nRobert’s face turned as pale as paper, his body started trembling and his eyes were moving really fast as if he was searching for a way to run away from this place

nFor a moment none of them said anything, the only sounds that could be heard were Lyre’s pained screams and the sounds coming from the city below them, but that was all interrupted when Lyre took out a half black half green talisman from her dress and teared it into pieces.

nSarina took some distance in case another kind of poison were to be used, but this time it wasn’t that, Robert suddenly screamed.

n“Aghhhhrghh”.

nRobert turned to see Lyre but before he could speak is eyes rolled backwards, all the veins in his neck, arms, legs and face bulged, his body grew until he was more than three meters tall, his skin turned black and changed into something that looked like rock, claws replaced his hands and some kind of green liquid oozed out of his eyes and mouth.

nAster frowned his eyes, Robert’s current state remind him of the creature he met in the forest, but there was a difference, that creature had use of reason but it seems that wasn’t the case here.

n“Well, now your exterior appearance matches your inside I guess”, he said.

nAs expected, unlike before, Robert didn’t answer to his provocations in his current state, instead the thing that used to be Robert immediately rushed towards Sarina while growling.

nWith a low exploding sound Aster disappeared from his previous position, he appeared besides Robert and with his right hand which was now clad in a golden armor he grabbed him by the neck and flew away while dragging him along.

nBefore leaving Aster said in a loud voice.

n“I’ll take care of this guy, you three get rid of the bitch!!!”.

nLyre had a crazy expression; she gave Sarina and Alice a poisonous gaze before yelling.

n“I don’t care about this damn mission anymore, what use has a to influence someone who cowards in a fight with a damn kid, at least he will be a bit more useful now since you won’t be ale to get any information from him!!!”.

nAs if something had snapped inside Robert after Lyre finished speaking, his body started growing again, he actually got rid of Aster’s grip and without any previous sign, the creature’s image flashed and a second later it was less than 30 meters away from Alice and Kana.

n*Boom*

nA figure fell from the sky and clashed against the floor a huge amount of earth, rocks and pieces of houses which were destroyed due to the impact flew in all directions, above all the mess Aster was floating, both of his arms and his chest were now covered by a golden armor.

nHis expression was a bit interested, a moment ago he used the compression of the armor which increased the power with which he hit Robert, taking into account the sum of his physical strength and the compression of the armor, that attack should have destroyed part of his enemy’s body.

nHowever, it only managed to crash him to the ground and although there was a large dent in Robert’s chest with the form of a fist, he came out of the debris and tried to attack Alice and Kana again, still this time they were prepared, the barrier covered Kana while Alice shot a black fire ball to intercept Robert.

nAster saw Alice taking over the fight and he shouted to Sarina.

n“That thing has reached the middle stage of the star vertex realm in terms of physical body, but Alice will take care of it, get rid of the woman from Riga… I will go above the clouds to see how is the old man doing”.

nSarina nodded, a huge amount of wind gathered around her and then a wall made of wind surrounded her and Lyre forming a separated space.

n“She won’t escape from me, I leave that monster to you two”, she said.

nAster was paying his complete attention to the fight that was happening in the ground, Alice continuously used her destruction element to bombard Robert, every time the black flames impacted Robert, he will let out a pained roar and then some kind of green liquid will cover the wound slowing down the rate at which destruction affected his body.

nHe descended from the sky next to the barrier, which opened to let Kana out.

nShe looked at Aster’s current appearance and twinkles seemed to appear in her little eyes.

n“Big brother is the golden knight!!!”, she exclaimed.

n“Mm?”, Aster turned to see Kana and seeing her surprised and excited expression, he smiled, “how cute”.

nHe patted her head a couple of times and the golden light that usually covers him whenever he uses the paragon body, extended to Kana, since the previous evolution he was able to protect others as long as they were near him, but this is the first time he used it.

nKana saw her body which was now being enveloped by the same golden light as Aster and she happily smiled.

