.
01:51You never were.
01:54Lyra stroked its neck, satisfied.
01:56Exactly.
01:58Only I have the resources to raise a blazing dragon properly.
02:02Turns out he's scum.
02:04Get out of Iron Heaven Academy!
02:07Kale Voss.
02:08Violation of Academy Code.
02:10Attempted theft of another student's bound beaster.
02:12You're expelled.
02:13You're taking her word alone.
02:15You call yourself an instructor?
02:16You think Lyra Ashford, top of the entire Academy from a distinguished family,
02:20would frame someone from the Ash Quarter?
02:22I held its gaze.
02:23Top of the Academy?
02:24Without my tutoring, she wouldn't crack the top ten!
02:28Someone called out.
02:29Right.
02:30And maybe she wrote your essays, too.
02:32Kale, we're done.
02:34I don't know what I was thinking.
02:36She glanced at the shadow cat by my feet.
02:39F-rank trash suits you perfectly.
02:42Though knowing you, you'll struggle to even feed it.
02:44I clenched my fist.
02:45Then a blue screen snapped open in front of my eyes.
02:48Divine Beast Binder System.
02:50Online.
02:51Quest.
02:52Break up with Lyra Ashford.
02:54I stared at the quest details on the system screen.
02:57Breath coming fast.
02:58Six rank.
02:59Upgraded a million times over.
03:01That would push far beyond SSS rank.
03:04I look at Lyra and kept my voice flat.
03:06Fine.
03:07As you wish.
03:08I turned to the Blazing Dragon.
03:10As for you,
03:11I hope you won't regret this.
03:15Kale, after this is over, don't go around talking about us.
03:21I don't want people knowing I had a nobody like you for an X.
03:27Warning.
03:28Energy release during Shadow Cat's upgrade is projected to level Iron Health entire.
03:34My brow snapped together.
03:36I looked at the instructor, at the students of Ironhaven Academy.
03:39Then I tore my Academy crest off and dropped it on the ground.
03:45From this moment, I have nothing to do with Ironhavel Academy.
03:48I turned and walked away.
03:49Meanwhile, at Ironhaven Guard Corps headquarters,
03:52her cousin, Roland Ashford, was already there.
03:55He held out a crystal, pulsing the flame.
03:57This is an S-Rank Fire Tribute Beast Corps.
03:59Once Inks absorbs it, he'll advance straight to S-Rank.
04:03Lyra pressed the core against the dragon.
04:05A column of light exploded skyward.
04:07When the radiance faded,
04:09Ignis' presence had surged beyond recognition.
04:11Ignis.
04:12Blazing Dragon S-Rank.
04:14I'm an S-Rank Beast Binder now!
04:16Thank you, Roland!
04:18S-Rank Beast hinders.
04:20The entire Alliance sees fewer than five a year.
04:23Once you grow into your power,
04:25the Ashford name will want for nothing.
04:27Lyra's smile turned cold.
04:29She thought in her mind,
04:32Someday I'll be the Alliance's finest Beast Binder,
04:34and Kale Voss, that nobody,
04:37will spend the rest of his life beneath my feet.
04:40The next day, I pulled on a mask,
04:42shouldered my pack,
04:44and headed deep into the forest.
04:45It was on the far edge of Ironhaven.
04:47Nyx stood quietly on my shoulder the whole way.
04:50The blue system screen blinked open in front of me,
04:53asking whether to upgrade the Shadowcat.
04:55I drew a slow breath.
04:56Yes.
04:57System.
04:57Upgrade complete.
04:59Shadowcat has evolved.
05:00Void.
05:01Bang.
05:01In an instant,
05:02Nyx blazed with golden light.
05:04A massive pillar tore through the sky
05:06and swept across the earth,
05:08leaving nothing but empty craters in its wake.
05:10Across Ironhaven,
05:12Beast Binders stopped and stared.
05:14A beast manifestation?
05:16It is.
05:18But the scale is way beyond S-Rake.
05:20Is that, is that,
05:21SSS?
05:22In the rubble,
05:23Nyx landed back on my shoulder
05:24and pressed her face against mine.
05:27Purple markings had appeared along her fur.
05:29I checked the system screen.
05:30Her rank had reached World Breaker class.
05:33Potential beyond anything this world had seen.
05:36I scratched behind her ears.
05:37Nyx.
05:39That's your name now.
05:40We're going to the top together.
05:45I rubbed my chin.
05:46Right now,
05:47you can level a continent in one breath.
05:49But everything else is still untrained.
05:52New quest.
05:53Slay 10 City Razor Class Beasts.
05:56Reward.
05:56Divine Rank Talent.
05:58I'd seen what Divine Rank Talents
06:00could do for a beast in combat.
06:03The picture was clear.
06:05Just as we turned to leave,
06:07a roar split the air.
06:10Commander Thorn descended on a war eagle.
06:12His companions dropped from a griffin
06:14and a giant butterfly,
06:16landing in a line across my path.
06:18Thorn surveyed the craters around us.
06:20Kid.
06:21You cause this much damage
06:23on the outskirts of Ironheaven
06:24and just walk away?
06:25That's not how this works.
06:27Join Ironheaven University
06:29and I'll let it go.
06:30I looked the three of them over.
06:32Three City Razor Class Beastbinders.
06:36Let it go?
06:38Three City Razors.
06:40You really think you're in a position
06:42to say that?
06:43Nyx exhaled in their direction.
06:44A purple light pressed down.
06:46All three of them and their beasts
06:48slammed flat against the ground.
06:50The earth cracked beneath them.
06:52I looked down at them
06:53from where I stood.
06:53Be grateful.
06:54All you wanted to do
06:55was threaten me.
06:57I walked away with Nyx.
06:59Behind me,
07:00the three of them lay sprawled
07:02in the dirt,
07:02unable to so much as stand.
07:04Lyra and Roland walked into the office.
07:06Dean Hartwell was already waiting.
07:08Lyra, this is Vice-Carminal Hartwell
07:10of the Imperial Academy.
07:11Hartwell studied her.
07:13The S-Rake Beastbinder
07:14who triggered that manifestation
07:15at Guard Corps headquarters yesterday?
07:17That was you?
07:18My cousin?
07:19Vice-Chancellor Hartfield.
07:21I'm Lyra Ashfield.
07:23Hartwell didn't hesitate.
07:24How would you feel
07:25about an exceptional admission
07:26to the Imperial Academy's
07:28prodigy class?
07:29The prodigy class.
07:30Fewer than 30 members
07:31in the Alliance's entire history.
07:33Yes.
07:34Absolutely yes.
07:35Hartwell produced a round crystal orb,
07:37glowing with golden light.
07:38The letter S carved into its surface.
07:40An S-Rank Talent shard.
07:42It will awaken
07:43an S-Rank Talent
07:45in your bound beast.
07:46Lyra took it
07:47and crushed it in her palm.
07:48Crimson light
07:49poured into Ignis' skull.
07:56Ignis has an S-Rank Talent now.
07:58She turned and bowed to Hartwell.
08:00Thank you, Vice-Cancellor.
08:02S-Rank Beast,
08:03S-Rank Talent.
08:04In this year's intake,
08:07you may well be the only one
08:08in the entire Alliance,
08:09Miss Ashfield.
08:10Lyra's fist tightened at her side.
08:12A single thought flashed.
08:13You'll never touch the world
08:15I'm reaching for, Kale.
08:16Stay in the Ash Quarter.
08:18Be a nobody for the rest of your life.
08:20Then the ground shook.
08:21People scattered across
08:22the streets of Ironhaven.
08:23The alarm blared across the city.
08:25Warning!
08:26City Ranser-class Thunderbeast
08:28detected 20 miles southeast of Ironhound.
08:31Lyra, Hartwell, and Roland
08:32rushed into the street.
08:34To the southeast,
08:35black clouds of lightning
08:36swallowed the sky.
08:37Their faces went pale.
08:42I stood at the center of the storm.
08:44Nyx exhaled once
08:46toward the Thunderbeast
08:47crouching in the lightning.
08:48Last one,
08:49and it had to show up
08:50this close to Ironhaven.
08:51The Thunderbeast roared
08:53and unleashed every corner
08:54of a torrent of lightning
08:55that reduced the forest around us
08:57to scorched wasteland in seconds.
09:01A big voice.
09:02Nyx.
09:03Hiss on it.
09:06Purple energy surged from Nyx
09:08and met the storm head-on.
09:10That lightning was enough
09:11to flatten the city.
09:12Collapsed in an instant,
09:14the Thunderbeast felt death coming
09:15and turned to run.
09:17Going somewhere?
09:18Frost spread from beneath my feet.
09:20The Thunderbeast flash-froze
09:22into a colossal ice sculpture,
09:24then falling rocks shattered it.
