The Author's POV

As soon as the swords started to fall down toward the ground, the world started to shake as an overwhelming force began pushing down toward the ground.

"Come, let me see how much more you can entertain me."

With an expression that suggested he was looking down on the world, Ren continued to press his hand downward as more and more swords appeared from the void and extended toward the world.

Mana agglomoration; Sky rapture.

This was the name of the move that Ren was utilizing at that very moment.

It was a skill that was exclusive to him and was not a component of the Keiki style. Ren was now able to exert control over all of the psyons that were located within a few kilometers of him as a result of his successful establishment of a stronger connection with the psyons that were present in the atmosphere.

When compared to before, he was on a completely different level right now, at least from a realistic standpoint. He had improved his strength to such a degree that the Keiki style was no longer as useful or significant as it had been in the past.

It was necessary to point out that Ren's current strength had already surpassed that of Grandmaster Keiki when he was in his prime.

The Keiki style, despite the fact that it was still somewhat useful, was not something that he would consider using very frequently anymore.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

As they descended from the void, the tangible sword energies that were as thick and long as a tree all focused their attention on Suriol, who was floating in the air slightly below Ren.

His figure, which had been undergoing a transformation earlier, had already finished morphing and resumed an appearance that was eerily similar to Ren's.

The expression on Suriol's face, which had become identical to that of Ren's, changed to one of bewilderment.

"What's going on?"

He looked up at the sky with shock.

"...The figure that you envy is none other than yourself? How is this possible?"

As soon as Suriol realized that he had transformed back into the previous form he had taken, his heart went through a period of extreme upheaval.

As he processed this information, he was stunned to discover that Ren envied himself the most.

How was this possible?

'No, wait?'

His eyes widened in surprise as he took a moment to process the information stored in his memory.

"Ah, I see...""

Suriol finally cracked a smile as his body once again underwent some changes.

His hair began to change from black to white in a gradual manner as his once blue eyes underwent a change as well, gradually transitioning to a grayish color, and his face lost all expression as it became expressionless.

Suddenly, from deep within Suriol's body, a strange power surged out. At the same time, all kinds of different memories surfaced within his mind, and everything around him lost its color.