n“Woahhh, this golden light is so pretty”.

nAster was amused by her reaction, but Rya who was watching everything from the mind space didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry.

n“Sigh, a Primordial Divine body constitution… used to entertain a little girl, I guess that’s something only the master of this empress will think of doing”, she thought.

nA huge explosion made the floor tremble a bit, Aster looked at the surrounding situation, burn marks everywhere, destroyed houses other buildings and the Alice’s smiling figure in the middle of all that.

n“She seems to be enjoying this quite a bit”, he thought.

nHe approached his sister along with Kana who followed him, Robert was lying on the floor a couple of meters ahead, his body was completely singed, although the slight movements in his chest indicated that he was still alive.

nAlice had a slightly tired expression but she was smiling.

n“Humph, that’s what you get for interrupting my fun with my brother”, she said, not noticing that both Aster and Kana were near to her.

nKana had a confused expression.

n“Were you two playing together when the archduke sent the maid to harm you, big sister?”, she asked.

nAlice now noticed she was not alone; in the heat of the battle, she spoke out loud instead of thinking about it.

nShe turned to see Aster like saying “help me with this”, but he only laughed at her predicament.

n“That’s what you get for not paying attention to your surroundings”, he thought.

nAlice cleared her throat and smiled at Kana.

n“Yes… your big brother and me were “playing”, when that happened so I was a bit angry about that”.

nAster had a hard time containing his laugh, “a bit angry you say? You nearly erased this whole area of the city”.

nSeeing that the wind wall was still containing both Sarina and the woman from the Riga continent, he walked towards Robert who was half dead at this point, unlike before his hair had turned lifeless and gray, his former big complex was nowhere to be seen, instead he was basically a sack of bones covered by burned skin now.

nAlthough Alice didn’t want Kana to see what was about to happen, she didn’t try to stop her, it was her decision after all, she sat down in the floor to rest for a moment, in that last attack which finally made Robert stay down, she used all her reserves of both spirit energy and destruction element.

nShe fought the equivalent to a middle stage Karnal Disaster realm cultivator while being at the star formation realm after all, so it was quite impressive that her attacks did affect him.

nAster stopped walking in front of Robert and Kana stopped a couple of steps behind of him.

nHe noticed her little body shivering a bit, which was comprehendible, the monster that tried to kill her a moment ago, used to be her father after all.

nAster extended his hand at her.

n“Come here Kana, there are a lot of people like him in the world… but you shouldn’t be afraid of them, especially since your big brother is here so he won’t be able to hurt you, okay?”.

nKana doubted for a second before she held Aster’s hand.

n“Mm, big brother Aster is the golden knight so everything will be fine ♥”.

nAster smiled, he dragged her closer to him and then extended his free arm towards Robert, “trash like you who were more than willing to sacrifice your own daughter just for your selfishness doesn’t deserve to enter the cycle of reincarnation”, he thought.

nHis hand shone in golden light at Robert immediately turned into dust which was reduced to nothingness a second later, he felt Kana’s hand tightening around his, he patted her head a couple of times to help her calm down.

nThere were two reasons to finish Robert with annihilation, first although he wanted Kana to witness his end so she could overcome the situation and avoid forming an inner demon like the one that affected Lilia, he didn’t want her to see blood spilled everywhere, second… not only the body was vanished from existence, even the soul will disappear, so those who he killed with annihilation will never reincarnate, true death in all the mean of the world.

nThey returned to where Alice was resting.

n“Sis take care of Kana while I go check on the old man”, he said before using lightning trail to ascend to the sky.

nKana was surprised.

n“Big brother can command lightning to float in the sky!!!”, she exclaimed.

nFrom her point of view, Aster was riding on a lightning, a visual effect caused by the combination of lightning step and the little invisible platforms forming under his feet.

nAlice shook her head, “of course when he is front of girls he will show off”, she thought before activating the barrier just in case.