09:25I caught Nyx
09:26as she dropped back
09:27into my arms
09:28and sighed.
09:29Easy on the follow-through
09:30next time, Nyx.
09:32Nothing left to devour
09:33at this rate.
09:34Nyx blinked at me,
09:35unbothered,
09:36and nuzzled my face.
09:37Fair enough.
09:38Nine city razors down already.
09:41One more or less
09:42doesn't matter.
09:45I pulled up the screen.
09:47I smiled faintly.
09:48Devour.
09:49Suits you, Nyx.
09:51Should have told you
09:52to hold back.
09:53Look at this mess.
09:54Across the rubble,
09:56Lyra,
09:56Hartwell,
09:57Roland,
09:58and a guard corps unit
09:59stood staring at the Thunderbeast's carcass.
10:01Roland crouched and studied it.
10:03Confirmed.
10:04City racer class Thunderbeast
10:06killed in a single strike.
10:08Lyra's voice came out small.
10:10One hit.
10:11How strong is the one who did this?
10:14Peak Kingdom ender class.
10:16Possibly world breaker.
10:18World breaker?
10:19Does the Alliance even have someone at that level?
10:21No.
10:22Our strongest tops out at Kingdom Ender.
10:25A guard corps soldier called out.
10:27Captain.
10:28Tracks in the rubble.
10:29Small feline beast.
10:30Hartwell and Roland moved to look.
10:32Lyra stood frozen.
10:34A thought flashed in her mind.
10:36Nyx.
10:37Small cat.
10:38Could it be Kale?
10:39She shook it off instantly.
10:40Impossible.
10:42Whoever did this
10:43is a peak Kingdom ender or higher.
10:45Kale is just F real trash.
10:47He isn't worth their shadow.
10:48Back at the Imperial Academy's wraith grounds,
10:51a massive stone tablet
10:52embedded with countless crystals
10:54stood before the new students.
10:55Hartwell faced them.
10:56A ward wreath is the lingering soul
10:58of a slain beast.
11:00One that a beast bander can contract.
11:02The students murmured.
11:03Hartwell continued.
11:04The right ward wreath
11:05can dramatically amplify your bound beast
11:07and wield great power.
11:08Think of it as a second beast.
11:10This holds every wreath
11:11the Academy has collected over centuries.
11:13He pressed his palm to the surface.
11:15Countless beast silhouettes
11:16flickered and vanished.
11:17He turned back.
11:19Top ten from the entrance tournament
11:21step forward.
11:23Ten students moved to the tablet.
11:25Lyra was among them.
11:25Place your hand on the surface.
11:27If the tablet responds,
11:29you receive a ward wreath.
11:31The ten pressed their palms down.
11:32Blinding light flashed in waves.
11:34Moments later,
11:35nine of them had enormous beast silhouettes
11:37drifting behind them.
11:39All high tier.
11:40Every one of them is top tier talent
11:42and high rank wreaths.
11:43All eyes turned to Lyra,
11:45still waiting.
11:45Lyra Ashford hasn't gotten a response yet.
11:47Wonder what she'll pull.
11:50Then the tablet convulsed.
11:52Blazing crimson light erupted skyward.
11:54A three-headed hellhound
11:55wreathed in a flame
11:56materialized behind Lyra.
11:58City Razor Class.
11:59Lyra Ashford's ward wreath
12:01is a City Rider Class Inferno wreath.
12:02First place in the entrance tournament.
12:04Makes sense.
12:05Hartwell stared at the Inferno Wraith
12:07and nodded.
12:08City Razor Class,
12:09the Alliance hasn't seen one in a hundred years.
12:11Fire attribute pairs perfectly with Ignace.
12:13Strengthen your bond, Lyra.
12:15Your name will echo across
12:17the entire Alliance before long.
12:19Yes, Vice President.
12:21She rejoined the line.
12:22The crowd parted for her automatically.
12:24Her fist curled.
12:25One thought burned in her mind.
12:27I'm already making my name
12:28at the Imperial Academy.
12:30One day,
12:31I'll be the Alliance's
12:32greatest beast finder.
12:33And you, Kale,
12:34you'll stay F-rank trash
12:36until you die.
12:37At that moment,
12:38I was deep in the blighted wilds,
12:40completely unaware of any of it.
12:42I stood at the edge
12:43of a 10,000 meter canyon.
12:44At the bottom,
12:45a mountain-sized
12:46eight-headed serpent
12:47stared up at me.
12:49Last Kingdom Ender on the list.
12:52Finally.
12:53Half a month earlier,
12:54I stretched out on my bed
12:55with Nyx rolling beside me.
12:56I pulled up the system screen
12:58and thought it through.
12:59Divine rank talent secured.
13:01Next,
13:01a Ward Wraith for Nyx,
13:03something to push her even further.
13:10Kingdom Enders only show up
13:12deep in the wilds.
13:14And the truth about how
13:15beasts entered this world
13:16is buried somewhere
13:17down there, too.
13:19Back in the canyon,
13:20all eight Hydra heads
13:21fired at once.
13:22Venom and breath weapons
13:23tore the canyon walls apart,
13:25sending boulders
13:26crashing down in avalanches.
13:27I kept my voice flat.
13:29Big voice!
13:30Nyx, hiss on it!
13:31Nyx stood on my shoulder
13:32and exhaled.
13:33An invisible sonic wave
13:35shredded all the venom
13:36and breath mid-air.
13:37The Hydra felt death
13:38and turned to flee.
13:39Running?
13:40Really?
13:42Frost exploded
13:44from beneath my feet.
13:45The Hydra locked
13:45into a colossal ice sculpture
13:47in an instant.
13:48Then,
13:48the collapsing canyon walls
13:50crushed it.
13:50Lighter touch next time.
13:52Now there's nothing left
13:52to devour.
13:54Fine.
13:55Nine Kingdom Enders
13:56absorbed already.
13:57One more or less
13:57doesn't matter.
13:59Ten Kingdom Ender
14:00class beasts slain.
14:01Confirmed.
14:02Reward granted.
14:05World Breaker class wraith.
14:07Doesn't exist in
14:08Alliance history or legend.
14:09Space attribute too rare.
14:11Covers Nyx's close range capture.
14:13I raised one hand.
14:14A towering purple
14:15humanoid silhouette
14:16materialized behind me.
14:17Stretching across the sky,
14:19I frowned slightly.
14:20Too large.
14:21It shrank to palm size
14:22at my thought,
14:23took solid form,
14:24and settled quietly
14:25on my other shoulder.
14:26I looked around
14:26at the rubble.
14:27Done.
14:28Let's go home.
14:29The Voideater reached forward
14:30and drew a line
14:31through the air.
14:32Space split open
14:33into a dark gate
14:34and stepped through
14:34with Nyx.
14:36Ironhaven Guard Corps
14:37training ground.
14:38At the center of the arena,
14:39Lyra stood behind Ignis.
14:41Dozens of fire-red beast
14:43cores formed a ring
14:44around him.
14:45A surge of blinding light
14:46turned all cores
14:47into radiance,
14:48pouring into Ignis.
14:49Flames wrapping his body
14:50turned quiet.
14:51His role shook the walls.
14:53Hartwell watched from the side.
14:55Congratulations, Lyra.
14:56You've advanced
14:57to high-tier beast binder.
14:58I couldn't have done it
14:59without your guidance,
15:00Vice Counselor.
15:00I was born in Ironhaven.
15:02It's only right
15:03I see its prodigies shine.
15:04When your name echoes
15:05across the Alliance,
15:06both Ironhouse
15:07and the Imperial economy
15:08will be proud to claim you.
15:10Lyra looked at Ignis,
15:11a cold thought
15:12running through her mind.
15:13Kale, in just a few months
15:14I'm already a high-tier
15:15S-rank beast binder.
15:16Only one in disalliance
15:17or they're standing beside me
15:18who killed the Thunderbeast
15:19the senior.
15:20You'll always be
15:21an F-rank nobody.
15:22Hartwell suddenly sighed.
15:23You've reached high-tier
15:24so quickly, remarkable.
15:25And yet,
15:26Lyra looked up.
15:26Vice Counselor?
15:27What's wrong?
15:28I've been stuck
15:29at Peak City Raster
15:30for years.
15:30If I could obtain
15:31a darkness attribute source
15:32I might finally break through
15:34to Kingdom Ender Class,
15:35the highest rank
15:35a beast vendor can achieve.
15:37But darkness
15:37and space attributes
15:38are the rarest.
15:39I've searched
15:40the entire Alliance.
15:41Nothing.
15:41Something clicked
15:42in Lyra's mind.
15:43The Shadow Cat,
15:44the one on Kale's shoulder.
