When he received a prophecy from the witches of the Minerva family about his rise or his doom to be found on this planet, he had taken it with a pinch of salt, after all, the Patriarch of the Minerva family had been lost for thousands of years and their prophecy had been weak, but he had chosen to accept it because he heard rumors of a new patriarch of the Minerva family had ascended.
Turns out his gamble was paying of. He pushed the golden bones into a swirling hole in his chest, and the Mayfly Tree used flaming vines to place them underneath her roots.
Looking around, his surroundings were devastated, and he knew it was not because of only his actions as he battled the beast, but also something else.
The terms for this beast subjugation mission was to avoid destruction above a certain threshold, else payment may be withdrawn or reduced, to Dorian that did not matter, at his current level he did not need resources all that much, only combat to refine himself further, plus he had everything he needed right here.
He idly picked up a rock, and it crumbled to ash, a few moments back a weird pulse had traveled through the planet, and the world around him began to crumble. There was a small hill in front of him, and he gently fanned the air, and it collapsed into ash.
It was as if the world had lost its vitality only leaving a shell behind., Dorian, of course, was genuinely interested to know the reason this was happening.
He had sensed a frightful power in the Third Continent that gave even him pause, and he was waiting to tackle it last when he was at the peak of his preparation, it was the reason he was going about fighting battles, he needed to be ready for what lies inside the third continent. Yet, this new development was bizarre.
He paused as his heart skipped a beat, and he turned to the skies where far in the west a golden beam of light pierced through the sky and into the void.
A few moments later, a roar followed that resonated and swept past him, and he shivered, grinning in delight as he held his blade and began flying towards the direction of the light.
The crumbling world, the golden light and the roar that echoed all over the world spoke of considerable changes, Dorian licked his lips.
He noticed his hands were shaking, whether from excitement, nervousness or fear, he did not know.
