As the Harvest Festival of Scathach came to an end, Akasha bent down to pick her up in his arms before disappearing from the place and appearing in the house.

He carried her to his room and tucked her in before reappearing on the battlefield. His eyes looked at the soldiers with indifference, and with a gesture of his hand, Jahil appeared in front of him.

"You are very brave, Jahil, or maybe very foolish," Akasha murmured while looking directly into Jahil's eyes, who trembled under the pressure emanating from Akasha.

"You took the body of a kind, gentle king and turned him into an arrogant lunatic with delusions of grandeur in the eyes of others. Didn't you learn your lesson from Guy?" Akasha asked, the last part said with amusement in his voice.

Jahil's fear of Akasha was extinguished by the anger and hatred he felt when Akasha mocked him.

"How dare you mock me, the rightful king of this world?! Everyone should bow before me!" His face twisted grotesquely, his teeth grinding, and his fists trembling with the urge to move.

"Those insects that my father created later don't deserve to live in this world! They should only serve as slaves!" Jahil's voice dripped with hatred and madness as he spoke.

Akasha looked at him with an indifferent yet annoyed expression. "Shut your mouth, human," he whispered, leaving Jahil petrified.

"You are nothing but an incomplete being. An insect, a failed product that was thrown to the side of the road. You carry a foolish grandeur; you lack power," Akasha said casually.

"That ambition of yours is so stupid, but I have seen it. In those humans you call insects, you are no different from them, Jahil," Akasha told him.

Akasha looked at the soldiers and shook his head. "You are no less an insect than they are. You manipulated them and led them to their deaths, causing many families to lose a cherished one. In fact, that makes you worse."

Sighing, Akasha snapped his fingers, and the bloody landscape disappeared; the bodies and blood were replaced by grass and flowers. The flowers matched the number of dead soldiers.

"Anyway, their families will reunite with them soon," Akasha said casually while reaching into Jahil's chest.

Jahil's eyes widened in horror as he felt his soul being pulled out, but they quickly dimmed when Akasha extracted the soul from his body, squeezed it, and destroyed it.

Sighing, Akasha dropped Jahil's body and walked toward Gaia's body in the distance. He approached and gently touched her scales while looking at her.

"The heart of Milim would be shattered if I never saw you again, little dragon," Akasha murmured as he turned to examine the wounds on her body. "I suppose there's no choice."

A green light shone in Akasha's hand, and the wounds on Gaia's body quickly began to return to their original state. In seconds, Gaia's body was restored as she opened her eyes.

Akasha gently patted her while smiling. "You should rest, little one. I must go find your sister."

Gaia blinked in confusion before remembering what had happened. She looked at Akasha for a moment. "Kyuu..." she finally said as she shrank to her original size.

Akasha smiled and picked her up in his arms, teleporting back home and laying her in her room. Then he disappeared again.

---

Realm of Super Sorcery.

Akasha appeared near the battlefield and immediately saw Milim. Her body had changed; her hands and legs had become dragon limbs, and two wings were growing from her back.

The once-prosperous kingdom was now nothing but ruins; everything had been demolished, and the only ones preventing further destruction were Guy and Ramiris.

Guy was fighting hand-to-hand with Milim, who was in her state of madness while Ramiris absorbed the magicules that emanated from her.

Akasha approached Ramiris's side, observing her closely while she ignored him, focusing on continuing to absorb.

"Absorbing the magic of that type and at that magnitude will corrupt your soul, Ramiris," he said weakly while watching as her soul was slowly corrupted.

Ramiris clenched her teeth as she looked at him. "I know! But I'm not going to let Milim destroy this continent! Not without trying to stop her first," she said as red veins sporadically appeared on her body.

Akasha said nothing while watching her. He looked back at the battle with Milim, only to see her magicules multiplying again.

"It's her ability that has taken control of her body; Milim passed out a long time ago as a result of her evolution," Akasha revealed, astonishing Ramiris.

"Wait, you mean her ability has an ego?!" she exclaimed, her words more of a shout of affirmation than a question.

Akasha nodded. "It's a weak ego, governed by the pain of its bearer," he explained as a beautiful sword sheath appeared in his hand.

It was luxuriously made of gold and decorated with blue enamel. It looked more like a treasure that conveyed dignity and nobility, with fairy letters inscribed in the center.

"Take this," Akasha said to Ramiris as he handed her the sheath. Then he appeared in the midst of Milim and Guy's fight, leaving a stunned Ramiris behind.

Guy was surprised to see Akasha appear, but quickly stepped back and sighed in relief. "Akasha, you finally showed up."

Akasha caught Milim's fist and immobilized her. He turned to look at Guy and nodded with his indifferent expression. "I had to deal with some matters before coming."

After saying that, he struck Milim on the neck, knocking her unconscious, and threw her over his shoulder. "Done. It's all over," Akasha declared casually.

Guy sighed at Akasha's behavior, accustomed yet always astonished by his indifference.

The two walked over to where Ramiris was kneeling, catching her breath. As soon as they landed, Ramiris lunged toward Akasha, but he stopped her halfway.

"You... you... blessed insensitive being! You could have put her to sleep that quickly; why did you take so long?!" she shouted hysterically, ruining the ethereal beauty she radiated.

Akasha dismissed her anger with a carefree smile. "I was dealing with that human who created Valentine, Jahil," he explained simply.

Guy raised an eyebrow at the name Akasha mentioned.

"Jahil? I remember killing him along with his kingdom years ago. I thought he could subjugate me like a dog," Guy said with a mocking smile.

Akasha laughed and nodded in agreement. "He had the fervent idea that he owned the world, the idiot."

Ramiris calmed down upon hearing why Akasha took so long to arrive; she also knew that guy. He was arrogant, depraved, crazy, and greedy for power.

Ramiris adjusted her hair and coughed lightly. "Well, now that we've dealt with this, could you tell me what this sheath you gave me is? It sank into my soul before I could react," she asked Akasha.

Akasha looked at her as if she were an idiot, which offended Ramiris.

Sighing, Akasha explained. "It's a defense; it will protect you from everything as long as you release its true name. The fact that you possess it grants you anti-corruption, so it will help you heal faster," he said casually.

"Consider it my late gift," he added with a smile.

Ramiris nodded while feeling a bit weak. "Uff, I feel very tired; it's best I return to my abode, guys," she said wearily.

At that moment, Guy pulled out four rings with a green gem embedded in them and gave one to Ramiris and the other three to Akasha.

"I'm thinking of forming an organization of demon lords. I heard from the voice of the world about Scathach's evolution, so give one to her," he explained.

Akasha nodded and noticed there was one extra. He looked at Guy with a raised eyebrow. "Is it safe for Ramiris to become a demon lord, but me?"

"You're not one, but you can serve as a consultant, in addition to supervising Milim," Guy said with a smile.

Akasha said nothing for a while, but in the end, he nodded. "Alright, why not? I've never been in one, haha," he said while laughing a little.

Ramiris also nodded. "Sure, we'll meet again, guys. Byeee," she said and disappeared.

Akasha also said goodbye to Guy and returned home.