15:46She turned to Hartwell
15:47and began massaging
15:48his shoulders.
15:48I might have exactly
15:49what you're looking for.
15:50My ex-boyfriend's
15:51bound beast
15:51is a Shadow Cat.
15:52Only F-lead,
15:53but would that work for you?
15:54Yes, more than enough.
15:55But when a beast is killed
15:56the Beast Finder
15:57either dies
15:57or permanently crippled.
15:59Are you sure about this?
15:59He means nothing to me.
16:00I cut ties with him
16:01a long time ago.
16:02Besides,
16:02sacrificing one nobody
16:03so you can reach
16:03Kingdom Ender to class?
16:04That's a service
16:05to the entire Alliance.
16:06Well said.
16:07I knew I hadn't
16:08misjudged you, Lyra.
16:09If I reach Kingdom Ender,
16:10I'll pour every resource
16:11I have into your growth.
16:13Vice Cancellant,
16:14no time to waste.
16:14We leave now.
16:21The Void Eater
16:22drifted above my head.
16:24Half a month of consolidation.
16:26I had full command
16:27of the Worldbreaker Class
16:28Ward Wraith.
16:29Nyx's wraith is set.
16:30Time to think about
16:31what's next.
16:32A voice cut through the door.
16:34Kale Vos,
16:35get out here.
16:37I frowned,
16:38stood up,
16:39and walked to the front door.
16:40I pulled it open.
16:41Lyra stood there
16:42with her arms crossed.
16:43That face I once knew so well.
16:45Now nothing but contempt.
16:47She stared at me
16:48with open arrogance.
16:49Hartwell stood behind her,
16:50eyes scanning my home
16:52with quiet calculation.
16:53Lyra,
16:54what is it this time?
16:55Lyra looked at my messy hair.
16:56You should be grateful
16:56I'm even talking
16:57to someone like you.
16:58In the months since we parted,
16:59I've become a high-tier
16:59S-rank Beast Bander.
17:01Ignis has an S-rank talent.
17:02My Ward Waith is
17:03City Radar Classed,
17:04which is rarer than anything
17:05in Alliance history.
17:06Ignis materialized at her back
17:08and unleashed a roar.
17:09Behind her,
17:10the Inferno Wraith
17:11rose and loomed.
17:12Lyra looked down at me.
17:14I could crush you
17:15with one finger.
17:16High-tier S-rank.
17:18Impressive.
17:18The gap between us
17:20is sky and earth.
17:21Sky and earth?
17:22And you think
17:23you're the sky?
17:24She laughed
17:24like I'd said
17:25something absurd.
17:25What else, Kale?
17:27Have you been a nobody
17:28so long it's rotted your brain?
17:29The laughter dropped.
17:30I stared at her.
17:31You came all the way here
17:33just to show off?
17:34I came because
17:34I need something from you, Kale.
17:36I raised an eyebrow.
17:37For me?
17:37She gestured to Hartwell
17:39beside her,
17:40greed flickering in her eyes.
17:41Give me your shadow cap.
17:44I stared at Lyra.
17:45For a moment,
17:45I didn't even want to respond.
17:47What do you mean?
17:48This is Vice Chancellor Hartliel
17:50of the Imperial Academy.
17:51He's been stuck
17:51at Peak City Racer for years.
17:53He needs a darkness attribute source
17:54to break through
17:55to Kingdom Enderclass.
17:56Your shadow cat
17:57is darkness attribute.
17:59Kill it,
17:59extract the core,
18:00and we can refine
18:01a darkness attribute source.
18:02I breathed in slowly.
18:03So that's what this is.
18:04Vice Chancellor Reaching Kingdom
18:05Tarderclass benefit
18:06the entire Alliance.
18:07A tiny purple figure
18:08for a ward wraith.
18:09Fitting for someone like you.
18:11Trash.
18:12Sure.
18:12You're a nobody.
18:13You should feel lucky
18:14to contribute to the Alliance future,
18:16even at your own expense.
18:17Even if your beast perishes,
18:18you won't necessarily die.
18:19There's a reasonable chance
18:20you'll just be permanently crippled.
18:22And if I say no?
18:23Then you're obstructing the Alliance.
18:25That's treason.
18:26Of course.
18:27Framing
18:28always comes naturally to you, Lyra.
18:30You want my beast?
18:31Come and take it.
18:33Your call.
18:34Vice Cancellor, go ahead.
18:36Hartwell straightened.
18:37Your sacrifice for the greater good
18:39will not be forgotten,
18:40young Kale.
18:42Before the last word landed,
18:44black energy exploded from his body.
18:46A massive, black-furred wolf
18:48materialized behind him.
18:50His bonded beast,
18:51the Dusk Wolf.
18:52I watched Hartwell without expression.
18:54Nyx tilted her head.
18:55The Void Eater drifted off my shoulder
18:57and floated in front of me.
18:58Why does that thing look familiar?
19:00Never mind.
19:00It's just a low-rank ward wryth.
19:02It won't change anything.
19:04Dusk Wolf.
19:04Hartwell's voice went hard.
19:05The Dusk Wolf howled.
19:07Its shadows scratched and exploded
19:08into hundreds of hundred-meter-tall spikes.
19:11They leveled nearby buildings
19:12and rushed at me with destructive force.
19:17You've chosen wrong.
19:20That ancient, hollow sound
19:22cracked through the air like a bell.
19:23The shadow spikes,
19:25hundreds of meters tall,
19:26shattered to dust
19:27the moment the Void Eater spoke.
19:29Then the Void Eater's body,
19:30previously palm-sized,
19:32expanded.
19:33Ten thousand meters
19:34in an instant.
19:35Countless fractured purple rifts
19:37spread like cobwebs
19:38across the sky.
19:39I stood on the Void Eater's shoulder,
19:41Nyx beside me,
19:42rising slowly into the air.
19:44Its shadow fell across
19:45the entire city.
19:46Lyra and Hartwell
19:47stared up in terror.
19:48Ignis and the Inferno Wraith
19:50trembled where they stood.
19:51That energy is above City Razor.
19:53It's Kingdom Ender class.
19:55Impossible.
19:55How does Kale Vox
19:56have a Kingdom Ender class break?
19:57Kingdom Ender.
19:58You have no idea.
19:59It's the Void Eater.
20:01What is the Void Eater?
20:02A beast born a hundred years ago.
20:04One of the most powerful
20:05Kingdom Enders ever recorded.
20:06It took ten Kingdom Ender class
20:07Beast Binders
20:08hunting together
20:09to bring it down.
20:09Ten Kingdom Enders?
20:11That hunt shattered space
20:12for ten thousand miles
20:13in every direction.
20:14Four Kingdom Ender Beast Binders
20:15died and every survivor
20:16was left critically wounded.
20:17My beast.
20:18Go ahead.
20:19Take it.
20:20A misunderstanding young Kale.
20:23My student and I
20:23we overstepped.
20:24Please let this go
20:25for the Imperial Academy's sake.
20:28A crystal cracked open
20:29behind him.
20:29We'll leave immediately.
20:31Leave.
20:31You came after my master.
20:33You think you get to leave?
20:35Its enormous hand closed.
20:37The spatial gate
20:38crumpled to nothing.
20:39Crushing force drove down
20:40toward Hartwell and Lyra.
20:42Hartwell drove the Dusk Wolf
20:43into a frenzy
20:44throwing up wall after wall
20:46of shadow to hold it back.
20:47Lyra, go.
20:48You being here splits my focus.
20:50Lyra didn't.
20:51Hartwell watched her vanish
20:52and turned back to me.
20:53Kale, if anything happens to be here
20:53the Alliance will come for you.
20:54We'll see if these ants
20:56can even touch my master.
20:58Both hands came together.
20:59The Dusk Wolf's shadow walls
21:01and the blue spatial gate
21:02collapsed at once.
21:04The Dusk Wolf hung in midair
21:05covered in blood red wounds
21:07barely holding itself up.
21:09Hartwell drove it forward
21:10wiping blood from his mouth.
21:11He looked ten years older
21:12in moments.
21:13His eyes still held the snarl
21:15of a cornered beast.
21:16Kale Vox
21:17you think having the Void Eater
21:19makes you untouchable?
21:20The Void Eater was destroyed
21:22by the Alliance
21:23a hundred years ago
21:24and reduced to a wraith.
21:25Stand down now.
21:26I'll make sure the Alliance
21:28overlooks your involvement.
21:30The Void Eater's voice
21:31landed like cold iron.
21:33A thousand meter
21:33purple spear
21:34condensed in its right hand
21:35lunging at Hartwell
21:37with sky crushing force.
21:38Hartwell's eyes
21:39went past fear to resolve.
21:41I will not die here.
