The World Of Demons And Gods

...…...

...

…

Night.

After absorbing the energies of the vortex, Cyrus opened his eyes once again and the changes of his body once again felt something like new.

Taking two pills have a 1.5% increase in his strength!

[Wow, look at you. To think a low tier celestial azure sky bead could actually have a little improvement to your cultivation.] Lily's voice once again rang, and the tone of her voice was very amused to what she had seen, [If one normal mortal cultivator had taken that pill, he strength would soar to its peak.]

This statement startled Cyrus.

"So you knew this pill from the beginning? Also, this is an azure sky bead? A refinement pill on the celestial realm?" Cyrus asked.

[Yes, yes, and pretty much, also this is quite common on wealthy families on the celestial realm.] Lily's casually said as if it wasn't such a great interest. However, deep on her thoughts, she was finally sure of Cyrus bloodline wasn't a mortal but a divine one.

'To think I would stumble a divine child on such a small world… This is really fascinating. Though his origins are divine, he was born with his parents on a weakened state to the point they've become mortal, so his birth is also affected. Such a pity...' Lily shook her head and sighed.

"Lily, should I test my abilities?" Pondered, he asked Lily's opinion.

[Oh, yes! I want to see this increase in your strength.]

Cyrus nodded then he closed his eyes. He took a deep breath then slowly exhaled, soon, his body started to release a faint yellow aura around his body.

The first gate opened!

Once his first gate opened, his profound veins have once again pumping anima as it circulates around his body, and the pressure on the surrounding have slowly built up, and Cyrus did not stop as he increased his strength!

The second gate opened!

The third gate opened!

…

The tenth gate opened!

As soon as he released the last gate of his Asura seal, the pressure he creates most likely stand above the paladin rank as the pressure he creates could make under his rank either suffocate, tremble, and intimidated.

"This feeling… It felt like years had already have gone past when I had felt this power." Silently talking to himself, he smiled.

The aura around his body has once again clearly radiated from his body, soon, he retracted this aura to prevent attracting disaster upon himself.

'Lynae' with a flick of his hand, a beautiful white sword appeared as he clutched into it. Holding the blade, he took it away from the scabbard and started slicing the air with it.

*swish*

*swish*

Because it's night and the only thing that gave Cyrus light on his surrounding is the full moon above his head, and because of this, the light reflected from his sword creating a cold glint and as he slices and stroke the air his sword, it creates silver lights.

"There's definitely an improvement on my sword swings, then it's time to test my reaction speed and my senses if it had improved." Cyrus looked at his sword before turning around and went straight to the tree.

Clenching his fist and aimed his fist on the tree, over one inch the distance between his fist and the tree. He explosively struck the wood and the tree shook intensely!

Soon, leaves started to fly and scattered.

Closing his eyes and extending his senses on the air of his surroundings, he held the hilt of his sword.

*Slee*

His sword slides out of its scabbard once again and soon.

Explosive speed dominated the surrounding as Cyrus danced around and every swing of his sword, every time it hits the leaves, it'll directly be sliced in half.

Soon, he stopped and looked at the result of his tests.

"Not bad! Still very lacking, I can't cut the leaves on symmetrical slices." Cyrus mused to himself, "Alright, I'll train then!"

Cyrus started training his sword skills and tried to regain his past skills on the swords that he can't do back then, although he's failing at first, as he tried and corrected his body, he can finally able to do the things that are impossible when he was young.

Getting bored, Cyrus abruptly stopped.

"Hephaestus, come forth!" Cyrus muttered.

*Boom!*

Right! Cyrus opened his fire mode!

The surrounding suddenly engulfed into a sea of fire and the flames are running wild on the vast grassland. Seeing this, Cyrus quickly controlled his flames to retreat and just revolved around him. The scarlet flames around his body create a terrifying and overwhelming heat, not only that, but Cyrus has also noticed something different on his flames!

[This is…] Lily's voice was startled because what she had seen was quite amazing, [My Phoenix flames!]

That's right! Now Cyrus' original flames were scarlet in color, however now, there's something different. It had now a golden streak of fire, and the aura it gave is extremely felt familiar for both Cyrus and Lily!

The Phoenix blood he drank had finally started to have its obvious effects! The phoenix flames!

Lily's flames and aura is gold and much purer than Cyrus' phoenix flames however, Cyrus regular flames isn't normal either!

His flames are special, and Lily's flames are also very rare and special also! Cyrus combined his Hephaestus fire and Phoenix fire creating a powerful flame!

"It seems my luck is getting better and better once again!" He smiled first then suddenly froze.

His anima consumption is extremely fast! It's like being s.u.c.k.e.d by a whirlpool!

"Obviously!" Cyrus smacked his face with hands, the greater the power, the greater the consumption of anima!

F.u.c.k you life! Why must constrict me from this suffering! Cyrus ranted deep inside.

"However, I want to see how much I can hold on this state." Cyrus mused while sweating.

10 minutes… "Hmm"

20 minutes… "Oh, I starting to feel it…"

30 minutes… "Hah… Hah…"

40 minutes… "Shit, it keeps getting tough to control and I'm getting weaker."

49 minutes… "Ugh…"

*Swoosh*

His fire mode extinguished completely, and his body slumped down and couldn't even stand up or move!

"It did improve on the idle time; however, I haven't even used my fire mahika yet!" Cyrus wanted to cry but can't as his entire body is weak as hell. He can move his pinky finger and that's all!

Seconds later, Cyrus finally able to sit, and as soon as possible, he quickly opened his cultivation mode and abruptly started to absorb the energy on the surroundings once again.

Although Lynae can help Cyrus and extend his usage of fire and use the fire on a long period of time, he doesn't want Lynae to help him when it comes to training. And even on fighting, he doesn't want to use Lynae's anima to smack his opponents, because he doesn't feel right whenever he used Lynae's powers.

He would only be able to accept Lynae' assistance when it comes to a dangerous situation when concerning his life. Because, the lives of his spirits inside his body all depend on him as their lives are connected to his life force and this is one of the burdens of Cyrus, the lives of his spirits.

And the spirits within his body would be his companion for the rest of his life, and so, he must treat his spirit as not part of him, but as part of his family. Their lives cannot be decided upon by himself even if he, the master of these spirits because if he did reckless actions and selfish things that would affect them and the worst scenario, got killed by his actions, he would never ever forgive himself.