21:42A wisp of smoke black blood
21:44rose from his brow
21:45torn forcibly
21:46from his life essence.
21:48Duskwolf
21:49absorb my blood essence
21:50run at full power.
21:52One drop
21:52won't save you.
21:54Stay.
21:55The Void Eater's left hand
21:56closed in the air.
21:57Purple spatial rifts
21:58wove into a cage.
22:00Kale I've already sent word
22:01back to the capital.
22:02Even for a Kingdom Ender
22:04the Alliance
22:04will not let this go.
22:05Kingdom Ender
22:07short-sighted ants.
22:10World
22:10World Breaker
22:11that's impossible.
22:13Go and repent
22:13in whatever comes next.
22:15Five fingers closed.
22:17Hartwell's body
22:18and the howling duskwolf
22:19were swallowed
22:20by purple rays.
22:21Not a particle remained.
22:23Master
22:23the threat
22:25has been eliminated.
22:26I nodded once.
22:27Don't waste time
22:28on ants.
22:29Let's go.
22:31Yes.
22:32Below
22:32Commander Thorne
22:34and the Ironhaven
22:35Beastbinders
22:35he stared up
22:36at the massive
22:37purple silhouette overhead.
22:40The Void Eater
22:41contracted
22:42into someone's
22:42Wardrith.
22:44Should we contact
22:45Alliance Headquarters
22:46for backup?
22:47You want to get
22:47this entire city killed?
22:49Don't you dare!
22:50At the Imperial Academy's
22:52wraith grounds
22:52Lyra lay on the ground
22:54both hands pressed
22:55to her chest
22:55gasping.
22:56An emergency broadcast
22:58blared over
22:58the Academy's plaza.
22:59Vice capital
23:00Hartland is dead.
23:02Imperial Academy
23:02Investigation Unit
23:04mobilize at once.
23:05Above the plaza
23:06Beastbinders
23:07mounted their flying
23:08into their lives
23:08and tore
23:09the Void Ironhaven
23:10will blow
23:11Hartwell is dead.
23:13He was a
23:14peak-ranked
23:14Beastbinder
23:16and Kale just
23:20How does the
23:21Void Eater
23:22obey Kale like that?
23:23How?
23:24How?
23:25Kale's face
23:26flashed in her mind
23:27then Nix
23:28over and over
23:29this
23:29This is Kale's
23:32fault!
23:33If he just said
23:34he had the
23:35Void Eater
23:35as his Wardrith
23:37Crimson light
23:38spread from her body
23:39Ignis materialized
23:40beside her
23:41Ignis spoke quietly
23:42Master
23:44this may not
23:45be what you
23:46think
23:47Explain
23:49Legend says
23:50powerful beasts
23:51may rise as
23:52wraiths after death
23:54seeking a host
23:55to devour
23:56and resurrect
23:56themselves
23:57So the Void Eater
23:59isn't loyal to
24:00Sail
24:00it's been watching
24:01his life source
24:02the whole time
24:03Exactly
24:04I knew it
24:05Someone like Kale
24:07could never
24:07actually command
24:08something like that
24:11Master
24:12what if that
24:13nobody
24:14comes after us
24:15anyway?
24:16Against a
24:17Kingdom Ender
24:18class wraith
24:18we have no chance
24:20You're right
24:21but the Void Eater
24:23isn't the only
24:24Kingdom Ender
24:24in this world
24:26She rested a hand
24:27on Ignis' head
24:28You're my beast
24:29I will always
24:30give you the best
24:31conditions to grow
24:33Trust me
24:34She reached into
24:35her coat
24:36and pulled out
24:36an envelope
24:37Across the front
24:38was written
24:38Letter of Recommendation
24:40Signed by the man
24:41who had just died
24:42Lyra looked at it
24:44I'm taking you
24:45to meet someone
24:46who actually matters
24:47in this Alliance
24:48Alliance Headquarters
24:49Lord Kane sat
24:50behind a wide desk
24:51brow locked
24:52reading the letter
24:53Lyra had placed
24:54before him
24:55Lyra stood across
24:57from the desk
24:57composed
24:58Will this person
24:59actually protect us?
25:00Lyra's eyes didn't move
25:01He's a ranked
25:02Beastbinder
25:03Every ranked seat
25:04is peak
25:05Kingdom Ender
25:06In the entire Alliance
25:08only seven people
25:09are stronger
25:10than Lord Kane
25:10If he took us
25:12under his wing
25:13Lyra thought quietly
25:14Hartwell owed
25:15Kane his life
25:15That debt
25:16doesn't disappear
25:17just because
25:18Hartwell is gone
25:18It's only right
25:19I collect it
25:20Kane set the letter
25:21down
25:21and looked at
25:22Lyra directly
25:24Hartwell's handwriting
25:25No question
25:27Lyra was it?
25:28If you were
25:29important to him
25:29no need for
25:30formalities
25:31Sit
25:31Lyra settled
25:32into the chair
25:32careful
25:33and deferential
25:34Kane was quiet
25:35for a moment
25:35I haven't seen
25:36Hartwell in years
25:37How is he?
25:38Sir
25:39Vice Chancellor
25:40Hartwell
25:40He was killed
25:43Who?
25:46Hartwell saved
25:48my life
25:48Whoever did this
25:51Tell me everything
25:53A man named
25:54Kale Vox
25:55killed him
25:55Kale Vox
25:57That name isn't
25:58in any Kingdom
25:59Ender record
26:00I know
26:00He's F-Week
26:02But his Ward
26:03Rilth is the
26:04Void Eater
26:06The Vox
26:06Eater
26:08Lyra stood in the
26:09wreckage of
26:10Lord Kane's office
26:11That day
26:11Vice Campioner
26:12Hartwell and I
26:12had gone to
26:13Sale to discuss
26:14retrieving something
26:14from him
26:16Without warning
26:17Sale turned the
26:18Void Eater on us
26:19He meant to kill us both
26:20She made a motion
26:21She made a motion like
26:21brushing away tears
26:22Voice catching
26:23The Vice Consular
26:25threw himself in front
26:26of me to get me out
26:28In the end
26:29Kale killed him
26:30Kale Vox
26:31Hiding behind the Void
26:33Eater and defying
26:34Alliance lore
26:34He deserves to die
26:36Please my lord
26:37Avenge Vice
26:37Cancellor Hartwell
26:38Rally the Kingdom
26:39Ender class
26:39Beastfinders
26:40Hunt down the Void
26:41Eater and destroy
26:41Kale once and for all
26:43Rally the Kingdom
26:44Enders
26:44That won't be necessary
26:45Lyra blinked
26:46Why not
26:47When a beast becomes
26:48a wraith
26:49its power drops
26:49significantly
26:51The Void Eater
26:52as it stands now
26:53is no stronger
26:54than an average
26:55Kingdom Ender
26:56I can handle it alone
26:57Lyra's pulse jumped
26:59Then we should go
26:59at once
27:00for the Vice Chancellor
27:01Not yet
27:01The front lines
27:03are under pressure
27:03I can't leave
27:04headquarters right now
27:06When the front
27:07stabilizes
27:07I will deal with
27:08Kale Vox
27:09personally
27:09In the meantime
27:11he won't come after you
27:12Live your life
27:14Yes my lord
27:15She watched him
27:15turn away
27:16He's dismissing me
27:17She looked at the letter
27:18still in Kale's hand
27:19let soft sorrow
27:21into her voice
27:21and bowed low
27:22Vice Chancellor Hardwell
27:23once told me
27:24that when he returned
27:25from Ironhound
27:25he planned to take me
27:26as his final student
27:28He had wanted
27:29to be licensed
27:30He said the bond
27:32between the two of you
27:33went beyond the life debt
27:35That you were the
27:36Beastbinder
27:37he respected most
27:38above all others
27:39He never imagined
27:40that Ironhome
27:41would be the last place
27:42he ever went
27:43Kale's movement stopped
27:44He turned back
27:45to look at her
27:46If Hartfield thought
27:46that highly of you
27:47stay
27:48Learn under me
27:49Lyra Ashfield
27:51is grateful my lord
27:53Deep in the blighted wilds
27:55The forest lay
27:56in scorched ruins
27:57A massive
27:58crimson magic circle
28:00pulsed in the air
28:01unleashing waves
28:02of red lightning
28:03that tore the ground
28:04apart in all directions
28:05The six-headed wyvern
28:07beat its wings violently
28:08Each of its six heads
28:10blasted annihilating energy
28:11in every direction
28:12Below
28:13Alliance leader
28:14Vandercrest
28:15pressed a hand
28:16to a bleeding gash
28:17across his abdomen
28:18breathing raggedly
28:19His dragon
28:20powerful enough
28:21to guard an entire region
28:22lay unconscious
28:23and gravely wounded
28:25behind him
28:25It actually broke through
28:27the half-step worldbreaker
28:29Damn
28:32I have to send word
28:33Every kingdom ender
28:35in the Alliance
28:35must converge on you
28:36on this beast
28:37If it fully masters
28:38its new power
28:39the Alliance is doomed
28:40Nyx
28:41breathe on it
28:42Crest froze
28:43He looked up
28:44in shock
28:44A purple spatial gate
28:46tore open
28:47across the sky
28:48I stepped through
28:49with Nyx
28:49and the Void Eater
28:50gazing down
28:51at the wyvern
28:52from above
28:53Mrow
28:53Nyx leaped
28:54from my shoulder
28:55A vast magic circle
28:57formed instantly
28:58across the heavens
28:59Frost fell like a curtain
29:00In seconds
29:01the entire wasteland
29:03turned to frozen plains
29:04The unstoppable
29:06six-headed wyvern
29:07was encased
29:08in a colossal ice sculpture
29:09frozen solid
29:10on the spot
29:11Good work Nyx
29:13Devour it
29:14Countless shadowy tendrils
29:16poured from Nyx's mouth
29:17and dragged the wyvern's
29:19massive body inside him
29:20System
29:21Beast devoured
29:22six-headed wyvern
29:26One hit
29:27Half-step worldbreaker
29:30Gone in one strike
29:35Worldbreaker class
29:37This person is definitely
29:39worldbreaker class
29:43Alliance leader
29:44Van der Krest
29:46I owe you my life
29:47Senior
29:48Don't mention it
29:49I was going to kill it anyway
29:51May I ask your name
29:52Senior
29:53Would you consider
29:54taking a seat
29:55as a rank in Beastbinder
29:56in the Alliance?
29:57Not interested
29:59Senior
30:00You would be granted
30:01rankled first
30:02Above every other
30:04Beastbinder
30:05in the entire Alliance
30:06No
30:08I would also yield
30:09the position
30:10of Alliance leader
30:11to you
30:11I looked at Krest
30:13He was covered in blood
30:14The wound on his side
30:15raw and gaping
30:16Yet his eyes still
30:17burned with urgency
30:18I appreciate the offer
30:20Alliance leader
30:21I have no interest
30:23in joining any organization
30:24Krest stepped forward urgently
30:27Senior
30:28This is not about allegiance
30:30It is an invitation
30:32To stand with us
30:34against the beasts
30:35To fight for humanity
30:37Save your words
30:38When humanity faces a threat
30:40it cannot overcome
30:41I will intervene on my own
30:43I suppose that will have to be enough
30:45On behalf of the entire Alliance
30:48Thank you, Senior
30:50He bowed deeply
30:51I waved it off
30:53and nodded at the Void Eater
30:54to open a gate
30:55This gate leads to the Capitol
30:56I stepped through with Nyx
30:58and the Void Eater
30:59The portal closed behind me
31:02Alliance headquarters
31:03Conference room
31:04Krest stood at the center
31:05of the chamber
31:06Every seat around him
31:07was occupied
31:08by a Kingdom Ender
31:09class Beastbinder
31:10Their expressions grim
31:11Lord Kane sat in the front row
31:13Lyra stood behind him
31:15Head slightly bowed
31:16Krest scanned the room
31:17Regarding the six-headed
31:19Wyrin operation
31:20I nearly perished out there
31:22Kane's voice sharpened in shock
31:24The Wysen advanced
31:26to half-step worldbreaker
31:27Krest nodded slowly
31:29The room erupted into murmurs
31:31A Kingdom Ender stood
31:32We must mobilize
31:33every Kingdom Ender
31:35in the Alliance at once
31:36The Wysen must be eliminated
31:38if it fully masters
31:40its new power
31:41The Alliance is doomed
31:43There is no other choice
31:45There is no need
31:47A Worldbreaker class senior
31:49has already slain it
31:51Worldbreaker?
31:52The Alliance has someone
31:53at that level?
31:54Yes
31:54Unfortunately
31:55that scene declined
31:55to join the Alliance
31:56I called this meeting
31:57to make one thing clear
31:59All of you must know
32:00this person exists
32:00What does this senior look like?
32:05He travels with a small
32:07black cat
32:08as his bonded beast
32:09Remember that
32:10All of you
32:15Black cat
32:27Impossible
32:28Kale is a nobody
32:31The senior the Alliance
32:33leader speaks of
32:34is the same one
32:34who killed the Thunder Beast
32:36in one strike
32:37outside Ironhaven
32:38Not Kale
32:39Exactly
32:40Master
32:41Kale is nothing
32:42but a dead man
32:43walk
32:43Lyra steadied her breath
32:45The corner of her mouth
32:46curled upward
32:46Unknown
32:47Yet already a legend
32:49across the Alliance
32:50Only someone like that senior
32:52deserves to stand
32:53beside Lyra Ashford
32:54Lyra sat cross-legged
32:56with her eyes closed
32:57Dozens of blood-red
32:58beast cores
32:59surrounded her
32:59Ignis paced beside her
33:01Flames flickering
33:02with unease
33:03The cores dissolved
33:04into streams
33:05of deep crimson light
33:06and poured into her body
33:07Lyra opened her eyes
33:09Her aura
33:09had completely transformed
33:11City Razor class
33:13Finally
33:13Finally
33:14Lord Kale stood nearby
33:16watching
33:16He nodded in approval
33:18City Razor in under a year
33:19The Alliance hasn't seen
33:20a prodigy like you
33:21in a century
33:22Undisputed
33:23Lyra stood up
33:25I couldn't have done it
33:27without your guidance
33:27my lord
33:28Kale reached into his sleeve
33:29and pulled out
33:30an SS rank
33:31fire attribute
33:32talent shard
33:33Its markings sharp
33:34and clear
33:35An SS rank
33:36fire attribute
33:36talent shard
33:37Ignis will awaken
33:38a second powerful talent
33:40Lyra's breath caught
33:43SS rank
33:44She took it with both hands
33:45trembling slightly
33:46and pressed it
33:47to Ignis's skull
33:48Blinding crimson light
33:50surged into the dragon's body
33:51a wall of flame
33:52condensed around him
33:55Thank you my lord
33:57SS rank talented
33:58beast binders
33:59can be counted
33:59on one hand
34:00across the entire
34:01history of the Alliance
34:02The future belongs
34:04to people like you
34:06I won't let you
34:07or the Alliance down
34:09Kale watched her leave
34:10her stride confident
34:11and straight
34:12Lyra briefly pictured me
34:13beneath her composure
34:14then pushed it aside
34:16another step closer
34:17to the top
34:17You, Kale
34:18you're not even worth
34:19kneeling before me now
34:20Then a pillar
34:21of blinding light
34:22erupted far
34:23across the horizon
34:24Lyra and Kane
34:25turned at the same time
34:27Lyra frowned
34:28Is that a beast
34:29Is that a beast manifestation?
34:31No
34:33A relic site
34:34has surfaced
34:35A relic site?
34:37Before the Alliance
34:38existed
34:38there were
34:39World Breaker
34:39class beast binders
34:40among humanity
34:41They sacrificed themselves
34:43to defeat
34:43World Breaker
34:44class beasts
34:45The relic sites
34:46are what they left behind
34:47Lyra's eyes
34:47sharpened at once
34:48What's inside?
34:50Talent shards
34:50beast equipment
34:51all kinds
34:52and the chance
34:53to step into
34:54World Breaker
34:55class
34:55Lyra went completely
34:56still
34:57World Breaker
34:59Come with me Lyra
35:02This could be your moment
35:07Yes
35:08The blighted wilds
35:10I stood on open ground
35:11facing three beasts
35:12the size of small mountains
35:14The pangolin beast
35:15slammed both feet
35:16into the earth
35:17The ground surged upward
35:18Stone spikes like a forest
35:20tore toward me
35:21Beside it
35:22a massive ape
35:23beat its chest
35:24The ground churned
35:25Vines like pythons
35:27lashed out at me
35:28High above
35:28a hawk circled
35:30The wind off its wings
35:31twisted into funnel clouds
35:32that stacked around me
35:34in layers
35:34I glanced at the void eater
35:36on my shoulder
35:36Void
35:38Cage them
35:39Yes, master
35:41Two fingers moved
35:43Purple spatial rifts
35:45wove into a perfect enclosure
35:46All three beasts
35:47were crushed together
35:48in an instant
35:49Every attack
35:50dissolving into nothing
35:51Nyx
35:52World ending thunder
35:55then devour
35:57Nix leaped from my shoulder
35:59The sky turned black
36:00Blood red lightning struck
36:02charring the three beasts
36:03into blackened wreckage
36:04that crashed down
36:05Nyx opened her mouth
36:07Tendrils stretched out
36:08and dragged the remains
36:09inside her
36:10100 city raiser class beasts
36:12slain
36:12Confirmed
36:13Talent fusion card
36:15Granted
36:15The golden card
36:16on the interface
36:17caught my eye
36:18All elemental type talents
36:19merged
36:20New talent
36:21Freely command
36:22every elemental force
36:23that exists in this world
36:24I let the sensation
36:25settle through me
36:26Something vast
36:27and alive
36:27Responding to me
36:29in every direction
36:29Second divine real talent
36:32Worth every one
36:33of those hundred city races
36:38You two have been carrying
36:39everything lately
36:40I know it
36:43Serving you is my honor
36:45Master
36:45Then the horizon lit up
36:48A pillar of light
36:49distant but unmistakable
36:50I stared at it
36:51What is that?
36:53Worldbreaker class
36:54Relic site detected nearby
36:56Claim the beast legacy
36:58within the relic site
36:5930% godmark fragment
37:01What's a godmark fragment?
37:03Godmark fragment
37:04100% forge godmark
37:06Required for ascensions
37:08An ascendant commands
37:09absolute power
37:10and may traverse all worlds
37:12Traverse all worlds
37:13Something ignited
37:14A pull towards something
37:16beyond the edge
37:17of what I could see
37:17Nyx
37:19Void
37:20Let's go
37:22This was the
37:23Worldbreaker class
37:24Relic site
37:25A glowing path
37:26arched from the emptiness
37:27to a cloud suspended
37:28floating island
37:29Countless crystal light orbs
37:31drifted above the island's surface
37:33I stepped out of a purple spatial gate
37:35Nyx on my left shoulder
37:36and the void eater
37:37on my right
37:38I glanced at the still forming
37:39luminous path
37:40The site isn't fully open yet
37:42We wait
37:44Kale Voss
37:45You're still alive?
37:46That voice
37:47Sharp
37:48Familiar
37:48I turned
37:49Lyra and Lord Kane
37:50descended on a frost phoenix
37:52and landed in front of me
37:53Lyra looked me over
37:54Contempt written plainly
37:56across her face
37:57You came here
37:58Don't tell me you're actually
38:00trying to claim a
38:01Worldbreaker class legacy
38:02How is that your concern?
38:05An F-rank
38:06Beast Binder
38:06reaching for a
38:07Worldbreaker legacy?
38:08That's genuinely funny
38:09I looked at her directly
38:11And you think you deserve it?
38:12If I don't
38:14Then no young Beast Bender
38:15in the entire Alliance does
38:17Ignis materialized behind her
38:19and roared
38:20Flames bursting from
38:21every inch of his body
38:22I'm the City Razor
38:24class S-rank Beast Bender
38:25The greatest prodigy
38:27the Alliance has seen
38:28in a century
38:29Breaking up with you
38:31was the best decision
38:32I ever made
38:32I stared at her
38:33at that narrow
38:34self-satisfied confidence
38:36and almost laughed
38:37City Razor S-Rage
38:39And you're already
38:41this arrogant
38:42You really haven't changed
38:44Still no idea
38:46how small that is
38:47Ignis spread his wings
38:48The flames flared higher
38:50He bared his fangs at me
38:51Weak and arrogant
38:53You never change
38:54either, Kale Vos
38:57Ignis beat his wings
38:58Fire scattering like rain
38:59His huge eyes fixed on me
39:01Full of contempt
39:02Is it that hard
39:04to admit someone's stronger?
39:06Or you just can't accept
39:07you're a nobody?
39:10Perfect
39:10That's my beast
39:12Lyra smiled
39:13Satisfied
39:14Nyx stayed quiet
39:16on my shoulder
39:17She'd heard enough
39:18She turned to Lyra
39:20and Ignis
39:21Then forced out
39:22broken human worlds
39:23Mao
39:24You will
39:29Regret
39:29This
39:30Ignis stared at her
39:32for a moment
39:33Then he opened his jaws
39:34He unleashed
39:36a dragon fire torch
39:37In seconds
39:39Several nearby trees
39:40turned to ash
39:42Regret
39:42over a nobody?
39:44An F-rank shadow cat
39:46thinks it can go up
39:47against me
39:48an S-rank?
39:50That what you're
39:52trying to say?
39:53You and your shadow cat, Kale
39:55A perfect pair of trash
39:57Lyra crossed her arms
39:59and looked down at me
40:01The Void Eater
40:02had endured enough
40:03It drifted off my shoulder
40:04Its purple form
40:06rising into the air
40:07A suffocating pressure
40:09spread out
40:09Squeezing everyone's chests
40:11Foolish woman
40:12Foolish beast
40:14All that talent
40:16you brag about
40:17Not even a fraction
40:19of what my master's got
40:21It shifted its game
40:22Kill my master
40:23You can't
40:24Not the whole alliance
40:26Whether he lives
40:28or dies
40:29That's his choice alone
40:31Lyra didn't flinch
40:32Instead
40:33she stepped back
40:34behind Lord Cain
40:35A sharp
40:36mocking smile
40:37on her face
40:38The once feared Void Eater
40:40Tamed
40:41Just look at it
40:44Not devousting
40:45its host's
40:46life source
40:47after all
40:49Did it really grow
40:50fond of being
40:51a nobody's pet?
40:53Or is it just
40:54as worthless
40:55as everything else
40:56around you?
40:57The Void Eater
40:58flared with rage
40:59Purple energy
41:00surged and condensed
41:02ready to strike
41:03Cain instantly
41:04sent the Frost Phoenix
41:05between them
41:06The air went hot
41:08Void
41:09They're just ants
41:10Let it go
41:12Ants
41:13Let it go
41:14The Void Eater
41:15pulled back his power
41:17Yes master
41:19I turned and walked away
41:21Lyra's voice
41:22called after me
41:22Running again
41:24Just like always
41:27Lyra watched
41:28the Void Eater
41:29stand down
41:30She figured I'd
41:30backed off
41:31out of fear
41:32Her smile turned sharp
41:33She waved
41:34the Frost Phoenix away
41:35Then she turned
41:36to Lord Cain
41:37My lord
41:38Kael's still the same
41:40He's got the Void Eater
41:42as his wrath
41:45He betrayed the Alliance
41:49Betrayed humanity
41:52My lord
41:53I beg you
41:54Destroy the Void Eater
41:55and tail both
41:56Defend the Alliance
41:58Avenge Vice
41:59Missional Hartwell
42:00Not yet
42:02Why not
42:03You said you could take
42:04the Void Eater alone
42:05This place is unstable
42:06If we fight inside
42:07the Relic Site's boundary
42:08it could cause
42:09uncontrollable consequences
42:10Once the Site closes
42:11I'll deal with them
42:12both myself
42:12I was being hasty
42:13Lyra don't waste your
42:14thoughts on someone like him
42:15Focus everything on the
42:17Relic Site
42:17That legacy's what
42:18truly matters
42:19Yes my lord
42:20She lifted her eyes
42:22locked firm
42:22on the floating island
42:24Today
42:25Lyra Ashfield's name
42:27will ring across
42:28the whole Alliance
42:30I'd moved to a quiet spot
42:32at the crowd's edge
42:33My back was against a tree
42:35I watched Lyra's proud silhouette
42:36from far off
42:37I let out a soft laugh
42:39I turned my gaze
42:40to the island
42:40World Breaker class
42:42Beast Binders
42:43The ones before the Alliance
42:44wonder what they left behind
42:46I glanced at Nyx
42:47and the Voideater
42:48This is a World Breaker Relic Site
42:51There should be stuff inside
42:52worth your while
42:53Distant roars rumbled
42:55through the wilderness
42:56Massive shadows fell
42:57over the whole area
42:58Several flying beasts
43:00blocked out the way
43:01Someone in the crowd
43:02pointed upward
43:06The Alliance Ranked
43:07Kingdom Enders are here
43:09Outside the Relic Site
43:10Across the wilderness
43:11enormous flying beasts
43:13landed one after another
43:15Each carried figures
43:16with distinct bearing
43:17and attire
43:18They were the Alliance's
43:19true inner circle
43:20The Beast Binders nearby
43:21reacted right away
43:24Every major hidden clan
43:25Every top-ranked
43:26Beast Binder Academy
43:27Every ranked Kingdom Ender
43:29They're all here
43:30A white-haired elder
43:31in pale green robes
43:33landed on a crane
43:34Alliance Ranked
43:35Sixth Seat

43:41Patriarch of the Alliance's
43:43oldest hidden clan
43:44They say his beast
43:45weaves the threads
43:45of time itself
43:46That young man
43:47beside him is Cassius
43:48His bound beast
43:50is an S-ranked
43:50Mirage Fox
43:51They say it can take
43:52the form of anything
43:53Beside him
43:54a young man
43:54surveyed the scene below
43:56His gaze was cold
43:57with disdain
43:58Vance Clan
43:59Young Air
44:00City Razor
44:07From the other direction
44:09a giant butterfly
44:10drifted in
44:11There was no visible rider
44:12until a figure
44:14stepped out of thin air
44:15Alliance Ranked
44:16Fifth Seat
44:17Peak Kingdom Ender
44:18Class
44:18A voice murmured
44:20low in the crowd
44:21Issa Vance Vance
44:21Chancellor of Warbeast Academy
44:22Under her Warbeast
44:23past Imperial Academy
44:25to become the Alliance
44:25top institution
44:26Her power's on a
44:28whole nother level
44:28Beside the butterfly
44:30An ice blue haired girl
44:31materialized
44:32Warbeast Academy
44:33Student
44:34First Seat
44:35City Razor Class
44:36Sable stretched lazily
44:38A tiny ice blue dragon
44:39coiled around her shoulders
44:40Lots of people
44:41At least it won't be boring
44:43Then the ground shook
44:44A thunderous crash
44:46rang out
44:46Aldric Stone
44:47landed beside
44:48Ribbon Ross
44:49He jumped straight down
44:50from the back
44:51of a colossal dragon
44:52The impact
44:53sent dust
44:54surging outward
44:55Alliance Ranked
44:56Third Seat
44:57Peak Kingdom Ender
44:58Class
44:59A voice murmured
45:00in the crowd
45:01Aldric Stone
45:02The Vice Alliance
45:03leader himself
45:06Riven Cross
45:07turned to Stone
45:08and bowed deeply
45:09Master
45:09I'll claim this legacy
45:11for the Alliance
45:11Do what you must
45:13Riven Cross
45:14Sable Frost
45:15Cassian Vance
45:16Those three are easily
45:18the strongest
45:18young Beastbinders alive
45:20Throw in a bunch
45:20of Kingdom Enders
45:21Whatever happens next
45:22is gonna be legendary
45:23Barely older than me
45:24and only now in City Rager
45:25The strongest
45:26of the young generation
45:27they don't deserve that title
45:29This relic site
45:30belongs to no one
45:31You earn every treasure
45:32inside with your own
45:34two hands
45:34But whoever claims
45:36the final legacy
45:37must stand with the Alliance
45:38All for the Alliance
45:39All for humanity
45:41All for the Alliance
45:44Their battle cry
45:45cut through the sky
45:46In that moment
45:47the floating island
45:48burst with light
45:49The glowing path
45:50leading to its shores
45:51opened completely
45:54Inside the relic site
45:56First trial
45:57The glowing path
45:58opened all the way
45:59Beastbinders rushed
46:00toward the island entrance
46:01A light barrier
46:02flickered to life
46:03It pushed most of them back
46:05Only the younger Beastbinders
46:07can get in
46:07This place has an age limit
46:09Makes sense
46:10If Kingdom Ender
46:12class warriors
46:12fought over this legacy
46:14the backlash alone
46:15would tear the whole site apart
46:17Talented young Beastbinders
46:18keep popping up
46:19one after another
46:20That's a good thing
46:22But for kids their age
46:24Some haven't killed
46:26a single beast yet
46:27The three of them
46:27turned to stare
46:28at the glowing orb
46:29where I stood
46:30all at once
46:31My counter read zero
46:32Beasts swarmed me
46:34non-stop from every side
46:35Yet I stood still
46:37in the middle of them
46:37Those types always
46:39wait for a miracle
46:40Against true talent
46:41they never stood a chance
46:46Liar
46:46Focus on the legacy
46:47One who cannot slay
46:49even a single beast
46:50is unworthy of your attention
46:51Deep within the aisle
46:52the first trial
46:54raged at its peak
46:55The counters above
46:56Rivencross
46:56Sablefrost
46:58and Cassian Vance
46:59all surged
47:00past 500
47:01Less than 3 minutes
47:02And they've already
47:04felled 500 beasts
47:05How can anyone
47:07end compete
47:07with that?
47:08Look
47:09That one is keeping pace
47:10with Rivens, Sable
47:10and Cassian
47:11Lyra's counter
47:12had also broken 500
47:13The three exchanged looks
47:15Without a word
47:16they all unleashed
47:17their full power
47:18at once
47:19Their counters exploded
47:20Soaring past
47:211,000
47:22in an instant
47:24They weren't even
47:25trying earlier
47:27Lyra glanced
47:28at their numbers
47:28just over a thousand
47:29and smiled to herself
47:31Holding nothing back
47:32and that's all?
47:33You think you deserve
47:34this legacy?
47:39Let me show you
47:40what a real prodigy
47:41looks like
47:42Her counter
47:43detonated upward
47:442,000
47:45and still climbing
47:47already far ahead
47:48of the other three
47:49Inside the relic site
47:50First trial
47:51Fire and chaos
47:52raged across the trial
47:53gates
47:54Lyra stood atop Ignis
47:56Roaring flames
47:57devoured every beast
47:58in range
47:58and unbroken rule
48:00Rivencross
48:02Sablefrost
48:02Cassian Vance
48:03stared up at her
48:04She wasn't using
48:05her full power either
48:09She's already surpassed
48:11all three of us combined
48:13There
48:14Now you know
48:15who the true prodigy is
48:18She glanced
48:19toward my light sphere
48:20saw the number
48:21still at zero
48:21and looked away
48:22in disgust
48:23She urged Ignis
48:24onward
48:25beast after beast
48:26falling before them
48:38Her counter hit 6,000
48:40All attention in the site
48:41locked onto her
48:42Everyone already accepted her
48:44as the inevitable first
48:45Then a voice boomed
48:46ancient and overwhelming
48:48filling every corner
48:49of the relic site
48:54Lyra's face did not twist
48:55It went completely still
48:57Her voice came out
48:58as a near scream
48:59Every young beast binder
49:00in the trial
49:01and every observer outside
49:03turned at once
49:04I still stood in the center
49:05of my sphere
49:06Nyx rested on my left shoulder
49:08The void eater floating above me
49:09The endless flood of beasts
49:11that had poured in
49:12moments earlier
49:13all gone
49:14Every last one
49:15vanished in an instant
49:17Outside the relic
49:18All the people stared
49:19at the space where I stood
49:20That's impossible
49:21He didn't kill a single beast
49:25Kale Vos
49:28Who trained this person?
49:29How does someone like this
49:30exist without anyone knowing?
49:32Same age bracket
49:33And he eliminated
49:35that many beasts
49:36in a single instant
49:41Someone like that
49:42doesn't stay unknown
49:44Look at his beast
49:46Silas and Isolde
49:47looked at Nyx
49:48on my shoulder
49:48Both of them
49:49took an involuntary
49:50step back
49:51Silas' voice dropped
49:52The black cat
49:54could it be?
49:55Kane moved
49:56to the three of them
49:56A cold half-smile
49:58was on his face
50:00It's not what you're thinking
50:02Explain
50:04Kale's bound beast
50:05is F-rank
50:06He happened to obtain
50:07the void eater
50:08as a ward waver
50:09Nothing more
50:11He's driving it
50:12on borrowed life source
50:13That explains it
50:15Someone that age
50:16couldn't be who
50:16we were thinking
50:17Burning life source
50:18for a legacy
50:20Foolish
50:21Even if Heavey
50:23somehow gets the legacy
50:24An F-reigned beast
50:26The talent gap
50:27is permanent
50:28All four of them
50:29looked away from me
50:30and turned their
50:31attention elsewhere
50:32Inside the site
50:33The ancient voice
50:34had rung through
50:35every corner of the island
50:36Lyra stood on
50:37Ignis' back
50:38She stared at my back
50:40with an expression
50:40that kept trying
50:41to find a shape
50:42Kale passed
50:44the first trial
50:44before me
50:46That is not possible
50:47That is not possible
50:48I have Ignis
50:50at S-rank
50:50Talent ratings
50:51in the top five
50:52across all of
50:53Alliance history
50:54A city-racker
50:55class ward ride with
50:55Nobody passes
50:56before me
50:57Nobody
50:58Master
50:58It had to be
50:59the void eater
51:00He burnt life source
51:02and cheated
51:02Lyra went still
51:03Then she exhaled
51:06Right
51:07That's what happened
51:08The rest of the trials
51:10test beast potential
51:10and beast finder talent
51:11I'll watch
51:12and hail
51:13every one of them
51:14He's just a dying
51:15nobody
51:16Master
51:17He breathed out
51:18another tornado
51:19fire
51:19He cleared what remained
51:21of the beasts
51:21in their zone
51:22The ancient voice
51:23filled the site again
51:24Lyra Ashfield
51:25trial passed
51:27On the island
51:28Nine enormous stone
51:30pillars rose in silence
51:32The magic circle
51:33on the ground
51:34had gone dark
51:35The first trial
51:36was over
51:36I stood alone
51:38in front of the pillars
51:39taking in the empty site
51:40I don't think
51:41the second trial
51:42will open
51:43until the first one
51:43closes completely
51:44Fine
51:45I'll wait
51:48Kale Voss
51:49Are you standing here
51:50because you already
51:51know you're finished?
51:52I had no patience
51:52for this
51:53Do you follow people
51:55around just to
51:55bark at them?
51:56Lyra's expression
51:57flickered with anger
51:58for a second
51:59Make the most
51:59of your words now
52:00while you still can
52:02This legacy
52:03belongs to my master
52:04A nobody like him
52:06who doesn't even
52:06deserve to look at
52:09I'd had enough of this
52:11Fine
52:12You're right
52:13Now leave me alone
52:15First trial concluded
52:16Second trial
52:18Open
52:20Blinding light
52:21flooded the entire eye
52:23Dozens of young
52:24beast binders
52:24stood ready
52:25at the trial entrance
52:26The magic circle
52:27beneath them
52:28flared to light
52:30Second trial
52:31Beasts only
52:32One pillar
52:33One gate
52:34Clear all gates
52:35and the legacy
52:36of this site
52:37is yours
52:38This legacy
52:39is mine
52:40Ironhaven University
52:41First seed
52:42Garrett's beast
52:43charged the first gate
52:44in complete complex
52:45Second later
52:47he came flying back
52:48covered in blood
52:49and crashed
52:51Beastbonder A
52:52Ironheld University
52:53is top ten
52:54in the alliance
52:54Garrett Vane
52:55is their best
52:56and his beast
52:57couldn't get through
52:57even one gate
52:58If he can't
53:00who can?
53:01Riven Cross
53:02Sable Frost
53:03and Cassian Vance
53:04exchanged alliances
53:06Sable Frost's
53:08and Cassian Vance's
53:09beasts stumbled out
53:10The guardian beast
53:12at the seventh gate
53:12is half-step kingdom
53:14Enderclass?
53:17Cassian stared at his fist
53:19No one can claim this legacy
53:21No one
53:25Sable Frost
53:26and Cassian Vance
53:27both stopped
53:28at six gates
53:30Riven Cross
53:31is the last one
53:32If anyone
53:33The seventh pillar
53:34lit up
53:34Riven Cross's beast
53:35stumbled out
53:36bloody
53:37A light beam
53:38fell into his hand
53:39and wrapped around
53:39his wrist as a band
53:41The seventh gate
53:42gives kingdom
53:42Ender class gear
53:43What awaits
53:44at nine goals?
53:46Raven failed
53:47at the eighth
53:47The guardian
53:48is full kingdom
53:49Ender
53:49No one can claim
53:51the legacy
53:52Lyra heard the crowd's
53:53despair
53:55Pathetic
53:55They call themselves
53:56the best of their
53:57generation?
53:59Only my master
54:00deserves this
54:01legacy
54:03The words hung in the air
54:05Ignis burst into action
54:07Fueled by Lyra's ambition
54:09and charged
54:10into the trial gates
54:14Inside the relic site
54:15Every beastbinder watching
54:16turned toward the island entrance
54:18Eight pillars blazed
54:20to life at once
54:21A crimson silhouette
54:22tore out of the gates
54:23It was Ignis
54:24Sable Frost
54:25She beat a kingdom
54:26Ender Guardian
54:26Her beast cleared
54:27the eighth gore
54:29Someone our age
54:30with this kind of power
54:32C and Vance
54:33looked at his own
54:34six gates
54:34Compared to her
54:35I failed my family
54:36Lyra lifted her head high
54:38Among the alliance's
54:39finest youth
54:40she'd found what she saw
54:41She watched their shocked faces
54:43This is how it should be
54:43And smiled coldly
54:44Look up
54:44Forgive me master
54:46The ninth gate peak
54:48kingdom ender
54:49I can't pass
54:50Lyra showed no disappointment
54:51It doesn't matter
54:52No one else can pass either
54:54I've already made my name
54:55Outside the relic site
54:57Zold spoke first
54:58The Imperial Academy
54:58produced a real prodigy
55:00I wonder if she'd consider
55:01Warbeast
55:02Such talent
55:03belongs to the alliance
55:04I could take her
55:06as my second student
55:07The Vance clan
55:08will name her heir
55:09Full resources
55:10Full support
55:11I'll accept your kind
55:12intentions on Lyra's behalf
55:13But Lyra is my student
55:15I have everything she needs
55:17Lyra Ashford is yours
55:18You found a good one
55:20Kayan
55:20Genuinely envious
55:21With talent like hers
55:23in the next generation
55:23The alliance future
55:25is in good hands
55:26Inside the site
55:27Lyra rode Ignis
55:28straight to my side
55:29She halted
55:31right at home
55:32Clear contempt
55:33covered her face
55:34Do you see the gap
55:36between us now Kayan?
55:38Ignis reared back
55:39He breathed fire
55:40across the ground
55:41Wake up Kayan Vos
55:42My master stands
55:44far beyond your reach
55:45Accept the truth
55:46I stared at them both
55:48expressionless
55:49Then I turned
55:50my focus to Nyx
55:51I rested one hand
55:52on her head
55:53Don't cause him a notion
55:55Nix slipped off
55:56my shoulder slowly
55:59She stepped silently
56:01into the second
56:01trial gates
56:02The whole island shook
56:04the very next moment
56:05All nine stone pillars
56:06blazed to life
56:07at once
56:08The bright light
56:09surged high
56:10into the sky
56:14Lyra and Ignis
56:15froze mid-sentence
56:16as the light
56:16washed over them
56:17Eight pillars
56:18had burned bright
56:19across the island
56:19moments before
56:20Now all nine
56:21blazed in muniscy
56:22The intense light
56:23burned every island
56:24Nyx had barely
56:26stepped inside
56:26Lyra spoke
56:27raw with unmasked shock
56:29Nine pillars
56:30The ninth guardian
56:31is Peak Kingdom Epter
56:32This can't be real
56:33It's impossible
56:35Kayle must have cheated
56:36A low F-ranked beast
56:38cannot defeat
56:39a Peak Kingdom Epter
56:40Guardian
56:40It just can't
56:41Lyra clutched her head
56:42in disbelief
56:43Lyra pressed both hands
56:44to her head
56:45Something cracked open
56:46behind her eyes
56:47The worldbreaker legacy
56:49He took it
56:50He can't be the one
56:51to get it
56:52The island buckled
56:53before her words
56:54even ended
56:55The nine pillars
56:56crumbled with a thunderous
56:57crutch
56:57The island started
56:58breaking apart
56:59Everyone inside the site
57:00fled in panic
57:01They rushed for the exits
57:03scrambling toward
57:04the island's edge
57:04A spatial rift
57:06tore open soon after
57:07Lord Cain
57:08hovered atop
57:08his frost phoenix
57:09Lyra mounted behind him
57:11They landed right before me
57:12Lyra fell to the ground
57:13and lingered there a moment
57:14My lord
57:16I failed you
57:16I could not seize the legacy
57:18I lost to this nobody
57:22Lyra
57:23The site's energy is fading
57:25It collapsed on its own
57:28Nothing was ever claimed
57:31The site just collapsed on its own?
57:34Exactly
57:34Lyra's face rebuilt itself
57:36The contempt came back
57:37layer by layer
57:38I knew it
57:39Kale, you actually scared me
57:41for a second
57:41But a trash beast
57:43is a trash beast
57:44Always
57:45My lord, please
57:46Destroy the Void's Eater
57:47and Kale both
57:48Protect the Alliance
57:49Avenge Vice
57:49Cancel Heartwild
57:51No need for me to move
57:52When the site collapses
57:53No beast in survive
57:54Clarms out
57:55He wants life source to stain it
57:56The Void Eater Wraith
57:57will fade on its own
57:58not long after
57:59And I didn't even have to lift a finger
58:01You and your trash beast
58:02buried together in this rubble
58:04At least that's fitting
58:05I'm not dying
58:07But you too
58:10You will
58:14You're losing it
58:15Goodbye, Kale
58:16You're losing it
58:17Goodbye, Kale
58:18She and Kane took to the air
58:19on Ignis and the Frost Phoenix
58:21They left without looking back
58:22I looked at them go
58:24Then, quietly
58:25I'll let you keep laughing
58:27a little longer
58:28I'll let you keep laughing
58:29I'll let you keep laughing
58:30I'll let you keep laughing
58:31Thank you
